Doggy Day Care Saint Joseph

“Our German Shepherd is absolutely thrilled when we tell him we are going to Matt's! It's one of his favorites communications! That right there says a lot about Matt. From the human perspective, he goes above and beyond. He has helped us in emergency situations, and on holiday weekends, with a crazy wedding schedule. We are grateful for Matt and his remarkable gift of working with dogs!”

“Penny had a great day with Christina! During the day, Christina sent me photos of Penny and updates on how she was settling in and getting on with her family furry friends. Christina is super friendly and a great communicator. I felt totally at ease leaving Penny with her.”

“I’m super happy with my experience with Alex and his daycare. My six month old puppy spent the afternoon with him and his other pups and did really well. I was nervous because it was our first time and Atlas is a smaller breed but he warmed up in no time! Alex sent pictures and was easy to talk to. I’ll definitely be being Atlas back!”

“Megan did a great job sitting with Duke in our house and kept in touch during her stay with texts and photos. We are planning a trip later and will use Megan again for house sitting.”

About: If you’re looking for a safe, loving place for your dog while you’re away, I’d love to help! I grew up surrounded by animals on a Japanese maple farm with over 20 horses and lots of dogs, both indoor and working dogs, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and training backgrounds. I am a student and only have one in-person class this term, giving me lots of availability for quality time with your pup! I live in a cute, quiet neighborhood near a park and walking trail, and I usually go for walks in the mornings and a couple miles before dinner when my partner comes home from work (weather permitting). I’d happily bring your dog along for those little adventures so they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and stimulation. I believe mental and physical exercise is very important for all breeds! After walks and a lot of playing, I make sure to keep track of any supplements and food schedules needed (usually by setting reminders and alarms on my phone) I also know how important peace of mind is while you’re away, so I like to send regular updates and photos so you can see how your pup is doing. If you have any questions or want to chat about your dog’s specific needs, feel free to reach out. I’d love to meet you both!

“Lauren was great! She was flexible & accommodating, loved on our Tucker dog, who can have high separation anxiety, and communicated with us through the day to let us know how he was doing and to verify any concerns. It was a blessing to have her watch him for the day, allowing him to join us on this trip but to know he was in good hands while we completed activities he could not join us for. We would definitely use Lauren again!”

“Heavenly was great! She kept Sandy safe and comfortable and even took her for a walk.”

“We were happy to find a good day sitter for Duke so close to us. Very friendly folks walked Duke and took good care. Doug and Judy”

“This was my first time using Tawyna & John P "Clay" for doggy day care, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. Clay was professional from the start and always prompt in responding to my questions, which I really appreciated. When we arrived, he took the time to give me a tour and patiently answered all of my questions. The multiple levels of fenced kennel runs with bark chips were very well done, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing that both of my Weimaraners were safe and secure. Most importantly, my dogs had a great time! They came home happy and happily worn out at the end of the day, which says everything. I’m so thankful for the care Clay provided and would absolutely recommend him to others looking for a safe, well-run place for their dogs.”

“Jill is amazing! She communicated with me all day on how my girl was doing plus sent pictures. Nova was all tired out and relaxed for our trip back home to Bend.”

“Chloe and her family took great care of our pup when we were in town for a softball tournament. She was really flexible in accommodating our last minute game schedules for drop off and pick up. ?”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole entire life, a dog is a man’s best friend in my opinion. I currently got a 2.5 yr old English bulldog! His name is Wu-Tang😎 I’ve taken care of a lot of Frenchie’s for Crown bully farms, and still currently am. I would be available almost everyday, to walk feed or “dog sit” I am available M-F and Saturday.. get in contact with me for more information, TIA. I have a fenced yard at home, and there would be plenty of water for dogs outside. And will only feed dogs food that is provided for them..

