Doggy Day Care in Sturgis

“Josie was amazing. She checked in through the day, sent pictures, and was extra flexible with us. Our dogs came home worn out and ready for snuggles. We will definitely be using her again. She was amazing.”

“I can’t say how impressed I am with Tammie. I was visiting family and am from Iowa, Tammie was more then accommodating and welcoming. I could tell she likes what she does and cares about her canine clients. Her home is set up for the dogs and, even with multiple dogs, stays clean. My Corgi was comfortable right way. I used Tammies daycare twice, the second time my Corgi couldn’t wait to get in the door. I will be using Tammie services whenever I visit, no question about it!”

“My Boxer loves hanging out with James, Sharese and family. I know she is treated like family and I don’t worry about her when she is in their very kind and capable hands! Thanks again!”

About: For 10 years I have cared for dogs and cats, I love animals and I can take care of them and love them like you. I can take walks daily, play with them, give oral medications and a lot of love. I can also take care of small pets such as birds, rabbits, hamster etc. For me, the most important thing is that you can enjoy your free time and vacation and that you are completely sure that your pet is in a home where they will take care of it and love how you do it, send photos and videos day by day so that you can see your best friend. My main language is Spanish but I can have conversations with you using the translator if that does not bother you 😉 I have the time, and space necessary to take care of your dog or cat or any pet like you would. I am the most time of the day in my house with my little family My house has a wide, fenced and very sure garden where your dog can go out to play, run and do their needs several times a day

“Ophelia has always had a great stay whenever she is at Alexia’s!! Communicative, willing to work with your dog’s needs, and gives them plenty of love :) and lots of pictures!”

“Wonderful experience! Catherine was quick to respond and willing to watch my puppy who was still working on being potty trained. I received multiple updates and pictures throughout the day. She was willing to help with potty training and create training and offered other training services. She had great advice and did great with my puppy during her stay. She was flexible with pick up and drop off times and communicated needs and concerns with me about training before implementing changes with my puppy. Overall great experience!”

“Faith , her husband, and her their three pups were very welcoming - both at the meet and greet and for Bertie's day long stay. They have a large fenced back yard and a dog friendly house. I appreciated their quick replies to texts, and of course I loved their kind words about my great dog!”

About: I’ve had several pets and worked with livestock over the years. Pepper was our family pet, a Border Collie I trained as a puppy. I cared for Murdoc, a 50lb German Shepherd mix, into his senior years. In 2017, I rescued Circe, a pint-sized black cat, and in 2021, Joey, my sweet senior beagle boy. I feel like I’ve done it all: thorns in the paw, administering meds, emergencies, play time, treat time, training, long walks, car rides, cleaning messes, and more! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I do venture out sometimes, but keep it to four hours maximum. I'm more of a night owl, so I prefer drop-offs after 10am and can accommodate pickups as late as 1:30am. If you need to arrange a drop-off earlier than 10am, need to book without two weeks notice, or I’m unavailable at the start or end of your booking, feel free to message me—I'm happy to see if we can work something out. I only book one dog at a time through Rover. However, I may also be caring for additional dogs through my LLC. If you're booking with me for the first time on Rover, please note that there may be other dogs in my home, other than my own, during your pet’s stay. These dogs are not new to my home—they’re regulars who have been properly vetted and are low- to medium-energy. Your pet is my priority ✨ I am attentive to details, so when a new furry friend comes over, I keep a close watch on how they're adjusting to their new temporary environment. I'm excellent at picking up on even the smallest signs they give off and base my care accordingly to ensure they're feeling comfy right from the start. I have a dog and cat at home and will care for your pet as though it were part of the fam! I have advanced education in communication, so I strive to be transparent about what is going on with your pet, and I expect the same from you before booking. Every pet has quirks, whether your pup needs lots of cuddles or some space to chill, I make it my mission to ensure your pup feels safe, happy, and like they're on vacation during their stay!

“Simply the best’s”

“Our dog is an hour into her first time ever being with a dogsitter. Anna is so amazing! She sent me pics right away and said that they already love Porsha. Then she offered to give her a bath. I am blown away.”

Mary H.

“This was Mason's second stay with Kristen and he was very excited to go and had a great time! Was kept up to date throughout the day with pictures. Will definitely use again!”

