Doggy Day Care in Upper Deerfield

“Gina had another fantastic day with Beth. She is so good with our old little girl. Day care or overnight, we can always count on Beth to take care of her.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs,Chickens and many other small animals. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, administering medications, cleaning homes and crates, grooming, and providing companionship. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs and routines. Whether it’s an energetic dog who loves long walks or a shy dog who prefers quiet cuddles, I tailor my care to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine by making it a consistent part of my schedule. Each day, I set aside time in the morning and evening to feed my pet, refresh their water, and clean up any messes. I also make sure to give them attention through walks, playtime, or simply spending time together. Weekly, I include tasks like grooming, deep cleaning their living space, and restocking food or supplies. By keeping a regular routine, I ensure my pet stays healthy, happy, and well-cared for while balancing the rest of my responsibilities. Make them feel as comfortable as possible. Offer them treats,food,and attention. I make sure the animals have plenty of room to run around and play,but also comfortable spots to sleep and eat.

About: I have 3 year old collie/heeler mix pup. I can come and walk or run your dog any time of the day and am willing to sit your animals while you are away in your own home, I work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I can also do cat care and other small animals as well. We recently lost my cat of 18 years so I love cats and miss having them around! I also have horse experience, own my own and have been riding for over 20 years. I love animals, all of them (you can ask my husband). I will treat your furbabies as if they were my own and they will get a ton of affection and attention while I visit.

“Raelyn was able to watch our dog with short notice. She was professional and polite. I was nervous because my dog is very energetic and anxious but Raelyn handled him very well. She said she was able to get him to interact with other dogs and he seemed to to well overall. I'd definitely use Raelyn again and I recommend her.”

“Loved how Christina cared for our little guy. We have never left him with a sitter before but as soon we got out of the car to meet her we immediately felt comfortable with her. Her demeanor is very calming and I knew Copper was in good hands. We will definitely be calling her again for future appointments to care for our little guy. So happy to have found her and so close to home for us. Wonderful sitter !!”

About: I do offer boarding at my farm. I only take up to 2 dogs at a time. We do a few walks everyday around the 8 acres. They get plenty of yard time. Every dog gets a specialized program with me and one Free training session. Does your animal need meds? No problem. If I can syringe a horse, I can handle a cat or dog (and have) I also LOVE cats. I have had a many cats in the last 28 years. House cats, barn cats, baby cats, old cats. I currently have 2 cats that were ring worm kittens from Paws. I finished up their treatment and adopted them. I can wrangle a barn cat that’s 1/2 feral to go to the vet or get it’s flea/tick meds. Don’t count me out if you have cats! They like me as much as I like them! I have taken care of pretty much any house pet from rats, to ferrets, parrots and snakes. I have had many tropical fish tanks too. Horses, cats and dogs are not my limits. As long as I’m not previously booked, I will be able to accommodate you. It never hurts to ask. I try to stay pretty close to home so I can fit in as many visits as possible but I do have great transportation. I keep safety in mind at all times. I am always aware when I’m walking a dog and will not let them mingle with other dogs or people. I always make sure water is fresh and plentiful. I am very cautious to avoid and loose animals. Your pets health and care are my career and my number one concerns.

About: Hello ! My name is Amanda and I have been around dogs my entire life. I’ve recently moved into a new house and am looking to get back into helping you and your pets ! I have never known what it is like to live in a house without at least one dog and I don't think I ever will. I started pet sitting for family and friends about 8 years ago and haven't looked back. I have experience with all different breeds ranging from Huskies to Chihuahuas. I also have experience with there being more than one dog in the house so that is no problem. I currently have two dogs, Leo and Koda. Leo is a 11 year old Terrier/Toy Collie mix and Koda is a 8 year old Catahoula mix. I recently added an addition to the family and now have a 1 year old cat named Sushi as well! I a have experience with other animals such as birds, reptiles, rabbits, etc., so I can gladly help out with anything along those lines as well. I would love to help you and your furry friends out ! I can also provide references upon request :) I currently work remotely full time so I am home all week. I am also able to leave periodically during the morning and afternoon for walks and can work remotely from anywhere if house sitting is required. I have a very flexible schedule ! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs. My cat also thinks he’s a dog and is very friendly and social. I also have lots of space if your animal needs to be crated at any point.

