Doggy Day Care

Welcome to PawsbyK! I’m Kaitlyn, a dedicated dog sitter with over 16 years of experience caring for small dogs. My dog boarding service is specifically designed for dogs weighing 15-20 pounds, offering a cozy, home-like environment where your pup will feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away.

Need a safe, fun place for your small pup during the day? My doggy day care is perfect for dogs 15–20 pounds who need companionship, supervision, and play while you’re at work or running errands. Your dog will enjoy a cozy home environment with plenty of attention, potty breaks every 0–2 hours, and outdoor playtime in my secure, fenced yard.

I keep my group small to ensure every dog receives personalized care and lots of love. Whether your pup prefers lounging or playing, I tailor the day to their needs. Picture updates are sent throughout the day, so you can stay connected and reassured.

Flexible drop-off and pick-up times available between 8 AM and 11 PM. Reach out to schedule a spot—space is limited!

Exclusion

Doggy day care is not available on specific holiday dates, as these times tend to fill up quickly and I am often fully booked.

Meet & Greets:

I have a flexible schedule and am available to discuss any specific needs your dog might have. Before confirming any stay, I offer a free meet and greet, which can be done either in person or via FaceTime. These meet and greets are typically held outside my front door, allowing you, your pup, and me to get acquainted in a relaxed, safe environment. This gives us the opportunity to discuss your dog’s routine, any special requirements, and to ensure that both you and your pup feel comfortable with the upcoming stay.

If you’re unable to meet in person, I’m happy to arrange a FaceTime meeting at your convenience. It’s an important step to ensure you feel confident and comfortable leaving your pup in my care.
