Doggy Day Care in Canyon Lake

About: AS OF NOW DROP-IN VISITS ARE ONLY FOR CAT CLIENTS. I have taken care of puppies who needed to be bottle fed to seniors who need help getting around. I worked and volunteered my time at multiple Animal Shelters since 2008. I also have experience working as a Veterinary Assistant. In 2017 I was Certified as a Basic Dog Trainer. I will be available all day and night at my home during your pets stay with me. A regular day looks like: 6 a.m. - morning potty break Between 6-10 a.m. - breakfast and *play time, nap or walk 10 a.m. - potty break Between 10-2 p.m. - *play time, nap or walk 2 p.m. - potty break Between 2-6 p.m. - *playtime, nap or walk 6 p.m. - potty break Between 6-10 p.m. - dinner and relax before bedtime 10 p.m. - potty break then bedtime *activity is decided on your dogs needs and weather conditions This is just a generic schedule, it can be tweaked for your dogs particular schedule and needs. If your dog has a lot of energy we can be more active. If your dog is in its senior years, disabled or not high energy we can just relax and watch movies while playing with toys or napping. What ever stage in life your pet is in I aim to meet those needs during it's stay with me. I have a fenced yard so we can have lots of play time safely outside. On hot days I have a dog sprinkler and dog pool so they can cool off. If your pet is outside so am I. My house has tile through out so I'm prepared for messes. If your dog is a senior and has a hard time walking on these types or floors let me know and I will roll out the rugs for them. My husband works during the day but he will be an extra friend to play with after work and on weekends. I have two senior cats but they have their own room in case your dog and my cats don't get along, they can be separated. I also have a 3 year old spayed female dog who is energetic so if your dog likes to play she is ready. If you have a senior dog don't worry she has been around multiple senior dogs and knows when to leave them alone. I am home all day everyday and only take 1 Client at a time so I can dedicate all my attention to your pet(s). If you are comfortable I can also take your pet(s) with me on certain outings. Otherwise they would never be left alone for more the 4 hours. I live in a single family home that has a 6ft privacy fence. If your dog is inside I'm inside, if your dog is outside I'm also outside.

“Coal had a great time. We didn’t make it out of the subdivision before he was passed out. You can tell the Scott’s enjoy fur babies. Thanks again”

“Pat dog sat for us for daycare. She was really great and reassuring. She handled our crazy and energetic dog with confidence and understanding! Our other dog, the complete opposite, shy very skiddish to new people, she was easy going and let him take his time and let him go to her, not pressuring our dog to unwanted handling. We will definitely be using Pat in the future!”

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.

“Lauren was AWESOME! My dog came back happy and sleepy after playing all day. She was very communicative, flexible, and accommodating. Definitely recommend treating your dog to a day at Lauren’s.”

“Calvin loved his day with Carol. He had fun with his other dog friends and also enjoyed time in the shade with Carol. We got picture updates and Calvin was so happy and well taken care of. We can’t wait for our next visit to the area, knowing that Calvin has a home away from home.”

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 check-in’s while you’re on vacation, 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.

“I couldn't be happier with the care Kelly provided for my dog! From the start, communication was easy and professional. Kelley truly went above and beyond to make sure my pup was happy, healthy, and well-loved while I was working long days. Mopsie came home calm, content, and clearly well cared for. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. I especially appreciated the regular updates and adorable photos—those little touches made all the difference. I highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and attentive pet sitter. I will definitely be booking again.”

“Tim, thank you for taking care of Zeus today. You have NOOOO idea how happy we are with your willingness to help. Seriously. We know Zeus can be a handful but with your experience it really put us at ease leaving him with you and your family. Seriously… THANK YOU!!!”

About: I’ve had Ivy, my golden retriever, for two years and grew up walking and dog-sitting. I love playing with dogs, making them smile and feel loved!

“I used Autumn for two days of doggy day care at her home. I was visiting her area for a family function and based on her reviews decided to book her. I was not disappointed. She was easy to communicate with and kept me informed about my dog “Cher””

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.

“Angela always takes such good care of Bixby. We deeply appreciate the extra care and communication she gives regarding our small puppy. We're happy to rebook and trust he'll be well taken care of every time ❤️😁”
