Doggy Day Care in North Benton

“Excellent service. Zach and his daughter were great with my dog Rex! Great setup with a tall fence and Rex loved playing with their dogs.This was a same day booking and they were able to accommodate us last minute and also the following day. I had only left my dog one day at a kennel his whole life so was nervous and within minutes knew I had made the correct choice with Zach and his home!”

About: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals—growing up with pets, fostering rescues, and eventually turning that passion into a career I truly love. I’ve worked in both professional boarding facilities and from my own home, giving me experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs—including the anxious, the rowdy, and the reactive. My background in training means I don’t get flustered when “dogs are dogging”—I know how to handle situations calmly, safely, and with care. What makes this more than just a job to me is the connection. I love my clients—both two-legged and four—as if they were friends and family. I take pride in the dirty work, the hard work, and the heart work, because there’s nothing else I’d rather do. I always aim to provide the kind of care I’d want for my own pets: professional, reliable, and full of love. This isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. Each day starts with potty breaks—puppies and dogs with bladder or health issues go first, followed by the rest. Morning feedings come next, and then the day’s activities vary depending on the group. I rotate between walks, training sessions, grooming, structured play, and relaxing time in my fenced-in yard while I work outside. Dogs are crated anytime I leave the house and again overnight for safety and routine (crate training is something I can help with if needed). I maintain a consistent potty schedule every 2–4 hours and can administer any type of medication as directed. This is what I do every day—and I take pride in keeping things safe, clean, calm, and enjoyable for every dog who stays with me. My background as a professional dog trainer gives me a strong foundation in dog behavior, body language, and pack dynamics. I didn’t have to learn everything the hard way—I’ve had over a year of hands-on mentorship with some of the top trainers in the area, and I continue to seek their guidance and sharpen my skills. That experience allows me to manage dogs safely and confidently, even in challenging situations. In my home, every dog is respected for who they are. I don’t let emotional attachment cloud my judgment—I honor the animal side of every dog and prioritize safety, structure, and calm energy. I’ve become obsessed with learning to speak their language, and that obsession shows in how I read behavior, prevent conflict, and create a peaceful environment. Dogs are always crated when unsupervised and at night, and I keep a consistent routine of potty breaks, feeding, medication, enrichment, and rest. Group sizes stay small so I can maintain control and meet each dog’s individual needs. This is a safe, secure, and respectful space for dogs to relax, reset, and be understood.

“Thanks! Lucia and Iris had a great time”

Deanna sent me pictures throughout the day and made me feel at ease while I was at work. We will definitely be booking with Deanna for our future doggy daycare sessions!”

“Lois is a real gem! I can not begin to describe how happy Pepper and I am with our visit today. I know Pepper enjoyed her daycare stay by how tired she is. lol! Pepper looked so happy walking with Lois as they were both outside when I drove up. I received updates and pictures throughout the day. So happy to have found you, Lois!”

“Frankie had a great time at Cheril's. She enjoyed playing and running in the huge fenced in yard. Cheryl is awesome. She is knowledgeable about dogs and understands their needs. She was very patient with our high energy pup. Frankie was well taken care of in Cheril's care. I felt comfortable leaving Frankie with Cheril with no worries while we were away. I recommend Cheril with no hesitation.”

About: I have been a lab parent for 30 years and have trained, walked and had many many dog sleepovers. I love dogs and would love the opportunity to care for yours! I am retired and have plenty of time to walk, play and care for your dog. We have a large yard to play chuckit too. I have a very large yard to play with your dog. I can easily crate your dog too if you prefer. I have walked and sat for many other dogs

About: Your pet is treated as my own and a family member. Your fur baby is not crated unless you request that and provide the crate. Your pet gets to go outside and run and play several times a day. I go out and encourage playing and running for exercise. When the weather permits, we walk through the field and explore along the canal, a stroll along the towpath or a trip to the dog park. If your pet is older and doesn't want to play or explore, that's ok. I have plenty of shaded areas for them to just lounge and take a snooze while I sit with them and read. I would love to share your fur babies with you. Must provide proof of all shot records (including Kennel Cough vaccine). I encourage an hour play date (prior to the sitting) to make sure that your fur baby is going to be a good match with our family.

About: I have 12years of experience taking care of dogs, both large and small, including senior dogs. Our home has two beds neither has a box nor a frame so even if they need to jump on and off, it won't cause any harm to their bodies. I am currently not working, so I am available to take care of the pets throughout the day, both on weekdays and weekends. Even if I have to go out, my husband has plenty of experience in taking care of the puppy. He works on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, but can work from home at other times have an 12-year-old dog. She is spayed and typically very friendly. I only board friendly dogs weighing less than 40 pounds, so you don't have to worry about any potential dangers. I live in a spacious two-bedroom apartment, and I only board a maximum of two dogs at a time. There is a spacious grassy area outside the apartment for dog walks.

About: I have had pets my entire life. I have a boxer and a purple currently. I have watched my friends dogs while they are out of town. I have been a teacher for 20 years and I love to stay active, walking , hiking and aerobic sports. I know how hard it is to leave your pets and I would only leave my dogs with someone I truly trusted and that would give them the same love and affection as ibdo every day. I realize how difficult it is to trust someone with your "babies" and that is why I know I am a perfect person for the job. I know that dogs get so excited just to have someone pet them, let alone go on walks when their owners are away. I am a teacher and have all summer off. My own children are grown and independent, so I am able to work at all hours of the day. Having my own dogs, I know how important it is for them to be in their own environment where they are more comfortable and relaxed. Dogs know when there owners are away,so to be in their happy place is very important.

“Went above and beyond. Treated my pup like family. I highly recommend Melissa! I will be requesting her services again.”

About: Hi there! Sometimes you wish you can travel with your fur baby/(s) but you just can’t 😞. While your pet is in my care, they will get the utmost care they deserve! I have had a deep passion for animals my entire life. I volunteered at Angels for Animals from 2015-2022.

If your pet has separation anxiety, or if you’re worried about them being far from you while you’re gone… I promise, I’m the girl you will want to call! Every pup is different but deserves someone gentle, calm and friendly to care for them. We will spend time doing all the things they love, such as walks, playing games, and practicing tricks to help distract them from your absence.

With years of experience and a personalized approach, I ensure your pets feel like cherished family members! . Your peace of mind and your pet's happiness are my top priorities. 🐾💕 Pet care fits into my daily routine as a top priority. From morning walks to evening playtime, I structure my schedule to align with your pet's needs. Feeding times are consistent, my goal is to keep them in the same routine as normal. Keeping them comfortable and well taken care of. If they have troubles eating from being away from home, I ensure you they will be comfortable to eat sooner than later with my calming techniques.

Safety is my number 1 priority!!! I maintain a pet-friendly atmosphere, free from hazards.
