Doggy Day Care Baugh Spring

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family member. I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment where pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I am comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering oral medications if needed, and making sure each pet’s routine is maintained to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with companionship, I’ll make sure they feel loved and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind throughout their stay. I stay home all day, this way I have time to take care of dogs because I just love to be with them. I love walking with dogs. I’m very punctual and responsible. Count on me for special treatments like giving medicine, taking care of your dog with attention and love. I live in a quiet neighborhood and there’s a lake 2 minutes walking from my house.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 19 years. I've cared for three senior dogs of my own in the past, two who had chronic conditions. I have experience administering medication and providing special care. In addition, over the years, I've gained experience caring for the dogs of other owners. I'm retired and home full time. Your pet(s) will have all-day care. I'm fully devoted to caring for your pet(s). Your pet(s) will be pampered and spoiled as if he or she was one of my own. Your pet(s) will receive multiple potty breaks throughout the day. In addition, pet(s) will get daily play time in large fenced backyard and if requested, daily walks. I have a half an acre fenced backyard, so plenty of space for your pet(s) to run around and play. Clean dog beds, and if preferred for sleeping, crates with beds for all sizes. For the length of the stay, your pet(s) will be able to make himself or herself at home.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home where my parents bred Boxers, so caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels became second nature to me from a young age. Throughout my life, I’ve always had pets of my own, and I’m also the person my family turns to when they need someone they trust to care for their animals while they’re away. I currently have three English Springer Spaniels of my own, so I’m VERY familiar with energetic, playful, affectionate—and sometimes very needy!—dogs. 😂 I understand that some pets need much more than a quick potty break. Whether yours needs a good walk to burn off some energy, lots of playtime, extra cuddles and attention, or simply someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My experience goes beyond dogs, too. I’ve cared for cats and currently have a snake of my own, so I’m comfortable around a variety of animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs. I also have firsthand experience caring for pets who need a little extra attention. One of my own dogs is prone to recurring skin issues, so I’m very familiar with the additional care that can come along with that. I’m comfortable following established care instructions, including medicated baths and other routine at-home care, when provided by an owner or veterinarian. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, mobility, or anything else that seems unusual. If an emergency were ever to occur while your pet was in my care, I would never hesitate to contact you and seek appropriate veterinary care. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always come first. I know how stressful it can be to leave your animals with someone else, so I want to give you the same peace of mind I would want when leaving my own. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s normal routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and all their little quirks rather than treating every animal the same. I’m dependable, attentive to the little things, and happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Most importantly, I’ll care for your animals the way I would want someone to care for mine. ❤️🐾 My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to make pet care a priority! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m also happy to accommodate early mornings, later evenings, unusual work schedules, and last-minute needs whenever possible. Whether you need a consistent weekly routine or occasional care while you’re away, I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal schedule rather than making them adjust to mine. I know pets thrive on consistency, so I’ll always do my best to keep their feeding, walking, potty, playtime, and medication routines as close to normal as possible. 💕 My goal is to make your pet’s time with me feel as much like home as possible. I truly believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when their normal routines don’t have to change just because their owners are away. Tell me how things work at home, and I’ll do my best to keep it that way! If your pup sleeps in bed with you, they’re welcome to snuggle up with us. If they’re happiest sleeping in their crate, I’m more than happy to maintain that routine as well. Feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, bedtime, and other daily habits will all be tailored to your pet. We live in a quiet area away from busy roads and have a fully fenced yard with an additional guard along our iron fencing to help prevent even smaller dogs from slipping through. There are no children in our home, and our own animals are friendly, well-trained, and accustomed to being part of an active, pet-loving household. I’m also happy to arrange a meet & greet beforehand so everyone can get acquainted and we can make sure your pup feels comfortable. For dogs who love getting out and exploring, we frequently visit the Greenway for leashed walks, and I’m happy to provide other outings when appropriate for your individual dog and with your permission. I drive a roomy Kia Telluride, so I have plenty of space for comfortable transportation—and dog hair definitely doesn’t scare me! 😂 Playtime can get messy, and that’s perfectly okay! If your pup loves water, mud, or somehow manages to find every dirty spot possible, I’m happy to provide a bath upon request. I’m also comfortable following established care instructions for medicated baths when needed. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I’ll follow your instructions regarding leashes, crates, feeding, medications, interactions with other animals, and anything else specific to your pet. I want to know their quirks, likes, dislikes, house rules, and the little things that make them feel secure. Most importantly, I want you to be able to enjoy your time away without constantly wondering whether your pet is okay. I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can see that they’re safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. Just tell me how you care for them at home, and I’ll do everything I can to make my home feel like theirs. 🦮✨

