Doggy Day Care in Decatur

“Donna is wonderful for my skittish fur baby! It’s no wonder the dogs adore her ❤️ She’s easy to love”

“Meaghan and her family did such a great job with Kylo! He had the best day playing with the kids and their pets. It was so good to know he was having a blast and being taken care of while we were gone for a long day at the ball field!”

“Peach had a great time with Shelbi and her clan for day care. She enjoyed having children and midnight to run and play with her. I checked in a few hours after dropping her off and Shelbi was quick to respond and let me know how the day was going. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their babies and care for them like they are a part of their family.”

About: Hi 👋 I’m Victoria! I graduated with a degree in Biochemistry with a concentration in pre-veterinary medicine from Mississippi State University in 2019. Then was admitted to Ross University for their veterinary medicine program. I love animals but decided I’d rather own the vet clinic than be the veterinarian so I worked as a vet tech while getting my MBA. I finished my masters in December of 2022 and have plans to start my own animal hospital. I have volunteered with several animal shelters and wildlife rehab centers since 2016. I worked at Animal Tracks Veterinary Hospital from June 2018 until August 2019. I have been trained in dog CPR at Mississippi State University’s school of veterinary medicine. I can do grooming (dogs and cats), with nail trim and ear cleaning for an extra $20 fee. I am able to medicate (oral, injections, creams, etc...). I have closely worked with with diabetic cats, cats with strokes (wobbly cat syndrome), post surgery care, and canine seizures. I can go on long runs, take them to the dog park, or just spend some time cuddling your furry family member. I will send daily pictures or videos of your pet while you’re away as well! I have experience working with domestic animals (large, small, and farm) as well as bobcats, bunnies, squirrels, birds, skunks, opossums, and coyotes. I am currently working on obtaining my wildlife rehabilitator certification. I’d love the chance to come meet your baby! I am currently working full-time for a tech company and am remote. If your fur babies need out in the middle of the day I can accommodate this as ling as I can use the WIFI. I have a cat, and 2 Australian Cattle Dogs who are very friendly. They are welcome to stay with me if they are potty trained and get along well with others.

“Branden was prompt, checked in throughout the day, and was flexible.”

“I highly recommend Shume! She took awesome care of Mallory during day care and has been great working with my work schedule since I work 12 hour shifts.”

My commitment to animals runs deep—I treat every pet as if they were my own. With open and honest communication, you’ll always know how your pet is doing with regular updates, photos, and messages. I’m happy to stop by for drop-in visits, walk your dog, or offer full boarding for both dogs and cats in my home.

My schedule is flexible when it comes to your needs! I can be available morning, afternoon or evening! Just let me know and I’ll be there. When boarding in my home, your pet will enjoy a secure, fenced-in backyard for playtime and fresh air, as well as a cozy environment indoors filled with cuddles, play, and plenty of love.

If your pet prefers or needs to be crated, I can absolutely accommodate that too—comfort and safety always come first. When checking on your pet in your home, I am always aware and mindful of how you take care of your pet, whether that be leashing or crating.

“Overall, wonderful experience. Kira clearly knows what she is doing and our pups came back EXHAUSTED, which is a miracle haha. She sent some adorable photos of our pups, was easy to reach and quick to respond, and she was super easy to work with. I love that she requires vaccine records before taking in animals, it makes me feel safer about who my dogs are around and what they could catch. We just did doggy daycare this time, but we plan to board with her in the near future.”

“Kristen and her family were wonderful. Oscar,our dog, has only spend 1 other day away from us, so Kristen suggested a meet and greet prior. Oscar met her family, including her dogs, and we got to see how Oscar would respond. It went well. We schedule a time for Oscar to spend 5-6 hours without us. From the time we dropped him off until we picked him up, Kristen kept us informed and even sent photos of Oscar playing in the yard. He was excited to see us when we picked him up, but didn’t seem to be in a hurry to get into the truck to leave. Kristen will be our go-to sitter from now on.”

About: Hi! ❤️ My name is Natalie Ikner. I am 25 years old and am a full time college student with all of my work online & a stay at home mother. I am pretty much always at home so your pups would have someone around 24/7 during their visits! Since I am home full time I’ve decided to start offering my services on Rover to help my fiancé with the bills. Plus, I LOVE animals of all kinds!! So why not? Your pup will have ample play & potty time on account to me being here all hours of the day during their stay. I also offer drop ins. I’m excited to meet your pups!!! ❤️ My schedule is very open so I am always home. I do all of my college work online so I’m open schedule most of the time! I do not keep my dog in a crate, but I do hourly potty breaks (or more if needed for that specific animal) and I do allow my dog on my bed occasionally.

“Colleen was able to watch Sully for doggy daycare very last minute! When I picked up Sully he was very happy and acting himself. Colleen was a good communicator and sent me updates throughout the day. I felt great about Sully being cared for her!”

