Doggy Day Care in Lake Monticello

About: I have had dogs since I can remember! I have worked in kennels and dog grooming. I have worked with all different breeds and sizes. I have raised and trained many dogs of all breeds. Currently, I work from home, so my schedule is flexible. I have a 9 year old daughter who has been raised with all animals and is very comfortable around dogs. I have a fenced in yard and a golden retriever who is super friendly! I do have a crate in my house if that is needed/preferred.

“This was my first time using the Rover app and booking with Hannah was super easy. I'm so grateful that she was able to accodmodate a very late request, literally a day before to care for my puppy while I had to work and my hubby out of town. He seemed to have had a wonderful time with Hannah and her pets. I appreciated the updates about my pup during his stay. We love Hannah and look forward to booking with her again if needed. Thank you Hannah!”

“I am so blessed to have found Tamara and double blessed that she lives so close to me. Perry took to her right away and he loves her dog Ollie. I am so happy that my baby now has somewhere to go and have some interaction during the week. I’m excited to have a learn long-term caregiver for Perry.”

“Paula took excellent care of our dog Loki. We were visiting from out of town and need a place for Loki while we visited older relatives. Paula was good with communication and Loki came back all happy. Definitely recommend!”

“Bertie was amazing! It was my first time using Rover as a pet owner, and I needed a sitter for the day while on vacation. My puppy is still fairly young and is very attached to me, but she appeared to settle in pretty quickly and have a great time with some other pups. Bertie stayed in touch while I was out, sending pics and updates, and even recommended some great local spots to check out. Super happy with this experience!”

Danielle M.

“Mary and her family did such an amazing job taking care of Buttercup. I definitely felt very comfortable each day and prior to booking. Mary worked with my early morning drop offs and long work hours which is much appreciated. The frequent pictures and updates were an added bonus. I definitely look forward to booking in the future! Thank you so much again”

Joy M.

“Rebecca was amazing! She met with me before watching my dogs and she was very loving and attentive to both of them. She kept me informed about how they did while I was gone and kept the report card up-to-date. She left my house very clean and she was very respectful. I would definitely use her again!”

Susan W.

“Kyle and Meagan were absolutely AWESOME! They even got my grumpy guy to have fun. That never happens, never. We are on vacation and it was a great burden lifted to know that there are such great people to leave our dogs with! Thank you guys so much!”

“Jessica is amazing!!! Our dog Lou had a blast staying at her house for the day! She loved playing in the yard with Jessica’s dog and another dog she was caring for. I couldn’t be happier to know Lou is in her care knowing she’s getting lots of cuddles and playtime. Thank you Jessica!!”

“So glad I recently found Carolyn for occasional doggie daycare support for my sometimes-anxious Doodle. She was so responsive and clearly cares deeply for dogs!”

About: When my rather difficult but beloved rescue passed away in November 2024, I realized for the first time how integral dogs are to living a happy and healthy life. In April 2025, I decided it was time to add a new addition to my family, and I now have a 7 month old female German Shepherd, Pilar (who I'm pretty sure is a Golden Retriever trapped in a Shepherd's body). Pilar is the most friendly dog you'll ever meet, and she LOVES to play with other dogs. I am constantly searching for quality day care for her, and I find it's difficult to find someone who is truly reliable and provides safe, clean, and comfortable care. So I've decided to take matters into my own hands and invite pups into my home. When your dog stays with me, she's going to enjoy all of the comforts she's accustomed to at home. Whether that be napping on the couch, playing in the fenced-in backyard, or lounging at my feet while I work from home. I even have a couple of crates if you'd prefer your pup enjoy crated nap time. I've had pets my entire life and have plenty of experience with animals of all types and all personalities, including damaged rescues. I've been through extensive training with Pilar and am happy to apply the skills I've learned when working with your dog, as well. My main goal with providing this service is to create an environment where pups who really enjoying playing with each other can do so safely and comfortably while enjoying the kind of care they're accustomed to at home. Please note that I have a 10 year old cat, and while she knows how to hold her ground with dogs, I cannot accept any pups who don't tolerate cats or who would put her safety at risk. I work from home full-time so pet care is woven into the fabric of my daily routine. I can support hourly potty breaks and am able to take frequent breaks for walks, playtime, mealtime, potty time, snuggles, etc. I have a fenced in yard where dogs will be let out for supervised play and potty breaks. Depending on the time of year and your preference, I have a small doggy pool so that dogs can play in the water to release energy. Indoors, dogs are welcome on the couch and on the dog beds. During nap time, I can crate your pup if you prefer, or she can be loose. The only place that's off limits are my two guest bedrooms.

