Doggy Day Care in Gertrude

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and bathe their pets, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including energetic puppies and sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m attentive, dependable, and happy to stick to your pet’s routine so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I love making time to give animals attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m flexible with drop-ins, walks, and sitting, and I do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal schedule so things feel familiar and stress-free. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to learn their routine, needs, and personality so they feel secure and cared for. I’m attentive during walks, careful with doors and leashes, and respectful of your home and space. I follow feeding instructions closely, keep water fresh, and make sure pets get plenty of love, play, and supervision while in my care.

“We’ve been taking our puppy to Aliesha for a few weeks now and it’s been absolutely amazing. Our pup has very high anxiety and struggles in big daycares. Once we found Aliesha so much of our own stress has been relieved knowing Bruno is so happy at her place and his overall happiness has greatly increased. She provides enrichment activities, lots of yard playtime and even takes him to the nearby creek! I’m so grateful for her kindness to Bruno and for supporting him so well. HIGHLY recommend her for daycare!”

About: I’ve had dogs of all ages and sizes in my life since childhood. I’ve trained several dogs and am very patient and loving to all. I’m currently retired and can work with just about any schedule. Please contact me directly to arrange a time that works best for your pup. I have a fully fenced back yard and currently no animals of my own. Summer I spend most my time on my deck and in my garden. Your pup is welcome to join me. I have recently became a grandma and occasionally am a babysitter. Your pup must be loving towards toddlers to join us unless it’s a short stay that my babies won’t be joining. Contact me for additional scheduling. Thanks for understanding. Besides a few trips to the store or an occasional appointment I am home pretty much 24/7 so I’ll become your pups new bestie 😁 I have a fully fenced backyard. Because we have so many bunnies in our area when we build our fence we attached chicken wire to the bottom of the fence and buried the end in the dirt. So even the littlest of pups are safe!

“Jeanette is an amazing pet sitter. She was flexible and communicated actively. She took care of my furry son, making sure he felt comfortable and at home in his new city!”

About: Former mental-health professional who is happily shifting my career from mental health & behavioral health counseling to full-time animal care—because honestly, dogs have always been my favorite therapy clients! I fully understand fear, trauma, and behavior at a deep level. For years I have been the go to Foster for local rescues for complex medical and emotional needs dogs. For nearly 15 years I’ve volunteered and fostered with local rescues and shelters, helping many dogs find calm, confidence, and their forever homes. I hold canine CPR & first-aid certification, I have extensive training in dog behavior and positive-reinforcement techniques, and I’m currently studying for my CPDT-KA professional dog trainer certification. When your dog stays with me, they are literally the only guest in my home. They have full run of the house and fully fenced backyard, sleep wherever they feel most secure (many choose right in bed with me), and receive gentle, constant companionship in an ultra-low-stress environment. I work from home, have no children present, no other animals and I am the only person in my home. My fully fenced, spacious backyard gives them plenty of room to zoom, play, or just sunbathe while I’m never more than a room away. Canine CPR certified and comfortable with injections, fluids, seizure meds, tubes — whatever your dog needs. No kids, no pets, no chaos—just peace and snuggles Your dog lives like family: free roam, couch cuddles, my bed if wanted, constant company, daily yard play, fresh meals, meds, love—never crated or alone.

“Awesome dog sitter. My dog has anxiety issues when left alone and he did wonderful with her! Her dog Rue helped out with the transition time and Buddy had a great time! Will be reserving her in the future.”

“Amanda was super great communicating throughout the process, and Potato was super excited on her second day with her. The photos were lovely, and it made it easier for me to work knowing she was in good hands.”

Kailee K.

“Candi was awesome! She was so patient and understanding with my pups extreme separation anxiety and did really well communicating with me while I was gone. She responded fast and while I needed her last minute, she was able to adjust to fit me in. So thank you Candi! Maya very much appreciates and loves her new toy! Will definitely use her again as well as recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter.”

Kryssa L.

“Jennifer took excellent care of my senior boy! She made every effort to ensure his first stay for day care was as comfortable as possible despite his separation anxiety.”

Kelly G.

“Molly has been amazing to my girl! She hosts her daily for doggy daycare with her crew of dogs and Finley fits right in. Throughout the day, Molly sends pictures to update me & even goes above and beyond by dropping Finley off home on the nights I work late. I am ecstatic that Finley gets to socialize with some furry friends during the day and I don’t have to worry about her while I’m working. I highly recommend Molly as she is passionate in caring for dogs and is very accommodating with her services!”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who knows just how important it is to leave your pup somewhere that feels like home. When I look for a sitter myself, I want peace of mind—knowing my dog is safe, loved, and having a great time. That’s exactly what I offer to you and your dog. My partner and I share our home with our happy, high-energy 2.5-year-old male pup, who we raised from a puppy. He’s super social and always ready to help new dog friends burn off some steam—seriously, he’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of playtime! My partner also grew up breeding miniature English Bull Terriers, so between the two of us, we’ve got years of hands-on experience with all kinds of dogs. When you come to pick up your dog, you won’t have to wonder how it went—you’ll know they were in good hands. Happy, tired, and well-loved—just how it should be. Pet care is built right into my daily life. I work from home, so I'm around all day to give your dog the attention and care they need. I take a midday break to walk my dog 1.5–2 miles, and your pup will be right there with us, getting exercise and fresh air. After work, we go for another walk and spend time playing fetch in the yard. With our fenced yard and dog door, they can enjoy safe outdoor time throughout the day too. Your dog will be an active part of our home life and get plenty of movement, love, and attention from morning to night. 🐶 What you can expect: One-on-one attention: I only host one dog at a time, so your pup gets my full care and focus. Daily walks and outdoor play to keep them active and happy. A dog door to our fenced yard—they can come and go as they please (safely!). A calm, secure, and loving environment where your dog can relax just like they would at home.

“Dani is awesome! I’m so glad we found someone to care for our elderly dog when needed. I love the report card and photos she sends every day!”

Kimberly H.

“I specially went to Kristina based on her dog training knowledge knowing I needed someone with more experience to handle my pup who has a lot of energy and undergoing comprehensive training. Kristina spent so much one on one time with my dog to address her needs and work through some of her behavior concerns. I was updated throughout the day on any progress and given great advice/resources to utilize at home. Highly recommend!”

Jamie E.

“Jennifer is amazing- a total dog whisperer. Our dog is always a bit nervous around new people and in new settings. He took instantly to Jennifer and was much more relaxed at the end of the day when I picked him up. We’ve worked with Jennifer several times now and she’s been responsive, incredibly reliable, and communicative. I’d definitely recommend her to any of my family or friends.”
