Doggy Day Care in Rubicon

About: I have taken care of my own pets, as well as many others in my home. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me with their loved pets! I am currently working part time and mostly from home. I am in school part time from home as well, so I can be with your pet the entire time. I have a fenced in yard and only 1 dog myself. I can walk dogs. I can crate them if needed. I can offer baths as well!

About: I have always had a dog growing up, so I learned from a very young age how to care for a pet. Friends and family have trusted me to take care of their dogs since I was around 12 years old. This includes stopping in the house to take them to the bathroom and feeding them, as well as giving medication if needed. Lots of snuggles and playtime too of course! I have taken care of dogs in the client's home for up to a week and cared for them at my home as well. No need to worry about any complex feeding schedules. I can manage it all. I am very comfortable with any age, breed, and sized dog! I have a one-year-old pup, so I am very familiar with training and puppy classes. I have volunteered at the humane society and when I was in high school, I job shadowed at a veterinary clinic. I currently work as a substitute teacher so my schedule is extremely flexible! During the summer months I am completely open. Weekdays and weekends any time of day. I make my own schedule so there will be no conflicts. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for some off leash playtime! My dog loves to run around playing fetch with a ball or stick. I have a walking path across the street from my home and am walking distance to nature hill for some extra exercise. I always have water, waste bags and small treats with me when going on walks. (My dogs personal favorites are cheerios). I am comfortable walking with any leash, collar or harness. I have two kennels in my living room if your dog needs to be crated. At least one crate is big enough to fit a large or XL dog. I have a baby gate in front of my stairs, and the basement door is always shut. I personally love going to the pet store or drive thru to get my pet a pup cup! I would be more than happy to take your dog for an adventure and for some extra love and enrichment!

“Gianina watched my 7 month old puppy for 4 consecutive days. She was awesome to work with and each day my puppy came home happy, healthy, and tired. I truly appreciate her caring for him so well and I would absolutely book with her again in the future.”

“Had a great report from Shane & Mikaela! Lots of pictures taken during his daycare day! :)”

“Mary was fantastic. I have never had to leave my dog with a sitter before so he is very attached to me. Mary was kind and made him feel at home and sent me lots of pictures so I knew he was happy.”

About: Love to walk, run or go on hikes often depending on your request! Happy to assist your pet while you are away and send lots of updates! If visits are needed during the weekend and/or when school is off my three children will likely be joining me to help. I’m available full time, typically start dog runs at 9:00am and love to go on hikes (weather permitting) I am open to any additional pet requests. We have a large grassed yard with access to the lake for swimming and dock jumping. Additionally, daily walks and runs on leash. Lots of extra pet supplies if needed.

“Henry has no anxiety when I drop him off and he is always calm and content when I pick him up. Courtney obviously cares well for the dogs trusted to her. I appreciate her flexibility in the times I drop off and pick up.”

“Ryan was very accommodating and thoughtful as we dropped our dog off for an afternoon. He listened and was engaging as we discussed our pup’s routine. We would go back to Ryan next time we are in the area.”

“Wonderful experience with April! I felt very comfortable that Mila was in good hands. The photo updates and report summary was very helpful! Thank you!”

“Roger did a great job taking care of our 5 month old, super high energy Belgian Malinois puppy for about half a day. She was worn out by the time I picked her up which is awesome. And I really appreciate that Roger was able to do this on Mother's Day--many others didn't have that kind of availability. We'll definitely do doggie daycare with Roger the next time we need to. Thanks Roger!”

About: We lost our sweet Blue (11 year old labradoodle) 3 years ago of bone cancer, and have recently become empty nesters. We LOVE dogs, and our cat has missed his canine companion. Our yard is over an acre, and includes a wooded area. We are also located near beautiful trails that we can walk to. Both of us work from home the majority of the time, and we will only open our home up to furry house guests if we are sure that at least one of us is available to be home the majority of the day. Your dog will love the extra love and attention that they will receive, and we tend to be a bit lenient with letting dogs on furniture/beds. Most of our neighbors own dogs, and there are young children next door. That being said, a dog that is friendly with other dogs and not wary of children would LOVE a vacation with us. I am working part time, and my husband works at least 1/2 of the time from home. We are flexible with dog schedules, and have experience with "elderly" dogs with special needs. We have a large yard (over an acre), which is not fenced in. Our neighborhood connects to walking trails and parks, so your dog will have ample exercise opportunities. We are extremely flexible with our schedules, and can adapt to meet your dog's current routines.

“Fitz loves going to Dana O. He is always happy to see her in the morning. Dana spends personal time with Fitz by walking and taking Fitz to her appointments. Fitz and I love Dana and would highly recommend her!!”

