Doggy Day Care in Holden

About: About Ross I recently retired from the Navy and now live with my wife on 9 peaceful acres, just about a mile and a half off Highway 50 near Powell Gardens. It’s just the two of us here—no kids, no pets at the moment, aside from two laid-back turtles. We’ve had dogs in the past and loved every minute, but after moving frequently, we decided to hold off for now. That said, we’d love to show care and attention to your dog as if they were our own. Since I’m fully retired, I’m home throughout the day. I usually go for a daily walk for exercise, which works perfectly if your pup enjoys a good stroll. Our ranch-style home has pet-friendly vinyl floors and tons of open space to explore. While we don’t have a fenced yard, there’s plenty of room to roam—just let me know if your dog needs to stay on a leash and I’ll make sure to accommodate that. A Quick Note About Your Dog Please feel free to share any special needs, preferences, or routines your dog might have. And of course, if you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m genuinely excited to meet your doggo! I am fully retired so I can be home all day. Typically, I exercise with a walk so that would work with the dog as well. I have a large ranch style home with pet friendly vinyl floors. In plenty of land for dogs to run around I do not have a fenced in area so if your dog needs to be on a leash that is fine I just need to know.

“She’s a very nice person and took care of our two month old puppy. Even when she wasn’t going to be in town she took him with her and still kept him and sent cute pics!!”

About: We are a family of animal lovers. We have two cats and two dogs. Our little pup, Obi, is a rescue and our Hunter is a goofy Boxer who loves everyone…even cats. Our dogs love to play with other pups so reach out and say hi! I work from home and my wife homeschools our 3 children. We can love your pets often and feed them 2-3 times a day depending on their needs. We have a fenced in backyard and our pups are trained to ring the bell on the back door to go out any time they want. We can crate your pups in the evening if they are crate trained. John works from home and Rachael homeschools the kids, so we can give your dogs lots of attention and lots of potty breaks. Our kids love to play fetch with the pups, and give lots of love. We have a large, secure, fenced back yard. Our two dogs are crate trained, so we are easily able to keep everyone happy and safe.

“We really appreciate Jadyn watching Bud & Sadie today. Her home and yard was a perfect environment for them and she kept us up-to-date on their activities and sending us pictures. We look forward to them boarding with her next weekend. Pam”

“Alan and his wife were absolutely incredible. They made the whole process easy from the get-go, starting with the meet and greet. My dog Riley can be very anxious around new people, but Alan and his wife were super patient and gained the trust of Riley very quickly. He sent lots of pictures and made me feel very comfortable knowing that Riley was in good, loving hands. I will definitely be leaving Riley with them again!”

About: I grew up surrounded by lots of animals! I love dogs of all sizes and kinds, although I have to say my favorite is pugs! Since moving out of my parents, I only have a kitty (her name is Olive 🫒) and I really miss the happiness a dog brings! I’d love to care for, walk, and love your fur babies as if they were my own!! I go to school a couple hours per week and the rest is online, therefore I am pretty flexible! I work a part time job as well that is no more than 2 days a week. I will care for your pets as my own and follow all safety measures in order to keep them safe, happy, and healthy. I believe our pets are our children and should be loved and taken care of as such!

About: I’ve owned many pets, cats and dogs included. I currently own dogs, and I spend most of my day, everyday, with them. They’re my people. I am 20 years old and currently doing Rover full time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pups. They will receive my undivided attention with playtime and walks included if needed! I have a large home with a large privacy fenced yard. I also have several crates, or you can bring your own if you like. I have ample food in case you forget to bring your own. I will allow your pets to hang out with me wherever I am in the house and take them out frequently for restroom breaks to the backyard . I also have a room designated just for dogs with a TV, dog couch, and toys. I have gates to block stairways for dogs that don’t do well on stairs. Basically I have everything you need to provide a safe, comfortable, and happy environment for pets!

About: I have been around animals my whole life. Our pets have always been our “family” and play a huge role in our lives. I’m the person family comes to when they are going out of town because they know we will love their pets like they do! Experience with bathing, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and clipping as well. I am a stay-at-home Mom so I am available 24/7 and have the ability to walk dogs, let dogs out to potty/play as often as requested or wanted by the pups! Pets have free rein of the whole house and can come in and out as they please. We have a pretty nicely sized fenced in yard and 26 acres to go for a walk on! Pets are allowed in the bed with us and can be on furniture as well.

“Morgan was great! Very accommodating and easy to work with! Our puppy, Peanut, loved her stays there! We will definitely be using her again in the future!!!”

About: I have a variety of experience with animals. I am happy to work with them. They truly are my therapy. I may not be the best people person, but I will become your pets new best friend! From dog shows, 6 years of rescue work, to starting my own pet boarding and sitting service! I have been taking care of and working with animals for much of my life. I have a degree in the medical field. I have attended Canine Care workshops put on by the Missouri Department of Agriculture as well as Sheltering conferences. I am Active and most importantly, your pet will be a part of the pack, treated like one of my own while they stay in my home. Just take it my daughters word for it. She always says that animals just love me, sometimes it really ticks her off! I work from home almost daily, but if I did have a life…there is always someone to help care for your pet until I return and both of my daughters have been helping me foster and find homes for all of my rescues. They both know proper ways to treat animals while they are with us. I do have a very big home with lots of space, enclosed front porch area, big property with acreage, fenced-in areas as well as not. I do rotations If I am unable to supervise pets together or if one isn't so friendly, allowing turns for each dog to be outside, in the home, and even sleep in my bed! I am familiar and trained in giving animal introductions so that your pet may play with others, unless you prefer otherwise.

