Doggy Day Care in Artanna

“We recently had Tina watch our toy aussiedoodle Roo. I can happily say that Roo did well on her first day of daycare. Tina has a wonderful fenced in yard, a beautiful open concept home with lots of dog toys for their enjoyment. Tina is a very knowledgeable sitter and I will definitely use her again for future daycare visits and boarding.”

“Samantha was amazing! She took our pup in for doggy daycare last minute, was so kind and caring, and took fantastic care of our pup! She sent me updates throughout the day with pictures and was so flexible and accommodating to meet our pup’s needs and provide him with the best experience. He loved running and playing with her dogs and came home so happy! Would 100% recommend her and will definitely be using her daycare services again!”

About: Growing up I have always cared for our family pets. Today I have 3 rescue dogs of my own. My pups are apart of my family. I volunteer to transport dogs to a safe homes. Animals of any type depend on their humans to care for them. When their humans can’t be there for some reason they still need that special care and attention. I have always struggled when leaving my dogs to go away. What do I do with them? Who will care for them like I do? I would like to help people to be at ease knowing your pet will be well taken care of in my hands because I understand what it is like to have that worry. I will care for your pet as though they are mine.

“Our experience with Jamie was fantastic from beginning to end! I am always a little anxious when I leave Hank (especially when it’s somewhere new) and I felt at ease leaving him in her care. Hank had a great time going on walks and playing with her dog Bailey. He was snoring the second he laid down when we got home! Jamie was quick to respond, thoughtful, and flexible. We got so many cute pictures & even a to-go treat bag too! If you’re a nervous fur parent like me I highly recommend booking with her!”

About: I have taken care of animals for most of my life. From rescuing kittens from under my grandmas porch to raising and taking care of a farm now! Your pup will be well taken care of and have a blast on our homestead. I’ll update you with pictures through out the day while your fur-baby stays with us! Family friendly dogs only, as I have 5 kids myself. I’m currently working from home, so I’m fairly flexible. Your dog will have constant attention and care for all their needs. They will lack nothing! We live on a big farm (100+ acres) with a long driveway so there is no risk with the road. I have a dog playpen as well. Your dog will be very safe and well cared for!

“Jill is very friendly. She sent me a picture to show how lake was doing. Lake had a great time and loved playing with her dog.”

About: I grew up with a black lab, Macey and a Chihuahua mix, Tootsie and took care of them from when I was young until around the age of 16 when they passed away. I also regularly dog sat 5 dogs at once- all with specific needs, diets and medications before the family moved away. I am comfortable with high energy dogs, I will happily administer medication, and we have 2 acres of fenced in land for your dog to run and play! I am a flight attendant so my schedule varies- usually I work 3-4 days a month and they are never the same. Request and I’ll accept if I’m not flying that day, but other than occasional work I’m pretty much always home! We are not an available to dog sit Sunday mornings but afternoons and evenings are free. I would love to have a dog but because I’m a flight attendant I know I couldn’t give it the consistency and love it would need- however, on days I am home I would LOVE to have a furry friend to play with. We would be happy to host your dog(s) and let them run around our fenced in back yard, explore the barn, and roam the house. We only accept dogs that are good with children and that are potty trained. We have a large kennel if your dog is crate trained and you would like us to use it, but as long as it’s good with kids it’s free to explore. We can administer medication, give treats, and share lots of love and we hope you’ll trust us with your beloved pups ❤️ P.S. my favorite breeds are corgis, labs and golden doodles :) but I’m not picky, all dogs will receive equal love 😉

“Allison and her son took very good care of Willow. My pup had alot of fun with their dog. Will definitely use services again.”

About: I'm a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule and a love for small dogs! I've had Chihuahuas since I was 12. I currently have one who is well socialized and gets along great with other animals. A day in our home is filled with cuddles, exercise, and playtime. I make sure to provide lots of photos and videos of your pet during their time here because I know pets are part of the family and how hard it can be to be away from them. The dogs in my care will have full access to my home. We will provide multiple daily walks and follow whatever schedule you provide to keep them feeling comfortable and at home here.

