Doggy Day Care in McGonigle

“What a delight! Senator had a wonderful time with Mindy and canine babies. Mindy was so kind and ready to spend time with him. He was exhausted afterward, but….that’s a compliment. Hope to visit again soon.”

About: I've had at least two dogs my entire life. I've cared for puppies through adult dogs. I have even cared for some with special needs. I'm a stay at home mom and I have plenty of time to care for your baby. I can be with your dog at all times. I have a fenced in yard and three dogs who would love to play and snuggle. I will also walk your dog if you'd like.

About: I’ve been involved with dog rescue for many years. I worked with virtually every type of dog there is. From shy, timid to very high energy. I’ve had dogs that had aggression issues. I worked with dogs on leash training, housebreaking, and socialization. I am retired. I have nothing but time on my hands! I volunteer Thursday mornings at an equine therapy barn. But I will still have time to take care of animals on Thursdays. I am open to caring for dogs in my home. But! They have to be dog and cat friendly. I would prefer not to have younger dogs, only because my dogs are older and don’t like young dogs, jumping all over them. My dogs are very dog friendly though. My cats are very dog friendly. In fact, they prefer dogs over our cats!

“Very responsive and cared about what our dog liked.”

About: I have a grown up with a huge love for animals! I grew up with animals and dogs my whole life and they always bring me such joy. That is why my Goal is to make my life’s work something I so enjoy and am good at! I am familiar and comfortable with dogs of all sizes - no dog is too big or too small! I have been around and cared for dogs with a variety of different temperaments and attitudes. Dogs who typically don’t like other people often respond well to me, and I love gaining their trust. I have done a variety of different pet care jobs, including house sitting and working at a doggy daycare, and walking and boarding pups. I value giving yours pets the undivided attention and love that they deserve, as well as the space to explore and keep busy or rest. I am currently a stay at home wife with a very flexible schedule. I am seeking to fill my time taking care of peoples pets and am therefore very open. I am rarely gone from my house for more than 4-6 hours at a time, but those occasions are rare. I am able and comfortable with taking dogs outside, walking your dogs, or crating them when and if they need it. If your dogs love time outside, I am happy to take them out. If they love walks, I would love to take them for walks. I also would be ready and willing to love them from the comfort of their home. My home is not huge but has a decent fenced in yard, a few bedrooms, a basement, and a large deck that can be gated as well. Therefore your dogs will have plenty of space.

About: I have fostered over 50 animals the past two and half years. Puppies, adult dogs kittens and cats. I have tons of experience with house training and crate training puppies. I volunteer at our local animal shelter weekly and have developed a strong bond with the rescue community. I also have experience administering medication. During the past two years I have met many animals , all with a different type of personality. I have been able to adapt and learn how to handle each unique personality. My time as a foster and shelter volunteer has really showed me what my true passion is! My schedule is very flexible and I'm usually able to accommodate last minute requests. Unless I have another client , my schedule is almost always open. I volunteer at the shelters on Tuesday mornings but I can always rearrange my volunteer days. My home is fenced in and I have crates for my own dogs, also extra crates for your dogs. My dogs have multiple play styles so I can adapt to just about any personality. I only ask that if your dogs are boarding in my home they are animal and kid friendly. If you're nervous about your dogs being around dogs you don't know, I understand. I can easily rotate the dogs time so they never even have to interact, as I have baby gates to keep them separated. I have a big fenced in yard so your dog will get plenty of play time. If you want boarding in your home I can do that too. I can provide plenty of love and play for them. Whatever you are comfortable with in your home just let me know! I also always will send tons of pictures. If you have puppies I can absolutely help with potty and also crate training if they aren't crate trained yet.

“Alij is such a sweet and caring sitter. She kept me updated and made me feel comfortable while I was away from my dogs. I’m so grateful for the great care she gave them, and I’ll definitely be booking her again.”

About: Hi there! I’m Andrew—a lifelong animal lover with a big heart and an even bigger soft spot for furry friends. Whether it’s going on walks, giving belly rubs, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m dependable, patient, and always treat every animal like family. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved pet, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated with pics and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether you have a playful pup, a chill senior, or a shy kitty—I’d be honored to care for them like they’re my own. Let’s connect—I’d love to meet you and your furry companion! Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day. I build in time for morning and evening walks, play sessions, feeding routines, and any special care your pet may need. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extended sitting, I’m able to adapt my routine to fit your pet’s needs and keep them comfortable, happy, and loved. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do everything I can to maintain their normal routine and create a stress-free environment. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or bedtime routines—and I take the time to learn your pet’s personality, preferences, and quirks. I always treat your home with respect, keep things clean, and make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you're away. If I’m providing care in my own home (depending on the service), I offer a calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I make sure pets are never left alone for long periods, and I keep a close eye on their behavior, comfort, and health throughout their stay. In both settings, communication is key—I’ll keep you updated with regular messages, photos, and videos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

“My timid dog was able to open up and feel comfortable to play during a daycare visit. I am so thankful and very pleased.”

