Doggy Day Care In Northwood

“So great! It was a last minute booking, within the hour, on a Sunday and Twinkle replied quickly. She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures, which I didn’t expect, so that was so nice and comforting. Everything went smooth, and I will definitely be booking with her again. Communication was A+ .. actually A+ all around. I can’t think of anything I could ask her to improve on. Huskies are notoriously known to be difficult, but Twinkle is a pro!”

“I have consistently had great experiences with Avancon!. From the very beginning, they made our puppy feel safe, comfortable and completely at home. Our pup can be a little shy and unsure around new people and dogs, but their patience and kindness truly made all the difference. What impressed us most was how they helped our pup gradually get used to playing with other dogs. They were thoughtful about introductions and made sure every interaction was positive and stress-free. My puppy is not only more confident but actually super excited to get there and socialize! He literally jumps out of my arms to get into their house lol We receive updates, photos, and messages, which gives us so much peace of mind. It is clear that he is being well cared for. We couldn't have asked for a more attentive, responsible, and compassionate sitter. If you are looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own and help them grow socially and emotionally, this is the place. We are beyond grateful and will continue to be clients.”

About: I used to work at an animal hospital and have attended formal training on pet care. I’ve been a pet lover all my life. Caring for animals is my passion! I work from home full-time so I have constant presence around the pets I babysit. My 7yo female (spayed) Calico stays with me and loves having access to me all day, and if you have a social pet, then I’m here for them too! I know which stuff are bad for pets so you’re guaranteed a safe stay with us. I am home all day so there will be constant care and guidance

“Nicole and Aaron outdid themselves today! As usual, the pictures and video were wonderful. And they did a great job wearing my puppy out! Not only are they outstanding with my pup, the whole family are wonderful, wonderful people! 🙏🐾🐾”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities — from energetic puppies who need playtime and structure, to senior pets who deserve gentle patience and extra care. I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort zone, so I always take the time to learn their quirks, signals, and favorite things. Whether it’s early morning walks, medication reminders, or snuggle sessions on the couch, I treat every furry friend like my own. Safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. What sets me apart is my attentive communication and genuine love for animals — I send regular photo updates, follow owner instructions carefully, and make sure each pet feels secure and loved while you’re away. If your pet needs special care (puppy training, senior support, or daily medication), I have hands-on experience and will ensure they get personalized attention. Because I have a flexible schedule, I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day — whether it’s quick potty breaks, playtime in the yard, or cozy naps together. Evenings are for longer walks, cuddles, and winding down before bedtime. On weekends, I love taking dogs on local trail walks or to pet-friendly parks for some extra fun and stimulation. Every day, I make sure your pet feels cared for, safe, and loved — just like they would at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in my home, I maintain a calm, pet-friendly environment with secure spaces for play and rest. I keep food, cleaning supplies, and other items safely out of reach, and ensure constant supervision during playtime or outdoor breaks. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I always respect your space and follow your instructions carefully — from feeding routines and walking routes to any special care details. I take extra steps to keep doors and gates secure, and I never bring unfamiliar pets without your approval. Cleanliness, consistency, and clear communication are key. You’ll always receive photo or video updates so you know your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is to make every stay or visit feel safe, familiar, and full of love — just like home.

“David is an excellent sitter. He was extremely flexible, kind, and communicative. My pup got plenty of attention and came back tired and happy. I'd gladly use David's services again.”

“Hanah & Dabin were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond! We’re so happy and they will be our go to whenever we need a sitter in OC! We know how great they are because our dog fell asleep in the car and starting snoring immediately, that’s how much fun Ghost had today. I’m usually very anxious leaving Ghost with a sitter but they absolutely exceeded my expectations!! Hourly updates and photos, it made me enjoy my time without worrying about our baby. Truly amazing and high quality, we are so happy and will recommend to anyone we know in the area that’s in need!!”

