Doggy Day Care in Wherrys Crossroads

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for over 20 years. I frequently have watched pets for friends and family. I have trained four puppies and have experience caring for elderly pets. I am off from work during the summer months and am able to provide loads of play time for your pets. I am available seven days a week. I have a fenced-in backyard that is almost an acre in total for your pets to play in. I also have two friendly, playful dogs that are great with cats.

“Paula and Bill were amazing hosts for Otto! He had a great time there and loved playing with their own pup as well. We would definitely work with them again!”

“Kayla is wonderful. My dog loves her and her dog Copper. Love that she is home to keep an eye on the dogs who have fun playing together in her fenced in yard”

“Kristen was great. We are from PA and needed someone for a class reunion evening. We had booked well in advance but did not have realistic drop off or pickup times. She was very flexible and accommodating. My little guy liked her dogs, and that says a lot. Both she and her husband were friendly and courteous. I will use her again when we are in the area.”

About: I’m a very caring person that has had dogs and cats my whole life. I am really good with connecting with them and making them feel comfortable while their owners are away. I have a shaded fenced in back yard with nice soft grass that’s good for paws and play. It’s a safe quiet community that’s good for walks in the park nearby and around the block. Just let me know if you have any specifics for your pet’s likes and dislikes or medications that need to be administered. I’ll do my best to accommodate them and make them feel at home. I’m currently working from home. I’d love to welcome some pet friends to come and keep my company. I can easily step away from my work to be here for your pets needs. I know they’re family and deserve the best of care. I am here to provide that! I have central air conditioning which is nice for hot days. My backyard is fenced in and a reasonable size for dogs to relax and play. I keep my house clean and safe for your pets. No area is off limits here for them to sniff around and find their comfy resting spot. I live in a quiet neighborhood for walking with a park nearby.

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life because I love them more than anyone or anything! I have raised and cared for all ages, genders, and sizes of dogs and cats from puppy to senior, and have extensive experience with all aspects of animal care. I would treat any dog or cat, in my care as my own baby..giving them special protective individual attention...whatever they need and whatever is best for them. I relate to animals and we enjoy each other. My home is geared toward dogs and cats all the way through it with several separate outside runs, and several indoor runs....for cats I have several dedicated rooms and houses and an outdoor protected condo just for kitties! The cats also have their own cat TV playing Cat shows!! I live for dogs and cats!!

“Kristin did a good job caring for Lana. I’m very appreciative of her. She’s obviously an animal lover. Thanks Kristin.”

About: I have done drop in and overnight care for family member's pets for many years. I am a life long animal lover and have cats and/or dogs my whole life. I also did some volunteer care at an animal shelter while in college. I am a stay at home mom of three (9, 7, and 5 year olds) kids who also love animals so I have the availability to provide a lot of time and attention. I have a fenced in yard in a beautiful country setting and two playmates for your pup. Robin is 13 year old chocolate lab mix, who we rescued from the roadside. She gave birth to 8 puppies about 2 months later and we were able to find loving homes for them all. We also have Emmett, who is a shepherd/spaniel mix that we adopted as a puppy during covid. He can be shy around new people, but loves to play with any dog he has met.

About: I have been a lab parent for 30 years and have trained, walked and had many many dog sleepovers. I love dogs and would love the opportunity to care for yours! I am retired and have plenty of time to walk, play and care for your dog. We have a large yard to play chuckit too. I have a very large yard to play with your dog. I can easily crate your dog too if you prefer. I have walked and sat for many other dogs

“With a new puppy and anticipation of an upcoming vacation, I contacted Rikki to set up 3 all-day "play" dates, one per week leading up to our leaving. This way, our puppy would get to know Rikki and her family (and vice versa) and her home, and also know that each time she was left there to play, I always came back to get her and take her home. Well, next week is the big "leave", and our pup Juliet has had those 3 weekly play days. Familiarity has been achieved by all, and I feel a lot better knowing she will be taken care of in a nice family home, a family that she already knows and loves... and we can feel at peace while on our vacation. Thanks Rikki! See you next week. <3”