“Alex took great care of my puppy! He was there all day while I was at work, I got to enjoy pictures and videos she took of him throughout the day. He went on multiple walks which he loves! She was very accommodating to my schedule and quick to reply to any messages! I couldn’t recommend her more! My puppy can’t wait to go spend another day with Alex”

About: "As a dog sitter. I take pride in my ability to be attuned to dogs with specialized needs. Your dog will receive the highest level of care and attention, tailored to their unique circumstances. I've worked with pups and senior dogs with limited chewing abilities, dogs with separation anxiety who need consistent care and dogs with bowl and bladder issues who need more attentive care. My top priority is doing whats best for your furry friends needs! I have open availability 7 days a week at an affordable price that fits your budget. 1. Initial Assessment: I start by having a discussion with the dog owner to gather crucial information about the dog's habits, preferences, and any special requirements. This helps me understand the dog's routine. 2. Consistency: Whenever possible, I maintain the dog's established daily routine. This includes feeding times, exercise routines, bathroom breaks, and playtime, as familiarity provides comfort and stability. 3. Flexibility: I'm flexible and responsive to any changes in the dog's behavior or needs. If a dog seems anxious, energetic, or unwell, I adjust the routine accordingly. For instance, if a dog needs extra playtime or a shorter walk, I accommodate those needs. 4. Nutritional Needs: I follow the owner's instructions regarding the dog's diet meticulously. If a dog has specific dietary requirements or allergies, I ensure that their meals are prepared and served as per instructions. 5. Medication and Health Care: If the dog requires medication or has health concerns, I'm experienced in administering tablet medications and providing any necessary care. I keep a close eye on their health and notify the owner of any changes. 6. Safety and Comfort: Ensuring the dog's safety and comfort is a top priority. I create a secure environment, free of hazards, and provide cozy resting spaces where they can relax. 7. Communication: I maintain open communication with the dog owner, providing regular updates and photos to keep them informed about their pet's well-being. 9. Positive Reinforcement: I use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior and provide mental stimulation, making sure the dog is mentally and emotionally content. 10. Emergency Preparedness: In case of emergencies or unexpected situations, I have a plan in place to ensure the dog's safety and access to appropriate care. Overall, my approach is based on attentiveness, adaptability, and a deep love for dogs. By closely aligning with each dog's unique needs and routines, I aim to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience during their time under my care!

About: I would love nothing more than to surround myself with your dog(s) while you're gone to provide the care he/she deserves. From a very young age, I wished for my own real dog every time I blew out the candles on my birthday cake or made a wish after throwing a coin into a fountain. My bookshelves overflowed with dog literature and I possessed many life-sized stuffed dogs. Animal Planet was easily my favorite TV network. When I was 10 years old, my dream came true. I finally brought my first dog, Rusty, home. Rusty lived for 16 happy years. Shortly after, my family adopted Cooper as a puppy, who is a Hurricane Maria rescue from Puerto Rico. Currently, I have a 45 lb. lab/hound mix, Hadley. She was rescued from The Delaware Humane Association (DHA). She's a spoiled one! I also have 9 chickens! I can assure you your dog will feel safe and sheltered with me, but most importantly, treated with love and patience. I understand dogs possess different temperaments and personalities as well as come from many different backgrounds. I will adapt to what your pet needs/wants. Dogs are family and my favorite animal in the world! (Experience With: puppies, seniors, deafness, blindness, arthritis, ear infections, food administration, high energy, timidness, training, and more!) I am flexible and enjoy getting to know dogs through meet and greets. Let's set one up! As for scheduling, I try to accommodate you and your pet as best as possible. To remain transparent and make you feel like you're there, I provide detailed Rover cards immediately following visits with photos, and tracking (water, food, pee, poo, etc.).

