Doggy Day Care River Gardens

About: I may not have dogs of my own but I sure do love being around them. Before moving I use to volunteer at an animal shelter and I loved it there just to see how dogs were able to have at least a couple of minutes of happiness from pups to seniors. I also foster kitties and have two of my own! I am currently attending nursing school, so can’t fit a full time job into my schedule. This is the best option because it’s something I love and I can still complete my studies! I would first build trust with the animal ensuring they are not frightened by me. Aside from that I love for the owners to tell me more about their pet to allow me to best adjust my skills to accommodate the pet.

“Mack had a great time with Grisel! She sent many photos throughout the day, and Mack was playing with other dogs and looked very happy. Grisel is very responsive and great with Mack!”

“My dogs came back super happy and tired from Marc’s. I needed someone quick and he was very accommodating. My dogs had fun with Marc and his dog Odin. We will definitely be using him in the future.”

“Heath Bar didn’t make it easy - he barked the entire time at Danielle’s unless she was there with him, I k ew he had separation anxiety but the only time it presented for the last several years was while he was alone in the car. His being alone in the house was not a problem for him. My take away is to be certain someone will be at home with him for most of the time he will be in someone else’s care. Danielle was very responsive and kept me informed the day Heath was in her care.”

About: I have been a pet owner for virtually my entire life! Cats, dogs, rabbits and even a bird! My partner and I recently lost our beloved Jack Russell Terrier “Terrie” after 14 wonderful years. While regular travel commitments make it difficult to adopt another companion of our own at this time, we would love the opportunity to care for your “best fur-iend” when we are home! My partner and I both work from home, so, rest assured, someone will always be there with your pet for playtime, potty breaks and walks. I have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood. The house is of a decent size and currently we are without a full-time pet of our own. Your pet will enjoy being the center of attention!

“Becky was amazing with our newly adopted fur baby! I had to reach out last minute and she was so willing to help. She took Daisy out for her walks and gave her her medicine and ointments as well as sent me updates throughout their day together ◡̈”

“Tanisha was fantastic with my dog Morty. My dog is reactive and nervous around new dogs, and she was willing to do whatever it takes to make sure he would feel comfortable with her and her dog. We did a meet and greet, followed by a test overnight board and test daycare. It was incredible to see how well my dog settled in with her. You can tell she cares a lot about the dogs she watches. I got a lot of pictures and videos of my dog while he was with Tanisha (more than I've ever gotten from a sitter). I highly recommend Tanisha!”

About: I am a longtime cat and dog lover with over 25 years experience in caring for pets. I also have experience working in healthcare and love to care for senior pets, puppies, kittens and pets of all ages and sizes. I am recently retired from my 30 plus years in Healthcare and am looking forward to my dream job of providing your fur babies care in my loving home. I have a fenced yard with a nearby park in Woodlake neighborhood for outdoor fun. But most days we will be cuddling on the couch.

“Martha was very attentive with my dog Arthur! We had booked a daycare visit and will be using her again in May twice! She was very professional and was always keeping me updated with my dog. I love how detail oriented she was with always letting me know how Arthur was.”

“Matt was absolutely fantastic Very responsive and accommodating. Professional and friendly. Highly recommended Gerty & Wally we’re excited to play with Matt and his adorable dog Kobe. They were both happily exhausted when I picked them up. We will definitely rebook for future needs”

“My puppy had a great time with Achara! He came home happy and very tired from all the playtime! Achara was great at sending updates throughout the day.”

“Wunna was amazing! The moment our dog, Shadow, met him, they got along and Shadow trusted him immediately. He was flexible and accommodating of our schedule. He responded to our messages quickly too, which we really appreciated.”

“Athena was happy to stay with Janessa. We got cute photo and updates during the day which was really helpful for us because Athena is not used to stay away from us. We had to prolong her stay for a couple of hours and Janessa was super understanding and helpful.”

Luciana J.

“I highly recommend Joel! My old girl was calm and happy after her day stay. Extremely considerate of Lola’s needs. She’s a picky pup and can be stressed by strangers, but not with Joel. Didn’t have to worry about her safety or well-being. A great help and huge relief.”

“Anna looked after Simba while I attended a concert, she kept me updated with lots of pictures about what Simba was up to - I didnt have to worry about him! She made sure that Simba had a fun time with lots of love and treats! If you're looking for someone that'll make your pooch feel at home and have some fun while you're away - Anna's the one to choose!!”

“We had a fantastic experience with Miya. We really felt very warm when we met her the first time and when our dog was with her for a day, it was his first time at a daycare. She sent us photos and videos every few hours and our dog seemed to have enjoyed a lot. We would definitely recommend Miya and she will be our go-to sitter for sure. 5 stars. Thank you Miya for taking care of Koja and we are thankful we found you.”

“Tanzina took great care of our little Icarus during his daycare stay! She took great photos, and logged our dogs day perfectly, letting us keep track of our pup. She is great at communicating, and provides an upbeat and professional experience!”

“Kylie was the first person we chose to watch our puppy, Birdie, off rover and we are so happy with our decision. She's so sweet and updated us throughout the night on our pup which made us feel more at ease. We will hands down be contacting her again for future stays.”
