Daytime Dogs & Friends LLC

We needed someone to come to the house twice a day to sped time and feed our beloved dogs while we traveled out of state. We had a bad experience with boarding because they had never been boarded before and ended up loosing weight. As you can imagine, a very small dog loosing weight is not acceptable and we needed a different solution to our need other than boarding with a veterinarian. We decided to contact Chuck and set up a meeting with Brooke who came to the house to meet our baby girls. The care that she gave our girls was phenomenal. Our girls are picky eaters and Brooke got them to eat daily and they gained the weight back. This was a major win because getting them to eat was one of our main concerns with the dogs being fed by someone they were not accustomed to. Brooke treated the girls as if they were her own. She sent daily text massages and photos telling the day story and we enjoyed that very much. Being pleased does not even begin to express how grateful we were with the level of service provided. Being able to customize the visits to our needs is one of the highlights of this company. We have found the right solution and will be using the services with future travels.

Very caring people. I trust them with my pet when I'm not there.

We had never used a pet-sitting service prior to this. We have always either had someone we know watch our dogs, or boarded them. But our 3 dogs are getting older (7, 8 and 12), and they don't seem to bounce back from boarding as well as they used to, so we decided to give this a try. First, we needed someone to stay with our dogs for the week of Christmas, and we didn't start looking until November (not too smart). But we got really lucky that Daytime Dogs had availability that week. Chuck, the owner, as well as Heather, who would be staying with the dogs, came out to meet us and the dogs to make sure it would be a good match and that we were comfortable with them. We liked them both so we made the reservation from Dec 22-30th, with Heather staying each night from 7pm to 7am (we had a neighbor come over to let the dogs out during the day). Heather was willing to send us texts, pictures, emails or whatever we might have wanted to confirm that our dogs were OK. We were busy where we were, so we didn't ask for frequent updates, but she did respond immediately to any text I sent, even when she wasn't at our house. Since we were obviously gone the whole time, I can't say what happened during the stay, but what was important to us is that the dogs seemed happy and calm when we got home. Lately when we've gotten them from boarding they've been wound up and it has taken days to get them back on their schedule, but it sure seems that Heather kept them to their normal routine and they never missed a beat. It was a little odd to have someone we didn't know stay at our house, as I'm sure it's strange for them to stay in a stranger's house, but it seems to have worked out really well and we will definitely use their services in the future. They also do more routine dog-sitting tasks like coming by to take them for a walk if we are stuck late at work, or taking them for outings, so we will be trying that as well. We really appreciate the great service that Daytime Dogs provided, and thank Heather for taking such good care of our dogs.