“So far so great! This was our first booking and it went very well! Shelann was welcoming and wonderful with CLA. She has a grand home and backyard. There was plenty of play at the home and the dog park. More than enough videos and great communication. Definitely recommended!”

“Kirk was incredible to work with. I had asked him many questions and he got back to me quickly with answers. I have been struggling finding the perfect place to take my fur babies when I work long hours or am away for a night occasionally. He was flexible with the hours I needed for drop off and pick up. As soon as my dogs got there they were venturing around the enclosed fence area and seemed very happy. My maltipoo has separation anxiety and you wouldn’t have known it when I dropped her off to Kirk. My boxer is a puppy and Kirk was willing to take on having a high energy puppy for a long duration of time. I can’t say enough good things about Kirk for this being only my first time taking my dogs to him and his wife. I will be booking again immediately and have every intention of using Kirk and Anita for any needs I have in the future regarding doggy day care and/or overnight stays.”

“Kenneth was great with Beau! I had to book last minute due to a sudden change in my schedule for 4 days of doggy day care. Kenneth was more than accommodating and is exceptional with communication. Beau was always exercised (evident by his immediate nap when we got home) and excited to see Kenneth in the AM. Highly recommend, this is a no brainer if I ever need doggy day care again.”

“Great communicator! Kobe didn't want to leave! A+++++”

About: I've personally raised 3 dogs since I was 12, a couple of them since they were 6-8 weeks old. Aside from vet visits I've always taken care of everything else myself from washing and grooming to nail clipping to training. I've watched other people's pets from time to time while their owners were out vacationing and have lived in households with other animals, at one point 3 service retrievers and a raven! I have a great love for pets and can't see my life without them. Right now I have an adoptee, Oscar, that I got at 8 months. He's turning 4 soon. I spend most of my mornings at my local dog park with him, and when my husband and I take road trips Oscar will be right by us every step of the way! I work from home and make my own schedule so the only thing stopping me from going to the park in the morning is bad weather or some unexpected emergency. Owners can be sure their dogs are in great hands with me. I already spend my mornings at a gated park for an hour or so during weekdays where I pick up after the dogs under my watch and keep an eye on their interactions. I'll always have a water spray bottle on me in case of a ruckus as dogs can sometimes behave like children or promiscuous teenagers. While I do know all the regulars at the park owners should be mindful I will run into strangers and how well their dogs behave can be out of my control. To mitigate this I take every precaution in controlling the dogs under my care when introducing them to other dogs entering the park. It's not something I find concerning as I'm accustomed to reading a dog's body language, there is a separate enclosure, and owners tend to be very respectful. The park I go to is a gated field so I will be able to see the dogs at all times. My boy Oscar will be there with me on each trip so there will always be a companion to romp around with. I keep treats in the car for training purposes, and also carry a chuck it with me but I've not had to use it much with how much fun the dogs have! What I'm offering is an enrichment activity for socialization and to help get a dog's energy out in the morning. It's an activity Oscar loves and is often passed out on the couch when he's home.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember I grew up with cats and dogs in my home. I regularly take care of my parent's pets when they are at work or out of town. I run my business at home, so my schedule is completely flexible. I'm happy to visit your dog or cat whenever best for their schedule. I have a fenced yard. I currently have 1 dog and 1 kitty both are very friendly to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. From feeding to playing to walking I'm able to care for your pets in every way possible. I am happy to meet some new pet friends! I will do my best to make your fur feel HAPPY and SAFE!

“Liz is super nice and took great care of my Ollie! She kept us updated throughout the day and sent pictures too. Ollie and her dog, Kyle, got along well too! Definitely will use her again!”
