Doggy Day Care in Third Lake

“Martha and Byron are amazing! They took excellent care of Tango and Lily. As soon as I dropped them off, Tango was taken for a walk and Lily roamed free around the house and yard. Throughout the day I received multiple updates with pictures. Martha and Byron knew Tango loves carrots and they provided that for him. Both dogs were entertained and enjoyed their time with Martha, Byron, and their three sons. When we got home, Tango and Lily were so tired that they passed out right away! Exactly what I was hoping for - happy dog = a tired dog 😀 Thank you both for providing such a fun and loving environment for my dogs. We will be back!!”

“Monica was so great with Rose! So caring and flexible and responsive. Rose had the best time playing with Monica’s dog Beto and she will miss him very much. I will absolutely use Monica again if I come back to town to visit!”

“Debbie has a lovely home and my dear pups were treated like honored guests. The meet and greet let me know Jasper and Millie were in good hands. Debbie’s entire family welcomed our dogs. I felt like I had an entire team to meet their needs with Debbie as captain. I appreciated the photos and texts to know our family pets were In good hands. It was a terrific experience and gives me great peace to know I can work late or plan an adventure and our beautiful pups will be in loving hands. Very grateful.”

“We had a great experience with Chisato! She sent us many pictures and videos through the day, and we could see Charlotte was being well taken care of and loved! 🥰 we will definitely be using Chisato in the future!”

“I can't say enough wonderful things about Tessa and the dog daycare that she provides! She is very friendly, clearly a big dog lover, and is very attentive to my dog, Cypria's individual personality, needs, and preferences. Cypria always takes some time to warm up to new places and people, but has been very quickly warming up to Tessa. When Tessa first met Cypria, she even sat down on the floor so that Cypria would feel less intimidated and feel comfortable enough to approach her. I always feel completely at ease leaving my dog with Tessa knowing that she is so well cared for. Tessa also watched my family's Border Collie, Maia, who is incredibly energetic. Maia miraculously came home tired for once and very content after a day with lots of her favorite activity: fetch!”

“Elisa is the sweetest most thoughtful sitter! She provided a safe and loving home for my little dog and sent me the cutest pictures regularly throughout the day. She is the absolute best if you are looking for a deeply kind and gentle soul to create a safe place for your little one. Yay Elisa! ( and her sweet dog Fiona)”

Martha P.

“I can’t say enough nice things about Arelys from helping us out last minute with an elder dog who has never been anywhere but home. Then throw in an 8 month rescue puppy who is massive energy. She made us feel comfortable, kept us updated and even fixed the mess up in our booking. Again never having boarded any of our dogs this was all new territory. I would definitely have her watch our doggies with a little more notice next time!!!”

Lisa G.

“Kim was fantastic! Bijoux was well cared for and had so much fun in her backyard! We will definitely use Kim again.”

Marcia S.

“Lisa Ann was great with my Golden Retriever Cosmo. He got along great with her 2 yellow labs. She sent me photos and updates to let me know how he was doing. She has a beautiful fenced yard overlooking a lake. Thank Lisa Ann! We hope to have you care for Cosmo again soon!”

Erika W.

“Thanit is so sweet! She clearly loved my puppy and was excited to care for him. He came home so tired - she wore him out! Thankful for her care 💛”

About: My family and I had the privilege of loving a Yorke for 14 years. He taught us true love and fidelity. We still miss him I'm currently working part-time from home so I will have plenty of time to take care of your dog. I am available for boarding any day of the week after 7:00 am I have a fenced yard and a spacious house. I would only cage a dog if it is necessary and appropriate according to the owner's instructions.

About: I do not have special special skills besides that I truly take care of pets, being responsible and careful. I have had pets with disabilities, very old, and I have given them medicine orally, and topically and changed the bandages, as well as fed with my palm for very old and blind ones. I currently work part time and mostly available to take care of pets. My schedule is flexible for boarding on and off, as well as weekends I live in a single house with fenced backyard. I am available for taking care of your loved ones and have a nice place in my house for them❤️. It is clean and cozy.

About: I’m a full time animal care technician at a no kill animal shelter and have my Bachelor of Science in Animal Studies and Marine Biology. I’ve had a variety of pets and pet sitting experiences since I was a kid from big to small dogs, cats, snakes, chameleons, spiders, lizards, etc., and have pet/house sat for several friends, family members, and neighbors. I’ve also been a foster parent to dozens of litters of kittens, both feral and social. I’m able to provide walks, feeding, cleaning, and care for a variety of pets in a variety of environments. I’m also comfortable administering medication via injection or orally. I’ve provided care for elderly and special needs dogs, as well as fearful, reactive, and high energy dogs. I work AM shifts Sunday-Thursday. I can do overnight visits and depending on the day can do check-ins typically every 3-8 hours. On weekends, I typically spend a majority of my time with your animal. I will provide any care necessary for your pets including walking, crate and crate training, enrichment, snuggles (if your pet is a snuggler), and exercise. I will also be cognizant of any house rules such as no pets on the couch. I am also great with socialization of pets no matter how shy or timid. I’ve had experience with all sorts of temperaments- fearful, reactive, high energy, and normal-tempered animals- and can adjust according the animals needs.

