Doggy Day Care in Granville

About: Not only did I grow up around dogs (one of my own and many neighbors’ dogs who I helped sit for), but I am also currently a proud dog mom to five medium-to-large dogs who are my entire life, some of whom I’ve raised from 8 weeks all the way through senior-hood. I have fostered over a dozen other dogs in addition to my own of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I have cared for dogs with both medical and behavioral issues as well. I work from home four days a week with minimal meetings and plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I don’t travel for my job. I do have commitments some evenings after 4pm. I have a fenced yard and very friendly dogs who would love to have a playmate! I also have two spare bedrooms to keep dogs separate if they need their own space or some quiet time. I have plenty of dog-safe brain teasers and puzzles to get their brains working as well. I do triathlons in my spare time and love to go for walks/runs with pups too!

“Karina was WONDERFUL! Our dog hasn’t been boarded a lot in her life, and has been nervous when she has, but she was comfortable as soon as we walked into the yard and so calm and happy when we picked her up! Karina was so communicative before and during her stay, and I appreciate how through she was with what to bring and making sure all the dogs in her care are up to date on vaccinations. We are so happy with our stay and will definitely bring our dog back!”

“Sarah is very attentive to my dog! She has made her very welcome and my dog has adjusted very well. I am very glad to have a safe and comfortable place to leave my dog while I am at work. Sarah is wonderful!”

About: Are you tired of leaving your precious pooch in the hands of unreliable dog sitters who end up losing them in a game of hide and seek? Fear not, for I am here to save the day! As a self-proclaimed dog whisperer (or at least a dog babbler), I have a knack for understanding canine language and can decipher even the most cryptic tail wags. Rest assured, your fur baby will be in good hands with me unless they try to challenge me to a game of fetch, in which case all bets are off. Trust me with your dogs, and I promise they'l be treated like royalty! Every day, without fail, my furry friends are a top priority in my routine. From the moment I wake up to the moment I hit the hay, their well-being is at the forefront of my mind. Mornings are dedicated to early walks and playtime to ensure they start the day on the right paw. Throughout the day, I make sure they have plenty of water, food, and cuddles to keep them happy and healthy. Evenings are reserved for winding down with a cozy snuggle session and maybe a movie marathon featuring their favorite dog-themed films. Pet care isn't just a task on my to-do list – it's a way of life that brings me endless joy and fulfillment. Welcome to my pet paradise! When your furry friends stay with me, they become part of the family. My home is equipped with all the comforts and amenities to make them feel right at home, from cozy beds and plenty of toys to a spacious backyard for playtime and potty breaks. I provide personalized care tailored to each pet's needs, whether it's extra belly rubs for the attention seekers or quiet nap time for the more reserved guests. With years of experience and a deep love for animals, I ensure that every pet receives the best care and attention during their stay. Rest assured, when your pets board with me, they'll be in loving hands and treated like royalty until you come back to fetch them.

“Gail and Ginger provided a calm and lovely atmosphere and for Burkley. Dale and I loved the neighbor exercise that Burkley and Ginger took during the day. Looking forward to seeing Gail and Ginger when Ginger is feeling better.”

About: Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here. As a lifelong dog lover and work-from-home professional, I’ve created a cozy, peaceful space where pups can feel right at home while their humans are away. I only host one dog at a time (unlike many petsitters), so your pup will be treated like family and get my full attention (and all the belly rubs they deserve). I specialize in anxious pups who do not like being with other dogs and do not like being alone - I keep my pup clients as close as they like and give them as much attention as they prefer. My husband and I have two children, 8 and 10 years old, who are very gentle and loving with dogs. We treat our guest pups like they were are own while they’re with us! All our doggy guests are welcome to make themselves at home—on the couch, in the sunny spots, wherever they’re happiest, I do not confine them to one room/zone of the house - no pet gates here! I have a large, unfenced backyard with a dog run for zoomies and potty breaks and we love getting out for walks too. I also have experience with senior dogs and administering medications, so if your pup needs a little extra TLC, they’re in good hands. If you’re looking for a quiet, cozy home-away-from-home where your dog will be loved and spoiled, I’d love to be their sitter! Please note: unfortunately we have an allergy in our home to short-haired shedding dogs and can only accept long-haired (hypoallergenic) dogs :) I'm home all day to spend time with your pup and treat them like they were my own! My goal is to make your dog feel like they’re still at home, ensuring they experience joy and companionship until you return. I will send regular updates and photos to reassure you that your furry friend is thriving and enjoying their time. We have a large un-fenced backyard with a run hooked-up for your pup to spend lots of time outside. We also love to take walks down our street and at the local park. If your pup has some leash aggression with other dogs, we can walk them in our large private backyard to ensure they get exercise but without the stress other dogs may cause. If they’re house trained they do not need to be crated unless it’s their preference. In the house, I allow our doggy friends on furniture (unless you specify otherwise) and in all rooms of my home. They will not be separated in a different room or crated, unless you specify otherwise.

