Doggy Day Care in Chalybeate Springs

About: I have experience caring for different kinds of pets, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience. I currently have three dogs, a cat, and a tortoise, so I’m very comfortable handling pets with different needs. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like family — I’m attentive, caring, and make sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Plus, I have a fenced-in backyard, which gives dogs a safe space to play and enjoy themselves. Pet care is already part of my daily life since I take care of my own dogs, cat, and tortoise every day. Feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning up are all part of my routine, so adding care for other pets fits in naturally. I enjoy spending time with animals, so making it part of my weekly schedule feels very rewarding. In my home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe, with plenty of attention, playtime, and a fenced-in backyard for exercise. I follow their usual feeding and routine so they feel at home. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely — feeding, walks, medication if needed, and keeping the pet’s environment clean and calm. My goal is always to make pets feel loved and secure, whether they are with me or in their own home.

“Caitlin is an amazing doggy sitter, she showed me around with Beau, let me see how he handles the other dogs and sent me so many awesome updates throughout the day. CAITLIN TYSM for watching Beau Berry Biscuit for us.”

“It was a pleasure meeting Jacob! Goldie really enjoyed herself and making new doggy friends. I will definitely take Goldie back. I love the fact that she was so comfortable and happy running around in the spacious backyard and catching her breath on the couch.”

“Jeni was amazing. My pup did not want to leave when I would come pick him up! She walked him a lot, which my pup loves and needs. Jeni was very communicative and reliable.”

“Dylan is really good with dogs. Everything you'd want for a dog sitter! My dog immediately liked him and I could tell he was really cared and had fun while we were gone. Dylan kept us updated with pictures and commutes very well. It was great. I'll definitely check with him first for our future needs. Highly recommended!”

“Jessie and her husband were super nice and very accommodating. Both of my dogs are high energy breeds so I know they can be a lot for people, but Jessie took great care of them. They were nice and tired when they got home, which helped me out a lot. I greatly appreciate how responsive she is, which made scheduling a breeze. Jin can be picky with people but he warmed right up to the two of them. She did great with my dogs and made my day a lot easier--I'll definitely be scheduling with her again when I need an extra long break. 11/10 would recommend!”

About: We are a family of 5 plus 2 dogs. We love dogs; we have 1 senior dog and 1 puppy. We think animals bring so much joy to any home. Our puppy is fun-loving and loves to play with other dogs. We would love to be a safe place for you to leave your dog so you can enjoy your vacation to the fullest! I work part time and my husband works from home so it is rare that your dog would be alone for more than 4 hours at a time. We are available weekends and weekdays to house your dog during the day and over night. We have a fenced-in yard and very active dogs, as well as being very active myself I am always happy to take dogs for a long walk if that's what they are accustomed to. Your dog must get along with other dogs and kids since we have both in the home!

About: I’m a Marine Corps veteran that has been blessed with two 8+ year old medium/large dogs and one 3 year old Great Dane over the years. I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for peers and coworkers for as long as I can remember due to my unconditional love for animals. You can count on my commitment to helping others, attention to detail, and dedication to taking care of animals. I am almost always available for boarding- even on the holidays! My work schedule allows me to tend to pets in the morning, afternoons, and all evening/night daily. When caring for pets in my home or at a client’s home, they are always supervised during outdoor play time, when engaging with toys, and during feedings. When boarding multiple animals from different homes, I always keep them separated safely when not being supervised unless otherwise specified by clients.

“Dean was a wonderful sitter for our boy; for the day he took him to the doggy park and Buddy had a great time! I would highly recommend him. He is a very nice man and took him last minute which we really appreciated. Thank you, Dean!”

