Doggy Day Care Howard

About: We’ve always been big dog people. Growing up around dogs taught us just how much love, attention, and care they truly need and we genuinely believe pups shouldn’t be left alone for long stretches. That’s why we’re passionate about helping others give their dogs the fun, companionship, and consistent care they deserve when life gets busy. We both adore dogs (they honestly make us so happy and bring us a ton of joy), and we’d be excited to play, cuddle, and keep your pup feeling safe and loved. Over the years, friends and family have trusted us again and again to care for their dogs, whether they’re out of town or just need a helping hand. We also enjoy training, and we’re always patiently working on new tricks and good habits with our golden retriever, Daisy! We have amazing work flexibility. We can work around people's schedules. It would just be a matter of coordinating between me and the owner of the pup. In our home, your dog will have a safe, closed fenced backyard to run and play, plenty of toys, and the company of our friendly golden retriever, Daisy. We keep preventive dog meds on hand for things like allergies, and your pup will always have access to fresh water, food, and a variety of treats.

About: I have experienced every step of Animal Care; from my first childhood dog birthing a litter of pups, to end-of-life care more recently with my family dog. Let me know what makes your critter happy, and know that your pooch is in loving, warm hands. I have cared for dogs 3/4s of my 35 years on this planet and even moved a dog back acquired internationally off of the streets of Beirut, Lebanon with a previous girlfriend and trained obedience into the street dog, and to be accustomed to a more sedentary American-Style home living. I am currently shifting from a sales career in finance to a tech career, and am spending some quality time with my parents in Appley Valley for a few months outside of Mt. Vernon before I rewire my focus back to an intensive career-oriented work environment. I am holding off on a full-time job and would love to take care of your pet and give them all of my attention and focus whenever you need me, even if it's an emergency. I have no other work engagements currently as I'm taking two months to catch up with my folks while I transition to a new firm. I have a finished basement apartment underneath a 2600 sq ft. ranch, where your animal children are welcome to relax on my furniture and enjoy an acre of wooded land and a 10-minute drive to Bark Park outside of Appley Valley Lake Community. I can travel and my car is dog-friendly if your creature likes to socialize or play at any of the local parks or dog parks. If your pooch needs a Paw-Wash or "the Works" I have a walk-in shower where we can have your puppy smelling "so fresh and so clean" upon returning the critter to your domicile.

About: I’m a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule and a great space for your fur baby to play! I’ve owned a lot of different dogs breeds my entire life ranging in size from a chihuahua to a golden retriever. I love routine and will follow your dog care needs exactly how they’re used to. They will receive a ton of love, cuddles and play time from me and my three animal loving kids. We have 5 acres of yard space to play and maintained walking trails in the back of our property for daily walks. I will only accept dogs that are potty trained and good with little kids. I’m happy to administer medication, give treats and give you plenty of updates on how they are doing as I know how hard it is to leave your pet with someone else. I am home a lot and have a very flexible schedule. I can give frequent bathroom breaks and follow whatever schedule your dog is used too I have a very large yard to run and play in and have well maintained grass walking trails on my property.

About: I'm a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule and a love for small dogs! I've had Chihuahuas since I was 12. I currently have one who is well socialized and gets along great with other animals. A day in our home is filled with cuddles, exercise, and playtime. I make sure to provide lots of photos and videos of your pet during their time here because I know pets are part of the family and how hard it can be to be away from them. The dogs in my care will have full access to my home. We will provide multiple daily walks and follow whatever schedule you provide to keep them feeling comfortable and at home here.

About: I've taken care of several dogs throughout my life cleaning family pet dogs we've had neighbors dogs dogs in the neighborhood. Throughout my childhood we have had biggest dogs medium dogs small dogs. I can discuss scheduling with individual fur baby parents! Hopefully my availability fits the needs of your fur babies and your schedules. I look forward to talking to you and working with your fur babies! I have a huge side yard. And a fenced in backyard. I can also go to your home to watch for babies if that's necessary.

“Rumi was so nice and responsive to all our messages. She was able to watch our dog on short notice. She sent updates during the stay where Evie seemed to be enjoying herself. Thanks so much!”

“My two dogs and I have had great experiences with Tina, she takes excellent care of them. The first few daycare visits were only my dog who has high anxiety and separation issues. During these trips I received regular messages from Tina and would speak to her at the end and felt very comfortable with how the dog was doing there. My dogs seems to enjoy going to Tina’s for day care and gets excited when we arrive at her home. I recently decided to try bringing my second who is older for day care, he has some health issues that limit his mobility and he is mostly blind. Tina went out of her way to accommodate his needs and kept me updated on how he was doing during his stay. I felt comforted by how much care she has shown both of my dogs, how willing she has been to communicate with us about their stays, and how much she talks to us about them when we pick them up and drop them off.”

