Doggy Day Care in Holden

“I'm always a little nervous leaving my boy Blu with new people since he can be a little shy, but I could tell he had a great time hanging out at Melissa's for the afternoon. I received updates and pics of him happily running around her yard with her dog, and making himself maybe a little too comfortable on her sofa. I would not hesitate to entrust her with his care in the future. Highly recommend.”

“Think how much more your dog will lime you when you send them to doggy paradise they’ll come back happy joyful, and more compliant with training because they had all their needs met best place ever !!!”

“Michael and his family are wonderful! Constantly sending photos and updates of my dog throughout his stay! My dog was a bit nervous in the beginning but Michael made sure he was comfortable and able to have lots of fun with other dogs and his kids! Will continue to send teddy here :)”

“Our pup has enjoyed spending days with Dawn and it is especially nice for us to have a place where she can comfortably interact with young children, as we don’t have that opportunity to offer her at home. Dawn also has a great fenced in backyard with lots of interesting things to smell and ways to run around and work off energy, which is great for both our pup and for us when we pick her up and know that she’s had a fun filled active day!”

“Meli took such great care of my fur baby! From the moment I was in touch with Meli, I felt safe and excited about the opportunity to have Ollie spend the day with her and her pup Nina. She was warm and assuring, and very quick to respond to messages! When I met Meli in person to drop Ollie off, I was happy to find such a friendly and kind person in real life, too! She sent me photos and updates throughout the 6 hours that Ollie was with her for “day care” (without me even needing to ask!) and I could tell he was having fun and being taken care of so well! I would absolutely recommend Meli and would love to have Ollie stay with her again if we need a sitter in Bloomington. Thanks Meli! ?”

“We found ourselves in Mexico with no one to watch our dog on our return day. We could have called a few different friends to let our dog out a few times but no one could take him from 8:30am-9:30pm. We were hesitant to book someone we’d never met before but finally just did it. What an incredible experience. Received photos and videos all day. Thank you SO much for treating Porter like one of your own!”

“Thanks again, Chelsea!”

“Kaya had an amazing day with Emily and Matt! Emily and Matt were really great, communicative and super accommodating - it was only for a day but we received picture updates every few hours showing how much fun our pup was having! Lovely home, super clean with a nice backyard!”

About: My husband and I have cared for and trained our own dogs since we were kids, sometimes as many as 4 dogs at once. Our beloved dogs Blue & Holly (both weimaraners) died two and one year ago and we find ourselves missing them both so much. We would love to host or walk your dog and give them the same love and attention we gave our Blue & Holly. We currently have 10 acres of land with numerous dog-friendly trails for lots of walking, sniffing, and exercise! Axel works from home and our family is also home most of the day and our boys are homeschooled so we have flexible schedules during school hours, most times after 8am. We may be able to be more flexible, so please let us know! For visits/walking: We are able to fit in whatever your pup needs. From walks (including small amount of training, if desired) to playing in your house or yard, to simple affection. Depending on the time or scenario, we may be able to go running with your pooch a few times a week. We love dogs! We have a large backyard and also go on at least two long dog walks per day. Dogs can snuggle in the house or play in the backyard throughout the day. We have 5 kids who have experience with large dogs and are eager to meet your pup. Please, only dogs that are good with children and other dogs.

About: Hello! Thank you for viewing my profile. With a lifelong passion for animals, I enjoy nurturing dogs and caring for their needs. My experience includes senior dogs and behavior observation to ensure your dog feels safe. I am eager to provide a comfortable and caring home for your beloved pup! 🐾 I work from home on the weekdays, so I’m able to remain attentive for your doggo throughout the day. If your dog sticks to a routine just let me know and I will be happy to make them feel at home. I live in a large multi room apartment with a grassy (unfenced) back yard. There are no other pets in the home so my attention will be focused on your fur baby. My situation is good for dogs who prefer a relaxed environment. There is a one floor walk up leading to my home, so I just ask that your dog is comfortable with stairs (or small enough to be carried).

“Melanie watched my 4 year old Australian Shepherd, Sadie on a moment notice. Her friendly snd inviting personality made it easy to trust her care. She gave us picture and text updates on Sadie so we knew she was doing just fine. I would highly recommend to a friend and I plan to use Melanie in the future for dog sitting. Thank you so much for all that you do!”

“Swetha was fast to communicate with and drop off and pick up was easy. Myrtle had SO much fun with Rusty!! She came home and was toast from playing so much. Highly recommend Swetha for wonderful care of your pup!”

About: Since I was 4, I've been caring for all kinds of animals, especially dogs. At one time as a kid, we had 4 Great Danes! I've had mixed breeds and purebreds, athletes and couch potatoes, puppies, seniors, and special needs. I've also trained them although I've never been certified. Something common that friends say after their dog has spent a week or more with me is "how come my dog is now better behaved?" Your neighborhood or mine, the local park, the dog park, or on dog friendly trails. One dog or many. Having had all kinds of pets, including a 23 year old cat who required daily fluids and Miralax because of kidney failure and old cat dry colon, a dog that suffered seizures, and others. I even had a big 7 pound black and white adult rabbit that I found dumped in the state forest; she was litter box trained, had the run of the house, used the big dog crate as her private home, and would take turns playing chasing the 93 pound dog. I've just always seemed to understand them and vice versa. I even enjoy caring for dogs that are hyper! Just let me know first in case I've got low energy dogs with me. I work remotely, set my schedule, and nothing makes me happier that being with and doing things with dogs. Dog park? Trails? Sure, if your beast is up for it. Play dates? Why not! Up for playing with my dog who is vaccinated for probably everything or wants to chase and be chased? Not a problem. Special needs or a senior? Just let me know. I have a fenced yard and a happy, boisterous 5 year old, 57 pound dog who adjusts his play style to what other dogs like. If he's too much for your dog, he takes correction from them, no problem, or I can put them in different places. He even lets little dogs beat him up without protest and if your dog likes rough play, he'll accomodate. He's happy and loves people and dogs. He has zero resource guarding issues; if your's does, he'll give them space.

About: With over a year of hands-on dog care experience, I keep pups happy, healthy, and active. I share my home with a relaxed older lab and a high-energy Australian Shepherd I’ve been training, so I understand the needs of active dogs. We offer multiple daily walks, plenty of playtime, and constant supervision. My partner, who has extensive dog-handling experience, works alongside me — ensuring your dog is never left alone and always in good hands. Offering flexible dog walking hours to fit your schedule—morning, afternoon, and evening walks available! I work part time and it’s my side job. But I walk my dogs a few times a day! I offer boarding in my home and run this portion with my partner to ensure the dogs needs are met and supervision is always provided . I have a fenced in yard. Two friendly dogs at home. We do four walks a day and on my days off we do a few extra

About: I've been around dogs my entire life but have owned my own dog for the past 4 years. I am constantly watching my friend's dogs while they are away and know how important it is to have someone to trust and provide a loving and caring home away from home for your pet while you are away! I currently work from home full-time, so I'll have plenty of time to walk and play with your pup! I have a highly energetic dog, so we take several walks during the day and then I take her to nearby parks with trails after work. I'm available for boarding during the week and on weekends. I have a medium sized fenced in yard and a very sweet dog to keep your fir baby company! My dog has free reign of the house and is allowed on the furniture and sleeps in my bed but can also crate your dog if needed.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl around my neighborhood and absolutely love meeting new doggies to hang out with. I have a lot of flexibility during the week to help you with your dogs – I work remote and would love to help out whenever I can I just moved to St Pete from Massachusetts and I miss my family’s golden doodle Finn very much. I will always make sure your pets are safe and happy.
