Doggy Day Care in Columbia

“Lexie was great with communication. Huck had a great day with the other dogs! I appreciated that she rinsed him off before I picked him up too. He had fun in the run and got a bit dirty. :). Loved the horses, goats and chickens. Will use again- only drawback is location isn’t very close to my home.”

“Randi is fantastic! She put my mind at ease with my boy. Super grateful for her taking care of my pup at late notice and giving excellent care. Highly recommend!”

Sam B.

“Super friendly! Our dog enjoyed her time!”

“Michael and his wife were awesome! They instantly made us feel comfortable. They had a few other dogs to watch but all was managed well! Michael communicated well throughout the day. Our dog came home happy and tired :)”

Dejah H.

“My pups don’t love everyone but they enjoyed their day here. Buddy is an anxious dog but adjusted very well and was comforted by the other animals upon arrival. Misty was way more comfortable and content than in a typical daycare setting. Both came to my vehicle with less anxiety than normal. We will be back.”

Mariah T.

“I feel so fortunate that found Katheryn to watch Blue while I work in Columbia, South Carolina. She's so sweet with Blue, flexible and reliable, I highly rerecommend her and will use her any time I'm working in the area.”

Cheryl S.

“Totally amazing! My dog can be slow to warm up to new people but she was able to make him feel comfortable and safe from the first day. I really appreciated the updates as well, would rebook any time I need a sitter.”

Veronica R.

“My puppy had an amazing time! Super well taken care of, got updates throughout the day. Alexandria was also very understanding about my schedule changes. Will be coming back.”

Reagan D.

“Grace was amazing! A very great communicator and was able to help us out on our trip last minute when we needed someone to watch Luna during my sister in law's graduation. Grace was kind, a great listener, and Luna came back from Doggy Day Care well cared for and happy! Would book again in a heartbeat if we're ever in Columbia again 😀”

About: Hi I'm Daquan, I'm 22 and I live with my girlfriend, dog and cat. I'm currently going to Thomas Nelson Community College to become an Athletic Trainer, and as of now I work at the Nike Factory Outlet. I'm also in the process of getting a certificate to become a Personal Trainer. I'm a really respectful and kind person in general. I care for all pets no matter how aggressive they are. I lived with dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and turtles. So I do have a little bit of experience with different breeds and different types of animals. I love animals and I believe it would be extremely fun to meet new pets. Besides I see my pets everyday. I need a break from them.

“I know that Murray is well cared for with Morgan and Grace! He gets LOTS of playtime and cuddles.❤ And they are very quick in replying to messages when I check in on him during the day. They are great about being flexible with my constantly changing schedule. I will definately be taking Murray back to see them again!!!”

About: I have grown up around pets my whole life and have 5+ years of pet care experience. I have experience with extended boarding, administering medication, and with high anxiety pets. I am open for pet care most hours as I am at home full time. This allows me to cater to the needs of each household and pet freely. I have a fenced in yard and two fixed female dogs that are friendly and would love company! One is a pit and is a chihuahua. They are both six years old.

“Maggie was fantastic. We needed someone to watch our dog, Teddy, for part of the day while we were visiting from out of town. Maggie was quick to respond when I initially reached out and made sure she knew everything she would need to take care of our dog for his stay. Teddy can get nervous when we leave him, but Maggie and her dog were the perfect companions for him. Teddy was in a great mood when we picked him up, and we would definitely leave him with Maggie again if we are back in the area.”

About: I've cared for countless furry friends since I was 10 years old. I've grown up with all kinds of dogs my whole life. I am capable of handling any type of pet, wild or calm. I have two amazing pups of my own. Neighbors, friends, family, coaches and co-workers have relied on me to babysit as well as walk their pets. I am currently home for the summer months of May-September as I spend my school year attending the University of South Carolina studying Special Education. My schedule is as open and flexible as can be to take care of your pets! Whether it be long walks, catch in the park, playtime in the backyard, nighttime potty breaks, I will do whatever is necessary to accommodate you and your pets needs.

About: I’ve taken care of animals of every kind since I was young! I grew up with family cats and dogs and have always loved caring for them and playing with them. For the past ten years, I have been dog and cat sitting. I am used to visiting homes but have also housed many dogs and cats in my own home. A few summers ago, I housed and cared for a dog for three months while his owner was out of town. Over the summers, I frequently get daytime visitors when owners don’t want their dogs to be alone all day. I have significant experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I am extremely good with cats, as I’ve lived with one or more my whole life and am very fond of them. We do currently have a young cat in our home, so boarding is temporarily turned off. To explain the gap in my reviews from 2021 - 2023, I was at school and only home for holidays. I am home now for the foreseeable future. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets! I have a car and am happy to visit as many times as necessary. With more advance notice, I can also move my shifts around to be more available for your pets. I have a fenced in backyard where dogs can run around! We have several dog gates in our possession as well if needed—they’ve been used in the past to separate more anxious dogs from my cat—and I am happy to crate your dogs according to your wishes or even aid in crate training. We have bowls of our own but would need dog food brought in. I am also familiar with grooming/brushing and could aid with that. I am very social and love to spend time with animals. If staying in your home, I will make sure to give your pets lots of love and prioritize their well-being. I will always reach out with questions if anything comes up.

“Feel so lucky to have found Chad, he takes such good care of Badger and has an awesome pup (Sandy) who’s a great playmate. Cant recommend enough!”

“Eileen was a very pleasant lady and great with Daisy. We felt very comfortable leaving Daisy with her, who had a good time with her dog. The fenced backyard was great for Daisy to roam around. I would recommend Eileen to anyone who needs a reliable pet sitter.”

About: I have a flexible schedule. I also have flexible weekend hours. I have been dogsitting for 5 or more years. I am very good with details and very attentive. I enjoy it! It gives me a break from my normal routine. I take all my responsibilities seriously and enjoy interacting with animals. The house where I live now does not allow pets, and I like to spend time around animals when I am able. I would like to be helpful to people who go out of town so their pets can stay in their home instead of going to a kennel. I currently dogsit for a few professors and other professionals. I'm sure they would be agreeable to giving a reference if you would like to speak to them! I’m excited to meet you all!! Thanks! I work online as a Teachers Assistant at USC and I’m finishing my PhD which is mostly on the computer so my schedule is super felixible. I can’t allow pets in my home, but I am free to care for your pets in your home, and I have a lot of experience!

About: I love dogs and care passionately they are having a fun and safe time when with me, which is why so many of my friends and families throughout the years have asked me to take care of their loved ones! I currently working from home, so I have plenty of time to play with your dogos! I'm available to walk dogs from 9:00a-7p everyday of the week. I have a large fenced in backyard. I can crate your dog if needed. Sadly, at this time I have no dogs of my own. :(

About: I’ve grown up around all types of dogs. I have past experience pet sitting my neighbors 5 dogs and 2 cats overnight for 3 days. I was trusted with walking, feeding, and bathing family, friends, and neighbors pets. I also volunteer at Pawmetto Lifeline Animal Shelter! I’m currently taking an online course at USC from Monday-Thursday from 10:30 am- 2:30 pm. I have a pretty flexible schedule other than having to attend that class on my computer which I do from my apartment. I am very organized, detail oriented, and great at following instructions. Just let me know what needs to be done and I can do it! I live in an apartment off Main Street and love taking walks outside if your pet were to come and stay with me. I am also comfortable coming to your house/apartment to walk, feed, bathe, etc.