About: Hi my name is Christie and I am a huge Animal Lover! To me, dogs and cats aren’t just animals they are lifelong companions. 💕 I have many years of experience caring for a multitude of animals (30+ to be exact). As a kid, we had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds you name it. In high school, I worked for a groomer and learned a lot about how to properly care for different animals. I've always had a passion for rescuing because of my mom and her love of rescuing/saving animals in need of a home. It’s something that she passed down to me. RIP Momma I Miss You! ❤️‍🩹 My philosophy is that every animal deserves to know what love is in its fullest form so that is what I strive to provide to each and every animal in my care. I just recently lost our two oldest rescues dogs named Romeo and our Wheaton Terrier named Hayley. Oh and let us not forget our very outspoken Torti cat named Nala whom we loved dearly. So we rescued our beautiful cat Bella and most recently a sweet 4 month old puppy named Nova. They are my furrkids, my companions, my therapy animals, and my little loves. As a self-employed cosmetologist I am blessed with a flexible schedule which allows me the opportunity to be here to help care for your pet companions in the best ways possible. I am flexible and I am open to helping when & where I’m needed. I have references I can provide from those whose animals I have cared for previously that I will happily provide. Exercise is important to me so we like to spend time taking the animals we care for on long walks or hikes, swimming, or to the park to chase a ball or frisbee. I strive to give them the love and play time that they deserve. 🫶🏻 I am currently self-employed so I’ll have lots of time to dedicate to your furbaby/furbabies. I’m dedicated to making sure your pet feels loved and accepted in our home. I have two friendly dogs who will give your furbaby lots of playtime fun. We teach tricks and go for daily walks, play fetch, and support lots of playtime. Daily snuggles and love are a must!!

“Amanda was great to work with. We would use her again!”

About: There has never been a day of my life that I haven’t had and loved and cared for a pet. My love for animals is unmeasurable. I have cared for my own pets, as well as pets of my family and friends. Animals bring me so much joy and if I can spend every day of my life loving on my own and others’ fur babies, it will be a great life! I have cared for young and old animals and everything in between. I would love to be part of taking care of your furry friends! I have the best job in the WORLD! I’m pretty flexible to whatever your needs might be and can usually adjust my schedule to work around just about any client/pet needs. Please feel free to reach out with any requests! It is so important to feel comfortable with the people you entrust your pets to, and I can offer years of experience and care. I have trained my own pets from the time they came to my home. I am a smoke free, active individual who loves to get outdoors. I’m happy to provide whatever service needed, whether it be walks, exercise, basic training, mental activities, etc. I bring with me decades of experience caring for and loving on all animals I come in contact with!

About: My husband and I have had dogs or been around dogs since we were kids. We know what it takes to feed them, walk them, play with them, and love them! I work from home full time so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pup and make sure they are well cared for. I am available weekdays and most weekends. We have a fenced in back yard with space for your dog to roam or play in. We live in a good neighborhood and the street is not too busy.

About: Now in Elkhart, IN! I first started out in the dog world working in doggy daycares. I started to realize there’s a huge amount of wonderful dogs missing out on fun simply because they don’t fit daycare or dog park standards. I was watching dogs get turned away for creating problems out of boredom or stress due to the chaotic environment. I saw owners leaving confused and dogs leaving misunderstood and even labeled. Every dog deserves to be out and about! That’s when I started my own walking/exercise business out of St. Charles MO. Six years later and we’ve had a BLAST! I provide customized outings that cater to your dog and what they love most. Outings build confidence, burn energy, enforce good behavior and teach new skills. We explore a variety of activities like biking, hiking, swimming, dry land mushing and frisbee. We have fun with strengths and work on weaknesses. I am looking forward to bringing the fun to the dogs of IN! I offer three different services: neighborhood walk, field trip and day care - on the go! Neighborhood Walks consist of exploring anywhere within walking distance of your home. They can be booked for 30mins - 1.5 hr. Field Trips allow for more exploring, more exposure training and more intense exercise. We will drive to a park away from home. These outings are 2hrs. Daycare -on the go! is the full package. We go all over! This is a 5hr day from time of pickup to drop off. Daycare - on the go! is a group outing where your dog will meet and build a relationship with two - three other day camp dogs. They spend the day together as a group hiking, swimming, biking, exploring, playing and training! My daycare dogs have more park patches than most people! Solo daycare options are available as well in case your dog does not particularly enjoy other four legged friends. I have been so incredibly lucky to run my dog Field Trip and Daycare - on the go! business for the past six years successfully and safely in MO.

About: I’ve had animals most of life. Ranging from dogs, cats, gerbils, and fish. They come second nature to me. I have an Australian Shepherd that is 2 1/2 years old, and her name is Andi. I adopted her when she was 4 months, and she is my life. Well I work from home. Typically I set my own hours, but I have the time while working to watch over animals as well. The weekends I am typically home as well as the evenings. I currently have guinea pigs which are caged. My Australian Shepherd is not crated, and has free roam of the home. I do have 15 stairs that go from the entry way into my apartment. I currently have a leash outside in the backyard. I don't use it that much though as my dog Andi has learned to stay in the backyard, off the leash through training.

About: I grew up with cats & dogs. We always had at least two in our house as kids and I've owned lots and lots of pets with human names. Since I’m a teacher I am available all summer long. I am an early riser and can accommodate all times you may need for your pets My pets get walked four times a day and seem to be my mode of exercise. I can accommodate early and late hours in particular.

About: I have had pets of all kinds for most of my life. I have taken care of friends and families pets and worked as a veterinary assistant.
