Doggy Day Care in Africa

About: We’re a mother-daughter duo who absolutely adore animals and know just how to spoil your pup! We have had our own dog who sadly passed away at the age of 14, and we currently have a very timid and shy cat who usually just stays in my daughter's room when we care for other friends and neighbor's pets. We have taken care of young pups to senior dogs where we had to hand feed the old lad along with his prescribed medicines. So do not worry, both of us have plenty of experience with dogs, we’re all about giving your furry friend tons of love, belly rubs, and fun while you’re away. Your fur child could be on my bed at night if that’s what you prefer, just as he/she is next to you. I work from home most days, and my daughter is home before 3 PM on weekdays, so we’re always around to care for pets. On weekends, we sometimes go to the park or do longer walks if the dog enjoys them. Pets in our home are always get lots of attention. Even though we live in a condo, your pet(s) will get all the care and attention they deserve. My daughter loves staying active and guarantees plenty of walks and runs to keep your dog happy and healthy. We make sure every pup gets the exercise and love they need (no boredom here)!

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly enjoys caring for dogs like they’re part of the family! I grew up with three cats and later had a Beagle, Pippin, who was with us for 14 sweet years. For the past 5 years, we’ve regularly hosted dogs in our home, and we love the joy and energy they bring to our daily life! I work part-time and my husband works from home, so someone is almost always here. This allows us to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and flexibility for your dog’s needs and routine. Whether your pup loves walks, playtime, or just relaxing, we’re happy to match their pace. I especially enjoy daily walks and quiet time on the deck with our dog guests, where they can safely take in all the sights and sounds. We generally only watch one pup at a time so they will enjoy exclusive love and attention while they’re here! We have a large backyard that backs up to a bike path—perfect for walks and outdoor time. Our neighborhood is very safe, dog-friendly, and located close to a park. We also have three responsible teenage boys who love helping play with and care for the dogs, so your pup will get lots of attention and affection. Your dog will be treated like part of our family while they’re here. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and keep you informed so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. I currently work part-time and my husband works from home so we are very flexible and available to take excellent care of your pup! Your dog will be cared for in a safe, welcoming, and engaging home environment! We have a large backyard that provides plenty of space to roam, play, and relax, all while being set in a peaceful area that backs up to a bike path we frequently enjoy for walks. Our home is in a very safe, dog-friendly neighborhood with easy access to a nearby park, giving your pup even more opportunities for fresh air and exercise in a secure setting. Inside, your dog will be surrounded by lots of love and attention—our three responsible teenage boys truly enjoy spending time playing with and caring for dogs, adding to the warm, family-oriented atmosphere. You can feel confident knowing your dog will be in a secure, active, and caring environment where their safety, comfort, and happiness are always a top priority!

“Zach is so patient, calm, caring, consistent, and loving with our puppy as though he were part of his own family. I am more than comfortable and confident leaving him for a day with Zach and his pack!”

About: I have had a dog growing up ever since I was a little girl. I have always puppy sat for past neighbors and family members and treat them as my own! I love dogs, always have and now have my own Bernese mountain dog and chocolate lab! Very available and flexible with time to help care for your fur babies! I can provide as many potty breaks as needed- also have a dog park within our apartment neighborhood! As always I will treat any home I enter with the greatest respect and caution and will welcome mine to any dog I dog sit!

“Clark had the best the day with Sally! I am so happy I am able to leave my boy with her. She clearly made him feel right at home as he went right to play. What I love the most is that the safety I feel she is giving him and the comfort of his own home. She is offering her place so your dog still feels at home while they are away, and that feels really special. It takes a good person to be able to pull that off.”

“Nursah was so helpful and flexible for us while we needed a daytime care option for our dog while we camped. She was very accommodating and understanding of our dogs individual needs. Would definitely book again if we were in the area.”

