Doggy Day Care in Kensington

“Really fortunate to have found Felicia on short notice. Super responsive and Freddy seems to have enjoyed his sitter! Loved the pics sent too!”

About: I’m a licensed veterinarian in Brazil and I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life. My father is a huge dog lover, so I grew up helping care for our family pets from a very young age. In Brazil, I had four dogs who are now happily living with my parents. Here in the U.S., I have my sweet mini Goldendoodle, Madalena, who is very friendly and loves having company. Because of my background in Veterinary Medicine and my lifelong experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, I feel very confident providing safe, responsible, and attentive care. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work at a coffee shop from 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. After 3:30 p.m., I’m fully available for pet care, including walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. On Sundays and Mondays, I’m off from work and available all day for boarding, daycare, and other services. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I offer a calm, clean, and cozy home environment where pets can relax, play, and feel secure. My mini Goldendoodle, Madalena, is very friendly and gentle, which helps visiting dogs feel more comfortable and welcomed. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, I always follow their routine exactly as instructed—feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I’m very attentive to body language and behavior to make sure each dog feels safe, respected, and stress-free. I provide constant supervision when I’m home, lots of love and positive interaction, and a peaceful space where dogs can settle in comfortably. My goal is to make every pet feel like part of the family.

“Cecelia was absolutely wonderful - I could tell my pup had a great day from all the pictures she sent and how well he slept afterwards - he clearly got a lot of exercise!! Would book again!”

“My dog had a great time at Shelby’s house and big back yard. Shelby was very communicative and posted lots of pictures during the stay. When I’m back in the area I will definitely book again!”

“We were having a rough day today and despite our best intentions, we were not giving Little Edie our best. Rose came through and made us look like the dog parents that we try to be. We'll be back often, and we will always be grateful for how you saved the day for our best buddy!”

Todd B.

“Bob and Kathy took great care of Zsa Zsa. They were home all day and I did not worry about my doggy one bit. It is nice that they are close to my house too so I do not need to travel too much. Will use again. Thank you!”

About: Without exception, the dog park is always one of the best parts of my day. I've had three dogs of my own, and have been around countless other dogs, most of whom instantly become my new best friends. We just gravitate to each other, hence the fuzzy friend whisperer nickname. I have a playful, loving attitude toward every dog I meet. I am also sensitive to dogs who need a little more patience and space to ease into trusting me and respect the boundaries that they need to do that. My training style with my own dogs is focused on positive reinforcement rather than punishment. This approach translates to other dogs as well, unless their owners request differently. Your dog will be in caring, responsible hands with me. They will be loved. Vogel Emergency Vet just opened right across the street from our house, so if anything kind of emergency pops up, your baby will be a hop, skip and a jump away from the care they need. I'm self employed and work mostly from home so my schedule is quite flexible. Sometimes I’ll have drop in visits throughout the day, but if your dog is boarding with me, there will generally be someone else at home with them. They’ll rarely, if ever be left alone. I live on a small farm but also live near a road, so your dog will always be safely on a leash when we go outside for potty breaks. I have a very friendly 12 year old 45lb labradoodle named Huck to keep your baby company in the rare cases that I'm not at home. I have a "squirrel observatory" (bird feeder) right near my workspace so your dog will not only be supervised most of the time but also entertained.

“Gracie seemed to love Mike at first sight! And the feeling was mutual. Mike gives great communication all around, his lovely home and enclosed yard is the perfect setting for my high energy pup.”

“Heather was an absolute lifesaver and a fantastic sitter! She jumped in last minute when we needed her, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She provided regular updates with messages and adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was so sweet to hear how my dog enjoy playing together with her dog, enjoyed a little backyard chase, and even went on a car ride! Heather even let my dog borrow a coat for their walk, which was such a thoughtful touch. I truly appreciate all the care and attention she provided, making sure my dog felt comfortable, safe, and well-loved. If you're looking for a reliable, kind, and communicative sitter, Heather is the best! I highly recommend her and would definitely book again.”

“Josh and Nicole were so great with our puppy. First time using them for day care and they helped our pup walk for the first time in a neighborhood!”

