Doggy Day Care in Townsend

“Danita gave us peace of mind to enjoy ourselves at an event where dogs were not allowed, by sending updates of our Jozey with pictures. Great communication and a very nice person! We would hire her again for sure. Thank you Danita!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine passion for all types of pets combined with a highly personalized and attentive approach to care. I treat every pet as if they were my own — learning their unique personality, preferences, and routine so they feel comfortable and happy right away. Above all, I’m deeply committed to building trust with both the owner and the pet. Previous clients often mention how relaxed and joyful their pets are when they return home — that kind of feedback means everything to me. Pet care is something I look forward to and easily weave into my daily life. I’m usually up early and start the day with some morning outside time and porch lounging. Being home during the day allows for me to provide regular potty breaks, play sessions, and companionship. Evenings are relaxed with dinner, ample outside time, and plenty of snuggle or training time. Combined with my own pets and also sitting for friends and family for years now, I have gained experience in many pet types and also experience caring for all stages of life-energetic pups to older dogs with special needs. This has taught me how to stay flexible and attentive to each pet’s individual routine, needs, and personality. I genuinely enjoy the responsibility and rhythm of pet care and would communicate regularly with you to make sure your see that your pet feels right at home. My goal is to keep you pet happy and comfortable while maintaining their normal routine while you are away- no matter the type of pet or they’re stage in life. I create a calm, safe, and loving environment for pets in my home. I start by learning their normal routine from the owner and do my best to keep it consistent. This means pity breaks matching your normal, fresh water always available, and meals served on their regular schedule with any needed medications. During the day I make sure they get plenty of playtime — whether that’s friend fun in my backyard with my two pups, play with their favorite toys, or gentle training sessions. I also give lots of affection and quiet companionship so they don’t feel lonely. At night, I provide a comfortable sleeping area (crate if preferred) or free range indoors to pick their own comfy place and I always do a final potty break before bed. My home is fully pet-proofed, clean, and free of hazards. I’ve cared for several friends’ and family dogs overnight and for extended stays, including high-energy young dogs to calmer senior pups and even stage in between. I send regular updates and photos if desired so owners can relax knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.

“Zach was amazing! He watched our pup while our family enjoyed a day at Dollywood. He responded quickly even though it was last minute and late in the evening. His place is only 5 min away from Dollywood, and we were able to enjoy our time at the park knowing our pup was well cared for. We also especially appreciated that he brought his dog out front to do a calm meet and greet on leashes before they went inside. His dog was also very friendly and welcoming. When we decided that we were enjoying our time in the park and wanted to stay until close at 9pm, Zach assured us that he was fine with us coming later in the evening to pick up our pup. Overall a fantastic experience - thank you Zach!”

About: I'm available Mon-Sun!!! I have over 40 years experience, walking, training, taking care of dogs, giving medication. I've been rescuing for years and was a Petco groomer for a little while. I'm responsible and very loving to all dogs to all animals. Being responsible to you I will always be in contact with you through the phone and send pictures of the walks, and or the stay with me. I've taken care of my own and took care of Teddy and Sammy until they passed naturally with cancer. I have Nero and Feisty now. I've also taken care of friends and my families dogs for over 40 years. I walk my dogs every day even when it was cold out for many years. I understand how important it is for a dog to be walked, it's best for their health. I've rescued all my dogs, and have been devoted to the end. My home is clean and spacious, I leash my dog every time he goes out, as I would yours. I have a natural affection and love for all dogs. I take this position seriously, your dog is family and safe with me. I'm not working full time now, so I have the time to devote to you pup or cat. Please give me a days notice. Since we are in heavy tick and flea season please make sure your pup doesn't have any and is treated in case. Thank you I have a backyard with a tether, I go for walks in my neighborhood with mine every day. I'm right by a park and take pups there too.

“I feel blessed for having found Jane. My dog came back home so calm and chill, which shows she was loved and not scared. Jane also sent me lots of updates throughout the day. We will definitely go back! Thank you so much”

“I highly recommend Kristi for your babies needs. Being new to the area and having a new puppy is exciting and scary. Trusting someone with your baby is hard. She was so comforting to me and gave me regular updates. This was the first time I left Chandler with anyone. She has 2 dogs herself and Frankie is the same breed as Chandler. Dachshunds needs special care and she even had ramps to accommodate their backs. I will definitely use Kristi again.❤️💙🩷”