“Although it was my pup’s first time & she was super anxious, Allison was very patient with her & made her feel comfortable during her visit. She sends frequent updates & is very pleasant to talk to. Definitely recommend!”

“Russ and Janet were delightful! They took very good care of Jack. And, they were so hospitable I felt like we had made new friends. The conversation was very nice 😊”

“Thank you so much for your understanding and care. She had such a great time and slept all the way home. Wish you lived closer because I know Mei would love to visit again. She is so shy and you really became friends fast. You are the best!”

“I used Vanessa for the first time on Thanksgiving. She took really good care of little Milo. He can be shy, but he was very comfortable with Vanessa. I will definitely use her again.”

Nancy W.

“This was my first time booking with Vassu. Vassu was wonderful with my dog, Maddie. Maddie enjoyed her large fenced in yard, including discovering her dog door. Maddie was also spoiled with walks, dog toys, and the company of Vassu's dog Ninja. Vassu shared pictures with me through out Maddie's stay. Vassu was professional and made my first time experience with the Rover App a comfortable and enjoyable experience. I will definitely use Vassu in the future. Maddie and I thank Vassu, Ninja, and her family for all the love you gave her while she stayed.”

“Angie was fantastic! I needed a last minute day care sitter for my dog while I had an event in the city near by, and she was able to accommodate my early morning pick ups/late night drop offs, and was even able to do it herself since I didn’t have a vehicle. I got constant updates, and my dog was super happy and excited to see angie each morning! Highly recommend!”

Bree B.

“This was the first time that I used Eric. Eric and his wife were wonderful with Milo. Eric let me know that Milo was doing well and also sent a picture. Milo came home happy and tired. I will definitely use Eric again.”

Nancy W.

“Joseirys was excellent. She was very responsive, kind and took really good care of my dog while I was away. 100% recommend her.”

Hannah H.

“Our first time having MJ take care of our puppy. She loves dogs and gave our dog some quality time while we were away. We will call on her again.”

Joel H.

“Left my baby for a trial stay. While it was hard to leave him literally crying Katie was so great about assuring me things had calmed down a few minutes later and all was good. I appreciated that peace of mind. Katie was also great about super responsive and timely communication. We would definitely reach out again.”

Melissa R.

“Bruno had a wonderful time at Kathleen's beautiful place! The fully-fenced in green space for the dogs was so peaceful I wanted to stay myself. Kathleen has a calming manner which the dogs respond well too. I am contemplating more trips to the Berkshires now that I know Bruno has a safe place where he will be happy and well taken care of while I spend time at Jacob's Pillow or museums. Thank you!”

About: I've loved and cared for dogs for most of my life, and currently have a Chihuahua mix named Chico and a cat named Frankie. I'm a good-hearted and easygoing person excited to spend my free time with some lovable pooches! Chico is a 10-year-old rescue, who loves ice cream and burying himself in blankets. He is a little guy but has tons of energy, and loves to make friends with all people or other dogs. Frankie is a snoozy indoor cat, but still loves playing with Chico when they are together. On all of my bookings, I like to provide constant attention to your pet to ensure they have as much care as possible. With the pets I've met so far, it was always a ton of fun hanging out with them, and I would love to meet some more furry friends and owners soon! I currently work from home full time in the healthcare industry. I am looking to offer sitting services in my free time, but can likely be flexible with my schedule. Safety for all pets is my biggest priority, whether they are my own or yours. I’m open to any information that would make your pets feel more comfortable, and would love to answer any questions during a meet and greet before a service.
