Doggy Day Care Maple Heights-Lake Desire

About: I was raised with dogs since I was about 5 years old, and had cats since I was 10. I currently own two beautiful cats that I've had for about 5 years now. I have pet sat for others while in the military, and am excited to do so again! I quit my job so that I can attend college full-time. Until I start classes, I am completely free and available to care for animals. Once I start classes, I will still be able to pet sit and board on my off days and weekends. :) I live in a two bedroom condo with a green belt out back and several nice walking trails nearby. I do have two cats, so any dogs I watch will need to be gentle and play nice!

“Thank you so much, Ben and family! You guys are awesome! Gunner literally passed out when we got home. Haha! He had a lot of fun at your place. We'll bring him back for sure. So glad we found you guys :)”

“Judy took Remy on an adventure around her neighborhood and sent lots of pics and updates throughout the day. Pup came home all tuckered out, a sign of a good day. :) Easy and prompt communication, dropoff and pickup went smoothly- definitely recommend Judy to hang with your furry friend.”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who works part-time from home while raising my two favorite little ones: my 2-year-old son and our playful 1-year-old female Corgi. Because my days are centered around staying home and keeping my own duo active and happy, I have plenty of time and love to dedicate to your pup. When your dog stays with us, they truly become a part of our family. I’ve been caring for dogs in some capacity since I was 14 years old—back when "babysitting" almost always meant pet sitting, too! As an adult, I spent over 13 wonderful years caring for a bonded pair of rescue dogs. One of them had been returned to the shelter three times before he found me; I was his last hope, and to this day, I say he was the best 50 bucks I ever spent. Having them for their entire lives gave me deep experience with a wide spectrum of canine needs, and I bring that same patience, commitment, and understanding to every pet I watch. I have a 1 year old corgi and a 2 year old human. Mornings are often spent outside with a walk to the park or time in the yard. After lunch consists of naps by both the toddler and dog. Afternoons are varied with more outside time depending on weather and dog will get a second evening walk after dinner. Yard time is typically when we are outside together unless requested by the dog. My corgi often asks to go outside to chase birds or squirrels. In my home your dog will be treated like my own: plenty of pets and cuddles and play. Just please be ok with a toddler interacting with you dog!

“We just started working with Alexandria who is a multi talented when it comes to per care - my Lola who has trouble getting groomed was able to get the grooming she desperately needed while at daycare with Alexandria who was amazing and gentle with Lola. She was able to build trust with Lola which was the key to let Alexandria groom her during one of her daycare visits. We will be boarding Lola at Alexandria's while we are away down Thanksgiving. So far our experience has been nothing less than stellar.”

“Jacklyn was great! Sent lots of (very cute!) pictures, walked McCoy, and made sure he got along with her own dog. McCoy was always happy to see her (and her dog) when we dropped him off. Jacklyn was also very responsive to us (e.g. when we had to modify our arrival/pick up time) which made our lives very easy.”

About: We have been caring for dogs for many years. Starting from puppies to full grown dogs over the years and know how to understand what a dog needs for a healthy, happy, and full life. Aharon works from home most of the time. With just one dog at home it would be easy to add another. It’s easy to add another to the pack! We take our dogs outside for exercise twice a day and have play sessions in between. We have 1200 sqft of interior space for the dogs to play and chill with a fenced backyard. There’s also a dog park almost right in our backyard where we go to all the time. The area is residential and lots of families around that know us.

“Marina and Richards Family is the best! We are so lucky we found them. They are super flexible and always willing to watch Bear. They always send the cutest pictures of Bear and send updates. Bear is always excited to see them and exhausted when he comes home. We will always rebook with them! Highly recommend Marina and her family!!”

“Priya was so caring and her love for dogs really shows. She communicated frequently and I knew Baobao was in great hands the whole time. Highly, highly recommend”

Benjamin G.

“Jay and Xinyu are great! They took very good care of our Golden, Nala and sent daily updates with pictures. They also helped socialize her with a pal that Nala got along with very well! I was more than comfortable with them taking great care of Nala these past two weeks and grateful they made her stay enjoyment! Would recommend them to anyone and definitely coming back in the future!”

