Doggy Day Care in Franconia

“Billie Jo has watched my dog many times and is great with her. She has plenty of space for your pup to run and play and makes your dog feel at home. I highly recommend!”

About: I will do anything to make sure my fur babies have everything they need. From spoiling them with love to making sure they have enough food and water. I also make sure my cats have their litter box cleaned daily. Overall, I am flexible with scheduling, I am reliable, trust worthy and will make sure your precious animals have everything they need. I am currently working overnights on Saturdays. I ALWAYS check before I go ANYWHERE to make sure my babies have food and water. Stuff that they can't get into is up and put out of reach. I always spend time with them before I go for however long they want and need. Their happiness comes first. I treat them like my own children. (Don't have children yet) I am very flexible and will take a lot of my time out fo the day to make sure they are happy. I don't go out much anymore. I am a homebody but when I do, I always come back home for my babies. I make sure the house is cleaned, keeping an eye on what the animals get into to make sure they are okay. Making sure the living conditions are sanitary. Spoiling them with toys and love. Just overall making sure they are happy and healthy. At the same time, asking questions when needed and giving the owners updates throughout the day:) I also am very open and flexible when it comes to animal sitting.

“Tim is so good with Darcy. She loves going for walks and playing with his dog Gracie.”

“Margaret has watched our 2 Great Pyrenees dogs for us many times. She is competent and friendly, going the extra mile to spend time just hanging out with them. They are LGDs, so can be wary of strangers, but they LOVE her. (Maybe a little too much, if covering her with hair and drool are any indication of their excitement to spend time with her!). Your pet will be in loving and capable hands with Margaret!”

“My dog had a great time and loved posing with Amanda and zac’s pups! Reliable, responsive, and so sweet!”

“Mary would be great as a pet sitter. She really cares about dogs and has a lot of experience. Her home is set up for dogs to be comfortable. She has always been an excellent caregiver for dogs who stay with her.”

About: I've had dogs and cats all my life. I am the type to keep my dogs active whether it be playing fetch in the yard or throwing the stick in the lake for them to fetch. I believe in lots of play toys and chewys so they never get bored. I also understand the dog who might be more calm, maybe a little shy and likes time alone, and that is very understandable. I am a retired nurse and know pretty well the signs and symptoms of pain or discomfort. I understand the importance of proper nutrition and availability of fresh water. I lost my 14 yr. old lab to old age 2 years ago, and just recently got a new yellow lab puppy here in March. I really missed having a travel companion! I'm a unique pet/house sitter in that I travel in my beautiful Canadian Roadtrek Campervan and can house "watch" while taking care of your pets. I do not need to stay in your home. Any additional duties other than "watch" your house can be negotiated- like water a few houseplants, etc. I do ask that you provide a household electric (120V) outside plug in. My small RV uses approx. $2-$3 per day of electricity. I love animals. I have a yellow Labrador myself! I travel often in my RV and we make great travel partners often stopping at dog parks 2-3 times a day on our adventures. Beau would love to have playmates! I can only provide mobile pet/house sitting. I am unable to pet sit in the home I live in. I am a recently retired nurse. I am trained not only in human CPR, but I also have dog and cat CPR training. I have given pets medication, induced vomiting -per instructions while on the phone with a vet tech (after dog ate 1 1/2 lbs of bing cherries - pits and all. Happy ending! :). When I go into a home I find myself scanning countertops and floors for potential hazards for pets - things like medications, foods, hot boiling water on stovetop with handles pointing out, etc... I am constantly monitoring for potential dangers. Sometimes things happen though, unfortunately, that can't be avoided and that's when first aid, CPR, poison control line, and Vet info should all be available and handy. I ask that all instructions be written down and text/emailed to me 24 hours prior. That way if I have any questions, they can be answered before you leave on your relaxing worry-free vacation!

“Maddie is an excellent dog sitter! She loves animals and is great with them. She’s a very active person and makes sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, from walks to runs. Maddie is a great choice to take care of your dog!”

