Doggy Day Care in Carters Crossroads

About: Hi there! I am a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. My background includes working in both veterinary and pet insurance settings, so I’m very comfortable handling pets with all types of medical needs and administering medications safely and correctly (oral, topical, injectable, and more). I am also comfortable with other critters as needed on a case by case basis. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science with a concentration in Equine Science and Companion Animals, and I’ve dedicated my time outside of my 9-5 to helping pets live happy, healthy lives. I currently have two dogs and a cat, a turtle, a tortoise, and 5 fish tanks. This is an animal loving home without a doubt. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member behind when you travel or need extra help. My goal is to make things easier by providing reliable, compassionate care you can trust, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in great hands. I work from home full-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. For boarding, that means I’m able to give them as much or as little attention as they want. Whether they’re social snugglers or prefer their own space. I keep a calm, comfortable environment and make sure their needs are always met. While we do have other animals in the home, I am able to provide a private place for your pet if needed, and typically do dedicate one private space for any cat boarders. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can also easily fit in drop-in visits before or after work, ensuring pets get reliable care and consistent routines. Pet care naturally fits into my day because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. All animals must be dog and cat friendly. If you're boarding a cat, they will NOT have access to our cat since they're a bit more difficult to socialize. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a calm, comfortable environment where the animal can feel safe and relaxed. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible regarding feeding times, litter maintenance, playtime, and quiet time! I also make sure they get the right balance of attention and independence based on their personality. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and routines with the same respect and care I would my own. I pay close attention to any specific instructions for feeding, medications, or enrichment, and always take time to make pets feel loved and secure while their people are away. Communication is key for me, so I provide updates and photos to give you peace of mind every step of the way.

About: I worked for 4 years as a med tech and have experience caring for many different types of pets. I have a lot of experience giving medicine and fluids if your dog needs any special care. I currently have 5 very well behaved pups that love to play with everyone. I also have experience with other types of animals including reptiles and amphibians. I have always loved caring for animals and enjoy giving them as much attention as I can. I live in a more rural area with a big yard that is fenced. I go running with my youngest dog everyday and love going out and exercising with the pups. All my animals are treated like my children and I give them everything they want. Thanks for considering me, I'm sure I will make your pets feel like one of my own! I work part time helping out with a dog daycare a few days a week and the rest of my time is spent at home with the pups! I have 2 fenced areas to be able to separate any dogs that may need to be and multiple indoor areas for them. If they are used to being crated at night/when you’re out just let me know. I have large crates for them if they do or plenty of beds and if they don’t!

About: I’ve had pets since I was a little girl, and I honestly hate calling them pet because I love and care for them so deeply. I have a Shih Tzu named Cookie Ginger Brown and a Bearded Dragon named Babygurl Brown and I love them like they’re my own children! Your fur babies will feel safe, loved, and valued in my care. I am also a very energetic enthusiastic individual so your pup will never be bored! I currently work from home so I am always around my pets. I usually start my mornings off by feeding them and about 45 minutes to an hour I take my dog out to potty and play. We honestly don’t do much. My animals are very calm and lazy but I love the energetic ones too! I feed my dog 2-3 times a day and I feed my lizard every other day since she’s full grown and doesn’t need too much food. They never stress me out nor do I ever feel like taking care of them is too much for my schedule. They are my passion, part of my everyday routine, and I would do anything for them to feel my love. I couldn’t imagine my life without them. I will love and care for your fur babies just as much as I love mine because they all deserve it. My pets are in house pets. I don’t believe in keeping pets outside. As for potty and play time, that’s when it’s time to go outside. I have a massive front and back yard, with a gated fence around the back, so potty time will never be an issue. I also walk my dog frequently so chances of potty accidents happening are very slim. In a clients environment, I’d ask them about everything I feel like I should know about their home and pet, and get to know their environment a little better so I can be the best caregiver for their baby.

“Brennen provided a great sitting experience for our puppy. She answered all my questions as we are new to rover. She gave us updates all day long and gave our pup all the love.”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life! I’m comfortable with all shapes and sizes (cats, dogs, reptiles). I worked as a vet assistant for 6 years. I am also comfortable with reptiles! I am a SAHM. Both of my children are in school now; so I am pretty flexible. I have reliable transportation and can fit my schedule to meet the needs of clients. My goal is to create the most comfortable and worry-free experience for you and your pet. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for them as I would.

“Ionna was great at communicating with me before booking and the morning of. She even took my pup on a ride, which she loves! Harley seemed very happy when I picked her up. Recently moved to the area so it is great to find a sitter that we can trust.”

About: I’ve taken care of all breeds small and large since I was a child. At 40 now we have had senior Great Danes and litters of Dachshunds in home. I assisted with Rescue in Texas and admin one of the largest lost pets sites in Texas. I also have experience with reptiles and can sit for just about any animal. We have and iguana in home. Inquiry on sitting to set up exotic care as well. I work full-time from home and can take lunch/breaks as needing for walking and running to your home for breaks. There is another full time adult in home as well. We have 4 cats, 1 dog and 1 reptile so animal care is constant in my home. All animals are fixed and up to date on shots. We have a fenced in yard and we still go out with our large hound. One of our cats is indoor/outdoor. All of our pets are fixed and have rabies vaccination up to date.

