Doggy Day Care in Nokomis

“Erin was very accommodating and took great care with Boddie. So appreciate her willingness to take Boddie on short notice for a few hours while we visited someone in an assisted living facility. Definitely recommend Erin and her family to care for your fur baby.”

“My little man Theo loves spending the day w/ Carrie! She is so wonderful w / him. You can tell he’s had a full day when he comes home all tuckered out! I trust her implicitly!”

“Corrina does a wonderful job with Teddy! He is high energy and has separation anxiety but she is able to settle him down and has him sitting on her lap and calm upon return. She is a very nice person and has a comfortable way. Her pet Romey is a very calm loving dog who takes Teddy in stride. We highly recommend Corinna as a sitter in her home.”

About: My menagerie would love to have your pup stay! I genuinely love animals and have the time and patience to let them be them. I have a 34 year old cockatiel bird, a 28 year old tortoise, and an 8 year old rescue pup. We spend our days playing in the backyard and our evenings snuggled on the couch. I travel often for work and I know how hard it can be to leave your pets in the care of others. I would share updates regularly to let you know they’re doing well! I work from home so I’m available to spend time with your pup all day. Pups staying over would enjoy regular walks, play breaks in the backyard, and a quiet space inside to hang. I have the flexibility to match their routine and schedule. I have a securely fenced yard and a doggy door (if they are used to using one) to have spent of chances to run around and play. The house has space to run inside too, in case there’s bad weather. Pets are welcome on the furniture and are welcome to sleep in the big bed if that’s what they’re used to.

About: I am a pet lover with a flexible schedule, I am also a nurse. I love helping people. Our pets are our families and deserve to be treated as such. Let me know how I can help you by helping care for your pet! Short walks or long walks, play time, cuddle time, mid afternoon check ins or boarding. You name it and I’m the girl for the job. I am active and outdoorsy. Boarding: We are a family that loves dogs! We have two kids and one dog at home that loves having doggy visitors! We have been vetted and approved as fosters by two different local dog rescues. We work from home, so someone is always around! We have a fenced in backyard… For a many years we had a special needs boxer with significant health issues. I am experienced and comfortable assisting with administering medications and providing health monitoring, if needed. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have or for additional services your pet may need. Thank you! My husband and I both work from home so someone is always around. We are able to provide frequent walks and potty time. We are a one dog family but have always had 2 dogs in the past. We enjoy having a second dog around for extra love and play time. We have a fenced in backyard and screened in porch. Outside time is important for us and our fur family. We have two children that love having doggy visitors to play with and love on. We try to accommodate all doggy needs. We will crate if that’s their wish or we allow dogs to sleep on the bed… wherever they are comfortable.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and now am the proud mom of a mini goldendoodle who is my world! Would love the opportunity to meet and care for your fur baby and treat them like they’re my own! Currently not working so petcare fits into my life very well. Looking for something to fill my time and what better way than to meet other furbabies! I can provide check ins and walks for your pup and feed as needed. Right now I’m not looking to board any pets but that may change in the future.

“Meaghan took excellent care of my sweet boy! We greatly appreciated her flexibility with unpredictable traffic and maintained communication throughout the day with lots of photo updates (which we loved)! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in her hands and hope to have her watch him again when we return. We couldn’t recommend anyone else if you’re in need of animal care!”

About: I have experience with an array of different animals, from dogs, cats, birds and reptiles of sorts! My experience varies from different sizes to ages as well. I stay in homes at times to lessen the stress for animals traveling anywhere. I’ve always been the go to person from friends, family, neighbors etc. I am a certified Heath Coach, and am taking a step back to explore further into caretaking animals. That being said I have all the free time at the moment to do so, and I can’t wait to play and care for more animals! For a dog, or any pet.. safety, health, and happiness are the most important. Providing a loving, calm, positive and constructive environment is essential! With my two dogs, we walk every morning around the lake in a quiet neighborhood, then breakfast, playtime and walking in between before dinner. And of course a lot of cuddling in the mix:) treats occasionally if everyone is behaving involving some light training such as sit, stay etc.

“Marybeth and Russ were great! I would definitely recommend them. I can tell they love dogs and go above and beyond to make sure your fur baby is taken care of!”

Myra D.

“Chelsea took such good care of my dogs! I appreciated all the photos she sent and that she took them to the dog park. I will definitely use her service again!”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life! I’ve lived with and cared for both small and large breeds, from playful Aussie Shepherds to gentle Markiesjes. I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and structured environment for dogs to feel comfortable and happy. I’m offering dog-sitting services because I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and want to gain even more hands-on experience before adopting my own. Whether your pup needs long walks, playtime, or just a cozy spot to relax, I’ll make sure they feel at home. I offer a calm, safe space, regular potty breaks, and lots of attention to ensure they feel loved while you’re away! Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to get to know your pup! 🐾 I have a hybrid work schedule, which allows me to be home for a good portion of the day. This flexibility enables me to provide consistent care, supervision, and companionship for the dogs I sit. My schedule allows for regular walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks throughout the day, ensuring that each pup feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while staying with me. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every dog in my care. In my home, I ensure that all spaces are pet-friendly, secure, and free of hazards, creating a stress-free setting for dogs to relax and feel at ease. I follow each pet’s routine and specific care instructions, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special accommodations. For dogs staying with me, I provide supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, and structured walks to keep them happy and engaged. I also respect each dog's personality—whether they love social interaction or need quiet time, I adapt to their needs to create a safe and loving experience. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their familiar routine, ensuring they feel comfortable in their own space. I communicate regularly with pet parents, providing updates and photos so they can feel at ease knowing their dog is in good hands. My goal is to create a trusting and reliable experience for both pets and their owners.

About: Having done pet therapy in hospitals, and realizing how essential for well-being and joy animals bring to a persons life I decided this was a perfect position for me. I have had the privilege of caring for many kinds of animals from owning a horse farm to caring for smaller animals each one different and unique needs. My daughter calls me the animal whisperer. I have a calm demeanor and I think animals sense that and innately feel comfortable with me and warm up quickly. I value the importance of a scheduled routine whether it’s distributing medications, playtime, walks and cuddles I am happy to follow whatever instructions you may have to ensure your pet is well taken care of. Although I travel somewhat, I am retired and am quite flexible. Please feel free to ask any questions and I look forward to helping you with your animal needs in the future. I am retired and am very flexible with my schedule. Please let me know whatever plans you have and I am sure I can accommodate you. I am open to hosting at my house on an individual basis. I am happy to stay at your house and care for them as well. I can do drop in visits or full stays. Following instructions is a specialty of mine and I value each individuals expectations of how they would like their pets taken care of.
