Doggy Day Care in Candler

“Annette is great! Murphy spent a couple of days with her and had a blast playing with other dogs. If we settle in this area, she will be our pet sitter of choice. We recommend her without reservation.”

“They get to go inside and outside plus Lorraine sends you pictures. Her house is clean and she is attentive to the dogs. Much better than leaving them at a kennel”

“Cyndi is fantastic! She is so thoughtful and caring. She took such great care of our sweet puppy. She sent me pictures and videos throughout the day of my dog running, playing and getting lots of love. Cyndi even let me use her discount code as it was my first time using rover. That was incredibly thoughtful! I very much highly recommend her!”

About: Have over 10 years experience as a vet tech and exotic animal sanctuary keeper that worked up to Sanctuary manager. I have experience and love for almost all animals as I also used to be a wildlife rehabber as well through various roles. I love the opportunity to help provide consistency and calm compassion during the uneasy times of pet parent absence. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Busy but flexible. I do have a mini zoo and other responsibilities so advanced notice to allow for proper planning is ideal but I’m also pretty flexible and open/willing to roll with the punches so to speak for unavoidable last minute needs. I always do a meet and greet with every new client- I think it’s really important for the animal to feel comfortable so I always do my best to learn and adhere to yours and their usual habits as much as possible to keep their life as consistent as possible.

About: I’ve cared for animals for 30 plus years. I give them lots of love and affection. I live on four acres so I have lots of yard space for them to run and play outside. I’m home full time and I’m devoting my time to caring for your fur babies. I will be available 7 days a week including weekends and holidays so that you can rest easy knowing that your pet is safe and loved 🥰 I will love and care for your pet as if he/she is my own. I will follow your instructions for feeding and medications. Your fur baby will be in a good home with lots of love and affection ! 🐶🥰

“Tifany is incredible. She has made lulu feel right at home while we were away and provided tons of photos and videos to ease mom’s mind! With lulu being so young and a puppy, we weren’t sure how she was going to do her first night away but we will absolutely be back with Tifany. This was great for socialization for a new puppy! Lulu has the best time. Thank you Tif!”

About: As a dedicated pet sitter with extensive hands-on experience, I bring more than just a love for animals—I’m equipped with specialized skills that make me uniquely qualified to care for pets of all ages and needs. My background includes training sessions with dogs, focusing on socialization and behavior, which means I’m adept at working with puppies to instill positive habits and older dogs who may need gentle patience and care. For senior pets, I understand the importance of providing a calm, comfortable environment, ensuring their routines are maintained while being attentive to any mobility or health-related concerns. Whether your pet needs basic training reinforcement, extra attention, or simply lots of love and companionship, I tailor my approach to meet their individual needs. My goal is always to provide not just care but also enrichment, ensuring your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, seamlessly blending into my life as both a passion and a commitment. From early morning walks to evening playtime, I prioritize creating a structured, nurturing environment for every pet in my care. During the week, I dedicate time to activities like training sessions, socialization outings at dog parks, and tailored care for pets with unique needs, such as puppies learning new skills or seniors requiring gentle attention. Whether it’s preparing meals, administering medications, or providing mental stimulation, I ensure that every pet feels valued and cared for. My consistent schedule allows me to be flexible and dependable, making it easy to adapt to your pet’s routine and provide them with the stability they need. For me, pet care isn’t just a task—it’s a fulfilling and joyful part of my everyday life. When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, my priority is always creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I ensure pets feel like part of the family. They have access to a clean, secure space, with plenty of room to play and relax. I maintain a consistent schedule for meals, walks, and playtime, keeping their routines as close to normal as possible. For pets with specific needs, I provide extra attention, whether it’s reinforcing training, offering enrichment activities, or providing a cozy area for rest, especially for senior pets or those requiring calm spaces.

“Amanda and her boyfriend were amazing with our baby Georgia! They were more than accommodating to our schedule and gave her lots of love! Will definitely book againb”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. When I was a little girl I would always help take care of my animals with my mother. I used to live on a farm and I have had experience with many different pets/animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, farm animals and small animals. I also have experience with bathing, trimming nails, cleaning ears, and expressing anal glands. I can also administer medications. This is my full time job so I can do my very best to accommodate anyone who needs a pet sitter who truly cares about their pets. My wife and daughters help me sometimes as well. Our daughters are also knowledgeable in pet care from getting hands on experience through me. My wife just come with me every where I stay for Moral support. 💕 I have a fully privacy fenced in yard. If the pet is in a home without fence I will be sure to leash walk your pet for safety reasons. If your pet feels comfortable in a crate feel free to bring it. Also if there is a special toy, bed or something they enjoy or prefer they can bring it along for their stay.

“Dedra was great. I uswd her services only for a day but know I could have boarded my dog with her for days. Will hire her again when I am in The Villages.”

“I couldn’t have found a better family to take care of our fur babies. They were well loved! I highly recommend them!”

Laura B.

“Was a little anxious about it since it was my first time getting a sitter. However, Nancy and her family took all my worries away. By far my best experience with a sitter. Not only will your pet be treated as their own family, you will also get constant videos and pictures of your pets well being. I highly recommend this sitter for anyone that wants a trustworthy individual that will take care of your pet.”

Kieren M.

“Marcela was WONDERFUL with our two dogs. My 3 month old puppy is very shy and nervous around new people and new dogs, and she made him feel super comfortable, and her dog took him under her wing and played with him the whole time. I can not recommend her more highly!”

Amber B.

“Momo seems to have enjoyed the stay 😀”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was 7 years old. I have no children, outside of my gentle giant Taz- a TN mountain cur, who is a service animal. He’s been with me for the last four years, well-traveled, and well-behaved. I WFH so I have ample time to get to know your fur baby. We will play, visit the dog park(s) in the area, and enjoy plenty of cuddle time. I offer bathing service, pickup services (within 30 miles) and can even cook to accommodate sensitive diets. I specialize in working with dogs that require extra special attention, such as those with separation anxiety. I have availability 7x a week, since I work from home M-F with weekends off. Whether you need a simple daycare service or overnight boarding, your baby will be right at home. While my dog has NO aggression(s) - such as kid, food, cat/dog - I understand not everyone will feel comfortable with interactions. I offer a XL crate and a separate room for babies with anxiety or that require isolation. Otherwise, your baby can feel free to stretch out in the sun in the yard or wherever is comfortable.

When your pet is with me, they’re not just getting care, they’re getting love, snuggles, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I specialize in senior pets, special needs animals, and those who just need a little extra TLC. Whether your fur baby is shy, spunky, or somewhere in between, I take the time to understand their unique personality and needs. You can expect: Regular updates with cute photos and notes A calm, nurturing environment A clean, safe space for play and rest Patience, reliability, and tons of love Experience with administering meds and handling special diets Think of me as your pet’s favorite extended family member, the one they’re always excited to see! Hope to meet your dog(s), cat(s), horse(s), etc soon! :) Pet care isn’t just part of my day. It is my day. From sunrise snuggles to sunset strolls, my entire routine revolves around the animals I care for. Whether I’m feeding breakfast to a sleepy pup, giving midday meds to a senior cat, or ending the evening with playtime and cuddles, every moment is planned with pets in mind. Caring for animals has been my lifelong passion, and I’ve built a lifestyle around making sure every pet in my care feels safe, loved, and understood. I’m always home or nearby, so your pet will never feel alone or neglected. This isn’t just a job to me. It’s who I am. When your pet stays with me, they become part of my heart and my home. The care I provide is 100% customized to whatever that pet's parents do as a routine with them. My goal is to make their stay with me as close to what they are used to as possible.
