Doggy Day Care Harbor Gateway

“B’ha was cared for while meeting new furry friends. I received (and adored) pictures of her walking and playing through all her stages of arrival, hesitation, acceptance and play. I recommend Alice as a loving doggy person.”

About: Experience with older dogs and their needs, sometimes they may need extra help, For example. When my families geriatric dog No longer could climb the stairs we would have to carry her. I learned about diet changes as she got older. Since I am retired, I have time to share and spend with your pet, Snacks, Walks and playtime. They will have my full attention daily. I create a safe, Clean and Caring environment, home away from home for your pet, With access to their water, food and toys I'll make sure they're comfortable with their bedding and or cage.

About: I was a dog owner for 15 years; she passed away about 3 years ago. Her beds are so big and comfy I didn't want to throw them away. I had proclaimed this to be a forever dog home! Since then, I began dog sitting for friends from my church. I knew if a dog came over, I would want it to be comfortable. I enjoy learning each dog's personality and needs because all dogs are different. My friend's dog doesn't like to be pet but loves to sit next to me. I learned that different dogs have different needs and wants. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs through walks, companionship, and learning each dog's unique personality and needs. Some dogs love affection while others prefer quiet company, and I respect and adjust to what makes each dog most comfortable. Dog sitting allows me to provide attentive, loving care while giving dogs a calm and supportive environment. I am working but I make my own schedule. I would take care of your baby just like my own, We would go for a walk at least twice a day. Ill feed once or twice a day, depending on instructions. My mom {Frances} lives right next door, and she is my emergency contact. She loves dogs too. She is a great help if I need to step out for a minute. I do enjoy seeing the dog happy and comfortable, the rest of the day will consist of making that happen. Your pet will get a one on one experience. I will care your pet just like I would do my own. Again, a home away from home. When I wake up in the morning the first thing I do is take my fur buddy outside. Next is breakfast and play time if it's preferred. I look for direction from the owner on specific things to know and look for to make my fur buddy comfortable. Safety is #1. Every decision is made with safety first in mind. Second is satisfaction for the pet and the owner.

About: I’m a dog mom of 8 years, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Over the years I’ve helped family and friends with their pets—everything from energetic puppies and senior dogs to rabbits, cats, and even goats! I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just keeping them company, your pet will get tons of love, attention, and patience while they’re with me. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I work from home and have plenty of flexibility. I get regular breaks every two hours and a full hour for lunch, which gives me lots of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day. I also don’t go out much, so I’m home almost all day—meaning your pet will have constant company, attention, and a calm, comfortable environment. Your pet won’t ever feel lonely here! In my home, your pet will have plenty of comfort and space. I live in a spacious home with room for your pet to settle in and feel relaxed.

My goal is to make their stay feel safe, familiar, and stress-free.

“Frankie had a blast w Ellaine and her dogs that also stayed with her this Thanksgiving. Frankie definitely was tired when she got home, which is great because Frankie has a ton of energy. I appreciate Ellaine because her and her boyfriend make sure that they only put so many dogs together at once making sure to not overload any dog w too much attention. I highly recommend her services and have been a repeat customer cause I trust my puppy w her. ”

“This was his very first time at an all-day daycare, and I was honestly pretty nervous leaving him. From the start, Shardae made everything feel so easy and reassuring. She sent thoughtful updates and photos throughout the day, and every single one showed a happy, relaxed pup who was clearly being cared for and loved. Seeing him playing and comfortable truly put my mind at ease. All I ever want is for my dog to feel safe, happy, and loved, and that is exactly what Shardae provided. Total success. I would absolutely trust her again and recommend her to anyone looking.”

About: There is always someone home, so even if I'm out, your dog will always have someone around. We're naturals at communicating with animals, which helps when a dog is nervous & unsure. This includes verbal communication & body language. We have decades of experience with animals, given thousands of dog walks & find dogs to be very therapeutic. We have a yard for exercise & play. If your dog(s) don't get along with my pets, there's plenty of room to keep them separate. We often have other other dogs around, such as our new housemate's dog, and those of friends and family who hang out here. Your dog will be around other dogs, and will not be bored. We require meet and greets to make sure your dog will get along, not just with our dog(s) but with any others who might come in for daycare and play dates. Dogs are our life. We're always taking care of an animal in some way. In addition to exercising & boarding, we also handle vet visits. Our home is on a quiet cul de sac with lots of trees. We have a fenced yard, extra rooms, & a large vehicle for your pet's comfort.
