Doggy Day Care in Stewartville

About: You and your fur babies will never have to worry when they’re with me! We can go for walks, runs, visit dog parks, or just hang out and watch a movie! I grew up on a hobby farm with nothing less then 2 dogs in the house at all times! My smallest dog was a Rat Terrier and biggest is a German Shepard. I am a nursing student so I am very organized and ontop of things! I work at Mayo Clinic so my shifts and hours shift depending on the day or week but don’t let that stop you from reaching out! feel free to reach out and ask and we’ll work something out! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies!

“Excellent care. Close to Mayo Clinic. I would love to take my dog back.. Itzayana called to say my dog was barking. Our dog looks at us and barks when she’s hungry at home so she tried that. Then she made a quiet place for my dog to sit by her and my dog got more comfortable there. I appreciate the great communication and sensitivity. Itzayana was attentive and kind and sent pictures and updates. Our dog ran with other dogs in her yard. It was a very good experience.”

About: Hello West Nashville neighbors! I am a mom and resident of Charlotte park who works from home full time and loves to go for a walk with or drop in to see your pup as a break from my day. My husband and I had our own dog until she passed away and, over the years, have also fostered several others and dogsat frequently. I love all dogs and have a special soft spot for pitties and other larger breeds. I typically only take a couple bookings per week, though I make exceptions when I can for repeat customers and for customers who live especially close to us. Feel free to get in touch to learn more about me and how I can support your family. I work full time but have a flexible schedule and can plan to take breaks at multiple points in the day as needed. If a request conflicts with something on my calendar I’ll always check before booking if a slightly later or earlier visit might work with your and your dog’s schedule. I am a very conscientious dog walker and sitter. I clean up after your dog and myself and will always ask if I need to know where you keep poop bags, treats, or towels to clean muddy feet if it’s a rainy day. Feel free to share any special preferences or requests so I can accommodate them.

About: I specialize in caring for small sized dogs, especially Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, but will take medium sized upon request. At my home, the dogs play hard and take naps on the couch. I have a real dog’s home. Toys are played with, lots of love, and your dog will become a member of our family. I am very active with my dogs lives. I invite friends over to socialize them. I have 2 friendly dogs who will immediately show happy tails for their new friend. We play with bubbles, chase balls, eat doggie ice cream, and even have a few toy fish hanging around. We are the kind of home that celebrates a dog birthday with special cakes or cupcakes, enjoys watching the dogs enjoy themselves and the silly things they do, and even puts on special tv shows like the puppy bowl and the dog whisperer for your furry friend. I know what it feels like, and the concerns you might have about leaving your dog with someone new. I’ve been the worried parent too. Therefore, I try to take a variety of photos/videos of them to help you rest easy, knowing they are in good hands. I also send updates about their adventures. My dogs and I look forward to meeting you and your dog, I do meet and greets to get to know your dog, before they visit. It’s a good way for you to get to know me and become comfortable with where your dog will be staying. I’ll give you a little tour of the house and backyard. This also gives me an opportunity to assess your dog’s personality and make sure this would be a good fit for them. During the first few days of his/her visit, I pay extra attention to them. This is typically a more anxious time (when they are just getting used to everything), so I want to make sure they are comfortable. Before your visit: • Make sure all vaccinations are up to date • Complete a meet and greet (if you are new) • Make sure your dogs profile is completely filled out. If your dog has bad habits, this is where you put it. Is he/she scared of storms? Does he/she have a habit of chewing shoes or socks? Does he/she have a routine/ritual I should know about? Is he/she sensitive to being pet, or has a sensitive spot? Would you suggest a lot of patience because of their shyness? Do they have a favorite toy or activity? This is where you put that information. The more I know about your dog, the better prepared I will be for making it a good experience for him/her. • Make sure to note if you’d like any grooming services. • Put together any special instructions If you’re dog is over 15lbs, I will accept based on the sizes and temperament that is best suited for my home. Please drop me a message. What you need to bring: • Food and measuring cup • Kennel and bedding • leash and collar (even if your dog wears a harness) • medications with instructions • Any treats to get them into the kennel and for while they are resting. After all dogs are asleep in their kennels at night, I work my job driving for Lyft on the weekends. It’s flexible enough where I can stop by to let the dogs out whenever I’d like. Usually, the dogs go to bed around 10 pm and I leave to drive as soon as they sound settled. Please let me know if this is a problem for you. My pets come first. Their needs are always attended to. I do a lot of gardening, so they will have plenty of time outside. We are a smoke-free home. The dogs normally sleep in their kennels for at least half the night before joining me in bed, but daytime is spent around the house or backyard. I require kennels for your visit. Kennels are used for pup naps and solitude needed. To ensure all dogs get along, and there is no competition for food, all dogs are fed inside their kennels. I have a large fenced-in backyard for the dogs to enjoy. I use pet gates and kennels to ensure their safety. If I am not at the house because I need to run an errand, I have security cameras both inside and outside my home, which allows me to look in on them, to make sure everything is as it should be. I also require a dog to be wearing a collar. I do this for a variety of reasons. It’s the safest way to ensure a skiddish dog comes out of their kennel, or goes outside for a potty break, etc. I do take in dogs from different households. We become a pack, which is wonderful for their socializing. If you have a more aggressive dog towards other animals, please let me know. If you’d like to schedule a time where there aren’t other dogs (besides mine), please let me know. Who would not be a good fit: if your dog has limited mobility, because my home is a split level and my dogs are pretty active. It just wouldn’t be a good fit for any dog who cannot climb stairs because of a medical condition. I also take puppies, so if your dog gets aggressive or easily irritated with puppies, this may not be the best fit.

