Doggy Day Care Mapleton

About: Talley’s House has two adults that work from home, two teenage dog loving sons, and two pups, Talley (12+) and Oz (2) that love to meet and play with new friends! We have a great setup for dogs of all types, and we would love to watch your dog(s)! We acknowledge we may not be right for everyone. Please read all the details in our profile to determine if our home is right for you. We work from home - pet care is baked into our daily/weekly routine. A TYPICAL DAY: 7:00-8:30 a.m. interactive playtime (fetch, tug-of-war, etc. ) 8:30-9:00 a.m. morning feeding and rest 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. open playtime - we work while the dogs play. They come in an out freely while we supervise from our workstation. We group dogs as needed. See the safety, trust & environment section for details. 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. treats and training followed by quiet time in kennels 4:00 - 6:00 p.m interactive playtime round 2 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. evening feeding and quiet time in kennels 8:00 - 10:00 p.m. final playtime and bedtime routine (treats and training) 10:00 p.m. - 7:00 a.m. bedtime in kennels We prefer pickup/dropoff times between 7:00 - 10:00 a.m or 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. so we can devote time to helping the dogs adjust to the environment and their temporary pack. The only thing we need from you at drop off is their food in a ZIPLOC w INSTRUCTIONS WRITTEN on it. If needed, bring a small blanket or toy with the scent of home. We do NOT need beds, food dishes, or leash. We engage in activities that stimulate their prey drive (fetch, tug-of-war...), play drive (playtime with Talley, Ozzy, and other guests), and work on training behaviors a couple of times a day, as appropriate. They are out of the kennel interacting with dogs and people most of the day. In order for your dog to have a great experience, they need to play well with other dogs and be comfortable spending time in a kennel. SAFETY & TRUST: We have been trained in behavior recognition to ensure the safety and enjoyment of our guests. When we have multiple guests, we group dogs as needed (by age, size, "fixed" or not, temperament, and/or energy level) to optimize the experience for each guest. We feed them in a kennel to ensure food isn't shared and give them quiet time after meals to ensure they have adequate time to digest before playing again. We expect our guests to be up to date with their vaccinations. When a new dog arrives give them time to explore on their own, then we gradually introduce them to other dogs to assess temperament and compatibility. That is the reason we prefer to limit the pickup and dropoff windows so we can devote that critical time. Please see availability for more info on times. ENVIRONMENT: We have a dedicated space both indoors and outdoors for the dogs. Inside we have an air-conditioned apartment dedicated to the dogs. They have a couch, area rug, background music, and their own 4x4, 4x6, or 5x5 kennel. We reserve a corner for a workstation where we work during the day. Outside we have a fenced area for the dogs with turf and toys. We setup a canopy for extra shade on hot sunny days since we don't have natural shade from trees yet. We wet the turf down on hot days to ensure it's comfortable for the dogs as well.

About: What sets me apart is the amount of time, attention and companionship your dog will receive while in my care. I've spent more than 25 years around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I've trained several of my own. This experience helps me understand different personalities and adapt to each dog's unique needs. I work from home, so dogs in my care are rarely left alone and receive plenty of supervision throughout the day. To ensure every pet gets the attention they deserve, I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time. This allows me to provide a more personalized experience and helps each dog feel comfortable, safe and at home. Whether your dog loves to be active or prefers a quieter environment, I tailor their stay to fit their needs. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, play time in the yard, and visiting the dog park for dogs that are social and enjoy that environment. My home is filled with love, attention, and plenty of opportunities for play, cuddles, and companionship. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine since I'm already caring for my own dog. I am a stay at home mom, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day—not long hours alone. I have a dog of my own and make exercise and enrichment a priority, whether that's trips to the dog park, walks around the neighborhood, playtime in our fenced yard, or one-on-one activities tailored to your dog's personality and comfort level. Because I'm always home and have a flexible schedule, I'm able to accommodate a variety of drop-off and pick-up times. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, and part of the family while you're away. I like to care for every pet as if they were my own while making sure to follow their owner's routine and preferences as close as possible. I prioritize safety, affection and plenty of stimulation. I follow a normal 2x a day feeding schedule, provide regular potty breaks, daily exercise/playtime and a comfortable place to relax. I can also administer oral medication if needed. I pay close attention to each dog's personality and energy level so they feel comfortable and stress-free during their stay.

“Ashley and her daughters did an amazing job with taking care of our pup Rocky. I received numerous pictures of him with the girls giving me a piece of mind knowing he is in such good hands. Thank you Ashley for a job well done!”

“Crystal was fantastic with Molly. She sent pictures of the walk they took with the other dogs, and Molly was clearly happy. She was kind and personable with Molly at both drop-off and pick-up, and was flexible with us when we needed to extend our stay because of a family emergency that came up. Throughout everything, she was highly communicative.”

“Anna is an amazing, conscientious dog person. My two huskies get so excited to go to her house or to see her for walks that one starts her prancing and happy squeal and the other puts on her biggest grin when we get close or they see her (my huskies are very expressive 😂) Anna gives them a home away from home!”