“Elaina is fantastic with our 1 year old GSP! She has a nice backyard for her to run around! She and Bug love to play and get their energy out! I would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 27 years and have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. As a nurse and lifelong animal lover, I am attentive, dependable, and comfortable administering medications when needed. I understand that every dog has unique needs and personalities, and I provide patient, loving care tailored to each pet. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or extra attention, I will treat them like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a full time stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule. I am free to care for your pet all day every day of the week. I currently have a 4 year old lab mix who is nervous around strangers, but he loves to play with other dogs. My daughter is currently 13 months old, so if your pet will be in my home, all I ask is that they are potty trained and can be good/gentle with kids, for my daughter’s safety. Our dog is an indoor/outdoor dog. He spends most of his time inside, but he likes to play outside in our fenced in yard during the day as long as the weather is good. We have a screened-in porch with a fan for him to rest in while he is outside, too. He is free to go in and out of it as he pleases. Our dog is free-fed, but we are also used to following feeding schedules from caring for our elderly dog who recently passed, as well as my family’s dogs. I provide a safe, supervised, and loving home environment with consistent care and attention. If desired, I can offer daily walks, whether your pets are boarding with me or receiving drop-in visits. I can also play fetch and provide medication administration, as I have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Every dog deserves companionship and care. I can ensure they receive plenty of affection, attention, and individualized care from myself, my husband, and my daughter. She is very gentle with animals and absolutely loves interacting with them—it’s truly sweet to watch. I offer flexible care options to accommodate different routines and needs, whether your pet requires simple visits or more structured boarding care.

About: Leaving a beloved member of your family with someone new shouldn't mean spending your trip or day worrying. I provide attentive, individualized care built around safety, comfort, familiar routines, and dependable communication so you can leave with confidence. 🐕 15+ Years of Dog-Care Experience • Individualized Care I have approximately 15+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, beginning with dogs I helped raise from puppyhood and continuing through adulthood and senior years. Today, that experience also includes professionally caring for dogs through Rover. I've cared for dogs with different ages, sizes, personalities, and temperaments—including seniors, medication needs, and companions requiring extra patience or attention. There's no one-size-fits-all care here. I learn what makes your companion unique: feeding and potty routines, exercise, medications, sleeping habits, personality, triggers, preferences, favorite activities, and comfortable alone time. Your instructions and their normal routine guide their care. 🏡 Boarding • House Sitting • Doggy Day Care Choose the care that fits them best. Boarding provides a comfortable, home-like environment with companionship, attention, play, appropriate exercise, relaxation, and affection. House sitting allows companions happiest at home to remain in familiar surroundings and maintain the routine they already know. Doggy day care provides attentive daytime care, companionship, play, relaxation, and appropriate activity while you're away for the day. I focus on compatibility and personalized attention, not treating someone you love like just another booking. 🕐 Flexible Schedule • Care Around Their Needs I primarily work through my own businesses, giving me greater control over my schedule. I spend significant time at home while occasionally leaving for business, errands, and other responsibilities. That flexibility lets me plan around those in my care rather than forcing everyone into the same rigid schedule. 📱 Regular Updates • Responsive Communication Expect regular updates, responsive communication, and careful attention to your instructions. You shouldn't have to wonder whether everything is okay while you're away. ❤️ More Than Basic Pet Sitting I'm not here simply to provide food, water, and supervision. I'm here to care for someone who matters deeply to you—so you can go about your day or enjoy your time away knowing they're safe, comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for. I primarily work through my own businesses, giving me greater flexibility and control over my schedule. That allows me to provide dependable, routine-based care tailored to your companion’s individual needs rather than forcing every pet into the same rigid schedule. I spend significant time at home while occasionally leaving for business, errands, and other responsibilities. Before every booking, we’ll discuss your companion’s normal routine, comfortable alone time, feeding and potty schedule, exercise needs, medications, and any special care requirements. Depending on the service and their needs, care can include regular potty breaks and walks, feeding, play and enrichment, companionship, medication, and overnight care. Whether you choose boarding, house sitting, or doggy day care, my focus is consistency, personalized attention, reliability, and responsive communication—helping your companion maintain a familiar routine while giving you the peace of mind to enjoy your time away. Safety, trust, and peace of mind are at the center of every booking. I provide attentive, personalized care designed to help your companion feel safe, comfortable, and secure while giving you confidence that someone you love is in dependable hands. I carefully follow your instructions and established routines, including feeding, medications, potty schedules, leash safety, doors and entry points, behavior, triggers, mobility needs, and other individual requirements. Senior and special-needs companions receive the extra patience and attention they may need. Compatibility matters. I take time to understand each companion’s personality, boundaries, and normal behavior rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. For house sitting, I treat your home with cleanliness, privacy, and respect. For boarding and doggy day care, I provide a comfortable, home-like environment focused on individualized attention rather than high-volume care. You can expect reliable, responsive communication and prompt updates if anything unusual occurs—so you can enjoy your time away with genuine peace of mind.

