Top rated Shields doggy day care sitters

“Kathy is amazing. Isabel can be timid when she goes to a new place, but she walked into Kathy's like she lived there. Made it much easier to leave my fur baby for daycare.”


“Erin was wonderful with Zoe. Zoe had a great time playing with some other dogs and enjoying her walks along lovely tree covered sidewalks. I couldn’t have found a better place for Zoe to spend her day”


“Jennifer was awesome as always. This was our second time using her services. She is great with communication and she tired our puppies out with walks, playtime with other dogs, and just giving them so much love. She really treats them like family. She is great at reading dog behavior and she goes above and beyond meeting thier needs. We will definitely be our first choice anytime we need someone to watch our pups!”


“Blythe was very accommodating. She took us as a fairly last minute booking since we had a funeral and my previous sitter had just moved away. My pickup estimate was off and she was kind enough to keep Grokii an hour or two longer than expected even though it coincided with putting her kids to bed. Her kids are absolutely adorable and I know Grokii was doted on because he slept almost the entire next day. Great family - highly recommend!”


“Jennifer and her family were wonderful with Loki. He can be very timid and they allowed us to come for a "Meet & Greet" the day before our stay, which helped him be more comfortable. Thanks for the photos and the care you gave to Loki during his stay. We will be back again:)”


About: I’ve taken care of a senior cat who had special littler box, medicine, and feeding needs. My family has also relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their small dogs for over 5 years! I love being an auntie to a red toy poodle! I currently work full time from home, allowing care at most times throughout the day! I also am commonly at home during week nights, and enjoy many at home hobbies including playing the piano, reading, knitting, and crocheting, which all make me a homebody! I have a large back yard and live in a neighborhood that is very friendly for dog walking! My home is all vinyl flooring and one level.

About: Hi there! I'm an experienced pet care professional with years in the industry — including managing a busy pet resort — and I would be thrilled to care for your furry family members! Your pets will enjoy a cozy stay in my home, with access to the entire home, complete with a dedicated “dog room," cameras in every room of the home for 24/7 surveillance and a large 6-foot privacy-fenced backyard for safe outdoor play. I’m Pet CPR Certified and a Fear Free Certified Professional, trained to recognize and respond to signs of fear, stress, and anxiety in pets. I provide a peaceful, low-stress environment where your pet can feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments — including seniors, shy pets, high-energy dogs, and those with anxiety or aggression. I'm also comfortable giving: -Pills and tablets -Injections (including insulin) -Inhalers and specialized care ✅ Dual Insured: I carry private pet care insurance in addition to Rover’s protection, so you can feel 100% confident that your pet is in safe, reliable hands. 🩺 Vaccination Requirements: Dogs: Rabies, Distemper (DHPP), Bordetella Cats: Rabies, Distemper (FVRCP) Puppies/Kittens: Must be current on age-appropriate vaccines I highly recommend flea/tick/dewormer prevention for all pets. Please upload or send a clear photo of your pet’s vaccination records when requesting a booking. To keep things safe and low-stress for everyone, I do board multiple dogs at a time and have a few requirements in place: ✅ Dogs must be: Crate trained (see below for details) Up to date on Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella vaccines Why crate training matters: I use crates for short, structured times—like during meals or if I need to step out of the home briefly. It’s a key safety practice that allows me to separate dogs calmly, securely and safely when needed. Each dog has their own designated crate space during these short periods, made to feel cozy and familiar. Private boarding option available: If you’d prefer your dog to be the only guest during their stay, I offer the option to book a private retreat—meaning no other dogs will be scheduled at the same time. To reserve the space exclusively for your pet, you’ll need to book all (4) available boarding spots for those dates, as this ensures I can block off my calendar to honor your request. This is ideal for dogs who prefer more one-on-one attention or a quieter setting.


“Michelle was very accommodating! She came and picked Hank up for me even though it was quite a bit out of her way. I feel confident Hank had a lot of fun at her house by the pictures she sent of him and one of her children playing together!”


