Doggy Day Care in Etowah

“Lacie was absolutely wonderful to our Cockapoo, Biscuit. We did day care in her home and she has a house perfectly suited to having animals and a huge fenced yard. She clearly loves animals and I’m so glad I found her. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“We were initially apprehensive about leaving our anxious pup at doggie daycare, but upon meeting Jaren, our worries melted away. Their fenced-in, lush green yard, complete with a variety of dog toys, immediately reassured us. We were warmly greeted by their adorable mini Aussie Shepherd, Bowie, who quickly became fast friends with our dog, Dale. Meeting Ann and their other two friendly doggies only reinforced the welcoming atmosphere. The easygoing nature of the household made drop-offs and pick-ups effortless. Dale returned home pleasantly tired from a day of play, without feeling overwhelmed.”

“KaLynn was very kind and understanding about working with my dog with separation anxiety. Her fenced area is perfect for pups to play while still having space. She was communicative and easy-going, and I felt comfortable while I was out for the evening. Thanks for your help!”

About: My name is Kristina, I own two dogs (aussies!) and 2 cats. I train my dogs for agility and compete regularly, we almost have our championship! I work from home as a Graphic Designer, which allows me to be extremely flexible when it comes to taking care of your pets. I love sending pictures! A picture is peace of mind, you know that I'm there when we agreed I would be and you can see just how much fun your furry friend is having. I know how I feel when I'm away from my dogs and a picture helps so much. I understand how expensive it gets having multiple pets so I've drastically reduced the additional pet prices. Have questions or want to book recurring visits? Ask and we'll work something out! I can take care of your pets however you like. I am no stranger to elaborate instructions so feel free to tell me exactly how you want me to do things. I'm happy to water plants, pick up the yard, give meds, etc.

About: I’ve always loved animals! At 9 years old, my sister and I passed out flyers in our neighborhood offering to take care of people’s pets while they were on vacation. That started me on a path of animal care that I’ve continued since. I’ve cared for many breeds and temperaments of dog, from Papillons to Pit bulls! I’ve yet to find one I didn’t adore. I’ve taken a handful of training and behavioral courses. I work from home and don't have a set schedule, which means I can cater my time to fit your pups needs! I am very flexible when it comes to bathroom breaks and walks. I’m not an overly active person so extra high energy dogs won’t be a great fit. I am in a house on 1.5 acres. It is not fenced in but we have plenty of yard to explore. Because I don't have a fence, I will not let your dog go off leash. Your pups are welcome, and in fact encouraged, to be on the couch with me. As well as sleep in bed with me if they prefer. I also have plenty of room for any size crates if your doggo prefers their own space. Bottom line, I want my home to feel like a second home for your fur babies!

“Calvin was a wonderful dog sitter for a whole week. I was instantly comfortable with his demeanor and professionalism. I knew my dogs were in good hands.”

“Michelle was very responsive and attentive to our dogs during a daytime visit at her home. They are not boarded very often and it was comforting that she gave them the attention they needed. Would definitely use her again!”

About: Hello, My name is Michael. I'd like to welcome you and your dog to Lila's Doggie Day Camp. I love dogs and understand that finding the right people to watch your furry family members is not a decision to be taken lightly. I offer over 25 years experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments...seriously, I'm a dog guy! I have a big yard and and close to many popular dog walking spots like Etowah and Mills River Park, the Ecusta Trail, and Pisgah. I work from home so your dog will never be left unsupervised. I offer full service care...walks, play time, belly rubs, you name it. I also offer daily photo and video updates if you'd like. Feel free to call any time! I work remote from home so your furry four-legged family member will never be left alone. They are always free to roam around - inside or out - and share any bed available. I have a fenced backyard and nearly an acre of property. Plenty of room to run, zoom or just lay back and relax the beautiful Etowah countryside.

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind and size since I was 10. I’ve taken care of blind dogs, Diabetic dogs, and dogs that are prone to seizures. I worked at a veterinarian office for two years and while in the military was a volunteer at vet clinics on the weekends when I wasn’t on duty. My whole life has revolved around animals from Chihuahuas to great Danes. I have assisted in potty training for young pups with great success. It just takes love and patience. Dogs are a chapter in our lives, but to dogs we are their whole book. I am retired and Home seven days a week. I have nothing but time on my hands and I want to spend it caring for pets. If your pet is staying overnight with me first thing to know is they will be sleeping with me in a king size bed, snoring is a plus 😊 in the mornings when we get up, usually around 6:30 or seven, we go outside to potty. If your Pet is not potty trained, no worries I will have pee pads light out in case of any accidents. Once we come in, I make their breakfast and while they eat, I have my coffee. After they eat, I wait around an hour and a half to two hours before play time, this gives their food time to digest, especially in big dogs that are prone to stomach flips. We will chase balls, play, tug-of-war, or whatever their toy of choice is even if it’s just play play play. We go for walks in the evening and then it’s dinner time. After dinner, I like to brush them and just sweet talk them.

