Doggy Day Care in Killian Crossroads

About: Hello! I'm a stay-at-home mom with two dogs and one cat. In addition to taking care of my own pets, I have fostered numerous dogs of all sizes and ages. My specialty is medium to large, active dogs who need exercise. I enjoy running and hiking, so if you have a dog who needs outdoor time, please contact me! I also have experience with sick animals who need special care. I have nursed several dogs back to health, including fosters and the strays who find me. I'm available to visit your home for your pet's needs, to feed, walk, administer medication, as well as provide transportation to vet appointments. Our house has extra rooms to board and babysit pets. There is plenty of space in our yard and neighborhood for walks, running, and playtime. I'm excited to meet you and your pet to see how I can be there for you! I'm a stay-at-home mom to three older/independent kids and a baby. I am looking forward to getting out of the house to walk your dogs, provide drop-in care, and/or dogsitting and boarding at my home. I have worked with rescue dogs with violent backgrounds or stress from the shelter. I can read their body language and make sure they are comfortable with me and our environment. Your dog will stay on a leash unless we are in a fenced area. My backyard is fenced in, and I have a finished basement with kennels if your dog needs a quiet place. My two dogs are very friendly, so if your dog is interested in playing, they will be introduced. My dogs are up-to-date on their vaccines.

“Nancy was absolutely wonderful! She graciously accepted my VERY last minute booking request, was easy to communicate/coordinate with, and a breeze for drop off and pick up. She was just what Mandy needed as we train her separation anxiety. I loved the pictures she sent of their time together. Was very nice to know my pup was in safe, loving hands! And her backyard looks like a dog’s paradise which was perfect for Mandy’s addiction to ball throwing!!”

About: I have had 3 dogs and 10 cats in the last 40 years. I also sit for my son’s dogs as needed. I have some time due to being retired. I am retired and available Monday thru Friday. I can also be available on Weekends on special requests. Available thru out the day. I do require 1-2 day notice. I have a fenced yard and we have a spare room that can accommodate a dog. We have a medium size cage available to use.

About: We both work from home, fenced in yard, and live on cul-de-sac street. We are not looking to be a kennel so we only allow one additional dog (to our two) so we can give your dog our full attention! There is a dog play area in the neighborhood and lots of sidewalks for regular walks. We have two older children (15 and 16) that have been taught how to be a pack leader so they know how to act around dogs. We have many years of experience watching and caring for dogs and we have met so many amazing dogs and owners through this process. We are still friends with many of them! We are not a kennel but rather a friendly service for a very small number of dogs & their owners who need a short term home for their friend while they are away. This way we can provide maximum attention to each of our furry guests :) All dogs accepted must be kid friendly and fully house trained! We live in an HOA community so no barkers please :) A portion of our proceeds are donated to Project Halo (helping neglected / unwanted dogs find loving homes).

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and love them! I have experience in watching dogs with hip problems and administering medication orally. I also have a cat and she’s had some issues in the past where she needed medication administered orally, through her ears and eyes. I absolutely adore any and all animals and would love to help you! My wife and I run the it businesses together! Since she is stay at home she is available for your pets needs all the time! We offering services Sunday- Saturday and she’s here all day. If she goes out it’s for no more than a couple hours at a time for groceries or necessities. I work over night during the week day so during the day and on weekends I’m home to play and take care of your pets! We strive to keep your pets happy and safe all day long! I love to give your pets the best time they can have while you’re away! Well play outside and inside with their favorite toys and of course give them treats when they’ve been good! And on rainy days we’ll cuddle up on the couch together or play their favorite games inside!

“Natalie was great. She accommodated our last minute booking and us running a little late.”

“Ryan was very quick to respond and accepted our last minute request. He was flexible on drop off and pick up. He and his family took great care of our dog. 10/10 would use him again!”

About: I have been a dog owner for most of my life and am an avid dog lover and pet caregiver. For over ten years, I have cared for pets not only personally but also for family members and friends. Currently, I have two dogs that we’ve had since they were puppies: an elderly Shih Tzu Maltese mix who is living his best life, and a miniature schnauzer who is incredibly sweet but dislikes being left alone. We also have a cat who graciously allows us to live with her. In the past, I have owned birds, fish, and guinea pigs, so I am comfortable handling a variety of pets at all life stages. I have a very flexible schedule, being home most days, which allows me to provide your pets with excellent care and plenty of one-on-one attention. I am organized and detail-oriented, so you can count on me to care for your pets according to their specific needs and your wishes. I would like to understand your expectations, your pets' needs, and their quirks to do an exceptional job for both of you. Please inform me of any medical issues, anxiety, leash aggression, jumping, hiding, licking, or escaping behaviors. If I have any questions or concerns at any point, I will reach out to you immediately. I appreciate the special love and patience required for senior pet care, and I also remember the energetic puppy stages well, enjoying the opportunity to care for both. I will interact with your pet according to their preferences and yours. This may include walks, fetch, cuddles, scratches, quick chats, feedings, and water changes. Just let me know what you are looking for. As a homeowner, I understand the responsibility of providing excellent care for your pet and home. If you hire me for drop-ins or house/pet sitting, you can rest assured that you will return to everything as it should be. Having used pet sitting services in the past myself, I understand how crucial great care, trust, and communication are.

