Doggy Day Care In Merritt

“Andy is wonderful - my dog Sidney is always so happy to see him when I drop her off for daycare (usually once a week). When I arrive to pick her up, she generally doesn't want to leave! She gets multiple walks per day and enjoys time with their dog Millie. They are accommodating of my crazy schedule and very flexible about drop-off and pick-up time. I very highly recommend these folks - they take great care of my baby!”

“If you're anything like me, the guilt of being away at work all day weighs on me, but knowing that instead, my fur-baby is now getting tons of attention, pets, walks, and love puts my mind at ease. Getting cuddles from Van Joseph and Matthew, the company of their sweet little dogs, and soft blankets to sleep in is priceless! I got so many precious photos which brightened my day! Overjoyed to have found Van Joseph and Matthew to care for my sweet girl Petunia!!”

“Another great week with Azar for Jojo! She's always so excited to see Azar that she starts dancing when we pull into the driveway. Will definitely book again!”

“Baxter has stayed Andrea and her pups twice for daycare, with hopefully more days to come! Andrea has a gentle, kind spirit and seems very attuned to a dog's needs. At our meet & greet, she asked great questions about Baxter and his routines. She provided fun updates with pics a few times a day -- much appreciated!”

“Jason and his wife are some of the nicest people. They took good care of my pups during their stay. Kept me updated and very accommodating. I ran into some last minute work situations on the day of my pups' stay and was going to be late to our agreed and planned pick up time. Jason accommodated to my late arrival request and assured me the pups will be well taken care of in the extra hour. Will definitely come back should I ever need a sitter again!”

“I really appreciated the quick and clear communication, including specific care Jakree gave our dog while he was with him for the day. He sent photos throughout the day which was comforting to see. He has a dog friendly backyard where my dog had fun playing with the other dogs in his care. I will definitely reach out to Jakree again.”

About: I’ve cared for pets for years and I genuinely love being around animals. I’m the kind of sitter who notices the little things—energy changes, appetite, stress cues—and adjusts to help your cat or dog feel comfortable. I’m consistent with routines (walks, feeding, play, quiet time), respectful of your house rules, and I’ll send regular photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. Right now I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to be present and attentive throughout the day. I plan my routine around pets’ needs—morning and evening walks, regular potty breaks, meals on your schedule, and plenty of calm check-ins. I’m happy to accommodate early drop-offs/pickups when possible, and I’ll communicate clearly about timing. I’m careful, calm, and safety-focused. I follow your instructions closely (feeding, meds, routines, house rules) and I’m attentive to behavior cues so pets feel secure—not overwhelmed. I’m mindful with doors, leashes, and transitions, and I keep a clean, low-stress environment. You’ll get regular photo updates, and I’ll reach out quickly if anything seems off.

About: I am Reiki Level 1 attuned, which supports my ability to stay centered, observant, and gentle—especially with anxious pets, senior animals, rescues, and animals adjusting to new environments. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for rabbits (bunnies) and understand that they require a quieter, more intentional approach. I’m attentive to their routines, body language, and need for a low-stress environment. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule to allow for consistency, flexibility, and focused time with the animals I care for, rather than squeezing them in between obligations. Because I prioritize calm, attentive care, I’m intentional about how many bookings I accept at one time. This allows me to be fully present—whether that means maintaining routines, giving extra reassurance, or adjusting to a pet’s unique needs. In a client’s home, I treat the space with care and discretion. I’m mindful of routines, feeding schedules, walks, litter or habitat maintenance, medications if needed, and any specific instructions provided. I keep environments clean, quiet, and grounded so pets feel secure in their familiar surroundings. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, low-stress environment and am selective about the number of animals I take at one time to ensure focused attention. I prioritize safety, gentle supervision, and intentional interaction rather than overstimulation.

“Latricia is great. My dog has been staying with her pretty consistently. Hope for more in the future. In fact was hoping for an overnight stay this weekend but she is booked. ”

“Tamara took such good care of our pup who has a lot of separation anxiety. He had so much fun playing with her dogs and came back so tired and happy. I’m sure our dog can’t wait to go back!”