About: I have raised dogs since as long as I can remember. I truly love having them around and making sure they have the absolute best stay with me.

Thank you for reading through my profile and considering me to take care of your fur babies! I am a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to take care of pets full time. I am here 24/7! We typically do walks around my neighborhood at lunch time, then food and a treat. the rest of the time is usually just all playtime! I have a fur baby and he is the absolute most sweet playful baby ever! He likes to chill around most of the day but he does love to run around outside and inside with everyone. We have enough space for pets to roam around and outdoor space!

About: I’m Yulian but also known as Julie! I’ve always loved dogs, especially when I was young. I was like any typical kid, wishing and hoping my parents would give me a dog. I would dog sit a lot of family friends pets and always felt drawn to them. If I’m at work, my husband is home so don’t worry your pets will never be on their own. I live in an apartment, and have 1 dog but she’s extremely lovable and loves meeting new paw friends! I do also take her on walks and runs in the mornings/sometimes evenings, I would be more than happy to bring your dog along. I treat others pets like if they were my own. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pet(s) somewhere you’re not around, but I’ll make sure to make them feel loved. As mentioned I am a fairly active person, so I would be willing to take your pet on a walk. As well If needed I can administer medication and take them a bath!

About: I have had two dogs my whole life and love animals. I’ve always watched over my friends and family’s loved pets for them, while they were away. They have always loved my services. I take feedback (good and bad) as well so if there is something you want exactly your way, I will try my best to accommodate it! I have a very flexible schedule and would love to meet your pets! I have references, and ratings to go with, as well! I take last minute bookings and if you prefer your animal stay at your house, I do make common visits when you prefer. I take lots of pictures to keep you updated and I’m very communicative. Your loved one is my loved one, and will be treated as if it were my own. I have a completely free schedule. I am home all day and have 100% attention to your loved one. I am consistent with any schedule you already have just let me know! I have a 10 acre yard so they will have lots of room to play and have the most fun they ever could! I’ll be your best pet sitter.

About: I have been around dogs and a variety of other animals my entire life. As stated above I’m a Registered Vet Tech and have no problems caring for all sizes, ages and shapes of dogs. I have no problem administering medication, be it pills or insulin. I’ve worked in clinic, the KCZoo, Boarding Facilities and Shelters. Your Pets will be in great hands with me! I work remotely so would be home with your pet almost always. We take care of our four pups full time and care for my parents seven pups when we do chores out at the farm. With a specialty in large breed dogs- we’ve had Saints, Danes, Wolfies, Mastiffs and I was head volunteer at the Great Pyrenees Rescue of Iowa until we moved to Missouri. We also have experience with the high energy “snow” breeds with a Husky and a Malamute We have a small house in Harrisonville Missouri where I have four dogs of my own. All of which are spayed and friendly with other pets. We require meet and greets prior to any boarding or daycare request to be sure all dogs co-mingle happily :) Keep in mind we have 2 small children (under 3 years old) who are raised to be respectful of all animals, but if your pup is not comfortable with kids this may not be their most comfortable option.

About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life really. Walked, fed them, cuddled them, gone to neighbors or friends homes. I'm ready to sit for you Currently am not working but will be working remote. I have a fenced yard for your fur baby. Can't wait to sit for your pet. I have two dogs at my home. An older Yorkiepoo & chiweenie. I can crate yours or come to your house and let them out.

About: I've always been a pet lover and I've pet-sat for my neighbors and friends for years. I eventually got my little fur baby Roxie, a lhasa Apso with lots of spunk! Coming up on 3 years of cuddles and new adventures my love for these precious creatures grow everyday. Having raised and trained my own pet I am well equipped to handel all your pets needs! I go to school at the University of Central Missouri full-time though I am only 7 minutes from home and always have time during breaks in the day to come back and walk and feed my own pets. I am home for the summer with a completely free schedule! I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my pet Roxie who is a well-trained and non-confrontational Lhasas Apso. She does her own thing and gets along with most dogs. I usually take my dog on three 12-minute walks a day though I can adjust for your dog's needs! Your dog would have another friend to play with if they want to as well!

About: Growing up on a farm in East Tennessee, I was always surrounded by animals of all sorts! I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, poultry, rabbits, and more! I truly love caring for other people's animals and treating them like part of the family. To me, pet sitting is more than just a job—it's an opportunity to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets while their owners are away. I’m currently a stay at home wife after getting married a few months ago! My schedule is very flexible, especially during the day on weekdays. I live in a duplex with an unfenced yard. I have a spare room that can easily fit a crate if needed and a walking trail just a few minutes down the road to get your pup’s energy out if needed!

About: I’ve been an avid animal lover ever since I can remember. Rest assured, you fur-baby is in good hands with me. Animals are my passion; working with them is a bonus! I’m currently a full-time student at UCM, but my availability is pretty open. I do have a part-time job as well, but my schedules are easy to accommodate! In my home, my fur-baby is treated just as a human would be. She’s very well trained, so I don’t use any methods of locking her up when I leave. She is free to roam! I will do what you prefer and what accommodates your lifestyle.
