Doggy Day Care Kendallville

“Lyndsey did a great job with our dog, Daisy! The pictures she provided were super cute and it felt good to know that someone was watching her while I was at work and my husband was away. I will definitely re-book with her should we need doggy daycare in the future!”

About: Hello! I am an active pet rescue volunteer ready to care for your pet. Snuggles, playtime, and photos are guaranteed! I feel like I have the best job in the world because I get to meet and care for all kinds of species and breeds, like my very own personal menagerie! I truly look forward to meeting you and providing your furry family members with the extra special care and attention they deserve while you are away. 😊 Trust me, when I say your pet is special to me. My schedule is flexible, so I am available to drop in for a visit in the morning, before work, after work, and/or again in the evening. As a lifelong pet owner and foster mom, I am dedicated to giving every animal the special love and care they deserve, especially when their families are away. It's completely normal for your pet to feel restless during the first couple of days and evenings. This behavior can vary based on each pet's background, and I understand that it is to be expected. I will do my best to give your pet the time they need to adjust to me at their own pace, while providing plenty of love, comfort, and patience.

“Nancy (& her husband) were abundantly caring and great with my Australian Shepard! I highly recommend letting them care for your dog for any duration. Updates were provided multiple times daily. Every activity was shared all with detail. Thank you!”

“Alexis is absolutely awesome! She does such a great job watching Brutus and always makes sure he’s happy, safe, and well cared for. You can tell she genuinely cares about him, and that gives us total peace of mind. Brutus loves her, and we couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with him. Highly recommend Alexis to anyone looking for someone reliable and amazing with dogs!”

“Rebecca is a wonderful sitter. This is my dog’s first time with a sitter and he’s very happy in her home. He’s a little “special needs”. We talked them through before his first visit, and she was willing to learn the best practices to set him up for success. We plan to use her services again soon!”

“Alexis is absolutely amazing in every way, upon first meeting her I could tell how kind hearted she was making it calm my mind of any worries that one may have leaving their fur babies with a stranger. Since Max has been going to Alexis he absolutely loves it, he had friends to play with and she makes sure they get plenty of play time and sends me updates throughout the day. At first Max would try to leave when I left after dropping him off, now he doesn't care about me when I drop him off. When I come to pick him up he is excited to see me but doesn't want to leave his friends. So I must say thank you Alexis for taking such good care of Max and giving him the love and care that I would while I'm at work I truly appreciate you and all that you do.”

About: For the past 9 years, I have been a dedicated dog owner, providing a loving home filled with care, affection, and attention. My experience includes participating in a variety of dog training classes, such as obedience, agility, and dock diving. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that every dog has a unique personality and responds differently to people, requiring patience, understanding, and tailored care. Currently available anytime after 5:30pm Monday through Friday… and every weekend. I will keep my schedule as up to date as possible so you never fall without care. Security is top of mind for your home and mine. Making sure they know wherever they are is a safe space for playing and fun.

About: I've had dogs my entire life! I love dogs and treat them just like family! We also love to take pups on walks and play. I am home for the summer with our daughter. I am able to dog sit during the week, over the weekend, and overnight as well. We have a fenced in yard to keep the dogs safe. We also live in an area that is great for walks multiple times a day.

“Donut was well taken care of by Millie! I had to be at work last minute and Millie was able to watch him for the entire day and into the evening. I loved how Millie would send photos and updates throughout the day. I would definitely book with Millie again!”

“We are so thankful Agnatha was able to watch our baby, Jett! She was so nice, friendly and very welcoming to Jett. We loved getting pictures & knowing our baby was in safe hands. If we are ever back in town we’ll be using Agnatha again! Highly recommend her!! ❤️”

About: Hi I’m Hannah, a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to a German Shepherd! With over 10 years of experience caring for family and friends pets and 2 years working at an animal boarding facility. I can’t wait to meet your pet :) I work a full time night shift job so I am home during the day. My sister works first shift so she is home during the night so no pets will be left alone :) I’m flexible during the day so walking and pet sitting are available as well! When caring for pets in my home, I treat it like their second home, making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, from feeding schedules to playtime, ensuring they get the attention and care they’re used to. I ensure your pet feels calm with unfamiliar surroundings. I’m there to give them all the love they need while you’re away!