“WOW! Such a wonderful experience with Kristine!! She was able to help me out LAST MINUTE with my pup! She was SO kind and amazing! She sent updates and pictures that gave me so much comfort! My dog had the best time with her, her family, and her pups! I think my dog would’ve stayed another couple days if it was up to her! I would recommend Kristine’s services 100 times over if I could!!😊♥️🐾”

I am available for booking on weekdays and weekends at any time I have a patio with a roof where they can play all day and spend their energy, I also have everything your baby needs like food and water bolw, bed and a cage if need it

“I had to travel for work and Kayleigh was a huge help for the 2 all day stays Kora had with her! Kora came home happy and I know she had a great time there! Thank you, Kayleigh for giving her lots of love and cuddling her while i was gone. I would definitely recommend Kayleigh and will keep her in mind for future needs.”

About: Have volunteered for Bird of Prey in SC which entailed cleaning the cages, feeding, PR for visitors. Have had corn snakes, hamsters, ferrets, rats, geiko. If you have a shy pet, my services are tailored to YOUR pet’s personality. Retired, therefore I have a flexible schedule for all types of pets. Will accept long term set schedule or shorter - whatever meets your needs. I will watch your pet in its own non-smoking, home environment. Tell me how you want things done and I’ll follow directions. Providing exceptional care is my pleasure.

“Great person, Dante was treated really well with her”

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have been fostering dogs for the past four years, working with a wide range of ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m a current volunteer at the Franklin County Dog Shelter. Through fostering and training required by the shelter, I’ve spent a lot of time learning to read canine body language and understand what dogs need to feel safe and comfortable. I’ve walked and handled dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I focus on providing calm, reliable care you can trust. I understand not all dogs are dog friendly, and traditional boarding is not an option for them. I want to be a safe home, where they can feel comfortable knowing they are the only pet and you have peace of mind knowing they are getting the care/love they deserve. I currently work from home as a graphic designer, which allows me to be home throughout the day and provide consistent care and attention. Because I’m home full-time, I’m available for daycare with plenty of time for play, walks, and downtime. My flexible schedule also makes it easy for me to accommodate both short-term and long-term boarding, ensuring your dog gets lots of love and supervision while you’re away. I live in a safe, quiet neighborhood with great areas for walking dogs. Even if your dog is friendly, I make it a priority to avoid contact with other animals while we’re outside to ensure everyone’s safety. In my home, dogs are welcome on the couch for cuddles and are treated like part of the family. They can free roam or be crated based on their comfort level and your preference. I’m happy to follow any feeding or walking schedule you provide, and I know the importance of staying connected while you’re away. Throughout the day, I will provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while your pup is in my care.

“Outstanding! Will definitely book again for daycare and will also use for boarding. Jake is ready for a nap, came home very happy! Thank you!”

“Our dog can be nervous around new people, but Laken got down on the floor with her and snuggled to make her comfortable. She had her two small dogs who played well with ours. She has a fenced yard and our dog enjoyed running around. We felt like she received good care and looked very comfortable when we picked her up.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life 🐾 For nearly 20 years, that love has shaped both my personal life and my work in animal welfare along with nonprofit work. I have a background in animal behavior, shelter medicine, dog training, and I’m Fear Free certified. I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable with who you trust your pet with, and I would love to start with a meet & greet to ensure both you and your pet feel comfortable with me and that we are a good fit! I only take one client at a time in my home. My golden retriever and I volunteer with a local K9 search and rescue team and specialize in rescuing missing persons. Outside of that, my dogs are my adventure partners. We love hiking, camping, traveling and being outside whenever we can. During the week (Tues - Thurs), I work outside of the home, but I have a flexible schedule and will come home for midday care. My own pets are never left longer than 5 - 7 hours. I have a fully fenced in yard, and out on walks, I will use a secure harness lead for added safety unless you prefer otherwise.

“Alyssa was very responsive, sent lots of pictures/updates and Tucker is nice and tired after a full day of playing! Thank you for taking great care of our little guy!”
