Doggy Day Care in Merrick

“I will start off by stating Pamela truly a magnetic bubbly human being, her energy alone made me feel safe leaving Keanu in her care. Keanu he felt right at home immediately, and there was an instantaneous connection. Her home is immaculate, a great dog setting which in turn is 100% inviting for all pups. She is a gem and so is her animal loving hubby Jose. The countless videos, pictures are perfect and just makes me feel comfortable throughout his stay with Pamela. She shares her nutritious food and treats and he actually ate well (mini poodle picky eater). You will not be disappointed she is a true animal lover....her vibrant energy begins at her door and just elevates the owner and doggie like magic. Keanu is now a repeat daycare client and would have zero concerns when I need boarding. Thank you PAMELA”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always loved taking care of friend’s and family’s dogs! I love going for walks so I’m sure your pup will enjoy that! I’m available to board on all days of the week! I work in clinical research remotely so your dog will get lots of attention and will go for several walks throughout the day. There are no restrictions on drop off or pick up times. We live in a really quiet neighborhood so walks are peaceful! There’s a park where we can walk around and enjoy the outdoors. In our home, we have an open set up and would love for your dog to spend as much time with us as possible. But if your pup needs some alone time, we have a separate area for your pup to decompress. We have a 3 year old toddler who loves dogs! We’ve taught him how to pet pups gently and he loves giving treats! He won’t interact with your dog unless the dog initiates. He stays away from the food and water bowl.

“Trying to find a great babysitter has been one of the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do especially since I own a large breed puppy! Those feelings changed after I met Vanessa and her family. They are the most loving family I’ve ever met! I felt very assured that my german shepherd puppy was in good hands. I cannot thank Vanessa enough for the amazing service she has provided!”

About: Have had dogs my whole life. I am very patient and kind to dogs. My wife and I have a fenced yard. Our last dog was 18 years old and we loved her to the end. I’m currently working 4 days a week at home so have plenty of time to play with the dog, feed the dog or let the dog outside to play. I can also walk the dog a few times throughout the day as needed. I have a fenced yard and work from home so can easily watch your dog in a safe environment and will be able to give your pet the attention it deserves.

“It was a pleasure meeting Nachay at our meet & greet. She accommodate my last minute schedule changes for our 5 mos old pup for our son's wedding reception day. She also accommodated our schedule day of the event. Nachay sent lots of pictures and frequent updates. Our pup got to socialize and was a tired pup when we got her home. Thank you and looking forward to our next visit.”

“Kierra was amazing with my baby boy Cosmic! She treated him like he was her own, and he loved playing with the kids! She sent pictures of him throughout the day and took great care of him. I’ll be sure to book her again in the future when I need to. Thanks Kierra!”

About: My family and I all love animals, so we applied to be pet's sitters at home care. We have a independent house with a yard, and there will always be someone at home 24 hours a day. The pets can move freely at home without too many restrictions. We have regularly clean to the house to ensure the clean and hygiene environment for all pets. I have over a year of experience in taking care of cats and over six years of experience in taking care of dogs. The longest time I took care of a cat was for two months. At the beginning, the cat would hide under the sofa for a week, but lately he became completely unrestrained and would lie on the bed together, play hide-and-seek with me, and explore every corner of the house. When the weather was good, the dogs could play freely in the yard. Welcome all cats and dogsto my home, we are the best friends of your pets! We can keep daily routine for all pet's. I am working part-time on weekends and I will come back at 4PM , but my family members are off on weekends. And my family members and I take care of all pets together. We have a independent house with a yard, and there will always be someone at home 24 hours a day. The pets can move freely at home without too many restrictions. We have regularly cleaning to the house to ensure the clean and hygiene environment for all pets. When the weather was good, the dogs could play freely in the yard.

“I fear words pale in describing how fantastic Kayla and her family are! Todd simply did not want to leave, and she is wonderfully communicative, thoughtful, and patient. In short, she and her family are magnificent!”

About: For the past few years I’ve been the number one contact in my family to pet sit. From small to large dogs I’ve been paid to feed, walk, and brush them. Additionally, I have experience training and grooming my own dog. I’m a New Paltz student and although I have classes during the week, I am still willing and able to take care of your pets at times where I don’t have class and weekends! Although I cannot care for pets in my own home, I’m very respectful when it comes to entering others homes! The boundaries clients set will always be respected and I take pride in my abilities to properly care for and walk dogs.

About: Attentiveness, love and kindness. I give them the care they deserve not just need. I have had animals 25 years. I need animals as much as they need us. I am available to give injections and medications as our current cat has diabetes. I work from home so I am available the majority of the day besides errands. I also have cared for a senior yellow lab for the last several years before he went over the rainbow bridge. I’ve had cats my whole adult life while Most of our friends and family have dogs. I really enjoy watching my sisters poodle and cavalier mix. I have also care for my mother in laws dog who was over 100 pounds. Growing up with a shitzue im very familiar with small and large breeds with many different temperaments . I work from home so I am easily available and love the company . I love walking so long walks and potty breaks are easily do able . We will be with the pet most the day besides errands. I would never accept a job If i wasn't home the majority of the day for that animal. I have a fenced in yard, an alarm system and are aware of dogs signals and needs to be able to build trust with them to make sure they are comfortable. With having two children as well my first priority is always safety. I would also be able to send pictures of your pet while you are away so you can see their daily activity as well. If facetime is a request I can accommodate that as well.

