Doggy Day Care Independent Hill

“Jim has been our go to guy every single time we're traveling. We always know that leaving the pups with him means they'll be cared for and get plenty of exercise while they're at it. We usually get Winnie and Ollie back happy, healthy, and exhausted from playing all weekend. 100/10!”

“Book without delay!! Benji proved to be a communicative, responsive and kind host for our pup, Cooper. Cooper had a great time in his care, evidenced by lovely pictures of fun play time activities & a happy and tired dog at day's end. :) Looking forward to rebooking Benji again.”

“Cindy has been so kind and welcoming since the first time we met her. She takes great care of our Lab, Wesley, and we know he will always have a great day with her and Bella. We will continue to use Cindy in the future for dog sitting. Thank you so much for being responsive and reliable!”

“Yulissa was very friendly and really cared and took care of my pup while I was away. She was also very flexible and was able to accommodate a schedule shift when my plans went a bit longer than expected. 10/10!”

“Heather was amazing! She was super accommodating and took such great care of my fur baby while I was away. I could tell my pup was happy and well-loved the whole time. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐶💛”

About: "Always do the right thing even when no one's watching." With decades of experience caring for big/small pups, cats, farm animals, Guinea pigs, and more, I offer a cozy & loving environment in my peaceful Cottage-style home for your furr babie(s). I have a big fenced yard for the pups to securely play, run, and a convenient doggy door for their convenience. Your pup will get lots of love and cuddles, guaranteed. ❤️ IMPORTANT: When requesting to book me, you will be promoted to select one of the two services I provide: The first is "Boarding", which means your pup will stay with me overnight for consecutive days in a row and getting lots of love and endless attention 🤗. The second service is "Doggy Day Care", consisting of your pup being dropped off by you (or designated guardian) and picked up that same day by you or guardian of choice. This also means your pup might get to play with other client's fur baby in my home for Doggy Day Care, and not staying overnight. If your fur baby requires overnight care even on a day that is not consecutive, and you prefer they're not around other client's pets but mine (Teddy & Daphne), then the service you want is definitely "Boarding". Happy to clarify this with you during our first Meet'n Greet" and modify the booking for you if necessary. ❤️ Thank you so much 😊 I'm the favorite aunt of many furry babies care for within the safety of my home for friends and families. I'd be so happy to provide the care and love to fur babies needing a getaway while their parents go on vacation :). If you're interested in a house visit or a meet'n greet for your pup(s) to meet my two little pups before booking, that works great! Simply send me a message and I'll coordinate with you :) I am available holidays too!! Warm Hugs! ENVIRONMENT: I have a 0.22 acre fenced yard, a doggy door, a patio with a Ring Camera and sensor lights. I have cameras all around the house as well and will never walk the babies without their leash and harness. Your pups will not leave my premises or be under the care of no one else but me. Depending on what service you need, the pups sleep with me, and will receive endless cuddles, and meals (following the owner's instructions), and will get along with my very two friendly small dogs, Teddy and Daphne.

“Payton loves Tracey and her family. She feels like that is her home away from home. She looks forward to going to Tracey’s everyday I’ve taken her. Although she sometimes misses her kitten brother when they’re playing in the morning. Tracey is consistent and reliable and offers excellent pet care if you need someone to help out with your pet, I would definitely recommend her.”

About: I’ve spent years taking care of pets—from shy seniors to high-energy pups—and I really take the time to get to know what each one needs to feel happy and comfortable. I’m super patient, and I love finding the little things that make each pet light up, whether that’s a favorite toy or a long walk! My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and totally at home while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins, so giving pets consistent care fits really smoothly into my day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening chill time, I make sure each pet gets the attention and structure they’re used to. Even on busy weeks, I carve out dedicated time so every animal I’m caring for gets patience, affection, and a routine that feels familiar to them. I listen to you. In my home, I keep pets on their usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. If I’m at a client’s home, I follow their rules and their pet’s normal schedule so everything feels familiar.

“My dog had a wonderful time with Erin and Guiness! He's apprehensive when meeting new dogs and new people, and Erin was wonderful about being patient with him and letting him warm up to her and to Guiness in his own time. Erin sent lots of photos so I could see how he was doing. I will definitely be choosing Erin for my future dog care needs!”

“As an anxious first time dog momma I was so nervous to leave my pup with anyone. Krystal and her husband made it so easy to leave my sweet boy behind (14 week golden retriever) . I got frequent pictures lots of updates & he loved her dogs! Thank you Krystal for treating my puppy like one of your own!”

“Nancy took such good care of Jasper! My sweet dog is a rescue, and can have pretty severe separation anxiety while I'm away. I was in town for a wedding, and wanted to know that Jasper was well cared for and had someone to hang out with all day. Nancy understood exactly what Jasper needed, and I returned to a happy and relaxed dog. I will definitely book with Nancy again next time we're in town.”