About: Hello! I'm Susu and I would love to care for your pet. I've been caring for animals since a very young age. My family and I would always bring in and care for fosters and strays, along with our own. Learning to train pups at such a young age has made it one of my biggest passions. I understand that every dog is different and it's all about learning who they are. I adapt and adjust to any dogs needs until they are happy and comfortable. Of course playtime is great but I will also inforce balance by having them do tricks and giving rewards. I believe in positive reinforcement and encouraging them to be their best furry selves. I will truly love your pet like my own. I do have a dog of my own named lexus. She is a rescue so she can be a little wary of strangers but is never shy around another furry friend! She has been socialized all of her life and loves to run and play. She understands social cues very well so if the other dog is uninterested in playing she will leave them alone. If Lexus and your dog meet I'm sure they will be best of friends! Whether it's just a walk or they stay a few nights I cant wait to meet your pup! My schedule is very flexible. I am a stay at home mom, photographer, mua and an artist. I am open to last minute scheduling if needed or scheduling something further in advance. Something consistent and on going would be preferred but if it’s just a one time thing that is okay with me as well! For walks we will go on a walk around the block. If needed we will work on not pulling the leash. For a boarding visit I will get them all set up and comfortable in my house. If it’s nice out we will go for a walk and play outside. Playing indoors as well and working on tricks they know or maybe learning a new one. Potty breaks will be provided whenever needed and food will be given as directed.

About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life and I've had my first (adult life) dog for three and a half year. Wila Rose is an Australian Cattle Dog mix. About a year and a half ago we added another rescue, Buckley Quinn. He is a smart but goofy boy. They both go backpacking with us and we do a lot of hiking on our local public land areas. We enjoy playing around in our yard with our limited dog agility set and learning new tricks. We occasionally go swimming but love jumping and exploring new water areas and hiking trails. Wila and Buckley are a huge part of my life. We enjoy hiking, being outdoor, and traveling as much as possible. We do quite a but of training included but not limited to: agility, scent training, shed training, and just some fun party tricks. I am new to Rover so please feel free to reach out with any questions. I have an acre of land (not fenced in). We love to go on walks and sniffaris at our local parks. Buckley loved to play with other dogs and Wila is more of a people dog. They even loves to go backpacking and hiking which often include 10+ miles a day.

About: Big-dog experience, lots of love to give! I’m great at reading dogs, meeting their needs, and keeping them happy, exercised, and cared for. Can’t wait to hang with your pup! Since I’m home full-time with my dogs, I have open availability for walks, potty breaks, and drop-in visits. I am available 7 days a week. I have occasional obligations I need to attend, as well as a few personal upcoming vacations. I treat every pup like my own! I make sure they’re safe when I arrive and leave, feeling happy and relaxed during the visit, and all set until their parents get home. I follow routines closely and always go at your dog’s pace so they feel comfortable and cared for.

About: I have grown up with dogs all of my life. I have most experience with medium large to giant breeds. I currently have a lab (8 years old) and a Newfoundland mix puppy (1 year). I have foster dogs in the past, and watched others dogs for an extended period of time and I love all types of breeds. But Big dogs have my heart. Your dogs will be pampered and can be on the couch, bed, or dog bed. We have an enclosed deck perfect for sun bathing pooches or those who love to sit in the cold (like my Newfoundland). Potty breaks will be leashed to ensure the safety of your beloved dog. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible on how to care for a dog. Unlimited potty breaks if needed. Live in a quiet neighborhood with sidewalks. I can provide a pick up and drop off service if you need it. Any dog in my home will be treated as if they were my own. Dog safety and comfortability is my number one priority. They can play all day while you’re away. Your dogs will be pampered and can be on the couch, bed, or dog bed. All new clients must agree to a meet and greet prior to me confirming a booking.

About: I have had dogs for well over 50 years. All different types. I was a field trial trainer of English Springer Spaniels at one point of my dog owner career. I am well versed in handling well man eted dogs to dogs that require a bit more training. I am available to give your dog all day care or overnight care. I am retired and very active with my own dog. Getting your dog outdoors is no problem at all. I am available all day to give you pet the best care needed. One day or entire week. I am here for your pet. Thanks. Your pet will have run of my house/condo or they can be crated if necessary. My yard is not fenced yet still very comfortable for your dog and myself to enjoy the day outside.

“Cooper loved being with Ashlyn and was sad each day I had to take him home. She walked him each day and played with him. She sent me pictures and videos of his stay. I will be booking with her for future needs.”