About: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals—growing up with pets, fostering rescues, and eventually turning that passion into a career I truly love. I’ve worked in both professional boarding facilities and from my own home, giving me experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs—including the anxious, the rowdy, and the reactive. My background in training means I don’t get flustered when “dogs are dogging”—I know how to handle situations calmly, safely, and with care. What makes this more than just a job to me is the connection. I love my clients—both two-legged and four—as if they were friends and family. I take pride in the dirty work, the hard work, and the heart work, because there’s nothing else I’d rather do. I always aim to provide the kind of care I’d want for my own pets: professional, reliable, and full of love. This isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. Each day starts with potty breaks—puppies and dogs with bladder or health issues go first, followed by the rest. Morning feedings come next, and then the day’s activities vary depending on the group. I rotate between walks, training sessions, grooming, structured play, and relaxing time in my fenced-in yard while I work outside. Dogs are crated anytime I leave the house and again overnight for safety and routine (crate training is something I can help with if needed). I maintain a consistent potty schedule every 2–4 hours and can administer any type of medication as directed. This is what I do every day—and I take pride in keeping things safe, clean, calm, and enjoyable for every dog who stays with me. My background as a professional dog trainer gives me a strong foundation in dog behavior, body language, and pack dynamics. I didn’t have to learn everything the hard way—I’ve had over a year of hands-on mentorship with some of the top trainers in the area, and I continue to seek their guidance and sharpen my skills. That experience allows me to manage dogs safely and confidently, even in challenging situations. In my home, every dog is respected for who they are. I don’t let emotional attachment cloud my judgment—I honor the animal side of every dog and prioritize safety, structure, and calm energy. I’ve become obsessed with learning to speak their language, and that obsession shows in how I read behavior, prevent conflict, and create a peaceful environment. Dogs are always crated when unsupervised and at night, and I keep a consistent routine of potty breaks, feeding, medication, enrichment, and rest. Group sizes stay small so I can maintain control and meet each dog’s individual needs. This is a safe, secure, and respectful space for dogs to relax, reset, and be understood.

About: I have had pets my entire life. I have a boxer and a purple currently. I have watched my friends dogs while they are out of town. I have been a teacher for 20 years and I love to stay active, walking , hiking and aerobic sports. I know how hard it is to leave your pets and I would only leave my dogs with someone I truly trusted and that would give them the same love and affection as ibdo every day. I realize how difficult it is to trust someone with your "babies" and that is why I know I am a perfect person for the job. I know that dogs get so excited just to have someone pet them, let alone go on walks when their owners are away. I am a teacher and have all summer off. My own children are grown and independent, so I am able to work at all hours of the day. Having my own dogs, I know how important it is for them to be in their own environment where they are more comfortable and relaxed. Dogs know when there owners are away,so to be in their happy place is very important.

“Sasha was great, very caring her love for animals is obviously! THANK YOU SASHA”

“Hannah took great care of Leo & would definitely have her watch him again. She sent regular updates and was so fast and responsive to messages. Leo doesn’t relax easily around new people, but she made him feel at home & the pictures show how comfortable and well-taken care of he was.”

About: I have a great backyard for your dogs to run around. I love dogs and will care for them while you're away. Your dog(s) will be well cared for! I work from home and have flexible hours. I'm at home to take care of your dogs! If your dog loves water, I have an inground pool for them to cool off in the summers. My yard is fenced in so they can get the exercise needed. I can also crate your pet if needed also. Whatever is best for your pet.

About: I’ve grown up with cats, dogs, and horses and have always been there for family members and neighbors when pet care services were needed. My sister got a puppy last year and I helped raised her, took her on walks, groomed her, etc. My other older sister was a dog trainer for years and taught me a lot about dog training. I’ve got experience with large dogs (grew up with Great Danes) but also small dog experience (had a shnoodle while in high school). I also volunteered at the local Humane Society to take many dogs out for walks, clean their cages, and help get them accustomed to people. I’m a nurse who works 3 days a week and on my off days I’d love to spend time caring for animals. I currently care for my cat but also dog sit for family/friends as needed. I do not have a fenced in yard but I will put your pet on a leash and take them outside as much as possible, especially for walks. As for cats, I will interact with them as much or as little as they’d like! I will clean up if an accident happens, give them lots of pets, and give fresh water and food as wanted.
