Doggy Day Care in Blanco

“Julia and her family were wonderful caregivers to our Hutson. The second day we dropped him off he leaped out of the car excited to see them! Julia was incredibly gracious and flexible, sent us pictures and updates reassuring us that he was doing well and I would highly recommend her! We are from out of town and plan to exclusively leave Hutson in her care when we visit our son.”

About: I have had a pet since I was 6 years old. I started getting my own animals to take care of at the age of 12 and have loved it ever since. I do a lot of research when it comes to caring for animals because I want to give the best to mine. I currently have 5 dogs and 2 cats and had to stop myself from getting more because I love them so much 😊❤️ I will take care of your baby like they were my own. I also have experience taking care of a litter of puppies from birth. If I need to I have enough space where I can put my animals away in another area to take care of your pets. I currently work full time at home and get off of work at 4:30 but I have freedom to take my dogs out during breaks or if they need to go outside. My dogs are SPOILED 💖 they have 2 bins of toys and a bin of treats which they would love to share. My yard is fenced with plenty of space to roam and my dogs do get along with other dogs. If the dogs for any reason don’t get along, I can put my dogs away in a separate area.

About: Have had one or more dogs in my life since I was a very young child. I was taught how to be responsible and caring for pets early on. I have adopted many pets in my life and have had the unfortunate pleasure of rescuing a few from terrible conditions, too. I know that all animals are different and have specific needs and personality traits and will treat your pet like I would my own. I am a stay at home pet owner and am generally available for any day of the week and open for drop ins during the day most hours Our home is pet friendly as we have a dog (Cocker Spaniel) of our own. Crockett loves having pals and knows all of the other dogs in our neighborhood from our walks. He has never had any issues with other animals. In fact, he love playing chase with our chicken Ruby. We take multiple daily walks, some include walks through the woods on the property we live on. When not out playing fetch or on a walk with Crockett, we enjoy sharing our couch or bed with our furry friends. We can provide other general care, such as administering meds, bathing, etc.

“Bear just loves Carla and her dog along with all the animals at her place. Lots of room to run and play. She always comes home tired and happy!”

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for fur babies — they’re not just pets, they’re family. I take my own senior girl with me wherever I go, and I bring that same level of care and love to every pup I visit. From playful puppies to wise seniors, I have hands-on experience and a heart for each stage of their journey. Whether your dog needs a walk, company, or a little extra TLC, I’m here to help with kindness and reliability you can trust. As a busy realtor, wife, mom, great-grandmother, and proud senior boxer mom, my days are full — but there’s always room in my heart (and schedule) for the dogs I care for. Pet care isn’t just a side job; it’s a natural extension of the love I already give my own fur baby every day. Walks, visits, and companionship fit right into my routine — and I treat every pup like part of the family. When I visit your dog in their own home, I treat them like they’re part of my family — with patience, kindness, and plenty of love. I respect their routines and comfort, making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just quiet company, I’m there to give your furry friend the care and attention they deserve.

About: Hi, I’m Julie, the heart behind Happy Paws at the Lake. Animals have been part of my story for as long as I can remember— from growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, bunnies, chickens, hamsters, birds, and other amazing pets, to caring for my own two 80-pound pups and two stray-kitties-turned-family who are my whole world. Born in Texas, I spent some time in the mountains of Colorado before making my way back to the most beautiful part of Texas: the Hill Country. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience in senior pet care, administering medications, horse care, and looking after all kinds of farm animals. Whether it’s a playful kitten, a gentle senior dog, a curious chicken, or a majestic horse, I treat every animal like they’re family. When I’m not caring for your furry (or feathered!) friends, you can find me outdoors— bird watching, enjoying the lake, or spending time with loved ones. My lifelong love for animals drives everything I do, and I’m committed to making sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. Whether you’re in town visiting and need a quick check in, or you’re local and would like to get on my schedule for regular visits or care when you leave town, I am here to help! I can’t wait to meet your fur babies and shower them with the love they deserve! I was recently laid off from my corporate job, so I am fully available for walks and check-in’s. I am taking daycare and overnight clients on a very limited basis (must be a great match for my two senior dogs and my cats). Walks are subject to weather for the safety of your pet— during periods of high heat (highs above 80 degrees) walks will be during morning hours only. We can substitute walks for indoor or fenced yard play when requested! Whether I’m welcoming your pet into my home or caring for them in yours, my goal is always the same — to keep them safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. In your home, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. That means sticking to their feeding schedule, walk times, playtime preferences, and any medication needs. I make sure they have fresh water, a comfy space, and plenty of affection. You’ll also get photo and video updates so you can see how your furry (or feathered) family member is doing. If your pet is staying in my home, they’ll enjoy a safe, cozy environment with lots of love and attention. My space is pet-friendly, and I treat visiting pets just like my own — with supervised outdoor time, indoor snuggles, enrichment activities, and, of course, plenty of belly rubs. Whether paws, hooves, or feathers, I care for every animal with patience, kindness, and respect, so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
