Doggy Day Care Lakeside

About: I've grown up with dogs and cats and have never lived without one! From puppies to seniors- I've cared for them all. I currently have one 13-year-old dog and live on 1.5-acres. I took a break from Rover after my other dog passed. I treat my pets as my children and would make sure your dogs are cared for in the same way while they stay with me. As a pet owner, I know firsthand how stressful it is leaving your pets, and I will do everything I can to make the experience smooth and enjoyable. I am home all day so I am availale to care for your animals all throughout the day. I am also available weekends and overnight. I have 1.5 acres that is partially fenced in, making outdoor play a breeze. I have one other friendly dog. There is plenty of space within the house to play as well and each dog can have their own space when needed.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 8 years old and got my very first dog. I love all types of dogs, I can even handle aggressive dogs with ease! I always love to spend my free time with animals. Any availability I have is used to to go towards my pets and hopefully yours! I never let animals I don't know very well be off leash outside without my supervision, it is dangerous to me to be careless like that. I never take it too fast and id love to scedule a meet and greet.

“Addie and her family are great with our Batman. He’s very sweet and energetic and loves playing with her family and pups. He had the best time and we will be repeat clients for sure.”

About: I have been grooming dogs for over 18 years, and boarding clients' pups in my home for 16 years. My 13 yr old homeschooled son and I adore all dogs. We have 2 wonderful medium sized girls (Myla 8, Josie 1.5) who love all dogs and people! My career in grooming means I truly 'speak dog' and understand their quirks and needs. I have extensive experience with all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I'm comfortable administering oral and injectible medications, as well as supplements. Our dogs eat a raw diet, so food & water bowls get sterilized after each meal. Since we homeschool, we spend a lot of time at home or close by with friends. My son often has friends over who love to play with dogs. This means we have a great balance of calm & quiet time, as well as active & fun time. Our lovely property has Invisible Fence for about a acre, so any dogs trained on it get to enjoy lots of untethered play time. Every dog who stays gets a temporary ID tag with my address and phone number in case of accidental 'escape' We love couch cuddles, and both of our girls sleep in bed with my son. We also have dog beds everywhere, and crates & gates available when needed.

“This was for a meet and greet with my dog Rumor. Christine and her Mom seemed like lovely ladies who are around through the day to care for their guest dogs. We will strongly consider Christine for Daycare and Boarding in the future.”

“Nell is wonderful. Super flexible with arranging time to drop off and pick up. Dizzy loves staying here. He would run down the steps to the front door! I would definitely recommend her for any pet care needs !”

About: I’ve always had pets growing up. Over the past 20 years I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, cats, rabbits, turtles, snakes, and hamsters. I love animals more than most humans. My sister is also a vet which is super handy to have. I currently work from home so I can be present and then I have down time I can play and tend to my furry house guest. I have a room for my dogs with a very bring crate, beds and toys. When I have furry guests I can always alternate my dogs in the room or the furry guest into that room. They could also wonder around the apartment as well. My building complex also has a dog park which is nice to run around and play.

“Kevin was so patient with Winnie! I really appreciated the pictures and check ins throughout the day, long walks and flexibility with his schedule & mine. I would 100% recommend and will be coming back! His pup is super friendly as well”

“Rockie had a wonderful time playing chase with her new doggie friends in the back yard and came home a tired and happy pup after a wonderful day with Khanh and Tommie, She will stay with them again!”

About: I am an animal lover here to help! I grew up with animals, and have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I also owned ducks and chickens for several the years. I have many years experience with a variety of medical issues pertaining to dogs and cats, including allergies and epilepsy. I also have years of experience in dog and puppy training (not professionally), including adopting my own puppy 2 years ago. That same puppy is now approved and undergoing training to be a psychiatric service dog. My other 2 dogs are also well trained. Although we’re happy to take it easy, we also love to hike and would be happy to take your dog along! I work with animals full time and love it! My schedule changes based on the needs of my clients for that week, and I adjust as needed. My pets are my babies! I have a fenced in yard, with a dog door to access it. It does close, and can be kept closed during the day if needed as my dogs are extremely well trained, and also have the option to access to my home office (a separate building in the back yard) if needed. They have full range and free access to the downstairs, except we discourage them being in the kitchen. Our dogs are kept from the upstairs by a secured baby gate. They are allowed up there, just usually attended because the puppy sometimes confuses her human sisters toys for her own! We have a large property with a trail that we take our dogs up to, and also live very close to several hiking trails that we frequent. One of our dogs had to retire from long walks and hikes, so he stays home now, but he still loves a good car ride and a short easy walk!