About: If your dog loves walks, attention, and being treated like absolute royalty… we’re going to get along great 🐾 I’ve been dog sitting for over a decade, and at this point it’s less of a job and more of a personality trait. I walk my own dog three times a day (yes, we’re that kind of household), and I genuinely can’t wait to add your pup to the routine! I’m fully that girl who has to stop and say hi to every cute dog I pass—and by the end of it, we’re best friends. So just know: your dog is not getting casual care… they’re getting full-on obsession. Your doggo will get plenty of walks, love, cuddles, attention, and playtime from me and my sweet girl Sparrow. Think of it as a little vacation where they’re the main character 💁‍♀️ Can’t wait to meet your pup and become their new favorite human (besides you of course!) I work 8-5p M-F but work from home 3 days a week and have availability to walk early mornings, evenings, and during my lunch breaks! My weekends are typically very free and are usually filled with park visits and walks! I treat other dogs just like they are my own, and my girl is treated like an absolute queen! I make sure doors are securely closed, that anything potentially harmful is stored away, and always take weather into consideration when walking (if it’s over 80 degrees out, I will provide boots to ensure that pups don’t get their paws burned!) I make sure to bring water and poop bags and will always communicate if something seems off.

“Hannah was great. She was very flexible and punctual and cared for our pup well. It was nice knowing our dog got to enjoy farm life. She even washed him when he got muddy. Very kind.”

About: We have taken care of many friends and families dogs over the years, small and large breeds. We've helped potty train puppies. We have had great success teaching them great tricks, such as sit/lay/wait/shake/whisper/etc. We are a newly empty nest home, very adventurous and outdoorsy. Taking your fur baby on hikes and long walks, playing at the park and enjoying our fenced in backyard. We are newly emptynesters, as both our boys are away at college. Dad works full time, Mom was a full time Mommy until the boys moved off to College. We lost our Yorker a few years back, but we were in a phase of life that kept us too busy for a new fur baby. But now that the boys are off to college and life has settled down some, we’ve talked about the possibility of bringing in a new dog to the family. Dad wants a new dog now, Mom wants to make sure it’s the right time first. So as a compromise, we want to care for and love your pets while you are away. On occasion, the college boys will be home to love on your fur babies as well. We are a very active couple, we love the outdoors. We'd love to have your dogs along for the fun! We cannot watch cats in our home, but are happy to do drop in visits in your home to play with and care for them. We do accept dogs in our home for care. We have a fenced in backyard for lots of playtime, and fields and parks nearby for longer walks and play. We currently have two cats, so your dog must do well with cats to stay in our home. We can also do daily or multi daily check ins on pets in your home (sorry, no housesitting/staying over in your home). We will play with them, cuddle with them, feed/water, clean litter boxes and make sure they are happy and safe in the comfort of their own home. Whether our home or yours, you can trust that your fur babies will be happy and safe in our care while you are away.

“Alexis and Jacob watched Baja for the first time and it was a total success! Baja is very sweet but can be a handful and so we were pretty picky about who could take the reins after her last sitter moved. Based on the friendliness, competence, reliability, and great communication we experienced with Alexis and Jacob, we’re thrilled to have a new loving and safe place for Baja to stay when we’re gone.”

About: Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets for nearly two decades. My attention to detail never goes unnoticed and I am confident in my abilities to comfort your pet(s) by making them feel special and safe! I have experience with all kinds of creatures — dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents/ferrets, fish, and waterfowl, at all stages of life. Yes, even your beloved seniors. I’m a parent/caregiver to a child with disabilities and while that does not affect my ability to care for animals, it can limit some of my time due to my child’s day-to-day needs, appointments, etc. I update my calendar accordingly to reflect my availability. With that said, most of our appointments are virtual or in-home and I am a stay at home mom so I still have plenty of time for pet care. I have a large fenced in yard for dogs and I am always nearby supervising. I allow pets on furniture and treat them just like my own when I’m watching pets in my home. Instructions regarding potty breaks, feeding, kennel time, medications, etc., are always followed if given.

“Paula was absolutely wonderful with our puppy Tula. She is experienced, kind and gentle. Very knowledgeable and creates fun environment for our playful puppy.”

“Overall, Roxanne continuously communicated with us, and shared lots of pictures of Ripley during her stay. She was extra careful with introduction to other dogs, and overall our little Ripley seemed happy when we picked her up.”
