Top rated Scotch Ridge doggy day care sitters
“My sometimes anxious blue heeler had never done daycare before, and Savannah and her husband were so great with him! I will definitely reach out to them again if he needs daycare in the future.”
“My dog had a great first daycare experience with Mackenzie and Anthony. He’s had issues with anxiety with sitters in the past, and did very well with them and their 2 dogs. I highly recommend.”
“Heather has been taking care of my pup, Junie for a few weeks. Between her and her two kids, they make sure my girl is well cared for. I never worry about Junie when she is with Heather. Heather even takes her for walks of an evening and drops her off. Heather truly goes above and beyond for my girl! Highly recommend her.”
“Ashley & Oziel we’re so accommodating when I explained that my pup had recently been sick & might still have some issues with vomiting or diarrhea. They sent me a pic in the afternoon & we’re very open to our picking him up whatever time we needed. Would highly recommend this nice, dog loving couple!”
“Jaden has an obvious love for dogs! He is very knowledgeable about handling different breeds and handling them together. Jaden went out of his way to accommodate my schedule as well as my boy Duke's special needs. I wish I never had to be without my bud, but when I do I will leave him with someone like Jaden!”
About: Dogs have always been in my life. I volunteered at Animal Lifeline for 8 years and had a dog daycare of my own for a while. Dogs are everything and I’d be honored to love on yours. I currently work full time but my day ends at 3 pm so I can be that late afternoon or evening potty break or walk. Weekends are definitely doable as well with pre-arranged time and notice. Should your dog(s) stay with me during the day, I have a fenced yard and no carpet in case of oopsies! If you request that I come to your house I am very reliable, responsible and respectful. I can guarantee a boat load of scritches and belly rubs as well as time for “business”.
“I was in DSM for a short trip and needed a last minute sitter for my dog Louie and was so lucky to find Kevin had availability to take him for a whole day. I didn’t have time to do a meet and greet, I just trusted the reviews he already had and they are all on point. From start to finish Kevin was responsive, respectful and responsible with me and my dog. I would trust him over and over if I lived in DSM. Highly recommended!”

About: 👋Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile. From the moment I was born, I’ve had a deep and genuine love for animals, especially dogs. While many of my peers spent their school years babysitting, I was happily focused on dog walking and pet sitting. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve gained hands-on experience volunteering at dog kennels and rescues, learning just how important trust, patience, kindness, and authenticity are when caring for animals. I understand that entrusting someone with your beloved pet can feel daunting, but if you choose me, you can rest assured that I’ll not only build a strong connection with your furry family member, but also with you. Reliability, respect, and attention to detail are at the heart of my approach. I follow your care preferences closely and treat every animal as if they were my own, providing love, safety, and companionship. If you’re looking for a dependable, enthusiastic pet sitter with a lifelong passion for dogs, I’d be honored to care for your pup! I have a very flexible remote work schedule, which allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for your pet. Together, we’ll create a personalized care plan based on your preferences, ensuring your pet stays on the exact routine and schedule you want. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priorities! I own my home and have a large, pet-friendly yard, providing plenty of space for your dog to play and relax. Before any booking, we’ll discuss in detail exactly what you want for your pet’s care, whether it’s sticking to a specific routine, meeting special needs, or just making sure they get all the snuggles and love they deserve. My goal is simple: to keep your pet happy and safe, while giving you complete peace of mind. Snuggles, playtime, and affection are always included!

Megan A.
“Megan does a wonderful job handling other's four legged loved ones. She has over 15 years of experience outside of owning her own pets, from volunteering at a young age at animal shelters to being apart of various rescue organizations today. One attribute that has stood out over time is her natural disposition to sense how an animal is feeling and utilize great, often common sense, instincts on what actions to take to safely handle any situation that maximizes the safety for both her and the animal(s) she is caring for. I wholeheartedly endorse Megan as a walker of all pets. She would do the job safely, beyond standards, and with genuine care.”
