Doggy Day Care in Rio

About: Hello, dear fellow pet parents! My name is Olesia, and my family moved to Galesburg in October 2020. I am a stay-at-home mom of a 2 year old and a 6 month old humans, 2 senior miniature poodles (who are very much puppies at heart and very well-behaved), a young sweet and kind labradoodle who we adopted last year, and a kitty named Kitty. My husband and I have been around dogs and cats since childhood. We would love to help you and take care of your pet! We will treat him or her like family. I do have a request that your pet is good with babies. Our babies are fascinated with dogs and cats but they keep a respectful distance. Thank you! I am currently staying at home with my human and fur babies and working on my dissertation. I accept boarding requests on the weekends because my husband can help me then to make sure the stay is as comfortable as possible. I have a fenced yard and friendly fur babies to keep your pet company. I can easily crate my pets if needed, especially the sometimes high energy labradoodle.

About: I have watched all dogs from puppy to old senior sweethearts, my heart belongs to all animals. My boy loves friends and always ready for a visitor! I am currently a stay at home mother, I have all the free time in the world. I spend my free time with my children and my fur babies!! I have a huge yard, not fenced in but safe and in a quiet neighborhood. All animals will be taken out on a leash and give PLENTY of time to go potty! I have a wonderful comfy couch that all animals are welcomed to cuddle with my family on!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I currently have a very chill boxer mix who is a total snuggle bug. All dogs deserve the chance to be their best dog self. Im currently off for the summer (I’m a teacher). I have flexibility and also the ability to be present and get to know each pupper. I have a large house with gated porches and a soon to be fenced backyard. I love walks, adventures, and getting to know your pup.

About: I have had extensive pet care experience over the years. I have cared for both dogs and cats, as well as smaller animals like rabbits and hamsters. I have experience with both indoor and outdoor pets, and I am comfortable with administering medication if needed. In my previous job, I was responsible for feeding, walking, and playing with the pets under my care. I also kept an eye on their health and reported any concerns to their owners. I am passionate about providing the best possible care for animals and I enjoy spending time with them. Well, pet care is an essential part of our daily and weekly routines, especially for pet owners like me. When it comes to taking care of our pets, we need to ensure that they are healthy, happy, and safe. This means providing them with proper nutrition, exercise, grooming, and veterinary care. As a pet owner, my daily pet care routine involves feeding my pet, giving them fresh water, and taking them for a walk or providing them with playtime. Additionally, I take some time to clean up after my pet, such as cleaning their litter box or picking up after them outside. Weekly pet care routines can involve much more, like giving my pet a bath, cleaning their bedding or cage, and checking for any potential health issues or concerns. I also make it a point to play with my pet and teach them new tricks during the week to keep them mentally stimulated and happy. Overall, pet care is a responsibility that pet owners like myself need to take seriously. By incorporating daily and weekly routines, we can ensure that our pets continue to thrive and live healthy, happy lives. Well, I think my approach to caring for my pets at home is pretty comprehensive. Firstly, I make sure to provide them with a clean environment, which means their area and kennel is cleaned as well as, beddings are changed regularly. I also make sure they have access to plenty of fresh water and nutritious food. In terms of exercise and playtime, I schedule a set amount of time each day for interactive play and exercise, in addition to walks outdoors. This keeps them happy, healthy and stimulated both physically and mentally. I also prioritize their medical needs by ensuring they receive regular checkups and vaccinations as needed. This proactive approach helps to prevent health problems down the line. Overall, I believe that providing a safe and nurturing environment, plenty of exercise and playtime, and proactive medical care are all key to caring for pets in a responsible and effective way.

“We had a good first experience with Emilie as Poppy’s sitter. Poppy seemed to do well during her stay, and we appreciated receiving photo updates while we were away. Communication was smooth throughout, and we didn’t have any complaints. We would be more than comfortable booking with Emilie again in the future.”

About: I started dog sitting because I know what it’s like to leave your dog and spend the whole trip wondering if they’re okay. I’m Christy and I live in east moline Illinois , and my whole approach is built around keeping your dog happy at home where they’re comfortable. I’m big on communication — you’ll know when we walked, how they ate, what weird new toy position they invented, and you’ll get proof in photo form. I genuinely enjoy the little things: earning a nervous rescue’s trust, figuring out the exact scratch spot that makes a leg kick, or giving a senior pup the slow, patient walks they deserve. I treat every dog like they’re my own and every house like it’s mine. Dogs don’t care about your to-do list, they care that someone shows up for them. That’s why I love this, I get to be that person. Pet care is my day, not an add-on. I schedule walks, meals, meds, and playtime first, then build everything else around that. I’m up early for breakfast and potty breaks, available for mid-day visits, and home in the evenings for dinner, walks, and cuddles. Your dog gets consistency because my routine is designed I offer boarding and doggy daycare in my home here in east moline Illinois , and I’m home all day with the pups. Because I work from home, your dog isn’t left alone for hours, they get constant supervision, regular potty breaks in the yard, and someone to hang out with. I don’t use crates. I believe dogs do best when they can move freely in a safe, dog-proofed space, so I only take one client’s dogs at a time and make sure everyone gets along before booking. I stick to your dog’s normal feeding and walk schedule, and we spend the day based on what they need: playtime for the energetic ones, nap spots and quiet company for the mellow ones. You’ll get photo updates throughout the day so you know exactly how they’re doing. My house is their house while they’re here.

“Jessica was able to accommodate our last minute doggy day care request. She watched over our puppies closely and took amazing care of them. She provided great communication accompanied by plenty of pictures throughout their stay as well. We will definitely book again when the need arises in the future!”

About: I have raised my perfect babies since they were 8 weeks old. I know how important love, care, attention, and walks are when it comes to your furry family. My home will become theirs and they will be given the most love and care. I follow any and all special instructions for your babies and will keep you updated every step of the way, if that is what you want! If your babies need a place to stay or to just get a way I love to go on walks and I love to spread the joy that comes from being an animal lover. I am currently working part time so I will be able to give all of the love and care that your babies need. If I am working it is at a farmers market. I have a small fenced in front yard and ability to take trips to dog parks if that is something you would want. I have a play pen and 3 crates if your fur baby would ever need it. I know accidents happen so I will never hold any hard feelings towards a pup if an accident did occur. Life over objects, almost everything can be replaced except life itself, so the quality of your pets life will come first.

“Erika did a wonderful job watching my pup and on short notice too. She sent pics during the day to let me know he was doing good and having fun!”
