Doggy Day Care in Latham

About: Moe’s Place is a small in home dog boarding facility. I provide one on one care as well as exit baths. Moe’s Place has commercial kennels indoors and outdoors so they can stay outside when the days are nice. There is a large fenced in play area, but only dogs who come together play together. I make sure every dog is given some additional time to be treated like family. We turn our pups out in the morning before feeding, around noon and early afternoon. We also ensure your pup has time to go out before bed. We live here so it makes it very convenient to ensure your family member is getting the best care. We have lots of open time and play time. If your pup decides they would rather play indoors, we have an indoor play area also.

About: My home is a dog lover's dream — two friendly dogs already live here and are always ready to make new friends. We have a fully fenced backyard (please make sure your pets are on flea and tick medicine as ticks have been bad this year), loads of indestructible toys (thanks, BarkBox!), and an open-door policy between inside and out, so your pup can roam, play, and lounge whenever they please. I work from home full-time, which means your dog is never left alone — I'm always here. Dogs are welcome on the furniture, in the bed, wherever they're happiest. This is their vacation too. Whether your dog needs a playmate, a cozy couch to nap on, or both, they'll feel right at home. Pet care is genuinely woven into my day, not something I have to carve out time for. Since I work from home full-time, I'm always present — whether that's taking a mid-morning break to play in the backyard, keeping an eye on the pack while I'm at my desk, or just being available if anyone needs a cuddle or a quick romp outside. My own two dogs set the rhythm of the day — morning energy bursts, afternoon lounging, outdoor time whenever the mood strikes. Guest dogs just fold right into that routine. There's always someone to play with, always a sunny spot to nap in, and always a human nearby. My home is set up to be as dog-friendly as possible. The backyard is fully fenced, so dogs have safe, free access to outdoor space all day long — no leash required for backyard time. Inside, they're treated like family: furniture is fair game, the bed is open, and there are plenty of indestructible toys to keep them entertained. With two resident dogs already in the mix, guest dogs are never bored or lonely. There's always a playmate available, and I'm always nearby since I work from home full-time. I keep a close eye on group dynamics to make sure everyone is comfortable and playing nicely. I aim to keep routines as close to what your dog is used to as possible — feeding schedules, rest time, outdoor play — so the transition feels easy and low-stress for them. My goal is simple: your dog goes home happy, tired, and already looking forward to their next visit.

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was in my teens, and I'm 68yo now. I have seen just about everything you could see with my dogs. They don't call them man's best friend for nothing. Most of my dogs have been large dogs (Great Danes and Labs). But I have also lived with small dogs. I have raised puppies, including having to bottle feed them when their mother was sick. And sadly I had to retire some of my best buddies. So I've been thru the just about everything with my dogs. I'm retired now, and can focus 100% on taking care of your family members when you need to leave them. You'll never have to worry if they are ok, I'll treat them like their my own I can come to your place and make sure your pet is well taken care of, and you will never have to worry about them. If a situation comes up, I would call right away to get your solution to the problem.

“Fawn is fairly new to Ximena and her pack. I wanted to have a back up sitter for when we wanted to board Fawn. Fawn gets very excited when we pull up to Ximena's house. She knows the dog "pack" and is excited to be there. When I pick her up at the end of the day, she is ready to have a nap, as she has had a busy day walking and playing. Ximena takes very good care of her. I recommend Ximena for caring for your small dog. She and her pack are great!”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a child. I am currently in college to become a certified veterinary technician. I have veterinary medicine training and can spot health problems right away. I have administered medicine and given medication orally. I have open availability through out the week when I work so your furry friends will always have someone at home to take care of there needs. I have a small fenced in part of my yard. No animal is left unattended and is always safe in my care. I always go out of my way to make my home feel like there own.

About: I've always loved animals ever since I was a little girl. Since the age of 9 I've been around all kinds of animals besides dogs and cats. Like birds and reptiles that kinda thing. When I do pet sit for someone I usually try to see what the dogs or cats favorite toy or treat is. Then would go and buy a little goody bag for them, just to tell them that there a good girl or a good boy! Besides watching your pets I try to make sure to tidy up your house and to make sure it's nice before you come home. I'm also a quick learner and would help if your animal needs a certain kind of medicine or treatment. I have some experience with that already but I love to learn new things! I'm currently only working weekends part time. It's just not enough for me and since I love animals why not be a pet sitter or just your everyday dog walker. I try my very best to get to know your pet as much as possible. More like I'll treat your pet like how I treat my own. For an example if they have allergies I'll make a quick note and make sure that I don't give them anything there not supposed to have.

“Chloe was great with our babies! Thank you for keeping them while we went to our son’s football game! They are tuckered out and sleeping on our long drive home!”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and have been around them my whole life. As a teacher and coach, I’m dependable, patient, and I am comfortable handling all kinds of personalities and energy levels. I’m very active, so I enjoy walks, playtime, and keeping dogs engaged and cared for. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your dog is high-energy, needs extra attention, or just wants someone calm and reliable around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also comfortable following specific routines, administering basic medications if needed, and providing updates/photos so you can have peace of mind while your pet is in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a teacher and coach, I have a structured schedule and am very consistent with my time. I’m available before and after school, evenings, weekends, and during breaks throughout the year including all summer off. I’m active and enjoy being outside, so walks, playtime, and spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m also used to balancing responsibilities and staying dependable, so making sure pets are cared for, exercised, and getting attention would always be a priority. I understand that every pet is different, so I always try to follow each owner’s routines and preferences as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, safety, consistency, and attention are always my top priorities. I make sure pets have plenty of supervision, exercise, water, and attention throughout the day. I’m careful with walks, feeding schedules, medications, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I also know how important communication is, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is being well cared for. I treat every pet like they’re my own and aim to create a calm, safe, and positive environment while they’re in my care.
