Doggy Day Care in Castlewood

About: Having pets myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your beloved companions. I remember taking my own dogs to kennels and feeling as if they spent most of their time waiting for me to return. When I discovered Rover, I loved the idea that pet parents could find a caring, home-based alternative—either at a sitter’s home or in their own familiar environment. As a Rover sitter, I care for pets and homes exactly as I hope someone would care for mine. I have an established clientele of pups I care for in my home (since 2019) and have recently begun to enjoy in-home sitting as well, bringing the same dedication and attention to detail your pet deserves in their own home. I am a very clean person, respectful of your space, and I treat every pet as if they were my own, always seeking detailed instructions to ensure your pet’s needs and routines are thoroughly met. I’m also excited to share that I am now offering dog walking services and drop-in visits, providing pups with daily exercise, stimulation, and companionship—perfect for busy pet parents who want their dogs to stay happy and healthy even on their busiest days. I work full-time 100% remote so I have the flexibility to care for your pets while I am working. I do like to head home for a few hours a day if house sitting to be with my family. My husband cares for our pups who are visiting and our own, if I'm away. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment where they can follow their usual routines, including feeding, exercise, and playtime, while ensuring they have access to fresh water and cozy resting spots. In a client’s home, I maintain the pet’s familiar surroundings, adhere closely to the owner’s instructions on diet, medication, and daily habits, and give regular updates to ensure peace of mind. Whether at my place or the client’s, I prioritize the pet’s well-being, safety, and happiness by giving them attentive, loving care tailored to their needs.

About: Hi, I'm Nikki P, and I'm here to provide your beloved pet with the highest standard of care. I have over 30 years of pet care experience, having worked with animals of all shapes and sizes—from the smallest Chinese hamster to the largest dog breeds. I understand that leaving your pet can be stressful; I know because I've been in your shoes! I was once a client who had a wonderful experience with a Rover sitter, which inspired me to offer the same peace of mind to others. My goal is simple: to make sure you feel completely comfortable and secure while you're away. My Expertise My extensive experience means I'm prepared for many different care needs. I specialize in: Senior Pet Care: Providing the gentle, patient, and specialized attention that older pets often require, including assistance with mobility and comfort. Medication Administration: I have extensive experience caring for sick animals and can confidently administer various types of medications, including oral, topical, and injections, following your veterinarian's instructions precisely. Dog Walking: Offering fun, safe, and appropriately paced walks tailored to your dog's energy level and needs. At-Home Pet Sitting: Ensuring your pets are happy, safe, and comfortable in the familiar environment of their own home, minimizing stress and maintaining their routine. No pet is too small, and no need is too complex. Whether it's a cuddle session for a nervous cat or specific care for a dog with special health requirements, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Why Choose Me? Three Decades of Experience: True mastery in handling diverse animal needs and temperaments. Inspired by a Client's Trust: I approach every booking with the empathy of a pet parent who knows what it feels like to be uncertain. Specialized Care: Confidence in caring for senior and sick pets, which many other sitters may shy away from. I look forward to meeting you and your furry, or feathered family member! Pet care isn't just a side activity for me—it's central to my daily routine. I am currently a full-time pet parent, which means my schedule is inherently flexible and dedicated to animal care. I don't juggle a separate nine-to-five job, so I have extensive time and availability. This means I can devote all the time needed to your pet. Whether they need three scheduled walks, specialized medication times, or just extra cuddles and monitoring throughout the day, your pet will receive my undivided attention. I treat every booking as the highest priority, ensuring your pet's routine, comfort, and safety are fully maintained while you are away. When I care for your pet in your home, my focus is entirely on maintaining their established routine. This setting is usually best for pets who thrive in their familiar environment. Routine Adherence: I follow your specific schedule for feeding, walking, playtime, and potty breaks precisely. Comfort and Security: Your pet has access to their favorite beds, toys, and spaces, which reduces anxiety. Specialized Needs: I administer medications or follow specific care plans (like those for senior pets) exactly as instructed. Home Security: I am respectful of your space and also maintain the security of your home while you are away.

“Tim and Beth were so helpful with very short notice. Our dog Fritz had a blast with their two dogs and came home happy and tired from playing in the backyard. We will certainly call on them again, should our calendar require it. I would definitely recommend them. Your dog will have a great time and come home smiling.”

About: What sets me apart is the amount of time and attention your pet gets. Since I work from home, your dog isn’t left alone for long stretches. They get consistent supervision, interaction, and care throughout the day. I’m great at adapting to each dog’s needs, whether that’s high energy play, sticking to a strict routine, or giving extra patience and comfort to shy or anxious pets. As a remote worker, I’m home most of the day and able to give pets consistent care and attention. I have a flexible schedule, which means more walks, more playtime, and less time your pet is left alone. I truly love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I stick closely to their usual routine,feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions you provide. Since I work from home, they get lots of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed in a calm environment.

About: I have had dogs the majority of my life and absolutely adore them. They bring so much unconditional love to our lives that it is impossible not to love them! I currently work from home so I am always here for your dog(s) during the day. My schedule at work is designed to allow me to take dogs out every two hours if they aren't sure of or can't use a dog door. I will get all viable information from the pawrent so I know exactly what is needed for the pet such as feedings, walks, medications, training or other things.

About: I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have kittens, cats, puppies, or dogs. I grew up caring for our family's animals. Anytime a friend or family member needs a pet helper, I am the one they reach out to. My daughter, who is 17, also couldn’t be more in love with animals of all types. I have an incredibly flexible schedule working from home and would love to snuggle and care for your little one when you are in need. I have a small pomeranian-shitzu and a cat (who likes to hide and keep to himself when strangers are over). Your pet will be loved and cared for in the exact way you request. I am able to kennel or not. Walks, playtime, feeding schedules - let me know what your pet needs so I can be the best step-in momma while you are away.