“Hailey is amazing! My dog loved her and she was so great with flexibility and keeping me updated. Would definitely recommend her and have already rebooked!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for years. I’m experienced with high-energy breeds, multi-dog homes, and dogs who need a calm, structured routine. I understand how important it is to keep dogs happy, safe, and comfortable. I work from home full time, so your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and outdoor breaks. I’m available for boarding everyday, and I always make sure pets stick to their normal routines so they feel comfortable and secure. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly Norwegian Elkhounds who love having a playmate. We also have a secure doggy door so pups can go in and out freely during the day. All free-roam areas (inside and outside) have cameras so I can monitor everyone for safety. At night, the doggy door is closed, and dogs can either free roam the house or be crated if that’s part of their routine. I can also set your dog up in our quiet guest room if they prefer space. My home is calm, clean, and safe, and I treat every pet like part of my family.

“Stephanie was quick to respond and was able to accommodate our last minute needs. Our first time using Rover but any trepidations were quickly replaced with trust that our dogs were getting excellent care!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life I’ve always had a soft spot for animals. Growing up, our home was full of pets and creatures of all kinds—cats, dogs, ducks, lizards, frogs, and even owls! To me, they were never “just pets.” They were family and some of my best friends. I’ve always loved spending time with animals, whether that meant playing with them, taking care of them, or simply keeping them company. People used to tell me I should become a veterinarian because of how naturally I connected with animals. I also have a soft spot for animals in need. More than once, much to my parents’ surprise, I came home with a stray cat or dog I had found on the street. I would take them in, care for them, and make sure they were safe and healthy until they could find a new home. I’m currently exploring new career opportunities, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting and dog walking. So if you’re looking for someone who will give your pets plenty of attention, patience, affection, and care, I’d love to meet them! Your pets deserve to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away—and that’s exactly how I would treat them. 🐾

“Kristen was so great with August! He spent the afternoon and he was well taken care of. Plenty of walks and pets, and I loved receiving the updates with photos. I’d highly recommend Kristen :)”

About: Hi! 🐾💕 Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve been around dogs since the day I was born, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I know just how much our pets mean to us because I’ve always considered my own pets family. I’ve cared for other people’s dogs as well as my own, including administering medication when needed. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routines, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. A little about my home: I have a fenced backyard where your pup can enjoy some fresh air and playtime, and dogs are welcome on the furniture! I want your fur babies to feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home rather than like they’re staying somewhere unfamiliar. 🏡🐶 I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so your pup can enjoy my attention without having to share the home with other resident animals. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, affection, and care. Whether your dog needs walks, drop-in visits, daytime company, or a cozy place to stay while you’re away, I’ll do my best to make sure they feel loved and cared for every step of the way. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same love, patience, and kindness I’d want someone to give my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! ❤️🐾 I was recently laid off from my job, so I have nothing but free time to care for your pet. I do have two kids that I take to school and pick up from school, other than that my schedule is very flexible. ❤️🐾 I can provide one on one dog care, as I don’t currently have pets in my home. I have a fenced back yard that overlooks a horse pasture, and great walking areas that are away from a busy street.

About: I have a loving family of six with AWESOME indoor and outdoor space to take great care of your furry besties. I am home most days and nights full time. 3 of our kids homeschool, and assist with much of the work and care. I’ve cared for pets large and small, young and senior, my whole life. Our outdoor space is large and fully fenced with shade and grass to play and relax in. I can also care for pets as needed indoors in our main living spaces. My space offers many options for play, rest, and I’ll make sure they’re loved, happy, and healthy. I am home often during the day and always at night. Part of our children’s education is to learn responsibility and to work well and often in the home. Caring for others pets as a business teaches love, care, empathy, work, and so much more. Their care will be a high priority in my home! Fully fenced large backyard with lush grass and shade. Roomy indoor pet-friendly spaces. Daily exercise and play for friends with lots of energy. Many opportunities for caring human interaction.

About: I believe every pet deserves individual attention, kindness, and respect. I am happy to follow your dog's daily routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I also understand the importance of communication and will gladly provide updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable while your furry family member is in my care. I can arrange my schedule to provide pet care, including walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I am available for scheduled visits, walks, and overnight care depending on my availability. I always communicate with pet owners in advance to make sure their pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I always follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and daily routines. I believe in providing a clean, peaceful, and loving environment. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their space and maintain their familiar routines. I also provide regular updates and pictures so owners can feel confident that their pets are in good hands.

About: Grew up taking care of cats and dogs. I understand what it takes to make sure they feel loved and appreciated especially when their owner is away I usually start the day with my own fur babies and I’m usually open most of the day so I could easily slip in sitting, and looking out for your fur babies too. I priorities their needs like food, water and quality time. Then if I need to groom them I will, clean their beds/litter boxes and make sure their living space is clean.

“Rachel did a great job! She was so attentive to my dog and sent me loads of pictures and updates, which I appreciated! My pup will be so happy to go to her house again!”