About: I just recently had to put my 14.5 year old Yorkie Poo to rest. I miss having a buddy at my house but not ready to take on another animal full time yet. I supported my dog through pancreatitis, congestive heart failure and other health considerations. We had him since he was a couple months old until his golden years. I have watched other family members, friends and neighbor’s dogs and always treat them like my own! I currently work from home and have very flexible hours. My children are at school during the day. The pet would be with me with most of the time, outside of errands. I currently do not have any animals in the house. I can take the dog on walks and out to use the restroom throughout the day as I do not have a fenced in yard. I have a large yard if your dog can be trusted off leash with supervision. I love to have dogs snuggle, so they are just like any other family member, allowed on the furniture. I will be home to either schedule feed, have the graze eat or kennel as requested.

About: Since I was 6 years old my family had dogs and cats as pets. All the dogs we had we got as puppies so I handled the potty training, taught tricks and the main obedience training like sit and stay. I've watched family and friends dogs which also included days/nights at a time like when they were out of town working. I have watched and been with tiny dogs to giant dogs. I'm a stay at home mom at the moment so I have plenty of time to care for your pet pretty much at anytime day or night. I have a fenced yard so easy to let in and out as needed, big area take out or let out to play. My house is pretty open with area for them to roam or find good spot to just relax. I have never crated any of my animals but if needed or wanted obviously I could do that. If you have a special diet for your dog I would follow that for you also. My kids and I also love to go on walks and would love your dog to join. I do have three very young kids so your dog must get along with children. My kids love animals, they were very sad after losing our last dog so they'd be very excited to play with others. I currently have a cat, she'll most likely hide and if needed can be in a seperate area in the house.

“Lisa communicates very well and took great care of my pups”

“Anna was absolutely wonderful! She was open to a meet and greet before we left. We could not have had a better experience! She sent updates with pictures of our pup and it was great knowing that our dog was in good hands while we were away! I could just feel that Rosie fit right in at her place and loved her like she was theirs. I highly recommend using Anna for your dog sitting needs!”

“Holly’s first time in someone else’s care went well. Thanks to Danielle in noticing Holly’s specific needs. Holly loves her little gifts she got especially the squeak toy. The texts and photo were great to know she was doing okay while we were away.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 15. I have experience training exercising and of course cuddling. I can care for puppies and senior dogs as well as dogs with special needs. I am currently self-employed and can set my own schedule, which gives me lots of time to work around your needs for care for your pet I have a large property where your dog can exercise. We have a very friendly chocolate Labrador that loves to play. We treat animals we are boarding as if they are our own.

“Shelly was awesome. She was flexible when I had to change my dates. There was plenty of open space and other animals for Bear to play with. Shelly also was helping with our potty training since Bear is only three months old. I will use her again.”

“Beth has been our dog sitter for over 13 years. She took care of our 2 Havanese doggies while we went out of town for skiing or summer vacations. She was so trustworthy and we felt like our dogs were safe at all times. Her home was clean and so inviting and cosy. She had dog fences up to keep the dogs in safe areas. She kept us updated on how our dogs were doing and send photos also. We truly miss Beth and her husband when they moved to Colorado and wish they were still here to look after our dogs.”

“Krista is SIMPLY THE BEST (yes, hear Tina Turner belting this out in your head 😄)! Our dog, Finn, loves her so much and has a great time with her three sweet dogs every time he goes to her place. Krista is incredibly kind and attentive, and we always appreciate the adorable photos of Finn she sends!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was kid. In my younger years I would dog sit at peoples houses, in the last few years I would watch friends and families dogs. I have had everything everything from a potty training puppy to a senior dog. I work full time at home. I have kids ranging from 12-16 who love and respect animals. I do run kids to practice in the evenings and such but someone is home at all times. I have a fenced in yard that I look out from my desk. My work is flexible for me to be able to let your dog out as needed.
