Doggy Day Care in Humarock

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover who grew up begging for a dog and taking any chance I could to babysit and care for friends’ and neighbors’ pups. As soon as I graduated college, I welcomed my first dog—a golden retriever who was the center of my world. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all kinds: high-energy, mischievous troublemakers, dogs with medical needs, seniors, and everything in between. I’m comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I truly enjoy getting to know what makes each dog unique. After meeting my husband, we added a rescue to our household and regularly help care for and babysit dogs for family and friends. After saying goodbye to my beloved Golden, our house has felt a little empty. While we’re not ready to add another full time dog, we love welcoming an extra companion to our home for short term stays! Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve while you’re away. I am a mom of two young children and currently at home with them and our rescue dog. I said goodbye to my senior golden last year and have missed having that extra companion. I have plenty of space both indoors and outdoors, and lots of time to devote to your dog. I have a dog-safe, child-proof home. My yard is partially fenced, and I also have an electric fence available for dogs trained to use one (my dog does not use it). My house is located in a quiet, wonderful neighborhood with sidewalks and low-traffic roads—perfect for safe, enjoyable walks.

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and fish. I have experience taking care of my own animals and my sisters dogs when needed. Ive handled health conditions, tank maintenance and im good with managing feeding and care schedules and keeping animals calm in different places. Im patient, observant, calm and I take pet safety very seriously and prioritize keeping pets comfortable. Im currently available and flexible and will respond quickly! Im currently unemployed so I have A LOT of free time on my hands and would love to take care of your pets! I love dogs and it breaks my heart not being able to have one live with me so I would love to babysit your furry friends instead Im in an apartment with 2 cats and fish! Im not allowed to have a dog but I can have dogs visit and love when my siblings dogs come to visit for the weekend occasionally! There’s woods next to my apartment and two grass spots in my complex perfect for dogs ! My cats are older, have no problem with dogs but are unsure about cats so I would keep them separate. I don’t have a car right now but will always use uber in case of emergency or to go to a pet owners home to watch there pets!

About: I grew up on a small farm and have always loved creatures great and small. I have always had pets and have been a caregiver for friend’s dogs for years. I am now home full time and welcome the opportunity to slather love on more critters 🩷 I am currently home full time so have all the time in the world to spend with the animals. In warm weather I can leave the back door open allowing dogs to come in and out as the please. I have a fenced yard and a sweet 6 year old plott hound (Mojo), many fish, an axolotl (Buggie), and a hamster (Donut). My husband and I have two boys aged 10 and 12 who love animals as much as I do.

About: Genuine love and a deep connection with dogs is what sets me apart as a dog sitter. With over 24 years of experience raising and caring for dogs, I treat every dog like they are my own child. I provide a loving, caring, and safe environment where your dog will feel comfortable and adored. You can trust that your pet will receive the highest level of attention and care in my hands. I work remotely and have plenty of time to care for your special dog! I require minimal notification and am very flexible. Just communicate and we can figure something out! Your dog will enjoy a spacious and safe environment on our large property, where they’ll have plenty of room to explore. Though we don’t have a fence, I ensure they’re always on a leash/lead or supervised during outdoor time. Regular walks, playtime, and socializing with our friendly Golden Retriever will make your dog feel right at home and part of our family.

“Thank you! Our Gunnar is so happy (and tired)!”

