Doggy Day Care in Strawtown

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of breeds, ages, and sizes. My family has a long history of rescuing dogs from shelters—especially those who struggled to find homes due to trauma, reactivity, or anxiety. With patience, structure, and consistent training, I have helped many of these dogs gain confidence and eventually transition into loving forever homes. Because of this, I’m experienced with: • Reactive, anxious, or shy dogs • Dogs with difficult backgrounds • Senior dogs • Puppies and high-energy breeds • Multi-dog household management I’m comfortable preparing homemade meals if your dog has dietary restrictions or special needs, and I’m always happy to follow any routine your pet requires. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which means your pup gets: • Frequent potty breaks • Lots of one-on-one time • Consistent supervision throughout the day I have high activity levels—great for energetic dogs who love walks and playtime—yet also have calm, patient personalities that help anxious or older dogs feel secure. I have two children: a 1-year-old daughter who is home full-time, and a 7-year-old son who is home outside of school and sports. Both kids adore dogs and have grown up understanding pet body language and boundaries. While i do ask that your dog be kid-friendly, i also make sure our children respect each dog’s comfort level and personal space. What You Can Expect • Reliable communication • Photo and video updates upon request • Safe, loving care tailored to your dog’s needs • Plenty of walks around our large subdivision filled with sidewalks, parks, and ponds—weather permitting • A warm, family-style environment with structure, comfort, and enrichment Your dog will truly be treated like part of our family while they’re here. 💛🐾 I truly love dogs—my two pups are part of everything we do, and they enjoy meeting new friends. My home is designed with safety, comfort, and flexibility in mind: • Fully enclosed 8-foot privacy fence for secure, weather-permitting outdoor play • Completely pet-proofed home • Multiple levels and gated areas for dogs who need separation • Retractable gates and room dividers for customized safe zones • Doggy Chill Space for crates, quiet rest areas, and decompression time If your dog prefers not to interact with other dogs (or only struggles with certain types—male, large, senior, etc.), i can easily provide full separation and rotating play schedules to ensure every dog has a calm, happy stay.

About: I have been taking care of friends and family’s pet for 5+ years now. My sister used to do rover and I used to help her out, she moved to a different state so I decided to open my own rover. I work from home so i can take pets out for walk and provide pee and potty breaks anytime. I work from home so I am usually home whole day and I’m home in the evening time as well to take care of pet. I can provide all the care the client would require for their pet either at my house or their house during any time but I prefer at my home.

“Veronika was so welcoming and took great care of our pup. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the day and our pup had a blast. Thank you Veronika for all you do.”

“They are so wonderful, nice, accommodating, and took great care of our girl! We loved getting updates throughout daycare and love that they have two sweet similar pups themselves! Thank you so much for everything!”

About: I have been a dog groomer for 5 years now! I also show Brussels Griffons and Dutch Rabbits. I love working with all types of animals. I was a doggy hotel and daycare associate for 4 years. In that time I have cared for dogs of all ages. I was responsible for feeding them, taking them on walks, and giving medication. I am a dog groomer that works from home! I love being able to spend my day with my favorite clients. I have a fenced in yard and bedroom dedicated just for dogs as well as a grooming salon. While I am taking care of your pets I visit them 1-3 times a day depending on your preferences. I like to stay with them for as long as possible because I know it can be hard for them while your away.

“Bella was well taken care of in her first day care visit in 11 years. Thanks Christina for making her feel loved and secure. Will see you again real soon.”

About: My furry family has been growing since 2017. We have rescued, puppy trained, and kitten trained and are up to 3 four legged friends in our home! We fostered animals from our local shelter for about a year during covid, however, we failed as foster parents and ended up adopting a kitten from one of our litters. There are more animals in our house then humans and we wouldn't have it any other way! My husband and I currently work from home so are available for walking/check ins whenever you need! I'm currently working full time but I work remotely so have the flexibility to come check on your animals whenever! We are also available most weekends. We have a fenced in yard, so if play time calls, they can go in and out as much as they want! We have plenty of toys and two dogs to keep them company. We also try to go on walks once or twice a day so they will get their steps in if they like to get out of the house!

“Clara was wonderful! She took great care of my 2 dogs who left her daycare very happy. I would definitely recommend her as a sitter.”

About: I am a mom and local school teacher! My family would love to take care of your baby. We have watched many dogs throughout the years and would love to meet you! **Out for summer break so home the majority of the time!**. I can run home to let out to potty if needed. My kids and I are home about 2:30 each day and have the rest of the day to play. We love to go on walks and spoil your baby. We are happy to keep in their crate or allow them to sleep in our beds.

“Wonderful!!”

“I was nervous leaving Ollie since this was our first time using Rover. When we arrived, Ollie quickly started sniffing around and made himself at home. Sam took him in, making it easier to walk away. I was really happy to get a text and a picture during his stay to know that he was doing ok. When we came to pick him up, he seemed really happy. I would be comfortable leaving him with Sam and Rachel again.”

About: I have had dogs and cats for years. My friends say the animals I adopt have won the lottery. I feel quite the opposite. I am good with cats, puppies, and senior dogs. Comfortable giving meds and shots. I work part-time during the school year and home all summer and during the holidays. I am flexible during the day and evening for your pet needs I am very dependable, patient, kind and trustworthy. I have had many animals and take exceptional care of any/all animals that have been in my home.

About: I've been watching pets for a very long time around my neighborhood and i've been wanting to expand my clientele for a while! I have two dogs at home so I know a lot about dogs and about what they need from a caregiver. I have a lot of experience from helping out neighbors with cats and dogs but also even with hamsters, turtles, and even fish. I love animals and I would love to help out! I'm currently 19 and about to be a sophomore in college at IU Bloomington. I'm here for the summer before I have to go back to college in August so pet sitting is the perfect opportunity! I'm free to help anytime! I have a big yard and two dogs at home to keep your pets company! I have a food bowl, water bowl, and 2 different crate sizes available for when your pets come, and endless toys. I love keeping my clients updated, especially for a long stay so pictures and videos can be provided too!

“Highly recommend Stefanie to take care of your dogs! Our girl loves going to daycare and comes back so tired from a day of love and playing. So many pictures taken and she is always quick to communicate. We’ve tried a few different places, and Stefanie is the best — Thank you Stefanie!”

Amber E.

“Emily was amazing!! She took such good care of our dog and kept us updated with pics the whole time, which we loved. He came back sooo happy and exhausted (in the best way) 😭 Super easy to communicate with, really responsive, and just overall very chill and caring. You can tell she really loves what she does. Would 100% book again and recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!!”

Chloe K.

“We can’t say enough good things about Laura, Chris, and their family! From the very first, it felt like our two Sheepadoodles were welcomed as part of the pack. We booked a full 6 days and every evening they would be exhausted in the best way, always excited to return. Laura and Chris were kind, communicative, and clearly dog-experts! Can’t recommend them enough!”
