Doggy Day Care Will-O-The-Wisp

“Emily was awesome! Super quick to respond, has the sweetest pup, and was flexible with my schedule for pickup/dropoffs! She sent updates with photos and I could tell my dog was very comfortable with her 😊 I loved knowing my pup was getting all the attention she needs when i had a busy day so I’ll definitely book with Emily again!”

“Kym was fantastic. We will be using her again for a trip this September. We are very cautious who we trust with our puppies and would not bat an eye at using her again! ”

“Lukas and Copper fell in love with Jenn as soon as we arrived! They were quite comfortable staying when I left them for the day. When we picked them up they were relaxed and not trying to leave right away!! Fantastic meet and greet.”

“Olga and family took great care of Juniper for a long day of doggie daycare. She had a great time playing with the other dogs and slept hard when she came home! Thanks again, Olga!”

About: I am an animal lover that works from home, so I will always be around. I'm just looking to help you care for your pets while you are away. No complicated stuff or pricey add-ons here! About me - my husband and I have owned two beautiful Vizslas over the last 17 years and recently lost our 2nd one. I love animals, have plenty of experience caring for high energy and senior dogs (we cared for our dogs with arthritis, Cushing's Disease, muscle atrophy). I love walking, hiking and spending time with animals. I have a large 1 acre property and spacious home. No other pets, just me and my husband. I am perfectly happy caring for one pet at a time if you prefer your pet to be the only pet with me. I have also cared for friends' pets for a long time as well but am adding my services here to the Rover community. Thank you! I work from home full time, so I have a lot of flexibility. I am able to take breaks often during the day for potty breaks and walks. I am home almost everyday, but I do go out on weekends for a few hours at a time. I can bring your pet along on hikes and picnics if your pet is able to join. I prefer pets that can be left at home for at least 3-4 hours at a time and unattended. If not, we can discuss. Crates may be needed if they are unable to roam around the house alone. I have a large property, but it is unfenced, it is far from the road and our area is very very quiet, almost zero cars. I can keep your pet on a leash for potty breaks if they are prone to running away. My house is spacious and has two floors with just the two of us and no other pets. The stairs and floors are covered in non-slip rugs for pets. There is a baby gate to keep your pet away from stairs if needed. There are extra rugs for the floors if needed (our senior dogs used to slip a lot). I also have a large deck that is fully enclosed - no exit route. Since I am home almost all the time, I can take your pet for a walk and let them keep me company at home on the couch too! I can also come over your home and care for your pet there as needed (depends on length of stay requested).

“Rosie was well care for. This was her 1st visit with Amber and seemed to adapt very well and was very content. We are looking forward to future bookings with Amber.”

“Kayla was super sweet and my dog had an absolute BLAST! Awesome setup where dogs can roam outside in nature. Highly recommend. Thank you!”

About: My childhood dream job was to become a zookeeper. I did everything I could to get close: volunteered at animal rescues, pet sat whenever possible, interned at a vet clinic. Plot twist: despite everything, I did not end up workin g at the zoo. Instead, I became the weirdo who'd rather hangout with the pets at house parties and I've never met a furry friend I didn't like, even the "challenging" one. I've got my own little family of fur babies: been a cat mom for the last 9 years. And last year, adopted a senior dog who is a dream wrapped in floof. I don't have formal training credentials, but I am obsessed with how to tend to our furry friends with attunement and compassion. I work from home which means your pet has company most of the day and I do my best to help them feel at home wherever they are. Pet care fits naturally into my WFH routine. I'm available/ flexible throughout the day, with good weekend availability as well. I have some fixed commitments that shift week to week, but I keep my calendar current and won't book what I can't fully show up for. My home is a quiet, nature-forward neighborhood in Evergreen, nestled in the kind of place where a walk around the block feels like a small adventure. No fenced yard, but since I work from home, we make up for it with frequent neighborhood walks throughout the day. For boarding, I tailor the setup to your pet. Some dogs get full run of the space. Others do better with a slower introduction and defined zones. I follow your lead and theirs. My own crew: one very social senior dog who has a particular gift for putting nervous dogs at ease, and two cats who are more selective. If your pet and my cats need space from each other, we have the rooms to make that work comfortably. I'll always ask about your pet's needs, quirks, and preferences before they arrive. The goal is for them to feel at home.

“Katrina was great! Will definitely have my pup spend more time with her.”

About: I’ve been raising, fostering and rescuing dogs for the past 13 years. I’ve been through all the dog life stages and dealt with all varieties of dog behavioral and medical issues. Everyone I know says that in their next life they want to come back as one of my dogs-spoiled to no end! I work for myself and mostly from home so I am very flexible with my schedule and my ability to spend a lot of quality time with you dog. Also, I have about 10 fenced in acres up in the mountains that is a great place to bring you pup for some off leash playtime if that’s something you’re interested in I have a lot of space in my home and also over 10 fenced in acres to explore (with supervision, of course). Outdoor play/ walk time at my house can be on or off lease depending on what you are most comfortable with

