Doggy Day Care in Peculiar

“Willow had a great day at daycare! I received plenty of pictures and knew that my dog was receiving great care!”

About: I grew up on a working farm with working dogs and have had dogs my entire life. I currently love and manage a pack of 4 dogs in my home. 1 Great Pyrenees, 1 Pyrador, and 2 Komonees pups. They are my world! These are BIG girls. Our smallest puppy is 53 pounds. Our biggest girl is 88. They’re surprisingly agile so small dogs are ok! 100+ pound dogs are welcome, in fact encouraged. And every dog in between! We love dogs of all shapes and sizes. I work part time in an emergency vet clinic as a senior vet assistant Monday & Tuesday evenings, and Saturdays. My husband will be home during those times. Monday there is a 3 hour time span where the dogs are left at home with one of the kids 15 or older. In the past, I co-owned my own reptile and exotic LLC for 5 years, KC Cresties (dissolved due to divorce). So I’m comfortable and experienced caring for your scaly friends, sugar gliders, chinchillas, ferrets, prairie dogs, opossums, or whatever other cool friend(s) you have. Large snakes, monitors, and Iguanas are ok! My family successfully rehabbed 2 baby raccoons that lost their mom and returned them to the wild when it was time. The day they left and never came home was filled with joy and sadness that we were very fortunate to be a part of. We have 2 cats in the house who are friendly with both other cats and dogs. I keep a sturdy metal baby gate up for their space away from the dogs so they have a sanctuary. There’s very few animals I don’t have experience with, and I love them all. Big dogs and working dogs are no problem. Trouble with leash pulling? No problem. Got a hyper jumper? It’s ok, I’ve got a solid foundation. Puppies? No sweat, I have old laminate flooring and we walk every 2-3 hours. Lastly, you can count me as a former HR professional surrounding school aged children based organizations. I left HR to pursue a career with animals and am currently going doing online classes to earn my vet tech degree. Animals have always been my passion. With me only working part time in the vet clinic and opposite shifts as my husband, it ensures your pup will always have someone home with them. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and respect I treat my own. Pets are a big part of our lives and they are our family. Feeding time is approximately 8am and 6pm (unless otherwise requested). We add scrambled eggs to our morning feeding and homemade dog food to our dinner. Homemade food is AAFCO approved recipes. Every dog has their own food dish and 3 giant water bowls are available from 6am to 8pm. Water is picked up overnight for housebreaking purposes. Treat circles are 2-3 times per day. We work on basics. Sit, lay, paw, etc. Level 2 commands are practiced once per day for those who have mastered level 1. I love a good game of catch the treat! After commands, I always toss a few rounds of treats. I have a well stocked variety of treats, so your pups dietary preferences can be honored. Each dog is walked separately. Belle alerts us when it’s walk time. Every 2-3 hours. Weather permitting, our dogs like to sit and wait on the porch for their turn to walk. It’s a gated 10x20. Please let me know if your dog is an escape artist or a jumper so that I can take proper safety precautions. If your pup does decides they need an additional potty break, that’s no problem either. Our dogs are all current on vaccinations and take heart-worm and flea preventive through our vet’s office. Records can be provided upon request. Cat sitting can be provided on the other half of the house divided by a sturdy metal baby gate. Cats will be provided with toys and separate meal dishes according to your feeding instructions. Litter will be changed daily. Small animals and Exotic care: for most exotics leaving the home is very stressful and recommended care is in your home. However there are exceptions to this rule. We can discuss your unique needs and what is most appropriate for your pets health and well being. Some animals in small habitats don’t mind staying somewhere new as long as they’re safe in their world. Transportable habitats are welcome.

“Kourtney and her husband were the perfect first daycare for my puppy. Kourtney was attentive to all of my requests and my puppies schedule. She even spent time training Minnow during her lunch. She went above and beyond to teach her leash walking as well! I really appreciated the way they treated my puppy and how friendly they were to me. Kourtney was thorough with updates and report cards. We had a great experience.”

