Doggy Day Care in Waterford

“This guy is absolutely fantastic. I have a GSD who I used to have to pry away from me to get him to go to a kennel. He's had a total transformation since coming here. He plays all day, he's allowed to sleep in the bed if he wants to, and when he became anxious, Awoo gave him the extra attention he was looking for. Awoo's calm, gentle demeanor puts both of my dogs at ease. And he makes sure all of the pups have a good time here. I'm so glad to have found this place.”

“Mark & Sylva were great hosts for my dog when we needed a few hours of care while my son toured a nearby college. They were welcoming and kind and did a great job with her. I'd happily book again if we're in Troy in the future. Thank you!”

“George and Kara are absolutely wonderful! They provide me with plenty of updates throughout the day of my new puppy. I love seeing photos of her romping around with the dogs. Their dog simba is a sweetheart. I’m so happy my dog has great sitters and a new friend! Can not say enough great things about them!”

Kristin M.

“Emmaly has an absolutely wonderful doggy daycare. The backyard is perfect for playing and there's a great indoor area, too. Her dog, Jack, plays so well with our poodle, Zappa. Emmaly sends us plenty of pictures and videos so we can see how much fun they are having together. Zappa is so excited when we pull into her driveway.”

“Cheryle is great! She sent pictures during the day which made us feel very comfortable that our dog was nice and relaxed and enjoys being with Cheryle and her dog. Her house is set up very nice and the backyard too. I would highly recommend Cheryle!”

Hardy M.

“Amazing service! Communicates well with me during the day. Sends me photos and feedback. My puppy loves them and is always so happy to see them. I look forward to working with them further.”

“Emily was so professional and loving with our best buddy Ebbet. He can be shy and nervous, and Emily was incredibly patient and thoughtful giving Ebbet time and space to acclimate to a new person. She went above and beyond and we are so grateful. Ebbet loved her, and he is choosy with his love 💗”

“Awesome, awesome, awesome is all I can say about Jodi. She took care of my lab, Browser while visiting my daughter in New York. We had never used Rover.com before so we were very nervous. As soon as I met Jodi, all my anxiety went away. Her vibe was amazing. I knew I made the right choice. Her communication with us was great ahead of time, and her communication with us while Browser was with her was great. Lots of fun pictures. She asked all the right questions about taking care of him. She was very flexible with our schedule. Browser went to Jodi for 2 days. We picked him up and he was clearly happy, and when we dropped him off the next day he ran to her. Jodi made our trip so much fun because I knew Browser was having fun and well cared for. If you are in the area - don't hesitate to call on Jodi. You won't be disappointed.”

About: My love for animals began early on once I rescued my first childhood pet. Throughout my life I have walked and taken care of animals however, my love grew insurmountably when I rescued my first dog (Gordy) myself. Gordy and I loved walking, hiking, going on adventures, and snuggling. Unfortunately, in November 2024 he was diagnosed with a variety of complicated health problems and passed away in April 2025. That journey led me have experience in handling diabetic dogs (giving insulin, being aware of behavioral changes, and giving medication). I also have some experience/knowledge in dog training as Gordy was a canine good citizen. I am acutely aware of how to successfully walk and handle hyperactive pups and love to provide other enriching activities. I am communicative and love interacting with both dogs and humans and I find it important to gain the trust of you as I know all too well how much your pup means to you. I am a licensed mental health counselor who currently works primarily at home. I have a flexible schedule allowing plenty time for a good walk and enrichment while also providing appropriate downtime and attention. While I do live in an apartment, I have access to a number of parks in the Troy area while also willing to travel to surrounding areas for more fun.

“Xena had a great time at doggy daycare with Kimberly. I’d highly recommend her. She kept in contact all day and sent photos and videos. Which is what any crazy dog mom needs! ??”

Victoria K.

“Ripley had a wonderful day with Kristine and Flynn! My girl (and myself) has some anxiety quirks, but between Kristine and her husband being such genuine pet loving people, and how great Flynn is with other dogs, it was truly a wonderful experience. Ripley was happy and pooped when she came home! We look forward to our next daycare and sleepover. Thank you so much again, Kristine!”

Casey R.

“So accommodating and communicative, and my puppy was so happy when I picked her up! I could tell it was a really fun day for her. Kania was so sweet and it is clear that she has a lot of experience with dogs. All in all, she was great and we will definitely be back!”

Michaela O.

“Julie and her dog Maisey are a great fit for my dog with separation anxiety. Julie has been kind, generous and thoughtful with my needs for my dog, Morby. I am so excited to work with Julie in the future. Her dog, Maisey barked for a couple minutes when she first met Morby and I but once she settles and gets to know you/your dog she’s extremely chill and sweet. Her barking didn’t feel aggressive so it didn’t concern me or Morby and her presence is greatly appreciated. Thank you Julie for opening your doors and letting Morby hang with y’all.”

