Doggy Day Care in Opolis

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 5 and I’ve loved it ever since. I’ve had owned many dogs and cats. I’ve helped with pets of all ages, from tiny babies to sweet seniors. I’m going to school for animal behavior and care because animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I love making sure they’re happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Right now, I am going to school online for my bachelors while working! Pet care is the perfect way for me to stay busy doing something I love while also helping people out. It fits into my routine really well right now because I have the time and flexibility, and it gives me experience for my future career with animals. It’s a win-win, I get to be around pets and give them the love and care they deserve while I’m in this in-between stage. When I’m caring for pets in someone’s home, I treat it like my own, with a lot of respect and care. I always follow your instructions closely because every pet has their own routine and comfort zone. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s sticking to their feeding schedule, giving meds, or just keeping them company, I focus on creating a calm and happy environment. I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home, and I don’t take that lightly.

About: Hi, my name is Sara Dressler! I graduated Pittsburg State in December 2020 and I’m now a full time web developer at LimeLight Marketing. During covid I was finally able to get my own dog but before I helped my parents take care of our 3 dogs and 4 cats. I realize pets are part of the family just like anyone else, therefore, I will make sure to care for yours like they are mine. I am a full time worker but my hours are very flexible. I usually take a lunch break from 12-1 which is a perfect time to check on my pets. I can also work remotely if more care is needed. I have a cat(JC) and a chihuahua minpin (Brutus) that loves to play with other dogs. My yard is pretty big however it is not a fenced yard. I usually take Brutus outside multiple times a day to the back section of the yard. If I take your dog outside, I will make sure to keep the leash on. Brutus likes to get into things, so I make sure the house is picked up so he can’t get into trouble. I also have a crate if needed.

“Stephanie and her family were absolutely wonderful. She sent frequent updates and photos throughout the day, took my pup on a long walk, and spent lots of time playing with him. From the photos, it was clear he was having an amazing time and was very well cared for. I would 100% recommend Stephanie and will happily book with her again. Thank you so much, Stephanie!”

“My boy is so excited to go in Teagan‘s house he nearly pulls my arm off! I love that he’s in a home environment and not at a daycare where he’s crated with short play breaks. He has so much fun with the other dogs. Teigan’s flexible hours really help me out.”

About: First and foremost, I love animals, and I mean all animals. Anything from frogs to dogs, they’re gettin some love from me. I am super flexible in my availability. I will treat your pets like family, whether that’s some extra cuddles or a run for a pup cup. I’m good with all animals, whether they’re shy or bouncing off the walls, I can adapt and tailor to any animals needs. I am a trustworthy individual, and will provide you with pictures and gps tracked walks if requested. Thank you for considering me to take care of your family! I work as an on call employee for Moore Water and Air. On average I work about 3 or 4 hours a day, Monday-Saturday. I am off on Sunday. I am consistently available from 6:00 am - 3:00 pm during the week. I consistently will be unavailable for 3-4 hours between 3:00 pm and 9:00 pm. If any care would need done after 8:00 pm, I would absolutely be available for that after my shift. I treat any animal in my care as if they were a member of my own family. My animals are very nice and well trained, they interact well with other animals but can be kept separate if need be. As far as care in your home is concerned, I will treat your house as if I’m in my grandmothers. I am used to being in peoples homes for my work and I always treat anyone’s property with the utmost care and respect.

“I am SO grateful for Makayla!! My two Aussies LOVED spending time with her and her Aussies! She’s an excellent communicator and made me and my pups feel so comfortable and welcome. She loved on my girls like they were her own. I highly recommend Makayla!”

About: I have had dogs all my life but have been dog sitting since I was 16 years old for neighbors, family and friends. Me and my wife have a home in Joplin missouri with a huge privacy fenced back yard. Rest assured your pets will have plenty of space for play and relaxing. I am photographer and a stay at home dad! This gives me the opportunity to be home all day for plenty of play and potty breaks. Our son is one year old but is never unsupervised around any pets. Our fenced in yard is very spacious and we have gated areas in our home to separate dogs from each other if needed. We have two dogs of our own Argyle & Daisy who are very friendly and love to play. They are also kept up to date on all vaccinations and are treated for fleas using Seresto collars. We do not have any issues with bugs of any kind and are a non smoking home. Pets are allowed on furniture and beds in our home and have comfy spaces everywhere. Be prepared for plenty of update pictures! We do not use pesticides or weed killer of any kind and our yard is kept chemical free. We also keep water indoors to prevent bacteria from building up. We refresh water as needed.

“They took very good care of our boy. We will definitely use them again.”

“We’re so happy to have found Brent to watch our littermate Lab pups, Rose and Daisy. We were way over do for a much needed shopping trip. Brent was wonderful with our overly excited girls. After we dropped them off, he got them calmed down, and they had a great time and so did we. Brent was great at communicating. Would very much like to rebook with Brent if he’ll have us.”

About: My oldest is Bubba 16yr 100 lb black lab mix and my youngest Harley 1yr 65 lb lab shepherd mix. Ive taken care of dogs/cats for over 20 years. I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is very flexible for boarding, daycare or just to drop in to make sure your furries are exercised and fed. I have a fenced in yard and a playful little girl doggo who will make sure your pet gets the exercise and attention they need. My dogs are spoiled with walks, playing frisbee, daily brushes, homemade food and treats. There is nothing better than getting to spend time with them everyday and would welcome the opportunity to look after your pup. Feel free to ask Bubba and Harley on how well they are treated!

“I was very happy with Donovan! Rosie has separation anxiety and she warmed up to him so I think he is a perfect match for her! I would recommend him to sit with your pet!”

About: I am an all around animal lover who is looking forward to taking care of your furry companion. As someone who has lived with dogs for their entire life, I know what your pet means to you and I am fully capable of providing for their needs whenever you are not around. With me, not only would I be providing them with the essentials (food, water, etc.) but I would make sure to ensure their comfort since I know how much they'll miss you (and vice versa). I am currently working part time at a local business but spend the majority of time at home. I am available most hours of the day to compassionately care for your pet! I have a fenced-in yard with two friendly dogs with plenty of space for privacy for any nervous pets visiting. We have 1 large and 1 small crate that we can easily use if your dog prefers a safe, closed-in environment. Pets are also welcome on all our furniture, I just request a fore-warning if your companion is a chewer so I know to take extra care keeping an eye on them. :) If you prefer me to come to your home to care for your pet, I would love to schedule a day to visit your home ahead of time and you can teach me their routine so I can keep them as comfortable as possible. :)

“Nina and her pups are lovely! She was able to accommodate my schedule, and I got updates while he was there.”

I often walk my sisters dogs when she can’t due to health issues. I’m ready, and have my walking shoes on! I’m retired now and walking my dog keeps me moving and I love it! I’m ready to add additional exercise for your dogs too! Let’s go! We have a fenced yard and one 6 year old friendly Weimer. We keep our dog inside but playtime occurs outdoors on great summer days