“Michelle was great with our nervous Staffy! We needed help on short notice and everything was awesome!”

“They were a great family... Viper was happy and excited... I will use them again while I am in town. Even when I come back to visit. If you are looking for a great place that you dog will enjoy this is it. They have a huge back yard which Viper really enjoyed. So if your fur baby loves the outdoors this the the right fit”

About: I have been around animals and dogs my whole life. I recently lost my 17 yr old baby girl and I miss the companionship but not quite ready for a new pup! I am responding and will make sure your baby gets top notch care! I work real close to home so I am able to pop by when I have a break and check in on the babies! I am usually home every night. I care for your babies just as I would mine.. animals are the bestest of friends and deserve the best of the best. Lots of love and attention will be given.

About: We are a family that absolutely loves dogs and we have two little girls that just love to play with dogs and give them lots of love. We have flexible schedules and can usually make anything work. I'm working a very flexible part time job and will have plenty time to play with and walk your dog and give him all the attention they need. I have a decent sized yard and a tie out for a dog. We have plenty opportunities to walk and play with your dog during the day. We have two little girls who would love to play and love on your dog too.

About: I have trained many kinds of dogs for many different things! I have a service dog that I trained Bella! I also have a cat that is trained to sit, spin, and jump! I have experience with diabetic animals and with most animals in general! I work from home and rarely work away from home! I have a lot of time to hang out with pets! My in laws host rover dogs and I'm happiest when I'm over there spending time with 6 dogs at a time lol it's so much fun! I don't have space to take more than 2 dogs at a time but someday I will! I am working on getting fencing for my yard! I only let 1 dog out on a lead at a time until I get my yard fenced. We go to the dog park most weeks for exercise but I will respect owners wishes! My dog Bella is crate trained and we can use it if needed!

“Incredibly accommodating, as Mayo was not. David worked around our ever changing and opaque interactions with Mayo. The care was so attentive I am not sure our pooch was ready to leave. We have never boarded our (abused) rescue dog and David’s care made this part of our Rochester experience absolutely calming and care free. If I could give seven stars I would and I am sure our dog would agree. Job well done. Thank You”

“Thank you so much! Luna seems like she had a good time.”
