Small dog day care

Pet care experience

I have taken care of pets all of my adult life. We had 2 beagle mix puppies that were litter mates that I cared for, along with another stray older dog, and 2 cats for about 12 years. Took in my brother's chihuahua when he went to a nursing home. Fell in love with small dogs. I now have a small Chihuahua/Pug mix and have been looking for daycare for him for the days I work at the office. I thought I could help someone in a similar situation - someone with an anxious little dog afraid to stay alone - ) by taking care of another small, potty-trained, well-behaved dog on those days I am working from home and my little Boo could enjoy having a playmate.

Brenda has been a wonderful mother to our several fur babies, over the course of many years. Brenda has never settled for anything but the best for our cats and dogs, be it their diet, veterinary care, or their lodging. Brenda is always kind and loving, and even when disciplining, never acts in anger, is always calm/assertive. Brenda has gone above and beyond for little Boo Boo, who is a rescue, and has a lot of anxiety. He has come a long way from the terrified little dog that we brought home from the shelter, and has blossomed under Brenda's loving care. I would not hesitate to leave any animal in Brenda's care. She is kind and loving, and treats all animals (and people!) with love and respect.

I was so thrilled when I received this (I have used Rover many times) and to write this recommendation for Brenda. Brenda is wonderful with dogs! She is very patient, outgoing and friendly! I think she's a natural! I also believe she has the experience as she has handled and "nurtured" pets (specifically dogs) of all different sizes for a long period of time. I have seen her interact with other dogs and she is great. She would be excellent for this !

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard. I have one 10-pound small dog and a small 8-pound cat. I have a very large, shady backyard with lots of areas to explore or just lay in the grass. I also have a small crate if your dog feels safer there for any part of the day. I never leave my dog (or yours) alone.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or if he has preferences about eating, sleeping, or playing and I will make sure his needs are met.

A typical day

I have a large backyard to explore and run and jump and play. Also, lots of toys indoors to play with my little chihuahua. If your small dog is like mine, it will also want a comfy, safe place to nap during the day, so that will be provided.
