Doggy Day Care in Elkton

“Lisa was fabulous (: We could tell that Cosmo and Charlotte were immediately comfortable in Lisa’s beautiful home and with Lisa & her husband. The backyard is securely fenced with plenty of room for the dogs to play, and Lisa’s home is meticulously kept. From the photos she sent, I could see they were very happy while staying there! We haven’t left them with anyone since Cosmo joined our family and we are so happy to find Lisa. Not only is she conveniently located to us, reasonably priced, and a star sitter with Rover, but our dogs seemed to enjoy their time away. Yay! Thank you, Lisa!”

“I am so grateful to have found Mariana to take care of my dog Bentley. She is a fantastic, caring and loving person and Bentley had a wonderful, fun, and safe time with Mariana. While I was out on vacation, Mariana took care of Bentley so professional and so sweet. I will leave Bentley again with Mariana without a doubt. Thank you.”

About: I have experience with small, medium, large, and XL dogs! I've experienced leash aggression dogs as well. With that being said I can also watch reptiles! I have my own cats, toffee hognose, zero-bearded dragons, and a leopard gecko. As someone who has their own pets, I know the importance of knowing that your fur baby is cared for in your absence. Currently, I am a grad student at USAHS enrolled in the OTD program. I have class Monday-Friday but am not gone for longer than 3-4 hours a day. After classes your pet will be with me for the rest of the day so we will have a ton of time to play! Your pet will never go anywhere unsupervised, he/she will always be taken care of as if they were my own, they will be walked every potty break, they will be the only dog in the home too. The only times I will be gone is for classes/labs. I will stick to the rover times you've set through the app to ensure you feel safe with each visit. I'm more than happy to send pictures and videos for updates as well.

“Lindsay is an absolute blessing when it comes to pup sitting. She is great with communication and updates throughout the day and treats your pup like her own. I feel confident and at ease when my pup is in her care.”

About: Animals are a huge passion of mine. I’ve had several dogs since I was very young, and have rescued and rehabilitated/re-homed many! I also have a service dog of my own and have a special talent for training and connecting with every type of dog. I have a privacy fenced in yard with 6 feet high coverage, and plenty of running around space!! I also have my certification in pet CPR. Inside my home dogs are welcome to be themselves and roam free (with supervision, of course) (: I’m well known as the “animal whisperer”, and have a deep soft spot for all pups young and old (: I can’t wait to meet yours! Rover is my only full time job! My focus will be your babies, I have no other obligations that need my attention. You can trust that my eyes will always be locked on them! I strive for your pets to leave and be eager to come back and visit! In my home, dogs are free to be themselves, and will receive lots of cuddles and stimulation. They will be well fed, taken outside several times a day and closely supervised! I am extremely passionate about animals, and how they are cared for. Your pup will for sure leave extremely spoiled (;

“We had such a great experience! This was a pretty last-minute booking while we were visiting St. Augustine, and she was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with from the start. Clara was well cared for and happy when we picked her up, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were out for the day. Communication was smooth, and we really appreciated her flexibility—especially when we ended up running late due to traffic. She was very understanding and kind about it, which meant a lot. We would absolutely trust her with Clara again and highly recommend her to anyone needing reliable, compassionate care!”

“Leanna was so sweet with our elderly yorkie/Chihuahua. Not only did she provide last minute care for us but made sure Ivy was settled and happy and sent us updates. You can tell she not only loves dogs but is a lovely kind person. Thank you!”

Catherine B.

“Taylor took such great care of Mia and Onyx! They had a great time and I would book with her. She came through for us on short notice while we were visiting from Naples. Highly recommend!”

About: What sets me apart is consistency, structure, and attention to detail. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable, hands-on care throughout the day—not just quick drop-ins. I’m especially strong at maintaining routines, which helps pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and small changes so I can adjust care in real time. I’m experienced with: • Puppies and reinforcing basic routines (potty schedules, crate familiarity, structured play) • Adult dogs with regular exercise and enrichment needs • Senior pets who require a slower pace, patience, and closer monitoring • Multi-pet households with different needs and personalities Clear communication is a big priority for me—I provide regular updates and photos so owners always feel confident their pet is in good hands. I work from home and manage a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. I structure my routine to accommodate pet needs first—whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care. I am available for weekday and weekend bookings, including repeat schedules. Because I’m not tied to a traditional 9–5 outside the home, I can maintain reliable routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, and any specific needs before care begins. In my home: • Pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment • I maintain a structured routine to reduce stress and keep pets comfortable • I avoid overcrowding to ensure each pet gets proper attention In clients’ homes: • I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and routines • I respect your home and keep everything clean and secure • I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any signs of discomfort so I can respond quickly if anything seems off.

“Winston had a great stay with Belinda - she was very conscientious about getting to know Winston for his doggie daycare session. I appreciate that since he is a senior dog. Thx Belinda!”

