Doggy Day Care in Friendsville

About: I’ve grew up with dogs and have taken care of them All My Life Basically! They Provide An Unconditional Love & Deserve That Unconditional Love Back! Although I currently don’t have any dogs of my own, I sure do enjoy the company of family Members & others dogs. Loving them, walking them, Cleaning Up After Them, Bathing Them, & Also feeding & playing with them ! Animals Are Family & What Is Life Without a Wagging Tail?! I’m currently working from home so I have plenty enough time to play & care for your fur babies! I Do onboarding in my home whether It’s For A Few Hours, all Day , over night or for a few nights! I Love to update parents on their fur babies with pics and videos to show how they are doing as I know some dogs get separation anxiety from being away from their owners! I do not have a fenced in yard but I would love to take your dogs for walks to enjoy the fresh air and potty! I do not have any animals currently living with me so I don’t mind them not being in a crate, if your dog is crate trained and would prefer them to be in it certain times that is also okay with me.

“We needed a dog sitter while visiting WVU for the day. We found Megan and were happy to use her doggy daycare for our Takoa. Megan communicated with me often and checked in about how Takoa was doing with her dogs. He had such a fun time with her amd loved her 2 labs! We will definitely reach out again when we are visiting the area and highly recommend her!”

“Jessica did a wonderful job with Webster. She sent me videos and pics throughout the day and really made me feel at ease with having my puppy out of my care for the day. Thank you so much Jessica.”

“I used Rover for the first time for doggy day care over the 4th of July weekend 2022 while on vacation. I chose Janel based on her excellent reviews and the fact that she was conveniently located in DeepCreek/ McHenry, MD. I also loved that the dogs had full access to her home and even allowed on the furniture. Janel and her family welcomed my 50 pound female labradoodle with open arms as one of their own. I received photo's of My girl on walks and relaxing at the house which reassured me that she was in good hands. I previously used different company in the area and when picking up my dog she was very stressed and anxious. I assumed she may have been crated for some length of time. Not a good situation for an active 2 year old. She was the total opposite when I picked her up from Janel's home. Her tail was wagging and she was in good spirits. I am very pleased and feel fortunate to have found Janel and her family. I am a frequent visitor to the area and hope Janel's home will be a second home for Maya.  I'm so grateful for dog loving families like Janel's! Yolanda”

About: I decided to join Rover because my friends always contact me to take care of their pets and they say I should make a job of it :) I’ve also been a personal assistant to two families, which included staying with and checking in on their pets on a daily basis and while they were away. I’ve had a few clients over the years where I’ve taken care of their dogs, cats, rabbits, goats and other farm animals. I’ve helped run a small farm as well so if you have horses or other animals that need looked after, I’m all in! I have a college degree and manage a restaurant now. I’m very responsible, handle stress well, and have always taken my obligations very seriously. I’m trustworthy and always on time. That’s part of being a business woman :) Besides that though, I truly love animals and I’m very fond of dogs, cats, and horses. I’d love to help you out so be sure to get in touch! Fortunately, as a restaurant manager, I get to create my own schedule so I enjoy helping out families with their pets in my off time. If you need me to take your dog(s) for a walk, stop by to play with your pets, check in, potty breaks, or spending the night, let’s discuss what schedule you need. I’m very flexible and can also help with any special needs you may have such as giving meds or cleanings. Just leave me instructions and I will be sure to follow those and any other guidelines you may have. Keeping your pets safe and entertained will be my priority. I’d love to send you pics and check-ins to offer you peace of mind while your away.

“Amber was fantastic, very responsive and helpful for our trip on the GAP trail! Highly recommend, will be a repeat customer. Thank you”

“She made me feel so comfortable dropping off my puppy, to someone other than family. She updated me so much and sent so many photos and videos !! I would definitely recommend her for any needs !!”

“Our pup is experiencing some separation anxiety and so we weren't sure how he would handle a day at a sitters. Mckayla and Christian took such good care of him. They sent lots of pictures to reassure us that all was well with him. Thank you for your great care of our puppy! Note: only reason we are not repeat customers is that we live 7 hours away and were just briefly stopping here.”

About: I've spent my whole life surrounded by animals—caring for everything from playful puppies and cuddly cats to bunnies, ferrets, and more. I’ve fostered kittens, helped them grow strong and social, and supported pets through every stage of life. What started as helping family, friends, and neighbors has grown into a true calling. I have experience with pets of all ages, medical needs, and those requiring special attention—like blind or deaf animals who need extra patience and care. Whether it’s daily check-ins or last-minute sitting, I treat every pet like family—because that’s how I’d want mine treated too. I work from home and I make my own schedule. So, tons of time for walks, play-time, bathing, and cuddles. Missing your fur baby? No worries! As a fur mom, I know how reassuring it can be to get updates, with pictures and videos, while being away from your babies. I have 2 pups and tons of toys that will keep your pups entertained, and space they can retreat to if they feel overstimulated. I live close to trails for enjoyable walks, for the pups that are properly safeguarded with prevention and vaccines for a walk through the woods. I have plenty of kitty toys and scratchers for my kitty friends, so they can have fun and keep their nails in tip top shape. My fur babies have a calm and safe environment, and we’d love to share that with your fur baby.

