Doggy Day Care in South Prairie

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years my own, my family’s, and friends’. I’ve walked and cared for rescues, puppies, seniors, and dogs with big personalities. I currently have a well-behaved rescue dog and previously had a Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix and a Siberian Husky, so I’m confident with both large and small breeds. I’ve also cared for multiple family members’ and friends’ dogs in my home or theirs, including Samoyeds, Chiweenies, Pomskys, Great Pyrenees, Pitbull mixes and more. I understand dogs deeply, and I know how to help them feel comfortable, cared for, and at home whether I’m walking them, house-sitting, or boarding them with me. I’m currently not working and have a very open schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I walk my own rescue dog Jax every day, and I genuinely enjoy being outside and staying active. I’ve been looking for meaningful ways to fill my time, and caring for animals is something I love and find personally rewarding. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and can be flexible with timing. I also plan to take a short maternity leave starting late December, but I’m fully available until then and I’ll be back soon after! Your pet’s comfort and safety come first in my home. I have a fully fenced backyard, and my own dog, Jax, is a friendly and submissive rescue who gets along well with all other dogs. My home is pet-friendly, clean, and calm, and I can easily accommodate crate-trained dogs or follow your pup’s specific routine. I also have extensive experience house-sitting and caring for dogs in their own environment, which I know can be comforting for some pets. Whether at my home or yours, I create a space where pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I love keeping dogs active and engaged! For pups who enjoy walks, I take them on fun neighborhood strolls, and if they’re staying at my home, they can enjoy playtime in my fully fenced backyard. I also tailor activities based on the dog’s personality whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, puzzle toys, or just cozy snuggles on the couch. I’m all about making sure your dog feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! And I’ll be sure to send you photos and updates on your pups throughout the day :)

“My senior dog Cody loved staying with Noelle and she took very good care of him and even let him sleep on her couch. I would definitely take Cody to noelle again.”

“She was so understanding with my boy Roman. He is house trained but had an accident. Most likely due to anxiety (only had him 10 days + he's a rescue). But she did not make a big fuss about it and took him on plenty of walks.”

“Quick day trip so I left my boy with Kathie. It was like a much needed spa day for him! Ripley loves going to Kathie’s and I know he’s in great hands with her!”

About: I’ve always had animals in my life—dogs, cats, bunnies, a hamster, frogs… and one unforgettable roommate with ferrets. These days, it’s just me, my dog Tillie, and two backyard chickens, Lucy and Caroline (they run a tight ship). I work from home, so your dog will have company all day—whether they want to nap by my desk, play in the yard, or soak up some love. My partner doesn’t work from home, but when he’s here, he’s everyone’s favorite ball-thrower and treat-giver. Your pup will be treated like part of the family—chicken supervision included. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means your dog won’t be left alone for long, if at all. They’ll get plenty of attention throughout the day—walks, playtime, snuggles, and whatever else makes them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I have a fenced yard, a sweet dog named Tillie, and two backyard chickens. We keep a calm, safe environment for everyone—your dog will be cared for like family.

About: I’ve taken care of neighbors dogs for over 15 years while they are out of town. Not every dog is the same or needs the same amount of care. I work from home so my schedule is really flexible. I can make most requests work for your needs. Being patient with older dogs is not a problem! I have a fully fenced yard. Case by case basis for dogs taken in my home- send me a message and we can figure something out.

“Thank you Roger as always for taking care of Nala! Happy holiday to your family!”

“Excellent daycare experience for our 35 pound mini aussiedoodle. We were in the area for a little local vacation and needed a day sitter while we took our daughter to an event. Keri and Kerry have a fantastic back yard and provided our pup with what appeared to be an enjoyable day. Our pup got along great with their dog Beau and got plenty of activity throughout the day. We’d definitely reach out again if we’re back in the area for a future vacation!”

Exercise and mental play are important to a happy pet, so whether at your house or mine, we make sure to pack in the fun!

