Doggy Day Care in Wood River

“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter! She was so awesome with our boy and made us feel so comfortable! Great communication and awesome pictures while we were away!?”

“Shannon takes great care of Lilo during my long work days. Lilo even warmed up to her right away and now can barely wait to get into the door to see her 🤣 I am so thankful for all her time and how responsive and kind she is!”

About: I LOVE animals! I grew up on a farm in Arizona surrounded by dogs, chickens, cows, hamsters, and even a few ferrets and a snake! I adopted my own fur baby (an almost three year old lab, Pyrenees, Newfoundland mix🥰) a few years ago, and we are excited to be helping y’all out with your pets! I’m currently not working besides taking care of pets on Rover, so my availability is pretty open and flexible. In very few instances, I may need to request a slight changing in time frame to accommodate for my two kiddos under two (fun times! 😂 ) and dropping off/picking up my partner from his job. All things considering, life as a stay at home mom allows me to be most available for doggy day care and boardings, but if you’re fine with my sister tagging along to help with my away-from-home sittings, I can sit your house for you as well (overnights most of the time for me are a no-go, but I’m a night owl/early bird so I can come and leave early/late, and my sister is able to spend overnights as well if needed throughout most of the week. But you never know so please feel free to talk to me and we can see if we can work something out 😊). If you’re considering boarding/doggy day care, my apartments have a dog park just a short walk away from my unit, so I would be able to provide them with ample exercise, and both my kiddos and my pup LOVE and get along well with other pets. We are also conveniently located only five minutes from the airport, so you can drop them off on your way to vacation and pick them up without going too far out of your way on your way home! I have experience with most breeds, ages, and needs of dogs, and while I’m not trained in any type of CPR/first aid (nor have I ever needed to use it), I have the head knowledge. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions! Thank you for booking with me! Your pets will be well loved. 🥰 NOTICE: I NO LONGER ACCEPT PITS OR PIT MIXES TO BOARD. I HAVE HAD TOO MANY CASES WHERE A SITUATION AROSE WHERE MY DOG OR ANOTHERS’ DOG(S) HAVE BEEN PUT IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION DUE TO A PIT. AS OF NOW, I STILL ACCEPT HOUSE SITTINGS WITH PITS/PIT MIXES. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING. 🥲 As I said, this is my only source of income, so I can cater to the needs of your pet right along with my own with practically nothing to stand in the way! 😊 I treat your pet like my own (yes, they even sleep on my bed sometimes 😂), and I honestly take even more care over yours to ensure the best experience all around. This means leashing them EVERY TIME we go outside and BEFORE any doors are opened, giving them space if needed and around other dogs (not including my own if boarding/doggy day care), etc.

“Second time Chelsea has watched my girl, amazing again!”

“Rachel was awesome and cognitive to the needs of Reese and took great care of him. She’s responsive, prompt and very attentive. We will absolutely be back.”

Kirsten Q.

“Danielle took great care of Saphina and Ellis. They always came home exhausted from playing with all the dogs and were excited to go back the next day. Lots of picutures and videos were sent throughout the day so I knew that they both were having a great day while I was at work”

Marcia C.

“Ms. Angela is great with Ace. She make sure she updates me through the time he is there. He have so much fun when he is with her and Yuki”

PrettyGirl S.

“I can’t say enough great things about Tami. I knew I’d be gone for most of the day and she took excellent care of my high energy border collie/lab, Bella. She sent pics of her playing with another dog which was awesome. I will definitely call her again for all my fur babysitting needs.”

Debra F.

“Ellie is amazing 👏 My pup has so much fun playing with her friends all day and gets sooo excited in the car when she realizes where we are headed 😊 Plus Ellie makes drop off and pick up a breeze so I'm never stressed about work. I am super grateful for her!!”

About: Small dogs? Large dogs? Cats? I love them all. I have worked in the animal industry for years and I love it. I love both cats and dogs, could never pick between the two of them. I have had my own dog, along with my own cats. In the past I have had guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, snakes and other reptiles so really nothing is off limits. I currently work from home, so fitting you into the daily routine and schedule is going to be a breeze! Dog needs more time? Consider in home! I take one to two dogs in home at a time as to not stress the dog(s) out! I can easily crate if needed, but I prefer the free roaming way! Im home all day for work and such, so being free and comfortable is my goal!