About: My dog Mr.Paisley is 20 years old & Buttercup is 3. I've been blessed to have paisley since he was just a fresh puppy and I was still just a kid. We grew up together & through that he has taught me lessons I will carry for rest of my life, like unconditional love, compassion, joy for the present moment & so much more. Buttercup I got as a puppy as well & she instantly brought so much life into our home. I trained her myself to follow commands like stay, lay sit, sit on her butt with paws up, potty training and so much more cool stuff we practice everyday. There's a lot of love between paisley & buttercup, despite the age difference its actual been complimentary to each of them and has made a nice balance in the environment we cultivated as a pack together with regular activities, playtime, rest & relaxing all part of our daily routines. I am currently in college taking fully online courses & I also have an audio production company that I run completely remote from my home online, audio is also what I am in school for. So between these as my primary obligations with an occasional audio engineering gig I have plenty of time to give all the love, walks and attention any dog would need. It's mutually beneficial for me and the dogs because I love to be active and they simply give me joy. I have my home accommodated for dogs to live their best life. I have a fenced backyard with a long 30ft long dog run with trees and dirt on the side of my home, then the actual backyard has sun most of the daytime with places for them to lounge and shaded spots to be in the fresh air, there's also grass for them to do business and a small puppy pool for the dogs who like to splash around a bit and play. The inside of my home is big and open with the upstairs and front office already secure with puppy gates installed so they can wander safely and to their hearts content. I have big low to the floor comfy couches the dogs are totally allowed to be on and a special area in my living room that's 10x10 feet that I dedicated as a play pen area with padded floors under and cozy washable potty matts so the dogs feel like they have their own personal space they can get in & out of & go to whenever they want. Mr.Paisley my 20 year old dog loves it. Because he's older now I have learned how to manage special diets and ive also gained a deep instinct to notice things that indicate to me to give extra love and attention, also to handle serious situations calmly and correctly. I have a sliding screen door that I installed a dog door on so the dogs have access to outside all day anytime they want. I go on about 8 walks a day, different lengths & different speeds depending on the dog and I love it. This is a happy, healthy home your dog will love to be apart of.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is that I combine responsibility with genuine attentiveness to each dog’s individual personality and needs. I don’t just “watch” dogs — I actively engage with them to make sure they feel safe, stimulated, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. With puppies, I pay great attention to how they feel and I’m very patient at caring for them. With senior dogs, I’m patient and attentive to mobility needs, medication schedules, slower walking pace, and comfort routines. I pay close attention to subtle behavior changes that may indicate discomfort. I’m also detail-oriented when it comes to feeding instructions, allergies, and household rules. Clean water, safe environments, and secure walks are always my priority. I provide regular updates with photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own — with patience, affection, and respect for their unique temperament. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m currently home most of the time. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, regular walks, and plenty of interaction throughout the day instead of leaving dogs alone for long periods. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can adapt to each dog’s needs — whether that means early morning walks, midday play sessions, feeding at specific times, or sticking closely to an established routine. Being home also allows me to monitor behavior closely and respond quickly if anything seems off. Because pet care would be a dedicated part of my day, I’m able to give dogs my full attention, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for rather than just accommodated. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment. I remove potential hazards, keep doors and gates secured, and ensure all food and small objects are out of reach. Dogs have a comfortable resting area, constant access to fresh water, and structured playtime. I supervise interactions at all times and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully — including feeding schedules, medication, walking routes, house rules, and preferred routines. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes to ensure security. I’m attentive to behavior changes and will immediately communicate any concerns. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured. I understand that trust is everything when someone leaves their pet in another person’s care. I treat every home respectfully and every pet as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and responsibility.

“My husband & I are so happy we found Wen a very loving dog sitter. At the time we dropped Ziggy off, I knew Ziggy was safe at Wen's care. He was very comfortable & laid his head on Wen's arms. Wen also sent me pictures regularly & I see Ziggy felt at home with Wen. I was confident & happy that Ziggy was very safe. Surely I will go back to Wen when I need someone to take care of Ziggy 💕😀🐶”

About: 🌿 Premium Private Boarding — One Pet at a Time 🌿 I offer exclusive, one-on-one boarding so your pet receives personalized attention in a calm, home-like environment. No rotating dogs, no overcrowding, just intentional, loving care. Hi! I’m Erica, a lifelong animal lover and experienced Rover sitter with years of happy repeat clients who’ve become true friends (both human and furry). Animals have always been my absolute passion, and caring for pets is something I take very personally. 👉 I'm fully insured through Pet Care Insurance, which also covers your pet while they're in my care - adding an extra layer of safety and peace of mind. • My Home & Family 🏡 I live with my loving husband, two daycare-age kids, and my 16-year-old cat, Samantha. I’ve also loved and cared for pets well into their senior years, including my sweet Bailey and Jake, who both lived long, full lives and remain forever in my heart. Because I have young children, I only accept pets who are comfortable around kids. My toddlers are high-energy, and I prioritize everyone’s safety, comfort, and peace of mind. For boarding requests, meet & greets are required so we can ensure it’s a great fit for everyone before booking. • Premium, One-Pet-at-a-Time Boarding 🐾 When I offer boarding, I provide exclusive, one-pet-at-a-time care. I do not board multiple pets from different families at once. This allows me to give your pet my full attention, reduce stress, and create a calm, home-like environment, especially ideal for seniors, anxious pets, or dogs who thrive on individualized care. If your pet is staying with me, I intentionally clear my schedule and remain home with them as much as possible. Your pet isn’t just another booking, they’re my priority. • Walks, Drop-Ins & Visits 🦮🐱 I offer walks and drop-ins and thoughtfully schedule my day around the pets in my care. I respect your pet’s routine and take the time needed during each visit to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. • Communication & Care 📝 I believe great pet care starts with communication. I welcome any details about your pet’s routines, quirks, preferences, medications, or dietary needs…the more information, the better. I’m always happy to review written instructions and refer back to them as needed. You can expect regular updates and photos so you feel confident and reassured while you’re away.

“Mariela & Dalton are cool vibe dog people. This really helped my two pups settle in quickly and relax. Communication was spot on! Thanks for taking great care with the girls.”
