Doggy Day Care in University City

About: I have had animals in my house since I was a child. My cats act more like dogs and love to play and have fun yet they can still be calm and cuddly. I would love to create memories with your pets as well! I currenlty spend 3 days working from and can be there for your pet when they need me. They are also able to keep me company as I watch movies or binge tv shows. They are always allowed a cuddle to sleep or a cuddle on the couch. I have a fenced in yard but can also have your dog leashed and taken on a walk or tethered in the yard. They will always have access to food and water and are fed on whatever schedule you would like them to be fed on. Playtime is also my favorite. I have a lot of open space in my home and have a room where they would be able to go if they prefer to not be around other animals.

“Fatima was great with my dog, Sirius! Sirius, a usually shy dog, warmed up to Fatima's home almost immediately...making himself right at home xD I got some great pictures from their day together, which was definitely reassuring as a dog mom. Thanks again, Fatima!”

“Walter and his wife have been so great with my dog! Kenai loves going over there for the day. They have made Kenai a welcome member in their home and even take him out for walks. They’re also understanding of my changing schedule when it comes to early drop offs and different pickup times. I really appreciate them!”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for the last 20+ years. I also grew up with dogs. They have taught me a lot. I’ve met people through my dogs that I wouldn’t normally meet. I’ve had puppies several times and I’ve taken care of Senior dogs with eye issues, dementia, heart issues and anxiety. They have all lived long lives- 13 to almost 18 years old. I love them all and enjoy their company. I’ll take care of your dog as if they are mine. I currently have a young Cavapoo that loves company and we are both excited to care and play with your dog! I current work 100% from home Monday-Friday. I have a fenced in yard where the dogs can hang out and run. I take breaks from work to let my dog out several times a day. I walk my dog in the morning, at lunch and after work. I have a fenced back yard, I can crate or gate them if necessary. When I walk dogs, I make sure they are walked on a leash and I always make sure if we see another dog that it’s safe if dogs get close. If not, I make sure we allow enough distance that there isn’t an issue. Before I feed my dogs I clean out their bowls before each meal and give them clean water everyday. I have had Senior dogs and I was very faithful on giving them their medicine on a regular basis and on a regular schedule.

“Francie was fantastic, plenty of playtime and outside time for my little Gía with other small pups. She was flexible with pickup times and took great care of my little girl. Will definitely use her services again. Thanks, Francie!”

“Our pups had such a good time with Hailie and her partner. Hailie allowed our dogs time to warm up to her and her partner and family dog, took them out on potty breaks, gave them treats, and allowed them to snuggle with them on the couch. She also sent me some great pictures at the end of the night. It’s clear they are pet lovers which is so appreciative. We look forward to the next time!”

I feel comfortable engaging with many different breeds and have incredible patience. I have been been pet sitting and dog for other people's pets on and off for several years. I would love to provide your pet a fun and loving experience! I currently work full time. I can dog sit full time in my own apartment. For dog walking it would have to be part time.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was a little boy growing up! Can't imagine life without them! Currently have one of my own of 8 years now who I trained myself, she is a husky named Lana :) She is a sweetheart! I take pride in being a reliable and kind caretaker who always looks out for safety and happiness first. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes from professional services to watching pets for friends and family. I know first-hand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pup. I love providing that comfort, safety and trust for other people! I just joined Rover because I am currently in between jobs in my career so I am consistently at home and have a very flexible schedule! It helps if I have a day to plan in advance but I can usually take same-day requests because of my flexibility. I have a lot of availability for requests right now! I live in the second floor of a home in a very walkable and residential neighborhood in University City area! I am able to provide walking services, drop-ins, as well as boarding and house sitting during day (+ overnight as long as your dog is comfortable with my dog in the space, she's never had a problem with another dog, I am happy to help introduce them!)

About: I’ve spent over two years dog sitting for two wonderful pups and have had four dogs of my own throughout my life. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I treat every dog like family, focusing on their comfort, routine, and happiness. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or calm company, I’m committed to giving pets the same care I give my own. Since I’m home for winter break, I have plenty of free time to focus on giving pets consistent, attentive care. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to plan walks, feeding times, playtime, and check ins around each pet’s needs. With no school commitments right now, I’m able to be present, reliable, and fully available to make sure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for. Because I have a dog of my own, I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on a consistent routine. I’m very attentive to things like secure leashes, safe walking routes, proper feeding, and keeping a clean, pet-friendly environment. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely so your dog feels comfortable and relaxed in their familiar space. My goal is always to treat your dog with the same level of care, patience, and love that I give my own.

“Alexandra was super communicative and made planning really easy, even when I was requesting from out of town. Thanks again for watching Pinky!!”

About: I’ve been into animals my entire life. I grew up with dogs and horses. I knew I wanted to at some point work with them in a greater capacity. I started helping with rescues 15 years ago and then I started doing wild life rehabilitation. I have had over 20 rescue animals in the past 15 years that became part of my family. Cats, dogs, squirrels, etc. I love them and being able to care for them. My daughter is headed to Veterinary school next fall! I’d like to think the love of animals she has seen in me helped her come to such an amazing decision. Let me love on your fur babies like I do on my 2 doggies and kitty cats!! I am currently available at anytime! I’m flexible with your schedule and can change if needed on things. I do remote work 4 hours per day 3 days a week which offers me the flexibility to be available when they need it anytime of day or night! I am willing to do things the way that you feel is best for your individual animals. I do not believe there is just one standard for caring, it needs to be tailored to the needs of the client/animal.

“Misty and John were very kind to my girls. They were understanding when the one had a stress "incident" immediately upon arrival and they clearly made an effort to help ease her anxiety through the day (she's a total baby and anxious attachment type so new people and places take time for her to adapt to). I am eager to see if my girls grow comfortable enough to use them pretty regularly.”
