Doggy Day Care in Chapin

“Roo had a great time playing with the little dogs in Annadel’s backyard. She sent us videos of her playing. We will be using her again when in the area.”

“Our doodle is always SO happy to go with Caitlyn! (She might love Caitlyn more than she loves us, tbh.) Caitlyn is just so calm and good with dogs - she can even clean those fluffy ears sometimes, which is so above and beyond for a “dog sitter”… she’s more like our pooch’s second family. Her house is organized to be dog friendly. I recommend her for doggie daycare AND boarding!”

About: Animals are my passion and caring for them is my kind of fun! The quality of care and love I provide is reflected in my pricing. I have cared for family, friends and my own pets since 2009 - feeding, watering, training and administering medication. I worked for The Animal Hospital of Monticello from December 2021-September 2023 where I cared for many different breeds of cats and dogs, at many different age and health levels. I am familiar with animal first aid and am regularly educating myself on medical concerns/treatments because health is my #1 priority. I also love to learn about animal behavior (of all sorts-I'm very nerdy), enrichment and training because I believe a mentally and physically happy animal is a healthy one. I also have experience caring for exotic animals including guinea pigs, chinchillas, rabbits, and lizards. I am happy to learn the needs of whatever baby I am caring for! I will not board any exotic animal or cats for their safety, but I'm more than happy to provide stop ins! ***If I do not believe I can care for your pet properly for whatever reason, I may have connections to those who do have the ability and I will be happy to help you find a new care giver.*** I am currently caring for two dogs from my home three times a week M,T, Th. They train, play, eat and snuggle with me all day. I also have a ten year old, so If we humans have errands, vacations or an emergency-I let the pet parents know as far in advance as possible. I have two very friendly Australian Shepherd type dogs, an 11 year old human child, a husband and three cats of my own. (Somehow we all get along!) Your fur baby will have the comfort of lots of friends nearby if they come to stay with us. I do require dogs to be up to date on all vaccinations, dog & cat friendly and kennel trained if boarding with me. (So during quiet times they have a familiar, safe and secure place for them to go if they're feeling overwhelmed, or if I need to separate anyone for any reason. I also believe it's simply safer for the dog in case of an emergency.) All animals are allowed on the furniture and often I will find myself snuggling on the couch with the babies. My family also has knowledge on animal care and handling so your fur baby will be under the best care no matter who is in the room. When stopping in I will spend 30 or 60 minutes with your pet baby (depending on your choice: there is a up charge for 60 minutes) feeding, watering, playing, pottying and walking. When choosing the 60 minutes I will also do basic obedience and manners training with your dog. I could try with cats but I can't guarantee my results. I also love pet photography so taking photos of your babies will be a free service offered along with their stay or stop ins. This will NOT be guaranteed every time.

“Repeat customer. Jamie is wonderful. Finn is a shy boy who pines for mama while I’m away, but he’s always distracted at Jamie’s house with her doggies, enough that he only misses me a littler while there. She is the only sitter I’ll leave my puppy with!”

“We’ve been using Nate for a couple weeks and our dog Boomer LOVES his time there. He’s great about taking Boomer for walks and playing with him. Boomer has severe separation anxiety so it’s hard to find someone we really trust not to leave him alone. We’ve found that trust with Nate.”

“This is the first chance I've had to leave a good rating for Lindsay. 5 stars are in order. So much appreciate Lindsay's flexibility and understanding as we had some car trouble that day. I am very much looking forward to future stays at Lindsay's house for my two fur babies! Thanks again!”

About: Hi there! I’m Masha — a 28-year-old USMC veteran with a huge heart for animals. I’ve been caring for pets through Rover for several years now and have built lasting connections with so many amazing clients (both human and furry!). Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From daily dog walks and overnight stays to giving medications and spending quality time with shy pets, I’ve done it all. I understand that every pet has their own personality and quirks, and I always take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet parents often tell me how much they appreciate my reliability, communication, and the genuine care I give their pets. I have a solid track record on Rover with tons of glowing reviews, repeat bookings, and a five-star rating that I’m really proud of. I’m punctual, respectful, and have my own transportation, so you can count on me to show up and give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether you’re heading out of town or just need some extra help during the day, I’m here to make things easier for both you and your fur baby. Can’t wait to meet you both! Im available during most days since I currently work evenings. My schedule is flexible and I will communicate if something doesn’t fit my schedule. 😊 I always ask for specific care instructions because all animals are different and always ask questions if I don’t understand something. I also send hourly updates and pictures.

About: I have been taking care of my friends’ pets while they are on vacation for several years now. I make sure they get all the love and snuggles in their absence. I also have two dogs in my home that love when we have furry friends come over for an extended stay. I work from home as an audiobook narrator and am home the majority of the week. I have a fairly flexible schedule most days of the week. I have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of room to explore and run around in. My two dogs spend a lot of time out there when the weather is nice.

About: I have loved animals of all kinds and all sizes for my entire life, i grew up on a 40 acre working farm and i have also worked as a veterinarian technician and have over 20 years experience caring for Animals of all kinds-dogs, cats, peacocks, chickens, horses, goats, rabbits, ostriches, elk, deer, and more! Caring for animals is a natural part of my everyday life. Living on 5 peaceful acres in the country, I spend my days surrounded by pets—my own cats, dogs, and occasional farm animals. I build my schedule around giving each pet plenty of love, attention, exercise, and rest. Whether it’s daily walks, medication administration, or simply cuddling on the couch, I make sure every animal’s needs are met consistently and lovingly. My experience as a veterinary technician taught me the importance of routine, observation, and compassionate care, which I bring to every pet I look after. Pet care isn’t just a job—it’s part of my lifestyle and passion. I prioritize safety and comfort above all else. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, secure environment on our quiet 5-acre country property, with plenty of space to explore under close supervision. All areas are pet-proofed to prevent accidents, and I closely monitor each animal’s behavior and health throughout their stay. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their routines and spaces, keeping their environment clean and safe while providing attentive, loving care. I follow all instructions carefully—whether feeding, administering medication, or handling special needs—to ensure each pet feels secure and comfortable. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential. I communicate openly and promptly, providing updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind that their beloved companions are in caring hands.
