Doggy Day Care Scio

“We dropped Olive with Caroline for the day while we tailgated and attended the Michigan game. Caroline was communicative and flexible with our timing. Olive had such a wonderful time playing with the pups, she slept the whole next day!!”

“Paula took such wonderful care of our dog Mozzie. We cannot recommend her enough. We rarely leave him with anyone due to his separation anxiety issues but she was awesome helping him adjust and feel comfortable. We were thrilled to find such a caring and thoughtful pet sitter. Paula was also very helpful when we needed to pick Mozzie up at a different time than originally scheduled and she was kind enough to reassure us that he was adjusting well. She took him out for long walks and sent pictures early in his stay. We would have Paula watch our dog again in a heartbeat!”

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for years and genuinely love caring for animals. I currently have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone trustworthy, attentive, and patient. I’m especially attentive to dogs’ comfort levels, routines, energy, and emotional needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or just consistency and calm energy, I adapt to what helps them feel safe and cared for. I have experience with: • Daily walks and exercise • Senior dog patience and slower-paced care • Administering routines and medications if needed • Dogs with anxiety or overstimulation • Maintaining structured feeding and potty schedules • Providing frequent updates and communication I work from home frequently and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide focused attention and supervision. I treat pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own dog. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy building pet care into my daily routine. I’m active, enjoy walks and outdoor time, and naturally structure my day around consistency and attentiveness. Because I have a dog of my own, caring for pets is already part of my everyday life, including walks, feeding routines, playtime, comfort, and making sure pets feel safe and settled. I’m home frequently and able to provide regular supervision, attention, potty breaks, and updates throughout the day. I believe pets do best when they feel safe, calm, and comfortable, so I try to maintain consistent routines and pay close attention to their individual personalities and needs. In my home, I provide a clean, quiet, and relaxed environment with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervision. I’m mindful of overstimulation and always make sure pets have space to rest and decompress if needed. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s established routines as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, crate preferences, and house rules. I also understand how important communication is, so I provide regular updates and photos to help owners feel at ease while they’re away. Safety, attentiveness, and trust are extremely important to me, and I care for pets with the same level of responsibility and compassion I would want for my own dog.

“Mariana is awesome. Took lots of cute photos and took my dog for plenty of walks :)”

About: I've done pet sitting/dog walking for over 4 years now. I work from home so I am available to them all day. I live in a spacious apartment with a huge nature scene surrounding it. I have a vast range of experience with animals. I myself have three animals (a rescue kitten, a working line German Shepherd, and an Australian Shepherd) none of whom will be present when I am taking care of your animals (either during the day or overnight). I am worked on in depth training with both of my dogs and can carry on any training/exercise routines you have set for your pets. I’m not a professional trainer, but I’ve worked on training with my own dogs for years and am happy to help continue the training and routines you’re already working on. I’m currently working from home, so I can be flexible and shift my schedule to what works best for your pet. Whether your dog needs three walks a day, some playtime and exercise, or simply someone to sit and snuggle with on the couch, I’m happy to give them the care and attention they need. I live in a puppy and kitten proofed apartment, with things like outlet covers and other safety measures in place. My building is surrounded by nature, with a large yard right out front and a lake nearby, making it a great environment for pets to get some fresh air and enjoy the outdoors.

“Shannon and her family are fantastic! Sasha had a busy and fun-filled day, and came home the best kind of tuckered out. Sasha is counting days til her next stay. Thank you!!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child and have a dog of my own currently!(for 2 years) I’m experienced with daily routines, feeding, walking, playtime, and providing loving, attentive care :) I’m currently in school right now studying music therapy! I have a lot of free time on my end for same day scheduling or last minute! There are two dog parks in my complex that I stay in, as well as parks and nature walks! I also have a dog crate if needed!

“Mya is very responsive, my dog had a good time with her!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life since I was born. I have lived with dogs of all sizes, big and small, and I understand how each one has its own personality and needs. Today I have two dachshunds back in Brazil, who are basically my kids. Unfortunately I was not able to bring them with me to the United States since it was too expensive and I am only staying here for one year, but they are being very well taken care of by my mom. One of the most meaningful caregiving experiences I had was with an elderly dog who could no longer walk on her own. I carried her during walks, gave her medication on schedule, and slept next to her every night. That taught me real patience and dedication when it comes to caring for a dog with extra needs. I do not have professional pet sitting experience yet, but I have a lifetime of real, hands on experience living with dogs, plenty of love to give, and a genuine commitment to caring for your pet the same way I care for my own. I work from home and have a fully flexible schedule, since my job only requires my computer and I can work from anywhere. The only fixed commitment I have is one gym session a day. This means I have plenty of availability throughout the day and evening for drop-in visits and overnight stays at my clients' homes. I focus on drop-in visits and overnight stays at the client's home, where I can give the dog full attention in their own environment. I make sure they get their walks, meals, and medication (if needed) on schedule, plenty of playtime and affection, and a calm, comfortable routine while their owners are away. For overnights, I stay the whole night so the dog is never alone and keeps their normal sense of security.

About: I have 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including puppies and seniors! Over the years, I’ve cared for pets belonging to family, friends, neighbors, and my own private clients, as well as working professionally with a pet-sitting company. Through these experiences, I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs with all kinds of personalities, routines, and individual needs. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and understand that they may need extra patience, gentleness, and attention. Whether that means taking a slower walk, enjoying some fresh air in a stroller, administering medication, or simply keeping them company, I’m always happy to accommodate their needs. As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pup. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, routine, and preferences so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Your fur babies will always be treated with the same love, patience, and care I give my own!!! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! Along with pet sitting, I also babysit part-time, which allows me to maintain a fairly flexible schedule throughout the week and on weekends. As a dog mom myself, I'm already used to planning my days around walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love and attention! I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I do my best to accommodate each pet's needs and maintain their normal routine, so they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while their family is away. I always make sure I have the time and availability to give every pet the attention and care they deserve! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, and I want you to feel confident knowing they're in loving hands. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where they feel like part of the family. Although I don't have a fenced-in yard, I make up for it with multiple walks throughout the day, plenty of fresh air, playtime, and lots of love and attention! Dogs are always kept on a leash when outside to ensure their safety. I also have a dog of my own, Theo, who can stay with my family during stays if needed. When caring for pet in their own homes, I always respect their space and do my best to maintain their usual routines. Whether that's following specific feeding instructions, taking their favorite walking route, or simply give them a little extra reassurance, I want them to feel as comfortable and secure as possible. I also love sending pictures and updates throughout our time together! I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy, safe, and being well care for while you're away. My goal is to give every pet the same love, patience, and kindness I would want for my own!

“Stephanie was great! Super friendly and timely. We really appreciated the pick up/drop off option. We can tell our pup had a great time and was well cared for. 100% will be going back the next time we need someone to watch Finn!”

“Taylor was great. She always kept in touch with updates and pictures. I would 100 percent recommend Taylor for your pet sitting needs.”

“Debbie is wonderful! Her and her husband were great with communication and sending pics of our pups everyday! They were also very well equipped with a fenced in yard among other dog supplies. Their dogs were very friendly and we felt good about leaving our fur babies in their care! Highly recommend!!”
