Doggy Day Care in Blackville

“My dog, Peaches, loved her stay here for day care. She had lots of attention, treats, and play time with other animals. That being said mariadelcarmen always asked for permission prior to feeding her anything. She sent lots of check in photos I greatly appreciated!!”

About: Our 2-acre property has a fenced yard for constantly-available playtime and direct access to Hitchcock Woods for the dogs who love to hike! We have a high energy dog, two cats, and a toddler who looooves to pet and play with animals, so party pets only! We work from home with Fridays off every week. Our dog takes at least one long walk a day with plenty of play time outside if weather allows. In order to keep your pet exercised and happy, we expect good leash behavior and the ability to respond to basic commands- or at least be able to listen to "no" to make all of our lives less stressful! We lavish all our boarders with the same attention, snuggles, and exercise-balanced treats that our pets love. Since our cats have been part of the family the longest, your dog will need to be able to refrain from chasing them, so they can enjoy all their usual nap spots. While we love a guest, the safety and happiness of our full time residents is non-negotiable. We crate for sleeping so your pet can have a "home base" and not get up to trouble in an unfamiliar environment. We are happy to share Rascal's food, but if your dog has a sensitive stomach or a special diet, then they will need to bring their own food. We also expect them to arrive with their own leash, collar (with ID tag), crate or carrier for sleeping, and any toys, blankets, or other comfort items that smell like home to relax them and set them up for success during their stay with us. We can't wait to love on your pet!

About: Family has relied on me for all pet needs. I’ve helped with sitting, potty breaks, feeding and walking. Or even just to keep their fur babies company. I work remotely with the ability to adapt my schedule as needed for pet care. I would love to take care of your sweet baby! We have a huge front and back yard for exercise and play. We have 1 dog who would be a great playmate for your baby! We also have 3 children that love animals and would provide great companionship.

“Thanks Stacey, Lulu had a great time the last two days.”

About: Hi! I’m Avery—an experienced animal handler, lifelong dog lover, and amateur eventer based in Aiken, SC. I’ve spent my life around animals, from growing up in a pet-loving household to training young horses and competing in three-phase equestrian events. I adore both dogs and cats and understand how to care for animals of all personalities—from energetic to reserved. Working with animals has taught me patience, instinct, and how to calmly manage a wide range of temperaments. My two dogs, Blake and Peanut, are well-trained and social. Blake is the gentle leader—friendly and confident—while Peanut is sweet, a little shy, and loves snuggling once he warms up. Together, they help set a calm, welcoming tone for visiting pets. I’ve also volunteered with rescue groups like the S.A.V.E. Coalition (Houston, TX) and the Medfield Animal Shelter, where I fostered and rehabilitated Luna, an abused special-needs Pit Bull. Whether your dog or cat is high-energy, reactive, senior, or shy, I take the time to understand their needs and tailor care accordingly. Why Choose Me? • Experienced with dogs, cats, horses, and rescue animals • Calm, responsible, and attentive to individual pet needs • Communicative, dependable, and flexible • Pets in my care are treated like family Dog Walking & Drop-In Visits As someone with a flexible, work-from-home schedule, I offer mid-day dog walks and drop-in visits—perfect for keeping your pets happy, exercised, and cared for while you’re at work or away. These are a great option for regular support and can easily fit into my daily routine between meetings. Whether your pup needs a potty break, playtime, or a quick check-in and meal, I’ve got it covered. My Home & Care Style Blake and Peanut have free roam of our home and securely fenced yard, but I always supervise guest pets closely until I understand their comfort level. I provide a structured routine with room for play, relaxation, enrichment, and quiet time. If your pet prefers their own space, I make sure that’s respected. Before You Book I’ll ask about your pet’s routines, personality, medical needs, and quirks to ensure their care mirrors what they’re used to. I want them to feel as comfortable as they do at home. Let’s Connect! Whether you need a one-time drop-in, consistent walking help, or full pet sitting, I’d love to be part of your pet’s routine. Reach out to schedule a meet-and-greet—I’m excited to welcome your pet into a calm, loving environment. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I’m available on weekdays between meetings and for full-time care on weekends. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I genuinely love doing it. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized dogs—Blake and Peanut—who provide great company. I closely supervise introductions and can crate your dog if needed. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities, and I tailor each dog’s care to their personality and needs.

About: I have experience with just about any pet you could imagine. We would love to take care of your babies too, in our home or yours. I am retired from my career and am home just about all day to watch your babies for you. I am a real estate agent so almost all of my work is done at home or wherever I need to do it. We have a fenced in back yard. We utilize the layout of our home and the 2 back doors to rotate dogs if any do not get along with the other.

About: Hi, my name is Sergii. I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for over 35 years. Now I have 2 dogs: a poodle and a boxer. My wife and I love dogs and they love us. We treat our dogs more like family members than pets. We know how it’s difficult to be away from your pup, regardless if it is only a couple of hours or days. We are a team - two very experienced dog owners. We have experience with senior dogs&cats, and pets with special needs; dogs&cats who are highly anxious, and pets who are hyper activity and need a lot of care and attention. Now we put our animal expertise to our small business for pet services. We aim to ensure your dog receives just as much love and care as it does in your presence. I’m willing to feed, walk and play with your dogs when you are not available. My schedule changes from week to week, as I’m still engaged in the transportation of pets, so always have wife for backup. We really care about healthy life style and guarantee the best care for them. I certified the American Red Cross for pet first aid as well. All animals under my care are insured, insurance policy included veterinarian reimbursement. Meeting new animal friends is something that will always bring me joy. Your dog will be in the professional and loving care when under my watch. If I sound like someone you could trust to care for your fur babies, please send me message. DROP-IN VISIT (At your house) I can go to your home multiple times per day to feed your pets food/water, go outside to potty & play, administer medications, etc. Just let me know how many times per day you’d like me to drop-in to check up on your pets/how much time you’d like me to spend while there and what you’d like me to do during drop-in visits and I will make it happen. A care summary report and photos of my drop-in visit with your pets will be sent after each drop-in. DOGGIE WALKS Walks are 30 minutes long, but can also include playtime if requested (e.g 20 minute walk + 10 minutes of play time). 
Meals, treats, water, and medication can be given before or after the walk if requested, just let me know and I would be more than happy to do that.
A care summary report and photos from our walk will be sent after each walk. HOUSE SITTING I can care for your animals in your own home by ensuring your animals are safe and well cared for. I'll spend as much time with your pet as needed so that they have a true companion in your absence. I believe that the best pet care is done when your pet is in his/her own surroundings. I make sure gates and doors are closed and locked when needed, I follow safety checks in the home to ensure your pets are protected. In my clients home I will happily comply with any instructions to keep your pups safe. Anything that is needed for your fur babies!