About: 🤓 Hi, I’m Joey! I bring a lifetime of experience caring for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, and a horse. Growing up, we raised over 20 cats and 2 dogs. With a natural connection to animals, they often gravitate towards me. I've been providing pet and house-sitting services for friends and family for years with a wide range of dog breeds and sizes including Yorkies, Shih Tzus, German Shepards, Austrailian Shepards, French Bulldogs, and English Mastiffs to name a few! 🐾 Important for New Pet Clients: To ensure a smooth and expedited first booking, please request a Meet and Greet at least 24 hrs in advance before your initial booking request. I typically book after the Meet and Greet. This allows for key/key code handoff, awareness on where pet supplies (leashes, food, toys, etc) are, and an understanding of your pets needs. This is essential for a smooth and successful pet care experience. I'm currently part time with a pretty flexible schedule! If I keep booking on here I would love to see about full time and have even more availability for your pets! I'm currently seeking to house sit and visit your home to care for your pets as I don't have a space yet that I feel would be a great environment to properly care for your pet. My goal would be to understand your needs for your house and animal. I'd keep a tidy environment and provide the best care and companionship for your pup or cat!

About: I've had animals for most of my life and I'm a lover of all animals (even the creepy crawly ones though I'd prefer to appreciate them from a distance! ;) ). I have most of my day(s) open and I look forward to giving the same love to your furry friends as I would give to my own. I'm self-employed so my days are mostly my own. My availability is quite flexible. I'm also a big believer in follow-through and am very reliable. I have my own home with a fenced yard. I do not smoke. There are, at present, no other animals in the home (mine passed away)

“Stacia was amazing. She took great care of our dog for the day. She communicated frequently how he was doing, and we could tell that she really cared about him. She has a great fenced yard and lives in a quiet neighborhood to take walks. We absolutely will use Stacia again.”

“Abby was great with Mookie! As a young puppy Mookie is a handful and I work long hours, Abby and her dogs were fantastic. Mookie came home tired, clean, and happy! Thanks”

About: As a dog mom for many years, I know that having a dog sitter you trust is super important. Being away from home can be nerve-wracking for the furrbaby and their parent. I have 7 wonderful years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes (some with past trauma and anxiety). You can trust that your dog will get the love, care, and attention they need! I typically wake up at around 7:30 am take your pupper out to use the fire hydrant, then provide fresh food and water during breakfast time. After working from 9am-3pm I will walk them around Downtown Mount Vernon. After water and treats, I'll usually play fetch, tug-o-war, or run around with them if they're in the mood for playtime. After more relaxation, while I run errands (house chores, etc.), I take your dog out to relieve themselves before the evening routine (playing, working from home, preparing dinner). I take them outside one more time before bed, and that completes a full day in the Rowe House. I care for your pet according to your preferences. Here at the Rowe House, we typically allow pets to nap on the couch and hang out with us while we work at home. I do have a Corgi (Monty) who loves other dogs and have a pretty careful routine with him, so I highly respect any owner that has very strict or more laid-back preferences for their pups. When bathing or clipping your dog's nails, I use positive reinforcement and desensitization techniques. These include distracting them with treats, encouraging/praising them with treats, and peanut butter. I do require the dog to have all vaccines up to date for bathing and nail clipping. Whether or not I can provide these services will also depend on your dog's comfort and anxiety level.

About: I have experienced every step of Animal Care; from my first childhood dog birthing a litter of pups, to end-of-life care more recently with my family dog. Let me know what makes your critter happy, and know that your pooch is in loving, warm hands. I have cared for dogs 3/4s of my 35 years on this planet and even moved a dog back acquired internationally off of the streets of Beirut, Lebanon with a previous girlfriend and trained obedience into the street dog, and to be accustomed to a more sedentary American-Style home living. I am currently shifting from a sales career in finance to a tech career, and am spending some quality time with my parents in Appley Valley for a few months outside of Mt. Vernon before I rewire my focus back to an intensive career-oriented work environment. I am holding off on a full-time job and would love to take care of your pet and give them all of my attention and focus whenever you need me, even if it's an emergency. I have no other work engagements currently as I'm taking two months to catch up with my folks while I transition to a new firm. I have a finished basement apartment underneath a 2600 sq ft. ranch, where your animal children are welcome to relax on my furniture and enjoy an acre of wooded land and a 10-minute drive to Bark Park outside of Appley Valley Lake Community. I can travel and my car is dog-friendly if your creature likes to socialize or play at any of the local parks or dog parks. If your pooch needs a Paw-Wash or "the Works" I have a walk-in shower where we can have your puppy smelling "so fresh and so clean" upon returning the critter to your domicile.
