Doggy Day Care in Amys Acres

About: Hi! I am Sarah. I am a mom, business owner, and dog lover living in 7 acres in La Plata. I offer in home boarding and care in a peaceful, low stress environment where your animals can relax, explore, and feel at home. I am currently working on installing a fence, so for now I can do leash walks to keep everyone safe, or supervised play for small puppies since we are acres from the road. If you’re looking for personalized care, space, and a more relaxed environment, I’d love to care for your dog. Dogs are never left unattended for long periods, and I prioritize safety at all times. Dogs get plenty of supervised outdoor time and a comfortable, clean space inside to decompress. I care for pets in home as if they’re part of the family. I can follow each dogs routines, which includes feeding schedule, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions that you provide.

About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and years of experience caring for a wide variety of pets—including dogs, cats, fish, snakes, pigs, and even chickens! Currently, I share my home with three beloved cats—Captain, Haven, and Slasher—and one sweet pup, Lucy, who keeps life fun and full of love. In addition to caring for my own fur babies, I regularly house-sit and pet-sit for friends and family. I'm currently unemployed due to medical reasons, which gives me a flexible schedule to accommodate potty breaks, playtime, feeding routines, and check-ins—even if I’m not staying overnight. I like to start with a meet and greet to get to know you and your pets. During that time, I ask clients to walk me through their routine and expectations, and I encourage leaving a detailed care list I can refer back to as needed. My goal is to keep things as smooth, stress-free, and loving as possible—for both you and your pets. I'd love the opportunity to care for your fur babies with the same attention and affection I give my own. Let's chat about how I can help! Pet care is already a big part of my daily life with my own cats and dog. I plan my day around feeding, potty breaks, and playtime, so adding in care for other pets fits naturally into my routine. My flexible schedule allows me to easily accommodate visits, walks, or overnight stays based on your pet’s needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow any specific routines or instructions provided and make sure pets are in a secure, clean, and stress-free environment. I take the time to build trust with each pet, move at their pace, and keep their daily routines as consistent as possible. I also encourage clients to leave detailed care notes to ensure nothing is missed.

“This was my first experience leaving my pup with a sitter. Ms Tarressa was awesome. She made us feel so welcomed. I would surely use her again and again. Totally recommend.”

About: My husband and I are blessed to have a totally fenced in home with over three acres. I decided to use this blessing to bless dogs to come and run and play. Dogs were meant to run and roam not be tied up. I so enjoy being outdoors and being around dogs. I have always had dogs even growing up with my family. My father had a heart for animals and I believe that is where my love has come from. I have three dogs of my own and each one has a very special spirit about them. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the rescues and shelters walking the dogs there. I also take rescue puppies into our home and foster them until they are adopted into a loving family. My husband and I work together and we have plenty of time to give special attention to your fur baby. We believe in exercising your pet whether by means of walking, playing with their favorite toy, sitting on the porch just hanging out and also then giving the proper rest as needed. My yard is fenced in for protected play time. While inside your pet will be allowed to be a part of household for special time and then I have a separate area where your pet will be allowed to have quite time and rest in a crate or in a area without a crate as needed.

“English was great, my dog loved her. He is big and heavy and energetic, and she had no problems with him. Would recommend!”

About: Hello, my name is Chareese and I would love to care for your fur baby. I am an avid pet lover with over 7 years of experience and will provide a loving and safe place for your pet to stay. I grew up with animals my whole life and have a passion for pets. I have 1 very cute and very sweet yorkie puppy name King. He is always excited about meeting and playing with new friends. We are home all day, so we will ensure your baby has a great time and treat him like family. I encourage prospective clients to schedule a meet-and-greet before booking to make sure your dog will feel comfortable in our home. Hope to be hearing from you soon. Being a dog mom, I find that consistency makes a great day for my little fellow and for the dogs in my care. We wake every morning at 6am, go for a walk and then spend a little play time running in the fenced backyard. Afterward breakfast is served and the pups can roan around or hang out with me on the couch. I allow the fur babies to spend supervised time outdoors or hang out in the home. Either place have plenty of room for them to relax or roam around and explore.

“This lovely couple was PERFECT. I could not say enough awesome things about them!! They were accommodating for my two babies and I will definitely rebook with them in the future!”

“La Tasha was wonderful. My PJ who has never been boarded was comfortable and didn't want to leave. She kept me updated on his day, and I appreciated that so much. Will use La Tasha again. It's great to know my furbaby was well taken care of.”

About: I’m recently retired and home much of the time. I live in the Golden Beach community. I have three dogs of my own ranging an age from one to almost 17. I’ve cared for my family‘s pets and have completed a basic veterinary assistant class recently. I’m currently kicking off a consultant business that will be done mostly from home, making my own hours, leaving time to care for your pets and get me away from a desk. In addition to my pets, I am a grandmother of six and love, taking care of pets and babies. I am also trained in mental health first aid and in crisis peer support so I take safety very seriously.

“Denise was great and treated our dog like family! Her family was very welcoming at the meet and great and every time we dropped our dog off at her home. He always comes home happy, tired, and content. I would highly recommend Denise!”

About: I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m extremely attentive to routines, moods, and comfort levels, so your pet feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. Most importantly, I'm compassionate and caring. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they need throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening playtime, I’m able to adjust to each pet’s routine. In my home, pets receive a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I follow their usual routines—feeding times, bathroom breaks, and playtime—to help them feel at home. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day while making sure they have a clean space, fresh water, and lots of love.

“Always a great experience. My dog knows when we arrive and gets very happy to be with her friends and sitter.”

About: Growing up, my mom has always had at least 6 cats in the house and 2 dogs since i was the age of 10. I learned from my mom and sister to help take care of our pets and how to take care of them. My friends and acquaintances know how loving my family is of animals so I was always the one they called if they needed pet care. I’ve fostered cats and dogs ( when I don’t want them for myself); I’ve gone to friends houses to care for their pets; I’ve kept pets at my home for friends; I’ve trained many kitties and puppies; I’ve seen the most of it. Let me know what you and your fur babies need so we can figure out a plan! As of now I’m currently available 24/7. I am looking to find a more stable job soon, which will be part time. I can always see if I can work my schedule around yours as well, so let me know! I have a fenced in yard which is great for dogs to run around freely and 2 friendly dogs who do great with other pets and people! I have 6 cats, 2 of which are indoor and 4 of which are indoor and outdoor cats. I do have a room where I can isolate any pets that don’t do well with other animals and if you wish for me to keep them in a crate at any time, I can make that happen! I’m experienced in walking dogs and cats; the harnesses, leashes and all! I can bathe any doggies that might get dirty from an outside adventure if I have your permission and of course if I’m in your home, I’ll be sure to clean up any messes. Potty training isn’t a problem for me and accidents happen! If you have any preferred products you’d like me to use for clean up, let me know! If you feel there’s anything I’ve missed just contact me for further details. (:

“Valerie is wonderful and truly cares about our pup. She is very clear with her summaries of each daycare, provides lots of photos, and really keeps us informed; we love her!”