“Vanessa and Geoffrey were so kind and professional with the initial meet and greet for doggy daycare. They sent lots of updates and pictures to put my mind at ease. This was our first in-home dog care experience, and we will definitely be back!”

About: I have had pups and kitties since I was a young lass. Which has developed into a passion for caring for animals. I work with a local rescue fostering both cats and dogs. I currently have a Pyrenees Anatolian Shepherd and a Pyrenees Tree Walking Coon Hound, 4 cats, 3 ducks, and way too many chickens. I do everything from feeding, walks, baths, and boarding. I work from home full time. My schedule is very flexible. I am available through out the day to take care oF your fur babies. I have a fenced in yard with a 6ft privacy fence. 2 friendly resident pups and 4 cats that love dogs. I also have a dog door that gives our fur babies access all day to go in and out as they please.

About: Over the years, I've been blessed with friends trusting me to care for their fur babies, and we always have a good time. I observe every tiny detail of doggie behavior and what makes them comfortable. I enjoy letting them smell and observe their surroundings, and get them acclimated before introducing them to my day-to-day lifestyle, but I’m pretty much chill and easygoing. Both of my dogs are obedient and friendly, and have been trained at home. One of our dogs came home as a puppy, and the other one is a rescue, and both get along well. With practice and patience, I’ve learned to take care of most of their grooming, including nails, ears, paw trims, brushing their teeth, de-shedding, and doggie baths. With routines, I like start small with walks to get a sense of their pace and smelling habits so that they enjoy every minute, and if need be, I can help correct some of the leash pulling. I am also well accustomed to administering oral medication when dogs are on a schedule, so if that's something that you need for your pup, I’m happy to help. I'm blessed to be able to work from home, so I spend all day with my dogs. My usual work schedule is Monday through Friday, 9-5 pm, so I usually run my errands in the afternoon, and go for a walk with them if it’s nice out. On occasions, I sometimes take my pups to the dog park so they can burn some energy. Your pup will rarely be alone, but if I need to run errands for whatever reason, I have a doggie room with a camera so I can monitor them. There’s also plenty of toys, beds, and crates, just in case. I don't crate my pups anymore since they've learned to behave when alone, but if you'd like me to crate yours, just let me know. I’m more than happy to accommodate you and your fur baby's needs. In this house, your pet isn't a guest; they’re part of the pack. I have two other dogs that will keep your baby company and provide lots of playtime. I will follow your home routine to a T, and provide lots of belly rubs, walkies, and playtime. My house has a large fenced-in backyard, so they will have ample room to play and frequent breaks. Additionally, the neighborhood is very dog-friendly, so there are lots of sidewalks for walkies. There’s have plenty of toys here, and there are also a few dog parks nearby that we can visit, if your dog is comfortable. If your pup is more on the older side, prefers to sleep all day, and doesn't like to play as much, and/or is more of a loner, that's OK too! I’ll adjust to your routine and keep you up-to-date on everything. Basically, expect a very happy, very sleepy pet at pickup, daily updates, and peace of mind!

“We have been using Michelle for the year or two for walks and doggie daycare for our boy Vader. Michelle is phenomenal. Vader loves her and all the attention she gives him. He enjoys playing with Michelle’s dog at her house and the assortment of toys she provides. Michelle is super thoughtful and has bought Vader toys for our house that he loves to play with during daycare. She is very flexible with scheduling which has been a lifesaver since my husband’s schedule has changed several times over the last year with his job. I highly recommend Michelle if you need someone to walk or watch you pet (whether for the day or for vacation).”

About: Hi, I’m Emma! Animals have always brought me the most peace and joy so naturally, dogsitting is one of my favorite things! I have experience with senior dogs, puppies, timid pets, and can administer medication. I will treat your pet like the king or queen they are and provide them with love and comfort! I currently am a sophomore in community college with a flexible schedule which gives me plenty of time to care for your pet! I have my own transportation that makes my availability open and free. I spend a lot of time getting to know an animal to in-force trust and to create a comfortable environment . In my experience, I notice that this is key to easing any pet that is feeling weary about their owner not being present. This gives me room to follow instructions such as walks, medications, etc. effectively.

About: Hi! I have had pets my entire life, and currently have two cats and two Aussies. I used to work for a vet clinic as well. Because of my experience there, I learned the proper way to walk, board, foster, medicate, and care for animals. I currently work from home as a marketing manager, so my schedule is very flexible for any drop in or house sitting needs! If you choose me, I promise to care for your pets as my own. I also vow to show up on time, respect your home, and properly care for your pet with the instructions given. Expect your pet to be very loved! And definitely expect to be sent A LOT of pictures and videos! I currently work from home, so my schedule is extremely flexible! Contact me for any needs and I’m sure we can make drop in visits and/or house sitting needs work! :) I provide a safe and trusting environment for your pets by letting them get to know me first. I come with a positive attitude and upbeat voice to know I mean no harm. I start walks after your pet is comfortable with me to ensure a safe experience for all!