“I'm SO thankful to Lynda for watching my big, anxious boy! I was in town camping at bay City with my dog and friends and realized the weather was far too hot for him to be outside all day so I found Lynda last minute to take Atlas during the day when it was the hottest and she accomadated my last minute request! My Atlas can be skiddish and anxious easily and he ended up having a fantastic time I was so pleased and it was such a weight off my shoulders to know he was well taken care of! She sent pictures, videos and updates the whole time. Highly recommend!”

“Henry's stay with Vickie was the first time we used Dog Vacay. I was a bit nervous and apprehensive leaving my boy for the day with a stranger. From the minute Vickie came out to greet us I knew Henry was going to be well taken care!!! She has a very calm and easy going personality that I really liked. She had Henry come in and she brought her dogs in one at a time to meet Henry to see how they would do together. Then we went outside to show him the back yard and to meet another dog that was staying there. I felt great with no concerns about leaving Henry in Vickie's care. Henry had a great time there and slept like a baby when we got home. Thanks for taking good care of our Henry Vickie.”


About: I have taken care of and owned dogs for over 14 years. I have cared for a wide age range of dogs from puppy to elderly dogs. I am a stay at home mom who is available all day to care for your pet and show them the love and affection they need. I provide round the clock care for your dog and take frequent walks. Our yard is not currently fenced in but we have a tie out that allows them to spend time outdoors safely as well as frequent walks for exercise. I always introduce the animals one at a time and never leave them alone together.

About: Come from a family of dog trainers, vets, and doctors. Currently a stay at home student with lots of free time. I have a fenced in back yard and a park located a few hundred feet away from me. Have connections for any dog health needs including vet advice. I Love dogs of all kinds and look forward to working with the dog community. Because of my student Status, I am able to attend to your dogs every need. I am able to walk, play, and care for your dogs all day as needed. Currently, I have two cats. However, they have they’re own room upstairs and if needed, can be put up. If you have any concerns or questions, don’t hesitate to ask. Thank you.

About: I've had pets my entire life! Dogs, Cats, fish hermit crabs, small animals, reptiles. I've had them all! I currently walk my neighbors dogs around the neighborhood! I'm comfortable with all sizes of dogs! I'm currently a stay at home parent so it's just me and occasionally my husband while the kids are at school! The kids walk to and from school so I don't even have to leave the house! While my yard is not fenced in right now, it is on our home improvement list! I'd say it's partially fenced currently, a storm pulled down some panels but your dog would never be left unsupervised! Dogs would have full access to any furniture they want to cuddle up on, and can be crated if that's what you prefer for them at nighttime or times I'm out of the home.

“Jaiden did amazing with my pup. She kept her for two 12hr days. My pup was very happy. She sent me pictures as the day went on and treated my baby like one of her own. I would definitely recommend her! Thank you so much”


About: I have always had fit babies growing up and love them all. Why leave them alone when they can have someone to play with all day I am unemployed right now so I have all the time to focus on caring for your fur babies. It's better for them to be entertained than to be caged out tripping up your home.... Right. I have a fenced in yard. Plenty of toys.... And a friendly little boxer who loves me friends. Oh and she also has a human sister too 😂.

Kaleigh J.
“Don’t hesitate to book your pet care with Kaleigh! She is punctual, reliable, dependable, and communicative. I was so nervous to leave my toy poodle puppy for the first time, and Kaleigh put myself and my pup at ease! Her house was immaculate and pet friendly. She exceeded all of my expectations, sent me endless pictures and videos, and followed my pup’s preferences/routine without issues. She honored my request to not use a crate and had no problem with using puppy pads. She took my girl on walks, snapped some pics while they cuddled, and gave her all the love! My puppy came back happy and healthy as can be, and I think it’s Kaleigh’s playful energy. I couldn’t be more thankful for the excellent care Kaleigh has provided, and I will continue to trust her with my baby in the future. Thank you Kaleigh! (Rusti was so excited and spun in circles when I said your name, haha)”

Jessica S.
“After seeing Jessica's background we decided to book her for drop in visits for our elder Pomeranian who can get aggressive towards new people. Jessica has done great with him and we are very satisfied with how well Buster does with her compared to other sitters we have had in the past.”
