Safety, trust & environment
You’re pets safety and comfort while staying in my home is my top priority! All of my animals get along great with others! With that being said I have a whole room in my home dedicated to the care of the pets I watch! This way if you’re pet is nervous during their stay they have a nice quiet place to relax with tons of toys for both cats and dogs! Cat towers and beds of all sizes!

Information Dionna S. would like to know about your pet
If your pup had a history of eating things they should not or need any kind of special attention that is absolutely fine with me! But I’d like to know ahead of this this way I have my accommodations all set for you and your pups :)
A typical day
My daily routine with my animals is to wake up, go potty and have some breakfast! Then we usually hang out at home for a bit and play while I get some work done. I have a fenced in back yard area so the pups can go outside and run around a bit! After that I take them on a nice long walk on a path by my townhouse! By this time I usually come home to relax and make some dinner for both me and the pups! Go on a nice walk after dinner to digest and go potty before we relax for the evening!

Pet care experience
I’m Dionna, the heart behind Close to Home. For over five years, I’ve dedicated myself to caring for animals—first as a veterinary assistant, and now through my own dog and cat boarding and walking business. My home is truly pet-friendly: dogs snooze on the couch, cuddle in bed during movie nights, and play outside in a safe, loving space. I specialize in giving each animal the kind of personalized, gentle care I’d want for my own—whether that means administering medication, trimming nails, or simply knowing when a pup needs a little extra love. When your pet stays with me, they’re treated like family—because to me, they are 🐾❤️
Reviews
Dionna S. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
I had a wonderful experience booking with Doinna's doggy day care. A special thank you for her prompt responses and flexibility — it really made the process smooth and stress-free. She was attentive, accommodating to my schedule, and clearly cares about providing the best experience. I feel confident leaving my dog here and truly appreciate the excellent service. Highly recommend!
Dionna was great! We left Matilda for the day while we went to the race track and it couldn’t have worked out better. She was so communicative and we appreciated the detailed updates. I can tell she’s a true dog lover!
Dionna was a pleasure to work with, great communication, friendly, flexible and convenient!
