Doggy Day Care The Birches

“My girls had a great time with Michael. He really understood each dog’s personalities & took good care of them. They were nicely tired & all their needs were filled in when we picked them up.”

“Our little Odie loved his time at Rochelle's! She took such good care of him and he came home calm and relaxed every day. Great communication and wonderful location. Highly recommend!”

About: I provide dedicated dog-only daycare with personalized care tailored to each dog’s energy and routine. I specialize in senior dog care — gentle walks, mobility support, medication administration, and low-impact enrichment. Dogs enjoy daily exercise, supervised play, puzzle toys, and cozy home comfort. I send prompt photo updates and detailed notes, and offer flexible scheduling to fit owners’ needs. I offer dog-only daycare for small dogs (under 25 lbs). Available Monday–Thursday 7:00 AM–7:00 PM, Friday 7:00 AM–5:30 PM, and weekends 8:00 AM–5:00 PM. Daily routine includes morning greeting and potty break, a morning walk or play session, mid-day rest with enrichment toys, an afternoon walk/play session, feeding/medication as needed, and a final calm wind-down before pickup. Regular photo updates and notes are sent after each visit. I care for dogs in my home in a calm, dog-only daycare environment (no dog sitting in clients' homes). My household includes an easygoing 11-year-old pug, Milo, and two friendly cats, Jewel (7) and Oliver (1); all are well-socialized and tolerant of visiting small dogs. I accept only small dogs under 25 lbs with friendly, social temperaments to ensure safe, relaxed interactions. In-home routine and care: - Introductions: Gradual, supervised meet-and-greet on arrival to assess comfort and body language. - Supervision: Constant, close supervision during play with separation options (gates/rooms/crates) if any stress appears. - Exercise & enrichment: Leashed walks, short play sessions, and puzzle toys tailored to each dog’s energy level. - Rest & space: Multiple cozy resting areas and quiet time for seniors or shy dogs. Feeding & meds: Individual feeding by schedule; medication administered as directed with written instructions. - Hygiene & safety: Clean, dog-proofed spaces; fresh water always available; immediate cleanup of accidents. - Communication: Photo updates and a brief report after each day covering potty, play, meals, behavior, and any concerns. I prioritize calm, supervised socialization and a stress-free routine to make visiting dogs feel safe and happy alongside Milo, Jewel, and Oliver.

“Alison is our favorite dog sitter. She is very responsible, great with communication, really takes the time to understand our dog’s needs. She works from home but always takes time to take our dog out for walks or play with her. You can really tell she loves dogs. We couldn’t recommend her more.”

Marianne J.

“Kristin and her little daughter took such great care of Teddy ☺️He clearly felt comfortable and had a lovely time. Communication was easy and friendly — we’d definitely trust them again!”

Lena K.

“Deidre was amazing with our two whippets, Oliver and Finley! She has a spacious, fully fenced backyard where the boys had a blast running and playing. Her two pups were super friendly and got along great with ours. Deidre was incredibly easy to communicate with—flexible, responsive, and made the whole experience stress-free. We’d absolutely book with her again!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages - from playful puppies to wise seniors, so I understand each stage’s unique needs. Whether it’s training, gentle care, or keeping them active and happy, I make sure every dog feels loved and safe. I work full-time from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your pups. I’m available for boarding any day of the week and can give them attention, walks, and cuddles whenever they need. I provide a safe and calm environment for pets. My home has a fully fenced yard, and there are no children or other pets, so your furry friend can play and relax freely and safely.

“We were very happy with our dogs care with Pamela. Our dog got the attention and activity with other dogs that he needed while we were gone for a day. And he was tired and happy when we picked him up 😀 It was nice to receive pictures thruout the day too! Will definately use Pamela's services again for our pup!”

Shelley T.

“This was my first time using the Rover App and honestly I was a little nervous about leaving my puppy in the hands of a stranger. Sonia made me feel so comfortable by sending me pictures and updates of my little guy throughout the day, and was super easy to keep in touch with. Her and her husband were awesome, and I ended up leaving my pup with them a second day while I was at work. Definitely recommend!!”

About: When I was little and people asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always said 'dog walker' — and now I finally get to live that dream! This summer I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I have experience with both small and large dogs, as well as cats, and I treat every animal like my own. This summer I'm home in Olympia taking a college course, so my days are flexible and my focus is simple — hitting the books and spoiling some fur babies! I have plenty of time and am committed to giving your pet consistent, reliable care My home comes with a large fenced yard — plenty of room for your pup to run wild, explore, and have the time of their life!

“Kacie is very responsive and caring! Her dog and cat got along well with our dog and I would recommend her! We've only had her sit once but wouldn't hesitate to have her care for of our dog again.”

About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life. I have a genuine love for being near animals and taking care of them because they brighten my day. I am currently in college I want to try to make pet sitting a part time job so I can save up for my future. The apartment comples I live in has a dog park where a lot of dogs go and have fun, if there is any type of schedule by the owner/owners I would follow it. I usually try to relax on my free time, reading books and enjoying art, my hobbies give me time to take care of and play with the animals that I care for. The doors are locked unless I or someone with a key unlocks them, i make sure that the dogs have a leash on before I open the door and that there are no cats near the door to run out.

“Rachel was so accommodating for our boys. Took them on a much needed walk and they slept like babies that night at home. It was our first time but she made us feel comfortable with photos and responded to texts in a timely manner. I am very grateful and will use her again!!”

“Today was Leo’s third visit with James and Julia. He really enjoys his time playing with the other doggies. James and Julia have a perfect place for dogs to be safe and have fun. I am very happy I found these young couple to look after our doggie.”

About: I’m a mature and experienced animal lover, I’ve had many animals through the years and that I have personally owned from dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and horses. Referrals available upon request I have done pet sitting for friends and family through the years and I’m home everyday to care for your animals. I have received many referrals for the quality of care and affection I give to their animals. My experience with animals and my fully fenced backyard and a clean non smoking family home in a nice neighborhood in Olympia/lacey area is ideal for pet sitting. We lost our beautiful and sweet Bernese mountain dog recently so I would love to petsit to have some dog love . No dogs allowed that show aggression to people or others dogs. Please be UPDATED ON VACCINES AND FLEA PREVENTION Spring/Summer months will need a phone screenshot or show a paper copy . Thanks