About: I have had my own pets since I was a young child. I have taken care of many of my friends, family, neighbors, and church members pets over the years. I love dogs and kitties and believe they deserve to be well taken care of. They depend on us to be good to them and are at our mercy. If they are mistreated they can't say anything. This makes it that much more important to be good to our pets. I am not currently working so I have a lot of free time. I have 6 grown children who are on thier own. Two in college, the rest with their own families. I have one friendly lab mix who loves playmates. A fenced in yard, doggie door, and all hardwood floors so accidents are not tragic! I am within walking distance of our city bike/walking trail for long doggie walks.

About: I have 10 years pet experience. Ranging from having my own animals to walking and sitting other animals! I have experience in administrating medications to caring for animals that need alittle bit more of assistance!! I have also have had the pleasure of fostering many animals such as puppies and full grown pups! I am a stay at home mama to two kids and we love to spend our time with animals and love on them! We are always available to love and care for animals. I care for pets inside my own home and in clients homes just as they would care for their own pets! I am very detailed oriented and will treat your animals with love and kindness!

“Pickup and droppoff was easy. From the beginning she handled Ace with care. Once we got home he laid down which is great because I asked if she could get some of his energy out and she definitely did. She also kept me updated throughout the day which I did appreciate. Will definitely be booking again.”

“Stacie has been great with Ralph!! Keeps me updated on things and just overall great with him. Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve owed and taken care of animals for decades. They are an indelible part of families and should be treated with an abundance of love. I am recently retired and have plenty of time to love and care for animals. Your pet will be treated as a member of my family. I have owned four dogs but they have all crossed the rainbow bridge. I have a fenced yard. Your pet will be allowed on my furniture and sleep in my bed (if they want to).

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 12, I have my own dog that I love and take care of. I enjoy pets a lot. I am currently not working right focusing on school, and I am available anytime to play or take care of your dogs for boarding anytime. I have a fenced in yard, a nice basement area where I will stay with your dog or cat, and I can keep your dog crated as well if need to be.

About: I believe in the Rover motto, loving pet care in your neighborhood. Rover has helped me get loving, responsible, and affordable pet care through the years. Since Covid, I work at home and have the opportunity to provide the same for other pet owners. My dogs have emerged as one of my main extra-curriculars outside of work. Over twenty years ago, I received in-home train-the-trainer training in how to raise gentle, friendly canine companions. I have taken refresher trainings since, and have almost continually used the lessons with my dogs over the years to create a safe, loving environment for them. I would like to open my home to your dog or dogs, so they might also receive calm, loving, affordable day care or boarding in St Louis. I have two fully enclosed yards in which to provide regular relief and play breaks. I walk mine and others’ dogs as appropriate or required. I have experience monitoring pets’ health care as well as administering medication, supplements, and/or treats! I work at home five to seven days a week in my home office. I am available twenty four hours (as much as I am available in my home during that time) for emergencies as well as routine care. I may have to leave the house for an errand or appointment during a day. However, dog sitting and boarding responsibilities will continue to be a factor in my scheduling away-time. I do use crates in my house for my own dogs, mostly regularly only at feeding time. I like crates because in daily life, they give dogs their “own” space for refuge. In a boarding situation with new dogs, having crates (and sometimes extra rooms or bedrooms) can be an important factor in providing a safe environment; safe for the dogs, and safe for a home’s personal property. You should know that I use them for any dog in my house at times, to include your dog, if they are staying with me, for the above reasons, as safety is first. I have been told with an older canine adoptee, that he didn’t agree with crates, but that was not the case once he discovered that that is where he received his meals and could have his own quiet “cave”. There is a lot of well-rested canine energy in my house. The dogs can play in the backyard. We go on regular and sometimes longer, special occasion walks. Often, playing and running in the yard results in tiredness, so cold floors are rested upon, sometimes with bedding, or a sunbeam as a matter of preference. Finally, my mastiff/newfoundland hybrid Chito is not neutered, he is intact. Therefore my home may not be appropriate for a fertile female dog.

I also have a lot of experience with horses and other farm animals I do currently work full time in the veterinary field but my job is really flexible and I'm able to move shifts around and make a plan for your pet! I have a 6ft privacy fence with both gates securely locked. I have 3 dogs of my own that are very dog friendly and love to play. I do kennel my personal dogs for their safety if I have to leave the house.

“Chen took care of my senior pup so well! She kept me updated with photos and details of what went on during my dog’s stay. Definitely would have him stay with her again???”
