Doggy Day Care in Howard City

About: I have pet care experience of all kinds including breeding and stud service, shots and weening. We have a large open floor plan with a 4 stall garage to roam. Price will vary if dog is not fully potty trained or in heat during their stay. I am a stay at home entrepreneur allowing me to be present with pets while they are here. I am also a groomer! My husband and I believe this is a great opportunity to be able to love on all kinds of different breeds as our own and a fun way to take care of some of the most precious pets. That being said i will only accept crate trained dogs(for their safety) they need to be able to be crated safely while we are away for a short or longer amount of time. There are no cats or dogs here (unless confirmed by you that its okay to board at the same time as another families pet) so you won't have to worry about your pet getting along with anyone else while they are here. Be sure to check your collars and leashes of any wear and tears before dropping them off💛 tell me about your dog and we will see if it will be a good fit🧡

“This is our first time using daycare, and Emily made the whole experience so comforting. She was welcoming, kind, and truly wonderful with our dog. We felt completely at ease and confident that our dog was in good care!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud rescue dog parent with over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I know firsthand how tough it can be to find affordable, trustworthy help—especially when juggling a busy schedule. That’s what inspired me to become a Rover sitter: to offer dependable, compassionate care for your pets when you need it most. My two pups (a spunky senior Jack Russell/Heeler mix and a mid-aged Husky/Heeler) keep me active and on my toes, and I frequently care for my sister-in-law's dogs as well. I’m experienced with dogs who need a little extra TLC, including those on special diets, daily medications, or unique routines. Whether you need someone to drop in for a quick potty break or want your dog to feel at home while you're away, I treat every pet like family—with patience, attention, and love. I'm flexible! I currently work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule during the days. I work about ~10-15 hours a week and don't have a set 9-5 type schedule. I can do my work whenever, wherever! I have a fenced in yard and two dogs at home. I treat my dogs like they are my BABIES - they get a ton of attention, pets, belly rubs, walks, and kisses. We do a lot of walks in our neighborhood and like to bring our pets on adventures.

About: I’ve always had a passion for dogs of all kinds! I have been around dogs my whole life between family and friends! Our house is open to any breed big or small! I am a stay at home mom with lots of free time to walk and play with your fur babies! I know your dogs are family and only want the best care for them while you are away! We have a spacious house with comfy couches for your fur babies! Our yard isn’t fenced but we live very close to the park and love walks! We have a 3 year old dog that loves to play. Our little boy loves kisses from doggies and pets them very nicely. We allow dogs to roam freely in the house unless told otherwise.

“Our dog, Finn, came home happy and tired. He had a full day meeting the farm animals and all the children. He also enjoyed making new friends with the other dogs. Reyna was very accommodating and sent lots of pictures throughout the day.”

About: Hi! I’m Melody, a huge animal lover and proud dog mom to two sweet huskies. Dogs are part of the family in my home, and I treat every pup I care for with the same love, patience, and respect as my own. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, structure, or reassurance, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood while you’re away. I’m very attentive to routines, behavior, and comfort, and I’ll always keep you updated so you know your fur baby is in great hands! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give dogs the attention they deserve. Your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches, and I make sure they get regular exercise, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. Dogs stay in a calm, safe, and loving home with a fenced yard for play and fresh air. I supervise closely, follow routines, and keep everything clean and comfortable so every dog can relax, feel secure, and enjoy their stay.

About: I raised my own dog from puppy hood. He was 4 mos old when I got him and now he's 10 yrs old. I've always grown up with multiple dogs and cats. I can take care of senior dogs, puppies, big, small, multiple dogs, or solo style. I used to have a bearded dragon. I have rodent experience too(farrets, bunnies, etc). In the last ten years i have gotten more comfortable with chickens and will probably get some more chicks this spring 🌼 I love being helpful, being around animals, and the out doors! Pet care is something that has always been part of my daily life. It makes me have more of a structure and purpose to my days. If im eating or use the bathroom then I know that pets and animals must need to as well, so my own needs also always remind me to meet the pets needs and care. I will try to keep them on a consistent schedule that the owner always does and do everything I can as close to the owner does to make them comfortable and cared for and less stressed while their owner is away. Give them as much attention as possible or space if they prefer to be left.

“Caroline was awesome! She sent updates throughout the visit and sent cute pictures of Rondo! She took him for a walk and played with him throughout the day. He came home a tired and happy puppy :) I’ve already booked rondos next stay with Caroline.”

“Amy did a great job with my June Bug and I love the pictures and wrap up that I got. This was our first time working with Amy and I think we found our new caregiver for June Bug. I highly recommend and we will book with her again. Also, her little Mia is the sweetest girl ❤️.”

“Paige and Matthew were so so amazing to my boyfriend and i as well as our ollie! i seriously can’t say enough great things about them, we set up a meet and great which made me (a first time rover mom) feel so much better about seeing how he would interact there. they were SO flexible with pickup and drop off times as my boyfriend is a farmer and gets out of work at different times and whatnot. Paige was super responsive to my messages and sent pictures and videos often to keep me happy! ollie got training while he stayed with them and was less mouthy (puppy teething)! again i cannot say enough good things about them, they loved ollie like he was their own. we will most definitely be booking with them again to take care of our puppy! best rover sitters out there.”

Brittany H.

“I mean, wow! This has been the most detailed and very communicative doggie day care that we've ever experienced. We're traveling across the country so if we come back through this area, we'll be sure to book another stay with Katelyn. We wish she was available back home in Washington state.”

About: I have many years experience with cats, even wild bred cats. But due to having two cats myself, I am not taking any cats for boarding. Maybe interested in stopping by and feeding and cleaning litters I am currently working but my husband is home 100% of the time and kids are also here that love playing with animals, bathing them, and taking them for walks. We have a fenced in backyard where we have a dog ourselves that is a mixed breed dog that has been introduced to many other animals and has never been anything but excited to have a pail.

About: We are a Christian home with a very active family! I’m thankful that my job allows me to spend most of my days at home with the kids and dog. Our dog is very friendly and loves new visitors. She’s smaller, but loves the big dogs best! My daughter on the other hand loves the smaller dogs. We will happily welcome them all! My dog and I frequent the dog parks, hiking trails, beaches and walks through the town. I used to be a former 4-H member with my childhood dog, so I’ve got many years experience with training and showing. My love and patience is huge for dogs. I prefer a dog to be kennel trained, and come with a crate but an open to discussion. I am very flexible and I will most certainly work with you with whatever you may need. Look forwarding to meeting you and your pup. We are home the majority of our days, tending to our hobby farm, and enjoying time outside. We have a very flexible schedule, and are willing to accommodate. The dogs are always fed separate, and separated when I leave! Pets are allowed on beds, and couches. They will get lots of time outside with us.
