Doggy Day Care in Oakwood Hills

“I had my dog Pepper go to Laura and Ryan’s place for the day to see how she did there before booking an overnight stay for an upcoming vacation. Laura is so easy to communicate with, super flexible, very kind and Pepper seemed to have a wonderful time at their house. We look forward to her having a great place to stay for her own vacation while we are out of town :)”

“John knew that Sadie liked to fetch tennis balls thrown with a Chuck-it, so he did that for her. Twice! In very cold weather & it hurt his shoulder. I really like that he only takes 1 dog family at a time. He treats my dog like his dog. Has a wonderful big fenced yard, during warmer weather has dog doors so they can go in & out at will. His dog Peaches is very sweet.”

“Was super nervous to use this service but Kathleen assured me all would be well and kept my mind at ease anytime I asked for some assurance that my pet was doing okay. Super friendly and my puppy took to her immediately (something I had not seen before honestly). Tagged on a bath and nail trim to the stay and my pet was smelling super fresh all the way home. 10/10 would recommend.”

“I was initially worried about the other dogs with my crippled older dog... but that ended up not being a problem at all! Barb is very sweet, will use again for my loved one”

“This was the first time we've ever taken our puppy to Doggy Day Care and we were very nervous to say the least. Ben was amazing. From the meet and greet to the first morning we dropped her off, he put us at ease. He sent pictures and gave updates throughout the day. He made this whole experience great for us and for Charlie. Charlie was so worn out after the first day, that she (and us) finally slept through the whole night that night 😁We'll definitely bring Charlie back!!”

About: I am comfortable walking and taking care of any size dog. I have over 10 years of experience taking care of wide range of breeds from Pittbulls to Labradors. I am in general an animal lover. I am available for walking, boarding, sitting and house visits. I love taking care of animals. I am available on weekdays, weekends and holidays. I am very flexible and can accommodate whatever you may need. I have a fenced in yard for the pups to play in and enjoy. I also love taking dogs on walks whenever the weather permits.

About: It all started when I was 5 and my sister and I convinced our animal loving parents to add to our family, we got a golden retriever puppy and a kitten in the same year. I have never lived a day without a pet in 35 years! I have open availability. I have 2 smaller dogs and a parrot. I live in a nice, quiet neighborhood perfect for walking furry friends. Ricky and Lucy (cavapoos) love a good slumber party :) I do not have a fenced in yard. My pups know the perimeters. I do take leashed potty breaks and walks with pup visitors. I am familiar with "runners" and an capable of making sure that doesn't happen!

About: I don’t remember a time in my life when a dog wasn’t part of it, and I think they make my life more complete. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages. I’m experienced with senior dogs and their unique needs. I also have had experience with dogs that have more complex medical issues (diabetes, Valley Fever, incontinence, seizures) and medications (oral pills, liquids, and even injections). I also have a fenced in yard where your dog can play…or just loll in the sun. And I have a dog friendly home where they’ll be treated like family. I work from home all day, so I’m here most of the time. I also tend to work from the couch, so your dog will be able to cuddle or get pets often. I usually feed my dogs in the AM, but I would feed your dog according to your schedule. I wouldn’t want to get them off of any routines you have. I think consistency is good for them. My home would be their home. It’s stressful enough for them to be in a new environment and out of their typical routine, so I try to make them comfortable. I also respect your rules and limitations for your dog.

“My boy had such a great day with Kathleen and John and their pup!”

About: I’ve enjoyed watching Dogs for family and friends over the years. I work from home and would be available for any of the dogs needs throughout the day. We do have one dog of our own, a corgi, named Poppy. She is a very easy going dog that is very good at matching others dog’s energy. I’m very available on weekdays and most weekends. I’m also pretty flexible with last minute changes and keeping you updated with pictures and status updates. We do not have a fenced yard, but we do have a cable line the extends the yard. I can also set up a small fence for smaller dogs, if needed. We have a beautiful Corgi that has gotten along with every dog she’s ever met.

“Anastasia did a great job watching Yogi, she sent photos and when he was hungry, she checked with me before feeding him since I had not given him food to have at her house. I thought that was very responsible an I would hire her againa.”

About: For the past 20 years I have had pets and taken care of all kinds of pets. I have dogs of my own and understand the importance of a reliable person who shows up when they say they will. Pet care is my routine! I have a regular base of clients and depending on the needs of yours I could add more to my weekly regimen. I have a house with a fenced in yard. My dogs are very easy going and get along with all others. They love making new furriends.

“Monica and Eric were absolutely fantastic! The took the time to talk with us on a meet and greet a few days before we dropped our dog off. Our little guy had a great time with them and they sent multiple picutures thoroughout the day. We will definitely be using them in the future!”

About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life. I am 40 years old, a retired ultrasound technologist. I'm a stay at home mom with a lot of free time while my kids are at school and a heart for animals. I'm a stay at home mom with plenty of time during the day while my kids are at school. Ideal hours for walks and visits are 10:00-2:00. I'm pretty flexible. I have an acre not fenced. I have an inground covered pool area fenced. I have a 2.5 lb teacup yorkie (friendly) that can be separated if your dog likes to chase squirrels :)

About: Ever since I was 15 years old, I cared for my sister's Rottweiler Bear. I worked at a pet store cleaning kennels and handling the dogs. I have volunteered at Orphans of the Storm animal shelter, Heartland Animal Shelter & Border tails rescue. Currently fostering a 4 year old Australian Shepherd mix from Border Tails Rescue. *update* Canelo passed on :( Hoping your dog is good with other dogs :) I have a foster fail dog named Onyx. He is the sweetest and currently fighting cancer. He loves other dogs. *update; Onyx is now in Rainbow Bridge :(. Currently no pets in the home. I work from home monday to friday. & I am off on weekends. No children or other adults are in my home. I am never gone for long and when I am, usually just running errands. Dogs are allowed on the couch. Owner would need to provide dog bed. I enjoy being outdoors so its important that your dog would like to tag along for nice walks.

About: I grew up with 3 Siberian Huskies and currently own my own dog who is an Australian Shepherd. Ever since I was 8, I've been heavily involved in walking, training, and taking care of dogs for not only my family but neighbors and friends as well. I have owned many animals from rabbits to fish to dogs. And I have cared for nearly every domesticated animal in the book! I absolutely love all animals and care for each like they are my own child. Pet care is my number one priority. I like to make sure every animal I watch, including my own, gets let out every 4-8 hours and gets walked at least once a day for 30 minutes. I have a full time job but I work from home so I can always make sure animal care and safety is number one on my list. I always makes sure that every animal is treated as my own. I want the animal to feel as if their owner isn’t even away. I like to keep them to their normal schedule and spend as much time with them as possible to keep them comfortable. I like to keep them in their typical routine so there's no additional stress or anxiety added on to them while they stay with me!