About: I have a Husky (10) and a Pomeranian (12) who love to play with others. I am open to any age- a puppy who needs training, an elderly pup who needs special attention, and anything inbetween! I am currently home 7 days a week to help with your furry best friend! I am open to a schedule that best fits your needs. I have 2 dogs of my own who love to play with others. I have a fenced in yard for them to run around and play. I can easily cage mine or yours (if preferred) if separation is needed.

About: I have experience caring for both large and small dogs, including a 2-year-old Great Dane and a pit bull mix puppy. Through this, I have developed strong skills in handling dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. My dogs are well-socialized, friendly, and comfortable around both people and other animals, which reflects my commitment to proper care and positive interaction. As a stay-at-home parent, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. I am available to supervise, engage in play, and ensure dogs receive regular outdoor time and exercise as needed. Your pet will have constant companionship and a safe, well-monitored environment while in my care. I maintain a consistent routine to support each dog’s comfort and well-being. In warmer weather, I provide outdoor breaks approximately every two hours, allowing time for exercise and play. Dogs also receive regular indoor play and engagement. In my home, pets are typically allowed to remain out of the crate, promoting a relaxed and comfortable environment while still ensuring their safety and supervision.

“Makayla was great watching our dog for a day. She took great care of her and our dog enjoyed playing with her dog.”

About: I have loved and have been owned by many animals for all of my 61 years. Caring for them is an honor I cherish greatly! I taught high school for almost 30 years at Concordia Lutheran High School and almost 8 years as a social worker. I’ve absolutely adored my students and clients and would like to shower my love on your pet-angel(s) as well! I have recently retired from my careers as a high school teacher and from social work. What this means is that I now have ample time to spend with your pet(s) each weekday and weeknight as well as on the weekends! create my own schedule on an as-needed basis for you…plus I usually have weekends free for ample time with your pet. I love to walk, play and give lots of love and attention so those will be incorporated frequently! I will treat your pet(s) and home with the utmost respect as I do my own. I will stay in frequent contact with you and will take pictures throughout the visit and send updates each night so you can be assured of my service and your pet’s well-being.

About: I have experience caring for dogs at all stages of life, from puppies to senior and those with special needs. I previously had a small blind incontinent senior terrier who has since gone over the rainbow bridge, so I understand the extra patience and attention required to help them feel comfortable. I have also raised and house-trained two puppies into adulthood, who are still with my family today! One of them is a unique mix of Belgian Malinois, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, German Shepherd, Alaskan Malamute, and Rottweiler (Try saying that five times fast!). We had his DNA tested, so we can now confidently confirm his impressive mutt status. His high energy and intelligence required consistent training and socialization. After raising him, it's safe to say that I'm comfortable with puppy routines, basic obedience training, and with a wide range of temperaments and needs. What sets me apart is that I take the time to understand each dog's routine, personality and comfort level so they receive the best care that fits their individual needs. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, an active adult, or a gentle senior, I will provide the best and reliable care while you are away. I am currently homebound so your fur baby will have my full undivided attention! I recently lost my senior baby so having a temporary walking companion would be great therapy! In my home, your dog will be family. I will follow each dog's routine, including feedings times or medications, and any special care instructions provided by the owner. I keep leashes and harnesses ready by the door so dogs are always secured before going outside. No fence, no problem! Every potty break and walk is done with a properly fitted harness or leash. To help prevent accidents, stairs and basement access are blocked off at all times, and rooms remain closed. All interactions between dogs will be supervised and there will never be any forced introductions. If a dog needs time to decompress or prefers their own space, I have multiple safe options available, including an end-table crate in the main living area so they can remain close by while I relax, a standard metal crate, and a dedicated quiet room for dogs that may become overwhelmed or simply need a break. Fresh water is always available. I closely monitor each dog's health, comfort, and behavior throughout their stay and will contact you immediately if there are any concerns. **NOTICE BEFORE BOARDING** SAFETY COMES FIRST. Dog-friendly behavior is required. Dogs that are unfriendly, reactive, or aggressive toward other dogs will not be given priority for boarding requests and may be declined if I believe the environment would not be safe or comfortable for everyone. For the health of all dogs in my care, dogs must be current on required vaccinations and be free of contagious illnesses, fleas, ticks, and other parasites. My home may have multiple dogs. I cannot guarantee that your dog will be the only dog in my home during their stay. If your dog must be the only dog present, my home may not be the right fit. I will always notify owners if another dog will be boarding during your dog's stay. However, there should be no expectations of exclusive boarding.

“Amara agreed to watch my anxious puppy last-minute. He’s afraid of strangers sometimes but took to her immediately. We’ll definitely book again.”