“Kharen was a great dog-sitter for our pup and provided pics throughout the day. Zilly came home happy and exhausted from playing all day. Kharen was also super flexible with us when we had some unexpected traffic that required extending pick up time. We really appreciated her and Zilly loved her! Thanks Kharen 😊”

About: My name is Mac Graf and my husband and I live right outside Hendersonville, NC. I am a certified and licensed athletic trainer and am the Director of Sports Medicine as my full-time job. I work 90% of my job from home, and would love to help take the stress off your work day by allowing your fur family to hangout with me and my family for the day. I take my work seriously whether that be with my patients or with my fur friends. I fostered dogs throughout undergrad to give me more experience and make a change in an animal's life. I ended up adopting one of my foster dogs in 2020 and it was the best decision i've ever made! I rescued another dog in February of 2023, so I have lots of personal dog experience. I understand that having a dog is not just having a pet, but it is another family member. I treat them as such. With my experience as a foster, and being a pet owner myself - I know that I am responsible and loving towards all animals. I would love nothing more than to help take the stress off other dog owners, and help take care of them when needed. Since my job is 90% remote work, I have the flexibility to take my dogs on a walk or play outside in the fenced in area of our home multiple times a day. Throughout the work day they go outside multiple times - usually with a longer walk at the end of my work day. I ask the person I am dog sitting for what they want, and I always accommodate to whatever makes my client feel most comfortable with! We have two baby gates at home, so if we ever need to separate dogs in our home, we have the ability to do so. I always will be respectful of my clients and whatever their wishes are.

“My dog got to spend extra time with Ashley! She's great with dogs. Thank you!”

“We didn't get to meet Alan, but his family was lovely and so sweet. Sounds like Dennis was entertained and busy while he was there. He is extremely tired now that he is back home.”

About: I've had dogs my whole life and currently have 4 very happy snoops from small to large. I'd love to walk, hike and/or run your dogs to keep them happy.I've cared for puppies and senior dogs and am comfortable with both. Pet care is easy for me since I don't have a regular work schedule. I retired as a Navy contractor and competitive triathlete. I can walk them, let them out and feed them early morning and late evening. We have a large fenced in dog yard and can bring your best friends to our house to run in a safe area, this is especially nice for dogs that don't do well around other dogs.

About: I have taken care of pets as long as I can remeber. People ask me to help them with their pets all the time. Your pets are part of your family. I will treat them as the treasures they are. I am available every day from 7:30 am to 7 pm. With those hours it gives me a lot of time to keep your fur baby entertained and fed. I know that for my own clan of animals that I prefer to board them at home. I like to offer the same service to my clients. Kenneling at home keeps your pet comfortable in surroundings they are used to. I can swing by to feed them, walk them, and just keep them company at least twice a day.

“This is a great family and I’m starting to think my dog loves them more than she loves me. They’ve been flexible with my work schedule which has made a huge difference in my life and my pup’s. She always passes out snoring after spending the day over there. Happy puppy! Thank you so much!!!”

“Maria has watched my dog Arty several times, and if you ask him, he would give her 10 stars! I can tell he really likes it there by the way he gets so excited when he realizes he’s there for the day! I get several pictures of his play day once a day, and sometimes a cool video. A great way to stay in touch with your pet while he’s away during the day. Maria’s French bulldog Stella is a very intelligent, tolerant dog, and is now Arty’s best friend! I would highly recommend Maria for pet watching in her home and boarding.”

“My dog has separation anxiety and loved his old doggy daycare back in our old town. I had trouble finding a daycare here when I moved that he liked and that fit with my schedule. We're so lucky we stumbled on Ryan. She has super flexible hours so I can stay late at the office if needed. She has all sorts of animals so Ludo is never lonely. She's also a retired vet tech so she has plenty of experience with all kinds of animals. Ludo barely even notices when I walk out her door to leave him for the day, and that's HUGE.”

About: Growing up, my family has always had lots of pets. Big and small dogs, cats, rodents, birds and fish. I had my last dog, Raya for 8 years. I don’t think I will be able to get another dog for a long time, so for now I’m very happy taking care of yours as my own. I do also have some dog training experience as well, so if that’s ever a need, I’d be happy to help with that. Upon request, I can provide you my wonderful references from over the years (: My schedule is very flexible, just give me a few days notice if you're looking for overnight care. I'm also available for dogs walks daily! I currently provide drop in, and overnight services in clients homes. And I am committed to not only making your dog feel safe and comfortable, but also providing a fun, enriching environment for them. I have experience with dogs of all temperaments, ages and breeds.
