Doggy Day Care Hessel

“Saved my butt when traveling through the region and needed a dog sitter for the day. My Jef was happy and comfortable, and I could tell he had affection for Heather when we left.”

“My pug LOVES spending time at Lauren and Ben’s house playing with all the dogs or just lounging on the floor. When we arrive, he tugs hard on his leash to get inside. It’s wonderful to know that when he’s away from home, he’s safe and happy in their care.”

About: I am a huge animal lover and have had many pets all of my life. My dogs are not just pets but members of the family. I have had many dogs over the years ranging from cockapoo’s, terriers, Westies, a German Shepherd and yellow Labs. I have also had 5 cats. My current dog and cat are best friends! I care for many friends and neighbor dogs and have play dates on a daily basis. Dogs are always on the guest list for dinner parties or holiday gatherings and have gifts under the tree. If I had a bigger yard, I’d have a dozen. I would love to meet and spoil your dog while you were away. I will treat them like my own and we will have a great time together. After retiring from my long term job, I became a caregiver for family members. I enjoy walking so thought this would be a perfect fit for getting more exercise and fill my love of having multiple dogs. I have availability in between caring for people and would love to take your dog for a walk. I will care for your pets as my own in your home and a walk. If there is any special requests or instructions, I will happily follow.

“I didn’t expect to need someone to watch our dogs for the day but they ended up having a little vacation of their own! Thank you sooo much! They were both happy when we picked up and we would plan a trip this way just so they could have a fun day with David again. While we had our own little vacation both our dogs did as well.”

About: A pet lover here! We always had dogs and cats growing up and that’s how I developed my love for animals. I also used to take care of my own pets and petsit for my friends. I will provide your fur baby with a warm and welcoming home and offer plenty of exercise and playtime. I am currently a stay at home mom taking care of two kids with one of them being at school and the other home most days which allows me to offer proper care to your pet. We have a fenced backyard and a park nearby as well as a spacious house. Your pet will have unrestricted use of the downstairs area and a separate room for sleeping.

“Great and easy experience dropping our high maintenance baby off with Christina for a few hours so we could go to a party in town. She was very chill and easy to correspond with. He slept the whole way home so obviously had a good visit with her. Thank you, Christina!”

About: Currently being a stay at home mother, my hours are very flexible! Growing up with cats and dogs, my kiddos and I are currently lacking the fun presence of furry friends! Although my apartment is not the biggest, allowing only one dog at a time allows all of my attention to be focused. If pets are to stay overnight you can expect daily walks, trips to dog parks and most likely a bath if we get too ambitious. I am an adventurous person that believes dogs have individual personalities and unique characteristics that should be embraced and loved. Allowing pets to cuddle up on the couch MAY be negotiated because I am a sucker for puppy eyes. I am currently a stay at home with my three kiddos. I home school, so including a dog in the mix is so much fun for us! We often go on walks and trips to the park. I have a fenced yard, doggie door for easy outside access and loving, gentle kids to keep your animals company with lots of love and play.

“We brought our dog Ghost (13 years old) for a trail day of daycare with Lindsey before a long overnight stay with her, which we thought was a great suggestion to get her comfortable there. Lindsey met us at the curb for pickup and drop-off, which was so nice, especially with little kids in the car. Ghost got a long walk, a homemade pupsicle, and lots of care and attention. Lindsey sent updates and great pictures and videos throughout the day! Ghost has a great time!”

“Thank you so much for taking care of Diesel while we were out for the day! They have a nice backyard for him to stay in :)”

“Sheila accepted a last minute request for doggy day care and hosted my dog over. She is understanding of dogs behavior and needs. I knew my dog was in good hands and will return.”

Johanna R.

“Jen was great! We dropped Cooper off for the day and felt very comfortable leaving, knowing he was in great hands! Her two dogs were very sweet and were great companions for Cooper during his day there. When we picked Cooper up it was obvious he had a great day and was well taken care of. We would definitely bring Cooper back again when we are in the area.”

“Just visiting the area and super grateful to have found Jestina so I could attend an event. She loved my energetic boxer mix as if she were her own. I appreciated the updates, pix and video, and also the warm interest she took in my own life too! (Sometimes the dogs get all the attention!) Highly recommend and will use again when in town! Thank you, Jestina!”

Jessica H.

“Tiffany was very flexible with our timeline ... for daughter's wedding. Appreciate her taking good care of our little Sherlock!”

Bob H.

“Thank you Emily for watching Aspen on such short notice! He looks like he had the best day romping around with your dogs!”

Andrea L.

“Ellen was such a great sitter! I needed a Rover sitter last minute and she was able to help. She is very kind and communicative and I immediately felt comfortable leaving Grayson with her. She provided photo updates and reassured me he was fitting in well with her pups! I’ll definitely be a repeat customer! (Oh and she sent Grayson home with a stash of really good treats which he promptly reminded me of when we got home - thanks, Ellen!)”

Bridget Q.

“Bernadette was wonderful with my rescue puppy Isabel!! It was her first time being left with someone, and I felt calm and confident knowing she was in Bernadette’s care. Bernadette clearly knows so much about animals and was very kind, understanding, and knowledgeable about Isabel’s communication and needs. I highly recommend Bernadette!!”

About: I’ve had pets in my life since childhood, growing up on a farm with dogs, cats, and horses. Caring for pets is second nature to me. Since moving to the U. S. 20 years ago, I’ve looked after friends and neighbors’ dogs, including diabetic and senior pups that need extra love and attention. I treat every dog like family, with patience, kindness, and genuine care. I’m a UCLA nursing student currently doing clinical hours only three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexible time throughout the day. That means I’m able to give your pet lots of attention, playtime, and long walks. Whether it’s daily check-ins or longer stays, I can easily fit pet care into my schedule and make sure your pup feels loved and cared for. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine so they stay comfortable and stress-free. In my home, I have a fenced yard and a beautiful neighborhood for walks. I also stick closely to their usual schedule. No matter the place, your pet gets consistent, loving care.

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life. I am an only child, so I grew up imagining my cats and dogs were my siblings. In adulthood, I have taken care of my own pets for the past 15 years. I am never without a small brood of animals. If you ever saw me walking my dogs, you’d notice a few felines traipsing behind us. My cats simply refuse to be excluded from any adventures. My love for animals has now extended into rescuing and fostering various types of different creatures. While attending college in Brooklyn, New York, I found and rescued a former fighting pitbull from horrible circumstances. He was blessed to be adopted by a couple of guys in a fraternity on Long Island, and they gave him a forever home. Most recently, I rescued and raised an orphaned Western Grey Squirrel. I got to play mama to this woodland creature for almost a year, before releasing her back into the wild as a fully self-sufficient adult. I also had Chinchillas for a short time. I genuinely enjoy the company of all furry and feathered friends. Animals of all kind are welcome in my home.

About: I previously worked for a doggy daycare and boarding facility. I absolutely love dogs and have wonderful relationship with them. I now have roughly 3 years experience watching dogs all day long and have a great grasp on doggy language. I understand animals very well and have had plenty of experience with cats raising my own kitten for 16 years now. Dogs respond very well to me and my relationship with animals is one of my strongest assets. I am extremely reliable and hard working. I will do whatever it takes and go above and beyond what is expected of me. There is no chore too small or too big. I am responsible and respectful and have great communication skills. I am great at multi-tasking and i am extremely efficient. I am most available early mornings before 10am and evenings after 7:30pm and I’m always free on Friday! No Saturdays. Thanks!

Skilled in feeding, walking, maintaining routines, and providing a safe and loving environment for pets. I am stay home mom, flexible schedule to meet your dogs need.
