Doggy Day Care in Gambier

“Tina was as good for me as she was for Tommy! I had a pretty busy, stressful day ahead of me and she took a lot of my problems away by giving me a safe place to leave Tommy where he could play and be kept busy while I got my things taken care of pretty efficiently. Her compassion and kindness will not be forgotten.”

“Wonderful first experience! I greatly appreciated the peace of mind I had leaving our puppy with Caitlin. I received pictures while we were gone, and Luna seemed so happy. I would definitely recommend!”

“Great service. Very accommodating to my changing schedule. Thor enjoyed his visit.”

“My dogs seem to enjoy their time with Jamie, she sends plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day. She works well with my older dog and has been great with scheduling.”

“Jill is very friendly. She sent me a picture to show how lake was doing. Lake had a great time and loved playing with her dog.”

“Brittany was fantastic. Would use her again to watch our two dogs.”

About: Growing up I have always cared for our family pets. Today I have 3 rescue dogs of my own. My pups are apart of my family. I volunteer to transport dogs to a safe homes. Animals of any type depend on their humans to care for them. When their humans can’t be there for some reason they still need that special care and attention. I have always struggled when leaving my dogs to go away. What do I do with them? Who will care for them like I do? I would like to help people to be at ease knowing your pet will be well taken care of in my hands because I understand what it is like to have that worry. I will care for your pet as though they are mine.

“Judith was amazing!!! My dog Pippa has some serious separation anxiety, but somehow she bonded to Judith and was completely fine when I left her. Judith sent me picture updates regularly and really took great care of my baby. When I picked Pippa up she was happy and looked great.”

“Kelsey was amazing! She was flexible with the odd hours that I needed my dog watched and she was so helpful with his behavior issues. I wish I lived in her area because I'd love to use her every time!”

“Emily was great with my puppy. She took care of our dog as we all had to go out for our daughter’s performance. She is prompt & reliable. She wanted to make sure that she knew my little baby. She has two little kids and my puppy love kids. So it was a plus point. And Paris loved her daughter. I will definitely book her again in future. Thank you Emily!!”

“Bill and Mary are a great team that took care of our pup and showed him lots of love. We appreciated a "meet and greet" with their dogs and ours to ensure they got along okay. Our pup was able to play very well with their three dogs. From the way he came home tired, he had an awesome time playing with Bill, Mary and the other dogs.”

“She’s always been great with animals, going so far as to research the most appropriate toys and the most healthy treats/foods. She’s very honest and attentive, and will make sure your pet is well cared for.”

“I can not even begin to describe how amazing cassie has been with my pittie! Most people are terrified to even be around lina, but cassie was amazing with her. 10/10 would reccomend cassie!”

About: My name is Kirsten. I am 35 years old, married with two kids (a 4 year old and an 11 month old), and a full time stay at home mom. I live on the edge of Newark and Granville, near the OSU Newark campus, with easy access to 16. I love spending time outside in our fenced in back yard! I have cared for dogs my whole life! We have an 11year old pug who is extra cuddly and playful even in her old age. We recently lost our other senior dog. Excited to host your pup for a play date or overnight stay! We welcome dogs into our home that are potty trained and friendly with small children and other pets. I am a full time stay at home mom. My open schedule allows for flexible pickup and drop off times that fit your lifestyle and needs. We have a large fenced in yard that allows for plenty of outdoor playtime. We have dog beds and space for a cage if that helps your pup feel safe.

“Took good care of our little 16 year old dog”

“Melissa was wonderful with my puppy. I could not be happier. I would highly recommend her and will use her again.”

“Cindy is an exceptional person, who cares deeply about animals and people. She would make an excellent walker or sitter, due to her sharp attention to detail, and drive to to the best she can.”

“Abby was great with Mookie! As a young puppy Mookie is a handful and I work long hours, Abby and her dogs were fantastic. Mookie came home tired, clean, and happy! Thanks”

“Very caring and kind to all dogs. Will protect them and do what is necessary to keep them safe. Perfect person for watching your dogs!”

About: I have experienced every step of Animal Care; from my first childhood dog birthing a litter of pups, to end-of-life care more recently with my family dog. Let me know what makes your critter happy, and know that your pooch is in loving, warm hands. I have cared for dogs 3/4s of my 35 years on this planet and even moved a dog back acquired internationally off of the streets of Beirut, Lebanon with a previous girlfriend and trained obedience into the street dog, and to be accustomed to a more sedentary American-Style home living. I am currently shifting from a sales career in finance to a tech career, and am spending some quality time with my parents in Appley Valley for a few months outside of Mt. Vernon before I rewire my focus back to an intensive career-oriented work environment. I am holding off on a full-time job and would love to take care of your pet and give them all of my attention and focus whenever you need me, even if it's an emergency. I have no other work engagements currently as I'm taking two months to catch up with my folks while I transition to a new firm. I have a finished basement apartment underneath a 2600 sq ft. ranch, where your animal children are welcome to relax on my furniture and enjoy an acre of wooded land and a 10-minute drive to Bark Park outside of Appley Valley Lake Community. I can travel and my car is dog-friendly if your creature likes to socialize or play at any of the local parks or dog parks. If your pooch needs a Paw-Wash or "the Works" I have a walk-in shower where we can have your puppy smelling "so fresh and so clean" upon returning the critter to your domicile.
