Doggy Day Care in Freetown

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was five years old, and that love has never wavered. Over the past five decades, I've cared for an extraordinary range of breeds such as German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, Collies, Lhasa Apsos, Jack Russells, American Staffordshire Terriers, English Bulldogs, and Chihuahuas, among others. I currently share my home with three Chihuahuas of my own, ranging from 8 months to 7 years old, so your dog will always have friendly, familiar company. My experience goes well beyond basic care: I have bottle-fed newborn Chihuahuas rejected by their mother, and I am currently completing CPR certification specifically for dogs. I am bully-breed friendly and comfortable with a wide variety of temperaments and sizes. I bring reliability, genuine dedication, and a deep belief that every dog deserves the highest standard of love and respect, and you can be sure that is exactly what your pet will receive in my care. As a semi-retired professional who works from home, my schedule is highly flexible and centered around my three dogs. Your pet will never be left alone for long stretches; I'm home the vast majority of the day, which means regular walks, playtime, meals, and attention are built into the routine naturally. I treat pet care not as a side task but as a core part of my day. Your dog will be staying on a private two-acre property with a semi enclosed backyard: plenty of space to run, explore, and decompress. Please note that the front yard is not fenced, so all outdoor front-yard time is leashed and supervised. Inside, your pet will have a dedicated private room, cozy bedding, and a crate available upon request (crate reimbursement appreciated). In the event of any medical concern, the nearest emergency veterinary clinic is conveniently located on State Road in Swansea.

About: Growing up with a black lab, I developed a strong love for dogs and pets in general. If I wasn't in the middle of college, I would have a rescue pup of my own! Often in my day-to-day activities, I find myself wishing I had a furry companion, so the idea of pet-sitting and providing pet services for others came to my mind. I love going on walks, and if your dog joins me, that will make two of us. I promise to love your pup like they are my own. I want to keep your dog active and engaged. You won't have to worry about if your dog is in good hands, because I assure you they will be! It would be a pleasure to provide pet services to you. I have a hybrid/remote schedule at my current full-time job in higher education, which allows some flexibility in terms of working location during the week and pet sitting after work and on the weekends as well. In your home, I follow the routine of your pet(s) just as you do, and I treat your home with respect, leaving everything as I found it.

“Nicole & Ryan are absolutely amazing!! They are responsive, kind, and accommodating. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in their care and cannot recommend them enough. Will definitely be reaching out again and we know our dog is just as excited as we are to have found a good match!”

About: We've had our own dogs for over ten years, and have pet-sat for countless of our friends over that time. One of our dogs was an intensely-traumatized rescue, who after intentional time and love, has become the absolute baby of the family. We're familiar with dealing with anxiety in dogs and making them feel as comfortable as possible, and have plenty of time and space to play! Our mission is to offer people a simple, affordable option for boarding their pets: to keep them fed, safe and company while you're away. There's nothing worse than doubling the price of your vacation just to get your pets looked after! We keep our boarding price more than reasonable to give folks the financial bandwidth to spend their vacation money on their vacation--not on boarding their pets. We are both contract workers with flexible schedules, and Taylor is often able to work from home so your pets will have plenty of companionship! So we told you our mission-- There's a few ways this translates. We have a huge yard. So, we don't take your pups on walks. BUT. We play fetch, tug of war, and intentionally initiate zoomies. If your pup is conditioned to expect walks, it's probably most fair to find a sitter who'll get that walk in! We love a good daytime cuddle, but we also like a good night's rest. So, your pets sleep in the living room, helping us avoid chaos while we're getting shut-eye. We kindly ask that if you book with us, that you're confident your doggies can sleep out on their own without too much fuss! We have an array of options for creating ideal environments for your pets, with baby gates, a large yard that can be segmented for dogs needing smaller spaces or space from others, and multiple kennels. Coming soon, an electric fence with an extra collar for your pup if you'd like it!

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and truly love having them around. I do tend to spoil them, but I always follow the instructions you, the parent, provide. I have had senior dogs and puppies and always give them the extra care they need. We are a retired couple and always enjoy having a dog around us. We have plenty of time to play with pups, and give them lots of love. We have a fenced in backyard to play in, comfortable beds to sleep in. We won’t be taken in other family's dogs while yours is here.

About: I've volunteered at shelters and sanctuaries, worked at dog salon and groomers, have owned, fostered and sat for dogs my entire life. They complete me. I'm currently available during most daytime hours and will work with you to accommodate your schedule with your dog's needs. Available on most weekends also. As a fur mom of two, I already have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to zoom! Crating is available for those that need the peace and quiet also. I have senior and puppy experience too.

Austin was very patient with puppy behaviors and was polite and respectful during our time with him. I felt safe leaving our puppy with Austin and would recommend him highly.”

About: I’ve had 3 dogs my entire life. Pitbull, Shih Tzu and a chihuahua. Currently the financial responsibility of a pet is too great but I love their companionship. I’m kind, patient and loving. I’m working remotely currently, so I’ll be home all day every day and will be able to pet sit. I’m looking for temporary situations at this time with the possibility of something long term to help out for your vacations! I have a large non fenced in yard. And live in a luxury, pet friendly condo with a dog park. I have 2 boys who also love pets who would absolutely love to cuddle and give attention if your baby decides it’s ok!

“I think Brittanie is great and caring for Bijou, bijou gets excited when Brittanie arrives and ready to go. she is wonderfull and keeps me up to date during walks and when setting up visits Dieter”

Dieter B.

“Rebeka is very sweet. Marshall was nervous going to a new place but she sat with him and cuddled with him, which is exactly what works. She was responsive and professional with all communication and we highly recommend her! Marshall had adjusted and was happy by the time we came to pick him up.”