About: I grew up with big dogs all my life (mastiffs specifically), which sparked my love for animals. From about May 2021 to August 2022 I fostered rescue animals, and in that time, I was able to help ~50 different animals. How did I do that exactly? Well, my house was a small shelter, as some people liked to call it, we had an open-door policy for any animal in need. With that being said, I have had experience with big dogs, small dogs, energetic dogs, reactive dogs, scared dogs, tripods, entire herds of puppies and kittens etc. There really was not a dog I couldn't handle, and I loved them all. Now I foster for a big dog rescue so my specialty is the XL doggies. I have a Great Dane foster fail of my own now. In addition, I have had endless experience giving dogs/cats medicine and know every dog has their quirks, so really nothing will surprise me or be too much. ASK ME ABOUT MY ANIMAL WEDDING CONCIERGE SERVICES Currently home 24/7 so I can attend to all your pets needs. Me and my dog engage in daily walks; regular exercise can be expected. Dogs: To ensure safety, I can feed dogs separately or crate them during mealtime—whatever works best based on your preference. For flight-risk or reactive dogs, I take proactive measures to prevent issues before they arise. While your dog plays or goes potty, I’ll stay outside with them to ensure no one tries to escape or gets overly feisty. I’m also mindful of maintaining a hazard-free environment by keeping items like toxic plants, choking hazards, or unsafe materials out of reach. Every dog has unique quirks, so I’ll always ask about your pup’s personality and the best ways to accommodate their needs. Dog walking: I prioritize safety by keeping a respectful distance from unfamiliar dogs, as it’s impossible to know how friendly or healthy they are. To keep walks engaging and fun, I like to explore different routes, providing new experiences each time. I adjust to your dog’s pace, whether they prefer a casual stroll or a brisk walk. Additionally, I allow your dog plenty of time to sniff and explore, which is mentally stimulating and helps them return home relaxed. I stay alert to ensure their surroundings are safe throughout the walk. During hot weather, I’m cautious about pavement temperatures, testing surfaces with my hand and avoiding asphalt to keep your pup comfortable and safe. Cats: For cats, safety is my top priority. If your feline friend is an escape artist, I’ll be extra vigilant to prevent any breakouts. If your cat tends to nibble on things they shouldn’t, I’ll make sure their environment is safe and free of hazards. I have experience caring for cats of all ages and needs, including administering medication when necessary. I also strive to create a calm, stress-free environment by maintaining their routine and respecting their unique preferences. Safety, Trust & Environment: I always ensure your pet’s environment is clean, comfortable, and free of hazards. Food and water bowls are refreshed regularly, and I create cozy spaces for rest and play. If I’m administering medication, I follow your instructions exactly to ensure your pet’s health and safety. Communication and trust are central to my care. I’ll provide regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I take the time to build a relationship with your pet, ensuring they feel secure and happy in my care. Whether your pet is full of energy or prefers quiet time, I tailor my approach to meet their needs and provide enrichment to keep them content.

“Definitely recommend and will use Brandi again to look after my dogs. I was able to go to work with a great sense of peace of mind knowing my fur baby was in exceptional hands. 6 stars if I could!”

About: I owned and cared for pets my whole life and know that every animal deserves to feel safe, comfy and loved while you're away. I offer boarding in a cam, caring home as well as drop-in visits for cats and dogs. My schedule is very flexible, so I'm often available for same day or last minute bookings. I don't need advance notice, only for cancellations. Whether it's playtime, meals, meds, walks or just a little loving company. I'll treat your pet like my own. My goal is for you to have peace of mind and for your pet to have the care and attention they deserve. I live 15 minutes from Chatfield dog park and am more than happy to take your dog there for walks and exercise. Pet care is already part of my day. I build my routing around feeding times, walks, play breaks, and quick check-ins. I'm used to adjusting my schedule, so pets get steady care and attention throughout the day, and I keep owner updated as I go. In my home, I create a calm, safe space. I have a 6" fenced yard for play, a pet friendly dog and cat for company, and can crate your dog if that's what they need. When I'm in a clients home, I stick closely to your pet's routine, meals, walks, meds, and lots of attention, so things feel consistent. And if your pup loves adventures, I'm just 15 minutes from Chatfield Dog Park and happy to take them out for safe, fun exercise. I focus on clear communication and regular updates so you feel completely at ease while you're away.

About: Many years of house and pet sitting in a variety of locations and with multiple animals. I value giving care with love and knowing my clients can feel safe and comfortable leaving their pets with me! I currently do not have pets so this will help to fill the void in my heart until the day I can have one of my own. Thank you in advance!! Brings joy to my day! I am devoted to creating the time to care for your pets. My schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate you and your pets needs. I am attentive and caring in nature, I will make sure whatever needs of each individual pet are, they are met. I am fun, adventurous and respectful to not only what the pet needs but how the client wants the pet to be taken care of.

“I used Amy as a dog sitter for a couple overnight ski trips. My pup was in good hands, had a great time, and came back happy and tired! She kept me updated throughout his stay. Glad I found a trusted sitter who my 10-month old golden seems to like a lot! Will definitely continue using her in the future!”

Anna W.

“Large yard for our dog to play and run around, he had a great time and was tired when he got home. Danielle sent pictures throughout the day, I would definitely recommend her.”

Nicole H.

“Odin loves staying with Jillian, Oreo and her family. I think he likes it better with her than with us... Highly recommend Jillian! 5-stars all the way....”

“Anjani was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She was so warm, communicative, and sent lots of updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog can be a little anxious, but Anjani made her feel right at home in such a calm, caring environment. I could tell she was genuinely well cared for, and I felt completely confident leaving her there. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Anjani again and highly recommend her!”

Maya S.

“Steven was a great rover! We had a last minute cancellation and he was gracious enough to take us last minute for day care. I have an old 3 legged dog and a young energetic dog and he gave them their own individual attention based on their different needs. Constant updates about walks and playtime with photos made me very comfortable leaving my boys with him. A little pricey but we totally understand considering the late notice we gave. Would use Steven again!”

Kaitlyn B.

“Courtney and Chris were great! Courtney had fast and excellent communication and cared for Luna well. I was even sent home with a painting my dog did, so cute. I’ll definitely use them again.”