“Meilan and family and their pups were so perfect with my dog Hachi! I know he had a great time and he will definitely be spending time with them again.”

About: I have much experience with all types of dogs, bigger pups like German Shepherds, or smaller pups like Yorkies! As well as many other breeds. I have handled reactive dogs, leash pullers, and lazy ones! Happy to help whoever I can! I’m a new stay at home mom, so getting out and getting fresh air during the day while you work, or keeping an eye on them while you’re away is perfect for me! I live on 10 acres of land with a big 3 acre pond. Plenty for a pup to roam, without getting too close to traffic ways, as might house is behind the pond on the far back of the acreage. As well as a beautiful neighborhood for walks! Can crate pups if needed!

“Billie gives such kind, loving care to Ginger. She makes adorably decorated little jars of home made treats for special holidays and is a wonderful caregiver to our senior dog. Her own dog is an easy going older fella himself, and they ignore each other companionable. 😄”

“Linda and Michael were amazing. We will definitely use them anytime we are back in the KC area. They were kind, showed us their space, great with communication and sent us pictures so we knew our doodle was taken care of. 10 out of 10 recommend! Nora had a great time.”

“My GRIM just stayed with Aubrey today and I am not waiting to write a review! I am so so happy he got to experience a great play day with her and her dog after our last experience with another sitter a few weeks ago. I will definitely be reaching out to Aubrey every time I need a sitter from now on! She had no issues watching my pitbull breed. She fed him and gave me the food back that he didn’t eat instead of leaving me wondering how much he had ate. She sent me multiple pictures throughout the day. She had all of his stuff ready to go when I got there to pick him up. She had a clean and very spacious fenced back yard for them to run around in all day. She and her family were very friendly and welcoming. I could not have asked for anything more!”

About: Ive been doing Rover now for almost 2 years and it has brought me so much joy and new friends! I worked a summer at kc zoo and it was the most fun job I have ever had. I've had dogs and cats my whole life. Also around horses from my uncle. I have adopted all of my animals from shelters. I love my dogs and cats like they are family. I have a teenage son I have to keep out of petco or any other animal place otherwise he wants to bring all the animals home, joking but not completely untrue. It's how we ended up with our Kitty Maisey. We even took care of the class's bearded dragon over spring break during Covid. He will come along on visits if available as he is the animal whisperer and wants to be a vet. Our 2 dogs are Dottie (our adopted covid pointer mix pup who is the sweetest girl and loves to have visitors to play with), and Marley who is our very sweet, laid back senior dog. Both our pups were rescues. Marley is afraid of thunderstorms and fireworks so we sre familliar with giving medications and making dogs feel safe and comfortable. Dottie is allergic to something during the late summer and September month and takes medicine for that allergy at that time. We believe in treats but only rawhide free and dental bones. Please bring your own food and treats and let me know if you prefer not to share our treats. We also have 2 cats that are used to dogs and in fact think that each dog is their mommy since we got them as kittens and have an attachment to their respective dog mommy. You will even find cats and dogs snuggling together on the bed. Or Moose playing with Dottie in his tunnel. I have had animals with special needs from a diabetic cat that I gave insulin injections to treating animals with special needs. I live right down the street from a great dog park here in belton. We would love to take any new friends to visit. Please let me know if you prefer them not to go to the dog park and we can stay here and play. We have a fenced back yard but one side is only 4 ft. I work from home as a director so I have a very flexible schedule. My son does play competitive soccer so sometimes weekends have us at soccer field for about 2 hours. I have a fenced yard 3 sides are 6 foot privacy and one has a 4 foot chain link. I follow my client's care directions in their homes.

“Alea was very accommodating and took care of my dog while I was visiting in the area.”

