Doggy Day Care in Plato

“Trish was fabulous. Along with sending lots of pics of our pup through out the day, she was so easy to talk to and kind. Wini had lots of fun and we could tell Trish really cared about each of the dogs in her care. We highly recommend her!!”

“He sends updates and love the Rover card at the end. Theodore is always a little shy coming in but warms up and loves his buddy Timber. It takes a while for Theodore to warm up to others since he is a mama boy but Jason has the patience to win him over.”

About: We have had 2 dogs for quite some time. Cody always had a pet in the home growing up and we have had our dogs since they were puppies (the oldest is 8 years old). We are willing to give any medicines and we brush our own dogs teeth at night, so we can do yours if you would like! Cody works from home, and Ashley is home most of the time so we will be willing to work with you and what your pup needs! We have a single family home with a fenced in yard and 2 fur babies ourselves to keep your pet company! We also have a doggy door to the backyard if your pup knows how to use it :) We do not crate our own dogs but are willing to crate your pup if that is the preference. We usually take our dogs on 4 walks per day, lasting about 30 minutes each walk plus free roam in the backyard.

“Danny provided a great home to my newly adopted 6 year old poodle. There is alot of affection in the home. She is very careful with Peanut during walks and the transitions at pick up and drop off.”

“Abbey took excellent care of our Husky! She was very flexible and attentive to his needs and took her time to walk me through the arrangements. Our boy was super happy and loved, I strongly recommend her!”

“This was my first time leaving my doggo with anyone from River and Ali was amazing! She was able to care for Benito, my Golden Retriever for a long day while I went to visit family just outside of town. She sent me updates regularly and Benito had a great time. She was super mindful of the cold weather and made sure Benito was safe from too extreme temperatures and still made sure to get some exercise and play time in. I appreciate Ali and know to reach out to her again when I need someone trustworthy to watch him for me whenever needed.”

“Auden was fantastic! Communication was great throughout the day along with photos of our pup playing and on walks! We definitely would love Auden to watch our dog again!”

About: I treat every dog like my own and love creating routines that keep dogs happy, safe, and comfortable. Whether it’s sticking to their favorite walking route or making sure they get the right amount of play and rest, I pay close attention to each dog’s unique needs. I’m patient, dependable, and always focused on making your pup feel secure and loved while you're away. I'm currently working part-time on weekends at the hospital so I have plenty of time during the week to dedicate to pet care! I love spending time with animals, so this feels natural and rewarding. I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and stress free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, or medication needs—and I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of love and attention.

“These guys were great. Our dog appeared to be well looked after and comfortable during her stay. Nice and clean space. They provided updates throughout the day with some wonderful pictures. The attention they provided was appreciated, and our dog seemed to have a lot of fun! We’d have no problem leaving her in their care again.”

About: I have had cats, dogs, and other small animals in my home for as long as I can remember. I am experienced in many breeds, sizes from small to large, and ages from kitten/puppy to elderly. I am a nurse and have experience administering oral and injectable medication to the most difficult patients 😜 including cats/dogs. I have two very sweet mini schnauzers of my own. I am experienced in training and use only positive reinforcement methods. I am loving to animals of all kinds and would love the chance to care for yours! I work from home all week days but Wednesday, from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm. I am free most weekends as well! If your dog gets along with others I am willing to welcome them into my home. For kitties and other dogs, I am reliable and trustworthy to go to your home to provide care as requested. I have two very friendly (almost too friendly) mini schnauzers and two boys aged 10 and 12. They absolutely love dogs and cats so this would be an exciting opportunity for them too! I have a leash/cord outside that I attach my dogs to, I remain outside to ensure they are safe while they do their business.

“Michael was patient and very kind, thank you again!”

“Christine was great with My Felix. He enjoyed snuggling up with her daughter. He seemed to really have a good time protecting their home like a watch dog. But I would definitely book again in the future.”

“Kasey was an absolute blessing to us! Our daughter was admitted to Iowa City Hospital and we were traveling with our 2 fur babies. We had no idea how we would be able to visit her, but Kasey made it possible! Her location to the hospital is absolutely perfect! Her love of animals is extremely evident when you visit her lovely home! Knowing she will be able to care for our dogs for future hospital visits with our daughter gives us such peace of mind! You will not be disappointed if you choose Her!”

About: I have much enthusiasm for helping people and pets out, am experienced in babysitting, and work well when under pressure and memorize instructions very quickly! Recently graduated from undergrad, I’m currently a part time student at another university (fully online, only one class) so I have virtually all the free time these days ! I give my full attention to the pets, and I have a secure home with various ways for them to enjoy spending their time either playing or simply resting.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my personalized approach to pet care and my commitment to building a genuine bond with each animal. I understand that every pet has unique needs, whether it’s providing structured training for puppies, giving extra patience and care to senior pets, or ensuring anxious animals feel calm and secure. I have experience with administering medications, managing special diets, and adapting to a wide range of temperaments. My attention to detail, reliable communication, and deep love for animals ensure that both pets and their owners feel supported and cared for during my time with them. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and plenty of free time to spend with your pets! Between classes I have large breaks, evenings, and weekends open, so I can easily fit walks, drop-ins, or playtime into my routine. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I’d love to make your pet part of my day. When providing pet and house sitting services, I ensure both your pets and your home are cared for with the utmost attention and respect. For your pets, I maintain their daily routines, including feeding, exercise, and any special care they require, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved in your absence. I also take care of your home by keeping it clean and secure, watering plants, collecting mail, and addressing any household needs as instructed. I’m attentive to details, such as locking doors, and keeping the environment tidy. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pets while maintaining the safety and cleanliness of your home.
