Doggy Day Care in Walford

“Trish is a dog whisperer! I am in IC from Colorado to help my mom with surgery and needed a place for my rowdy 8 month old Aussie/Great Pyrenees to play during the day. Trish loved her like her own pup and sent lots of updates. Hazel came home tired and smiling every day.”

About: We have had 2 dogs for quite some time. Cody always had a pet in the home growing up and we have had our dogs since they were puppies (the oldest is 8 years old). We are willing to give any medicines and we brush our own dogs teeth at night, so we can do yours if you would like! Cody works from home, and Ashley is home most of the time so we will be willing to work with you and what your pup needs! We have a single family home with a fenced in yard and 2 fur babies ourselves to keep your pet company! We also have a doggy door to the backyard if your pup knows how to use it :) We do not crate our own dogs but are willing to crate your pup if that is the preference. We usually take our dogs on 4 walks per day, lasting about 30 minutes each walk plus free roam in the backyard.

“Awesome sitter! Was nervous about leaving my puppies either anyone but he kept me updated and made me feel more comfortable! Will definitely be rebooking!”

Gage M.

“They were very accommodating to our schedule. It was extra special with the pictures she sent, we were able to see how happy and how much fun our puppy was having. If in the area, we would definitely reach out to her again. Thanks Emily!”

“I felt so comfortable leaving my new puppy with Beckett!! He had a great time and was loved on and enjoyed playing with the other pups! Would definitely recommend!😊”

Nadia M.

“They were great with my dog! He got to spend time outside and enjoyed playing with their dog. He came home tired and ready for a nap, so I’m sure he had a great day. Thank you so much Bobbie and family for taking care of my boy! I’ll definitely be back for doggy day care in the future.”

“The service Ali provided is exceptional. Banksy gets exposure to other dogs, exercise, and training while staying with Ali. Working in the medical field is not always conducive to getting Banksy the mental and physical exercise he needs- Ali provides these and has always been able to work around my unpredictable schedule. I consider myself a routine customer ?”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other furry friends since I was 7. Many of my friends and family have entrusted me with taking care of their pets. I have dealt with a wide range of dogs, no matter the age, size, or breed. I am capable of handling more than one dog at once and have had hands on learning when it comes to reading animals body language. I have trained puppies as well as had a senior dog who needed to take meds of a strict schedule. I also currently have a special needs cat! I absolutely love doing this and the animals I work with. It brings me joy everyday and I can’t imagine doing anything else. I’m currently a full time pet care provider! I have completely open availability and can provide services from 7am-10pm. Feel free to message me about my current availability! Pet care differs from pet to pet but somethings remain the same for all pet care. Making sure pets have fresh water, feed when needed, potty breaks, and of course most importantly love and attention. Walks - depending on your animals needs walks can look very different. Some dogs like the same routine and route everyday while others want to just smell the whole world (or at least the whole neighborhood). Animals are keep on leash the whole time unless in a fence in area such as a park. I keep a close eye on them to make sure they are not getting into anything they are no suppose to and to keep them as safe as possible! I try to avoid busy roads if at all possible to keep animals safe as that is my number one priority. Drop ins - depending on your animals needs drop ins can look very different. Some animals are couch potatoes and so I let out to use the bathroom, and the rest of the time is filled with lots of loves, cuddles and attention. On the other hand, some animals are filled with energy, so they are let out to use the restroom, and then they get lots of play time! In both case animals have supervised outside time to keep them as safe as possible. House sitting - depending on you and your animals needs housesitting can look different for everyone. First and foremost, I am quite busy during the day, but I will never go longer than an eight hour away. However, I try to stop by at least every 4 to 6 hour during the day! Usually in the evenings I am home with them just as you would be if you were there. I try to stick to your animals normal routine as much as I am capable of! I leave your home just as I found it (or better) and love to leave some treat behind. At the end of the day I try to care for your animals as if you were there and to treat them as my own!

“Ashleigh is amazing as always! Super accommodating for last minute requests like this one where it started the same day and dropped her off within an hour of sending the request and was able to watch her the whole week. And overnight last minute one of the days! Luna is excited every time we pull into her diverse and clearly makes herself right at home! Couldn’t recommend Ashleigh enough!”

About: I have had a dog almost all my life and they have always been a passion. This summer I got the opportunity to volunteer at a dog boarding facility and learned how to care for dogs from puppy to senior and aid in medications they might need. I also got to work with the trainer and can help teach basic commands to dogs. I work full time as a nursing assistant. I can’t have any more pets myself and I would take care of your pet as if it were my very own. I will take the pet for walks, depending on weather will determine the length as well as the pet. I would also be willing to wash the pet for the client and help out in any way I could with them.

