Doggy Day Care in Smallwood

“First time dog parent. First time Rover app user. So glad Monty & I connected with Raquel. From first point of contact, meet and greet, day one and day two of doggy care was absolutely amazing. Raquel is a genuine, authentic, dog care provider. Communication ✅. Care Expectations Met ✅. Very Responsive✅. Professional✅. Personable✅. She’s passionate about caring for dogs and it is shown through her attentiveness to the well-being of dogs while under her care. Raquel’s sitter etiquette is superb. To see her love on Monty at drop-off and pick up gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was being left in good hands. To make things even better she shared updates via pics and videos throughout the day on each doggy daycare visit. Hands down, we’ll be re-booking Raquel. #RaquelROCKS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I’ve always loved taking care of dogs! When I was younger my family had two dogs: a chihuahua named droopy and a German shepherd named Chico. Having them taught me how to care for dogs of different sizes and needs. When it comes to taking care of puppies and senior dogs, I am always patient and attentive. I am more than happy to take care of your pet! I’m available on weekends and weekdays during the summertime for boarding and day-sitting. I can adhere to any feeding, bathroom, and care schedules or instructions provided. I have fenced yard, so I can take pets for outside time. I am only able to petsit from my house and cannot pickup or drop-off your pets.

“Michael was great with my Rottweiler! My dog had an amazing time and was clearly well cared for. Michael even took extra time to work on some training and taught my dog a couple of tricks, which I really appreciated. He also gave me some helpful advice. I’ll definitely be booking with him again.”

“I like that I was able to take a tour, inside and out, of where my girls would be during daycare. The property was kept clean and well maintained. I appreciated the pictures and updates throughout the day. I had an overall very positive experience and would definitely recommend.”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with a strong background in behavior science. I have professional experience working in applied behavior analysis and I am currently completing my degree in psychology, where I focus on how behavior is shaped through the environment and reinforcement. Dogs have always been a central part of my life. I currently live with three dogs, including high-drive working breeds, so I understand the importance of exercise, structure, and mental engagement. Because of my background in behavior science, I focus on positive reinforcement, clear communication, and creating calm, safe environments for dogs. Whether your dog needs a reliable walk, companionship while you are away, or someone who understands behavior and energy levels, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, engaged, and well cared for. I am especially comfortable with active breeds and dogs that need extra structure or mental stimulation. Services offered may include walks, drop-in visits, and companionship depending on your dog’s needs. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care for pets throughout the day. I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your dog’s needs. Because I manage my own schedule, I can often accommodate last-minute walks or drop-in visits as well. I provide a safe and structured environment for all pets in my care. My home has secure housing and a safely fenced yard where dogs can exercise and explore under supervision. I am attentive to each dog’s comfort level and carefully monitor interactions to ensure everyone remains calm and safe. I also maintain clean conditions by regularly disinfecting surfaces, water bowls, and common areas to help protect the health of the animals in my care.

“This was our first time using Rover and Leigh was an awesome puppy sitter! We will definitely be using her again, it's nice to know our dog is well taken care of if we need to go out of town.”

About: Update: I will not be available May 18-25, and Jun 2-14 I love dogs!! I've fostered many dogs and volunteered at many shelters. I've had seniors and even fostered one with spina bifida. My first two loves were English Bulldogs. I have lots of experience with them and know that smooshy face breeds are much more delicate than other breeds. I absolutly love them! I'm not good with extremely energtic dogs, but can handle anything else. I am semi-retired. I currently work part time on Friday and Sundays with an occasional third day, so I am home a lot. I have plenty of time to devote to your pooch. In my home, I care for your pet just as I care for mine. Of course, with your direction implemented also. I do have a pool, so I will need to know how your dog is around pools, or if they have zero experience with pools, I will need to know that as well.

“I have never used Rover before, but Janece and Matthew put my mind at ease! They did a wonderful job taking care of our two Goldens, including a 4-month-old puppy. Their communication and responsiveness was great, and I enjoyed getting pictures and updates throughout the day. We will definitely book with Janece and Matthew again!”

“Daisy was amazing! I booked her last minute and she was kind enough to squeeze Snoopy in for the day. She kept me updated throughout, which I really appreciated. Snoopy came home happy, worn out, and ready for a nap, so I know he had a great time! I’ll definitely be rebooking with her.”
