Doggy Day Care Lake Park

About: I grew up taking care of pets in my immediate family as well as friends and neighbors pets. I have over 5 years of experience taking care of a different variety of animals. I work part time as well as I take college classes online. I have no problem moving around my schedule to accommodate as best I can. Saturdays I am typically available after 5 pm I have a large fenced in yard and the sweetest mini Aussie that loves company. I also have a rabbit that is dog/cat friendly but is in his own room and enclosure.

“Sharon is so amazing and loving with the boys, and they love her. After TJ was hurt at home and I needed a vet appointment ASAP, she took the boys to the vet for me since I had to work, and gave him all his meds and took such great care of the boys! My highest recommendation!”

About: From a young age, my passion for animals has been a lifelong commitment. My deep connection began with rescuing a stray kitten at five years old, and since then, I have devoted my life to being a compassionate caretaker. This includes rescuing and rehabilitating injured animals I find, and regularly helping neighbors by caring for their pets. My entire life has been surrounded by animals, and I treat every one as if they are my own. I currently share my home with two dogs, whom I consider my world. My remote work arrangement provides a flexible schedule, which means I have the availability to seamlessly integrate pet care in to my weekly or daily routine. I have a fenced in yard and live in a very pet friendly neighborhood, allowing me to exercise your pets, by walking or letting them run loose in the backyard. When it comes to watching pets in clients home, I will adhere to there instructions, respecting there home and privacy.

About: I've cared for a range of pets, from a litter of kittens to a pack of rottweilers. In my 10 years of experience, including caring for family pets and volunteering with animal shelters, I've demonstrated my belief of treating every pet as if it were my own. I'm available during the weekdays and weekends to care for your furry friend! Please message me your preferred schedule, and I'll kindly work around you. With no other pets in my home, your pet will have my undivided attention. I'll be in as much or as little communication as you prefer (such as daily updates).

“Thanks Toni for taking great care of our Nessie! Toni was very flexible and easy to communicate with, highly reccomend.”

About: Your dog will be treated like family in my home. I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment where your pup can feel comfortable, relaxed, and happy. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have years of hands on experience caring for them from playful puppies to more relaxed, older dogs. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just giving them lots of affection and attention. Your dog will never be left alone for long periods. They’ll get plenty of exercise, structured playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I also reinforce good behavior with positive encouragement (and treats, if approved!). My pup, Riley is very friendly, social, and used to being around other dogs. She loves having company and enjoy playing, running, and interacting in a safe and supervised way. I take pride in making sure every dog in my care feels comfortable, loved, and right at home. I’m happy to follow any specific routines, feeding schedules, or care instructions you provide. My schedule is very flexible, so I can easily accommodate feeding times, walks, play sessions, and any specific routines your dog is used to. Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks, lots of exercise, or just companionship, I’m able to adjust to their needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and loving environment where every dog is treated like family. In my home, I make sure all dogs are supervised at all times, with a safe space to relax and plenty of room for play. I introduce dogs to each other carefully and only allow interaction if they are comfortable and friendly. I follow each dog’s specific routine and care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any special needs. I also keep a close eye on behavior to make sure your dog is happy, stress free, and safe. For walks, I use secure leashes and stay alert to the surroundings to ensure your dog is always protected. I never leave dogs unattended outside and always prioritize safe, controlled environments. If I’m caring for your dog in your home, I will respect your space, follow your instructions carefully, and keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible to reduce stress. Communication is very important to me, I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel at ease while you’re away!

“Gema has a nice home and furnishings for dog boarding and day care. Wrigley was the only dog under Gema's care today and he obviously had a nice time with her. We would us Gema for future engagements.”

About: What sets me apart is 25 years of hands-on experience caring for all types of dogs. I provide loving, patient, and reliable care for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs. I also have experience caring for dogs with special needs and understand the extra attention, patience, and gentle handling they require. Every pet in my care is treated like family, with focus on safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. In addition to pet sitting I have succesfully rescued and find forever homes for over 100 pets while volunteering for animal shelters throughout my adult life. Pet sitting is more than a job to me, its my true passion and what I love to do, as I always say I love animals more than people lol. Your baby will be at their home with me. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to make sure they get consistent attention, feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I keep a flexible routine so each pet gets personalized care based on their needs and energy level. I provide high-quality, attentive pet care in my home, creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where each dog can feel at ease. I maintain their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest schedules. Dogs receive constant supervision, affection, and personalized attention throughout the day. With 25 years of experience, I am especially skilled in caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs, always adapting to each dog’s personality and level of care required.

