Top rated Independence doggy day care sitters

“Richard was a wonderful host, he gave me plenty of updates as well as sending me pics through out my pups stay. He had a big fenced in yard with plenty of space for my dog to run around and play 10/10 definitely recommend.”


“Our dogs had a great stay with Michael. He was able to host them at the last minute and they received a very warm welcome both from Michael and his other guests. I will definitely use his services again.”


“10/10 would recommend. You can tell how much effort she put into her bio and her house setup for pets. She's such a sweetheart very reasonably priced but deserves a good tip. I love how experienced she is with a variety. I love the play places she has setup for the pets. I am excited to hopefully keep coming to her. She even gave us a little goodie bag. It was so cute. I especially enjoyed the updates and pics and Vids. Wendy is wonderful”


“I couldn’t ask for a better sitter for Zoe! Heather and her kids treat Zoe like their own, always showering her with love and care. I appreciate the regular picture updates and great communication—it gives me so much peace of mind knowing Zoe is in such good hands. Highly recommend! Zoe feels right at home!”


“This was my dog's first day at dog day care and it was only for a couple hours just to try it out. But everything went very well. Chang updated me with pictures shortly after dropping my dog off to assure me he was doing well. When I picked him up he was happy to see me but also seemed like he would have followed Chang back to her house if she wanted him to. So that was very comforting to see that he liked her. I will be a repeat customer.”



“Booked doggy daycare for the day and as always Cassandra was great! My husband and I have peace of mind while we are away because we know our puppy is in good hands. Cassandra sends updates/pictures and stays in communication. Best part is that our puppy loves her and her family!”


“Anthony and Leslie took such good care of our Harley! We received so many pictures throughout the day, so I was confident he was taken well care of. I would definitely book with them again. Thank you!”


“Sarah is absolutely wonderful with our 6 year old dog, Meeko. Meeko absolutely adores being at her house to play fetch all day long and take long walks in the woods. I would highly recommend Sarah for all of your dog sitting needs! She treats Meeko just like she would her own dog. Meeko has an absolute blast every time he stays at Sarah’s!”


“Last minute need for daycare during vacation trip to Pittsburgh. Jessica was wonderful with our babies.both were happy and most importantly safe. We even went to dinner and didn’t pick up until after 9 which was no problem. Definitely recommend.”


About: We have one dog in our house who is very playful and friendly! Ann works from home so we can easily adapt to the needs of your dog and they will not be left alone for long periods of time. Any special requests are encouraged (long walks, dog park trips, you name it). We already care for a very active dog that includes long morning walks and a lot of playtime. Your furry friend will fit right in! Safety is our first priority! Any special instructions are always strictly adhered to and we understand each dog has unique needs. Doors always remain shut and walks ALWAYS have leashes.


“I left my Pomeranian in daycare from April 24 to May 8, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was clearly well cared for, happy, and relaxed every time I picked him up. Communication was great, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Thank you for the reliable, loving care—will definitely book again!”


“Unbelievable experience! HIGHLY recommend this family if you want your pup to be loved like at home. We were looking for a last minute sitter for a puppy and Arit was kind enough to take care of our puppy. Coffee and Milo are bffs now. Thank you for the love you showed our little guy. We will be back!”



“Jeannine and her family were so welcoming of our Lola and so flexible with drop off and pick up times. You can tell they just love the dogs like they are their own and do their best to make the dogs as comfortable as possible! We loved all of the picture and video updates. It really made us feel comfortable leaving our pup with them. We will without a doubt use Jeannine whenever we need a dog sitter!”


About: I have been loving and caring for animals since childhood. As a young adult I worked several years in a grooming salon, bathing and caring for dogs and cats there, and growing in knowledge about various different types of pets. I have a special love for all dogs from Great Danes to Yorkies. I have been dog-sitting for family and friends for a while. Now that my 6 kids are older (ages 14-3) I’d love to offer pet services within our home to family-friendly dogs. I have a fenced in backyard and a beautiful neighborhood with sidewalks, great for walking! As I love learning about the various needs of my own children, I enjoy taking on the task of a dog's particular needs and how they need to be cared for. As a homeschooling mom I'm able to adapt my day to whatever a pet needs. This can easily include a morning, afternoon, and evening walk, as well as other potty breaks if needed. Our family would love to take a break from schoolwork to play with a dog in our fenced in backyard or take a dog on a walk on the wooded trails behind our home. I do have a crate in our home to keep a dog safe from potential open doors when visitors come and food droppings during meals. I use a "double door" method (deck gate, locked storm door, garage door) in our home when I pet sit, as an extra pro-caution for dog safety. I keep our fence gates locked during dog sitting. I do have the ability to use a child gate to give a pet a designated room to stay in, but I also enjoy having a dog live as part of our family for the duration of the stay! I allow my children to help with pet-care if each client gives the approval. A note that we do have chickens that I allow to free-range twice a day, but can remain inside their fence during dog care days.

About: I had a dog every since I was 2 years old. I’ve taken care of fosters, my own dogs, friends dogs. I can give references if needed I work from home M-F and can give my animals full attention. Dogs will be given constant access to my huge back yard and plenty of attention. I have a calm submissive golden doodle and a full fenced in back yard. I can care for most dogs but if you have a jumper of over 48 inches then this may not be the best fit as I give my dogs free range of the yard when I work.

“My Maltese, Aimee, had a wonderful time at Jaime's, playing with her Havanese and running around in their enclosed backyard. Aimee was safe, well fed, and loved on. Aimee and I both had good playdates that day.”

He has the ability of being able to read dogs well and more importantly read situations and anticipate potential events.
