Doggy Day Care in Florence

About: I'm a wildlife biologist and grew up with pets of all kinds. I've raised puppies and kittens and cared for senior dogs and cats. Your pet will join my family, including our well-socialized dog, my husband (also a wildlife biologist), and our 2 daughters. I will personally provide the care for your pet in a safe, loving, and playful environment, a quiet space when needed, a roomy, cozy interior, and a beautiful, large fenced yard. I work from home in a part-time position and care for our family dog while kids are at school. I'm able to offer daily walks and as many mealtimes, potty breaks, and attention as your pet needs. At night, pets sleep inside in whichever arrangement is preferred for them. It can be so hard to leave a beloved pet, but worry not! I like to give pets their best life! I'm able to care for well-socialized pets and provide plenty of exercise and affection every day, and cozy resting spots where I am never far. I have a large fenced yard and 2 crates available if needed. Reactive dogs are not a good fit for my home.

“I was in need of a last-minute dog sitter and Tavia responded quickly and saved the day! She was great with our pup and took several cute photos for us to let us know he was okay. I highly recommend her!”

“I had an excellent experience with Kenneth, who recently watched my dog, Arnie. Kenneth was incredibly flexible and accommodating with my schedule, which made everything so much easier. His kindness and genuine love for animals were evident from the start. He kept me updated with regular photos, showing how happy and well-cared-for Arnie was. I felt completely at ease knowing that Arnie was in such good hands. I highly recommend Kenneth to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: Greetings! I've grown up with adopted dogs and have raised one from a puppy to adulthood. My entire home is open to pups (human beds and furniture), but will adhere to any rules you have in your home. My neighborhood has a lot of kids and other dogs around, as well as large common areas for running around. Can administer medication via treats or orally. Have experience working with dogs on- and off-leash, as well as in packs. Will be able to transport pups in a roomy vehicle all around town and beyond. My daily schedule is pretty flexible, and I'm open to hosting pups in my house or dropping in at the comfort of your pup's own home. Tell me all about your furry friend. Hoping I can meet you and your companion soon! I have a very sporadic work schedule, so I'm home frequently during the weekdays and weekends, and typically am only gone from the home for about 5 hours if I have to be somewhere. I'm able to accommodate frequent walk and bathroom break schedules, have experience taking multiple dogs in my car to hiking trails and other adventure areas. When I'm available to work, I'll frequently be with your pet throughout the day and overnight. While I do not have a fenced yard, I live in a quiet neighborhood with open grassy areas and safe sidewalks. Will frequently run into kids of all ages in the area, and they're very responsive to dogs of all temperaments. If in your home I'd like to know anything and everything to keep your pet safe and comfortable, if you have cameras indoors or outdoors, as well as anything else about your pet's routine.

“A beautiful, fenced and safe place for dogs to play to their heart's content. Then, warm & comfy dress to cuddle after playing. ❤️”

About: Ive had and taken care of my dogs and other people's dogs and cats since I was 10. I have 3 dogs myself and love walking and spending time with them. I've administered medication, vaccines and know basic first aid. Experience also working at a horse stable so im comfortable around all animals. Hope to meet you and your fur babies soon. Free during the day most days as I work nights on the weekends. I can also do farm or livestock care I look forward to discussing you and your pets needs. I work from home and keep boarded dogs in office with me when working and in secured area/crate if I need to be out of the house. My yard is fenced with 6ft kennel panels.

“Could not have a nicer kind hearted person as Danielle to watch our pup! She sent lots of updates and pictures! So happy we got a chance to meet her!”

“Ben does an excellent job in caring for your pet! Our dog was walked daily and had the advantage of spending the day with Ben’s good natured dog. Stress free environment with plenty of attention throughout the day. I highly recommend Ben as a caregiver. Just don’t take our spot! Truly a great experience for our dog and helped us tremendously. Thanks Ben!!!”

