“Jeanette is such a joy to have your pet around! She is organized and detail. She provides updates and love to my Melo. Melo deals with separation anxiety but he enjoyed his time with her. He came home worn out and had a great time. I would recommend her to anyone with a little one.”

“My puppy just had her first daycare visit with Dana. She was wonderful, and I was blown away by her love for the dogs she cares for. She took such great care of Ruby and gave lots of updates throughout the day. Looking forward to many future visits!”

“Georgia has been enjoying spending two days a week at Alyssa and Spencer’s while her mom works. Alyssa and Spencer are great with Georgia and make her feel right at home from the moment she gets inside. We are so grateful to have found this wonderful alternative to larger doggy day cares for Georgia. Georgia doesn’t give too many details on all that she does while she is at Alyssa and Spencer’s, but on the mornings we go to their house, she can’t wait to get in the car and get there.”

“Kylie and Michael have been so kind and accommodating for my Great Dane, Blu! She is a special girl with many special quirks, but Kylie was so patient with her during her first stay, helping her get comfortable in a new environment. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in their care. We are so thankful to have found them :)”

“Enzo was incredibly awesome! I was extremely nervous initially with leaving my lil guy with someone outside of the home. I felt such at ease from the second I met Enzo. Pup and I couldn’t have found a better person, it’s not possible. Ha!!! So very pleased.”

“Clementine had so much fun at Doggy Day Care with Liz! Liz was very communicative leading up to and throughout the day. Highly recommend if your pup needs somewhere to hang for the day :)”

About: Growing up around dogs and having two of my own, I understand the separation anxiety of leaving them at home for long periods or for vacations (been there!). I also understand if you have specific lists of needs as well (been there too!) So I will ensure your doggo is well loved and you get as much contact from me as you need to feel comfortable. I am currently a grad student, so most of my days are spent at home or being active outside (I like walking, hiking and I run 5-6x/week). This makes my days very flexible with what I can fit into my schedule. I can guarantee they will fit right in. If we book an appointment, that means my time is now theirs! I can stay over if your pet likes their home, or I have a fenced yard with a large doggie door for in/out access. I also have a separate doggie couch we can chill on and they are welcome to get on the bed at night (unless you have a no-furniture rule!) I do pick up backyard waste wherever they stay. It's no fun playing in poo...or coming home to a yard full of it! I just had to say goodbye to my beloved chocolate lab/vizsla from cancer who was a tripod, so your doggo would have the run of the house. This also means I can give medication and look after dogs that need extra care.
“Olga was wonderful! Her sweet little girl got along great with my small dogs. She was very attentive and provided regular pupdates. My dogs loved staying with her and we will definitely be using her again very soon!”

“Mariel was amazing with Arlo! She sent me videos and picture throughout the day. Arlo had a blast running around the yard and loved having new friends. I will definitely book with her again.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra care. From large dogs (Akitas and Weimaraners) to smaller breeds. I raised my dog Bailey (who’s now almost 11yo) from five months old, so I know the patience and training younger pups require, and I’ve also managed her post-surgery recovery (TPLO) with daily meds, shots, and special care. A couple years ago, I rescued a skittish street dog and helped her adjust to people before finding her a permanent home - so I’m also experienced with shy or nervous dogs, too. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me because I treat every dog like my own. Working from home means I can give pups lots of attention, walks, and playtime with Bailey during the day. I work from home full-time, which means I’m available throughout the day to give your pup attention, exercise, and playtime. I keep a consistent routine with walks, potty breaks, and enrichment activities, and I love having Bailey’s dog friends around to keep her company. On nice days, I sometimes work from the Whitewater Center off-leash area, so if your dog enjoys outings, I can bring them along too. I want your pup to feel safe, happy, and at home here. I have a fenced yard for play, and Bailey loves having dog friends around. I’m comfortable with meds and senior care too, so you can relax knowing your dog is well cared for.
About: I’ve cared for animals since I was 15, and I have 3 fur babies of my own! I provide dependable and attentive pet care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I prioritize safety, consistency, and compassion, ensuring your pet is well-cared for in your absence. My goal is to offer peace of mind while maintaining your pet’s routine and comfort. My schedule is currently very flexible! I’m available weekends and weekdays for your last minute needs, and I have no problem with updating you on your pets while you’re away! I don’t have a fenced yard at the moment but I have 50 foot leads that my 2 sweet dogs love! I can easily crate your dog if needed, and following your dogs training and routines is important to me

About: I have 9yrs experience of taking care of a German Shepard mix. I understand no two dogs are the same and each some with their own personalities and needs. I work fully remote at home and have a pretty flexible schedule! That being said, I would be available 24/7 and happy to organize a pick up or drop off time that works best for you. I have a 2,300sq foot house in Cotswold with a huge fenced in backyard. I’m happy to host here or at your house based on your pets needs. I don’t have any pets and just one roommate whose hallway will be blocked off. Otherwise, my home environment is calm and open.
About: *NO pits or aggressive breeds as I have small kids* If you’re looking for a dog loving home with no rules, I’m your sitter! I have two of my own, with a 3 acre yard for running and playing, trails to explore in the yard and lots of cuddles available. All pets will be loved as family during their stay, can lay on all of our furniture. And even have a doggie lounger on the deck for sun bathing! The water bowl is filled and laid out all day for unlimited drinks as well! I also have experience in elderly care (I cared for a 16 year old dog) and im happy to bathe your doggie as well if requested! Your furry friend won’t just have a sitter, they will have their own vacation :) I’m home daily with my kids two pups, so we play outside lots of our days and my full time job is to care for and love all my babies, (fur babies included) I have a 3 acre yard, there’s a fenced area but because it’s a large yard and we go out back mostly there’s no where to run off to. I have a gate I can close near the road at the driveway, and my neighbors gated their yard. There’s so much room to run and play and explore
“I had such an amazing experience! He was absolutely wonderful with my dog and took great care of him. I’m very picky about who I trust to watch my pup, but he went above and beyond sending me pictures, keeping me updated, and making sure Mateo had everything he needed. He also has a nice backyard that my dog loved, and he kept him well-fed and happy the whole time. I felt completely at ease and will definitely be booking with him again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since the age of two and grown an attachment with them ever since. Since entering my adult years I’ve had two dogs in the span of 5 years. I’ve also cared for my mother’s two cats within that span. I work overnight so anytime during the day would be filled with care, walks, playtime, and love. I’m flexible especially over the summer time for whichever services are needed. I live in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of walking space and not too far from the dog park if need be. I also can provide a medium sized crate.
“Marcus was great with Roxbury. He made sure he walked and insured me he was in a safe environment. Roxbury was excited to see him, which gave me confidence in his sitting. Thank you, TB”

Dana was absolutely wonderful! She kept me updated with plenty of photos and messages throughout the day, which gave me such peace of mind. My dog looked genuinely happy, relaxed, and right at home in her care. It’s clear she truly loves what she does. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be booking with her again
