Top rated Columbia doggy day care sitters

“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.”


“Super sweet with my pup. You can tell he treats every dog like his own. I needed an emergency sitter and he had no problem taking my little girl last minute for a couple of hours. Highly recommend.”


“Riley had such a good time with the other dogs. First time for her to go to doggie daycare. I think I was more nervous than Riley was. Andrea, the sitter, was so kind and patient with her. I will definitely be booking with Andrea again.”


“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.”



“Perfect daycare for Marley. She came back very tired and had tons of fun. Good pictures throughout the day. She had other dog friends to play with and a good yard to run around. Will definitely rebook”

“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.”


“Chad was very accommodating to our variable timeline. He was super responsive, and sent updates during our dogs visit at his house. Our dog had so much fun being able to go in and out of the doggy door and play in the backyard!”
