Top rated Lake Desolation doggy day care sitters
“Kathy is absolutely amazing! From the moment we dropped off our pup, we could tell he was in great hands. She has a natural way with dogs—warm, attentive, and clearly experienced. We got regular updates with photos, and our dog came home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. Her space is clean, safe, and dog-friendly. We’ll definitely be booking with Kathy again—highly recommend!”
“Julia responded right away when I needed a last minute sit for my dog. We were able to set up a meet and greet the same day and Duggie definitely seemed to enjoy running around her yard and stealing her pup’s toys for the couple hours that I needed to go to work :) Would have no qualms about reaching out to Julia again in the future.”
“Lori is absolutely amazing! Don’t think twice about contacting her. My dog adores her and get so excited when we pull down her street! She is very flexible and I couldn’t ask for someone better to watch my puppy ( who is like my child!) Every day when I pick her up she is so tired from playing all day long and cries when we leave!”
About: I have had either cats or dogs most of my life and always am the one trying to pet any dog I see when I’m out and about, of course with pet parent’s permission. Anytime a family member or friend needs someone to watch their pup I am there go to fur baby caretaker. I currently have an 8 year old cat I rescued and a 5 year old male dog named Buddy. They are best friends. Buddy loves other dogs and loves to play. I work full time during the week with weekends off. I work remote at home Monday, Tuesday and Friday giving me the most freedom for boarding and day care. Most Wednesdays I am home by 2-3 and Thursdays by 5. I have a large yard for your pup to play in but it is not fenced. My dog Buddy loves to play with other dogs and when he has company I always am outside with them. I allow pets on my couches or they can cozy up in their own bed if you would like to bring. If your dog needs to be leashed or walked I can certainly accommodate that. Buddy and I often take walks ourselves.
About: I’ve taken care of many types of pets including dogs, cats, rats, lizards, and many others. My main skills that I prioritize include basic dog training. Structured walks available. I’m currently full time (work from home) and can be available on the specified days I have listed on my profile. Open to specific requests if needed! I care for pets according to the owners specific situation and requests. Please advise on the rules and they will be followed to the best of my abilities !
“Emily was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was very accommodating with our travel schedule.

I am not currently working, but I am a student in college. I attend classes online, so I am almost always at home. I can put a lot of time towards caring for any pets. I have 4 dogs at home, two of which are male and kept outside in a fenced area during the day and in crates at night. There are also two females who stay mainly inside. They usually roam free around the house, but if necessary can be crated.

“My dog had such a great time for day care at Kim’s place! He had fun exploring the fenced yard, playing with the resident dogs, and napping on the doggie bed. We could tell that Kim and her family treated Cash as if he were their own. It was so nice to be able to rely on them knowing that Cash was well cared for. 🙂”

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Been boarding and running daycare full time for 10+ years. I have studied dog behaviors, CPR trained, used to train and have spent my life learning dogs. Part of my business is even making pet products like bow ties, bandanas, toys, healthy treats, signs and organic paw wax. I run my boarding and daycare full time. It is what i live every day. I board 7 days a week and run daycare Wed-Fri We have a large dog specific room which daycare is run out of (while boarding your dog can join daycare for no extra cost) this room has a dog door that leads to the large fenced in yard. Once daycare is complete or dog dependent, the door comes open and the pups join our pack (2) snuggling on the couch and begging in the kitchen 😉