“Amber’s place was easy to find. Her dogs were very friendly and Axel enjoyed their company.. they played and ran around and then all fell asleep”

“Sarah was really great with Cali. He warmed up to her right away! It was our first time dropping him off at a doggy day care, and it was a very positive experience :) highly recommend”

“I highly recommend Brian for dog sitting my pet, Chase. It was last minute because the hotel that we stayed don’t allow pet to be left alone and I left a message to Brian that night if he’s available in the morning. He’s very accomodating and professional. He has also a very good place for dogs to play. This is my first time to use Rover app and gladly, we are really satisfied.”

“Faith was very kind and patient with not only my dog but also with my circumstance. She was willing to work with me in order to get my dog the best care possible! Overall a great experience and my dog had a great time!”

About: I have raised and helped people care for pets since I was a little kid. I love animals of all kinds and love being there for them. I have experience with cats and dogs along with some minimal experience with a few other species. I am a working mother but my husband is very active parent and leaves me to be able to accommodate most all availability. Timing is sometimes an issue dealing with kids and a job but I don't work long hours so I always make sure to make the number of visits we agreed to. However, if very specific timing is an issue we would need to discuss that in advance to see if I could accommodate those exact times. If the pet is staying with me I have a 15 year old son that is home schooled and always home and my husband and my work shifts only overlap by an hour so someone is always around. I have seven children that love to play and help with animals. My older children very frequently accompany and help with any pet requests cause they love meeting new animals. All of my children have been raised around animals of all shapes sizes and kinds. I have a large house including a large fenced in yard. I live within walking distance of several parks. I have a dog and two cats all very friendly towards other animals. I am currently working but my husband and my schedule only overlap by an hour and I have a 15 year old son that is home schooled so someone is always at my house. I don't work horribly long hours so I am usually always available in the morning and night or evening hours I have a fenced in yard large home and two dogs to play with your fur baby. In your home I always make sure to send very detailed rover cards and read over any instruction given at the beginning of each visit so I do not miss a thing.

About: I love animals and spoiling them is my game! I have 3 spoiled dogs. I have had my own personal animals for as long as I can remember. Each pet I look after is treated as my own. I grew up on a farm and we took in rescues of any kind. I have been taking care of puppies and kittens on bottles to seniors with shots/meds at times my whole life. Each pet I look after is treated as my own. I'm working part-time at home. I have time for play, walks, and maybe just a fun ride for a pup cup. I have a small fenced in yard for the dogs. I have 3 friendly dogs, 2 small (8 lbs) /1 med (25 lbs). I have crates of different sizes, harnesses and leads, and collars if needed.

“This was the first time our puppy was away from us and staying with someone else. Jessica proved to be very knowledgeable about animal behaviors to just let our pup do her own thing and give her space. Jessica was very accommodating with our drop off and pick up times. Her home was welcoming and conducive to pets. I highly recommend her!”

“We live in VA but need a place for our dog to stay for the day in PA while we picked up my daughter at camp. Kristina was very flexible with some time changes since we were driving all day and Benson was well taken care of while we were at camp. We would definitely use her again if in the area.”

Jessica B.

“My boy had a fantastic time! Josie responded quickly and was very helpful. They made sure to ask the important questions to make sure that they were giving the best care possible.”

About: There's nothing more wonderful than the love of a dog! I had previously primarily used Rover to find quality sitters and now my schedule is allowing me to return the favor. I'm a nurse and currently working on my Doctorate, so much of this time during this period in my schooling is spent studying from home, allowing me a very flexible schedule. From experiences seeking out sitters for my own dog, I know it is incredibly important (and sometimes challenging) to find someone trustworthy and reliable when life gets busy. I grew up with a number of dogs in our house and have translated that love over the last decade into dedicated involvement with foster/rescue organizations. I have experience caring for all dogs, from litters of new puppies to senior dogs and those with special needs. Some dogs I've cared for are experiencing their first taste of a home, and it couldn't be more rewarding to make them feel safe and loved while working on leash skills, potty training, baths, etc. I am happy to accommodate you and your pet's preferences--I understand the importance of routine, consistency, and willingness to accommodate a pup's specific needs My schedule is very flexible during the day allowing for frequent potty breaks, multiple walks, park trips, and plenty of attention/playtime. My senior girl Lilo loves having visitors, and we are happy to welcome another dog into our home!