“Kelci was a fantastic sitter for our puppy. As soon as you meet her you can sense her genuine love for animals. They took such great care of Winston and we could tell he was comfortable with their family and other pets when we came to pick him up. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in good hands with lots of space to play! We will definitely be choosing Kelci again!”

About: I’ve spent my entire life caring for and loving animals. I was farm raised so my love for animals stretches beyond just cats and dogs. I have had experience with all ages of animals from newborns to seniors in their last stages of life. In the last few years I’ve fostered many animals in hopes of giving them a second chance at life. My pets are my family and I’ll ensure your pets feel welcome and safe with me too! I work from home allowing me to be with the pets almost all the time. I am able to accommodate almost any food or potty schedule, helping pets feel less stressed and in a familiar routine. I have a large fenced yard and two very sweet dogs to keep your pets entertained. We also have a cat who sticks to herself but who also isn’t afraid of new animals. We have 3 children from age 8-16. I can accommodate most schedules including feedings, walking, potty breaks, medicines or any other special needs that your pet might have. Do not hesitate to ask if your pet has special diets, treatments or routines to see if we can make it work.

“Nick and Rose are amazing. Nyla jumped out the car and ran straight to Nick. I told Nick Nyla wouldn't let me clip her nails and I received a photo with the clipped nails. It's nice to know Nyla is in good hands.”

“Kella and her family have been so incredibly kind and accommodating to us. My husband and I both work abnormal (healthcare) hours and we are so happy to have a safe place to leave our girl while we’re both working. Our puppy, Fig, can be pretty standoffish with people. After 2 or 3 visits, we could tell that she loved this family! Fig always comes home happy and exhausted. 💛💛💛”

Maggie R.

“The family was waiting for our arrival with open arms on such short notice. Without even my asking, images of the environment (clean) and the attention Ringo was receiving was sent within an hour of drop-off. Flexible to my situation to drop Ringo off at another location. I would recommend and use their service again.”

About: I’ve owned many pets, cats and dogs included. I currently own dogs, and I spend most of my day, everyday, with them. They’re my people. I am 20 years old and currently doing Rover full time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pups. They will receive my undivided attention with playtime and walks included if needed! I have a large home with a large privacy fenced yard. I also have several crates, or you can bring your own if you like. I have ample food in case you forget to bring your own. I will allow your pets to hang out with me wherever I am in the house and take them out frequently for restroom breaks to the backyard . I also have a room designated just for dogs with a TV, dog couch, and toys. I have gates to block stairways for dogs that don’t do well on stairs. Basically I have everything you need to provide a safe, comfortable, and happy environment for pets!

“Elizabeth was great with Rip! Sent pictures throughout the day he looked like he was having a fun time with her other dogs!”

About: I have been pet sitting since before my children were born and they are now grown. I am a young retiree with lots of time, but I am also active enough to keep up with even the most energetic babies. Most pets do better in their own environment and routine. Advanced notice is required to prior to gather all the information necessary to ensure a smooth process. Spoiling your pet with all the attention they require is my top priority. With house sitting services, you have the added bonus of having your home looked after as well. When appropriate, I also offer boarding services in my home one client at a time. ***My dog will stay with me on all house sitting bookings*** I adjust my schedule to your meet your babies needs. Your babies come first, my schedule comes second. I am retired, so I spend the vast majority of the day with them. During the meet and greet, I gather all the information needed in order to keep their routine as close as possible to their current routine.

About: I haven't dog sat previously, but I have owned a dog since I was a little kid. I know the ins and outs of taking care ofa pe. I currently have a full-time job, so I would care for your pet on weekends, holidays, or some early mornings. If known in advance I can try and take some time off to care for your pet if needed more than just weekends. I have a fenced back yard, with 3 friendly dogs that would keep your pup busy! I also have extra kennels if your pet must be kenneled!

“Noha was great, super flexible and responsive! Winnie had a wonderful time with her during daytime daycare. Would definitely book again!”
