Doggy Day Care in Calabash

About: I volunteered at an animal shelter for three years in high school, worked at that same shelter for an additional 3 years after volunteering, and continued to foster kittens and dogs for them after I left. I have fostered 19 kittens and 1 dog that required extensive medical care. I have also pet sat several times since then! I love animals and am very patient with ones that need a little extra attention. I also am able to draw pet portraits (charcoal). If you are interested, just ask! I work from home, so if you want someone that will be here all the time aside from a small grocery run, I am your gal! I live on three acres; however, it is not fenced yet. Until we are able to fence it, I will take your dog out on leash. We are in the process of raising the funds to secure the whole property. I do have a dog, so your dog must be dog friendly. He is a 6 year old heeler that loves to play and is vocal. Does not try to dominate other dogs at all. He just wants to be friends. For both of our benefit, I would like to have a play date beforehand just so they can have a friendly introduction. I have had a bad experience in the past where a pet sitter severely neglected my dog the last couple days we were out of town. It is very important to me to make sure all dogs feel loved and safe. I will send you daily updates on how your dog is doing so you can have peace of mind your fur baby is in a safe environment. I know how important that reassurance is to me and I don't expect it to be different for anyone else. My husband will also be here when he isnt working. He is also WONDERFUL with animals.

“On a scale of 1 to 5, Kim and her husband earned a 10. Kim is a very caring person towards animals and people. She went way beyond routine care to insure that both Roxie and I felt very comfortable caring for Roxie. Kim has a very laid back cat and dog that welcomed Roxie into their home. You need look no further for someone to take care of your pet.”

“Our pup had an incredible time today, all thanks to Arianna! She clearly has a genuine love for dogs and an amazing ability to connect with them. Our dog, Sandy, came home happy, tired, and clearly well-cared for. Arianna is a true gem, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any dog owner looking for top-notch care and a fun, safe environment. Five stars!”

“Digo loves being at daycare! Janet keeps him active and assures that he is socializing with other dogs. She takes him outside often and keeps him inside when weather is not conducive. She introduced him to kiddie pool and she reinforces training including housebreaking and simple commands such as “sit”. Janet is also very flexible with schedule - I’m a nurse and my hours are very early and long! We are very fortunate to have found Janet!”

“Atina and Sean were very patient with our boys, our older one is very anxious and doesn't like to leave Mom too much. Atina made sure to reach out to me and let me know that Finnegan is adapting well and doing a great job settling in for the day! We would recommend them again to anyone.”

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, including those with special needs and medical conditions. Every animal in my care will be loved, snuggled, and spoiled—or given the space they prefer, depending on their comfort level. My goal is to create a safe and comforting environment for them while you’re away. Hi, My schedule is open, my hours are not limited… accept for Wednesdays. I can watch on Wednesday with advance notice, please and thank you. I will discuss care with the owner one on one, each animal is special and different and the owner will know what is best for their fur baby.

“Courtney took such good care of my girls for the day! I received pictures and updates all day from her and will definitely be using her again next time!”

About: I grew up with large dogs and cats (and farm animals) until I moved out on my own. In 2002, I rescued my first fur baby and the rest is history! I am a 3 time rescue failure and I have been caring for others dogs since the day I bought mine home. I have had puppies to elderly dogs and everything in between. I enjoy watching them play and learn from each other everyday. With that said, I have recently partnered with a non profit that trains service dogs for veterans and law enforcement officers with PTSD & TBI. So who knows, if your fur baby crosses paths with one of my service puppies, they may pick up on a few new techniques!!🐾❤️ I own my own business and work from home. I meet with clients over Zoom or telephone and do not book pets during the weeks I have in person weekend retreats. Therefore your fur baby will not be left alone. When we do run out, I never leave them or my own fur babies longer than 4 hours. We currently have one 90 pound lab/boxer mix fur baby. We are gifting ourselves a new puppy in March 2025 and I have service puppies visit often for some socializing and training. We have a large fenced in yard on our 3/4 acre lot. I take each dog for a morning and afternoon walk in the park next door as well as plenty of play time outside. We have dog beds strategically located throughout our home for their comfort. There are 2 dog beds in our bedroom for sleeping if they are trained to sleep through the night; otherwise we have a crate for their safety and comfort.

“Our first experience using Rover couldn't have been better. Tanya responded quickly, was friendly and welcoming. She handled our somewhat anxious pup calmly, and sent us pictures so we would know she was ok. Thank you Tanya!”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child. Growing up with 10 dogs and continuing to have pets throughout my adult life has really helped shape me into being a trusted pet sitter! I’ve helped my neighbors and friends by watching their pets in my home or dropping in to check on them as well as taking care of my own. I am very reliable and trustworthy. I am available for any service you may need at anytime! I am home full time right now and look forward to loving your babies as my own whenever you may need me! I live in a beautiful pet friendly community. I do not have a fenced in yard but we have a leash policy so your pup will never be outside off leash. I have two friendly pups to keep your pup company. I can crate your pup if needed or they can hang out on the couch with us! Whatever you need or prefer just let me know and I can accommodate!
