Doggy Day Care Arp

“Chayna was a lifesaver! I had my normal pet sitter cancel due to sickness (totally understandable) and Chayna was able to watch Argo with short notice - same day! He had a great time and received a lot attention and play time. I hope Argo can stay with her again sometime.”

About: I have years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My background includes EDD K9 handling, obedience training, working bird hunting dogs, and caring for high-energy working breeds that require structure and exercise. I live on 14.9 acres in Madison County, Georgia, providing dogs with a safe, spacious environment to play, explore, and relax. I understand canine behavior, body language, and the importance of maintaining routines that help dogs feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your dog needs active playtime, supervised socialization, or a calm place to stay, I provide dependable, attentive care as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time profession, not a side job. My daily routine is built around the dogs in my care, ensuring they receive attention, exercise, potty breaks, feeding, and supervision throughout the day. Living on 14.9 acres in Madison County, I provide a safe, spacious environment where dogs can enjoy structured outdoor time and plenty of individual attention. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a calm, relaxed atmosphere, I tailor their care to their specific needs. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their dogs are being cared for by someone whose primary focus is their safety, comfort, and happiness. Dogs enjoy a structured daily schedule that includes supervised outdoor exercise, potty breaks, feeding according to their owner’s instructions, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one interaction. Each dog has access to a clean, secure run for rest and quiet time, while also receiving multiple opportunities throughout the day for exercise and socialization when appropriate. Because we accept only a limited number of dogs, we can closely monitor behavior, appetite, activity levels, and overall well-being. This personalized approach helps reduce stress, creates a calmer environment, and allows us to provide the level of care and attention that dogs deserve while their families are away. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and structured home-away-from-home experience where every dog is treated like a valued guest rather than just another boarding reservation.

“Frida did a great job with Bentley as usual. We had a last minute change in plans and Frida was able to accommodate us. Bentley always has a great time at Frida’s”

About: I’ve had pets of all kinds for my entire life. I have always loved animals and grew up learning how to care for them. I also have rescue volunteer and foster experience so I have cared for all kinds of dogs! I’m currently working remote, so I am home all day to care for and spend time with your pets. I am also available for drop-ins and walks at any time! I am happy to do whatever you need to ensure that your pet is well cared for and entertained! I take my own dogs on walks every week!

About: I have been providing care services and working with dogs since before my freshman year in college in 2016-17. Also, recently, I worked on a Research farm to further my knowledge on animal welfare, biosecurity, and the overall well-being of animals. I love what I do and always looking for new and different animals to provide care and I would be most honored! As of right now, pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine/schedule as I am currently working from home and finishing my master’s degree, therefore, I am flexible and available. I provide great and professional in-home care. For example, I am thorough and attentive throughout the stay by following the client’s care information and providing adequate potty and play times as well as any other routines followed in-home.

“Angela is very responsive, sends plenty of updates during your dog's stay, and made our pup feel right at home! Plus she has an encyclopedic knowledge of all things canine. She was even able to accommodate a *very* last minute schedule change with no issues. I would absolutely recommend her for any of your doggy related needs!”

About: As a lifelong dog lover and current online college student, I offer a highly flexible, work-from-home schedule that ensures your pet will have constant supervision, regular bathroom breaks, and company throughout the day. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to your pet's specific stage of life; I am fully equipped to handle the high-energy demands, potty training, and crate routines of young puppies, but I'm equally patient and observant when it comes to the quiet environments and precise medication schedules required by senior dogs. Ultimately, I focus on routine consistency, molding my daily schedule entirely around your dog’s normal habits to keep their anxiety low and make them feel right at home. I work from home and stay around town, so caring for your fur-babies is no trouble at all! If they do well with car rides, I am more than happy to bring them along to run any errands or to the ball fields! I have a large yard, plenty of room inside, two sweet and playful dogs to keep them company, and a 6 year old boy who loves puppy cuddles and all the play time he can get!

“Mikaela is great with our dogs and the setup is perfect for them!”