About: I've been watching my neighbors dog along with cats and dogs of friends and family for 12 years now. I only work part time now and make my own hours so I have a ton of flexibility in my schedule. I love all animals and want to provide you with stress free pet care. I enjoy walks and work remote so I can fit your pet's needs into my schedule. I have 2 friendly cats and did have a Siberian Husky for over 16 years who crossed over last year. I love walking dogs and do have a small yard and live on a nice walkable street.

“Julie and her family have been taking amazing care of Luca a few days a week for me while I adjust to a new work schedule. They really love him and treat him like their own. I love seeing pictures from their outings and walks! Luca is always excited to see them when I drop him off! As a new puppy mom I was nervous to leave him with anyone but Julie and her family made me feel so at ease. Would 10/10 recommend their services!”

About: For pretty much most of my entire life I’ve had a dog. I gave them all the love I had and they did the same right back at me. Currently we own a beautiful 4yr old Golden named Sammy. He is gentile playful loving and silly. When a dog walks into our home it takes about 30 seconds and just like that Sammys got a new best friend. My business is in insurance sales which has me doing most of my work from home. This allows me to take great care of my dog Sammy and any of his friends. We’ve got a spacious open concept home with a big grassy fenced in back yard for lots of play time. We can also easily crate your dog if needed. Have peace of mind that your doggy will be safe and well cared for by myself as well as Sammy!

“Michele and her husband were so lovely and it was obvious that my 3mo golden retriever puppy, Josie, had a great time with them. Michele sent me the cutest photo updates throughout her stay so I never had to check in on her myself. She was sure to ask about dietary needs/restrictions etc and seemed very knowledgeable about all things “dogs”. I would feel extremely comfortable asking Michele to watch Josie again!”

“Erin was great & fit us in last minute. Bailey enjoyed her time there. We actually booked 2 back to back days cause of events we were going to. At the second drop off, Bailey perked up as soon as we got on her street like she knew where we were going & was excited to go back.”

About: I have always taken care of a dog for as long as I can remember! I absolutely adore all animals! I saved up bought my first dog (Maltese poodle) when I was 13. Now I have 2 amazing dogs now!! I’ve always watched/walked dogs for family and friends. I took care of my friends golden doodle almost weekly in college. I work from home so I have a bunch of downtime to help/care for your animal at all times. I love taking the dogs on walks for exercise! It’s always been a huge part of keeping my own dogs healthy. I have a dog friendly apartment with a massive fenced in dog park. I have 2 dogs (Newfoundland and Australian shepherd) who LOVE other animals.

“Josh and Nicole were kind enough to accept our last minute day care request and our pup had a great time! We were thankful for their flexibility and the extra help in motivating our dog to eat dinner.”

“Kristen and Bobby were great! They were quick to respond and when I left my dog with them I immedietly felt like he was in good hands. You can tell they are dog lovers! They sent updates throughout the day and were patient and understanding of my dog as he got used to being at a new spot.”

About: I have 10 years of experience with all kinds of dogs, including Rotties, Huskies, Shepherds, and Pitties. I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities — from total couch potatoes to pups who just need a little space and patience. I’ve fostered and volunteered with dogs for years, and I’m happy to help with training or just hang out and lounge — whatever your dog needs, I’m here for it 😊 I'm currently in the process of switching jobs so I have an incredibly flexible schedule. I can dog sit or walk during weekends and weekdays. If your dog does better with others I can bring along my own dog whose verryyyy relaxed and easy going. Caring for dogs is about adapting behavior to match theirs, which is where trust is built! If your dog is anxious around a lot of energy, we tone it down. If your dog is a bubbly, there's lots of playing! Body language is key when it comes to our puppies so I always make sure to stay tuned in 🎶

About: Hi there! I have years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I used to walk and watch my neighbor’s dog four nights a week and cared for him overnight whenever she traveled, so I’m very comfortable with regular routines. At home, I’m a proud cat parent to two playful kitties that I’ve raised since they were kittens (now 3 and 2 years old). I also spend a lot of time around friends’ pets, so I’m used to different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. Whether it’s daily walks or just keeping your pets company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for just like my own. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can take breaks for walks, visits, and playtime throughout the day. I’m also available for extended care during the week. In my home, I give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while keeping them on their normal routine. Since I work from home, I can check on them often and make sure they’re comfortable. In a client’s home, I follow their care instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure pets feel safe and happy in their own space.
