Doggy Day Care Idledale

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life growing up and love them. I don’t have any pets right now so I want to help others out. I currently work fully remote at a very low demanding role, so I have plenty of time to care for pets and hang out with them! We have a 2 bedroom townhome style unit that has plenty of room for pets to roam around and we enjoy dogs and cats (:

“Heather was amazing! She made sure my sweet puppy was well cared for and looked after. It definitely put me at ease. My doggy loves playing with the other older pups and running around in the yard. Thank you Heather for taking care of my baby!”

About: 30 Years of Rescue Experience & Multi-Dog Mastery What sets us apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience that you won’t find with a casual sitter. For the past three decades, our home has been a sanctuary for at least four rescue dogs at any given time. We aren't just dog lovers; we are seasoned caregivers who understand the complexities of canine behavior, pack dynamics, and the unique needs of rescue animals. 🛡️ Senior & Special Needs Care Having raised many rescues from their first day home through their senior years, we are highly experienced in senior care. We understand the patience required for dogs with mobility issues, hearing or vision loss, and the strict schedules needed for medication administration. Your "old soul" will find a quiet, respectful, and accommodating environment here. My Routine: Full-Time Care & Companionship Being retired means your dog is my primary focus, not a side project. Because I am home all day, I provide the constant companionship and supervision that rescue dogs and seniors often need to feel secure. Continuous Supervision: I don't have an "office" to go to. Whether it’s potty breaks, play sessions, or just a quiet nap by my feet, your dog will have a human present throughout the day. Structured Days: Having managed a four-dog household for 30 years, I thrive on routine. We follow a consistent schedule for feedings, walks, and medication to ensure every guest feels stable and settled. Active Presence: My schedule is flexible, allowing me to adapt to your dog’s specific energy levels—whether that means frequent backyard exploration or extra snuggle time on the sofa. A Secure, 3.25–Acre Haven My home is designed for dogs to be dogs, safely. I reside on 3.25 acres of land, providing your pet with plenty of room to explore, sniff, and run. For your peace of mind, my property is fully fenced, ensuring that even the most curious explorers stay safe and secure within my boundaries. Safety & Supervision With 30 years of experience managing multi–dog households, safety is my second nature. Never Unattended: Because I am retired, dogs are supervised during all outdoor play sessions. Safe Integration: I use my deep understanding of pack dynamics to ensure all interactions are calm and positive. Secure Transitions: I maintain a double–gate mentality to ensure no "door–bolting" accidents occur. A Rescue–Ready Environment I understand that a new environment can be stressful, especially for rescues. My home is set up to be a low–stress sanctuary: Quiet Spaces: I have dedicated areas where dogs can retreat if they need a break or a nap. Senior-Friendly: No steep stairs or slippery floors to worry about—just a flat, comfortable layout perfect for aging joints. Clean & Maintained: I keep a tidy, hazard–free home to ensure your pet’s health and hygiene are prioritized.

“Lorraine is Amazing. Shyla loves going to her house playing with her friends and hanging out with her favorite people. Fur baby loving family Shyla will definitely use Lorraine as a home away from home”

About: I've owned dogs my whole life and am very knowledgeable of how to train and care for them. I've owned many different pets from scaly friends to furry ones, both large and small. I have a great deal of knowledge of how to care for both puppies and older companions. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thank you! I currently work from home so I have plenty of time for your furry friends. I have two very friendly and well trained dogs that love having company. We also have a cat that gets along very well with them. I have plenty of space in my back yard that is enclosed by a 6ft fence. We (dogs & I) go for walks and have plenty of play time during the day. I feed my girls twice a day and give them treats once in a while. Neither of my girls are food or treat aggressive. I have a couple of neighbor kids who come over and love to play with and show love to my pets. All of the pets in my home are well loved and cared for.

About: I have 20 years of hands-on pet care experience and I've been around animals my entire life. I grew up in a household with multiple high-energy dogs, so caring for pets has always felt like second nature to me. Over the years, I've also lived with roommates whose dogs were just as high-energy, and later a cat, which gave me even more day-to-day experience with different pet personalities, routines, and needs. I have also cared for cats with medical needs. I've done drop-in visits for diabetic cats, including administering insulin injections on schedule. I understand how important consistency, routine, and a calm approach are for pets managing health conditions, and I take that responsibility seriously. My partner and I adopted a cat early last year, so I'm very used to daily pet care and know firsthand how important it is to keep things consistent for a pet's comfort and well-being. Our cat Yuzu is friendly, curious, and very social — I've made sure he's comfortable around new people and pets. If your pet enjoys feline company, they'll have a friendly companion during their boarding stay! Whether it's a high-energy dog who needs a good long walk or extra playtime to burn off energy, a cat who just wants a quick check-in and a clean litter box, or a pet who needs full boarding while their owners are away, I'm comfortable and experienced enough to give them the attentive, reliable care they deserve. I offer walks, drop-in visits, and boarding, and I'm happy to work with pets who have special needs, medications, or routines that require extra attention and consistency. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life since I work from home and have my own cat, Yuzu. Feeding, playtime, and routine check-ins happen daily, so fitting in walks, drop-ins, or boarding for your pet is easy, and I'm able to give them consistent attention throughout the day. In my home, pets are supervised, given a comfortable space, and introduced gradually to Yuzu if they're cat-friendly. In a client's home, I would follow your routines and instructions closely, secure doors and gates, and make sure medications or feeding schedules are followed exactly as directed.