“Loki's been such a happy little dude since starting daycare with Monica and Freddy! They send photos and updates throughout the day and are extremely communicative the whole time. I couldn't be more grateful!”

“Keith was great and helped us out when we wanted to go out to dinner for a few hours! He watched our sweet pup Noomi and kept us updated with pictures and videos! Thanks Keith, we will for sure book again!!”

About: Hi! I’m McKenzie and I’m a full-time Rover sitter with over 4 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Because pet care is my full-time focus, your pets will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and love throughout the day. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always make sure they stay on their normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands! Pet care is part of my daily routine because I’m currently working full-time through Rover, which means I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I make sure to structure my day around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and relaxation time so they stay comfortable and happy while you’re away. I truly love spending time with animals, so caring for them doesn’t feel like work to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take seriously. My goal is always to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they are closely supervised and kept on their normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime so they feel relaxed and secure. I love spending time outdoors with dogs for walks, exercise, and playtime, but I always make sure pets are leashed and safely supervised when outside. My yard is currently not fenced in, so I prioritize safe neighborhood walks and structured outdoor time to keep pets active and happy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would want for my own home, while making sure their pets stick to the routines they’re used to. Communication is also very important to me, so I’m happy to follow any special instructions and provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for.

About: I have taken care of my household dogs for over 20 years now. I joined the military in 2016 as a dog trainer and instantly fell in love with the profession. When I separated from the military in 2022, I continued to board pets as well as train dogs for private companies as well as for my business. This is my full time job, so it is not about how your pet fits into my schedule because my schedule revolves around your pets! I live in a 3 level home where I have one level dedicated to boarding and training. So it’s plenty of space to run around inside, or outside on my 1.3 acre lot. I will provide continuous updates and transparent communication.

“We were very satisfied with our dog sitter Erin. This was Denver's very first experience being left with a sitter and she made him feel relaxed and safe. We were a little late because of traffic and she was very understanding. Would definitely use her again if we were in the area and highly recommend her.”

“Kaylynne is such a SWEET young lady! We had to leave early to get up to Swannanoa where we were helping yesterday and she allowed me to drop our dog off before 8. My dog is still completely in puppy brain mode at 10 months old. She won’t run off at home as I use a training leash and she is focused on what we are doing and playing when I release her on to run and bring back her toy or visit our neighbor’s dog Our Puppy became anxious around 3 yesterday and she apparently remembered how to crawl up a fence like she did in her exercise corral months ago and she jumped over. She ran towards the road and Kaylynne tried to coax her back. Our dog had become anxious, Kahlynne explained, as it was her first time in doggie daycare. Kahlynne ended up calling me and I asked her to put me on speaker phone. I was able to call out and speak to our pup. It helped her to come back towards Kajlynne where she was able to take hold of her. She kept my precious fur baby in her house until I got back down the Mtn as fast as I could. I truly appreciate Kaylynne and all she did. Her own dogs are so sweet and she has a large fenced in backyard area where the dogs are free to run and play.”

About: I have been around animals my whole life. I live on a farm with a variety of different animals inside and outside of the home. I am a single mom so my availability is flexible. I have other animals of my own that are here as well that they would have to play with or be secluded whatever they wanted or need. All animals are welcome in the house. I live on a large amount of land where they would be free to roam wherever with supervision. Included I do have an air conditioned tiny home that is welcome to them as well.

About: Hi there! I’ve been providing here and there animal care for others longer than I’d like to admit! Over 25 years! Family, friends, neighbors, co workers… and I’ve witnessed all the fun happening on Rover. I want in! I’ll love your babies like my own! I work from home and they will get lots of care and attention according to your rules and requirements. I work from home and love their energy, sweet eyes and companionship! I am up early too for early risers. They truly are one of life’s greatest gifts! I can easily allow them in my large fenced in backyard and take them for multiple walks daily. I have had many dogs in my care over the years and can observe signs to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable.
