Doggy Day Care Lakeside

“Megan was awesome and very welcoming. It was my first time using Rover and she made sure my 11 week old puppy had a comfortable stay and also got to play with her own puppy. When I picked her up she was a lot more confident and I could tell she had a fun time. Great stay and we will book doggy day care again for sure.”

About: I am very time oriented with their food, well being and care, teach them new tricks and always take them on walks around the neighborhood. I always go on morning and evening walks as a pet owner. I have breaks around 12pm and 4pm if needed, which I use to play with the pet. I have separate rooms spaces, ways to make them feel comfortable. Separate eating spaces of needed. I always make sure the pet is always comfortable.

About: I am very picky when it comes to the care of my dogs. They have a specific routine and eating schedule. They are my babies and I care for them as I would care for myself. I will absolutely make sure to do the same for your fur babies as well. I am dedicated to making other owners feel safe just the same as I need when I have to be away from my babies. I work remotely part time and can be available for full time care. I have cameras that I monitor our home. We enjoy going on long walks in the morning and in the evening when the sun begins setting in the heat of summer. In the cooler (not cold or freezing weather) seasons, we go on a mid-day walk and on the really pretty days we love to go for as many walks or adventures that we can. My babies usually get 2-4 20 to 30 minute walks per day, more activity outdoor time with beautiful weather. I have 2 dogs at home that eat, walk, play and relax on a routine. I have a safe and secure fenced in yard, but it is small. There is a dog park around the corner and lots of walking trails. I take my dogs on "adventures" and they do have seat belts to keep them safe in the car. Your pets would be a part of our family and I would have them on a similar schedule unless directed to do something different by you. I work less than a mile from my home and have cameras all over my house. I am able to be home within 5 minutes or less if needed when I am away. Walks, outside & play time are very dependent on the weather. We don't go outside in lightning at all or if it is raining weather we only go out back for potty breaks and I look at weather apps multiple times a day because I do have a sweet girl that does not handle storms well at all. We have a dog park in the neighborhood and great walking trails. We go on long adventures as much as possible as long as it is not too hot or cold. Paw pad inspections are done with my bare feet on the concreate before my babies are allowed to walk. My sweet girl is older, so Leia is not able to handle the heat like Kylo. I am also very mindful of this. Your babies would be treated as if they were my babies unless there are other things you need me to do that I am currently not doing for my own.

About: I got my very own dog when I was 10 years old. Domino was a dalmatian and really just set the ball rolling for my love of all dogs! I have had at least one dog since, the most at one time was 4! We had Chihuahua named Pancho, Boxer named Pepper, Pit bull named Petey and a foster Mix named Ziggy! I would adopt all the dogs if I had enough space. I have dog sat for friends and thought this would be a great way to keep Hobbs social while still being an only child :) I currently work remotely and am available for 24/7 care in my home. I have one kennel but space for you to bring your own if your baby is more comfortable there. However, this is a dog friendly home so pups are of course allowed on furniture and to sleep in bed. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly boxer mix that LOVES all other dogs and thinks everyone is a friend! We go on short walks in the morning and evening while it's not so hot! During the day I always accompany potty breaks and encourage play time. We have plenty of toys, balls and bones that Hobbs loves to share.

“Im so grateful for Geneva! I was in a bind last minute and I reached out to her. She responded so quickly to my request and watched my Ralphie for a whole day! She has a very cute home with a great backyard for him to play in. Ralphie was in great spirits when I picked him up and slept so soundly when we came home. I kniw he had such a great day with her! Thank you Geneva 😊 I've got her booked for next weekend already and I know Ralphie is excited too. Thank you for taking care of my boy 😌 I know he's in good hands with her ❤️”

“Molly and Trey took great care of Gambit for us! He came home happy, and we got a super cute pic of him hanging out with their sweet dog. They were very easy to communicate with and made me feel very comfortable. I would definitely have them watch Gambit for us again!”

