Doggy Day Care Rutland

“I hesitate to leave a great review for Sarah, because she may not be able to take care of my Lexi dog, from being too busy, but to be honest I couldn't be more happy with the way she takes care of her, very happy with the service.”

About: Hi, I’m Taylor, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and needs! I offer boarding, walking, and house-sitting, and specialize in everything from puppy energy to senior snuggles. I’ve worked with repeat clients over the years and am comfortable handling structured routines, medication schedules, and special dietary needs. My late senior dog Jake, who passed in July 2021, taught me just how rewarding it is to give older pets the comfort and compassion they deserve. On the flip side, I’ve also fostered plenty of puppies, and currently have a 5 month old pup of my own named Spur! I know how important it is to keep them active, consistent, and safe as they grow. Cats are a big part of my care experience too – I’ve bottle-fed kittens and cared for elderly cats needing daily medications, ear drops, special foods, and that gentle, patient touch only a true cat person can give. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a long walk, a quiet cuddle session, or just keeping things calm and consistent while you’re away, I’m here to help. I treat every pet like my own, with love, attention, and respect for their unique personality and needs. I'm working from home with pet-sitting, photography, and marketing jobs! I am very flexible in terms of travel and overall availability. Early mornings, afternoons, nights - I'm your gal! I have a big yard with many in-ground leads for the dogs to play safely without escape! My other two (very kind) fur babies will keep them company while they're away from home. While we do have cats, they are very independent creatures and usually reside in one room of our home. Easy to shut off for those who don't love felines!

“Katie (and her family!) are the BESTESSESSESS!! This was the first time we left our puppy with a stranger or ever used Rover so I was a bit anxious. She did a meet n greet with us to relieve some nerves. She sent pictures every day. Each day Riley went she was pulling me out of the car tail wagging running to the front door. I'm so grateful for Katie, we were able to enjoy our vacation and know our puppy was safe and being loved on!!!!”

About: I had a 40 pound black lab for 14 years that I loved dearly. She loved walking to the lake everyday and swimming. For a couple of years her sister stayed with me as well. I've drove Amazon for 2 years so I'm use to every dog and use to being in different situations with dogs. Love dogs of all sizes and breeds. I've had numerous friends and family have me house sit there dogs and houses over the years. My Mom and my Dad on occasion stay with me with their 2 female dogs. I'll let you know if I have the 2 female dogs when they are staying with me. They love going to the dog park and love being around other dogs and are trained really well. They'll welcome any dog to their little pack. I have an open schedule for pet sitting or dog walking. That allows me to care for the needs of the pets I care for. My flexibility allows me take care of the customers needs and wants for their pet. I own my my own house and have no fenced area. I have no neighbors on either side of my house so I can freely play with the dogs in my backyard. I do have a big cage if needed to cage any dogs. I don't care if dogs are on my furniture. I'm also very close to a dog park if your dog enjoys dog parks.

About: Why is my price so competitive? I keep my rates lower because inflation has pushed pet‑service costs to levels that no longer make sense for everyday pet owners. Many boarding facilities now charge prices that rival or even exceed the cost of an Airbnb, which I believe is unreasonable. My pricing reflects a commitment to fairness—quality pet lodging shouldn’t break your travel budget. Working remotely allows me to attend to you pets at the highest level with frequent breaks to go outside and stretch, run, and play! I look forward to having a co-worker snoozing next to me. Having a one acre FENCED yard will be your dogs dream. They will always be constantly monitored when they are outside exploring, sniffing and urinating on everything. I live in a low density neighborhood. The traffic is usually 1-2 cars per hour on my street.

About: I have 20+ years of experience. I started caring for other people’s pets as well as my own when I was 9 years old. I have experience in basic training, leash walking, interactive playtime, potty schedule, food amount per size, dietary restrictions and medication needs, and bathing. I can accommodate drop offs and pick ups in 30-minute slots from 7:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. I am a virtual high school teacher with a flexible schedule. I spend most of my days at home, allowing me to provide your 4-legged family member with unlimited supervision, playtime/rest, and potty breaks. My work-from-home schedule is 10:00am-6:30pm. If I were to leave, it would be to the gym. However, I would do my best to plan accordingly so I do not have outside commitments when pet sitting. My goal is to treat your pet as my own, making sure they feel loved and cared for. My home has a fenced yard for the loving furbabies to play. It is also a quiet neighborhood so the walks are relaxing. When pets stay with me they have their own guest room which is also my office so they will be with me all day and night. There are 2 XXL crates (approx. 4’x3’), 2 large, and 1 medium which can be prepped for use if needed or recommended by owner.

“Adrienne was very warm and welcoming, and great with Mulligan. Mulligan had a great time during the meet and greet and during his stay with her and her husband! We would definitely book with her again.”

About: I’ve been living with dogs my whole life and I love all kinds of pets! I have experience with all ages and sizes of dogs and cats except bottle-babies. I am a certified dog trainer and formerly worked at an animal rescue as the behavior manager. This has provided me with experience with dogs and cats of various temperaments from a variety of situations. I also offer private dog training and other pet services through my private business. My work schedule is pretty flexible so I can make time any day of the week to work with you and your pets. For dogs in boarding, I always make time throughout the day for plenty of playing, physical exercise, mental enrichment, and relaxation. I have experience with a variety of care requirements including special handling for animals of different temperaments, walking and exercising dogs with behavioral issues, preparing specialized diets, and administering medications that I am confident in applying to your pet’s needs. While boarded, each dog has their own space to sleep, eat, and otherwise relax without being bothered by other dogs in the home. This can be a crate or puppy pen depending on what is the best fit for the dog. This is also where the dogs stay while I am out of the house to prevent any incidents between dogs. During the day, the dogs have the opportunity to spend their time inside or outside. There are plenty of toys and beds inside for some playing or relaxing. Outside, they have a fenced-in acre to run, explore, and roughhouse. The dog-friendly pool will be ready for use in April 2026. It has a 8x16ft sun shelf to allow for lounging in shallow water and a ramp for easy access in and out of the deep end. It is screened in to prevent anyone from slipping in unnoticed. For days that don’t allow for much exercise outside, I have treadmills to burn energy for dogs that are comfortable with them and plenty of puzzle feeders to keep their minds busy.

