Doggy Day Care in Mechanicstown

About: As a doctor, I’ve spent years caring for people of all ages and I bring that same compassion, patience, and attention to detail to the pets I look after. What sets me apart is my medical background and calm, caring approach to both routine and unexpected situations. I’m comfortable helping with pets who need a bit of extra attention, like seniors, those on medication, or anxious animals, always ensuring they feel safe and cared for. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old, when I started helping my neighbors with their pets while they were away. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments — from playful puppies who need consistency and training, to older dogs who require gentler care and medication on schedule. In the past, I’ve also trained many dogs, focusing on consistency, positive reinforcement, and gentle play to help them learn and have fun. Whether your pet needs structured walks, quiet companionship, or a steady hand during medication time, I’ll treat them like one of my own family members. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m an early riser and make time every day for walks, play, and check-ins. My work schedule is flexible, allowing me to plan visits around each pet’s needs—whether it’s morning exercise, midday drop-ins, or evening companionship. Caring for animals is a relaxing and rewarding part of my week. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I give my own. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, and keep pets safe with close supervision indoors and secure leashes outdoors. I focus on helping pets feel comfortable and calm, especially when their families are away, so they always feel cared for and at ease.

“Alexis was a dream dog sitter. Her house is lovely with lots of space and a fenced in yard. She was also a great communicator, and I felt fully at ease leaving my pup in her care. I would definitely return the next time I need a sitter.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Sandra, our Rover sitter! Our dogs were clearly well cared for, and the little extra touches made it even more special — they came home with a star and a goodie bag, which was such a thoughtful surprise. Communication was great, I received pictures and a video of their day. We would absolutely book again!”

“Cristina was very kind and sweet. My 8 month old puppy seemed very happy and comfortable when we dropped him off and picked him up. I will definitely ask Cristina to dog sit for me again if she’s available.”

“It was my first time leaving my baby with anyone. Amy was very pleasant and my pup loved her the moment she came to greet him. He went crazy with her family and her own pups. I picked up a calm dog which is never the case with my baby, hes always extra excited to see me, so that means he was OK, he had fun and wasn't nervous/concerned while in her care which was a huge relieve for me. Looks like he had a good time there. Highly recommend.”

“This was my first time leaving my dog for boarding and using the Rover app.Jonathon went above and beyond to take care of my dog I even ran out of food and he offered to run to the store to grab some more. Throughout the stay he updated me and sent pictures easing some of my anxiety. I now know I have someone that I can rely on and my dog will be taking good care of and I will be using.Jonathon for my future boarding needs! I’ve also recommended him to my friends as well.”

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I grew up with dogs, cats, fish, lizards, and a chinchilla. My friends made a joke that my house was a zoo with all the animals we had. I love animals and I can’t imagine my life without a furry pet. I’m home for the summer before my job starts in September. Free during the weekends or weekdays for boarding, house sitting, or walking. I’m very flexible for hours. My dog is very good off leash in our backyard. We take her on hikes all the time to tire her out. My cats are older and have to take medication but they love snuggling up with my dog.

“Our high maintanence boy had very good care. Great with communicating. Even re contacted me for the sitting initially unable to do after she had a cancellation.”

“Jayne was an exceptional puppy sitter. She treated and loved Daisy as if she were her own. She sent photos to help pass the time and was overly accommodating. I will most definitely bring Daisy back for another visit soon. Thank you!”

“Julia was so amazing with my 4 month old puppy Hawthorne. She invited me into her home to show me the space and it made me feel so much more at ease. She was very communicative and shared lots of updates during his stay. I’m looking forward to booking with her again very soon!”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and currently still have them. I decided to start dog sitting when I couldn’t find anyone for my own dogs that I could really trust. Your baby will enjoy their own vacation while his/her family is away and will love the whole time. We love your dog as if him/her are our own. Lots of dogs feel bad leaving I have lots of repeat families and they can’t believe how happy their baby is when they finally realize where they are when they pull in the driveway. You’ll receive tons of pics and updates throughout their stay. I’m home with your fur baby all the time. The dog is allowed to sleep in any bed or room. I treat your pet as good as my own. My dogs love to hang with new dogs. I play with them all the time if they want. We have a very loving. Home and every dog that comes here always has a hard time leaving. We truly love on your baby ! I have a fenced yard and 2 dogs very friendly dogs that will keep your dog company! Lots of kisses and love here! 🐶 ❤️

“Amazing place for our dogs to stay at and convenient distance from my parents house! Had a nice size yard gated to run around, dog pools to cool off, and a “calm room” for down time. Irwin and Yogi loved their visit and definitely will be back!”

I’ve owned at least one dog all of my life and I know how challenging it can be to find trusting, reliable dog sitters & I’m happy to help with boarding or drop ins for walking, feeding, etc. My dog would love to have another dog to play with, walk with, nap with, she desperately wants a dog bestie❤️, we would love the opportunity to love and care for your pet!! I work full time from home, dog walks will be 4-5 times a day or on command. I currently walk a total of 3 to 4 miles a day with my dog but we can customize that for whatever pet we are lucky enough to take care of! My home is very dog friendly with dog beds located throughout, a warm fireplace to nap in front of, and a surplus of pet toys.

“Isabell is great. She took the time to make sure my Abby was comfortable with everything and everybody. I used her during a medical procedure I was having and she made me feel so comfortable leaving my dog in such a great environment it took a lot of stress off me. Can’t say enough good things about Isabell and her family”