About: I treat each pup like part of the family—whether that means sticking closely to your dog’s routine, giving extra cuddles, or providing gentle care for seniors or high-energy playtime for puppies. My home is safe, calm, and dog-friendly, with plenty of room to relax or play. I send regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pup is in loving hands. As a retiree, pet care is truly a part of my everyday life—and something I genuinely enjoy. Since I’m home full-time, your dog will never be left alone for long periods and will receive constant attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. My daily routine is built around keeping dogs happy and comfortable, from morning walks and playtime to relaxed afternoons and evening cuddles. I keep a calm, quiet home where dogs can feel safe and relaxed, and I’m always available for feeding, potty breaks, or just spending quality time with them. When pets stay in my home, I treat them like one of the family. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, walk times, play habits, and bedtime routines—to help them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. My home is clean, quiet, and dog-friendly, with plenty of space for lounging, supervised playtime, and cozy naps. I give each dog plenty of personal attention throughout the day, whether that means going for walks, playing fetch, or just offering a warm lap to curl up on. If your dog needs medication, special meals, or extra care (like for puppies or seniors), I handle it all with patience and attention to detail. I also keep pet parents updated with regular messages and photos, so you can rest easy knowing your pup is in good hands.

“Ellen and Larry were so great to work with! Their home is such a peaceful and perfect little world for my pooch to spend the day - run around safely and be in their caring hands! I was kept in the loop with photo updates and very much appreciate their flexibility and clear communication with regard to scheduling! I've already booked my next stay!”

About: Private home boarding. One client at a time. Every stay feels like a vacation with personalized care for your dog. Your dog is not one of many guests. They are our only guest. Hosting one client at a time lets us focus on your dog and follow the routine they know. Whether your dog likes to play, explore, sit beside us, or rest in a quiet spot, we give them space to enjoy the stay in their own way. You will receive thoughtful daily photo updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is doing well. We know choosing someone to care for your dog is a big decision, and we appreciate the trust our clients place in us. We would be happy to schedule a meet-and-greet before your dog's first stay to answer your questions, get to know your dog, and make sure we are a good fit. From the moment your dog arrives, they are part of everything we do. Because we both work from home, your dog spends the day with us instead of being left alone for long periods. We go for walks, spend time in the backyard, take breaks, and shape the day around what your dog likes. Some dogs want to stay active, while others are happiest resting nearby. Whenever possible, we follow the routine your dog knows at home, including feeding times, medications, exercise, and bedtime. A familiar routine can help a dog relax more quickly in a new place. We never rush your dog’s first day. Your dog can get familiar with the house and backyard before settling in. Our home sits on a large property with a fully fenced backyard where dogs have plenty of room to explore, play, or relax. Fresh water is always available, and every dog is supervised indoors and outside. I am certified in Dog First Aid and CPR. Before each stay, the house and backyard are checked and prepared for your dog’s arrival. Boris, our Boston Terrier, is friendly, neutered, fully vaccinated, and up to date on flea and tick prevention. Dogs are introduced slowly while we watch how each one responds. If your dog wants more space, we respect that. During walks, we watch your dog’s behavior and the area around us. If a route becomes busy or something makes your dog uneasy, we change direction or adjust the plan.

“Jason accommodated my schedule everyday in short time. Loved his environment with caring children and other playful dogs. Us and our dog is ?”

“Courtney is great! She gave regular updates even if your fur baby is at her place for just a day. She is very interactive, shares updates and is very organized. Her dog is super friendly and loves playing with others too. I've had a lovely experience and did not have to worry about my puppy when I was away. I'd definitely recommend Courtney. :)”

I also have a calm and playful pup named Rana who is friendly and well-socialized. I ensure slow and safe introductions so every dog feels relaxed, comfortable, and stress-free. Rana is gentle, adaptable, and enjoys having furry guests.

“Dahye was amazing with my pups and very loving! She and her husband were very conscientious and showed both my babies the perfect amount of attention. My girls were very happy with their play date and worn out on the ride home!”
