Doggy Day Care in New Marion

About: I have had my own animals and worked in vets offices my whole life. I have a variety of animals in my own home. I love all creatures big and small. I am a stay at home mom, so I am available all the time! My kids are in school or daycare during the day so I am very free. I am home taking care of the home and my own animals and can be reached any day or time. I have 2 dogs. We have an acre fenced in yard so plenty of room to run out some energy! We are outside of the city and enjoy the privacy we have. We use leashes to walk from our front door to our fenced in yard and have plenty of space to accommodate crates if needed. We can do crates for dogs that need it but I pride myself on treating my boarders like my own. With free range of my home and multiple hours spent outside in the sun.

About: I have over 10 years of experience of caring for dogs. I have 2 of my own and they love making new friends! I am a stay at home mom of 2 children so your fur baby will always have someone with them. I have a spacious backyard and a large deck so your pet will have lots of room to roam around safely. Caring for your pet fits perfectly into my life as if they were my own. I am home every single day of the week to provide love and care for your pal Your pet will have a spacious yard to roam around, and a large deck to lounge on (or sunbathe! 😉). Lots of potty breaks, and playtime.

About: Updated Parvo vaccine and flea and tick meds are mandatory! It is very important to keep all the puppies safe. I grew up on a farm taking care of many types of animals. I have always had an animal in my care and could not imagine life without one. I make my own schedule as an esthetician and photographer so I have plenty of free time to love on your fur babies and give them the best of lovins! I live on a large farm in Switzerland County so your fur babies will have plenty of room to run and play. I have two dogs, two cats, and two pigs to keep your fur friends company.

About: I began professionally caring for animals 10 years ago when I got a job at PetSmart as a Pet Care associate! From there, I became a kennel technician at one of the top rated veterinary clinics in Cincinnati, Animal Care Center, and after a year of working there as a kennel technician they trained me to be a veterinary technician. I then had my first son and stayed home with him and had a farm with pigs, chickens, and all kinds of wonderful animals! When I decided to rejoin the work force, of course I went back to what I love most, caring for animals. I worked at two different kennels full time and helped manage one of them. I am able to give medications to pets and I’m comfortable giving insulin shots. If you’re interested in drop-ins for medication only while you’re at work or out, I can do that! I’m available any time, just discuss with me what would work best for you. During overnight stays, I will fill out a report to return to you so you will have complete details of how your pet was while you’re away! I’m also willing to FaceTime and send pictures so you know that your pet is safe and sound. Housemates would be my loving and gentle 5 year old son and my fiancé. I have a small chihuahua myself who is very friendly with all other pets. Since I do have children, any pets staying at my home must be child friendly. I’m always available whenever you need me. I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m very flexible with my schedule. Short notice or planning months in advance? I’m here! I have two children who love pets and give them plenty of friendly attention. I also have a chihuahua who gets along with other dogs but is convinced she’s truly a cat so she doesn’t play much! Pets remain leashed at all times during walks and get walked multiple times a day during pet-sitting.

“We traveled from Michigan to explore the area and visit the Creation Museum. During our visit, Tyler provided outstanding care for our nervous dog. He ensured she enjoyed multiple walks each day, which she loves. Understanding her age, Tyler was flexible and allowed her to take her much-needed naps. Thanks to Tyler, we could fully enjoy ourselves knowing our dog was in great hands!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently care for a multi-dog household of my own, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. From high-energy breeds that need structure and exercise to older dogs who just want a calm, predictable environment—I adjust my care to fit what your dog actually needs. I have hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, crate training, basic commands, and monitoring group dynamics to keep things safe and stress-free. I’m especially mindful when introducing dogs, supervising play, and making sure everyone gets attention without things becoming chaotic or overwhelming. I’m also used to keeping a close eye on behavior and health—changes in appetite, energy, or mood don’t go unnoticed. If something seems off, I catch it early and communicate right away. Above all, I treat every dog like they’re my own: safe, structured, and well cared for… with a little extra spoiling mixed in. Your dog won’t just be watched—they’ll be known, understood, and genuinely cared about while they’re with me. I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility to build my day around the dogs in my care—not the other way around. I’m able to accommodate a variety of routines, including specific feeding schedules, medication timing, crate needs, or just extra attention for dogs who need it. Structured potty breaks are offered at least every 2 hours, and I’m home throughout the day to provide consistent supervision, interaction, care and additional breaks if needed. Whether your dog thrives on structure or needs a little extra flexibility, I can adjust to what works best for them to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. All care is provided in my home, where I keep things calm, structured, and closely supervised. Because I’m home throughout the day, dogs are not left unattended for long periods, and I’m able to actively monitor behavior, play, and overall well-being. I’m very intentional about safety—introductions are done slowly and thoughtfully, and I pay close attention to each dog’s temperament to make sure everyone is a good fit. I don’t allow chaotic, unsupervised group play. Instead, I keep things controlled so dogs can feel comfortable, not overwhelmed. My home is dog-friendly and set up with both secure indoor space and safe outdoor access for potty breaks and fresh air. I also maintain clean routines for feeding, water, and rest areas to keep everything consistent and stress-free. Above all, I treat every dog like they’re my own—kept safe, well cared for, and genuinely looked after, not just “watched.”

“Kristen was awesome! So sweet and no worries at all about leaving my little guy with her. She took such great care of him! If I'm in the area and need a sitter again, I will definitely reach out to her!”
