Doggy Day Care in Good Hope

“I totally appreciate you taking in Coco for the day on such a short notice! He seemed happy when I picked him up! He’s a tired pup this evening.”

Joann R.

“Taffy had a good day with Sowmya and her family. They sent us a lot of pictures while she stayed with them. We’ll be taking Taffy to them again.”

“Jessica was a godsend. We needed daycare for my beagle for 2 days and Jessica was able to accommodate. We were able to enjoy Hershey without worrying about our fur baby. Thank u.”

“Sandy is great with my puppy! He is very high energy and I work long shifts but she makes sure he gets plenty of exercise so that he is tired when I pick him up. I am happy to have found her :)”

Cheyenne C.

“My dog came home acting just like usual — a clear sign he was well taken care of. I’ll definitely leave him with you again next time!”

Jung C.

“I am lucky to have had Vasumathy help me with pup-care. The pics and video Vasu sent me Day #1 showed me a happy dog. Day #2 confirmed it. My little guy was making his trademark excited noises from the car as we approached Vasu's house. Care included indoor play with toys, nice long walks, birdwatching from the window, visits upstairs with Vasu's husband, and, of course, meals and treats. TY so much Vasu (and Rajesh) for giving Bodhi such terrific care while I was at work. I felt totally at peace during his stay with you. :)”

“Always great to leave Marshall with Steffany and her family! They send pictures and updates throughout the day and Marshall has a great time with their dog Padme.”

“Wonderful experience for us and for Gus The Wonder Dog. We indicated at booking we would drop him off between 9 and 9:30 am and pick him up between 4 and 4:30 pm. We discovered before we dropped him off the first morning that our group would be eating dinner about 3 miles from the sitter's home. To pick him up at 4:30, return him to the B&B, and then drive back to dinner venue would have added about 15 - 18 miles of driving in somewhat heavy traffic. I asked if we could pick him up after dinner”

“Rosa was very good with my dog missi. She sent me a lot of pictures throughout the day which was wonderful because I was able to know what my dog was up to she also responds very quickly which I thought was amazing. I can tell that my dog had a lot of fun and will definitely be sleeping good tonight.”

About: I speak fluent 'large breed' – from Great Dane drama to Mastiff moodiness, I've been bilingual in Big Dog for decades. My credentials? A lifetime degree from the University of Oversized Paws, currently pursuing my Master's with Gemma, my 100-pound Husky/Akita mix who doubles as my quality control manager. She's basically my co-interviewer – if your pup passes the Gemma Test, they're golden. I get that XL dogs aren't just bigger – they're different. They need someone who understands that a 'small' accident involves industrial-grade cleanup, that counter-surfing is an Olympic sport, and that their idea of a lap dog is... optimistic. My setup? Spacious home with a 6-foot privacy fence (because nobody wants their Saint Bernard becoming the neighborhood's unwanted visitor), plus plenty of indoor space for those inevitable zoomies. Even Rogue, my 13-year-old cat, has made peace with the chaos – she just upgraded to executive suite living upstairs. Bottom line: Your gentle giant won't be treated like a small dog who hit the gym. They'll get the specialized, size-appropriate care they deserve – and the belly rubs that require actual arm strength. Pet care doesn't fit into our routine – it IS our routine. We're basically a 24/7 doggy daycare masquerading as a normal household. I work from home (translation: I'm the treat dispenser with Wi-Fi), and my husband is home full-time (aka Chief Belly Rub Officer and Emergency Ball Thrower). Your pup will have round-the-clock supervision from two certified couch potatoes who've perfected the art of simultaneous laptop typing and ear scratching. We're like helicopter parents, but for dogs – and with better snacks. No 'checking in every few hours' situation here. We're the couple who probably talks to dogs more than humans on most days, and honestly? We're not mad about it. Basically, your dog won't just be staying with us – they'll be joining our very committed, very ridiculous pack where someone's always available for the important stuff: immediate attention when a leaf moves suspiciously, emergency treat distribution, and professional-grade 'who's a good dog?' consultations. Safety first, fun second, existential crisis about how much we love your dog third. Our home operates on the 'Fort Knox meets Disneyland' principle – maximum security with maximum fun. That 6-foot privacy fence isn't just for show; it's our version of a velvet rope at an exclusive club where only the goodest boys and girls get VIP access. House rules are simple: gates stay locked (we're not running a doggy escape room), fresh water is always available (hydration is key to optimal zoomies), and Gemma serves as our live-in safety inspector – she's got a PhD in 'Is This New Friend Sketchy?' For boarding guests, sleeping arrangements include premium couch real estate or our actual bed (because let's be honest, you're not keeping a Great Pyrenees on a dog bed). Climate-controlled comfort year-round, with immediate access to emergency cuddles and 3 AM 'did you hear that?' investigations. We're basically helicopter parents who've extended our neuroses to include your dog. Every door gets double-checked, every interaction gets supervised, and yes, we absolutely will send you way too many photos of your pup doing absolutely nothing newsworthy. Think of us as your dog's personal secret service – vigilant, dedicated, and probably overthinking everything.

