Doggy Day Care Saint Joseph

“Our dog had a great time at Matt's. We were in town just for half of the day and happy to find a place for our dog to enjoy herself with other dogs. We received pictures and a video while she was there. She was tired and slept really well that night. Matt was friendly, easy to talk and communicate with. We would definitely book again with Matt if we are ever in his area again.”

“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.”

“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.”

“It was the first time using this app and the first time our pup has been away from us (except when at the vet’s) and I couldn’t be any happier with the experience! Alex and his dog Reggie took great care of our 10 month old. She was a little nervous at first and it showed. That didn’t stop Alex from confidently taking her leash and walking her over to meet Reggie. She calmed immediately around Alex and in less than a minute was playing with Reggie. I’m so glad we found someone as experienced around dogs of various personalities and temperaments as Alex is. He sent a couple pics, too. All around fantastic experience!!”

“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!”

About: TLDR - I have experience with many types of pets with varying needs. I have two kids (ages 12 and 14) and many other creatures in the home. I am available for drops ins and walks, but longer term engagements would have to be at my home. I have a fully fenced yard and can welcome a dog to come stay in my home. Having grown up with dogs and cats, I am passionate about good animals care and will totally fangirl over your critter. I have previous obedience training experience and have taken three dogs to state for obedience competition. I have house trained many puppies, so I'm happy to support an owner in the trenches of the puppy years. I am available for weekend visits and walks every day. Over the years, I have cared for dogs and cats with varying medical and behavioral needs. From cats needing injections to highly reactive dogs neesing a calm presence, I have expertly cared for them all. I have two daughters, aged 12 and 14, who have lived their life around pets of all sorts and love to come with me when I am visiting a dog or cat. If you are not comfortable having them in your home, or your pet is not comfortable with kids, that is totally understandable. I am self-employed, so my schedule is flexible to allow to fit pet care into my schedule. I have a car so I am able to travel outside of my immediate neighborhood for pet care or house sitting. In my own home I have a fully fenced yard and space to run around. When I am out of the home I kennel my own dog, who has anxiety and that helps her feel more secure. My cats enjoy a fully enclosed catio in the back yard. I am cery careful to have dogs fully leashed before heading out the door to prevent any running into the street. I keep an eye on anything in a home that might cause injury to a pet.

“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. ?”

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

“I left my dog with Brianna while I was sightseeing and everything went well! I really appreciated Brianna’s conscientiousness when it came to an intro and learning everything about my dog; she has a lot of knowledge but is also eager to learn specifics that will make your dog feel comfortable. She sent updates and let me know what was happening throughout the day. I would absolutely use Brianna again if I’m in the area!”

“We have used other Day Care Sitters and Daniel J is by far the very best. Our doggie Otis can't wait to spend time with Daniel J and his loving care! I highly recommend Daniel J”

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.

“Thanks Roxanne you were always calm, flexible and easy to work with. I would not recommend for smaller dogs. Our pup went 2 days and came back both days a bit overwhelmed, exhausted and especially on day 2 he was stinky and scratched up. As a one year old he may not have been able to hold his own with the larger older dogs. It seems to be a great place for larger dogs, but even my 80lb Ridgeback was overwhelmed and may have been out muscled. He tends to play hard and get clumsy. Will certainly consider in the future for booking.”

“Vanessa was great taking care of Remi my 8 month old pup! I needed a sitter last minute and Vanessa got me booked right away with no problems, I really appreciated that.”

“Andre took the time to make sure our dogs would be a good fit together and the experience with handling large dogs was very evident. I highly recommend and will book again.”

“I wanted to write another review because Melani continues to go above and beyond in every possible way. After many more stays, I can honestly say she is one of those rare people you feel incredibly lucky to find. My dog does not just enjoy being with her, he genuinely lights up when he sees her, which says everything. Melani is not only dependable and communicative, but she is also so thoughtful and intuitive when it comes to my dog’s needs. She pays attention to the little things, keeps me consistently updated, and always makes sure he feels loved, safe, and comfortable. It gives me total peace of mind knowing he is in such capable and caring hands. She has become such an important part of our routine, and I truly cannot imagine trusting anyone else the way I trust her. If you are considering Melani, do not hesitate, she is everything you could hope for and more. The full package!”

About: I have 10 years of specific dog care experience—from the puppy stage through the senior years. I understand that different ages and breeds need differing levels of energy and respond in kind. I know how important it is for your pup to feel safe and calm but also know how to let them let loose and have fun/playtime! I adore dogs and can’t wait to help care for your fur baby for you. I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is fairly open. I can work in walks, visits, and feedings for your pup(s) as it works for you. I also have a fenced in back yard, and can offer day boarding as needed, so your fur baby will have access to space to run and play while staying safe. Happy to also offer short term boarding or in (your) home care for times when you are out of town. Based on your needs, I can keep your pet here at my home where I have a fenced in yard, and can also crate your pet, if that is something they are used to. On walks, I will always keep your pet leashed and will offer a calm and gentle environment at all times while they are in my home. If your needs require me to be in your home, I will follow any and all guidelines pertaining to your space.

“My little dog Clara absolutely adores Susan and Ian and their two big dogs. They have such a wonderful dynamic with their intelligent, energetic dogs, and it melts my heart to see Clara be welcomed into their pack. She comes home so happy and tired from a full day of exercise, play, affection, and relaxing among her favorite spots. Their pickup add-on is really wonderful, and Clara gets so excited when she realizes it's time to go have fun with Baz and Ruby! It is so special to see my little dog and other new friends in daycare all confidently playing together. Every daycare dog she's met with them has been an immediate friend--not always what you expect with a chihuahua away from mom and home--and that speaks to how thoughtfully Susan and Ian manage the group. They have a real gift for understanding different dogs so that they feel comfortable, safe, and included. I trust them completely with Clara and couldn't recommend them more highly.”

About: I’ve had a dog my whole life (Fritz and Sam, Buffy the vampire slayer and most recently Bella). We have enjoyed dog sitting since our last pup Bella passed in March 2022. I have recently changed my hours to part time at work, allowing more time to reactivate my rover account to meet new pups. I currently work part time, mostly from home. I often have pups sitting at my feet while working. Exercise or walks can be expected for lunch time breaks! While home, you can expect walks, play time and many cuddles from my family. My kids are not left unsupervised with a dog(s) from rover. We have fully fenced yard with a grassy area. We are located in a great neighborhood and surrounding area and have many great walking spots.
