Doggy Day Care Sheldon

About: I've cared for all types of pets for around 30 years, and I love them all like family. From babies to seniors, and pets with special needs, I've got you covered. I understand the stress of leaving your loved one in the care of others, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am an emergency veterinarian assistant, trained in pet CPR. Rest assured that their every need will be met with great care. My availability is very flexible, to meet your care needs. If you choose to board in my home, I will always be home with your pet so I can attend to your pet's every need. Your furry, scaled or feathered loved one will never be left unattended. When caring for pets in my home, they will have free roam of the house, but never unattended. I do not use crates (unless specifically requested) and they are free to lounge on furniture and beds. My home is their home! As for caring for your pets in your home, you make the rules and we will stick to them!

“The Best ! We left Fergie with Crystal 2 different days so we could go sight seeing and couldn't be happier with her level of care. The first day Fergie whined a little when we left; the 2nd day she didn't even notice that we left. She loved being with Crystal & we received lots of pictures of their walks & activites. Don't hesitate to allow Crystal to watch your pup. We'll contact her again the next time we're in the Buffalo area. Thanks Crystal !”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always brought me a great deal of joy. Now that I’m retired, I have the time and flexibility to give your dog the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. My home is a calm, welcoming place where your dog can feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family. I understand that every dog is different, with their own personality, routines, and little quirks. I’m happy to follow your instructions and keep your dog’s normal routine as much as possible. Whether your dog loves a good walk, a cozy nap, a little playtime, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll be there to give them plenty of affection and companionship. Most of all, I want you to feel comfortable knowing your furry family is being cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine love. I know how much our dogs meant to us—they truly are family. I would be honored to welcome your dog into my home and treat them as one of my own while you’re away. As a retired caregiver, I’m home all day and can give your pet plenty of attention and companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent care, regular walks and playtime, and plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I enjoy having pets as part of my daily life and take pride in making sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I offer care in your home or at my quiet, dog-free home. For dogs, the day can include daily walks, playtime, fetch, cuddles, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I’m happy to care for puppies through senior dogs and will follow your pet’s normal routine, including meals, medications, and rest time. There are no children or other pets in my home, making it a calm and peaceful environment. My goal is for your pet to feel like part of the family while you’re away!

“Jenn and Brian took great care of our dog, Toast! They were accommodating with our last minute planning, and pick up and drop off were a breeze. If ever in the area, we would definitely bring Toast there again. Thank you!”

About: I have had dogs of every shape, size and disposition for 50 years. I have been fostering rescue dogs for 20 years. I don’t think I will ever not have a dog in my life. I am retired so home pretty much 24/7. I have 2 dogs of my own so am available anytime. I enjoy gardening so prefer to be home. I have a fenced yard with doggie door. I walk the dogs beside giving them free rein in house and yard. I have numerous doggie beds for their comfort along with furniture to sleep on!

About: I pay close attention to each pet’s unique personality and behavior, making sure they always feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or quiet cuddles, I adjust to what your pet needs in the moment. I treat every furry friend like family and make it my priority to give them the same care and attention you would. My intention for every animal I care for is to make sure they are happy, safe, healthy, and loved. 🤍 Since I work part-time, I have plenty of free time to give dogs the attention they deserve. This means I can be flexible with walks, playtime, and drop-ins, and your pup will never feel rushed. I love spending my extra time playing, walking, and bonding with dogs, so they get lots of care and companionship while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. Respect is very important to me, I treat both your home and your animals with the same care I would my own. You can feel confident that your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I always make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and secure, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. 🤍✨

“Vidya was absolutely fantastic, taking care of our dog for the afternoon while we were in town visiting relatives. She was very conscientious and reliable, and provided many updates and photos throughout the afternoon. Highly recommended, we will book her again the next time we are back in town.”