“Anna and her husband took fantastic care of my pup! I felt very comfortable leaving him for the day for doggy day care with her. She sent lots of updates of him having a blast during his stay! I would recommend her to anyone, and would book again in the future! Thank you!”

I’ve cared for Bulldogs of all ages, ensuring they feel at home and secure while you’re away. My Daily and Weekly Routine: Embracing Structure with Love for Pets. As a retired Army veteran with 23 years of dedicated service, I thrive on structure and discipline in my daily and weekly routine, which seamlessly integrates my passion for pet care. Here's how I incorporate it all: Daily Routine: Morning Routine: Each day begins with a disciplined morning ritual. I wake up early to enjoy some quiet time, followed by a healthy breakfast. My pets get the first big hug of the day, and we start the morning with a leisurely stroll, giving them the exercise they need while we relish the fresh air. Midday Care: My schedule allows for flexible midday check-ins. Whether it's a short visit to give them love, a treat, or a quick play session, I ensure they feel cherished and engaged during the day. Evening Bonding Time: I dedicate my evenings to quality time with my pets. Whether it's training, playing fetch in the yard, or snuggling on the couch while we unwind, these moments keep our bond strong. Weekly Routine: Regular Outings: We plan weekly adventures, like trips to the dog park or canine-friendly hiking trails. Health Check: I’ve incorporated regular grooming and health checks into my weekly routine, so I can monitor their well-being. Training Sessions: Leveraging my leadership skills, I set aside time each week for training sessions, reinforcing good behavior and commands while keeping their minds engaged. Combining my disciplined approach from my military career with my passion for pet care creates a harmonious routine that ensures every pet under my care receives the love, attention, and structure they deserve. In My Home: As a dedicated pet caretaker, my home is designed to be a safe and nurturing environment for all pets, especially Bulldogs. Here’s how we ensure their well-being: 1.

Daily Check-ins: - I provide regular visits and updates, ensuring pets feel loved and taken care of while their owners are away. - Flexible scheduling allows me to cater to their needs, whether it’s a quiet day at home or an active playdate. 3.

Cleanliness: - I always ensure the home remains tidy, picking up after the pets and maintaining hygiene to prevent any mess while ensuring they feel comfortable. 5. Emergency Preparedness: - As a responsible caretaker, I familiarize myself with emergency contacts, including a local veterinarian, to act swiftly if any unexpected situations arise. --- By adapting my care approach based on the location, I strive to create a seamless, loving experience for pets in both my home and my client's homes. Each pet deserves the utmost attention and care, regardless of where they are, and I am committed to providing that warmth and safety.

About: I have been working with/training dogs & training horses for over 20 years now. Working with animals is always something that has come natural to me & I can't imagine doing anything else. I currently have the most amazing 2 year old Belgium Malinois/GSD. (River) She has taught me so much about life this last year. She's made me a better trainer & continues to push & challenge me to learn more each day. I also have a 1 year old male Cane Corso (Mountain). I've known him since birth & River has been helping me raise him since he was 9 weeks old. He's been the perfect addition to our pack. I started training dogs when I was 13 & I realized I had a natural gift for it. My neighbors growing up would ask me to watch their dog or walk their dogs & I even trained a few of my neighbors dogs. Which is the first time I began to realize this was something I was not only good at but that I LOVED to do. I spent years studying & learning about how dogs learn, behave & interact with each other. I wanted to understand them more. (Their pack instincts & such) All of this research has helped me understand how to teach many different kinds of dogs in all kinds of areas. Training dogs is what I do for a living right now & i work with my own dogs every day and keep them well trained, behaved and ready for any dog friends to come visit. I'm available pretty much 7 days a week. (Give or take) Caring for pets is just something I've always done & I can't imagine myself doing anything else. I have a HUGE fully fenced in back yard. I have an 12 year old amazing boxer/lab who helped train & teach my Malinois how to be a good canine citizen & now they are both continuing to teach my Corso how to be a canine gentleman. So now I have some amazing dogs who do a really good job of welcoming any dog into their home and making them feel right at home.