“Bison LOVED her stay with Aderley! She had so much fun she didn’t want to come home! Aderley took amazing care of Bison, like she was her own! I’m so happy I found Aderley, she is the sweetest and has the kindest heart! I couldn’t recommend her more!! She played with Bison, walked her, fed her and snuggled her! I will definitely be booking with Aderley again!”

About: I LOVE DOGS! I have been training dogs in some capacity since I was 8 years old and pet/farm sitting for many years. As a licensed veterinary technician since 2011, I have plenty of experience not only caring for your pet but what to do if an emergency were to occur. I worked in an ER clinic for 10 years specifically and am well versed in how to deal with minor to major injuries or illnesses if that were to occur while you were away. We try to keep your pet's schedule the same as yours best we can. With Heidi currently working from home this is much more easily facilitated. Our home has a fenced yard for our own pups, dog friendly environment and no furniture off limits household. We do have one cat but she is good at reading dog energy in a room.

About: I am a reliable and loving dog sitter, I work from home so my schedule is perfect for anxious pets and gives me flexibility for all kinds of different needs (as long as I have WiFi)! I have over 6 years of professional pet care experience and a genuine love for ALL animals of all ages and personalities! I grew up with dogs and cats and quickly learned how to care for them with patience, structure, and lots of affection. I’m comfortable administering medication, caring for puppies, and helping with potty training. I also enjoy teaching basic tricks and reinforcing good habits to keep your pets happy and engaged. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or special care, I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own. As a college student who can’t commit to adopting right now, caring for your pets brings me so much joy. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away :) I am currently working from home, I just need my computer and WiFi and have flexible availability, let me know what your pets schedule is and I should be available most of the day! I can take your pet out on a lash when going outside to make sure we’re safe! I will make sure your home is taken care of and everything is done according to the clients instructions

About: Thought I'd try this app out to make an extra buck. I am a lover of all pets, well maybe not spiders. I grew up in the remote country of Wisconsin, with a bunch of farm animals, as well as cats and dogs. Growing up with pets, and farm animals is crucial for knowing animals. I'm always taking my roommates dog for walks, and to the dog park. We have a big fenced in yard in the heart of Missoula. Meru (my roommates female dog) is really friendly and loves all other cats and dogs. I would focus my energy on your dogs and cats of course, but if Meru and your dogs cross paths they'll be best friends for the day. Hope to hear from you, and lend a helping hand with your best friends. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make sure pets get plenty of attention throughout the day — not just quick check-ins. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and companionship while keeping a calm, clean environment. I also make time for photo/video updates so owners always know how their pets are doing. I enjoy building routines around each pet’s individual needs and personality. I care for every pet like they’re my own and focus heavily on safety, comfort, cleanliness, and communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and any special needs so they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, clean environment with plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and space to relax. I always introduce pets carefully and prioritize safety at all times. In clients’ homes, I respect their routines and instructions closely to help pets stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I keep feeding schedules, walks, litter boxes, medications, and daily care consistent while also providing regular photo and video updates for peace of mind. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.

“Kerry is a top notch dogsitter. Her and her husband took the greatest care of my dog. From playtime with her dogs to trips out and about,and treats and pets. She did an amazing job. Above and beyond. Thank you so much.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember, having grown up with them since the age of five. Caring for dogs has always been a natural and meaningful part of my life, and I genuinely love giving them the attention, patience, and affection they deserve. Over the years, friends and family have consistently trusted me to care for their dogs while they’re away, knowing their pets would be safe, comfortable, and well looked after. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feedings, or simply providing companionship, I take pride in being attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m now excited to turn this lifelong passion into something fulfilling and rewarding by offering reliable dog-sitting services. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace—and I always strive to create a calm, loving environment. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel happy, secure, and loved, and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your dog will return to you just as happy as you make them. I work from home so will have plenty of time to play and give attention to your fur babies. I will make lots of time for playtime, walks and love. I have a fenced in yard or I can keep them crated if you need/want. Just depends on your preference. If you want me to dog sit at your house, I will follow whatever routine you already have with your dogs so they don’t even realize you are gone or mess their routine up too much.

