Doggy Day Care in Ijamsville

“Emily is sooo great! She was extremely patient with our anxious dog; very communicative and sent updates (with photos) throughout the day. Her personality: warm, reassuring, professional. Her home: welcoming, tidy, located in a safe & quiet neighborhood. I would 100% recommend Emily as a sitter! We hope to use her services again & again!”

About: I've been a dog-mom to three very different dogs—a German Shepherd, a Rottweiler, and an Indian street dog rescue—over nearly 30 years. They were always part of the family, traveling with us across the world through military assignments and other moves. I've loved and cared for them through every stage of life, from their energetic puppy days to the challenges of old age, gaining plenty of experience with a range of personalities and needs. I recently said goodbye to Daisy, my loyal companion of 13 years, leaving a big hole in my heart. I’m currently not working and have very few time-bound commitments, making my schedule very flexible. I am available throughout the day and over the weekends. I live in a single family home with a small unfenced yard. I am in a residential community with plenty of space to walk and green areas. There are no other pets or kids in the house.

About: I've always had animals and I always will. They soothe the soul and fill your heart with love. I'm here to be your respond caregiver! I work from home part time and have a ton of flexibility to care for other animals. It's something that brightens my day, too! Win-win. I follow directions provided carefully always leading with the pets trust and love for me. I am open and honest and understand the huge responsibility of an animal!

“We were very pleased with the overall service. Our dogs came back happy and clean!”

About: Hi! I’m Ingrid, a mom of 4 boys ages 3-12 and a dog owner to a boy Beagle named Otis. I’ve had dogs all my life and love being with them and caring for them! (I even trained Otis from a puppy!) We have a large house in the country on 2.5 acres of land. We LOVE having other dogs stay and visit! Otis and the children are very good with other dogs! Other than taking care of the house and kids, taking care of dogs is my only other job, so your pup will get plenty of needed attention and have lots of fun with us!!! We are on a 2.5 acre property, but no fence, so outside time will be on leash only- (we have long leashes for more freedom to roam). Inside is more flexible with free roam in the main area- very large sunroom, living room, and kitchen. Overnight sleeping in crate only.

“I don't normally leave reviews... however... my labradoodle had a BLAST! The property is beautiful and very well kept and clean... Dan and his wife are totally awesome, caring and super attentive to my dog's needs. I was worry-free the entire day. I would highly recommend Dan for your pup's needs.”

About: I have been an ER nurse for over 13 years, and travel nurse for the past 6 years. I have seemed to emerse myself while on assignment volunteering at various animal shelters to give and receive much needed love while away from my permanent home. Would love to care for your fur baby as best as you would while you’re gone. I will be working 3 nights 7pm- 7am a week as a ER/Trauma RN. I would love to spend time during my days off taking your dog out to the park or on long walks, or even just reading next to your more inactive dog. I typical love to get a little exercise in the morning hours, after my shift between, 8-10am. I only work three days, and the days I need rest, I am still able to care for your pet with feeding and potty and walking needs. I have generally fostered pups on my assignments but would like to transition to caring for your animal while you’re away. Ideally I would do your same routine as you would, while you are gone. I’m in between contracts now and am taking time to look into at home related nursing jobs. My schedule is very flexible and can vary on your needs.

About: My name is Chrissy and I am an avid animal lover that will treat your pets as they were my own! I have been providing pet sitting services for friends and families for 20+ years. I offer a complimentary meet and greet before your booking to become acquainted with you and your pets. This meet and greet is beneficial to ensure I am the right fit for you and your pets. I will take special care to keep your pet happy and healthy. Throughout your pets' stay with me, I will follow your instructions down to the tee, communicate with you throughout the day with updates or pictures through text, calls, or even email! Note: I do accommodate pets that require special care due to age, chronic illnesses, post-surgical recover, and/or other medical reasons. I understand the importance of your pets' needs. Please don't hesitate to ask any and all questions to ease your mind and let us know every detail necessary to meet your needs! I am currently working full time but I’m off on weekends, holidays and will be available for the summer (June-August). Your furbaby will have a wonderful vacation with Lucy and me! I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your furbaby company. I can allow a crate as needed. I always take my dog and rover dogs out for long walks.

