Dog Sitting Lakeside

“Kendall was absolutely amazing! She stopped by to do a meet and greet on short notice and was also able to check in on Leia for an extra day due to my plans changing. She was so great with Leia and I could tell that Leia really enjoyed her time with Kendall as well. She gave so much attention to Leia while with her, and I really appreciated that. She gave very detailed check ins(with lots of pics), which was so nice as I was out of town. I could not recommend Kendall enough if you are in need of someone to show lots of love to your pup!”

“Anastasia was so amazing to my pups and made me feel so much better about leaving them behind for the first time!! She sent the best pics and I could tell they were so happy with her. I will continue to use her for any future drop ins!!!”

Cam L.

“Sharon has done so amazing with my Cleo, who isn’t very trustworthy of strangers. She easily won over her trust & updated with photos at each drop-in, and made sure she knew everything she needed to know to care for my fur baby. 10/10 recommend!”

Emma G.

“My boy was so shy and nervous with a stranger entering our home without us , but Alexis made sure he felt as comfortable as possible! I appreciated her patience with him and would definitely book again 🫶🏻😊”

About: 🌴 WHO WILL HAVE A BETTER VACATION YOU OR YOUR PUP? 🚤 📸 Here at DOODS ON DOCKS they will have a great staycation on our beautiful lake property. Enjoy your vacation knowing your dog will be as happy as you are over the holidays or your time away. With my services you get what you pay for. Your dog is a family member. They are not left outside, or in a kennel. They're a part of our home. They sleep with us and do everything we do. I have 30 years experience working with dogs through volunteering and fostering thru the Humane Society and Rescues. I'm very dog savey and most dogs realize I am the pack leader and rely on me for that. I have clients that have senior dogs that require meds, and personal care. This is not a problem. What sets me apart from most pet sitters is that I go above and beyond for the pups. Someone is home 90% of the time. I have had clients that have been with me for many years. At my house you get what you pay for and more. It looks easy and fun on my part however, there’s alot that goes into it besides all the scooping….. Starting with reservations. I always have a free meet and greet. I consider all the dogs I will be having at that time to see if all my guests will enjoy their experience, and how I need to accommodate them. As they arrive, and while they’re here I still study each personality to see who can play together and who would rather just “stay out of it”. Since the dogs live in the house like my own pets, I want to make sure everyone is happy. No dog is crated or kenneled unless that is what the dog requires. There’s outside play time at least twice a day. Which might involve chasing a ball, squirrel, duck, or swimming in the lake, or lounging in the sun. If you need a staycation for your pet where they will come home exhausted and happy, let me know. 1. I can pick up and deliver your pup if needed for an extra fee. 2. I live on the lake. 3. I can also bath and do light grooming if needed including nails. 4. 📸 But the most important thing is that pictures and communication cell 📱 📞 with the pups parents are sent many times a day so that you know your dog is safe, and basically having a blast here at my house. We live on the lake so there's lots of room to run and play, however we do have a dog area with a doggie door so they can come and go. All dogs live inside with us and sleep in our room if they want to. My family works from home so someone is here most of the time. My personal dogs are use to having dogs visit us at home and it's never an issue. All dogs are treated like our own and loved. Their needs are always accommodated so that their parents can feel assured that they are well taken care of without any worries while they are gone. I have a doggie area that is large that the dogs can use with a doggie door. This area also has our hot tub so they often play outside or "talk" to us while we use the hot tub. I have a large back yard that the dogs can enjoy while we are there to supervise them. Dogs are not left unattended in the back yard. I live on a quiet one way street with neighbors only to the left and right of me. We all know each others dogs and can identify them.

