Doggy Day Care in Menard

About: I've been an animal lover and pet companion my entire life. I worked in veterinary hospitals previously and have achieved the highest possible volunteer status at Heart of the Valley Animal Shelter. I am experienced in working with animals from a wide range of backgrounds and needs, and I pride myself in providing care that keeps your furry family members safe and comfortable. I am an excellent communicator and very dependable, so you will never be left feeling in the dark or wondering what’s going on while your pet is in my care. I've cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds as well as cats, rabbits, reptiles, rodents, fish, horses, chickens, and goats. I am comfortable and experienced caring for seniors, pets with special needs, allergies and dietary restrictions, and pets that require medication. I hope that my experience with an array of animals of varying medical and behavioral profiles leaves you feeling confident that your family members are in good hands with me! I work remotely, making me capable of caring for your pet(s) in your home or my own. I have flexibility with my schedule, so I can accommodate most feeding, exercise, and break routines your pets are used to! I have a fenced yard on 1/3 of a acre, live in a quiet neighborhood near a paved trail, and am half a mile away from a small local dog park. Our pets are part of our family, and your pet is, too, while in my care! My two dogs and three cats are all allowed on furniture and beds. We separate everyone for feeding (and as needed when there are furry guests staying with us), and each animal in my home or that I care for experiences lots of snuggles, play time, exercise, and plenty of peace and quiet as well.

“Zeus has an amazing time. He came home happy and tired from so much fun. I really liked that he was with other dogs and kids to keep him socialized.”

About: I grew up having dogs and learned to take care of them at an early age. I have also taken care of several different breeds and enjoy the company of every kind! I have a flexible schedule during the week and my husband works from home, so we have ample time to care for your dogs. We are flexible and easy to communicate and work with! We live in a very pet friendly apartment complex that is air conditioned and has access to plenty of outdoor parks and walking trails. Dogs in our home will get plenty of attention and love!

“Very detailed report and lots of pics!”

About: Please be sure to read “Requested Information about your pet” section! Thank you! l've been caring for dogs/cats since I was young. I love playful and energetic animals, but I also have a special soft spot for seniors who need a little extra patience and love. I'm detail-oriented and attentive. I can follow a strict medical or feeding schedule as needed. Communication is a huge priority for me. I will keep you posted and reassured with daily updates and photos. I have plenty of time to give your pet attention and care. This is useful for pets with separation anxiety or those who need medication during the day. I share my home with two small dogs, so it's important that visiting pups are friendly. They enjoy playing, but are happy to give your pup space as well. We have a fenced backyard and a doggy door for easy outdoor access, but if your dog isn't used to one, I'm happy to let them in and out as needed.

“Josie and her husband are AMAZING! Pinot came back tired and happy and he had the best time running around her yard. You can see she has great energy and he just loved spending time there!”

“Olivia is very nice and good with dogs. She has a beautiful home with a big yard for the dogs. My dogs loved her dog Ruby. We would definitely use Olivia again as the dogs had a great time & were well cared for!”

“Mateo had a great time with Savannah. I loved that she sent pictures and kept me updated without even having to be asked. He required some special care due to medical issues and Savannah was more than willing to accommodate. Very friendly and Mateo left doggy day care tired and happy. Will definitely use her services again the next time I need a sitter!”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 5 (big goofy golden & a sweet puggle). I’ve become the unofficial designated dog watcher within my circle and want to continue to care for pups whenever I can! I’m currently not in a position to have a dog of my own, so I am really excited for the opportunity to take care of someone else’s 4 legged friend. I work from home so I am available to take breaks throughout the day so your dog can get some good walks in and as many potty breaks needed. I live in a very spacious apartment with one roommate who also loves dogs as well. If you want to crate your dog I have more than enough room for you to bring your crate.

“Bonnie took wonderful care of our dog Penny! This was our first experience with Rover, and we were a bit anxious about it overall. Bonnie kept us up to date with how Penny was doing and even sent photos to let us know how she was doing. We couldn’t have asked for someone better to take care of our pup!”

“Elizabeth and John provided our two young black lab pups with a perfect environment that was stimulating, fun, and safe. Five days of doggy day care - our pups jumped in the back of the car excited to be heading back there every morning. They came home exhausted! Elizabeth made sure I had lots of video and pics of the pair throughout the day. My separation anxiety was short-lived. These two young people love dogs and ours became part of their family. We highly recommend their services. Our dogs are looking forward to their next visit!”