About: I grew up with a black lab, Macey and a Chihuahua mix, Tootsie and took care of them from when I was young until around the age of 16 when they passed away. I also regularly dog sat 5 dogs at once- all with specific needs, diets and medications before the family moved away. I am comfortable with high energy dogs, I will happily administer medication, and we have 2 acres of fenced in land for your dog to run and play! I am a flight attendant so my schedule varies- usually I work 3-4 days a month and they are never the same. Request and I’ll accept if I’m not flying that day, but other than occasional work I’m pretty much always home! I would love to have a dog but because I’m a flight attendant I know I couldn’t give it the consistency and love it would need- however, on days I am home I would LOVE to have a furry friend to play with. We would be happy to host your dog(s) and let them run around our fenced in back yard, explore the barn, and roam the house. We only accept dogs that are good with children and that are potty trained. We have a large kennel if your dog is crate trained and you would like us to use it, but as long as it’s good with kids it’s free to explore. We can administer medication, give treats, and share lots of love and we hope you’ll trust us with your beloved pups ❤️ P.S. my favorite breeds are corgis, labs and golden doodles :) but I’m not picky, all dogs will receive equal love 😉

“Our pup had a great time. Was treated as on of the family!”

“Roo says she had a “pawfect time”. She loved the back yard! and didn’t miss us at all.”

About: I have had three dogs, myself and personally trained two of them! Our young growing family will give your pup plenty of attention and love! Your pup must be good with kids and animals as we have two young boys who absolutely love animals and a miniature Australian Shepherd, who will play well with any dog! There are also two barn cats on the property who keep to themselves for the most part. I will send update pictures daily, so you can be assured that your pup is doing great. We can’t wait to host your furry friend! I am a stay at home mom so I can be extremely flexible with schedule and be available for your pet most of the time and attend to the needs of your specific pet. I will be sure to feed your pet as often as they are used to at home and with the food you provide. I spend lots of time outside with the kids so you can also be assured that your pet will be given plenty of outside time! I am happy to leave pets inside if they prefer that as well. With our Australian Shepherd exercise will also not be a concern as he is very playful but he also will leave animals alone if they don’t want to play!

About: Growing up I have always cared for our family pets. Today I have 3 rescue dogs of my own. My pups are apart of my family. I volunteer to transport dogs to a safe homes. Animals of any type depend on their humans to care for them. When their humans can’t be there for some reason they still need that special care and attention. I have always struggled when leaving my dogs to go away. What do I do with them? Who will care for them like I do? I would like to help people to be at ease knowing your pet will be well taken care of in my hands because I understand what it is like to have that worry. I will care for your pet as though they are mine.

“I highly recommend Brooke. I recently adopted a new 11 month old puppy (Oscar) with severe separation anxiety. Oscar absolutely loved his time with Brooke and her friendly dogs and children. I was very nervous to leave Oscar alone with a stranger because he is extremely attached to me and will almost scream if I go outside without him, but he was perfectly happy when I arrived to pick him up. Definitely will be working with Brooke again!”

“Today marks one full year of using Caitlin for our dog sitting needs. Luna always has a wonderful time there playing with the other dogs. She is always well taken care of, and I have peace of mind anytime I leave her with a Caitlin.”

About: I have lived on a farm since I was born until college, and my parents still live on one. I love all animals and always willing to help out. I don’t mind if they are wild puppies or older dogs we will get though the walk or stay together! I only work 2 days a week, so my schedule is pretty open! I have a very large back yard not fenced in, but I can take out all dogs on a leash.I have one other dog that your dog can play with or we can play inside to make sure everyone stays safe! I plan on walking them throughout the neighborhood. If I go to a clients house whatever the clients wants me to do to best care for their dog I will.

“Samantha was amazing! She took our pup in for doggy daycare last minute, was so kind and caring, and took fantastic care of our pup! She sent me updates throughout the day with pictures and was so flexible and accommodating to meet our pup’s needs and provide him with the best experience. He loved running and playing with her dogs and came home so happy! Would 100% recommend her and will definitely be using her daycare services again!”

“We left our dog Bentley with Lauranne for the day just so Bentley and Lauranne could get to know each other before Bentley’s 7 day stay with her. Bentley had a great time. Lauranne has a great home perfect for pets. She has a large fenced patio. I would highly recommend Lauranne as an outstanding sitter or day care.”

About: I have experience with both puppies and seniors. Includes potty training obedience training, dominance training. I’ve worked at a humane society and owned rescue dogs. My approach is to find each individual dog’s motivation to help them grow, learn, and mature. I currently have 2 dogs of my own and enjoy walking and taking them on adventures. I do community work within my school district and would love the added opportunities to fit my love for dogs in my routine more. With dogs non-verbal queues are very important in understanding behavior, needs, and temperament. I pay attention give them good food exercise is a must! When dealing with new dogs, speaking with the owner and what they want is top priority. Setting goals for our poochie pals allows a measurement for tracking success.

“Cassie was amazing!! This was Tilly's first pet sitter experience and Cassie made everything great!! Highly recommend Cassie!! She will be my go to if I ever need a pet sitter again!! 10 STARS!!!!”
