Doggy Day Care in Windrush

About: Dogs hold a special place in my heart — especially rescue pups. My own dog was rescued from Kosovo, so I know firsthand the patience, love, and extra TLC that rescued dogs sometimes need. For 10 years, I’ve been the go-to person for walks, feeding, bathing, and all-around tail-wagging good times. Shy, anxious, or high-energy — I’ve loved them all. I don’t just watch dogs, I get them. Expect real-time photo updates, happy zoomies, and one very tired, very content pup waiting for you when you’re back! I work from home full-time, which means your pup is never left alone! I’m available for walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the entire day — mornings, afternoons, evenings, you name it. Flexible scheduling is my middle name. Your dog will feel right at home with me! I have a spacious yard where pups can run and explore freely. I also have an 11-year-old dog of my own — a calm, gentle companion who’s great with visitors. The yard is not fenced, so I always supervise outdoor time closely to make sure every pup stays safe and sound. Your dog’s safety is never left to chance!

“I was grateful our girl had a few furry friends to hang out with while her brother was in surgery. She did well as usual and seemed to be having fun.”

“Olivia is wonderful! She took care of our little puppy Millie and was extremely understanding of her needs. She sent us photos and checked in with us frequently about the puppy. We had a great experience and will continue to stay in touch with Olivia. This was our first time leaving Millie with someone and she made the experience very comforting!”

Dianne M.

“This was Missy's first time with Kristina. We were kept posted on how Missy was fitting in, and she sent reassuring pictures. We look forward to using Kristina's services in the future and have, in fact, already booked a more extensive stay. It went well; we were very pleased with Kristina.”

Tom R.

“Jennifer and Family are simply AMAZING!! She has this high rating/feedback number for a reason. My dog was well taken care of and got many pictures and texts during the stay. A+ Thanks Jennifer and Family!! We will be booking soon again!!”

Steve L.

“Karen was able to help us out at the last minute and was such a huge help! She sent updates throughout the day on how Winnie was doing and her antics. She was flexible with our pickup and Winnie came home exhausted from a full day of play!”

Summer J.

“Duckie had the best time hanging out with Erin. She is incredibly attentive was very in-tune with my dogs wants and needs. Duckie will see her again very soon!”

Casey T.

“Monize took great care of Mitch. He had a very busy day during his stay with her. I appreciated the updates and photos and hope she can watch Mitch in the future.”

Rob C.

“Stevee was super sweet, my puppy Ella was eating up the attention! Will be reaching out to her again for future boarding and daycare.”

Justine C.

“Alyssa and Brian could not have been more kind, accommodating, and understanding ( I always over worry ahead of first visit and need to talk through every detail…). I (and my often anxious rescue shepherd, Gracie) felt incredibly comfortable almost immediately. They were also able to quickly establish a peaceful pack amongst the couple of dogs in their care (they don’t overload their home w too many as some seem to…) Judging from Gracie’s demeanor when I picked her up (she kissed Alyssa!- not typical for Gracie:) as well as the photos they sent (including a much appreciated, very reassuring photo shortly after I left), Gracie clearly was very happy, relaxed, and seemed to very quickly love them both. Grateful for their care and would certainly recommend to others !”

“Xuizhen is soooo loving toward Ginny and greets her every Tuesday like a long lost friend. Ginny loves playing with Goofy - and the spoiling she gets from Xuizhen and her family. 5 stars for sure!”

About: I am a proud mom of two rescue dogs (Apollo and Stella) and two kids, my daughter (Isabel) and my son (Jack). I have had dogs my whole life. Animals are a passion of mine. I have experience with everything from puppies to seniors and also dog training. I have a fenced backyard which has been great for getting my dogs acquainted with other dogs and it gives them the space they need to run around. I am also at home most of the time. My husband and I work from home and have few errands to run throughout the day. Apollo is a 45lbs German Shepherd/ Basset Hound mix and Stella is a 9lb Chihuahua so I am accustomed to dogs of varying sizes. Both dogs, especially Apollo, love other dogs! I am a real estate professional who works from home most of the time. Because I have two dogs myself, I am letting them out often and I get to spend a lot of time with them. I have a large wooded fenced in yard. My dog, Stella is friendly but likes to snuggle up with me more than playing with other dogs, while Apollo loves to play with other dogs. He’s young and energetic so he will keep your fur baby entertained. My dogs sleep in our bedroom and are crated when we leave the house. Wherever your fur baby is accustomed to sleeping is where I will let them sleep to make sure they keep their routine. My husband and I work from home so I’m usually at home where I can let the dogs out often. My two kids go to a school that isn’t in our district so I leave during the day to go to carpool. Then I’m home to finish work and feed the pups. I have a fenced yard and two dogs to keep guest pups company. If your dog is accustomed to being crated, that’s fine. If not, that’s fine too. I do not allow dogs to be together while we aren’t home unless they come from the same family.

