Client Spotlight Interview: Stay Dog Daycare

Written by Kathy Dise | Sep 29, 2025 1:45:00 PM

Nestled in the heart of Cleveland’s Gordon Square Arts District, just steps from the breezy shores of Lake Erie, Stay Dog Daycare is more than just a pet care facility—it’s a haven for dogs and the people who love them. Open 24/7, Stay offers daycare, overnight boarding, and full-service grooming, making it a one-stop destination for pet parents with busy lives and big hearts.

Born from a Need, Built with Love

The story behind Stay is as heartfelt as the wagging tails that greet you at the door. Seven years ago, co-founders Amy and Sara found themselves in a bind. Amy worked third shift in manufacturing, and Sara was a volunteer firefighter—both needed a reliable, flexible place to care for their dogs during odd hours. When they couldn’t find one, they built it themselves. Their shared love for animals and commitment to quality care sparked the creation of Stay Dog Daycare, and it’s been thriving ever since.

More Than a Kennel—It’s a Canine Retreat

What sets Stay apart is its deeply personalized approach. From private boarding for anxious pups to cozy “living room” setups for dogs with special needs, every detail is designed with comfort and compassion in mind. Add-on services like extra walks, grooming treatments, and chew bones make each stay feel like a spa retreat for your furry friend.

A Visit Full of Wags and Smiles

When the BudgetEase team visited Stay recently, we were instantly smitten—not just by the adorable dogs, but by the vibrant energy Amy and her team bring to the space. It’s clear that Stay is built on love, dedication, and a whole lot of tail wags.

Less Time Crunching Numbers, More Time Belly-Rubbing Dogs

Outsourcing their bookkeeping to BudgetEase has helped Amy and Sara focus on what they do best: caring for dogs. “It’s one less headache,” Amy shared with a laugh. And when you’re running a 24-hour operation filled with fur, fun, and lots of heart, that kind of support makes all the difference.
