“Terri is an awesome lady. Yeti & I think she hung the moon. Yeti & I went over last night & met Terri & her fur team & we left there so excited about our Doggy Day Care time today. Yeti was there early this morning & stayed all day. I am absolutely sure he had a blast with all of them & the new experience. I received pictures of my little man playing & being very adventurous & I received a report on what all he did. It was so awesome & very comforting. He barely made it home before falling asleep. Yeti will be going back to play with Terri, LeRoy, Dex, Gator & Big Red. What a wonderful team. ???”

About: I am a dog trainer for a reputable national company, looking to fill my life with even more dogs! I have 5+ years of experience caring for dogs in my home and carry liability insurance. If you send you dog to stay with me, they will be provided with a fun, structured and safe environment and just may learn something new while here! I am a full time dog trainer that only does board and trains (dogs come to live in my home), so work from home and already have a very structured schedule of potty breaks, walks and training time scheduled throughout my day! Your dog will be cared for like they would be at home! I am very focused on safety with any dog that comes into my home. Dogs are crated at night and when not being supervised. I do have two dogs of my own, both are extremely social, so if your dog is social, they will be allowed play time! If your dog is dog selective or does not like other dogs, I can easily accommodate your pup as well and will provide them with plenty of separate attention without other dogs around. I do structured pack walks once a day, and individual walks for unsocial dogs or owners that would prefer their dog be walked separately from a pack. Boarding client dogs will get a minimum of 4 potty breaks per day in my fenced yard, at least one walk, and fed on their regular schedule per owners instructions.
“Geneva and family did a great job with taking care of Chloey. They were very flexible with the time change I requested and Chloey loved all of their furry family. Would definitely book them again if I am ever in the area.”
About: I am a woman in my late 50's, (a mom and a grandma) who has been taking care of "critters" of all types for over 20 years, between Texas, and my home state of Minnesota. I am basically available all the time since I am retired from my career field, in Nutrition, and do this full-time now. I have done pet sitting, on the side, even while working in my career field, as animals have always been my passion. My place is in the country and very pet friendly. I have a small Chihuahua mix, a standard Dachshund, and a shepherd mix, who are all quite friendly. Your pet can be immersed with mine, or kept in a separate, fenced area; whichever works best for your pet. All can be confined as to provide your fur baby plenty of tlc and attention.
“I have been having our very large German Shepard go to Jennifer’s for doggie daycare for about 5 weeks now. She is very flexible, communicative and shares photos of him with me. She is really great!”

“Chelsea was great with our young german shepherd. We were able to leave her all day without worry, and pick up/drop off was super easy. She was very friendly and we would be happy to have her watch our dog again!”

“Thank you for providing geat DoggieDay Care for Stormy. She was a very happy and relaxed dog when I picked her up. I would recommend Jessica Jay Doggie Day Care for anyone looking for a stable, happy and clean environment for their pet.”

“Mary and Kelley took great care of Fiona...they spend time playing outside with the frisbee, which Fiona loves! We highly recommend them as great dog daycare providers.”

“Today was Daisy's first dog-care experience through Rover.com and she was a happy camper with Nicole and family. She got to run and play a lot and went for a walk, too. Thanks for taking such good care of our "baby"!”

About: What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and attention to detail. As a teacher, I'm used to being responsible, following routines, and caring for others, which carries over into how I care for pets. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs individualized attention. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, including puppies who need consistency and positive reinforcement, as well as senior dogs who may require a slower pace and extra patience. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or pet sitting, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits very well into my routine, especially during the summer when I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so dog walks, playtime, and caring for pets are things I genuinely enjoy. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medication needs, and any special preferences the owner provides. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while respecting the rules and routines they're used to. During walks and visits, I prioritize safety and keep a close eye on each pet's behavior and well-being. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Over 6 years of experience caring for dogs, big, small etc. All services are available. CPR certified and have knowledge when it comes to dog medication. Have experience with puppy and training as well. I am a stay at home mom who is also currently pursing my bachelors degree in criminal justice. Pet care helps with my daily exercise when it comes to walking the dogs. I have a fenced in backyard, there is enough space for them and a park near by to be walked multiple times a day if needed. I do not cage any dogs and allow the dogs on my furniture. I do have a 10 year old, 3 yr old, 2 yr old and a 6 month old home but they get along with all my clients dogs and our own dogs so you will never have to worry about your dog and them crossing paths in a bad way.