“Lisandra was fantastic! She asked good questions to help understand Riley's routine and personality. Riley had the best day with her and her doggo!”

About: We are a family of pet lovers. We have three cats and a dog. I've been responsible for caring for pets since I was little and have always really enjoyed the company of animals and getting to know each individual personality. During my teens and early 20's I did a lot of house and pet sitting for friends and family who have described me as very responsible, caring, reliable and trustworthy. I am a photographer and work from home. Over weekends and in the evening my wife is also available to assists with taking care of your fur baby/babies. My latest available pick-up/drop-off time is between 7-8PM. I have a small fenced yard and a large home. Our home has three cats and one dog. We also have a sun room where "private dining" is an option for your pet, if needed.

“Sandra is amazing! My puppy loved staying with her and her sons. Sandra was flexible with timing and provided updates and pictures throughout the day. We’ll definitely be using her whenever we visit the area!”

“Zuri had a wonderful time with Kayla! She sent lots of pictures and followed our instructions for the day. I will definitely be booking her again next time we need someone to take care of our pup.”

“Best Ever!!! Super flexible with drop off and pick up. She worked around my families chaotic and rapidly changing schedule. Even better were the doggy updates and photos throughout the day. Great person, great sitter, will absolutely use again if rolling through the area”

About: I am an Occupational Therapist currently working flexible part-time hours and am looking to make some new fur-baby friends! With the passing of our two 14 year old springer spaniels, my husband and I are finding ourselves with lots of time, energy, and love to give to our canine and feline neighbors. While our hearts are not ready to take on a new family member, we are still very much inclined toward the role of pet care (i.e., taking walks, energetic play, distance walking, etc.) Through the years, we have enjoyed raising and loving dogs, cats, guinea pigs, lizards, hamsters, ducks, turtles, and fish along the way. I have never met a dog or cat that I didn't love being around, and I'm sure your pet will be no exception! Animals really are man's best friends, and I would love to have the opportunity to give some special attention to your fur baby while you are away! I understand that care of your pet is a sacred charge. I am very willing to accommodate your pet's special needs. I would 100% be willing to meet with you prior to services to ensure that I am the right fit for your pet! :) I know all too well the stress associated with leaving your pet, whether it be for just a few hours or for an entire week. Rest assured that your pet will be in loving hands in my care. My husband and I work part-time and/or from home and would be available most of the day to take care of and be companions to your pet(s). We have a backyard that is not fenced, but we can leash walk your dog multiple times a day for toileting and exercise. We also have long leash tie-ups longer outdoor time. We have a crate in our family room that can provide your dog some calming quiet time if you choose. For cats, we have a sun room which gets plenty of light and has a variety of cat activities, including a 6-foot cat tree.

“She took great care of my pup, and she sent me a photo to give me an update. She took me on short notice and im thankful! I would definitely recommend!”

About: My husband and I make a great team when it comes to your furry friends . Your pup isn’t just boarded; they become part of our home. With cozy spaces, plenty of playtime, and individualized attention, we ensure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed. I follow your dog’s schedule as closely as possible—whether it’s meal times, walks, or bedtime rituals—so they feel right at home. Unlike standard sitters, I incorporate mental stimulation, obedience reinforcement, and socialization into their stay, keeping them engaged and well-behaved. Pet care is a big part of my daily and weekly routine. It probably includes but not limited to : Daily Routine: • Morning: Feeding, potty breaks, walks, and light training or playtime. • Midday: Client check-ins, training sessions, or socialization activities for boarding dogs. • Afternoon: More exercise, enrichment, and cleaning up (kennels, play areas). • Evening: Dinner, relaxation, last potty breaks, and bedtime routine. Weekly Routine: • Grooming & Maintenance: Bathing, brushing, and nail trimming. • Deep Cleaning: Washing bedding, sanitizing play areas, and refreshing supplies. • Client Management: Updating bookings, sending reports or photos to pet parents, and restocking essentials like treats and poop bags. The top three things I provide are : safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. These are top priorities when caring for pets, in my home. Here’s how I ensure every dog feels secure, loved, and well-cared for: 1. Safety First • Secure Spaces: My home is dog-proofed with fenced play areas and crate options for safe rest. • Supervised Play: I monitor all interactions to prevent rough play or stress. 2. Building Trust • Consistent Routine: Dogs thrive on routine, so I maintain set feeding, potty, and exercise schedules. • Positive Reinforcement: I use rewards, praise, and patience to make each dog feel comfortable. • Regular Updates: I send owners pictures and updates to keep them reassured. 3. A Comfortable, Enriching Environment • Cozy & Clean Spaces: Whether at my home or a client’s, I ensure dogs have clean, comfy resting areas. • Mental & Physical Stimulation: I incorporate training, interactive toys, and daily exercise to keep dogs happy. Dogs MUST be leash trained and crate trained as I use crates as a precautionary measure and/or bedtime purposes .No Exceptions!!!!