“Tempest is great with Millie. Millie was so happy to see her today. She has separation anxiety but Tempest has managed to work through that with her. So happy to have Tempest keep her for me.”

“Melissa helped administer medicine for our 13-year old shih tzu while we were away. She also checked in and was friendly with our grandmother(who had stayed home but was unfamiliar with giving our deog her medication). Melissa definitely helped us rest a little easier on vacation, knowing that our old pup was getting the medications she needed.”

Alyson F.

“Scott and Elizabeth have been phenomenal with our two dogs! They seem to have a great time and it makes a huge difference knowing we can drop them off for the day somewhere safe and they’ll be cared for. 😀”

Ronan B.

“Great dog sitter. Very accommodating and kind.”

Stosh M.

“I can't thank Allison enough! She was incredibly reliable and provided exceptional care for my puppy, Cheeni. I always felt at ease knowing Cheeni was in her capable hands, and the frequent updates were so appreciated. highly recommend Allison to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.”

About: I absolutely love dogs and treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I have a dog of my own, Mocha, who is very gentle and great with other dogs. She loves having friends over and helps create a calm, welcoming environment for visiting pups. I offer overnight stays, boarding, and dog sitting, and have experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments. I’m especially comfortable with puppies, highly anxious dogs, and pets who need medication or a little extra attention. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine and personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I work remotely, as does my husband, so your dog will have consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. Our flexible schedules allow us to maintain a steady routine with plenty of time for walks, play, and rest. We typically take our dog out 3–4 times per day, including at least one longer walk (around 30 minutes or more) in the morning or evening. We are available for boarding on weekends and are able to provide a calm, structured, and attentive environment that fits your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a spacious home where dogs can relax, explore, and settle in comfortably, along with access to both a front and backyard and a very walkable, quiet neighborhood that is ideal for safe outings. I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s specific needs, whether that includes crating or not. We typically crate our own dog at night, but visiting dogs are welcome to sleep wherever they are most comfortable, whether that’s a crate, dog bed, or couch. I have experience caring for puppies, anxious dogs, and dogs that require medication, so I’m attentive to behavior, routines, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure all dogs have access to clean water, comfortable bedding, toys, and a low-stress environment. I also prioritize communication and will keep you updated so you feel confident your pet is in a safe and caring home

About: I have always owned both cats and dogs and consider them to be some of the most treaured family members. I currently have 4 furkids- 2 dogs and 2 cats. I am reliable and dedicated to giving premium care to your pet! **update- I started my own consulting business but work from home and also keeping up with pet sitting. I have decided not to do one-off daycare sit since it is too much of a disruption. If you are an existing daycare client, message me and we can work it out. If you have an ongoing need for daycare a few days a week, I am happy to discuss that. I am currently on hiatus from corporate america and not working full time. While taking this professional career break, I have decided to spend time fueling my dog/cat "needs" by helping other pet lovers and offering mature, quality care. I have plenty of time for pet walking, drop in visits, having compatible pets stay with me at my home, or house sitting most days. My husband and daughter can handle our fur kids when I'm loving on your pets. My home: we have large fenced in back yard and two dog/people loving dogs to keep them company. If they are potty trained, we invite overnight guests to stay on couch or bedroom as they feel most comfortable. Must not chase cats, since we have two indoor. Your home: You set the rules here. My nature is to treat your pet, like my own... which basically run the house! Im that person that sleeps on 6inch of my own bed so my dogs can comfortably stretch out. (Lol- truth!) As few or as many pictures you want me to text you- just let me know.

