Doggy Day Care Lakeshore

About: I grew up in a small village in Siberia. The one constant that I saw every day was animals. My mother loved every kind of dog and every kind of cat. I learned from a young age that I would love them all too. I have a gentle, patient, and loving nature that makes animals feel comfortable around me, and makes me a comforting companion for them as well. When I moved to America, my husband worked for Rover. I began going with him to care for animals and discovered that I would like to help pet people when they need some help with their furry friends. So, if you'd like to help me spend some time with cute pets, I'd love to help you receive great care for your pups and kitties. Don't play Russian Roulette with your precious companions. Let me be there to help! I am a stay at home mom, so I am always present in the home. I have 2 children under 2, but I spend a lot of time teaching them kindness to animals. If I am in your home, I will treat it with the respect and care that I treat my own home. If your pets are in my home, they will be treated with dignity and love. I keep my house clean and in good condition so that it is a pleasant environment for everyone.

About: I’ve lived with and cared for all types of dogs and cats since I was a young child. I care for friends and family member’s pets throughout the years. My family and I love animals and are dedicated to providing a caring and fun environment for your pet. I work from home and have plenty of time to walk and play with pups. We love our pups and kitty and walk Mollie and Hollie at least a mile everyday. We have a large park with a lake full of interesting smells for pups to explore. We are used to dietary restrictions and can adapt to any personality. You can drop your pet off and relax knowing they are cared for by a loving family. I currently work from home so I have plenty of time to take multiple walks a day and play in the yard with your pup. We feed our animals in the morning and evening and we all snuggle together on the bed at night. I have a fenced in yard and a dog door so your pup may go in and out as often as they like. Some pups can’t figure out the dog door so I am here to let them in and out as needed. We take at least one long walk a day and play fetch in the yard. Pups are welcomed to sleep in our room if they are more comfortable there.

“Heather is so great with my pup Atticus. She tailors her card to fit the needs of my dog. She takes extra precautions around my pups special diet. Atticus just loved playing with her and her pup Murray. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. She loves my pup like he is her own.”

About: my current dog has suffered with an abusive owner before I rescued him and before he did not want me to touch him or pet him but now he never wants to be let go! lol I personally think it will help me so much to be more responsible with my daily routines and to learn also to be an adult now that I'm 18. But of course there is nothing to worry about because I will take care of your dogs like they were my own! Your dog gets a secure, loving space at my home with constant supervision, a fenced yard, and my full attention the entire stay. He/She will enjoy their time here at my home.

“Super responsive and took wonderful care of my dog! Will definitely be using again.”

“Andrea was wonderful and super sweet with my anxious pup. He warmed up to her in no time and has gotten comfortable in her care. She sent many pictures keeping me updating on how he was doing - thank you so much!”

About: We've had our dog, Arlo, for four wonderful years since he was rescued in Texas. Both of us grew up with dogs, so we've always had a love for them. Arlo was a "code-red" rescue due to his fear of humans, but it's been incredibly rewarding watching him grow more comfortable and become a loving part of our home. He’s an amazing learner, and we’ve even taught him many tricks along the way! About our home: My fiancé and I both work from home, so we’re around almost all the time while your dog stays with us. We have a medium-sized fenced backyard where your dog can explore and play. We also have plenty of room inside to separate the dogs if they need their own space. Autumn has experience working with HABIT, a program with school social work dogs, and she absolutely loved it. Before your dog’s stay, feel free to share any details about their daily routine, special behaviors, digging habits, or food restrictions so we can make sure they’re comfortable. As a heads-up, since neither of us are professional dog carers, we’re unable to accept dogs that are aggressive, overly reactive, or need intensive medical care. My fiancé and I both work from home full time so there will almost always be someone home. On the weekends we may run some errands occasionally but aren’t ever gone for more than a couple hours because of Arlo. We have a medium size fenced in backyard that your dog is welcome to roam while they are here. Arlo is a fairly energetic playmate and will happily chase around the backyard with any dog willing to play along. Inside we have plenty of space for separation/decompression if needed for any reason. Communication is something that we value. We are very responsive and will send updates with photos of your pup during its stay.

“Rebekah went above and beyond our expectations. She anticipated our needs, eased our minds, and my dog was excited to go back to see her the next 2 days as well. She took great care of our German Shepherd, constantly kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and texts, and followed every little instruction and ask we had. She is the best sitter!”

About: I have experience with all age groups. I love to spoil them. My husband has said that dogs can sense a dog lover. All dogs need love. We do not have any pets right now and I miss them terribly. Our dogs were spoiled with love. I currently work full time, usually swing shift (2:00-12:30) a vacation relief line with my job. I will have my husband available for support since he is retired. I/we have a big fenced in back yard so they can run around and play. There are plenty of toys for your kiddos to enjoy.

“Heather is so nice! The house & yard accommodations are terrific with plenty of space for the puppies to run and play. Our dog loved spending time at Heathers and looks forward to going again next week!! Thank you!!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has cared for both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I’ve had pets my entire life, and caring for animals is something that comes very naturally to me. I have hands-on experience fostering puppies and dogs, where I take care of all their daily needs until they are adopted. This includes feeding, potty training, obedience training, socialization, and helping them adjust to new environments. Because of this, I’m very comfortable working with young puppies, high-energy dogs, and pets that may need a little extra patience and structure. I also have two cats with health conditions that require daily medication, so I am very experienced and comfortable administering medications to cats and dogs. I understand how important it is to follow care instructions closely and keep pets calm and comfortable during the process. I treat every pet like they are my own—with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, senior, or needs special care, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My husband and I both work from home, so there is almost always someone here with the pets. If one of us needs to step out, the other is home, which means your pet will rarely (if ever) be left alone. We’re homebodies and truly enjoy being at home with animals, so I’m available for boarding and daycare 7 days a week. Your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I have a fully fenced backyard where your dog can safely play and explore. Our home backs up to a park with access to miles of trails, so your pup will get plenty of fun and enriching walks. Pets are welcome on furniture, including the bed, so they can feel comfortable and at home. If needed, I can easily crate your dog and follow any specific routines you have in place. For cats, I have a separate area of the home where they can relax without being bothered by dogs. I also provide cat trees, scratching posts, and toys to keep them comfortable, stimulated, and happy during their stay.

“Ryan was wonderful. Mowgli has gone to him for daycare several times now and she always has a blast. He always takes the pups for a pack walk and sends sweet picture updates. Great communication, very accommodating, and great with the pups. Highly recommend!”

“Shayla was wonderful. She took very good care of my Orion and was very communicative. She sent me many pictures!🥰 I also appreciated that she took the time to make sure the dogs got along and fortunately they all did very well together! 🙂 Would 100% use her again whenever I am back in this area 10/10.”

“She took care of our pet like she was her own. Very pleased.”
