Doggy Day Care in Etna

“Sadie’s friends Beau and Bella (black labs) we’re visiting and we needed day care for the week. Bobbie Jo was the perfect solution. She took such care of them and her property was the absolute dream place for the pups. They were tired and happy when I picked them up. She spoiled them so much I was worried they would want to stay!! Plus Bobbie Jo is a wonderful delight. I will always depend on her for taking care of my fur babies. Thank you Bobbie Jo!!!!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was a young child! Even when I was barely four feet tall, I delighted in taking care of, feeding, walking, and of course playing with our pups! And now as an adult, I have 2 rescue dogs that I have trained up and loved on (one a senior dog and one a puppy). Caring for dogs truly gives me joy and allows me to pour into others and give back. We don’t deserve dogs, but I sure am grateful we get to share our lives with them! I work full time from home and have complete flexibility with my work schedule. Leaves me time to feed the dogs, let the dogs out in the back yard, and ample amount of play time! I have a fully fenced in back yard with over half an acre for the dogs to play. The outdoor space has ample amount of grass with plenty of squirrels to chase.

“Champ had another awesome stay with Chelsea and her adorable family. He loves them all and we do too! So happy to have them in our lives. Champ is an only dog so not only are we relieved to have such a great option for sitting, we are so happy he has a great new puppy friend to play with! He comes home happy and tired!!”

“Sara was incredible! She responded to communication quickly. Her home is so clean. The yard is fully fenced. She had a calm and reassuring manner with my 2 young Cavachons who were extremely nervous since they have never been separated from me for more than a few hours since I work from home. I could not have been any happier and will definitely have Sara watch my girls again once our move to the area is complete.”

About: I've had pets nearly my whole life. I absolutely love dogs and cats. How anyone could mistreat an animal is beyond me. I will give the best care to your pet. I retired a year ago although I'm only 53. I have plenty of time and I love animals so I decided to pet sit and board. I have a big back yard that is fenced in. I also have dog beds in my home. I have central heat and air so your pet will be comfortable in my home.

About: As a dog lover, I understand how important it is to give your furry friend the best care possible. Having been a pet sitter for my friends’ dogs, I’ve gained valuable experience in administering medication and sticking to a strict routine. Unfortunately, my fur babies passed away recently, leaving a void in my home and heart. So, I’m excited to open up my home and help others with their adorable pups 💕 As an avid walker, I know how crucial exercise is for our four-legged friends. I’m always looking for an opportunity to hit the pavement, and what better way than to do so with a loyal doggo by my side? I’m confident that I can give your dog the exercise and care they deserve. So, if you need someone reliable and enthusiastic to take care of your furry family member, I’m here for you! As a homeschooling parent, we have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of our time at home. We have plenty of space for your furry friends to run and play, as well as quiet spaces for them to relax and nap. Our schedule is relaxed, and we always have plenty of time for walks, cuddles, and playtime. As an animal lover, I understand the importance of making sure your pets are healthy and happy. When your pets stay with me, they will receive all the love, care, and attention they need to thrive. Whether you need to leave your pets with me for a few hours or a few days, you can be sure that they will be in the best of hands. I have a fully fenced-in yard that provides the perfect playground for all of your furry companions. 💕 I know the pups love a little time to play outside and bask in the sun while enjoying some fresh air! I also understand that safety is important, which is why I do require a crate for your pet. While they have free rein of the yard and house during the day, I am able to keep them safe and secure in their crates at night or whenever the need arises.

About: Hey, I'm Sarah! I’m a stay-at-home mom with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every pet like part of the family. Whether your fur baby needs snuggles, playtime, or just a calm, loving home while you're away, I’ve got it covered. I'm home full-time, so your pet will get plenty of attention and care throughout the day! I’m home full-time and have open availability for pet care, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Whether you need last-minute help or regular visits, I’m here and ready to care for your pet whenever you need! I have a fenced-in yard, four loving and gentle children who enjoy helping with pet care, and no other pets in the home—so your furry friend will get all the attention!

