Doggy Day Care Melrose

About: Hey my names Kenneth de arman , I have large amounts of knowledge on dog psychology and physiology. I have trained dogs for 9 years and have cared for numerous animals since I was 10. I have owned large dogs and small breeds. Also have owned an abundance of reptiles. I am certified in explosive detection. I specialize in obedience, socialization, behavior modification and I raised American Bullys for 8 years. I have owned a large number of dogs over 27 years. There isn’t anything that’s to much for me. What sets me apart of other people is that I work with all breeds but specifically working dogs. I am confident and have trained dogs from start to finish. If you need any help or have any questions I’d be more than welcome to answer them for you. I am available for drop in the am and pick up time around 5pm. I am never discouraged when it comes to caring for an animal. I make time and I will always move my schedule around so that the animals can be happy. I have a fenced yard that is split, boarders have been placed along the fence. This is to prevent fence fighting or becoming territorial. I have large water bowls I keep 2 outside. I refill the water ever 2-3 hours a day. I clean the yard with a pooper scooper three times a day. I spray the yard with cleaner and fly spray. I do this everyday 7 days a week. My dogs are usually outside from morning till night. I give them walks in between the day and I train my malinois a lot due to their high drive( trainer for 9yrs) . Always entertaining them and giving them something to do is crucial.

“Kai and I enjoyed Chawntea so much that we rebooked. As a first time furbaby mom it’s hard to just leave my baby with anyone. I am so glad to have found her.”

“Chad took excellent care of my young and energetic greyhound with a lot of separation anxiety. When I picked her up she was happy and excited, but she didn’t show any signs of distress. Prior to my dog’s stay at his home Chad had invited us over for a meet&greet and he took a lot of time to inquire about my dog’s character and behaviors, which made me very confident that things would be alright. Chad was also willing to accommodated my travel schedule. I am happy with the experience and hope he will be available next time I have to go out of town.”

I have a car aswell so transportation is easy. I spend a lot of time in my backyard and would love to play with more animals. It is completely fenced in. I have a fenced yard with lots of space to run. Im already very active and love to go on walks and hikes. I work at home so everyday i am here except for grocery shopping and errands!

“Baxter has stayed Andrea and her pups twice for daycare, with hopefully more days to come! Andrea has a gentle, kind spirit and seems very attuned to a dog's needs. At our meet & greet, she asked great questions about Baxter and his routines. She provided fun updates with pics a few times a day -- much appreciated!”

“I had a great experience with Korin! I left Maru with her for a few hours while we went out for a late dinner. Our dinner ran a little longer than expected, but she was so understanding and patient. We really appreciated their flexibility and kindness. Would definitely book with them again! ❤️”

About: What sets me apart is that I’ve long been the trusted, go-to pet sitter in my friend group. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, including month long stays with a young puppy where I supported potty training and first outdoor walks. I grew up with dogs, so caring for animals feels natural to me and something I genuinely love. Pet care is already part of my daily routine. I help care for two dogs at home, so feeding, walks, playtime, and general attention are things I’m involved with every day. This makes caring for other pets feel seamless and familiar. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and personality, whether in my home or a client’s home. I make sure feeding schedules are followed, fresh water is always available, and pets get plenty of attention, play, and exercise as needed. I keep living spaces clean, handle litter boxes or waste promptly, and prioritize comfort, safety, and consistency so pets feel relaxed and cared for in a familiar environment.

About: I grew up with 6 pit bulls, taking sun baths with them in my backyard. I’ve volunteered in SF SPCA and donate monthly. My best friend aka Herita is a rescue, she’s been with me for over 3 years now. I believe animals have taught me how to love unconditionally and responsibly. Calm, trust and safety are my top priorities. I hope you give me the chance to connect with you and your fur baby/ babies. I work from home. I normally take Hera on a walk every morning for about 30 mins. Come back and hit the gym. After that I’m free. I can always head over in the am, afternoon or evenings. I have a fenced yard, Herita is spayed and loves to play with other dogs. Her bff is a 3 y/o Doberman. Which I take care of a couple of times a week (take her out on walks and feed her)

“Patrice is amazing. Super happy me and Trinity found her!”

“My skittish large breed puppy was very happy in Toon's care. He really is excellent with dogs and dogs love him as well. He took him out on plenty of walks and time at the dog parks. Will certainly recommend him and we will be going to him a lot more in the future. We are so lucky he is in our area.”

“Sydney treated my dog as her own. Her space for them is lovely and she is kind and very accommodating to pets needs. I would bring my senior dog here again for sure ! Highly recommend”

“Shannon was a great communicator from the start and helped me out super last-minute when I was in a pinch with needing care for my pup. She was great with Lucy, shared photos and let me know all they had been up to. Lucy was happy when I picked her up and slept really great that night. Shannon was professional, super attentive, and her schedule flexibility is so appreciated!! I’m glad I found her and Rocky and look forward to Lucy getting to spend more time with them!”

“Such an amazing visit. Hudson had a blast and burned so much energy playing with oscar, he barely had the energy to make it home! ? Iryna provided frequent updates with pics throughout the day so we always knew what the little dude was up to. We will definitely be booking again!!”

“I decided to use Charlene's doggy day care service for our beloved Luna for the first time. Over the course of two days, Charlene demonstrated great flexibility by accommodating my specific drop-off time. Throughout Luna's stay, Charlene consistently shared updates and adorable photos, which really put my mind at ease while we were attending an event. I highly recommend Charlene's pet care service to anyone in search of exceptional care for their furry friends.”

“Meera took great care of my mini poodle puppy. She took him for a walk and paid special attention to his needs as a puppy who is too rambunctious at times. Meera was great to interact with because she is kind and thoughtful. I recommend her highly!”
