Doggy Day Care in Independence

“Catrina was great! Our dog was a little anxious at first but Catrina managed it really well and sent us updates and photos through the day which was so appreciated! Definitely would use Catrina again when we’re back in town.”

“I really appreciate that Cindy is well-attuned to dog behavior and helps my dog be a part of her adorable pack. Today she washed my dog when she got muddy! She goes above and beyond typical dog sitting. Thank you, Cindy :)”

“Charlie had a great time with Tyler! I appreciated the updates and the adventuring she got to do. She definitely came back home one tired pup!”

“As a first time user of Rover and never having left our pets with anyone other than family, naturally, I was very apprehensive about leaving Henry and Zira with complete strangers. Philly immediately put my mind at ease with the first video conference - he was very reassuring and understanding. During their stay with Philly we received regular updates on how the two were doing including pictures. When we picked them up they looked happy, healthy, and well cared for. I will most definitely remember Philly and Rover the next time we need someone to watch these two again. Thank you so much.”

“Thank you so much for the kindness and patience you have shown my Gracie. It is wonderful to go to work and know she is having a great day and with good company.”

“She was so kind and communicated so well. Even took me the night before and sent pictures during the day. I intend to have my sweet kitties with her from now on so long as she’s available. 🤍”

“Chenoa is a compassionate, caring person who loves animals. She is very patient with the pets and goes above and beyond to make sure they are well taken care of and happy!”

“Samantha's dedication to the wellbeing of animals continues to amaze me every day. I have worked with her in dog rescue for about a year and a half now and there is no one better to hire to look after your furry friends! She is a certified dog trainer and she knows her stuff! I've seen her work with some of the toughest, scrappiest dogs to help them grow into polite, loving, and well loved family members. There's not really an animal she doesn't seem to love, given her farm of mostly rescues that she embraces and provides loving homes for. She has easily a decade+ of experience with animals all shapes and sizes and I'd trust her with my animals any day of the week. She's fantastic.”

“Jennifer was great to work with! She took great care of our Luna and we got some adorable pictures of her enjoying the fireplace!”

“MG was very communicative and sent awesome photos! My pup had a great time and came back all tuckered out! I would highly recommend MG!”

“This was the 2nd time we have used Laura for doggy daycare and we could not be happier! Abby was well cared for, and came home tired and happy! Loved the photos of Abby Labby & Laura's dog Lucy!”

“Mike is amazing with the bigger dogs. For 6 months he took my two mid weight mix dogs walking at the park for one hour while I was at work. Amount of time and resources saved knowing my two furry children where getting the right amount of large muscle exercise. When I got home they where not experiencing high anxiety.”

“Mady was amazing!! Barley loved her and had a ton of fun. Mady is communicative and pleasure to work with on the human side. Definitely will look to her first when we need a dog sitter in the salem area.”

“Zuri treated my dog like her own, tons of cuddles and love! My dog appreciated being able to get on her couches and bed and roam the house freely. I’d trust Zuri to watch any of my pets again in the future.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 7. I grew up around farm animals and love caring for them. I am reliable and try to make things as convenient as possible for you! I am working part time and am available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 10 am. I generally have some flexibility given advance notice. I have a fenced yard and a 2 year old labradoodle at home. I can crate your pet if necessary. I have a few different sizes so I can accommodate most pets.

About: I have always loved being around animals since I was very little. I started my career in veterinary medicine after graduating high school I went to school to learn veterinary assisting. 3 years later I still love what I do everyday and wanted to do more with animals! I am certified in basic first aid and CPR for cats and dogs, as well as knowledgeable about common health issues that can affect pets. I understand how important it is to provide quality care, so I always take the time to get to know each animal individually, and their personalities, preferences and needs so that I can provide them with the best possible care while their owners are away! Caring for animals is something I take very seriously and it Brings me great joy . I’m currently working veterinary assisting 3 days a week and I am now able to spend my spare time with more animals! I have lunch break and multiple breaks during the day to do same time feedings, exercise, and bond with your pet. While in the care of other pets I like to get to know their personality and behaviors so I can provide them with the best possible care, I also make sure to monitor their health and administer any medication other treatments as needed. I think it’s fun to provide plenty of stimulation, activities and toys for pets to keep them entertained while they’re in my care, I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment for each pet and do everything I can do ensure that they’re all their needs are met.

“Wendy is awesome! She took amazing care of Norman while our family was gone. It was his first stay and she made him feel so comfortable and well taken care of. Plus during his stay, he got to have fun playtimes with other dogs as well! Wendy is very friendly and easy to work with. She was also great with photos/communication during Norman's visit.”

“Sarah is the best! She’s attentive and cares for any and all animals she cares for. I trust her with my 3 fur babies completely.”

“Kassidee was great! They took Willow in and treated her like family. Their dogs were friendly and made the day feel like a play date instead of a sitter for Willow. Will definitely use again.”

About: I grew up near an off leash dog trail in Alaska, so my house was the hangout spot for all the dogs of my family and friends. I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life and have tons of experience with them. I understand the importance of finding a sitter or walker that takes care of all your dog’s needs. Every dog is different! I work part-time intermittently, so I will always be around to give your pup the attention they deserve. I have a super snuggly Blue Heeler baby named Lupin who is extremely friendly and loves when he gets to play with other dogs. We have a fenced dog park about 20 yards away from us so there will be lots of play time. Please consider me to take care of your pups! I’m currently working part-time and am able to build my schedule around the times I am pet-sitting. I have every day of the week available at this time. I have a friendly pup named Lupin who would love to keep yours company. We are right next to a dog park too and have tons of toys to play with. We also have a crate if needed, and space to put another if you decide to bring your own.