“Elena is amazing!! She is very responsive, followed my instructions, and took such great care of Briscoe -- my sweet pup was happy and tired when I picked her up, so I know she had a fun day with Elena. Briscoe is looking forward to the next time she sees Elena! Thank you so much!!”

About: I got my first dog (fox terrier) at 10 and was primarily responsible for his needs until I went to college. He lived to be 11 and I loved those 10 years with him so much. During high school and college until COVID started, I pet sit several dogs and a few cats. Then I adopted a retired racing greyhound when COVID started and adopted a rescue great dane in fall 2023. I would describe myself as consistent, adaptable, respectful, confident, observant, and caring. I am very understanding to the fact that every dog has different needs and that every owner has their own rules/training styles. I am an experienced dog handler. When I adopted the rescue great dane, he was completely untrained with very dangerous and challenging behaviors. I worked with 3 different trainers, took him to a group obedience class, and researched as much as I could to train him to be the good dog I knew he could be. After almost a year of rigorous training, he has been able to become an amazing well behaved dog. I am completely open to taking care of any breed, size, age, and personality. I will not shy away from or turn down taking care of the "difficult" dogs, or puppies, or senior dogs with many medical requirements. All dogs are great and deserve great care while their human is away! Last Updated: 7/9/2025 ***I live in a neighborhood off of Route 45 and Sterns School*** WALKS AND DROP-INS - Reoccurring bookings: Mon-Wed/Fri-Sun 11:30 a.m.-7:00 p.m.; Thu 1:00-7:00 p.m. - One-time bookings: Can be outside of the above times if needed, but confirm with me first. ***A DISCOUNTED WALK RATE IS AVAILABLE DURING ALL BOARDING, HOUSE SITTING, AND DAYCARE BOOKINGS*** - 30 min walk per day = $10 (usually $20) - 15 min walk per day = $5 HOUSE SITTING: I am available to stay with your pet in your home any night and day of the week almost 24/7. I have a few re-occurring weekly dog walks so I would need to be gone for a few hours midday usually. BOARDING: Your dog can stay overnight at my house any day of the week, provided that they are a small breed, well-behaved, and okay with large dogs.* DAYCARE: Your dog can stay at my house any day of the week provided that they are a small breed, well-behaved, and okay with large dogs.* - Re-occurring bookings: preferred drop off is 9 a.m. or later, pick up anytime is fine - One-time bookings: drop off can be earlier than 9 a.m. if needed, just confirm with me first, pick up anytime is fine --- *My greyhound is 9 y.o., 70 lb. and my great dane is 4 y.o., 140 lb. My great dane LOVES small, well-behaved dogs, but still struggles a bit with medium/large dogs. I am working to resolve this and will be able to accommodate those sizes for boarding/daycare in the future! ^If I house sit for you and you have a medium/large dog that cannot be left alone or does not like other dogs, I can still bring them to my house and crate my dogs in the other room! I will always uphold any rules/training style you have for me and your dog no matter what service I am providing. I am receptive to feedback and will always keep you informed about how my time is going with your dog and will always ask questions in order to take the best care of your dog. HOUSE SITTING: I am okay with multidog homes. I will leave your house the way you had it when you leave and I can get your mail/packages/put your trash cans out and back in as well. I can take care of other animals you have as well while you are gone. BOARDING/DAYCARE: Safety and peace of mind is of utmost importance for me. Since I have 2 large dogs already, I can only take one dog at a time. (Caveats: If an emergency, I could take a second dog; if you have two well-behaved small dogs, that might be okay too - just ask me). The greyhound is very chill and is great with any well-behaved dog. The great dane is fine with well-behaved small dogs. I will always take it slow on leash when introducing the dogs to each other and then they will always be supervised when together. Only other pets I have are fish. I have no kids. I keep the house very clean and doors to rooms/bathrooms closed so no way of getting in to things they shouldn't! I have a decently sized fenced backyard. There is a few feet of the fence that is higher off the ground so if I can keep small dogs on leash when they go out. I can also take them out by themself if necessary. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a basement so plenty of room in case the dogs need a break from each other or need to play separately from each other. Additionally, the great dane is extremely well crate trained and has an upstairs and downstairs crate that can be utilized. If I had to leave for some reason while your dog is staying at my house (which I rarely do, all dogs would be separated (by crate or being in a different room). You can bring their crate and/or I have an extra crate as well. All dogs can sleep in the bedroom but not on the bed!

“Carol and her family are wonderful pet sitters! Initially, we were worried about leaving our new puppy with anyone, but after meeting Carol and her family, our anxiety was relieved. She is a very loving, caring person and treated Sebastian like her own. Thank you, again, Carol!”