About: Growing up in Sydney, Australia, I spent my summers helping pets beat the heat by shaving and bathing them—a skill I learned early on while grooming my mother’s purebred Shih Tzus and raising puppies. My passion for animals didn’t stop there; I volunteered at a local vet clinic, gaining hands-on experience that would shape my future. In college, my love for animals and creativity merged when I trained my dog for a short film that placed 4th out of 80 student projects. Now living in Georgia, USA, I run a small farm and bring a lifetime of pet care expertise to the table. From fostering kittens to rescuing strays, I’ve always had a heart for animals. My experience spans the spectrum of pets—from dogs and cats to reptiles, rodents, and even farm animals like goats, pigs, chickens, and ducks. I’ve cared for them all, and my home has always been filled with the love of a pet. What sets me apart? Whether it’s caring for a senior dog, socializing a shy cat, or giving special attention to a reptile, I’ve done it all. My unique background and lifelong commitment to animals make me more than just a pet sitter—I’m a dedicated caretaker who ensures every pet feels right at home. I run a small art business from home, providing me with a flexible schedule. I am available all day, every day, to accommodate your pet care needs. Detailed care requirements should be discussed in advance to ensure I can meet all your pets' specific needs. Feel free to reach out to discuss how I can best support you and your furry friends! How Do I Keep Your Pet Safe in My Care? (My home) First things first, I’ll introduce myself and send you a list of important questions. Once you answer them, we’ll have a detailed chat about any concerns or questions either of us might have based on your responses. From there, we’ll determine if I’m the best fit for you and your fur baby. If we’re both happy with the outcome, we’ll proceed with the booking. I’ll take notes and create a personalized care plan tailored to your pet’s needs and safety. We can also arrange a meet-up or a face-to-face video call—whatever makes you feel most comfortable. Or, if you prefer, we can do the meet-and-greet on the day of drop-off. Boarding in My Home I provide pet care in a controlled and secure environment. I can supply beds, crates, bowls, toys, leads, and even collars if needed. The only thing I require you to bring (aside from your furry friend!) is their food, as switching diets can upset their stomach. For Dogs: On the first day, I introduce boarding dogs to my home slowly. I allow them to explore in a calm environment while everything stays quiet, giving them time to acclimate. They’ll have access to comfortable beds, fun toys, and a fully fenced yard to enjoy. I only board one client’s dogs at a time to avoid mixing unfamiliar dogs, which could pose a safety risk. If you have multiple dogs from the same household, let me know, and we’ll schedule them together. This approach ensures each dog gets my full attention. During walks, I carry compressed air and, in serious situations, mace to protect your dog from aggressive animals. For Cats: When boarding cats, I set them up in my quiet, sound-tight office to help them settle in. I give them at least 10 minutes of alone time to explore before gently introducing myself. Every cat adjusts at their own pace, and I provide them with as much time as they need to feel comfortable. Just like with dogs, I never mix cats from different households. If you have multiple cats needing boarding, I will schedule them together, but I never double up on different clients’ cats to ensure their safety and comfort. ⸻ My Commitment to Your Pet’s Safety I provide a secure, comfortable, and loving environment for your pets. My goal is to ensure that both you and your pet feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while they stay with me. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m happy to chat!

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for 30 years. I am an intuitive, attentive caregiver for pets and people alike. I know that your pet's physical and mental well-being are equally important and recognize that sometimes we just need a little extra. Sometimes it's a walk, sometimes it's a belly rub. Whatever it is I love to figure out and help those in my care feel as comfortable and secure as possible. I am a stay at home, homeschooling mom of three older children with a flexible schedule. I can easily accommodate a pet's needs into my day-to-day routine. I have a fenced back yard with lots of shade and a deck. Dogs are welcome inside. I have three indoor/outdoor cats. As long as your pup won't try to eat them, we'll be fine ;) I regularly walk every day and can walk or run your pup as needed!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs/cats for the past 10 years. I love animals so much. I have a sweet cat of my own, and would love to get a dog of my own soon! I would love to take care of and love on your fur babies. I have administered medication to previous dogs I have cared for, and I don’t mind it one bit. I’m currently not working so I am usually available any time during the day. I will work with your schedule while making sure your animal is safe and happy. I am open to dog walks, drop ins, or even keeping dogs in my home. I am open to anything. I know all about dog safety and signs to look for in animals.