“Athena is great! Rockee is always excited to see her in the morning, and I appreciate her flexibility with my work schedule and open communication. She’s also been helping with Rockee’s reactivity and I’ve noticed a calmer demeanor when he’s around other dogs. Thank you Athena!”

About: As a dedicated and experienced pet sitter, I am passionate about providing the best care possible for all types of pups. As a specialized pet sitter for bully breeds and small dogs, I understand the unique needs and quirks of these adorable dogs. With years of experience and a deep love for all things pup, I am committed to providing the highest level of care and attention to your furry friend. Everything from numerous short walks and playtime (temperature permitting) to feeding and medication administration, you can trust me to provide reliable and compassionate care for your dog. I am dedicated to ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. My home has ramps to access all furniture and gates to prevent pups from running up and down stairs to protect their spines and potential IVDD flare ups. Our morning starts off with a walk around the neighborhood, then it’s breakfast time which means training and play with positive reinforcement! Your pup then has playtime with toys and with my dog Penelope if they are up for it or can snooze away. We then take a quick walk during lunch to stretch our legs and say hi to our friends at Rocky’s. After work we love to be in nature and hit the trails or parks to get some steps in! After dinner I love nothing more than to cuddle with the pups on my couch before bed! We have an outdoor deck that the dogs always have access to. Mostly serves as a sunbathing lounge 😎. The deck is also equipped with grass patches for easy potty breaks. Your pup with have the company of my dog, Penelope. She is a playful and well behaved French bulldog. I have a robust routine for her to keep her healthy and prevent her from being affected from her predisposed IVDD. I can easily incorporate any special needs or request that your day may need.

“Brittany was really nice and our dog Burt seemed to do really well with her! At drop off he just went right with her! He got a few walks in and got along with Brittany's dog Basco. Burt generally prefers chill-er companions and it seems like Basco was that. Would definitely return to Brittany for future care.”

About: Growing up in a family that always had dogs, I’ve spent over seven years caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I raised my own corgi from puppyhood, which gave me a solid foundation in training, grooming, and understanding canine behavior. Over time, I’ve also cared for senior dogs who required medication, gentle exercise, and extra patience, as well as energetic puppies who needed structured play and consistent guidance. Clients often describe me as reliable, communicative, and attentive to every pet’s comfort. I regularly provide updates with photos and videos to help owners feel connected while they’re away. I’m also experienced with multi-pet households, including both dogs and cats, and I take pride in maintaining a calm and caring environment for all animals under my care. As a remote work with a flexible schedule, I'm available consistently on weekends and most weekday afternoons. I carefully plan my pet care commitments around my classes to ensure dedicated, unrushed time with each pet. I can provide morning walks, midday check-ins, and extended playtime sessions, always prioritizing the pets' routines and needs. I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. When visiting clients' homes, I follow their specific care instructions meticulously and maintain regular updates through photos and messages. I ensure all doors are secured, maintain a clean environment, and keep pets on their regular feeding and exercise schedules. I also have pet first-aid knowledge for added peace of mind.

About: I managed a pet sitting service for 4 years with more than 400 clients and owned my own pet sitting service for 2 years, providing above and beyond pet care: dog walking, boarding, overnight house sitting, cat sitting, and other small pet care. I'm trained in insulin injections and skilled at applying ear drops, administering pills, and other basic daily medicinal needs. I also take great pictures of your pets and provide detailed notes while you're away! As a pet owner myself, I know first hand how hard it is to leave your pets at home. If I am to stay at your home, I can also take care of daily house duties like rotating lights, bringing in mail/packages, and watering plants. (I'm a skilled plant owner as well!) I'm trained in pet CPR and first aid and am skilled at recognizing dog behavioral cues. While I'm not a trainer, I'm happy to work with your dog on existing commands and basic commands. I have a very flexible, remote job and will prioritize your pet and it's needs! I take my own dog for hikes and play dates 3-4 times a week (on top of regular walks!) and look forward to having your dog join our pack! I have a two dogs of my own and your pup must get along with mine. I do provide a crate should your dog prefer that in my home. We have a fenced in yard for late night outs. We have plenty of toys to share and can easily manage any food resource issues.