“We were visiting Tifton, GA for a few days and wanted to find a sitter where our 2 year old active black lab could run and play and enjoy the day while we were sight-seeing. I requested the stay the day before and Michelle responded to my request within 15 minutes! Even though Michelle was 30 miles away from where we were staying, it was worth the travel to have a family so loving and attentive to Gus! Their home was perfect for Gus! Big wide open space to run, another friendly dog, Roscoe, to play with, and a dog-friendly home that met all his needs. If we are in this area again, we will definitely contact Michelle!!”

“This was my first time using a sitter. My baby had separation anxiety and is afraid of everything, but I know she's in good hands with Ashleigh. She was patient and careful introducing my 10 pound chihuahua to her great dane. My little baby gets so excited when I drop her off. They go to the park all the time. Thank you Ashleigh!”

“Kate was fantastic! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her. With her training background, we knew she could handle our five month old Malinois mix and having other dogs was great for socializing. She sent us photos throughout the day and we know she and her family took great care of Mali while we were gone. We will definitely be booking with Kate again!”

“Absolutely amazing family, they were so sweet and my puppy took a nap as soon as we got in the car, I can tell he had an amazing time!”

“Alise is the best sitter ever! She kept me updated with pictures and videos and let me know how my dog was going. Definitely recommend and will be using her sitting service again!”

About: I’ve had my own 3 dogs for the last 6 years. Before that, I would take care of my friends animals. I often dog sit and cat sit for close friends and family. Figured I would do it on here, too! I have trained all of my dogs, nothing crazy. Just the basics. One of my dogs does have health issues and another has really bad allergies so I definitely know what it’s like to have a certain routine per animal. All my animals needs are different and I’m here to provide that to lessen your stress ☺️ All day, all night!!! I am also able to travel. I drive a lot so I don’t mind if I have to travel a bit. I would love for the pet owners to give me a run down no matter what! Even if your animal is low maintenance. My dogs are high maintenance so I’m also used to that. I just like specific instructions, I feel it makes it easier for everyone involved! Especially if I’m pet sitting in your home. That’s your safe space.

About: I’ve spent over 20 years surrounded by paws, whiskers, and wagging tails, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life. From newborns, playful puppies, curious kittens, confident adults, and sweet seniors who just want extra snuggles. At home, I have a full furry crew: two huskies, two cats, and eight dachshunds. Managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines is second nature to me and there’s never a dull moment, and I love it. One thing that sets me apart is my experience with whelping and newborn puppies. I’ve helped deliver two dachshund litters and raised those tiny beans from birth until they headed off to their forever families. It taught me patience, attention to detail, and how to spot what a pet needs before they can tell you themselves. Whether your pet loves long walks, gentle cuddles, or just a buddy to hang out with, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at home. I work a full-time job, but I have plenty of flexibility to schedule visits around your pet’s routine. I’m able to do morning, evening, and weekend care, and I always make sure pets get the attention, playtime, and clean-up they need. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. It’s something I genuinely enjoy, so I’m happy to build my schedule around keeping your pets happy and comfortable. I provide all pet care in your home, where your pets feel safe, comfortable, and in their normal routine. My priority is creating a calm, secure environment so they can relax while you’re away. I always follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, litter box routines, medication needs, preferred toys, and any house rules you have in place. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and comfort level so I can approach them gently and respectfully. During visits, I make sure your home stays safe and tidy. I double-check doors, crates, and gates; ensure food and water are fresh; and keep the space clean, especially around litter boxes and feeding areas. I also provide updates and photos so you know your pets are happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety, your home’s security, and your peace of mind are always my top priorities.

“Rip came home very happy and tired! Will definitely use again! Thanks for taking care of him.”

About: Since I was in diapers I’ve helped hatch birds to owning a pet mouse and a small herd of wild rabbits. Growing up I adored all dog breeds as well.. I’m a sucker for big breeds! Started volunteering as a teenager and ended up as a Vet Tech in 2024. Currently working at another local animal clinic in Florence, Sc (2026). I also work with equine’s once a week. That being said.. I’ll take care of any pet from reptiles to cats or even a raccoon if you got one! Haha (I’m serious). On the days that show up as available on my appointment calendar, are the days I am home 24/7 and am able to hangout and give your pet the attention he or she needs. I come from a strict ethnic mother so shoes in the house is definitely not a talk in the matter haha, All jokes aside I have a security system in my home, including inside living room, spacious backyard and a hangout house I got built in for my pets that they like to hangout in with a whole bed and cat scratching posts connected to the wall.. it also has a doggy door so they can come and go as pleased.

About: I’ve grown up taking care of my own dogs, friends, family and neighbors dogs! I’ve taken care of dogs from puppies to older dogs and have experience giving medicines and emergency medicines aswell. I’m currently on a part-time rotation so I am home everyday for majority of the day! If this were to change I will update my profile. I have a dog park near my neighborhood aswell as a large yard to walk and play with the pets! I’m not far from the river walk either and I enjoy taking pets there!!
