Doggy Day Care in Ballplay

About: Welcome to Pecor's Pups! My wife and I have a lifetime of experience caring for all sorts of animals. We love dogs, especially. I have a veterinary care background, as I used to be a vet tech. I also have a Zoology degree and am experienced with various different types of animals and the care thereof. We have an energetic - yet very gentle - Golden Retriever and a rambunctious Great Pyrenees mix so all dogs staying with us must get along with other dogs. We would be willing to separate our pups for periods of time to give your little guy/girl one-on-one time, if that is your preference. We do have the ability to block off areas of the home to separate (from my dogs, or if you have more than one dog and they need separation) if needed. We have a large fenced in yard that is treated monthly to prevent fleas in the area. They can get all the playtime they need! If you don't wish for that, though, then that is not a problem either. I have a very comfortable environment for any and all animals who stay with me, with several dog beds that are washed and sanitized after each stay (and in between often) as well as tons of puzzle toys and enrichment activities if they're interested in that. Otherwise, we will just cuddle and hang out! I will stay strict with any and all schedules (feeding, treats, play time, potty time, medicines, etc) that you provide, but if you don't have a specific schedule for your dog, then I will put them on my dogs' feeding, play, treat, and potty schedule (except for younger or older puppies that may need a little more accommodation in that department) I am very easy-going and easy to deal with. I will also send as many updates via text as you want, with photos and "report cards" of your little ones activities for the day. We also provide baths, nail trims and ear cleanings! Let me know what you may need during your stay with us! If you have any further questions about me or our home and/or our dog and the services we provide, do not hesitate to reach out. We own two businesses from home (Pecor's Pups and another business) so we have a lot of time to dedicate to your pet(s) and their needs! I have a fenced in yard and two floors (the downstairs is currently under partial construction to make Pecor's Pups even more accommodating and cozy!) I can separate pets if needed for whatever reason, and there will be a lot of space outside for pups to roam whilst also being completely contained in the safety of my backyard.

“Mocha had a great time with Nicky and their pet Nugget. She would send regular updates and pictures through out the day and well cared .The big fenced backyard and Nugget is a big plus. I would definitely recommend Nicky anytime. Nicky is the best I can ask for Mocha”

“Reah and her husband are so great! They take wonderful care of my pup, Kida. Kida is always relaxed and happy when I come to get her. They have taken her for walks and they are forgiving of my work schedule. I’m so happy to find good people to take care of my pup! Thanks Reah!”

“Victoria and Charles were fantastic. I was worried about my little Otis being anxious about being left as he has serious separation anxiety ( OK, we both do ! ) but as Victoria and I were chatting - Otis happily bouncing around exploring her and Charles' lovely lawn she teased him over for a pet and before I knew it he was in her arms - looking very happy I might add! I had a few things to transfer from my car to my sons - typically high stress time for me, trying to keep track of Otis - who won't get more than a step or two away, so I don't step on him. He just go cozier and cozier and sunk lower and lower into Victoria's arm. I guess I wasn't surprised to receive a photo by text, of him laying in her lap before it was even dark out. Pick up was easy - Victoria and Charles' garage door were open and it was lit like a beacon in the rainy night - just a quick report from Victoria ( he's fine ! ) as it was a long day and we were on our way. This is my first chance to reach out and its been three days - sorry guys! Do you need a sitter? Are Victoria and Charles available? Book them!! ( I'd even settle for just Charles : 0 : o : ) . Victoria and Charles are my first choice - looking forward to letting Otis trim their lawn again.”

“Cassandra was wonderful! We usually only leave Bailey with family but wanted to go to Dollywood for the day. She immediately eased my nerves by sending me reports, pics, and a video! I also appreciated that her house looked immaculate in the pics! It made me feel like Bailey was in a great environment! Totally recommend!!!”

“Stephanie and her family is such a blessing. My high energy pup got to run around and get some energy out while I was at work!”

About: My husband, Clifton Hicks, and I work from home and have experience with dogs, cats, pigs, guinea fowl, chickens, hampsters, guinea pigs, ducks, fish and goats. We are originally from Georgia and FL, we formerly worked for the National Park Service and US Forest Service and have settled here in SE Tennessee. We have each experienced a life time of pet care before and after meeting. To us, animals are angels! We have 1 well behaved, friendly one year old male cat and 1 mixed brindle eleven year old dog. Clifton works from home as an instrument builder, and provides banjo lessons to his clients across the globe. I am a real estate agent and I have a home office and an office at Weichert Realtors in Etowah, TN. We enjoy helping people and animals! And they are our priority above all other tasks. Clifton and/or I are home at all times. We are happy to help on short notice and have a flexible work-life schedule. We enjoy using amazon and walmart delivery because we can spend more time at home building the farm :D. Indoor space include, full access to the living room, dining room and kitchen. For outdoor space, we have 3+ acres, a screened in patio, 3 outbuildings, and 1 large kennel. We encourage good behavior with treats and patience. Our verbal communication is calm.

“This is the fourth time I’ve used Victoria and I couldn’t be happier. She’s extremely flexible with my schedule and always takes such good care of Juno. Juno gets tons of attention and exercise playing with Victoria’s puppy Stark and I can tell that she loves going over there based on how easy it is to get her in the car on the mornings I take her over there. I can’t recommend her enough. She’s a great sitter for a great price”

“I feel blessed for having found Jane. My dog came back home so calm and chill, which shows she was loved and not scared. Jane also sent me lots of updates throughout the day. We will definitely go back! Thank you so much”

About: I have trained and had dogs until last year. With my travel schedule it isn't fair to keep an animal boarded. I haven't met many dogs that aren't drawn to me. They are a better judge of character than most people. I work from home and only leave yo go deliver quilts or to the fabric and grocery store. I need a reason to take better walks and naps. I do not have a dog currently, and my yard is not fenced, but am a huge fan of leashes and walking cords to give dogs their space to do their business.

“Melissa was helpful, kind and dependable and loves her dogs. Our dog did fine with her and her dogd, and if we are in the area and again needed a place for our pup, we'd call on Melissa again.”

About: Along with dog sitting and walking, I have been a dog walker at the Blount County Animal Shelter for about 2.5 years now. This (other than my previous bookings) is all volunteer work, and I love taking care of the dogs there that have no home and I would love to take care of yours too! I also own a dog of my own, a French Bulldog named mochi, who is very playful and would love to play with your pups! I’m relatively free at any point an time, minus 1 hour in the morning, and one in the evening to walk someone’s dog, so your fur baby will be getting plenty of attention from me! :) I have a pet French Bulldog named Mochi who would love to play with your pets! She is high energy but can entertain herself if your dogs are not. We have a fenced in area so your furry friends can run around and play! Otherwise, I can walk your furry friends at a park or around my yard. :)