About: Hello! I (Mellysa) have 14 years of veterinary specialty and emergency hospital experience as well as fostering and pet sitting. Prior to that I grew up in 4H and was responsible for farm animals from large animals like cows, horses, pigs, sheep to chickens and peacocks and other fowl. My partner (Chris) and I work together petsitting and own an online business as well. We specialize in patients that have extra needs or need to have medications or treatments administered, but love healthy pets too! We can do daycare or overnight care at our house. We enjoy working with all types of breeds, young and old, feline and canine. For daycare or boarding, they must be under 15 lbs. I (Mellysa) am well trained to be alert and ensure your pet is comfortable and healthy at all times. We will never force your pet to do something that they do not want to do or is unsafe. My priority is for your pet to play safe and have fun! I can't wait to work with your pet! I work from home for my own business. I offer day care or boarding in our home. I love pets of all kinds and have vast experience with almost all, including reptiles! I have a fenced yard with several points of security. The plants are non toxic and no pets go out unsupervised. I take special care to ensure any pets respond well to my two small dogs for everyone's safety.

About: Its been 3 years since I’ve last been on Rover due to having a small child so I’m starting out on here all over again ☺️ My daughter is in school and camp now so I have time to help owners who don’t have a flexible schedule make sure their loved animals are taken care of. I have a big dog of my own who stays in the yard most the day or on the couch! He plays great with other dogs & is also a lover. I am a free spirt. I love hiking , trails, or just walking in the neighborhood. I offer hair brushing, bathing animals, nail clipping/grinding, and can brush their teeth if needed. I love taking dogs swimming at lakes and streams, running, and exercising animals are also some other fun things I offer. I’m full of energy & love animals- my favorite animals are horses & dogs. I am a self employed hairstylist so I have time to help since I make my own work schedules. Since I do not have a set work schedule if my services are needed for longer visits I can definitely make that happen. I’m able to start today or tomorrow and am very excited to help with your little family members 🐶🐱Thank you very much Ali Gant I am self employed so my hours are very flexible. I can also run home fast or to your house anytime to let an animal out for their feeding or walk. I have a safe environment and work on safety in others homes. The collar and leash will be put on before the front door opens so no running out the door is possible. Practice sitting before the door opens is a positive start to any walk.

Nights: Monday, Wednesday, Friday. And on holiday weekends Im available Saturday/Sunday night. Days: Boarding Evening except Saturday:.Sitting. I'm available on Holiday weekends I have a day job but it's flexible. By observing them to get to know them also paying attention to their parents and their instructions and guidelines.

About: I genuinely treat every pet like family. What sets me apart from other sitters is not just my love for animals, but my attention to detail, calm demeanor, and experience with pets at all life stages; from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra TLC Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my days around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I’m consistent and reliable. I keep a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, attention, and routine they’re used to, especially during drop-ins or overnight care. If your pet has a strict feeding or medication schedule, I always stick to it. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets get a calm, clean space with plenty of love and supervision. I pet-proof areas as needed and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. In your home, I respect your space like it’s my own. I follow all instructions carefully; from feeding to playtime, potty routines, and any house rules your pet is used to. I’m also mindful of securing doors, leashes, and gates so your furry friend stays safe. I always keep you updated with photos and notes, so you know your pet is happy and cared for.

About: I have a young pup myself! She is four years old, and I always take her for walks, to the dog park, beaches, etc! While taking care of her I have watched other dogs, or have taken them out for quick breaks, etc. She loves the company, and I love it too as well as being able to help a fellow doggy mama or father. I did take her to training so I have some skills in training puppies or any age as they can always learn! This is a home with another dog so I will need proof of vaccinations for boarding or daycare, and can only board/watch dogs that are socialized around other dogs and enjoy their company. So happy to help, looking forward to playing with more pups! I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to help out! I can board dogs any day of the week, but just know the days I work they will be caged in a large cage during my shift or until my partner is home for the protection of my dog and yours. My dog is extremely social and friendly in fact she likes dogs more than people, but I want to be safe and keep them separated when no one is home. They will never be left alone for more than 4 hours, if that, for the days that I work. For walking services I am available during the morning/afternoons, and some evenings just reach out whenever and I'll let you know! Same goes for daycare. I understand sometimes things come up, so don't hesitate to reach out for same-day service! I'm always looking for a new adventure, so I know a lot of walking spots, and even some water spots for the dogs that love to splash! I also have a partially fenced in back yard, but I have a line that I would use for the dogs to play. If comfortable with me driving, I do have two doggy seatbelts, and know of other places to take the dogs to play, but I have plenty of local dog parks and walks nearby if driving is not something you'd want me to do with your dog. Trust me, I get it! When we're done with our adventure, I have plenty of toys to play with in home. Again, for boarding services, depending on the days needed for boarding, I may have to work. The pup will be caged for safety purposes of both parties, but never more than 4 hours.

“Jessica took great care of Reggie at daycare! He had a great time playing with her lovely pups and came home exhausted from a fun day.”