“Megan is both responsive and responsible. She seamlessly folded my dog Emerson into her play time with her cute dog Cheddar. She sent several pictures to show that Emerson had a great day! I would definitely use Megan again if I need sitting in the Missoula area. Thanks Megan and Cheddar!”

About: I have been caring for animals since pet sitting for my aunt and uncle’s 3 rowdy dogs as a teen, sometimes up to a month when they went on long trips. I also have cared for dogs of my own for most of my adult life and consider them to be members of the family. My current dog Ron has some special care needs which has taught me to be patient and sensitive to pups who need a little extra care and attention. I would love to welcome your furry buddy into our home and would treat them like another member of the family. I currently work from home so am able to give your pup lots of attention and exercise. I also am a very active person and love to frequent the local trails if that is something you would like for your pup. I have a fenced front and back yard and a dog door that can be locked if need be. I have multiple dog beds and also allow dogs on the furniture (I of course will not allow it if it’s a behavior you don’t want your dog to learn). Like I said, I consider them to be part of the family.

“Memo was fantastic! They were very communicative, took great care of my pup, and was flexible with a changing schedule. I would highly recommend!”

About: I have 27 years of experience in animal care, including work in animal shelters, veterinary clinics, and with detection dogs. I’m experienced in administering medications, providing basic training, and caring for pets with special needs. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m used to working long and unpredictable hours. Happy to come early mornings and late evenings and available on weekends. I will provide attentive, personalized care in my home or yours, including a fenced yard for safe play, routine walks, feeding, medications, enrichment, and companionship.

About: Animals have been a constant in my life since childhood. I've loved and cared for many pets of my own - dogs, cats, ferrets, small animals, reptiles, birds, and fish - which has given me hands-on experience with everything from syringe feeding to crate, house, and litter box training to medical and senior care. I've fostered rescues, volunteered at the Humane Society, worked in pet stores, and looked after friends' and neighbors' pets many times over the years. I'm attentive, calm, and protective, with a deep respect for all living beings. When you trust me with your pet, you can count on them being safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I'm home throughout the week so pets in my care are never left unsupervised and get plenty of attention, interaction, and companionship. If there are any daytime hours where I may need to be away from home, that will always be communicated clearly with owners ahead of time during scheduling. I have two small dogs and a cat of my own, so I'm very mindful about maintaining a calm environment, always paying close attention to the comfort, boundaries, and safety of each animal. My one-level home has a fully fenced backyard where pets enjoy supervised outdoor time for play, exercise, and potty breaks. Pets in my care are treated like members of the family, and because I prioritize consistent supervision and safety, I do not offer off-property pack walks during boarding stays.

About: Hello there! My name is Iris and I’m an Outdoor Educator and avid outdoors person with a flexible schedule! I grew up with a variety of dogs and cats, primarily medium to large sized dogs and stray cats we brought in to nurture and love. In my home we have 1 dog and 1 cat who are best friends! we have 40 acres of land but none of it is fenced so we have trained our pup to stay close. our daily routine will be at least a morning and evening walk a day plus some games of chase or tag and brain games. I am a teacher at an outdoor school and a nanny so i ahve lots of flexibility in my hours! I will typically take my dog Cedar on a walk in my morning with my tea and then we will snuggle, play fetch, maybe go to the dog park and then go on another evening stroll I love all animals dearly and cannot wait to care for yours. I believe strongly in positive reinforcement, as well as being keen on each animals physical cues (body language) as to react appropriately in each moment. I am willing and able to adapt my behavior around your pet(s) to suit your training preferences. I also think that activity and mental stimulation play a huge part in a dogs behavior so I will put lots of time and energy into that