About: Dogs thrive on calm structure and that’s exactly what I provide. I create a controlled, low stress environment where dogs are calm, well managed, and set up for success. I’m a sitter with formal training in dog behavior, and I’m currently continuing my education through an accredited, science based training program. My approach goes beyond basic pet sitting, I focus on structure, clear boundaries, and reading behavior to prevent issues before they start. I specialize in dogs that need structure and guidance, whether that’s anxious dogs, easily overstimulated dogs, or dogs adjusting to a new environment. My focus is helping dogs stay calm, regulated, and comfortable, not just physically tired. Every dog is handled intentionally and with clear structure, not as part of a chaotic group setting. Pet care is my full-time work, so your dog’s routine becomes part of my routine. Meals, walks, rest, enrichment, and any training cues you already use are followed as consistently as possible. I keep things structured and predictable so dogs, especially anxious, reactive, or easily overstimulated ones, can settle in and feel secure. My home is structured, supervised, and calm, not a chaotic group setup or a free for all. Dogs are introduced thoughtfully, given clear boundaries, and supported with a predictable routine so they feel safe and secure. I tailor the environment to each dog, including decompression time, quiet space, and supervised social time only when appropriate. My focus is always on behavior, safety, and preventing overstimulation or unsafe situations. My approach is best suited for dogs who can follow structure and benefit from a calm, well-managed environment. I am not a good fit for dogs that rely on constant high energy group play or a completely unstructured routine.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, growing up with a Yellow Lab who was part of my family for 15 wonderful years. Today, I’m lucky to have two rescue dogs of my own, Ellie and Bobby, who I adopted through Companion Pet Rescue. I’ve been volunteering with Companion Pet Rescue for over a year, and I’ve also cared for dogs on and off over the years for friends, family, and Rover clients. These experiences have given me an appreciation for how unique every dog is and how important it is to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am flexible with my schedule on the weekends and will try my best to accommodate your needs. Just let me know what services you are looking for and I will confirm my availability. I have a fenced in yard which my dogs love to play in. I also take them for walks, runs, or hikes! My home is very clean and quiet. Making it a safe space for your pets that you can feel comfortable leaving them.

“Kyle was incredible and we will definitely book again. Excellent communication before and after the stay and exceptionally accommodating when we needed to change the schedule. Our pup had a great time. Definitely recommend!”

About: I started off rescuing my cats to helping neighborhood strays find a loving home. I know how important our furry friends are which is why I will take care of your pet as if they were my own. I love interacting with them. Spending time with your little ones will make my day. Don’t worry your pets will be in good hands. I am reliable, honest and responsive. I will reply back within 24 hours. Also I have a flexible schedule, if you need me to take care of your pet outside of my schedule something can be arranged. Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile. I’m currently working full time but I’ll make sure to set time aside to care for another pawsome friend when in need! They’re all so adorable! I’m constantly making sure my pets are hydrated, well fed and have unlimited amount of love at all times. Not to mention treats and toys are one of the best ways to their hearts

“I have been taking my two dogs to Stephen for daycare every week for a few months now and I am very happy with the care he provides to my pups. He is very reliable, attentive and kind. My dogs love him and feel very comfortable in his house. I feel very lucky to have found him.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, from dogs and cats to hedgehogs, lizards and birds I can take care of anything! I currently have a Sphynx named Simon and a pair of Sugar Gliders, Kiwi and Roo! I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to be able to offer my services at anytime anyday. I work part time and can create my own schedule. I will take care of your pets the same way I take care of my own, our pets are family members and have a special place in our hearts. Your pets will be in good hands with me!

“Maria did exceptional with my baby Snoopy! I was really scared since he suffers from extreme anxiety (He’s a rescue dog). He did great with Maria. She kept me informed and would send me pictures. She was very caring, gentle and comforting. Snoopy did very well with transition. I will definitely rebook with Maria.”

“Bruce, you are amazing! Sweet Pea loves spending time with you and we love that she trots off so happily when we drop her off. Thank you for knowing her so well!”

“Seems like my boys adjusted well to a new environment and humans. My youngest fur baby can be very anxious at times and I have a very senior fur baby that needed extra TLC. I was glad to have someone that understand the specific needs of my babies. I am excited for their next visit!!!”