About: I’ve been caring for other people’s pets for years. All through college, I watched dogs and cats for friends and family, and when I worked at a vet clinic, I gained even more experience. I’m comfortable administering all kinds of medication, including pills, liquids, and injections. I especially enjoy caring for older pets and those who may be a bit anxious. They often do best with patience and a consistent routine, and that’s exactly what I provide. During every stay, you’ll receive regular photo updates, along with notes on how your pet is eating, playing, sleeping, and handling any medication. I like to keep each pet on a daily schedule that closely matches their normal routine at home to help them settle in more comfortably. I work from home, so I’m here with the pets throughout the day. Guest pets aren’t left alone for long stretches, and I can stick to their regular times for meals, walks, potty breaks, and medication. My own pets already keep me on a set daily routine, and guest pets slip right into it. Each day has a steady rhythm of morning and evening meals, yard time, walks, play, and rest. In my home: My back yard is fully fenced, and I check the gates and fence line regularly. Guest pets share space with my two dogs and one cat, so every guest must be friendly with both dogs and cats. Before any first stay, I do a meet and greet so everyone can get to know each other. New guests are introduced to my pets slowly and are supervised until I know they all get along. At night, pets are kenneled for safety. Food, medications, and cleaning supplies are stored where pets can’t reach them. In your home (drop-ins): I follow your instructions for feeding, medication, and litter, and I double-check that doors, gates, and locks are secure before I leave. After each visit, I send a photo and a short note on how your pet is doing. Health and emergencies: From my time at a vet clinic, I’m comfortable giving all kinds of medication, including injections, and I know the early signs that a pet isn’t feeling well. Before each stay, I collect your vet’s contact information and any health notes. If anything seems off, I’ll contact you right away, and I’ll take your pet to the vet if needed.

“Very timely in responses and Willow seemed to have so much fun”

About: I love working with all pets, whether it be sitting, caretaking, cuddling, trimming nails or grooming, I love spending time with all animals. Can’t wait to meet your pet. Currently working from home so I’m available nearly every day for regular or special visits. I am currently in school for veterinary medicine to be able to help pets further! I have two friendly cats and a small nervous but friendly dog, at any point they can be kept away from your pet if needed. I have a fenced in backyard in a neighborhood with walking trails and a dog park.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets as well as pets belonging to family and friends. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving lots of love and attention. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I’m patient and attentive to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’ll treat your fur baby like they’re part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care! 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have plenty of time to give your pup the attention they deserve. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, trips to the dog park, playtime, feeding, and lots of love throughout their stay. I’ll also do my best to stick to your pup’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable and right at home. I live in an apartment with access to a dog park, so your pup will have plenty of opportunities for outdoor time, exercise, and play. I also have two dogs of my own to keep your fur baby company. I have crates available if needed and can accommodate your pet’s normal routine and preferences. Safety and comfort are always my priority, and I’ll make sure your pup receives plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and love while staying with me.

About: I have been handling dogs for about 9 years now. I currently offer In-Home dog grooming where I bring the salon to the comfort of your home. I work for myself so my schedule can be pretty flexible. Most grooming appointments are scheduled between 10:30am to 5pm. I will accommodate walk requests as best as possible. If walk requests are after 7pm (after dark) I may have a Buddy along to accompany me during the walk for safety but I will always inform my client prior to accepting requests. I have a lot of senior doggos so I am very attentive and report anything out of the ordinary in regards to their behavior.

“Robin took fabulous care of Penny and did a great job keeping me updated and sending me pics throughout the day! Penny had such a great time and got lots of playtime and exercise. Robin clearly has a passion and a knack for taking care of dogs and I highly recommend her :)”

“Ernest has been a Godsend. He is patient with my senior and very anxious GSD. He has been extremely accommodating with my schedule and pays attention to the weather conditions and how they could impact our pets. He provides pool time for outside play and keeps them indoors during peak heat.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for more than 10+ years. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have experience in changing dog diapers and mouth feeding medicines if necessary. I’m currently a stay at home mom, so i’ll have plenty of time to play with your doggy. I’m available for boarding any day of the week. The only time your dog will be left alone is when I have to drop and pick up my daughter from school. I have a fenced yard and no pets currently. Unfortunately, my dog passed the beginning of January 2025. However, I do have a 5 year old daughter that loves to play with pets and can keep your pup company. If needed I can easily crate your dog for safety

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give to each dog as if they were my own. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra support. I’m especially good with routines, administering medications, and making pets feel safe and loved in any environment. I understand how important trust is when it comes to pet care, and I always prioritize clear communication with pet parents and consistency for their pets. Pet care fits really well into my routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m around throughout the day to give pets attention, keep up with their routines, and make sure they’re comfortable and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and safe environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and anything specific the owner requests. In my home, pets have a cozy, quiet space and lots of attention. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and keep things consistent to help pets feel comfortable and at ease.

“Oshin was awesome! The dogs warmed up to her quickly and I could tell from the pictures and videos that they felt relaxed and happy.”
