Retired/Home Full-Time Dog Care 🐾

Thank you for considering my home for your dog’s care. To ensure the best experience for everyone, I only accept small hypoallergenic dogs that are fully potty trained and at least 2 years old. I live in Clinton, MD, and am retired, which allows me to provide full-time attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My daycare hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM. I accept only a limited number of dogs so that each guest receives individualized care in a calm, safe, and loving home environment. I have over 30 years of experience caring for dogs and understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident while they are away. My goal is to make each dog feel comfortable, secure, and at home. I have a friendly 14 year old male Yorkie/Poodle named Diego who is gentle and accustomed to sharing his space with visiting dogs. Dogs in my care have free roam of the house, access to a fenced backyard, and regular potty breaks every 2–3 hours, or as often as needed. There is also a patio area where dogs can relax in the sun or shade. I do my best to follow your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, rest time, playtime, and any special instructions you provide, so each stay feels familiar and stress-free. Because I am home most of the day, your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. I also send daily photos and updates so you can feel reassured knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and well cared for. If your dog is most comfortable with a crate or playpen, you are welcome to bring one. However, dogs are usually relaxed in the living room area with Diego.

Another great stay! This time much longer! Toni was absolutely amazing with my fur baby, Sunny. The communication and pictures sent throughout his stay gave me peace of mind while on vacation. I would rebook again and again without a doubt.

Doggy Day Care • Apr 07, 2026

Sunny had an amazing time at daycare! He truly didn’t want to leave, which says everything about how comfortable and happy he was. I received multiple pictures throughout the day, which I really appreciated. It gave me peace of mind seeing how much fun he was having. Toni's yard is spacious and beautifully maintained, making it a perfect and safe place for the dogs to play. Sunny especially enjoyed spending time with his new friend Diego, who is so calm and sweet. I will absolutely be booking again for both daycare and overnight stays. Highly recommend!

Doggy Day Care • Feb 24, 2026

After our meet and greet with Toni and Diego, my fur babies, Eva and Ezra enjoyed their first daycare today with Toni and Diego. Eva and Ezra had a great day and can’t wait until next time with their new cousin Diego.

Schedule

I am retired and home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and allows me to provide consistent attention throughout the day. I start my mornings early with potty breaks and breakfast around 8:00 AM. Mid-morning includes outdoor time, light exercise, and play in the fenced backyard, where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and activity. I balance playtime with quiet time so dogs can relax, nap, and feel comfortable in a calm home environment. Afternoon and evening include additional potty breaks, outdoor time, dinner, and more companionship throughout the day. I make every effort to follow each dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, rest periods, exercise, and any special instructions provided by the owner.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe, calm, and closely supervised home environment for every dog in my care. My fenced backyard allows for secure outdoor time, potty breaks, and play in a protected space. Dogs are always monitored during outdoor time and never left unattended.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day includes supervised outdoor time in the fenced backyard, fresh air, gentle exercise, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. Dogs can enjoy time outside with Diego, explore the yard, and relax indoors in a calm home environment. I also make sure there is quiet time for resting so each dog feels comfortable and not overstimulated. Owners are welcome to bring their dog’s favorite ball, toy, rope, blanket, bed, crate, or other comfort items to help them feel at home during their stay.

My daycare hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM. I only accept dogs that are hypoallergenic and fully potty trained and are at least 2 years old. Please let me know your dog’s feeding schedule, potty routine, temperament, energy level, and any special needs, and medications. It is also helpful to know how your dog interacts with other dogs, since my 14 year old Yorkie/Poodle (Diego) will be sharing the space. Diego is not crate trained, but if your dog is more comfortable using a crate or playpen, you are welcome to bring one for their visit. If I need to step out briefly, it would be for no more than 2 hours, and your dog will remain safely in the living room area or in their crate, if preferred.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
