Doggy Day Care in Home Gardens

About: I have been around dogs my whole life — for as long as I can remember, there has always been a dog by my side. Over the past 20+ years I have developed a deep understanding of dog behavior, body language, and what it takes to make a pup feel safe and loved in a new environment. Beyond my own dogs, I have informally cared for the pets of friends and family many times, so I know how to handle dogs with different personalities and energy levels. Right now I share my home with my own 5-year-old male goldendoodle, so your dog will always have a friendly, socialized companion to play with. What truly sets me apart is my availability and home setup. I do not work outside the home, which means I am here with the dogs all day — no long hours alone, no anxious waiting. We have a large backyard where dogs can run, explore, and burn off energy freely. I also have a 2-year-old son at home, so I only welcome dogs that are comfortable around young children, and I take that responsibility seriously for everyone's safety. If you are looking for a sitter who treats your dog like family and is genuinely home all day to give them attention, walks, and playtime — you found the right place. I don't work outside the home, I'm here around the clock, seven days a week. Morning walks, midday playtime in the big backyard, afternoon couch cuddles — I'm always present. My goldendoodle keeps us on a consistent daily routine, which visiting dogs love. My home is a safe, welcoming space for dogs. We have a large fully fenced backyard where dogs can run and play freely without any worry. Inside, my goldendoodle sets a calm, friendly tone that helps visiting dogs feel at ease quickly. I supervise all dog interactions closely, especially since I have a 2-year-old at home — safety for both the kids and the dogs is always my top priority. Dogs are never left alone for long periods, and I make sure every pup has their own space to relax and decompress when they need it. I always ask owners upfront about their dog's routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any quirks so I can keep things as consistent as possible. I treat every dog the way I'd want my own to be treated — with patience, attention, and a whole lot of love.

“I'm Very happy and satisfied with the care Rozi provided for me and my dog, Honey. He communicates throughly, payiny attention to details and very punctual. I would highly recommend Rozi to anyone needing a sitter.”

“I admit to being a nervous fur Momma. My babies not only loved Kayci, but her doggies and mine play very well together. We searched for 2 years for a replacement to our previous (who rudely moved to Florida. The nerve!) sitter. We were starting to thing our old sitter was a unicorn. Then we found Kayci! We had our first date day in 2 years. I didn't worry once! She's sweet, caring and very attentive. We found another unicorn 🦄”

“​David did an absolutely fantastic job watching our Golden Retriever, Bailey! From start to finish, he was incredibly flexible and easy to work with, which made the whole experience completely stress-free. ​We received tons of great pictures and videos, so we never had to wonder how Bailey was doing. It was so clear that Bailey was getting plenty of love, attention, and—most importantly—plenty of belly rubs! ​David genuinely cared for our pup like his own. We will definitely be booking with him again!”

“**Review for Shaelynn on Rover.com** We’ve had the pleasure of having Shaelynn as our dog sitter several times, and she continues to exceed our expectations every single time! From the moment we drop off our fur baby, it’s clear that he’s in great hands. He always seems so happy and content when we arrive to pick him up, and the pictures and videos Shaelynn sends throughout the day truly show just how much fun he’s having. Shaelynn is fantastic at keeping us updated with regular communication, ensuring we know exactly how our pup is doing. Her thoughtful updates, including pictures and videos, give us peace of mind while we’re away. We are so grateful for her care and dedication, and it’s clear that she genuinely loves animals. Highly recommend Shaelynn to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”

“I can tell that he really loves dogs. The first day that mu dog stayed with him, he didn't want to leave and that let me know that he was happy and felt safe to be there. Daily I received a report on the things my dog was doing and pictures. I most definitely will be sending my dog back to stay a few days out of the week while I work.”

“River went to daycare with Jeremy for 3 days. She was very happy to be back with him each morning and came home in the evenings happy and tired from plenty of play. We got plenty of updates and photos and were very happy with the care River received. We will definitely be using Jeremy's daycare in the future.”

About: What sets me apart is my combination of professional training experience and genuine love for animals. With 11 years of pet sitting and 4 years as an assistant dog trainer, I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and dogs with unique needs. I understand pet behavior, can reinforce training, and always strive to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m a teacher, which means I have weekends, holidays, school breaks, and summers off, giving me plenty of flexibility for pet sitting. During the school year, I get home early and have ample time for evening visits, walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and overnight care. I enjoy spending my free time with animals, so caring for pets never feels like work. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for every pet in my care. I live in an apartment with a large, fully fenced patio that includes turf and cement, giving dogs a secure outdoor space for potty breaks, fresh air, and supervised play. I also have an extremely friendly and well-socialized dog who enjoys having canine companions and has experience living with foster dogs of all ages and personalities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions.

“Naydamar was super friendly and very patient with my dog. He is super shy around new people and she took her time with him. She sent photos and a video of his time with her and he looked like he was having fun. Her dog Milo is super friendly and probably made it an easier transition for my dog. Cooper can’t wait for another play date.”

“Christine was amazing. This was my first time living my Shadow with a sitter. The moment I dropped him off I knew he felt comfortable with her. Christine's communication was excellent, and she made sure to give me details and let me know how Shadow was doing. I would not hesitate to leave Shadow or recommend anyone to Christine.”

About: My family has had dogs my whole life and I can’t imagine a world without them! Large or small… I love them all! I live an active lifestyle and enjoy surrounding myself with animals. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their animals and now I would love to care for yours! I'm a self-proclaimed pet sitting specialist! I recently just graduated from the University of Oregon, I was a student-athlete and majored in Human Physiology! I’m available for drop-ins, walks/runs/hikes and dog sitting. I am honest, responsible and have reliable transportation. While in my care, your fur baby will be treated like a loved family member and you will receive updates with pictures and texts. I live on 1/2 acre and have a large fenced-in yard with a friendly large breed dog to help keep your fur baby company and to play with. I can take your pup for walks/runs/hikes or even a Starbucks run for a yummy PupCup!

About: I've grown up caring for high maintenance dogs (Australian/German Shepherds, Border Collies, Huskies) so I know the game when it comes to wearing them out, stubbornness, positive reinforcement, hair etc.. Grew up with cats as well, so no discrimination over here. Currently very flexible with my time, which allows me to be available when needed. Can easily adjust my schedule to accommodate drop-ins, walks, extended stays, and last minute care requests. I have a spacious, calm home with a large enclosed backyard surrounded by walls for safety. I currently have no pets, so your dog will get my full attention in a comfortable, low stress environment.

About: I am a former vet tech, loving dog mom, and amateur trainer. I can provide your dog with a safe place, lots of cuddles and a little training (especially for.minor behavior issues), and a crazy pack of dogs to play with! I can easily handle daily oral medications, even for stubborn dogs who think they're sneaky. I can also handle subq and IM injections. I believe in high quality food, plenty of fresh clean water, and of course snacks. I can offer some light grooming, brushing, baths, ear cleaning and basic nail trims/grinding. But no clipping, trust me on that one. I am currently home full time, so I am available to care for your dog Monday through Friday. I already have my crazy pack to take care of every day, starting with structured morning feedings. One more set of paws for a day is just another dog to love. I have a fenced yard, but for the most part, my dogs, and yours, stay inside with me. Mine are family after all, and yours is a VIP guest!

“Thank you for helping us feel comfortable with leaving our puppy for the first time.”
