Doggy Day Care in Hyllwynd

“Thank you for taking good care of ketch while we were in the area for a lacrosse tournament! He had a much better time with you than he would’ve had on the hot turf!”

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. My responsibilities have included feeding, bathing, walking and providing plenty of attention and affection. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement in building trust and ensuring each dog feels safe and comfortable. Whether it’s sticking to a specific routine or engaging in play and exercise, I am committed to meeting the individual needs of every dog in my care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily schedule since I work full-time from home. This flexibility allows me to be consistently present for my dogs throughout the day. I can easily take them outside for bathroom breaks and give them attention as needed, helping them feel secure and engaged. I also make time for regular walks, usually during my breaks or lunch hour, which provides them with exercise and a chance to explore. Being home all day ensures that their needs are met without disrupting my work, creating a balanced and fulfilling routine for both of us. I care for dogs in my home by providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can play and exercise freely, giving them plenty of space to run around and enjoy the outdoors. I also have a dog of my own, so visiting dogs always have a built-in playmate to help them feel more at ease. I make sure each dog gets plenty of attention, regular walks, and a consistent routine to help them feel secure. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just relaxing, I treat every dog as if they were my own.

“Ami & James are wonderful! They provided wonderful care for our dog. Communication was excellent and we got so many pictures and videos throughout the day. We would not hesitate to use Ami & James again and highly recommend them!”

“Drew was super friendly and sent us lots of updates through the day, including photos, of our puppy. We felt very comfortable knowing our dog was in very capable hands. I’m sure he enjoyed the dog park and his 2 mile hike with Drew. We look forward to working with Drew in the future!”

“Mary took such good care of Tails the two days she needed daycare. She communicated really well, was accommodating and made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her for the first time. Her space is nice and she already had a water bowl ready when we arrived. Tails was very excited to see her the second day when we arrived! Will absolutely book with her again.”

About: Hi, I’m Dolly McAlee – a lifelong Malvern local and proud dog lover! I started this dog walking service to give busy pet parents peace of mind and pups the care, attention, and exercise they deserve. Whether it’s a brisk morning walk, a mid-day stroll, or just some extra love while you’re away, I treat every dog like my own. Dependable, friendly, and fully focused on your dog’s happiness and safety—I’m here to make tails wag all over Malvern. This is a part-time job; I am available anytime Monday-Friday anytime after 4pm and weekends are open anytime whatever your schedule needs I will make it work! I have a fenced in yard and a small dog that is very friendly and loves other dogs. I have a crate if needed and my house is doggie proof!

“Allison is super sweet and my dog Suki loves her. When I drop Suki off she is super excited to see Allison. I definitely recommend her to anyone.”

About: My family is a huge pet family and we have had several dogs of different breeds and sizes, so we are very comfortable with any dog - big or small. We recently adopted a Great Pyr/Pit puppy, Leo, and he is a big goofball. He LOVES other dogs, has had plenty of experience already with our Rover pups and is a big, submissive softie. That being said, he loves to play and wrestle, but if your dog isn't interested he may stare longingly at them from across the room, but will respect their boundaries. My husband and I work from home so we have plenty of time to give your pup attention. We also have 3 kids (9, 7 and 4) who are extremely caring and respectful of animals and they would be thrilled to help care for your pet while you are away. There will be no shortage of snuggles if your pup is a cuddler! And if not, that’s ok too! We teach our kids healthy boundaries and how to respect every dog’s needs. We have a one acre lot with an invisible fence and a quiet neighborhood to take nice long walks. We also have a “step dog,” a 5 year old Golden Retriever, that visits often and would love some new friends to play with. We have a 1 year old cat who has been brought up around all of our Rover pups, so he is very used to new dogs coming into his home. He may play if your dog is interested, but otherwise he will just go about his business and ignore them. We have watched several dogs that had no experience with cats before this and they have all done very well together. We understand each dog is different and would love to chat to see if we would be a good home-away-from-home for your pup! My husband and I both work from home, so we are around during the day to care for your pup. We are available weekdays or weekends and would consider short term care (1-2 days) or longer care if needed! We have a one acre lot and an invisible fence, but understand not all dogs are trained on this and would only use it if your pup has prior experience and ample time to get used to the property and fence at my house. Otherwise, we live in a quiet neighborhood and would love to take your dog on walks or play fetch out in the yard!

“It was my first time using Rover and a pet sitter having recently adopted my dog. It was a great experience. Jay was great to work with and I felt very comfortable leaving my pet with Jay.”

She was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times that allowed us to be very flexible. She clearly loves animals and took great care of my dog, Arlo. I would highly recommend Yolanda and we will definitely be returning clients.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for as long as I remember-truthfully. My parents always had 3-4 dogs at a time while growing up (still do) and now my fiancé and I have our own female bernadoodle - Lucy. My life revolves around her. I always have a hard time finding a dog sitter when I’m going away, especially one that I trust, so I am excited to help out with boarding dogs of any breed/size as long as they are good with other dogs! My Lucy girl loves a good sleepover. I work full-time remotely and my day is pretty flexible to ted to your dogs needs. I can accommodate a crate trained or free-roaming dog (if trained this way) at my house, or I can come to yours! I have a flexible schedule to work around your dogs feeding, potty, & exercise schedule. If preferred, I can provide morning and afternoon walks or throw a tennis ball outside for some exercise. We have a fenced in backyard as well!

“Matthew was great. He took wonderful care of Sophie and I believe she wanted to stay. He took Soohienon multiple walks and treats her as his own. He even accepted the opportunity to watch Sophie in short notice! Matthew if we were staying in the area, you’d be our new best friend! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Sophie!”

“Marnie was a great host for our dog Cannoli! She shared pictures and videos and we could tell Cannoli had a great time with her, her husband and her two poodles. We would absolutely send Cannoli over for another “playdate” next time we need a dog sitter!”