About: I pay close attention to pets as I do children, treating each with love, respect, compassion, and empathy. Sometimes no words are needed, just a scratch under the chin, chest, head, or ears! Other times, fuzzy friends need to be told what a great gift from God they truly are. I love being sensitive to each creature's individual needs, and cherish the special bonds formed while owners entrust me with their forever family friends. Sometimes that means going the extra mile (literally) if furry friends feel like going for a jog, hike, or swim! Thunderstorms can be the worst for some, soft spoken words, songs, and snuggles are my specialty. If a kennel is preferred I’m in full agreeance. I have been animal/house sitting for over a decade and am grateful for each opportunity given to help and serve. I am a stay at home mom with two kids and two fur babies. On weekends, my husband, kiddos (fur babes included), and I spend time in the outdoors, hiking, picnics, walks etc. Our pets and those that we watch are considered family members, therefore have our constant attention, love, and affection! We have an adequate fenced in backyard space for pups to play and enjoy frequent visits to the park. With drop in, checking food and water are on the list along with potty outside, playing ball (or throwing stuffies/ frisbee 🥏) and rubs.

“He’s a great person and a huge animal lover! Apollo loves him and loves playing with the other dogs. I highly recommend Jose for all your pet sitting needs, he’s the best!”

About: I’m a fun, patient, attentive and big-hearted animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for pets. Growing up with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and reptiles, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs. I’ve cared for pets ranging from reptiles and fish, to senior dogs and cats, to puplies and brand new kittens. At 19, I adopted my first dog, a Bull Mastiff, and raised him from a 6-week-old puppy to a 140-pound adult. I’ve also cared for my family’s cats after my mother passed, and I lovingly adopted a 12-year-old Cairn Terrier, providing him with care until his passing at 16.5 years. While I have no formal training, I have a natural ability to train animals with patience and love, always using a firm yet gentle approach. I’m experienced in handling a variety of species, including reptiles like ball pythons and geckos, and have even assisted with rescuing wildlife. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, my diverse experience, and my ability to provide both playful and responsible care. Your pet will feel loved, safe, and well-cared for with me! I live alone, lost the last of my own critters, and am a seasonal traveler. I go to Argentina for a couple months every winter so I can’t responsibly own pets of my own, but I am built to be around them! I need animals in my life so this is as much for me as it is for you. I work remotely so I have a lot of flexibility especially when it comes to sitting or walking from my home or town. I can be very attentive to your animal to whatever fits their comfort level. I am very active so am I game for hikes, walks, and lots of playing, but can also enjoy a nice sit and snuggle with an elderly friend. I live alone so there would be no triggers from children, other animals, etc. once they’re in my house. I live walking distance from several trails and parks. I also love taking dogs for car rides! Whatever they wish. I am very attentive so I ensure your baby will be content and cared for to the best of our ability.

“Kara was wonderful and I highly recommend her. She gave my doggie a great day away and sent lots of cute photos. I think he may have actually been disappointed to go home (lol)!”

“Thank you very much, Rachel, for watching my 10-year old Siberian Husky rescue named Juneau Elizabeth. I know she misses me when we are apart, but your patience and willingness to follow my suggestions helped Juneau relax. I will not hesitate to reach out to you when we require such assistance in the future.”

About: I’ve loved animals since I was a child and always aspired to be a veterinarian. I ended up changing my goal to wanting to open a animal shelter so that I can help out in that way and provide support for homeless animals. I am currently working on achieving that goal. If you allow me to spend time with your pet I promise you that they will receive the best care in my hands! I will treat them like they’re mine and like they’re my babies because I know that that is how most people view their pets and I would want someone to do the same for me and my pets. Thank you in advance for allowing me to take care of your animals! I have open availability as of right now! You can book me any time you need! I hope that I meet every expectation that you have and that you have an amazing day! I care for pets by first showing love and affection! Then by fulfilling whatever needs the pet or the owner has! It’s important for me to get to know your pet so that I be able to do whatever I can for them!