About: I learned pet care from an early age from a dog loving family and then worked with the humane society and spent time with professional trainers. I am a retired school teacher with lots of free time! I love talking brisk, long walks with caninne companions and seeing mature up close. I live in a beautiful condo in Genesee. There is a ton of outdoor space and easy acces to trails. Great for dogs and humans.

“Makayla is awesome! Super easy to coordinate with, quick to respond, and took really good care of my girl. Makayla’s dog is very low key and friendly, and my dog got on great with him! Couldn’t recommend her more!”

“Kayla was super sweet and my dog had an absolute BLAST! Awesome setup where dogs can roam outside in nature. Highly recommend. Thank you!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, with it being cats, dogs, or even lizards, crabs, and rats. I enjoy quality time with any pet and learning what they need for care. I have trained dogs. I currently have a part-time job and school. I am available on most weekends, holidays, and weekdays! I perfer two days advance but can be very flexible for your needs. I live near many trails and a very walkable area so your dog will get as much exercise as needed. I also have two cats and a dog if your dog needs more company. I’m able to put cats in a separate room if needed aswell.

“Kyle has been great watching my pup! My dog has certain quirks so I get very nervous about people watching him but he’s been very accommodating and amazing at responding and re-assuring me everything is going well!”

“Rebecca took wonderful care of our Giant Schnauzer while we were in town visiting. She was flexible, awesome communication and allowed a late night pickup so we could go to Meow Wolf. When we came back to get her, we could see through the window that everyone was chilling on the couch watching a movie. She has a great backyard too!”

“Katrina was a fantastic sitter for Snow! Snow has anxiety and can’t be left alone so Katrina watched Snow while we were at an event. Snow was happy, safe, and content and had another pup around too. Definitely recommend her!”

About: I form bonds quickly with dogs and love to have them on walks, hikes, and at our house in the mountains. My family and friends call me first when they’re going out of town and need a sitter. My schedule is currently super flexible so I'm available on weekdays and some weekends. Time of day is also flexible. Our dogs are limited to short walks now that they're older, I'm looking forward to longer dog walks :) I have a big fenced yard and two friendly senior pups who are used to other dogs in their house and yard. I put my dogs needs first, they’re not restricted anywhere besides beds in the house.

About: Pet sitting is more than just a side hustle! I have been a sitter for over 5 years now, and consider all of my pet clients part of my family. Many of them have been with me since the beginning! In my care, your family will become my family. I specialize in high care and elderly dogs that need extra love and attention, but can provide stellar to all. I work full time from home, so can dedicate most of my day to activities and loving on your pets! I live on Bear Creek trail and walk it several times a day. Your pets will be hosted in a calm, clean environment. I only take on 1 family’s pets at a time, so you know they will have my undivided attention.

“Brigitte took great care of my dog! My dog came home each day happy, well exercised and was happy to go back each day! Will definitely have Brigitte dog sit again.”

“Victoria was absolutely incredible with my dogs! Both of my pups have special needs—one wears a diaper and the other has limited mobility in her back legs—which can honestly be a lot to manage. But Victoria handled everything with so much patience, care, and genuine affection. She didn’t just meet their physical needs; she went above and beyond to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I could tell she was attentive and truly present with them throughout the day. It’s such a relief to find someone who not only understands the extra care required but embraces it with a kind heart. I can’t recommend her enough!”

About: Hi! We are Kati and Mitch, a work from home couple living with our pack in the mountains. We’ve owned and raised dogs of all shapes and attitudes and sizes, so our experience covers most ground! Our 14 year old dog is a pit who was very reactive in his prime, teaching us a lot about how to handle reactive dogs safely, but now as a sleepy senior, he’s taught us more about senior dog care. We raised our second dog from a puppy, so she taught us so much about the adorable havoc that puppies can bring! Our newest is a rescue, who was a street dog in Texas. She was very skittish and is still people-shy, so we’ve learned a lot about how to approach wary dogs, and how to break those naughty habits she learned on the streets! We love our pack so much, and we’d love to use our knowledge to love yours too! We both work from home 100% of the time, so we are home all day if you need a daycare or want to board, your pup will rarely be left alone if ever! Our schedules are flexible enough that we can easily fit in multiple drop in visits or daily walks too. We have a fully fenced in yard, a little over half an acre. Our two younger dogs would love to play with a new friend, but will also give space if yours isn’t into the rough and tumble! Our dogs are all allowed on the furniture, one sleeps in bed with us. They are the center of our attention all day, yours will be no different! :)

“Paul was fantastic! Josie was wiped out after a great day and Paul provided photo updates throughout. He came in clutch and was a huge help on late notice.”

“Leyah had so much fun with Cara and her family. Their house is perfect to host a dog and she even have furry friends to tire her out during the day. I would definitely recommend them.”