About: Pet care in our home is truly a calling for me. I have over 35 years of experience caring for animals, and I humbly believe God has given me a special gift for working with them. I provide hands-on, attentive care every day, including walking, feeding, basic training reinforcement, and—most importantly—genuine affection and companionship. I offer a calm, structured, and nurturing environment where pets are treated like family, not just clients. I am comfortable working with a wide variety of pets and take the time to understand each animal’s unique needs and personality. Your pet will receive patient, individualized care, plenty of interaction, and a safe, loving place to feel at home while you’re away. Pet care is woven into my daily routine. Between homeschooling our daughter and managing our home and all the projects of our Farm, caring for animals through feeding, walks, training, playtime, and supervision is a consistent, intentional part of every day! I care for pets in our home as if they are part of our family. They receive a safe, calm environment with structured routines that include feeding, walks, playtime, rest, and one-on-one attention. I take time to understand each pet's personality, comfort level, and needs, whether that means active engagement, gentle training, or quiet companionship. Pets are closely supervised, shown patience and kindness, and given plenty of affection so they feel secure, respected, and at home while in my care.

About: I ONLY BOARD FEMALES ☺️ Hello! My name is Mara and I would love to help with your furbabies while you are away and cant! Loving and compassionate towards any and all animals! I am a dog mom myself and know the struggles of finding a safe and loving place while away! I offer overnight stays, dog walking, and drop ins! I have 2 female dobermans who are gentle giants. One is 4 years old and i also have a 1 year old. She LOVES playing and having friends around! Small or large!! I can assure you that your dog/cat would be more than at home here and treated just as my own. I also have a 14 year old son who loves animals as well and really enjoys helping out with their needs. Looking forward to hearing from you! I work from home, so your pet will never be alone or crated all day! I have a fenced in front and back yard that are separated, they are let out very frequently as we go in and out all the time and they go freely as they want since it's all fenced in! There is nothing around my home that isn't safe for them they are part of the family when they are here! I work from home, so I am always here with them! No different from any other day except four extra paws and a new friend 😍 I have a fenced yard. The front is separated from the back so they can go out together or separately. Besides that they run free in my home, possibly crated at night time so we don't have any uh ohs!

“A fantastic experience. We ended up picking Bowie up late. Kristy was so flexible and understanding. Bowie seemed to enjoy the stay as well!”

“Julianne was so wonderful with Andi for doggy day care! Lots of pets, toys, and pictures. Andi got exactly what she needed which was a long nap and snuggles. Julianne was very responsive and easy to work with. Will definitely use her again if ever in town!”

“We LOVE Sam! Finn gets to hang out with Sam’s dog Brody in their backyard and cool off inside for naps during the day! He came home tired and happy. Sam was very easy to schedule and lovely to work with! I would recommend Sam to anyone!”

“Michelle was amazing! She sent me so many pictures and updates. Her pups were so sweet to my Gilli too. It was also really convenient her being right next to the train station. I would definitely book her again.”

About: I’ve worked with dogs for years, starting as a dog walker in Boston MA to then owning my own pet-related business, including Lexi’s Lucky Pup K9 Care in Manchester, NH (2023) and Lexi’s Paws & Peace Grooming in Pawtucket, RI (2025). I have experience with all different personalities, breeds, and energy levels. I’m very patient, attentive, and good at reading animals, especially dogs that are anxious, shy, or high energy. I prioritize safety, comfort, a low-stress environment, and of course making sure pets have fun! I also work in senior caregiving, so being responsible, communicative, and detail-oriented comes naturally to me. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pets, and I try to make owners feel as comfortable as possible through updates, photos, and consistency. I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate different routines, potty schedules, walks, and drop-off/pick-up times. I currently live full-time in an RV in a quiet campground setting - and yes, I know that probably sounds unexpected at first (e) — but it's actually a calm, nature-filled environment with a fully fenced-in yard and lots of supervised outdoor time. Pets are welcome to relax wherever they're most comfortable, whether that's on the couch, on my bed, in a dog bed, outside in the fenced yard, or even lounging outside with me on the lawn chairs getting fresh air. I work from home, so pets get lots of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, outdoor time, and interaction throughout the day.

“Jenny is perfect with our little puppy. She takes such great care of the dogs that she has in her care. She treats them like her own. She updates me on everything. She sends pictures and even videos. We constantly have rebooked with Jenny. We love her!”

“Maddie was so wonderful with my little puppy! She kept me updated all day and provided pictures of his activities. She was very insightful regarding new puppy care and training and was nice enough to answer all the questions I had as a new puppy mom with lots of anxiety! Would highly recommend!”