“My 2 pups stayed with Casey and Luigi, and they were great! They were willing to do a meet and greet first, flexible with my drop off and pick up times, sent me updates throughout the day, and Jack and Scrappy seemed to have a good time while they were there. I would definitely recommend them!”

About: I have taken care of animals for years. Pet sitting for friends and family. I went to school for animal science pre-vet and also worked in multiple veterinary hospitals as an assistant. I myself own a Saint Bernard and know what it takes to single handedly take care of a large breed dog. He is socialized, docile, kind, and loves other dogs. He doesn’t have a dominant or aggressive bone in his body thanks to all of my hard work and training and love. My best friend is a local vet and will always be there if anything happens. I have also pet sat for her and she trusts me with all 8 of her animals. I spoil animals but also read them very well and gain their trust. Your animals are safe and loved with me! I am more than willing to do a meet and greet before I officially do any service. If you want me to provide doggy day care or boarding I can bring my big guy to a park and we can meet eachother or I can come over and meet your dog and you before you book me for walking or just drop ins. Whatever makes you the most comfortable with me and your precious baby! I currently work remotely part time. I can add pet sitting to my routine easily. I can attend to any needs and have free time the majority of the time. I live in an apartment and have a dog that can keep your fur baby company. He is a Saint Bernard and neutered. He is docile and doesn’t have an aggressive bone in his body. A professional trainer even said he is the most happy go lucky dog he’s ever seen. Your fur baby will have a great time playing with him. He is also great with cats. He has three cat siblings. My cats are good with other cats I just ask you confirm your cats are feline leukemia negative if you want your kitty to stay here. If you want your cat to stay here but not be with the other cats I can make arrangements so they don’t interact. My apartment is a one bedroom but spacious. The complex has a dog park and plenty of places to walk and enjoy time. The dog park is usually empty so it’ll just be yours and mine fur baby. I have a large and extra large crate so you don’t need to provide one if your dog is crate trained. My car is a Chevrolet blazer and large so it can carry large breed and small breed dogs safely. The community I live in is nice and not far from multiple parks I can take your dog too as well. I am home all the time and work remotely so I can pet sit and board.

About: As a deeply empathetic and compassionate mental health professional, I am dedicated to providing exceptional pet sitting services that cater to the emotional and physical well-being of your pets. With a Doctorate degree in Psychology and a Masters degree in Counseling with internship training in animal-assisted modalities, I bring a unique blend of expert care and emotional insight to my role. Throughout my post-graduate internship, I gained invaluable experience working with therapy animals to assist children and adults, enhancing their emotional and social well-being. This role not only deepened my expertise in animal behavior and welfare but also reinforced my natural inclinations for empathy and understanding, allowing me to connect with animals in a profound and meaningful way.

I have several references of people (friends) that have relied on me to care for their animals while they were away. Please let me know if you would like to meet and schedule today. I am currently not working so I can drop in to care for your pets 1-2 times a day. I always stay and give them pets/love because they miss their parents.

We currently have two Labs: Copper Ray, Abigale DeLaney “Abbie” and two cats Cassie Marie (Bobtail), and Oliver Patrick “Ollie” (Part Maine Coon) They all love laying on the couch together while inside.