About: As a lifelong dog and cat owner with four years of dedicated pet-sitting experience, I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to your pet's unique routine and personality. Over the years, I have successfully managed a wide range of real-world scenarios, from maintaining strict potty-training and crate schedules for energetic puppies to providing gentle, patient care for senior dogs who require frequent bathroom breaks and strict, time-sensitive medication administration. I love high-energy breeds that need structured exercise, but I am equally skilled with cats, sharing my home with a few of my own and confidently handling all types of feline behavior. Whether your cat is a clever escape artist requiring strict doorway vigilance, or a sassier kitty who tends to bite and scratch, I know how to read their body language, respect their boundaries, and keep them safe and comfortable. When your pets are with me, you can rest easy knowing they are receiving the highest level of reliable, vigilant, and loving care. I work part-time as a barista, which gives me incredible flexibility throughout the day to dedicate to your pets. Because my schedule is adaptable, I can easily adjust my sleeping and waking hours to match whatever routine your animal needs. You won't have to worry about disrupted routines or missed doses. Whether I am caring for pets in my own home or yours, my primary goal is to provide a loving, calm, and predictable environment where they can truly thrive. I focus on creating a balanced routine that offers plenty of dedicated, high-energy playtime to burn off steam, paired with lots of peaceful downtime for them to rest and relax. I mirror their usual home environment as closely as possible to minimize anxiety, ensuring they feel completely safe, loved, and right at home.

About: Growing up, I’ve always been a cat owner and my parents have always owned dogs. I’ve always looked after our animals, especially when my parents were out of town or just out for a few hours! I know our animals mean the most to us, so I make sure they get pampered like they deserve! I also love to see all types of pet personalities and what makes them thrive happily! I plan to do this part-time and currently have a completely free schedule for any pet owner in need. To mornings, evenings, and even nights..! Just like I do to my pets, I’ll pampers yours as well. From basic needs, to even bathing and grooming (Just nails being trimmed and brushing)! If your pets have any medications, I make sure those are given to the pet at the times they’re needed. I also make sure that all pets get out all the energy they need like walks, running around in your backyard, and even a cute game of tug-of-war and fetch. Every pet has an attitude and voice that I make sure is heard!

About: I have experience with both dogs and cats that spans over 10 years! Currently I have two cats of my own, one of which has special needs. Also a little senior hedgehog! I have experience with dogs/cats of all sizes and endless patience for animals who may need special care. I believe strongly that all animals are precious and deserve the best care possible. I am a massage therapist that works Wednesday-Friday 9am-2pm and Saturday 9am-6pm. Sunday-Tuesday my schedule is open! I will always prioritize the animals needs first. I am committed to safely caring for any animal whether that be my own or others. Making sure doors are securely shut, walking into the home calmly and ensuring no animals bolt through the door.

About: I have have had dogs and horses all my life. I currently help with Rescue and Foster groups when needed. I am a foster failure myself with 3 of my 4 pups. I have a lot of experience with helping with our vets with the horses and dogs. We recently house sitted for a Foster Group that had 10, 5 week old puppies that was a lot of work but so rewarding with puppy breath. My teen son is 19 and an animal lover too and has helped when needed. We are flexible to help you when you need to go out of town for a few days when needed. I have another teen son that stays at our home and takes care of our pups when we are needed else where. I work Monday-Friday but home by 5:30 most days. Can be flexible and work from home when needed as well. I can stay overnight at your home with your babies so they are not alone. Will play and treat your babies as my own. I am a great pet Auntie. I have 3 dogs now which 2 I rescued and so glad i did - my 3 others before them who passed a couple years ago were also rescues. I have years experience working side by side with our vets in the field with our dogs and livestock so I have a lot of common sense and natural care taking ability. I can give medicines and doctor wounds as needed. I don't mind cleaning pens or crates as needed and can also do pet laundry as well. Whatever you or your furr-baby needs, I will be more than happy to do. I work most days until 5 or 5:30 but can work from home if need be so I can be available for your scheduled booking. I have a fenced yard for my 3 critters. I usually step outside with them so they feel more secure to do their business. I don't want them getting nervous that I will leave them outside for very long. I have experience with horses, cows, chickens - you name it, I probably have taken care of them on our Ranch growing up. Whatever you need, I can handle. I also now have experience with fish so I can help feed and take care of your finned friends. Whatever you or your furr-baby needs, I will be more than happy to do. I work until 5-530 during week but can also work from home if need be. I can be home to your babies as soon as traffic lets me. I will come to your home to sit for your babies so that they feel safe and comfy while you are away. They need to try to stay in a routine but be excited someone has come to visit them too. :)
