Doggy Day Care in Vineyard Haven

About: I have trained, and cared for dogs for my entire adult life. My wife and I have chosen to adopt some of the dogs that had harder times finding homes; senior dogs, dogs requiring medical care, high energy dogs, so we're happy to care for your animal, quirks and all. I can take care of your pets in your home, I am always up for taking them on a trail walk, neighborhood walk, or beach walk when the season/timing allows. And we are able to host pets in our home. We have an indoor kennel space for dogs, a fenced in yard, and they can play with our 3 lab mixes, or not, as you prefer. I work from home, and take care of the kids and pets throughout the day so I am able to pop over to where your pet is, on island, or care for them in home. I am happy to come to your home, where your pet is most comfortable. We also have a fenced in yard, with indoor kennel space

“Kayla took our last minute request for a sitter so we could enjoy our day on the vineyard. She was wonderful! Very responsive, prompt and took really good care of our puppy. I’d use her again in a heartbeat.”

“Rachel was very responsive, sent feedback and pictures and was flexible about pickup and drop off times. She lives in a quiet neighborhood great for walks and got my dog out for 2 of them! My shy dog seemed to settle in and get comfortable with her and Andrew. Overall I was very happy with her care and I plan to use her again”

“Julia and Bryan are awesome pet sitters... Its clear they enjoy what they do, and the picture messages of our dog gave us great joy... Highly recommended.”

“Daniella was fantastic!!! She was very communicative, sent regular updates on our pup (including pics) and was flexible with timing. She even picked him up and dropped him off at our location. She paid great attention to our pup’s needs (he’s a Frenchie who can’t handle long walks or long exposure to heat) and he came back to us healthy and happy. I would highly recommend and use her again!”

About: As a recent college graduate working remotely from home, I’m looking for a dog fix while also helping those who need a break! I’ve grown up with a Chocolate Lab and a Rat Terrier which gave me various experience with little dogs and big dogs. Unfortunately they are not with us anymore which made me want to pick this up on the side! Remote every week day, except Wednesdays. Will be able to give care at any point in day/night except for my 30 minute meetings 3x per week. I have a big room in my office where the dog can play while I work, they will never be alone. The room has lots of natural sunlight and leads into a big backyard!

“Jindi had a great time! Running around in the large backyard was perfect”

“Laurel watched our dog, Eddie, at her home for several hours while we were visiting the area. A couple of days earlier, Laurel watched Eddie for a few hours. Eddie was happy to return to spend time with Laurel and was not anxious at all. To us, that means he felt very comfortable. If we return to the area, we would use Laurel again.”

“Augie loves visiting Sam every week. She gets all excited when we get to his house, jumps out of the car and runs up to the door. He lives close to the beach which is Augie's favorite place to go.”

About: Hi! I’m Joanne, a lifelong animal lover who grew up with pets of all shapes and sizes. After sharing many happy years with my beloved fur baby (who passed away in 2024) and pet-sitting for friends and family, I’d now love to help you take care of yours. I know how important it is treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I gave my own pup, so you can rest assured your best friend is in good hands. I’m also certified in pet Reiki. If you’d like a gentle, calming energy session for your pet, I can offer Reiki as an optional add‑on for an additional charge. It’s a soothing, non‑invasive practice that many owners find helps reduce stress and support recovery—always performed only with your permission and never in place of veterinary care. My pet care days are 100 % dedicated to furry friends. Whether it’s a quick evening visit or a full‑day board, I’m there—no distractions, just pure pet love. Book me for reliable, focused care every time! I’m a dedicated pet caregiver, so my days are reserved entirely for furry friends—no side gigs, just 100 % focus on your pet. Whether they stay in my safe, cozy home or I visit yours, I follow your exact feeding, medication, walk and play routine, keep the environment quiet and secure, and send you a daily photo or short video update so you always know they’re happy. I also offer an optional Reiki add‑on for extra calm (never a substitute for veterinary care). Choose me for reliable, loving, and personalized care that puts your pet’s well‑being first.

“Austin was Amazing! He took Coco at the last minute and helped me through my first use of Rover. I appreciate him so much! He treated Coco so well and sent pictures during the day. Austin was very patient with puppy behaviors and was polite and respectful during our time with him. I felt safe leaving our puppy with Austin and would recommend him highly.”

“We had such a great experience using Eric to watch our dog Floyd while we explored Cape Cod! He was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times, and a great communicator regarding what he was doing while watching Floyd. It was extremely hot for the days he was with Floyd and Eric was very conscientious about not letting Floyd get overheated, and also about checking him for the nasty ticks that are so common on the Cape. I would highly recommend Eric and will definitely use him again when we come back to the Cape!”
