Doggy Day Care in Houstonville

About: *I do not receive notifications between 8:00 pm and 8:00 am, so if you message me between those hours and do not get an answer immediately, do not worry. I will return your message the next morning asap after 8:00 am.* If you want a peaceful, homey, lovey, happy family experience for your furbaby while you are gone, you’ve come to the right spot. I have taken care of “critters” for as long as I can remember. Now that I’m grown, I’ve passed this love on to my little family, so we make a great care team. We love, cuddle, feed, and play with them as part of our family! I do this full time now, so I am flexible to come see your pets at your home, feed them, walk them, cuddle and play with them while you are away. Of course, I will tailor my help to each individual and work out how to best serve each of you! So let’s schedule a meet and greet and see if we’re a good fit! We live in a beautiful community by the bay with plenty of places for dogs to have a blast exploring the peaceful sights and sounds of this magnificent ecosystem we have. For dogs that can handle it, a client favorite is to take them on 4 mile walk to a dog friendly beach and back. That is just one of the many wonderful adventures in walking distance of our home. For smaller dogs, we love to take them on a much shorter walk to the bluff that overlooks the bay with plenty of space to run around and take in the peaceful sights and smells. Most of the time, our own kitties also love to join us on this walk. If boarding, we generally feed them first thing in the morning and go on some adventures, come home and get some water, rest, relax to some DogTV meant to either calm, relax, or stimulate a dog’s (or cat’s!) nervous system. I have found this has worked wonders for their mental state and creates a very peaceful environment. Then, we go on more adventures before dinner and bed, which makes for very tired, happy animals! Please leave written instructions and do not be afraid to leave as much detail as possible. Meet and greets: I do not proceed with new client bookings without first conducting a complimentary meet and greet. This is important for the trust and safety of all and also required by insurance. At the meet and greet, each party can determine if we are a good fit, develop rapport, go over all specific individual care needs, etc. Then, when I see your sweet pet when you are away, we will be well prepared, relaxed and already friends! Key security and home access: For optimal security and peace of mind for both pet parent and caregiver, it is highly recommended that pet parents keep their keys on their personal property at all times with the use of a lockbox or have the caregiver utilize their keyless door access code, if they have one. PLEASE include all access codes under the care instructions section in your profile. If you message them, it can make it extremely difficult and time consuming to find them when needed, as each stay has its own thread. If this is not possible, a hide-a-key is recommended. If you prefer me to retain your key, a $12 pick up and $12 drop off fee will be charged - $24 total for both. This covers the time and gas required, as well as the system created to ensure 100% of all retained keys are absolutely never lost, stolen, or damaged. Always leave a spare key with a trusted neighbor, if possible, as well. Never have your caregiver lock keys in the home after the last visit. If you are delayed before you return, a caregiver will need access again to your pets. Delays like this happen quite frequently, so please do not take this chance.

“Gabrielle is amazing. Last minute schedule change and she accommodated our needs. Molly loves her and her dogs and cat. Molly is exhausted at the end of the day.”

Cheryl L.

“She does a great job! At first, I was very cautious because Bella had never been with strangers before other than a few hours and she hadn't been around big dogs since my shepherd passed away last year. But her dogs are very playful, nice and mindful of the tiny dog taking up their space. Jennifer is a good referee between them and treats Bella compassionately like the Princess Queen she is LoL. She has definitely earned my trust, respect and appreciation more than average. She gives more than 100%.”

Michele T.

About: i’ve had experience working in a dog daycare, and have taken care of an assortment of farm animals: chickens, sheep, horses, goats, etc. Ready for anything! I’m currently working very much part-time, and have plenty of free time to tend to your pet’s needs! Whenever wherever, i’m available more often than most. I have a fenced yard and space in my house for them to do as they please. If they need some play time, consider it done!

About: I am a responsible single empty nester and I am looking for furry friends to love on. I am an animal lover and pet owner and I will treat your pet as my own. I am available for daily drop ins while you are away. I know how precious our four legged family members are and I will take very good care of your babies, big or small, dog or cat, I love them all and I will be ready to keep your mind at ease while you are away! I work a flexible shift and can arrange pet care around my work schedule any day of the week. I could come to your home early and late before and after my shift. Adjustments can be made, so feel free to reach out and we can come up with a schedule together. When I come to your home, I will spend time playing with and exercising your babies. I will follow all instructions, no matter the request, and make sure they are comfortable before I leave.

About: I've owned a Rhodesian Ridgeback, a Shi-poo, and now a Bernie Doodle. The Bernie doodle is three years old and kind and welcoming. The cat will hang out at a distance. I am retired and "working" from home. I have the time to commit to taking care of your pets' needs during the early mornings, daytime, and evening. Overnight if needed. My home has a fenced back yard. I am home all day so they will be let out often if staying here and am available during day for walks and check ins. Our house is calm and quiet. If at your home, your pet will be taken care of per your instructions. I love to play fetch, run them in backyard, walk them, and certainly love on them to make them feel loved, exercised, and relaxed.

“So grateful our puppy was able to come and play here! She had a blast and was tired out by their amazing doggies! Love the vibes we got and the environment!”
