Doggy Day Care Strathmore

“Alley took amazing care of our dog Libby. She was communicative and thoughtful. She gave Libby puzzle toys and lick mats for some stimulation while it was too cold to play outside. Would highly recommend”

“Very accommodating esp last min and all my pick up changes. Really cared about Kano. Made sure he had fun. Took him in walks and to the park. Sent cute pix”

“Lorrie was fantastic with my dog Stevie! I could tell from our meet and greet that she is very knowledgeable about dogs. My dog is very scared of people he doesn’t know and hates when people approach him. Lorrie took her time, letting Stevie get comfortable and reading his body language when he needed space. Then, at his first daycare, Lorrie was extremely communicative with me, sending lots of pictures and videos about how Stevie was acclimating. So excited to use her daycare services again!”

“I'm retired, so my dog is with me most of the time and I've only left her on her own for short periods. I needed to leave her for several hours, so I was looking for a sitter to take care of her during my absence. I found Erin on Rover and all her reviews were 5 star and spoke highly of her. Plus, she was only a short car ride away. We had our meet and greet and Erin was everything and more that her reviews claimed, so I booked with her. My dog had the time of her life during her stay with Erin! Erin took my dog with her when she went to drop off and later pick up her daughter at the school bus stop and my dog, who loves people, was in her element meeting all the other kids and their parents. My dog spent the rest of the day playing with Erin's too-young-for-school son, who did a great job tiring my dog out and she slept all the way on the car ride home! Erin, her husband Nicholas and their two young children treated my dog just like she was their own and took wonderful care of her. I highly recommend Erin.”

“I can’t express enough how wonderful Sara was with our little Peanut. I had come to grips with the fact that I probably won’t be able to go anywhere this summer because I didn’t want to take my dog somewhere where they would crate her or where she would be with a bunch of other dogs until I found Sara. She was absolutely wonderful and she treated her like one of the family. She only takes one dog or one household of pets at a time which makes me feel even more comfortable. My puppy absolutely adored her and her family and so did I! Thank you Sara for all your did. I know you will see Peanut every time we are away or even just out for the day like we did today.”

“William is very responsive and easy to coordinate with. He took great care of our shy dog and by the end of the visit they were best buddies.”

You will receive regular, detailed updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I manage safety with a professional eye and deliver care with a mother's heart.

“Christina was awesome! It was my first time using a sitter from the rove app and she couldn’t have made the experience any better. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup there all day! She truly was amazing, she sent photos, videos, and updates throughout the day which made me believe my pup was in great hands and indeed she was. When I got to Christina’s house to pick up my dog she did not want to leave haha, will definitely be back!”

About: Hello! Thank you for checking out my profile! Since I was a child, I’ve taken care of dogs. I grew up with a sweet, special needs bichon frise and cocker spaniel. As an adult I was a dog mom to a wonderful Jack Russell. When Roxy crossed the rainbow bridge a few years ago, I started house sitting and walking dogs for neighbors, friends, and family.

About: I provide more than just pet care—I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs.

About: I’ve been a pet owner for over 20 years, ranging from the typical fish, cat, and beloved Murphy, to include even a pet iguana (or two). 🥰 I have a fenced yard where both Murphy and your furry loved one can play and hang out. For overnight stays I have a large adult dog kennel that can accommodate a Mastiff just as comfortably as it can my Min Pin (who believes he’s the size of a Mastiff). 😄 I have an older dog with lots of energy and plays well with other dogs. I am an active person, so neighborhood walking is available for dogs with proper training. I can also provide some minor training reinforcement for puppies or young dogs learning new skills and/or tricks. 🐾 Tips are APPRECIATED!!! 🐾 I work from home! 🙌🏾 So my schedule is flexible and allows me to be able to work with and respond to clients in a timely manner. My home is fenced. All pets remain on the property unless they are taken for walks. I also will let clients know about overlaps in booking wih animals.

“Sean and Dakota went above and beyond to make sure my puppy was happy and comfortable. They are always quick to respond and very kind and caring. It was very comforting to know my puppy was in such great hands while I was away. Highly recommend!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and trust I bring to every pet I watch. I’ve cared for friends’, neighbors’, and clients’ pets both in my home and during overnight stays, so I’m very comfortable adapting to each pet’s routine and environment. I have experience with a wide range of needs, including administering medications and injections, and I’m attentive to any changes in behavior or health. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs structure and play, or a senior pet who requires a gentler, more patient approach, I tailor my care to what makes them feel safest and happiest. I also prioritize communication, making sure owners feel at ease with regular updates and photos. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so it’s not something I try to “fit in”, it’s something I intentionally make time for and build my routine around. My approach to pet care is always tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their pet’s normal schedule to keep things as stress-free as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise, while also keeping their environment clean and secure. I’m respectful of the home and aim to leave everything just as I found it. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and at ease. I keep a consistent routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime, and I make sure they get lots of supervision and affection throughout the day.

“Jonathan was excellent. He introduced my dog to his own dogs so that they can get comformtable around each other since my dog is afraid of big dogs. Jonathan kept updating me throughout the day with pictures and text messages. I was very happy with the service and care my pet got from Jonathan and will definitely go back to them in futuure.”

“Dawn is the best! Benny is our first ever pup as a family, so we were very nervous leaving him for the first time overnight, but Dawn took care of our dog with exceptional care and love. Communication was great from the start. She is responsive, provides regular updates, sends adorable photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away from him, and even gave our puppy a bone to play with that helped with his teething problem. It’s clear that she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals, especially ours ☺️ and we will definitely be using her services again in the future. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