About: For quite a few years I’ve taken care of dogs for family members, families all over Long Island and never disappointed! I’ve loved dogs all my life and still do. They’re honestly like family to me and I always treat my family with care, respect and love which is what a dog needs. I also have 2 dogs of my own and they is just the best thing that happened to me honestly and that’s why I’m working for this company because I’ve found something that I could work for and love doing what I do at the same time. I treat every dog like they’re mine! Every dog that has been to my house they are treated like our family, care for every one of them. I currently just graduated college so as of right now I am home full time! Sometimes I go out to run a few errands which means I put the dogs in a crate but my mother works from home 2 days out of the week so if she’s there she’ll keep them out and moving around on their own! Other than that I am very free for now! In my home I have a huge clean yard that runs through the back, side and front it is fenced so the dogs could run freely around for some daily exercise. I also have two dogs of my own that’ll definitely keep your lovely dog(s) company. They are very playful and welcoming, one is 4 years old and the other one is 3 years old, with all their shots and up to date with all doctor appointments. This is a smoke free house also. Your baby will be happy&safe here!

About: I’ve had dogs all of my life. I’ve had small dogs such as Yorkies, Medium dogs, such as Poodles and Terriers and Large dogs, such as a Redbone hound! I feed, give treats, play, walk, bath and most of all - LOVE on all of my pets! I just love all animals, I have my whole life 🐾❤️ If we went back in time, and you asked we the infamous question "what do you want to be when you grow up", my response was "A Veterinarian". Unfortunately, I didn't go that route because I'm unable to see animals sick and suffering :( I ENJOY seeing and playing with happy, healthy pups... and I will treat your dog the way that I treat my babies!!! I’m currently working Full Time from my home, and I take frequent breaks to care for my animals. I’m off on the weekends, so I’ll have more time to play, walk and take care of your pup! I enjoy being home and I feel so fortunate that I'm able to make my own schedules from here. I have a dog sitter on Rover for our dog. When we first used her, of course - I was nervous, which is totally normal. BUT - after his first visit with the sitter, he came home happy and healthy!! I lOVED how it was 1:1 sitting. She was very responsive too when we were away, which I very much appreciated. I love this dog service and just because of my love of animals, too - I've decided to become a sitter myself !!! I have a full fenced in yard with a big patio to sunbathe. We also have grass and a semi-inground pool. Our dog is a friendly Redbone Hound that LOVES other dogs. He’s the friendliest dog ever. He’s out in the yard a ton during the nice days, and LOVES the snow, too! I have 2 daughters ages 11 and 8 who have the same love for pets as I do. I’ve been so lucky my whole life to have had such amazing pets.

“Michael D. did a fantastic job taking care of our dog, Penny! He was attentive, responsible, and clearly cared about her well-being. Penny seemed happy and well looked after when we returned. We are delighted with his service and will be using him again in the future.”

About: **Now dog first aid trained ‼️** *no longer accepting multiple times per week recurring bookings due to 9-5 job* Hi there! My name is Bre and I am new to Rover. I have been taking care of pets on and off since I was about 16. In my teen years I regularly took care of 2 dogs and 3 cats for a family during their vacations.

I’m happy to start with meet and greets if that would make you feel more comfortable ! My schedule is mostly work from home with a few travel weeks a year. I travel roughly every 2-3 months for about a week at a time. When I am not traveling for work I am mostly working from home or in the office with a flexible schedule. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly senior dog at home. I am happy to do drop ins to give your pet some love any time. My dog has a basic training degree and I have experience with many kinds of dogs.

About: My passion is taking care of others, including your pets! I have had a dog in the home since I was 12 years old. I find that the love we give and receive to animals is special and important. Please contact me for any scheduling concerns! I have a dog of my own who I make sure gets 3-4 30min-2 hour walks/day so if your pup is staying with me those are guaranteed. I have also been a volunteer EMT for 6 years and I am currently an Emergency Medicine PA, which has given me a lot of responsibility and experience. I have been a nanny upwards of 8 years whose families all had pets! I have a dog of my own who I love and care for daily. He has made me happy in so many ways and I only hope to do the same for your pets too. My dog is very well behaved and disciplined while also loving other dogs! If your dog is not friendly with other animals that is no problem for the daily walk. If your dog is a bit older or just not crazy about other dogs also no problem- my dog is a vibe matcher he will always back off if another dog is uninterested. If your dog does get along with other dogs great news, my dog will definitely tire them out!
