Doggy Day Care in Crystal River

“Many pet daycare facilities close between 6:00 pm and 7:30 pm, so I looked on Rover.com to find a pet sitter who coud watch my dog later than that while I went out to dinner. I was glad to find Sarah. Sarah was very friendly and I felt comfortable leaving my dog with her. Her home looked like a very nice environment in which pets could happily play and rest. I would leave my dog with Sarah again.”

“Katie (and her family!) are the BESTESSESSESS!! This was the first time we left our puppy with a stranger or ever used Rover so I was a bit anxious. She did a meet n greet with us to relieve some nerves. She sent pictures every day. Each day Riley went she was pulling me out of the car tail wagging running to the front door. I'm so grateful for Katie, we were able to enjoy our vacation and know our puppy was safe and being loved on!!!!”

About: Hi, I’m Taylor, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and needs! I offer boarding, walking, and house-sitting, and specialize in everything from puppy energy to senior snuggles. I’ve worked with repeat clients over the years and am comfortable handling structured routines, medication schedules, and special dietary needs. My late senior dog Jake, who passed in July 2021, taught me just how rewarding it is to give older pets the comfort and compassion they deserve. On the flip side, I’ve also fostered plenty of puppies, and currently have a 5 month old pup of my own named Spur! I know how important it is to keep them active, consistent, and safe as they grow. Cats are a big part of my care experience too – I’ve bottle-fed kittens and cared for elderly cats needing daily medications, ear drops, special foods, and that gentle, patient touch only a true cat person can give. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a long walk, a quiet cuddle session, or just keeping things calm and consistent while you’re away, I’m here to help. I treat every pet like my own, with love, attention, and respect for their unique personality and needs. I'm working from home with pet-sitting, photography, and marketing jobs! I am very flexible in terms of travel and overall availability. Early mornings, afternoons, nights - I'm your gal! I have a big yard with many in-ground leads for the dogs to play safely without escape! My other two (very kind) fur babies will keep them company while they're away from home. While we do have cats, they are very independent creatures and usually reside in one room of our home. Easy to shut off for those who don't love felines!

“We had Veronica watch are puppy Bo and she did an amazing job! We absolutely loved her and he had so much fun. She sent tons of photos and videos throughout his stays and it was clear that he was having a great time. We would highly recommend her and will be using her much more in the future!”

“I almost hate to review this true gem! Linda will puppy sit one dog at a time which is great for my people-friendly, dog-hesitant fur baby. Her love of pets is so very apparent the moment you meet her. What a truly great find.”

“Erica was very amazing with Sadie !!! Was Sadie’s first time away from her human Mom and Erica didn’t hesitate to step up and offer to take her for the afternoon. Sadie did well and I am very happy to have met Erica. Comfortable knowing next time I come to town I have a safe place to leave my pup. Thank you so much Erica for your kindness.”

“I am a fellow Rover sitter and needed someone to watch our young dog for a few hours while we visited family in the area. Christini was able to take out dog in with short notce. She was flexible with our times and provided the care we needed. First time leaving our dog with someone, so knew she would be a little nervous. Thank you.”

About: From pups to great Danes, turtles to amazon green parrots, fish and more, love them all. Cats are great but only can do drop in visits. I work from home and pets will go out supervised in the yard and walks, weather permitting( down pour rain). Letting pets out IS MY PRIORITY!! I have a fenced in shaded yard perfect for small sunbathing and rolling around in the grass. Great for doing zoomies and playing ball lots of fun!!

“Bentley had a wonderful time with Sandra. I would recommend using them, you won't be disappointed.”

“What a wonderful first Rover experience! We needed a last minute sitter (and I have honestly never used a sitter for a dog before, but our sweet boy’s anxiety has become problematic for leaving him home alone for any length of time). I reached out to Candace, and she responded immediately. She and her husband were so kind and welcoming, and put me and Reggie at ease. On pickup, Candace provided a very thorough description of Reg’s visit at her home, so I am confident that he had a great day. It was great to be able to relax and know that my buddy was in good hands!”

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover who grew up in a home where pups were part of the family, and that same energy carries into how I care for every dog I meet. I’ve raised and trained my own dog, Wiley, and have years of experience boarding and pet sitting for friends and family. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will get plenty of attention, snuggles, and potty breaks throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to create a calm, happy environment where pets feel safe and loved. What sets me apart is the care and consistency I provide—whether it’s sticking to your pet’s routine or taking the time to connect with their unique personality. Since I work from home full-time, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Throughout the day, I take regular breaks for playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. Having a flexible schedule means your dog will never be left alone for long, and I’m able to stick closely to their routine. Evenings usually include another walk and wind-down time, so they feel comfortable, relaxed, and loved all day. Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment is my top priority. I only take in friendly, well-socialized dogs to ensure a positive experience for everyone. My home has a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and supervised potty breaks. Inside, pets have plenty of space to relax, and I keep an eye on them throughout the day since I work from home. I follow each dog’s specific routine so they feel comfortable and cared for, just like they would at home.