Claire L.

“Hope was great! She sent several updates during the day and made sure my dog was comfortable. She was also very flexible and was able to book us last minute. I’ll definitely be using her again!”

“Juyne was so kind and loving to my puppy. It was my first time trying someone watching my puppy in their home so I was nervous. They treated her like she was their own puppy and loved on her all day. I appreciated all the photos Juyne sent me through the day so I could see how much fun they were having.”

Kristy S.

“My pups love spending time with her and her dogs!”

About: We have been caring for dogs, cats, donkeys, goats, and pigs for well over 10 years. We have recently moved to Athens and bring with us that experience to offer to you! We have helped birth and raised numerous dogs, numerous cats from birth, to include bottle feeding both dogs and cats. I have worked at horse ranch as well. My wife and I have grown up around and cared for animals all of our life. I currently work full time and I'm home by 5pm, but my wife is a stay at home mother, so someone will always be available for potty breaks, feeding, watering or play time! We are able to do drop in visits, boarding as well as dog sitting! We currently have 4 very friendly dogs that get along great with any animal we have had over or around, so plenty of friends for your pup to play with! We also have a large fenced in yard, and a shop with concrete flooring for shelter if needed.

“I wish I could use Amber over and over again! I live in Indiana and came to Alabama for a quick visit. Amber was accommodating to the difficulty that comes with timing when traveling. She is so kind and warm. She made me feel so reassured about dropping off my two boys and it looks like three of them had a blast. If I lived nearby she would 100% be my go to for all my trips. LOVED her!!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was around 7 years old, I grew up riding horses and being on the farm almost every day! I’ve had my own dogs for about 12 years now. I used to watch a few family’s farm animals/ dogs back in high school and right after high school but then I got a plant job so I wasn’t able to take care of People’s animals working 12 hour shift shifts . But now since I am building my own boarding/daycare facility at home, I am able to start watching animas again! Every animal has a different personality and I just love meeting new fur babies to take care of! I’m currently not not working so I am very flexible and available. I am currently in the process of building my own kennels for boarding/ daycare and bathing at home ! I have 3 dogs of my own and my husband has one ! They are all inside dogs but they love to be outside playing or going for a walk or even swimming in the summer !

About: I’ve cared for all sorts of animals since I was 14, from my own pets to those at local shelters. I now foster with a local shelter where I’ve helped save dozens of shelter animals, patiently nurturing them until they found their furever homes. I’ve decided to share my passion for caring for animals by helping pet owners feel at ease while they’re away. I’m transparent, dependable, and treat every pet like family. I have a large fenced in yard, Furbo pet cameras, and use AirTags for collars for extra peace of mind. I have two friendly dogs, and two sweet cats who are used to a revolving door of foster animals. I’m home full time to provide walks, playtime, and potty breaks. My goal is to make sure you feel completely comfortable leaving your babies in my capable, loving hands and I’ll always go the extra mile to do so. I’m home full time, so I can spend the entire day with your pets. My husband wakes up around 5 AM to let our dogs out and I let them out at 10 PM before I go to sleep. We normally walk our dogs in the morning but sometimes in the evening as well. We have a large gated yard with plenty of grass and a doggie door, so dogs can safely come and go as they please throughout the day. All our rugs are washable and our floors are hard wood for easy cleaning. There is a couch in our quiet office for animals who prefer privacy and washable plush pet beds in our living area, our furniture is also pet friendly. I’m experienced in giving medications and making sure all pets stay up to date on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. I also have a pet-friendly minivan for those who enjoy car rides! Our two teenage daughters share my love for animals, so your pets will get plenty of love, attention, and cuddles all day long. Pets in my care enjoy a safe, loving, and structured environment. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of grass, a doggie door for easy access, and Furbo cameras when I leave the house. I use removable AirTags on collars for extra peace of mind. I have fostered and cared for dozens of animals from shelters, so I can easily adapt to all types of personalities and situations. Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, I am patient, understanding, and treat them like family every step of the way.

About: I am a dog lover through and through. I have always had a love for dogs of all kinds. I love to take care of friends and family's pets while they are away and I promise to take the best care of your best friend while I am with them. I am a mom of school aged children, so I am often around during the day. I work part time and will be available in my off time to watch your pup! If I have to run out while your pet is home with me I have a fenced in back yard, crates, or playroom for them to run around in depending on your preferences. I have a fenced in back yard for your best friend to play in. I also allow dogs on my furniture if you prefer and have dog beds for them to sleep on if they need it.

“Becky is truly awesome! She sent pictures of Jax enjoying himself and definitely put us at ease with leaving him with her. Jax seemed to enjoy himself so much I was afraid he might not want to go home with us! I’ve already booked her for our next out of town trip!”