About: I love animals, especially dogs and cats. I am respectful and considerate, and I spoil and pet them all the time. I have been taking care of animals practically since I was a child. I am aware that they have important basic needs to consider, such as bathroom time, meal time, walk time. If they need special care or to take any medication, I am also happy to fulfill them. I work remotely from home, so I'm available to provide objective, dedicated, and responsible care. I can answer your questions via text message. And if you decide to, give me a call; I'll be happy to help your furry friends. Abrir en They will be in my constant company. I have a living room with a dining room and an additional room, spacious spaces, and a small balcony in my apartment if they like to look outside. This would be accompanied by me, of course. They will never be alone. I am very affectionate with them. I can follow the routine you have planned (as similar as possible) to your pet's so that your absence is bearable and pleasant. Just write to me and tell me what you are looking for. I will be happy to help you.

“I love Nola's day care because it is all little dogs. My pugs love all dogs of all sizes but they seem to really like being amongst a house full of little dogs. Nola & Rick take great care of the doggies. My pups come home exhausted from all the fun they had and they are excited for their next visit. It's a win all around!”

About: I'm experienced working with dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds. Working in dog training, veterinary hospitals, and even animal control has left me with a wide variety of experience. Self employed, so I have a free schedule. Only times unavailable are Sunday mornings. Any days I'll be unavailable will be known months in advance. I have a private fenced in yard with a security system. Also full access between the house and sunroom. Segregation tools like crates are available if needed.

“Bennie had the best time at Sandra’s house! It was my first time using the app and I was little nervous but Sandra sent plenty of pictures and updates so it made feel better.”

About: I've taken care of animals my entire life. Cats, dogs, birds, iguanas, ferrets and a few farm animals too. I was involved in an animal rescue group for several years, fostering many animals who had health issues. I firmly believe that all animals deserve love, shelter, safety, and food. I fall in love with almost every animal I meet! Even chickens! When I'm taking care of an animal, they get a majority of my attention and affection. I do some work from home so it should blend well. I like to meet with the owners and pets a couple of times before to be sure the animals are familiar with me and learn any important information for each pet. I try to follow the owners routine so that the pets are not confused.

About: My life has evolved around caring for the aging seniors, those with disabilities and psychological disorders. The rewards were greater then the demands. From a first grader to present day, dogs have enhanced my life, always for the better. So it only natural in my retirement that being a foster mom for several years with VIP Rescue of central Florida was a path well traveled. Learning, teaching and home placement of each foster dog was rewarding. Your pet in my home will enjoy the experience of basic obedience and grooming when necessary. Im compassionate with the aging adult dog and their health related issues. There is a 1/2 acre of shady wooded fenced area to meander. Another fenced grassy area 125'x 85' and a side yard fenced for special needs canine friends. Safety is a priority! I currently work part time in the home health field. Where I've dedicated myself full time. I'm looking to switch gears by hanging up the senior home health to canine care. My home is surrounded by a woody environment, providing shade and room for ball play with exercise. There are three fenced sections, separating small dogs from larger dogs. The shy or needy dogs from those with special needs.

About: I have been a pet owner (dogs and/or cats) for over 30 years of my life. I have past experience as a vet tech and a groomer, and I would love the opportunity to meet and treat your pup as one of my own. We have two other pups in the home who love other dogs and are hoping they’ll have a chance to play with your dogs soon! I currently work remotely, from my home for my job, so I am available to care for your pet(s) any time they may need it. I have a fenced back yard (half of which is 6ft vinyl privacy fencing) and two energetic pups of my own, to keep your doggo(s) entertained for hours.

“What a pleasant experience with Hugh! Ladybug clearly enjoyed her stay. Hugh was communicative and genuinely enjoyed sharing time with the doggies. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been working with dogs for about 9 years. I have experience from working at kennels and a veterinary office. I am pet CPR certified and have taken courses on dog behavior and body language.I have experience giving medications and insulin shots. Dogs are truly my passion and I love each and every one like they are my own. I have a very open and flexible schedule to watch your dogs! I am available weekdays, weekends and holidays. I do live on 3 acres of land with a smaller fenced in dog area off of the back pool patio. There is plenty of space for your dog to run and have fun but also can accommodate a slower lifestyle for the old timers. I have 2 dogs of my own that have been with me in many dog social situations and are accustomed to all types of friendly behavior from other pets and enjoy the company. My two year old basset is very very friendly and loves to play, the 5 year old beagle loves to run and be close to dogs but is more distant than the basset and just loves the company. I look forward to taking care of your pups! I’m currently watching dogs from home full time so my schedule is tailored to your dog and their needs. I never leave our dogs alone for more than 4 hours and you can expect the same while I am watching your furry friends! I live on 3 acres along with living in a peaceful neighborhood so if your dog is use to getting walks every day, I can do that. If your dog is a lazy bones and just wants to hang out we’ve got space to do that too. They will get plenty of attention and be treated like my own.