About: Have owned my own dogs and cats over the years. As they've grown older and passed on, I have satisfied my love for animals by caring for my kids' pets when they go on vacation. I've gone to their house and stayed, but also they have stayed in my home while mom and dad are away. We go for walks, and I have a fenced in yard and doggy door them to come and go as they please. Like my grandkids: I love having them and playing, but I also love the flexibility of sending them back to mom and dad! I am a retired teacher and am home most days. I have various errands during the day, or other things, but nothing that would interfere with visiting guests. I no longer have a dog of my own but our visiting fur babies ( and the grands) have a fenced yard with doggy door. Dogs are secure inside the back yard. I care for one dog, that loves the back yard and wants to stay out all day, weather permitting. He is safe and secure there with water and shade, and comes in when he is ready. But most of the dogs come inside. They are free to go out to play and do their business.

“Staci is an excellent pet sitter that provides amazing care for our Maggie. Maggie has separation anxiety and needed to start developing social skills to help her with separation and just overall being around other people and pets. I am so happy that I found Staci, because after just the first time that she cared for Maggie, I can see how happy my furbaby gets when I even put her in the car seat. Maggie gets so excited because she knows we are on our way to a play date or overnight fun filled stay with Staci. I’ve observed how much calmer Maggie is and how much she loves to be at her sitters house. Thank you Staci for caring for our Maggie with such love and care. My family and I appreciate you so much. -Dina”

“Amber is amazing! It was my first time leaving my little man and amber made it so easy. I got photos all day long and for the first time, I got to sleep in the next morning because Chandler was so tired!!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I’m a former K9 handler and genuinely love animals of all shapes and sizes. I’m comfortable working with dogs of every breed and size. I am currently a full time student and am home majority of the day. Your pet will not be left unattended for more than 4 hours at a time. I have a fenced yard, live in a very walkable neighborhood, and I’m right next to a dog park. I go on frequent walks and runs and would be more than happy to bring your dog along if you’d like. Your pet will have free rein in my home. I have one cat and one dog who both love making new friends and will happily keep your fur baby company. I also have an extra-large kennel available upon request, depending on your preference.

“My pup had so much fun! Great backyard and lots of walks. He came home tired everyday and would get so excited at drop off! Will definitely be back!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, from growing up with them to raising my own as an adult. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to two rescue pups, Louise and Leo. I’ve had Louise for six years, and Leo joined our family in August 2025. They truly are like my children and are spoiled with love, care, and attention every single day. Having two rescue dogs has taught me so much about patience, training, and understanding each dog’s unique personality. I’ve gained hands-on experience helping dogs overcome separation anxiety, nervousness, and behavioral challenges while building trust and confidence in a positive, gentle way. I strongly believe in providing both physical activity and mental stimulation—whether that means long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or learning new tricks. Right now, Louise and Leo’s favorite trick is “high five,” and they never miss a chance to show it off! I currently work as a real estate agent. Looking to do some pet sitting part-time to make some extra cash in slow seasons. Working in real estate I’m pretty flexible with scheduling and time and work with most things. When I care for your pets, I treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. You can expect reliable care, plenty of affection, and thoughtful attention to your pet’s needs and routine. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I’m committed to giving them the same love and care they receive at home.

“Chantel is really incredible, as soon as Kira met her they made a match, I felt really calm during her care, you know that a baby will be fine.”

About: Growing up we had dogs and lived them all. Got on my own I had a total of 3 dogs and thought I would not have a cat but did and would not have traded her for nothing. Did pet sitting for an older small dog and all went well. Have raised 2 dogs from puppies and one was easy and the other not. I just love animals large or small and right now I'm without any animals. So to be able to take care of and play with dogs of different sizes would be awesome. Dogs and cats are so unique and they make my day and make me smile. Currently I'm retired and take my walks around the pond and feed the ducks as well Currently have some activities at church on Monday morning. Otherwise a doctor's appointment. My time is pretty flexible except for Sunday for church, My animals are always treated like family. They are not meant to be tied up outside either. I feed them well and of course some treats. My philosophy is they can sleep anywhere they want, including my bed. There should be a bed for the dog or cat in more.than one room. Do my best to keep them safe from hazards just like a child.
