Sunny Day Dog Care
Pet care experience
Hello! I am a retired STEM teacher (Science Technology Engineering Math). I have cared for friends' dogs in my home when my schedule permitted, and now that I'm retired I am ready to enjoy this new-found flexibility and freedom with more dogs. I live close to Battle Creek Off-leash Dog Park, and I take my dog, Tilly, there every morning for an hour. She loves it! In the afternoons I take her on a leash walk in the bluffs above my house or to a nearby park. She loves that, too. (She pretty much loves everything and everyone.) At home, she loves to loll in the sunshine in my family room, or curl up in her dog bed by the computer when I'm checking emails and reading the paper, etc. She has some toys that I get out for her to play with too, although she doesn't have access to them all the time because I like to supervise. I'm not a control freak...just being careful! At night she sleeps in her dog bed right next to my bed. She gets a treat at bedtime and right after her walks, but never any people food. I can accommodate most of your dog's specific requirements, other than sleeping on my bed. I've taken care of elderly dogs and youngsters too. I've taken care of a dog recovering from a broken leg, as well as a dog with terminal cancer who required daily meds, so I don't shy away from special circumstances. I will also send photos and videos of your dog while you're gone so you can see how much fun we have. One more note about pricing: if you drop your dog off before noon or pick your dog up after noon, I will add $10 to the $25/night charge on those days, since that adds a half-day to my schedule. (Daycare rate is $20/day)
Reviews
Sunny gratefully sent us regular updates showing indoor and outdoor play and times relaxing. Her dog Tilly too was sweet and playful and received my dog very well. Sukha my dog was happy and content upon pickup and Sunny was gracious and caring - i would definitely utilize her services again in the future. Thank you!
We are so grateful for Sunny's wonderful care of Gus! He is an older dog and very set in his ways so we worried a little worried at first. On top of that, we had a bit of an emergency the day we were dropping off, which really was worrisome! Gus arrived at Sunny's, straight from the vet with an abscessed tooth and medications to administer. That did not bother Sunny in the least; she reassured me that this should not put a damper on our vacation. We were kept in the loop and supplied with pictures throughout the week. Tillie, Sunny's dog, is a wonderful little girl as well. The entire experience, from first contact to pick up, was top notch! Thank you so much, Sunny & Tillie!! Denise Peterson
Sunny would be an excellent choice for your dog care needs! Very attentive, compassionate and responsible and the big plus if you're a dog, LOTS of walks! When I am with Sunny I get its of walks and I'm a human. A+++
Sunny will not just take care of your dog, she will treat it as if it's her own. She is passionate about animals and will see to it that your wishes for your pet are followed to a T. She has taken care of my Cavalier in the past and Gracie is returned to me with her tail wagging and her spirits high. Sunny is a sure bet for keeping your dog content while you're gone.
