Doggy Day Care in Saint Francis

“Lotte gets along great with Katrina’s dogs and Katrina is wonderful with her and communicates regularly to let us know how who she is doing. We’re thankful to find someone who can watch her regularly.”

Adam & Katie C.

“Libby LOVES going to Elba's to play! It is such a relief knowing our sweet girl is being taken care of so well, and that it is such a positive experience for her. Libby's high energy is handled so well by Elba, and I know this because she literally is out like a light for the rest of the day after we come home.”

Beth C.

“Amy was fantastic! She was kind enough to pick up my last minute request and definitely showed Elliot lots of love during his time with her. Great communication and would definitely book with Amy again!”

Caitlin T.

“Markie and Logan came home smiling and tired, which is really all I ask. they had a blast playing with all of the other dogs, and Logan didn't want to come inside from Joe's back yard!”

Alicia C.

“Logan loves spending time with Katie! He was so excited to see her, and she always does a great job keeping him entertained and tiring him out!”

Alicia C.

“We were looking for a dog boarder for an upcoming vacation nd decided to do a test run with Katrina. Our experience was fantastic! Katrina was easy to coordinate with. Is great with communication and updates during the visit. Our dog has separation anxiety, so she was more of a challenge but Katrina had her relaxed and napping in a couple hours. Looks like we have definitely found our go to for boarding!”

“Lillian is SO amazing! She has watched my 8 month old Berner puppy and he’s so always happy to go over there. She always sends pictures and videos, and each time my pup looks SO happy and comfortable. Totally recommend her to anyone and will most definitely use her in the future. 😊”

Marissa T.

“Wendy is the absolute best! Professional, always gives so much love to my Dexter and all her other doggie pals that come over. She gives plenty updates and pictures to assure you that your fur baby is having the time of his his/her life! She’s the best and so friendly and loving. Safety is a big concern of mine. As I’m an over protective dog mom. Quality 10/10 safety 10/10 communication 10/10 and flexibility with scheduling 10/10.”

Brittany T.

“Dan didn't mind my early drop off and definitely spoiled my puppy. He sent lots of pictures and gave great updates throughout the day. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.”

About: Frequent walker that would be happy to have a dog join. I also have a backyard that I maintain all of the time for use. I work remote so will always be able to be responsive when sitting. Also have a 700+ day 10,000 step streak so doing lots of walking currently! Handle and escalate and concerns to owner when appropriate and I feel any sorts of hesitations. Thoughtfully, decisively, and neutrally investigate Trust & Safety cases with high complexity and high sensitivity while maintaining customer satisfaction! As a reminder I do not have a fenced in yard so all outside time will be through walks!

“Dean is an awesome dog sitter! We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with him for the night! Dean made sure to send updates and pictures! Our dog had so much fun with Dean and his resident pup! We would be happy to book him again!”

Maria K.

“Kait was so wonderful! Penelope is still a puppy and learning a lot and Kait was patient with her and very communicative with me. I appreciated the photos and updates throughout the day. Kait was also very flexible with my schedule which was much appreciated. Would definitely recommend!”

Lucy M.

“Kristy watched our dog, Beau for several doggy day care visits. She accommodated our early drop offs, and was great at communicating with us through the app. We felt comfortable leaving our dog with her as she had a calm personality and her house was dog-friendly. We're happy Beau had Cooper for company!”

Yi-Lee T.

“My dog is afraid of cats and they still accepted him in and were very patient with him! Wonderful people and an all around wonderful experience ❤️”

About: I've been training and caring for dogs, and various other animals, since I was a teenager. I started doing dog obedience and agility at 13 years old for fun. I worked in law enforcement for 12 years, and then became a professional dog trainer. I'm registered with the AKC as a CGC Evaluator # 109451 and also a APDT Member # 108298. I know dog and small mammal CPR, and first aid. I have a separate kennel room in my home for dogs, and small animals where my own dogs and bunny stay. Each dog has their own kennel to eat and sleep in. The backyard is quarter acre and is fully fenced and the dogs can run and play together. I have pet care insurance that covers training and boarding animals. I work full-time as a dog trainer, focusing primarily on board and train dogs. This means the dogs start at my home while I train them which I'm turn gives me a lot of time to focus on the animals that visit. I usually get up and get the day started at 6am, the dogs and I take naps and eat lunch around noon, and the final playtime with bathroom break is at about 10pm All of the animals in my care are treated the same as if they were one of our pets. Those that are child friendly get to come into the upper part of the house where my kids are and play with them. Those that aren't as interested in kids have access to my training room and kennel room which are kid free zones. All of the dogs get a chance to play in the fenced in yard. Those dogs that I have trained previously get mini refresher training throughout the day. Cats and other small animals are given individual care based on what they need. All of the cats and dogs that come into my home must be fully vaccinated, with recent negative fecal testing.

“Luscely was available last minute and didn't make me jump through hoops to dogsit. She was communicative, fair, and my dog was happy. I will absolutely use her again!”

Erin P.

“Bernice is great! I’d recommend her to anyone. My dogs love going there. She provides great communication and has been flexible when things come up.”

“I am so happy that I found Kathy. I knew my Benny had not been happy at a large daycare facility because he began putting on the brakes to go in the door. After a meet and great Benny couldn't wait to go in Kathy's house and when I came to pick him up he acted like he wanted to stay. Kathy updated me throught the day with pictures and even a short video. Benny loved playing with Kathy's little dog and she had his favorite kind of bone to chew on. It's obvious that Kathy loves dogs and gives them plenty of love, attention and lap time snuggles.”

About: I owned a dog growing up and cared for and trained one with my family. I sit for friends and family from time to time and I love to play and take dogs for walks and, if they are able, runs of up to a few miles! I have a fenced in yard, and my kids (4, 8) are also great with animals. I work from home. With the exception of rare travel days, school drop-offs, and evening events, I will always be around the house to care for your pup. Your pet will get the attention it needs, as I work from home and I have a fenced in yard, as well as young boys that are great with animals. Frequent outside visits and play times are very doable.

“Julia and her family was very kind to me and Joker. They took care of Joker all day sending me pictures and videos and explaining how he was doing. Joker was happy in her house and I am sure we will contact her in the future.”