About: Friends refer to my home as the petting zoo! A pet friendly location a safe distance from any major roads. The closest neighbor is National Forest, as such, my own animal friends are usually freely scattered throughout the property. I have always respectfully penned the goats upon request while I host guests. As clearly stated by our references, I am an experienced animal keeper. We are that family who will set in the floor to converse with pets while visiting. Together our family has raised an exhausting list of species, worms, bees, beetles, dogs, cats, snakes, tarantulas, bunnies, ducks, turkeys, chickens, peacocks, goats, fish, huge Oscar fish, squirrels, rats, snais, guineapigs, cattle, frogs, tortoises, name one, we have possibly managed one! My 3 children range from age 14 up. There are no little ones or any untrained kids here to hurt or annoy your dogs, but she will surely love and spoil them! We have recently had an old kitty to pass, as you can see in photos this kitty has always stayed by her side while she practiced piano, shared a chair with her when she did school, waited at the bathroom door for her, sat at her feet while she was in time out and beside the tub while she bathed. My oldest daughter manages animal welfare in a prominent pet store. While working she is trusted with transporting their animals to the vet. Anything I haven't yet learned; she is only a phone call away! I have always had dogs, either working, playing, or just cuddlers, I have raised, trained, or sat many breeds! This is an animal home; you can feel the atmosphere as soon as you pull up. I reside on a mountain, All dogs will be leashed while taking potty breaks and outdoor play time. This is a mini farm. I gladly offer overnight, and consecutive day stays. If you're not interested in having me spoil your babies, I may not a favorable choice. The back yard is fenced to ensure your dog can be separated from the rest of the animals if one is concerned with such. They can enjoy the company of the others without full contact. Indoor only is also a respected option. All dogs will be leashed while taking potty breaks. I work at home, therefore I have plenty of time for scratches, snuggles and play!

“Sean has been a great sitter! Prompt communication and is easy and flexible with my working hours. For a new puppy mom and first time user to the Rover app, it was super easy and trusted Sean to take care of my little guy, he even got some training and socializing with other people and dogs in! Will continue to use Rover + Sean when needed!”

About: We've had pets all our lives and love all types. We've dealt with all sorts of variety of ages and medical issues and understand every animal is unique in their needs. Lauren is a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom and Conner works from home, so someone is pretty much always here. We have a variety of farm animals we care for throughout the day as well, so spend a lot of time outside and our dogs are always right by our side. We have 3 acres completely fenced around the house that dogs can have full range of and will always be supervised. If you are worried about them trying to wander, we have an additional 50x100 fenced area we can walk them to with a leash. Inside the house we're very pet friendly and have several baby gates to restrict dogs from certain areas or to separate dogs if we need to. Our dogs sleep in our room and spend the day sleeping on the couch, but we're happy to accommodate whatever your normal rules are.

About: I have taken care of animals and had a love for them ever since I was kid. 23 years of my 40 years of life I have done it in a professional capacity. I have taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters and gerbils, birds, and fish. (In response to that one review about the carpet from 2020. The carpet was like that when I moved in and the landlord refused to replace it unfortunately. I no longer live there. I live in a totally different state. We have beautiful hardwood floors now.) I am a stay at home mom and can give your pet the one on one attention it needs. My son is 14 and loves to help as does my fiance. Your pet will get lots of love from each of us. I have a lovely clean home for overnight stays and doggie daycare. I have a safe neighborhood to go on walks in. I am very professional in a client's home when checking on a furbaby and follow rules precisely.

About: Hello! My name is Hannah and I am an animal science major. Animals have always been my passion. From the time I was a little girl I have always loved animals! I have always had many pets!

I will make sure they are well fed, walked, given water, and all the snuggles.

Pet care is a part of my daily life and has been for as long as I can remember. I take great pride into caring for others. Please provide details on if your fur baby is kenneled, placed in his/her “room”, etc. what treats/toys are allowed. If your home does not have a fence please let me know if there’s any neighborhood pets to look for.

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my genuine love for dogs and specialized care for seniors. I’m experienced in giving medications, providing gentle cuddles, and keeping their space clean and comforting. I treat every dog like family, with patience, kindness, and attention to their unique needs. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I do it full time. This allows me to be fully available, flexible, and focused on giving your pets the attention, love, and care they deserve throughout the day.

About: Ive been working with dogs for 15+ years. Whether that be household pet, or one of my show pomeranians. I actually raise and show Pomeranians in the AKC, so my experience especially with small dogs is vast. Im an actually a realtor, Cedric Duncan Realty, so a-lot of my work is done from home unless I have a showing. I do not try to double book myself to where I cannot fully commit to one or the other. I have a mini sheltie, and a standard poodle to keep your pup company through out the day. Whether it’s chilling on the couch with me or playing in the fenced in yard. Im not a professional groomer, but i can do kist basic grooms, baths trims and possibly shaves. I can aslo attempt to crate train your dog while they stay here. No dogs are left un attended , so if i have to step out EVERYONE is crated.