About: Hi! I’m Peyten, and dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with pets and currently have two dogs of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your dog like family. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve spent years watching friends’ and family members’ dogs and figured it was finally time to create a profile and help other dog owners too! I work from home full-time, which means your dog will get lots of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day — not just quick check-ins. We also have a fully fenced backyard, and my dogs and I love walks, hikes, park trips, and spending time outside. Whether your dog is high-energy or prefers couch cuddles, I’m happy to match their vibe and routine. I’ll always follow your care instructions closely and make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and right at home. I’m also happy to send updates and photos during their stay if that’s something you’d like! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I work from home full-time and already care for my own two dogs every day. My schedule allows for regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of supervision throughout the day — not just mornings and evenings. We’re active and love getting outside for walks, hikes, or park trips, but there’s also plenty of downtime for dogs who prefer a calmer routine. I’m happy to follow whatever routine or schedule the owner has for their dog to help them feel comfortable and at home. Since I work from home, I regularly let my dogs outside for fresh air and playtime throughout the day, and we usually fit in walks, hikes, or a game of fetch at the park during the week.

“Tori (and Bo) were great! I had a drastic change in pick up time and Tori adapted, no problem. She sent update pics and was quick to respond to texts. I’d book with Tori again.”

“Tucker had a great time this week hanging out with Sarah and her family as well as her dog Jo Jo! Tucker and Jo Jo became fast friends and were such a great fit, playing all day. I highly recommend Sarah and look forward to reaching out again soon.”

Nicole H.

“Betsy and Al were communicative, flexible, and attentive! Stevie has a lot of energy, and it’s so nice to know she’s with someone who will take her out and make sure she gets enough engagement throughout the day. I feel so much better going out of town leaving my dog in excellent hands!”

About: I have had animals in my life since I was born: cats, dogs, horses and even a house pig, so I have a wide range of experiences. Currently, I have 16 unbroken years of having anywhere between 1-4 dogs living with me. Each animal is unique and they have ranged from high energy to low, special diets, aggression issues, anxiety issues, and specific medication requirements. In every circumstance where the fur baby was not my own, their parents were always more than happy with the pictures/updates I would send while they were away and the care their animals received. Animals are a passion for me and I look forward to watching over yours! I currently am pursuing new job opportunities so am available 7 days a week with only a few 4-6 hour blocks that I may need to be away. However my fiance works remotely in our home so when I am away he will be here should I be caring for your pet in our home. My fiance and I are currently in a two story, cozy house with a fully fenced half acre yard. We have the sweetest staffordshire terrier that loves everyone and everything and loves to make new friends (four legged or two). Also, while there are dogs in the neighborhood that sometimes bark and the train runs nearby, the house is in a quiet subdivision on the outskirts of Belgrade which is lovely for animals that may be stressed by a lot of loud noise. I do ask for an outline for food and med times/amounts to make sure I am keeping with a schedule If babysitting in your home, I will be on my own and will abide by any and all requests for keeping your pet comfortable and honoring your rules for maintaining your house in a manner that you will feel like you had never left.

About: I know it can be hard to find a sitter for your sighthound(s)! We have two full-size greyhounds that are ex-racers and that do well with their own kind; we'd love to be a resource for other sighthound (greyhound, whippet, irish wolfhound, etc.) owners looking for someone to watch their dog(s). We have a fenced yard so our dogs get to be outside a lot between letting them out back and long walks to and around the neighborhood. I work from home and/or are home with toddlers, and have room and time to take care of your dog(s). Our dogs really do best with greyhounds, but if you have a large, low-energy dog, we could do a meet and greet and see how they do together! They generally do well with a dog that will respect their space. We have a toddler and baby so your dog will need to be good around kiddos! I'm home with my kids so I'm able to take the dogs on walks, and plenty of social time! Especially when the weather is good, they love to spend time in the yard. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs, I like to offer lots of pets and play and socialization! We have dog beds throughout the house and outside.

About: I’ve taken care of pets of every kind since I was about 10 years old. We had chickens, goats, horses, cows, dogs, cats, and a peacock growing up. I’ have two dogs of my own and I’ve owned horses for the last 20 years of my life’s I’m currently working part-time early mornings so I am home all day to spend time with your pet. When I am work, my partner is home in case of any emergency. We have 10 acres of unfenced property for your dog to run. We also have a fenced in deck for dogs to enjoy sunshine and listen to the birds while we are home. We often take dogs on Ike’s or to the dog park if you would like.

“Nicole was so kind and helpful watching my pup! I was in town for a couple days for my sisters graduation and Nicole was very understanding when pickup was slightly behind schedule due to event length and sent a photo and updates their first morning together.”