About: My name is Ashli. I've had ALL kinds of animals all my life! Guinea pigs, 25 year old leopard gecko (that was one of my other geckos babies), tortoises, and fish. My kitty, Blue, was 21 and died in my arms. I rescued her from a box in front of the pet store where I worked in college. I currently only have my tortoises and leopard gecko. My TipToe passed in November. 😢 My children, who are college graduates (my son starting vet school), love animals and take care of pets as well when they are home. We have neighbors who we watch or walk doggies for on a regular basis. We only watch small dogs due to the size of my home and yard. So, if you have a little one then this is the place for them! No worries about being bumped around by a larger pup. My fee is higher, but my clients are fewer and your pup is guaranteed not to have larger pups as companions here. I am a great choice for your little one. My neighborhood is very quiet and I'm a homebody! 😄 I do require a "Meet and Greet" before booking for new clients. I require the name of your vet and proof of vaccines and canine Bordetella. Vaccines and other treatments: It is YOUR responsibility to make sure your pet is up to date and has its shot for canine cough. I do NOT treat my yard for fleas (nor do I fertilize the backyard). Please make sure your pet is on a flea/tick preventative. I do have rabbits and squirrels that regularly visit my yard. If your pet is on meds I will administer oral or topical medication. I’m sorry, but I won’t do shots. Food: I will only feed your animals what you have given to me. Please, provide dog bowls, food, and treats. I do have extra bowls in case you forget. I also have American made treats to provide, but I will always check with you first. Sleeping: I don't use crates. If you require one for sleeping, you must provide. I have several dog beds but bring your own as well. That way they have a familiar smell. I do allow dogs in my bed, but usually just one at a time. Grooming: PLEASE READ If your pup is regularly groomed, make sure they are groomed before dropping off for boarding! All pups, ESPECIALLY those new to boarding, can get upset tummies from time to time. I will bathe them free of charge if this happens. I would NEVER leave them unclean. If they are not groomed, bathing when this happens is not fun for them 😥 (nor me) and stressful when they are already out of their comfort zones. I will charge $35 each time they need a bath if they are not groomed. At the very least keep area trimmed around his bottom and tail even if the rest of his hair is long. Thank you for understanding! 🙏 I aim for a very pleasant happy stay when your pup is with me.💕 Outdoor Access: My backyard is fenced, very secure and gates are locked. If your dog is an escape artist or digger, please, let me know! My backdoor has a screen that they can go in and out of. The door is open when weather permits. Walks: If weather is not too hot, cold, or rainy, I may take your dog to the park or walk along the river. This is all cleared with you beforehand. Please, bring a harness and a leash. I do not feel safe taking dogs on a walk with just a collar. Other Pet Types: If you have other animals that need boarding or looked after like rabbits, guinea pigs, lizards, birds, turtles, fish, cats, I have experience with all sorts of animals. I am also a Master Gardener and can take care of plants inside and out. The fees vary for these services. So, please, feel free to ask. My Home: I keep a very clean house, and it is very well taken care of. I do not leave dog food lying around. Fresh water dishes outside and in daily. My wooden stairs have treads, but I will carry elderly dogs up and down if necessary. I have gates up in certain areas to prevent escapes or from going somewhere they shouldn’t. I will send photo/text updates. I'm fairly flexible! As those that have used me before would attest too. If you have a missed flight or traffic problem and require an unexpected overnight stay it usually is fine. It would just require another nights charge. Drop-offs and pick-ups can be anywhere between 6:45am and 7:30pm. I am a little flexible, but much earlier or later would require an overnight stay. All animals are fed and let out before I leave for work. As soon as I return they are given treats and let outside to run around. I am home a lot so my backdoor is usually open. They run in and out while I am inside cooking or working on art. Mostly they just want to be where I am which is fine by me! 😋 We let animals stay on our furniture... that's why only small dogs. :-) If your dog is elderly we will not let on furniture out of fear for hurting themselves jumping off. If you want your pet to stay in a crate you must provide it. All pets are fed in separate areas. Water is refreshed daily or more often if needed. We also have toys... as some of our guests have found favorites and go back to them when they come over again!
