Doggy Day Care in Leonardo

About: i’ve owned and trained many breeds over the years. People have always been amazed at how well my dogs listen. They want a job! They need to feel important. I work from home, have plenty of space, and I miss having pets around. I live alone and currently have no pets. I need them! I treat them with respect and compassion. I build trust so they can trust. I engage them constantly, to keep them from getting bored. They all want a job and they all want to feel important.

“Robert has been walking my dog for the past year about 2 times a week! She LOVES him and looks forward to it every week. He takes her on 25-30 minute walks all around the neighborhood and to nearby dog parks. He plays with her and gets a lot of her energy out as she’s a high energy dog! While I am out of town for work Rob also watches my 1 year old cat who also adores him!! Highly recommend his service as he is careful and kind to animals and is also experienced as he has a few animals himself.”

“Izzy spent a wonderful day with Kathy and her dog Ziggy…..who is such a great boy! I felt so comfortable leaving my girl with them, Kathy is kind, compassionate and knows dogs! Her property is beautiful, safe and secure. We will for sure have more fun times here again. I think Izzy is in love with Ziggy and Kathy! ❤️”

“Rick was awesome with our puppy, Kelsie! She loved playing with his dogs and she came home happy and tired! We definitely recommend Rick and will absolutely use him again!”

“Elizabeth is an excellent caregiver for animals. She is truly dedicated to looking after and caring for animals and goes above and beyond to help them if need be. She has such an undying passion for animal care that I know that she will do anything and everything to care for yours. She loves all pets as if they were hers and isn’t scared to take on difficult animals.”

“Ryan was great watching my dog! He gave my pup lots of love and attention. He was diligent in following my dogs schedule and was always sending updates and pictures. Would trust Ryan to watch my pup again.”

“Robin was very accommodating in agreeing to watch my dog with only 2 days notice. Doogie had a great time and was exhausted after a day in her large, fenced-in backyard.”

“Pernille has been a dog owner for 3 years and you will be hard pressed to find a better one than her. She is extremely attentive, patient and just has a way of making animals fall in love with her. I would recommend her to watch your dog anyday.”

“Everything went very well with Michael. We were able to do a meet and greet the day before. Buzz is so afraid of other dogs but once he’s around them, he tolerates other dogs but it takes days for him to relax. Buzz actually stayed on the couch all day because he was afraid. Michael was very kind, accommodating and made my husband and I feel Buzz would be just fine. And he was. I can’t say enough kind words about Michael. One visit and you’d know just how comfortable and confident I was leaving my pup with him.”

“Julie is truly the definition of an animal lover! Her extensive history of working in pet care is evident the second you meet her. Not only does she treat every pet as her own, but she has a ton of knowledge regarding animal health, body language, and behavior. She is a true professional to work with. I cannot recommend her enough for any pet care needs!”

“Mary & Aaron and their lovely children are the needle in the haystack! I feel so thankful and grateful that I found them. Cassius is a rescue dog with severe separation anxiety, many behavioral traits and health issues, needs a special diet, is scared of unknown environments, streets, etc....but he is totally happy each time that is going to their house ! They opened the doors of their house and they also open their hearts to Cassius as if he was their own dog... and I really mean it ! Their adorable daughter Allison will wait in the morning for Cassius, when she is off school, full of energy to play, give him treats and do puzzles together, Cassius adores her. This is an extraordinary compassionate and loving family that will take care of your dogs as if they were their own. For the first time since I rescued Cassius, I can plan on traveling, study, go to work and move around worry-free about Cassius being take care. Cassius will continue going on regular basis to their house every week, it was a match made in heaven, Cassius loves them and they love him!”

“Debbie was so amazing and we are so thankful that we found her! She sent us pictures and updates throughout the day and was easy to communicate with. Lou had so much fun and didn’t want to leave!!”

About: I have taken care of/owned dogs, rabbits, birds, hamsters, lizards, & fish my entire life! Since I was a child we have had dogs in our home and there was never a moment where we didn’t have a pet in our house. I am a HUGE animal lover and instantly fall in love with any animal I meet. Since moving in to our own house, we can’t afford to own our own pets, so we would love to be able to watch and take care of others! I work 9-5 during the week and WFH Mondays and Fridays. The only availability I would have to board animals is Thursday night to Monday afternoon. I wish I could do more time, but it wouldn’t be fair to anyone as I won’t be home Tuesday-Thursday. We have a fenced in yard and a lot of space for dogs to run around. Our home is also pretty spacious inside, so it won’t feel cramped! Whether in my home or the clients homes I always ensure to give a ton of love & care and ensure they have their exercise throughout the day, as well as as many bathroom breaks as needed.

“Christen is great! She has a great way with our two dogs and they are always excited to see her. She is caring and attentive, and very reliable. Our dogs are both 50 lb rescue mutts, and they can be a handful!”

“Eric has watched our dog for a few years now. He’s amazing with our dog and such a nice guy. I would highly recommend Eric!”

“After growing up with dogs her whole life, Stephanie adopted her first dog at a mere 20 years old. Since that day 9 years ago, her boxer Pebbles has been her number one priority. She is the epitome of a proud dog mom, constantly ensuring Pebbles is in optimal health and happy as can be. Stephanie socializes Pebbles with her own family dog and dogs in her neighborhood, and takes her on trips to the dog park and dog beach. She grooms her, shows her love and attention, and ultimately spoils her as all dogs deserve—this includes a subscription to BarkBox, in addition to regular trips to Starbucks for her beloved "Puppuccinos." Stephanie has the advantage of a remote job, allowing her to spend the vast majority of her day caring for Pebbles. I have no doubt Stephanie will extend this same love and attention to any dog in her care through Rover.”

“My wife and I were extremely satisfied with Stephanie. We would definitely use her again without a doubt.”

“Emily is the most responsible person and even more so a dog caregiver. She is always attentive to all of the doggy’s needs - walks, bathroom runs, water, food. As an animal lover, emily gives her utmost love to all of the dogs she cares for. I would 100% whole-heartily recommend her for the job!”

“Very Happy with Joelyn!!”

“Kristy is AMAZING! It's really nice not only having a reliable dog sitter but one that has some medical training. I have two goldens, one is 7 and the other 10 and it was really nerve wrecking finding someone i felt comfortable enough with giving him all his meds and doing it correctly. Some of Wilson's meds cant be taken together and have to have a certain amount of time in-between them. Not only did Kristy know all about my dogs medical condition but about his meds as well. She truly put us at ease. Aside from all that, she was constantly in contact and send pics and videos daily. Kristy really treated our boys like they were her own. We are so grateful we found her!!”