“Great communication, easy going, sent update photos and her dog is very friendly. Would send Paco to her again anytime.”

“Emily was super great with my pup! She took him early in the morning and she & her dogs wore out mine! I have never seen my 9 month old dog so tired and worn out. She took lots of pictures and replied quickly throughout the days!”

“Fantastic care giver for our dog. Equally fantastic person for dealing with scheduling uncertainties, changes, etc. Will definitely try to have her care for our dog the next time we’re in the Cedar Rapids vicinity. Thanks, Ashleigh!”

About: I've always been passionate about dogs and can hardly remember a time when I didn't have one of these amazing, loyal companions by my side. I've been dog sitting for friends and family members for the past five years, and I've enjoyed it so much that I've decided to branch out so I can meet even more fur friends. I also do dog training/owner coaching, and I believe it's never too late to teach a dog new tricks. I work part time, and most of my work is done at home, so I'll have plenty of time to spend with my fur friends. I have a huge back yard with a 6 ft privacy fence for ample room to run and play and even a doggie pool to splash around in to stay cool. My house is a couple blocks down from the trail for my fur friends who love to go for walks to get some of that extra energy out.

About: My experience includes behavior modification, rehabilitation and foster care. Since I was my daughters age I have been pet sitting and working with animals and would like to share the experience I work at home everyday but Thursday. We are available for dog walking and live close to a park trail and we are looking for a family interaction. Crate services, roaming and family integrated home. We are able to walk your animals and provide check ins. I know how animals are part of the family.

About: Family and Friends have called me the “dog whisperer”, because I am able to connect with their pets so easily. I feel pets are such a big part of your family; your baby, your little one, or your child almost. You would be entrusting me with the care of this most precious part of your family. I love to be down on the floor giving the fur babies my undivided attention … whether it be petting, playing, belly scratching, brushing, or loving on your fur baby. I Love to be face-to-face and making a connection with the pets. I am also a walker myself, so I I love to be outside walking your pets. I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible. My schedule is able to be put on hold for periods of time, if more time and attention are required or needed. I am able to leave to walk your fur baby, pet-sit at your place, or take care of your fur baby at my home. Pet care is as on-hands and giving as much attention to your fur baby as you wish. I am ready to love them as much as they want and need. I do live in an apartment with places surrounding the building to take dogs outside to potty. There is a new dog park just a block from where I reside. My building is a secure building that is locked with cameras everywhere in the hallways. There are long hallways in my building with very few residents and lots of room to run inside when weather outside is not good. I am able to leave as often as needed to walk dogs. Also, I am able to care for your fur babies in their own home or at my residence.

About: We want to make sure your pet has all the love and attention and will be very safe while you are away. We have no other pets in our home and your pet will receive 100% of our attention. I work from home so I am available at all hours. We have a large backyard with lots of room to play and we also take a couple of walks a day if your pet enjoys that! I currently work from home. I will be available to take care of your pet at all times. We can discuss your pets needs and see what is perfect for them while they stay in our home. Your pet will be part of the family. We have a large yard and garden they will have access to. They will be walked daily. We will treat your dog like it’s our own. Love, kindness and plenty of fresh air and exercise is what we do!!

“Great! I felt safe leaving my 7 months puppy with him. Really caring, loving and asked questions to make sure my puppy got the care that I wanted exactly!”

About: I’ve had a family dog since my sister brought home our first pet a dashound puppy. In the following years I’ve had 7 more dogs to love and care for. I now have a little Cairn Terrier mix who adores other dogs and is very gentle. I will make sure your pet is safe and well cared for in my home. He/she will be fed, walked, etc. according to your instructions. I never worry about accidents. We will walk outside weather permitting and/or just hang out with plenty of cuddles and fun. I will contact you as many times as you want during the time your pet is with me. I can administer meds if needed. I am a retired teacher and I’m home most days and evenings for drop in care or overnight care. I will follow all instructions you have and you may contact me any time of the day or night. I will make sure your pet feels safe and cared for with as many potty breaks as needed. Your pet will be fed & watered on the schedule you have at home. I have many toys available or you can bring your own. Treats provided at your instruction. Exercise and walks given once a day. I'm a retired teacher so I'm home day and night unless for errands. I watch Dog TV and other dog shows if your pet enjoys that. If I walk the pet I will need a good leash & collar. Also my home is pet proofed meaning nothing is on the floor or counter that they could get into.