About: I have many years of experience with dogs. I have owned dogs the majority of my life and have also done dog sitting on and off. I have attended dog training classes for my own dogs where I have learned training skills. I have also been involved in virtual training lessons. We currently do not have a dog but the whole family loves them more than anything. There are kids in the household from 7- 14 yrs old. They are very gentle and loving towards animals, in fact there is nothing they love more than dogs. Your pet will be showered with love in our home. When dogs are here they are family! I don't work outside the home so I am usually home and available to pamper and play with pets and with my husband working from home someone is here 90% of the time. We have a large house with plenty of room to run around. We have a good sized yard and great neighborhood for going on walks. We typically only take one booking at a time so your dog(s) would likely get the whole place to themselves. Your dogs will be happy staying here and you can be assured they will get a lot of play time. I am home all day so the pets are the center of attention and completely pampered while they are here! My husband also works from home. We have a fenced in yard. We have a swimming pool that is uncovered from April - September so if that is a safety concern with your dog this is not a good fit. We do have a pool alarm that notifies us if anything enters the pool.

“My Favorite Dog Sitter in Ohio! He takes such great care of my puppy Finley!”

About: I've always had a deep love for animals, and when it comes to dogs, I believe they deserve to be as pampered as if they were in their own home! Growing up with four dogs, I cherished the moments we spent playing in the backyard and the joy they showed when it was time for their tasty treats after dinner! Since I work from home, your beloved pet will have companionship throughout the day! I promise to shower them with the same love and special attention that I give my own puppy, ensuring they feel right at home. We have a cozy house with a fenced yard, perfect for letting your furry friend roam and play, and I’m dedicated to taking them on daily walks to explore the neighborhood. Plus, my fiancé is home by 3 PM, so there’s always an extra set of hands to help with playtime and cuddles! Your pet will truly be treated like family here!

“Michael was great! He asked questions to know Rosie better. He kept in touch with us before her daycare date. During her stay he kept us up to date & sent pictures. We would definitely recommend them & would schedule with them again if we visit the area. It was a perfect situation for our Rosie! Thanks, Michael!”

“David was great with Myles. He is already going to potty outside after just a week of training with David. I can already see a difference with his behavior and his separation anxiety and also the way he interacts with other dogs. His personality is starting to shine now. I think after a few more weeks of training Myles is going to be in great shape.”

About: Over the years, I have owned and cared for many dogs and cats. From cocker spaniels to laborador retrievers and now we own two beautiful goldendoodles who are spoiled rotten. I have cared for rottweilers, boxers and pit bulls. No matter the breed, we will make them feel right at home. Not only will your babies be safe with me, they will have fun running in the fenced back yard with Toby and Cooper. Recently retired so I am available to provide care to your furry friends. When I take care of your pet they will be spoiled, and we will have fun playing. Make plans to go away for a long weekend and drop your baby off to me. You deserve to have fun! We have one acre fenced in yard with plenty of shade trees. In the summer, they will have a kids pool to play in to cool off and plenty of dog toys to toss around. I am currently retired and have plenty of time to play with your fur baby while you go out of town. Your dog will become part of our family when they stay with us. They will have the option to sleep upstairs in our bedroom with our dogs. I have a fenced in back yard and plenty of toys for everyone to play with. We also have 2 well behaved golden doodles to play with your dog.

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life! Currently, I have an elderly Beagle mix and GSD, but growing up I had Corgis, Chihuahuas, Labs, and many more. Understanding the breed and how the owner interacts with their animal, their personality, helps me connect with them quickly! I am currently working from home. My dogs are inside and outside all day! I love taking a mental break and throwing the ball with them periodically throughout my workday. Tell me all the things your dog loves! I will make sure to care for them as closely and attentively as you do to make sure they feel peace in your absence.

About: I provide a loving and enriching environment for your dog either in your home or mine. I love to hang with kitties too,but that is only in your home as cats seem to do better there. I am self employed and set my own hours. I try to keep your pets routine as close to normal as possible. I provide enrichment activities, such as learning a new trick or puzzles. Etc. I have a fenced in yard and a dog who loves to play. I make it a point to keep your pets routine as close to yours as possible

About: My family loves animals and we would love to take in your pet for the day! We have a dog park and love to go on walks during the evening. Cats are also welcome as we love to snuggle them ❤️. Your pets will be safe and loved in our care and I am able to communicate with you over phone as much as you need during their stay. We currently just moved from an apartment to a townhome so we have a bit more space now for the animals to lounge around and play! I’m a full time at home mom! Taking care of animals makes me so happy. I always hoped to go into Veterinary medicine one day. Right now I have all the free time in the world to take care of your pets when needed ❤️ Pets will be able to run and play in our home. Feeding will depend on how often you need me to feed. Potty breaks often. Dog park on days with nice weather or walks through the trails in our neighborhood!

About: I’ve grown up on farms with many animals to include dogs and have raised them since I was young. Can’t wait to introduce myself to your fur baby’s and give them the love that they show us every day 😄 I’m currently in between jobs so my hours are flexible for your needs, always up for the exercise for a run or walk with your animals 😁 Currently only have a cat in a studio apartment so no space for a dog. My dog is back home in Ohio with my parents as I have no space here for him right now.