“Charissa, Thank you so much for going the extra mile this week. You made a difficult week possible to survive :) I appreciate you and Levi loves you and all of his BFFs! Have a wonderful weekend.”

About: I am part owner of a dog training business and have dog trainers on premises. I’ve had dogs in my life since I can remember. I believe dogs are the best medicine for anyone. I limit myself to only a few dogs at a time so that I can ensure each pup gets all the love, attention and care they need while their owners are away. I am a remote worker, so I am home nearly 24/7 so your pup will be well cared for and treated as though a member of the family while staying with me. I cater to what each dog needs. Your dog will never be left alone unattended while staying with me. I have 6 acres so there is plenty of opportunity to explore.

About: Please note we're in the Zion Crossroads area. We take one dog at a time so our schedule can be limited. We've had different pets since we were kids including dogs, cats, fish, chickens, and cows. We had 3 pups whom all passed in 2023. This past year we added a playful but gentle medium sized labradoodle to our family. So, we joined Rover this year. Your pup will be a member of our family during their stay. They are allowed on furniture during the day but are typically crated at night (per your guidance). We have a small fenced area in front yard and an extra large fenced area in back. Pups must be house broken. Please note, our pup Ozzie is one year old and an active pup. So, may not be the best fit for senior dogs. We're retired so typically someone is always home. We do crate our pup if we leave our home. And crate your pup as appropriate. We're able to let pups out according to your schedule. The health and safety of our pup and your pup is a top priority. Our home is fenced in at the front door area area and an extra large area in rear. Our home is puppy proofed as our pup just turned one. We have a zero tolerance to aggressive dogs whom will be separated during a stay and not permitted to return. Please provide proof of vaccines including Rabies, Bordatella, DAPP/DHPP and Leptospirosis (your Vet should be able to email you a copy). Date of last flea/tick and heartworm medication (these meds are important to us to prevent fleas and round worm at our property). Please only bring food and treats for the time period booked (a little extra for emergencies). Please let us know of any allergies. We provide blankets, bowls, toys and crates as needed. We wash all blankets and clean crates with every pet sitting.

“Athena had another amazing time with Svitlana at her home! They played in the backyard and met a new dog friend, which got Athena into the nap mode. Look forward to our next meeting!”

“Very good experience! Kettu had a great time with the other two pups, and Allison was very communicative, and sent pictures! Thanks so much, we will be back!”

About: I’m a mom of two, proud dog owner, and lifelong animal lover who understands just how important it is to know your pets are cared for like family when you’re away. With two dogs of my own, I know the joy of long walks, playtime, and snuggles—and I bring that same energy and love to every pet I care for. I balance my career in marketing with the things I enjoy most: playing pickleball, cheering on college football, hiking, and spending time outdoors in nature. I’m reliable, responsible, and detail-oriented, which means you can trust me to not only care for your pets but also look after your home with the same level of responsibility I give to my own. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just keeping your pets company, I’d love to make sure they’re happy, safe, and well-loved while you’re away. Work from home primarily so plenty of time for outdoor fun and bathroom breaks. Schedules are flexible to meet your needs so just let me know how we can help! When I’m caring for dogs in someone else’s home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as normal and consistent as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, or favorite play activities—so the dogs feel comfortable and secure. I always give them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also respecting the home by keeping things neat, tidy, and safe. My goal is to make sure both the pets and their owners feel at ease, knowing that their dogs are happy, cared for, and loved while they’re away.

“When I dropped off my puppy, Skye, her tail was between her legs and when I returned that night, she was giving Amber kisses! Skye is very unsure of new people and it takes her time to warm up. Amber was very patient and caring with Skye and sent photos. When I arrived for pick up, Amber was literally dancing with Skye to get her comfortable around people making sudden movements. Thank you Amber! I will be using her services again.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and truly love working with them. Since the age of 10, I’ve looked after dozens of dogs, volunteered at multiple shelters, and trained two puppies. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes from tiny 8 pound pups to large 100 pound dogs. I would be honored to watch your dog and can promise they’ll receive plenty of attention, care, and love while in my hands. I already have a dog to walk on a daily basis and I am home for most of every day. I will have the free time to take care of your dog to the best of my ability. I have a dog crate, homemade dog house, and an organized 3 story house the dog can stay in and roam around. There is a small front yard and a large area outback for space to walk.