About: We’re a mom-and-dad-run pet care home in St. Augustine where pets are treated like family. As parents of four children and lifelong animal lovers, we’ve created a warm, structured environment where dogs can feel safe, comfortable, and included in everyday family life. While we’re continuing to grow our Rover profile, caring for animals is nothing new to us. We have years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. We also have a professional dog trainer in the home, giving us a deeper understanding of canine behavior, communication, and individual needs. Unlike large boarding facilities, we intentionally keep the number of guest pets small so every dog receives personalized attention, plenty of supervision, and a calm, low-stress experience. Whether your dog is playful and social, prefers a quieter environment, or simply enjoys being around people, we strive to make them feel right at home. Our goal is simple: to provide the kind of care we’d want for our own pets—safe, loving, attentive, and tailored to each individual dog. Pet care is our full-time focus, so someone is typically home throughout the day. We maintain a consistent routine with meals, potty breaks, rest, enrichment, playtime, and plenty of supervision. Because every dog is different, we do our best to follow your pet’s normal schedule and preferences to help them feel comfortable, secure, and right at home. Your pet’s safety and well-being are our top priorities. Our home is set up with secure gates, designated pet spaces, and supervised interactions to help every dog feel safe and comfortable. We intentionally host a limited number of guest pets at a time, allowing us to provide personalized attention and carefully manage each dog’s experience. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and being treated like family.

“Katie was wonderful with Bella! She took her on a walk, played with her, made sure she stayed entertained, and even gave her some nap time. I really appreciated the detailed updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while Bella was in her care. Katie is so friendly, personable, and clearly loves what she does. Bella had a great time, and I felt completely comfortable leaving her in Katie’s care. I would absolutely recommend Katie to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! 🐾💕”

“Tracy is an exceptional caregiver. I have a 15 year old miniature pinscher that Tracy took care of for the day recently. Throughout the day, Tracy checked in with me via text, sending pics of my chilled out dog. I knew my dog was comfortable and calm when Tracy sent a pic of her begging for snacks. When I picked up my dog later that afternoon, she was relaxed and sleepy. Tracy is a consummate professional. After I contacted her about day care, we had a meet and greet so my dog could get acquainted with her. Tracy was on time and exhibited kindness and trustworthiness from the get go. She loves dogs and it showed. I hope to use her day care service again because I know my dog will be well taken care of. Compassion, kindness, and trustworthiness are qualities that Tracy possesses in abundance. I highly recommend her.”

About: Animals are the best. 😍 My fiance and I have had dogs that love running and dogs that have needed a little convincing to get on a walk. We are patient with dogs and love making them happy! We are both athletic but fully capable of having a chill night at home. My car is dog-friendly (Toyota RAV4) along with our home. Our neighborhood is safe and we have sidewalks surrounding us. Our yard is fully fenced in and we have zero stairs in our home. I’d also love to come to your home just to play or take care of your pet while you’re busy/away. As a wedding photographer, I am available on most weekdays and some weekends. We will send photo updates to you throughout our time with your pet! Let me know if you need help! I’d love to meet your best friend. I am a wedding photographer in St. Augustine and work from home whenever I'm not at a wedding! I have time throughout the day to check in on your pets or hang out with them while I edit. I can't wait to meet your BFF! I care for pets as if they are my own. I would never put them in harm's way and I always make sure my home is clean and tidy. Your animals are as important to me as they are to you! I work from home! Most of our mornings start off with a walk around the neighborhood and wind down with a coffee at home. Our home is comfortable and easy to navigate! I will care for your pet just as you would. I take any of your tips and tricks to heart and make sure to apply them when caring for your pet. Every animal is different and I understand that!

About: Your dog will feel pampered, spoiled and loved, and will be treated like a member of our family during their stay. I have had dogs all of my life, usually two or three at a time. I know how to take care of puppies and seniors alike, and every age in between. I am a dog rescuer, and a foster mom whenever possible. I will take dogs up to 15 lbs. only. Each dog has a personality as unique and as individual as people. Their likes, dislikes and habits will be catered to as closely as possible during their stay. Let's schedule a meet and greet to decide if we are a good fit. Drop off and pick-up hours are 10 am - 6 pm. Outside of these hours will be $10, or feel free to reserve an extra day. Fee includes per night, for 24 hour period. Anything past an extra 2 hours will be billed at 1/2 day. Day care covers a 10 hour stay; every hour over is $10. Requirements: >neutered >proof of up-to-date vaccines >flea/tick prevention >friendly with other dogs >food I am home full-time. Errands would never be more than 1-2 hours. Potty breaks are 0-2 hours throughout entire day, up until late in the evening. I require a Meet & Greet with any new client to make sure they get along with my two sweet dogs. They will always be supervised when out in the fenced yard. They can stay in, play or cuddle on the couch - whatever their heart desires. Please bring your fur baby's food, favorite toys, treats, beds, a harness, and a collar with up-to-date tags, including their name!