“We had our three dogs spend a day with Kathrine while we were visiting the North Georgia Wildlife & Safari Park during a week long stay at Unicoi State Park. They say they each give Ms. K four paws up for a fantastic visit for a total of 12 paws up. We unfortunately got a flat tire just before reaching her house, so we had to do a tire repair there and we got to see how quickly our pups calmed down around her as a new person and being in a new location. We definitely would not hesitate to use her again.”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life. I grew up with cats and dogs around the house, so caring for them feels second nature, not a job. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit, a daytime hang, a walk around the block, or an overnight stay, I treat every pet like part of the family while you’re away. I’m attentive to each animal’s routine and personality: feeding schedules, medication needs, favorite toys, or just knowing when a dog wants to play and when a cat wants to be left alone. You can expect regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well-loved. I offer boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-in visits - happy to work around whatever your pet needs. Mornings start with a check-in cuddle and a feeding if it’s their usual time, followed by a walk or some yard time to burn off morning energy. Throughout the day, your pet gets plenty of attention: playtime, belly rubs, and naps on the couch if that’s their style. My son is part of the routine too. He adores dogs and loves helping with walks and playtime, so your pet gets even more love and energy throughout the day. Evenings wind down with a calm walk, dinner, and settling in for the night, with updates and photos sent your way so you can see how their day went. Every pet’s routine looks a little different, and I’m happy to follow whatever schedule keeps them happiest and most comfortable. Your pet’s safety always comes first, whether in my home or theirs. I keep a close eye on pets at all times, never leaving them unsupervised in unfamiliar situations, and I make sure my home is pet-proofed with no hazardous items within reach, and a calm, comfortable space for them to settle in. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and rules, keep the house secure, and make sure doors and gates stay closed so pets can’t slip out. For dogs especially, walks are on a secure leash, and I’m attentive to other animals, traffic, and anything that could startle them. My son knows the same safety rules and never handles a pet without me nearby, so there’s always responsible supervision. I also keep emergency contacts and vet information on hand in case anything unexpected comes up.

“Micheal was awesome! He was super flexible with me needed an earlier drop off and pick up. His dogs were super friendly and Sophie had the best time with them. I highly recommend trusting him with your fur baby :)”

About: My family always had dogs when I was growing up. As an adult, I have always had dogs and cats. For several years I also had a farm with lots of animals. Almost two years ago I got divorced and this is the first time in my whole life I have not had any pets! I am really looking forward to getting my dog and cat fix from your pets! I work from home and am a stay at home mom. This allows me to care for your pets the way I would care for mine. They get plenty of love and attention! In my home, your pets will be taken care of like they are part of our family. I have children so they will be loved on by them as well. We have a great neighborhood for walking and we have a grassed, outdoor area as well. At your home, I will love on your pets and care for them in every way that you would like.

“Angel was amazing with Rue and Ellie! She took excellent care of both of them, took them to the park, and made sure they got plenty of exercise and attention. When I got home, they were completely pooped and clearly had the best time. I really appreciated how well she took care of them and would absolutely recommend Angel to anyone looking for a great sitter!”

About: I've never met a dog that didn't captivate my heart. As a passionate animal advocate, I'm driven to make a difference. I've even gone the extra mile, chasing a dog down the highway to ensure its safety. My loyal companion of 11 years, a rescue dog, left an indelible mark on my heart when he passed away in February. Though I wish I could rescue every animal in need, I take comfort in knowing that my efforts, no matter how small, can bring about positive change. Throughout my life, I've had the privilege of sharing my home with my own dogs, while also caring for the beloved pets of family and friends. The thought of any dog being confined to a boarding cage is unbearable, as I know they're already experiencing separation anxiety. My goal is to provide a warm, welcoming space that makes them feel at home, surrounded by love and comfort. I am a real estate agent and have been for 26 years. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide top-notch animal care services, whether in my residence, yours, or simply taking them for a stroll. Whether I am providing pet care in my home or yours, you can be assured that I am delivering companionship and love to your pet while you are away. Although I do not have a fenced backyard, I will take your dog for a leashed potty break and a daily walk to ensure they receive adequate exercise.

About: Trusted by Family & Friends: Over the years, I’ve been the go to person for family and friends whenever they needed help caring for their dogs, whether for daily walks, feeding schedules, or overnight care. A Lifetime Around Animals: I’ve been caring for pets since I was very young. Loving and protecting animals has always been a natural part of who I am. Full Time & Dedication: Now that I have more time and flexibility, I’ve decided to dedicate my full potential to what I love most helping animals and supporting owners who need a reliable, caring hand. I live in a cozy house with a fully fenced backyard, giving your dog a safe and secure space to stretch their legs, play, and get fresh air. 100% Focused Attention (No Other Pets): I currently have no other pets in my home, meaning your dog will enjoy 100% of my attention without any stress, territory conflicts, or unexpected behavior from other. Your dog will have full access to a quiet, clean, and comfortable environment tailored to their daily routine.