About: Hi! I’m Ben, a genuine dog lover that goes above and beyond for all pets under my care. I’ve been called a “dog whisperer” by more than a few people because I naturally connect with dogs on a deep level, especially those who may be hesitant, skittish, or shy around others. Time and time again, those dogs seem to gravitate toward me, and earning their trust is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. I value patience and consistency for these adorable, loving creatures and truly see them as members of the family, not just pets. I take my responsibility seriously and always research the ins and outs of every breed before pet sitting so I can provide thoughtful, customized care tailored to each dog’s specific needs and personality. I love meeting dogs at their energy level, whether that means lots of playtime, long walks, games, and exercise, or ensuring structured rest and calm downtime when that’s what they need most. I’m happy to learn about your training goals and reinforce behavior using positive reinforcement strategies so your dog feels supported, safe, and understood. I’ve worked with all types of dogs and a wide range of challenges, including food aggression, excessive barking, and very cautious or shy temperaments. I truly love all dogs and meet them where they are, with patience, empathy, and consistency. I also welcome any and all instructions you’d like to share. No list is too long when it comes to your valued family member, and I take pride in following routines closely so your dog feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! Pet care is my full-time focus, allowing me to offer exceptional flexibility in scheduling that accommodates a variety of schedules and allows me the availability to best support you and your pet’s needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, my top priority is ensuring comfort, consistency, and a stress-free experience. If your pet stays in my home, they’ll enjoy a fenced-in yard and plenty of fresh air, plus we live just blocks from the beach, perfect for dogs who love seaside walks and playtime. We also have a very friendly French bulldog who loves other dogs and provides great companionship, especially for shy or anxious pups who benefit from having a buddy. I’m always mindful that some dogs may feel out of their comfort zone at first, and I take great care to help them settle in gently. Many dogs who have stayed with us have quickly warmed up to our cozy home and routine. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’m dedicated to keeping them on their normal routine to provide familiarity and reduce stress. I treat every home with the utmost respect, maintaining cleanliness, organization, and care as if it were my own. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, I carefully review and follow all instructions to ensure consistency, comfort, and safety while you’re away. I also believe strongly in keeping you connected, so I send frequent photos and videos because I know how much it means to see your pet happy when you’re apart, even if it’s just for a few hours.

“We have been leaving our dog Boo with Kristen while we go to work and we have been loving it!! He always has a great day and I love getting pictures of him throughout the day. They take such good care of him and I never have to worry. I would highly recommend anyone leave their dog with Kristen and Tim, so glad we found them!”

About: We have a large, very clean, and safe home with a big backyard. There are plenty of trails and sidewalks for walking around our house as well as a variety of parks nearby we can visit. I stay at home and will be available all day to supervise care for your dog(s). My three teenage kids will help provide care and are very responsible, loving, and diligent caretakers. Our own 2 small (4 lb) chihuahuas, Mocha & Lacey, are used to having other dogs around. When your dog(s) stay with us, you can be sure that they will be well loved, safe, and welcomed into the family as one of our own! We would be happy to keep you updated with pictures of your pet during his/her stay. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! I currently stay at home and am available to care for your dog for most of the day. My husband also works from home quite a bit and helps as well. We have a large back yard but also love taking the dogs on walks through the nearby trails in the woods. Both my husband an I walk every day so there is plenty of opportunity for your dog to get out.

“Trish was an absolute delight! She was incredibly warm and caring and clearly gave our pup a lot of love and attention. We appreciated her communication and photos throughout the day. We’re looking forward to working with her next time we’re in the area!”

“Murphy spent two days with Roxanne for doggy day care when we needed to be at work. She played with him in her nice backyard, and kept him engaged while also helping him relax in a new place. On his second time seeing her, he whined at her door and excitedly ran to see her. It’s clear she enjoys his company, and he also enjoys spending time with her. We will definitely consider booking her for any future needs.”

“Doby had a great time. Michele was very friendly and flexible with how we were faced with some potential changes in our plans.”

“Bonnie, our Black Lab, had a great first visit. The big backyard was perfect. Bonnie got to do a lot of running with Eileen's dogs. We were late picking up Bonnie and Eileen was very accommodating. Mike”

Mike P.

“Michaela is great! She loved on Oren and was excited to see him a second time and Oren was very excited to see her. He came home tired which I loved, meaning he had lots of fun at her house. She communicates well for updates on how he was doing through the day. I would definitely hire her again.”

Alice H.

“Thank you so much Rose for taking care of Diddy and Flubby! They had a great time and came home ready for bed. Fantastic stay! I’ll be in touch soon with more dates!”

Milena P.

“Caroline communicates clearly and promptly. The scheduling was easy and she sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. Drop off and pick up were timely. My puppy has stayed with her twice and has seemed happy when I’ve picked her up. She has her own dog Willow at home as well- a plus for dogs wanting to play with other dogs.”

About: I have taken care of and walked German Shepherd’s huskies, and Alaskan malamute all my life and and Land Seers now. I can handle very big dogs and make sure they are under control. I do DoorDash and Instacart in my spare time but my real passion is taking care of my great four hounds at the house every day and night. I can take care of dogs and they will have fun with the other guys and also probably best to sit in at your house to take care of your furry ones there.

“Tracey was excellent! Warm, responsible and communicative. She took great care of my senior dog who had an excellent day with her.”

Katherine E.

“Jeremy & Rui were great! Needed last minute day care on a Holiday and they were able to take our Millie. She had other pup friends to play with and they were great with communication. Would stay with them again!”
