Top rated Columbia doggy day care sitters
“While traveling for the wknd to St Louis- I decided to pick Jennifer due to her previous ratings. I wanted to go out, adventure the area with a friend that lives in the area since my other plans unexpectedly changed. I didn’t want to leave my senior dogs alone in the Airbnb for more than a couple hours. The dogs and I met Jennifer the day before. She was flexible and patient with me while I was trying to figure out the Saturday times and plans on my end. She kept me posted with pictures and videos. I’m glad my boys felt at home at her place with other dogs and her daughter. I will use her next time I'm in the area. She helped ease stress off me so I didn’t have to worry about my boys being solo while I was out. Thank you once again!”
“Mariah was so great with our dog, Levi! Her knowledge of dog body language, and behavior combined with her experience training gave us a lot of confidence when leaving our boy in her care. She was super communicative and kind throughout his stay. Afterward, we talked through some training tips and information on Levi specifically which was so helpful. He has some behavioral issues and reactivity and she handled him so well and is helping us to give him a more structured, happy, and calm life. 10/10 would recommend Mariah to anyone looking for a dog sitter or trainer!”
“Jennifer was so amazing! She took the best care of our 8 month old pup. He had so much fun with her and Archie! She’s the sweetest and was very helpful as we are new to town!”
“Mozzy had a great time playing with other dogs during her stay, Rachell had a wonderful yard to play in and was very on top of maintaining safety and watch over our girl. We got lots of pictures and our Mozzy had a ton of fun and came home exhausted and happy!”
“Haley is wonderful, always giving me details as my little man's anxiety around new people and places lessens every day. As soon as I met her and her children I knew that they'd have a calming influence on him. So glad I found her!!”
“Thank you so very much for taking care of my baby! you were very nice and professional.”
“Jhanae and Melvin are amazing! It’s so nice to be able to go to a long shift at work and not be worried about my fur baby because he is in such good hands! Thanks again!”
“Totally awesome goes above and beyond to take care of our boy Bently! Very friendly would recommend her to everyone who needs a petsitter thank you again Stephanie we will use you again in the future”
“Chico, my elderly Chihuahua, went to doggie daycare with Amy in Columbia for a couple of hours while I met friends for lunch. Amy has such a wonderful way with animals; you can tell she really loves watching them. She took lots of photos, have Chico lots of attention and even had a pet guestbook for him to sign. Such a cute idea. If you ever need a pet sitter, I highly recommend Amy.”
“Wendy was amazing, I could see how much she love and care for the dogs . I felt comfortable leaving my Bella with her , and when I picked her up I could tell that she didn’t look stress like when I used to picked her up from other places . We will definitely come back with Wendy and her dogs .”
“Very good communication. Attentive to our dog's separation anxiety.”
“She’s super helpful and Iggy seems to really like her too. I’ll definitely go back to Ruthie again if I ever need my pom in daycare. ???? Ruthie you’re awesome!”
“Great doggy sitter. Our 2 loved staying with Veronica and Ella. She sent pics and a video while they were there. Ella and LuLu the 2 doodles had so much fun playing in the backyard in the snow. Gia enjoyed the sunshine and the snow. I would trust Veronica to take care of our pups when we are in St Louis again.”
“Jennifer was great! Ari had the best time. I could tell Ari was going to have the best time as soon as I set foot in the doorway. She had such a kind energy. Thank you so much for taking great care of my pup, Jennifer!”
“Kristyn was great! She assured me that my puppy who has separation anxiety and not much exposure to other dogs would be just fine at her home for the day. She was very patient and flexible with my schedule and my puppy was very happy to spend the day with her and her pups! Looking forward to another day!”
“Laura was super friendly and sent lots of photos and videos! Would definitely use her again!”
About: I was a nearly full time pet sitter when I lived in Kentucky for 6 years. I have my own 11 year old Frenchie and am in a blended family with 2 other beloved mutts (about 30-40 lbs each). A full house of playful pets is a happy house. I work from home M-F on Eastern Hours. I regularly take out our 3 pups to have play time in our huge private fenced in yard, let the animals have free roam of the main level of the home (including furniture), so dogs are not crated unless the owner has a preference. We have plenty of spaces to section off areas of the home if dogs prefer to be separated (baby gates galore!) and a private backyard.
“Great and friendly home, safe environment and lots of fun and love for our dogs while we were staying with relatives this weekend. Thank you!”