About: I bring genuine enthusiasm and reliability to every pet I care for. With my afternoons and evenings consistently available, I'm there when most pet owners need help- during the workday stretch when dogs need a break and that important evening routine when you're stuck at the office. What makes my approach different is that I truly pay attention to each pet's individual personality. Some dogs need a high-energy adventure walk, while others prefer a leisurely stroll with plenty of sniff breaks. I adapt to what makes your pet happiest and most comfortable, not what's easiest for me. I'm observant and communicative. If I notice anything unusual- a change in appetite, energy level, or behavior- I'll let you know right away. I understand that pets can't tell us when something's wrong, so I stay alert and keep you informed with regular photo updates. I also respect that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I'm punctual, follow instructions carefully, and treat your space with care. You'll never wonder if I showed up or how your pet is doing, I make sure you have that peace of mind. While I'm still growing my professional pet care experience, I approach every dog with patience, care, and a commitment to making sure they feel safe and happy while you're away. Your pet isn't just another appointment on my calendar- they get my full attention and care. Pet care is a natural fit for my schedule and lifestyle. With my part-time job ending in the early afternoon, I'm consistently available from afternoon through evening, which means I can offer flexible walking times, accommodate pets who need midday attention, and be there for evening routines when many pet parents are still at work. I build my week around the pets in my care. I keep my afternoons and evenings open specifically for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your furry family members. This isn't something I squeeze in between other commitments, it's a priority I plan for. My routine includes daily walks for my own household, so adding your pup to our route or stopping by for a visit fits seamlessly into what I'm already doing. I'm also home in the evenings, which means I can handle last-minute requests or provide updates with photos after our time together. Whether your dog needs a consistent daily walk at 3pm or you're looking for someone reliable for afternoon drop-ins, my schedule allows me to be dependable and present for your pet's needs. For dog walking, I tailor each walk to your dog's energy level and needs. I start by learning their temperament, any commands they know, and walking preferences. During walks, I keep them engaged and safe, monitoring their behavior, keeping a secure leash grip, and watching for any signs of discomfort or stress. I always bring water for longer walks, pick up after them, and take different routes to keep things interesting. Before heading out, I ensure doors and gates are properly secured, and when we return, I make sure your pup is settled with fresh water. For drop-in visits, I follow your routine as closely as possible to minimize disruption for your pet. I'll feed them according to your schedule and instructions, refresh water bowls, administer any medications if needed, and give them the attention and playtime they crave. I also do a quick home check, securing doors, bringing in mail or packages if requested, and making sure everything is as it should be. I always send photo updates so you can see your pet is happy and well-cared for while you're away. Safety is my top priority in both services. I'm attentive to your pet's body language, careful about potential hazards during walks (other dogs, traffic, weather), and respectful of your home and belongings during visits. I treat every pet like they're my own and every home like it's my responsibility to protect.

About: I’ve had a dog for 15 years and have taken care of many of my friends, family’s and neighbors dogs as well. I’ve always gotten good reviews and really enjoy spending time with the pups whether it’s feeding them, walking them or playing with them. My schedule is pretty open right now, so I’m very flexible with walking and feeding and boarding. I always prioritize taking care of animals before I attend any other plans. I have a fenced back yard all around with lots of trees for the pups to play in. I also keep small things out of dog’s reach that could be potential chewing or swallowing hazards.

“Marissa and her husband were wonderful. Very warm and welcoming and very friendly; they immediately put you at ease about leaving your pup in their care. The boys loved their time with Marissa, got plenty of walks and scratches, and I got a lot of pictures, which was so nice. Thank you, Marissa! We will definitely be going back, and I would highly recommend them.”

“Christy has a very nice home and furnishings for operating a dog boarding and day care facility. Wrigley spent a long day with Christy and was in good spirits when we came to pick him up. Christy was responsive to our inquiries and was easy to work with. We will definitely work with her again.”

“Gail was great with Charlie. First of all, she stepped in last minute to help us out when another Rover situation fell through. She kept Charlie calm during a massive thunderstorm and he was walked and happy when we picked him up. I would definitely recommend Gail and would use her again in a heartbeat. She has a heart for animals and it shows.”
