Doggy Day Care in Hope

About: I've been around and have helped care for dogs and cats all shapes and sizes. Each one I've personally owned are a part of the family! I would take care of your fur baby like I'd want mine taken care of. I am a homeschooling mom which means your fur baby will be kept company while in my care. During the school year, on Saturdays, we sometimes will have sporting events to go to, as well as some week nights we will go to extracurricular practices but never gone for long! I currently have Midland's rail trail right in my back yard for nice walks if that's something you would like done. When we move in March we will have a large open park right in our backyard! We have a sweet Goldador at home that loves playmates and also two cats that sleep the day away. My three kids (ages 8 - 13) have been shown from the beginning how to respect and love animals and they will be a wonderful addition to keeping your fur babies feeling loved and cared for!

“Blythe was very accommodating. She took us as a fairly last minute booking since we had a funeral and my previous sitter had just moved away. My pickup estimate was off and she was kind enough to keep Grokii an hour or two longer than expected even though it coincided with putting her kids to bed. Her kids are absolutely adorable and I know Grokii was doted on because he slept almost the entire next day. Great family - highly recommend!”

“Erin was wonderful with Zoe. Zoe had a great time playing with some other dogs and enjoying her walks along lovely tree covered sidewalks. I couldn’t have found a better place for Zoe to spend her day”

Karen S.

“My dogs came home tired and so so happy! Jessica sent plenty of photos and its clear that all the dogs in her care get tons of love and attention. Looking forward to weekly care for my pups🥰”

Kellie R.

“Kathy is amazing. Isabel can be timid when she goes to a new place, but she walked into Kathy's like she lived there. Made it much easier to leave my fur baby for daycare.”

Molly S.

“Jennifer is friendly, helpful, and did great with my boy. He was very happy and seemed like he made himself right at home. I got plenty of updates and pictures during his stay and she was very understanding and helpful even when I needed help last minute. I brought him back for a second time and he got super excited as we were pulling up so he must’ve loved it there ❤️”

Tiffany D.

“Edward was perfect for our energetic dog! He was very professional and makes sure that all the dogs that stay with him are up to date on their vaccinations, which made me feel better knowing that Ollie would be around other dogs! I would highly recommend!”

Heather M.

“Ashley was great! This was my pups first time with a sitter, and I know he can be a handful! She kept me updated the whole time while she had him.”

Jeff M.

“Kim was great with my dog! My dog isn’t the easiest dog in the world: sweet dog, but a shelter dog with a lot of anxiety, but she accommodated her perfectly!”

Samuel J.

“Ralph was excellent with Sadie she was a happy pup when I picked her up. You just know when you've got a good sitter and I would reccomend him to anyone.”

James H.

“Kumar is great! He's been a dog sitter for me four times the past two weeks for fifteen hours total. Extremely friendly with my dog. Takes him on one or two walks. Reliable and flexible with scheduling. I'll be working with him more going forward. Much appreciated!”

Jake H.

“We've taken our dog Lucy to Jerri a few times now, and she is just wonderful! A true dog lover. She is a great communicator and sends pictures and updates through out the day. She goes above and beyond what we could hope, and we know our pug is super happy when she is there! You can trust your furry baby with Jerri. She's great!”

Lorie H.

“This was my first time using this service and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a responsible setter or boarder. Larisa was outstanding with my boy Spartacus and I will use her anytime I need her services.”

Gary H.

“Megan was wonderful with our dog Shep. He had so much fun playing and she gave great picture updates throughout the day. We will definitely be back!”

As a business owner who manages my own time, I prioritize reliability and responsiveness, ensuring that your pet’s needs are always met with the highest level of care and attention. Commitment to Quality Care in Your Home When caring for your pet in your home, I strive to go above and beyond to ensure both your pet's well-being and your peace of mind. If I notice anything out of place or in need of tidying, I’m happy to help—but always with your prior approval. I understand that personal preferences vary; some clients prefer to handle certain tasks themselves, while others appreciate the extra assistance. My goal is to respect your space and treat your home with the same level of care I would my own. Having spent the last two years renovating my own home, I deeply understand the importance of maintaining a clean and organized environment. Safety and Pet Care Best Practices Your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I take every precaution to ensure their well-being: Secure Transportation: If I transport your pet, they will always be properly restrained with a seatbelt or pet travel carrier for safety. Leash & Walk Safety: On walks, I ensure pets do not pick up items from the ground. I also clean their paws after every outing, just as I do with my own pets. Hygiene & Health: If your pet gets dirty, I will provide a bath with your permission. Any medical concerns will be addressed immediately, and I am trained in emergency pet first aid, excluding surgical procedures. Home Security: I will ensure all doors and windows are securely locked when leaving your home. Privacy & Updates: I will only take photos of your pet for your updates and will never photograph your home without permission. Supervision & Outdoor Time: Pets in my care will never be left alone in a vehicle or outside unattended, even in my fenced yard. Cats will remain indoors unless they are harness-trained and you request outdoor time. Stranger Interaction: While on walks, your pet will not interact with strangers or other animals unless pre-approved for socialization. Pet Care in My Home Pets in my home receive dedicated supervision unless prior arrangements are made: Dogs: If a dog is staying with me and needs to be left alone for an extended period, I require a crate for their safety and comfort. However, my schedule is highly flexible, minimizing the time they are left alone. Cats: Cats may be left unsupervised in a designated, pet-safe room with regular check-ins. Handling Aggressive or Special Needs Pets I have extensive experience with fearful, reactive, and aggressive pets, but clear and honest communication is essential: Cats: I am comfortable handling feral or aggressive cats and will take the necessary time to build trust. I can administer medication as needed, but I require full transparency about their behavior to ensure safety for all. Dogs: I can accommodate dogs with minor behavioral challenges, such as leash reactivity or mild anxiety. However, for safety reasons, I cannot accept: Dogs over 50 lbs who are not at least moderately leash-trained. Dogs requiring a muzzle or choke collar in public settings. Dogs with severe aggression or unpredictable behavior. Double-Booking Policy For the safety and well-being of all pets, I do not double-book boarding, daycare, or walks unless all parties have given consent and a meet-and-greet has taken place. If multiple dogs are staying in my home at the same time, a meet-and-greet is required. Even if the dogs get along, they will not be left alone together unless securely crated. Cats and dogs boarding in my home simultaneously will be kept in separate areas with no contact.