“Erika was great. Quick to respond, asked questions about care for Lucy, and friendly! I’d definitely use her again in the future. Lucy loved her!”

About: I've taken care of pet dogs for thenlast 15 plus years I owned 3 Rottweilers and competed them in the akc so I can take care of small or big dogs I currently work from home and am available all the time to take care of dogs and actually have the time to play and take care of the needs of the puppies or older dogs I have a fenced yard and are capable of taking great care of the pet I also would provide play time for them where they can play inside or outside

“Rene is such a thoughtful and conscientious person, I could tell when I first met her that Rene would keep our fur children safe. Our dogs are medium sized but very sensitive and don’t fair well in kennels with a lot of loud barking, hard floors, and little human contact. Our youngest gets separation anxiety and jumps fences. Rene took all of this to heart and kept our pups safe and happy. Thanks so much , Rene!”

“Renee took great care of our dog at daycare! Good communication and sent pics/updates. Our fur baby came home happy and tired from a day of fun playing with Renee and her two dogs. Would recommend to anyone in need of doggie daycare and will definitely use her services again!”

About: We have owned at least 2 dogs at any given time for the past 30 years and truly believe no home is complete without at least 4 paws. Our family currently has 3 dogs, with plenty of room for furry friend visitors in our 4500 square foot house and acre-and-a-half fenced in yard. I am a stay-at-home mom and my husband works from home so we are around the house at the beck and call of our dog guests 24/7. Our children have grown up with dogs of all kinds (we currently have a giant 3-year old male Great Pyrenees, a 14-year old mostly deaf female Bichon Frise, and a tiny 4 year old female chihuahua mix, who together have taught our kids how to be respectful and conscious of animals in all walks of life). That being said, for the safety of our household, we can only board dogs who are family-friendly. We are homebodies who enjoy staying in, so we are around and available nearly 24/7/365. We already care for our 3 dogs around-the-clock and would be honored to be trusted to add your dog to the mix as well. We have a fenced in yard to let dogs in and out on demand (which is already constant here anyway) and a laid back routine that can easily accommodate whatever else your pet might need. Our dogs are family members, and yours would be too for their entire stay with us. Never left alone and spoiled with attention, there isn’t a care in the world once they set foot in the door — fed, watered, walked, exercised, loved, and played with! Direct access from the house to the fenced-in backyard makes potty breaks a breeze and fresh air an easy bonus throughout the day.

About: I grew up in a household with dogs. My dogs (and your dog) are part of my family. They are included in our routine. They are loved and well taken care. I am a stay at home mom. I can accommodate your dog’s need easily. Your dog will be loved and taken care as my own. Your dog must be kid and dog friendly. My children are taught to be respectful to all pets. My dog is neutered and friendly (and fully vaccinated). I take with my dog two long walks morning and evening but I also leave my dog in my yard some time during the day.

About: What sets me apart is my calm, attentive yet excited approach and genuine love for animals! I tailor my care to each dog’s unique needs, whether that means reinforcing training for puppies, maintaining routines for adult dogs, or providing gentle, patient care for seniors. I’m experienced with basic obedience training, medication administration, and supporting dogs with mobility or anxiety challenges. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—just like they are at home. Pet care is a top priority for me, and I am fully committed to providing attentive and reliable care. I have an open and flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate visits, playtime, walks, feeding, and any special needs your pet may have. Ensuring your pet’s routine and well-being is always my focus. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet in my care. Whether in your home or mine, I ensure that all pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times. My home features a fully fenced yard, providing a safe space for dogs to play and explore. I maintain a clean, calm environment and tailor care to each pet’s needs, including feeding, playtime, and any special instructions from their owners.

“Ellen is great! She has a big heart and is an animal person through and through. We started out with a few boarding visits and now go to Ellen for day care every week. She’s very easy to work with and has a great location for dogs to run around/play/hike. Thanks Ellen!”
