Buddy's Doggy Day Care

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs for most of my entire life. Either family pets, or friends' fur babies. Your furry family member is in good hands! I work from home with my fur-colleague Buddy. As people are returning to the office, we want to offer our home as a place where your dog can hang out and nap comfortably! Drop your pet off on your way to the office, and pick them up whenever you're finished for the day or enjoy your vacation knowing your pet is in good hands! Buddy is a really mellow five-year-old mutt. We take 3-4 walks per day between meetings for potty-breaks and some mild-exercise. Occasionally we go to the local dog-parks, or Coyote Hills for a little more exercise and socializing, but those are mostly weekend activities. For a typical day, Buddy naps while I'm working - but he would love to host a playmate during the day! I'm requesting a week's notice for first-time clients so we can schedule a convenient time to allow our dogs time to meet each other on neutral ground to ensure they get along! Buddy gets way more attention than he can handle. He'd probably prefer we leave him alone more often and let him nap peacefully! We have a semi-fenced in yard, but because it isn't completely secured Buddy is only allowed back there with supervision. Buddy gets some treats throughout the day, and your pup would get the same! We make sure Buddy only gets treats that are minimally processed and try to avoid too many chemicals. We limit his human food consumption to minimal amounts, if any. We will give your pup any treats you provide, but Buddy is willing to share some of his, too! For boarders, we will only feed your dog food you have provided & approved treats. For Boarding customers: please provide food for your dog, a favorite toy, vet information, and finally a blanket/bed/article-of-clothing familiar to your dog so they have the scent of home and feel comfortable! A general schedule your dog is accustomed to would also be very helpful!

Kenny was great! We were able to meet at dog park beforehand and Luke was very well taken care of. My dog typically doesn’t like guys but he really liked Kenny. He also accommodated us to watch him from very early morning so I am very grateful for that! He sent me a lot of pictures and communicated very well via texts. Highly highly recommended!!

Kenny (and Buddy) took such great care of my 2yo lab mix Rocky - I highly recommend!!! Kenny is so kind and was able to be flexible on our pickup time when our flight came in late. He also sent photos every day of the dogs walking and playing together and having a great time. Rocky can be a bit of a handful (2yo energy, plus some leash reactivity) but Kenny took it all in stride. Thank you Kenny! We will be back! :)

Kenny is awesome and made my doggy feel at home while away from home. Highly recommended and will definitely use him in the future!

It's always a little nerve wracking when you first drop your dog off with a stranger but I am so glad I took a chance on Kenny has Rogue's sitter, at a friend's recommendation. Kenny has a large clean and quiet space with an outdoor area and space for walks without having to drive anywhere. Rogue and Buddy (Kenny's resident dog) get along so well, it's almost sad when I have to break them up when I come to pick him up. Kenny has a fantastic awareness of dogs and their behaviors and I can trust that Rogue is in good hands when I'm away.

Information Kenny N. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your dog's energy level! For day-care pups, I do still have meetings & work priorities throughout the day. High-energy dogs may not get the full stimulation that they require throughout a typical workday. Buddy is very mellow and medium/low energy. Any pups that matching Buddy's energy level are preferred so they can play and nap together!

A typical day

For day-care pups: we'll take a couple walks around the complex for stimulation & potty-breaks. We have plenty of stuffed animals toys to destroy (under a watchful eye to not swallow squeakers) and other chew-toys for your dog to enjoy throughout the day! And plenty of napping locations! For boarders: dog dependent (and with owner permission) we can take your pup to the dog park for some socialization or on some local hikes around Coyote Hills or Quarry Lakes. It all depends on what your dog wants and needs!
