Doggy Day Care in Gillivan

“Tom was great. He showed care for my senior dog and was very accommodating with the special requests I made to keep my boy from being upset in an unfamiliar environment. I will rebook with Tom again when the need arises.”

My day naturally revolves around ensuring that all the animals in my care, both my own and my clients', receive the attention, love, and care they need. Here's how pet care fits into my schedule: - **Daily Routine**: My day starts early with feeding and attending to my 7 dogs, ensuring they get their morning exercise and playtime. This routine extends seamlessly to any pets I care for, incorporating their feeding, grooming, and exercise needs into my schedule. - **Dedicated Time for Pets**: I set aside dedicated times during the day specifically for pet care activities such as feeding, playtime, and providing companionship. This ensures that each pet receives the focused attention they deserve. - **Experience with Multitasking**: Managing a busy household with multiple pets and children has made me highly efficient at multitasking. I can smoothly integrate pet sitting duties into my daily activities without compromising on the quality of care. Pet care is more than just a part of my routine; it's a passion and a natural extension of my daily life. With a deep love for animals and a well-structured schedule, I am fully equipped to provide top-notch care for your pets. Caring for dogs in my home is a labor of love that involves creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment. Here’s a glimpse into how I ensure that every dog in my care feels right at home: - **Safe and Comfortable Environment**: My home is set up to be dog-friendly, with designated areas for play, rest, and feeding. I ensure all spaces are safe and free from hazards, providing a secure environment for the dogs. - **Routine and Structure**: I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. This structure helps dogs feel secure and reduces anxiety. - **Regular Exercise and Play**: I provide ample opportunities for exercise and play, tailored to each dog's energy level and preferences. This includes daily walks, play sessions in the backyard, and interactive games to keep them mentally stimulated. - **Personalized Attention**: Each dog receives individual attention and affection, whether it's through grooming, cuddling, or simply spending quality time together. I make it a point to understand each dog's personality and needs. - **Socialization**: My dogs are well-socialized and enjoy the company of other dogs. I supervise all interactions to ensure they are positive and enjoyable for everyone involved. - **Healthy Diet**: I adhere to each dog's specific dietary requirements, ensuring they have access to fresh water and nutritious meals. I also accommodate any special dietary needs or preferences. - **Health and Wellness**: I monitor the health of the dogs closely, looking out for any signs of illness or discomfort. My experience enables me to provide basic first aid and administer any necessary medications. - **Calm and Loving Atmosphere**: My home is a calm and loving environment where dogs can feel relaxed and at ease. I use positive reinforcement and gentle handling to make every dog feel comfortable and cherished.

“We were in from out of town and had to make an emergency last minute booking. Christina was happy to have our girls! She was super warm and welcoming and gave regular updates. When we picked up our pups, she surprised us with a cute painting she did with their paws! 100% would recommend her to anyone in the area.”

About: I am a dog lover and have had dogs in the past of varying ages and temperaments. I am a firm believer that pets bring out the best in us and I am no exception! While it is not the right time in my life to get another dog, I still love spending time with them! I am currently working remotely and would love to watch after some pets while doing so after moving here from Indiana. I have had dogs throughout my life and love caring for them! I am very attentive to each pet's needs whether it be how frequently they need to go out or if I need to make a nice fluffy spot for them to lay down!

“Lauren was wonderful with Lola! I was nervous at first, but her updates reassured me, and Lola clearly had a great day and was so well cared for.”

“Vainy helped us out with short notice and did an outstanding job! She sent pictures and was very easy to communicate with. My dogs seemed very happy when I picked them up. I would definitely trust her to watch my dogs again!”

“Tatyana did a great job providing doggy daycare twice a week! I moved to SC and my son in Dublin, OH took care of Louie for a month while I traveled for work. I was so relieved that Louie was well taken care of and happy when my son was at work! He typically doesn’t like other dogs and Tatyana appropriately introduced him slowly to her dog and they became buddies. Louie looked forward going to her house and he’s an anxious picky pup. I highly recommend her!!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, parrots, hamsters, fish during all my life. Not only mine, also my friends’ pets. Now I feed squirrels on my backyard (nobody in the house should know about it) I’m available to see my fluffy friends on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday - before 6 p.m. and after 9 p.m. , any other day - full-time. I create such atmosphere so that pets can have the time of their life: play hide-and-seek, pat their bellies as much as needed. I don’t give bones to them (if only it’s a toy-bone or kind of snack you bring)!

About: My intro to pet care started in my childhood, including an unexpected pregnancy of our family dog resulting in the birth of 13 puppies! 15 years into adulthood I adopted a dog and currently have a 2 y/o goldendoodle. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule. I get my own dog out for walks daily and a game of fetch as often as possible. Available for morning, lunchtime, and evening drop-ins, bringing your dog along with mine, or devoted individual attention. Can crate in my home or drop in to yours. Walks, parks, hikes, games of fetch, cuddles, and treats. My home includes extra attention from elementary and middle school aged kids.

“I was so pleased with the services provided by Amber while watching my little one. She interacted with her wonderfully and gave her lots and lots of attention. Amber kept me updated with pictures and messages and I feel truly comfortable with leaving my dog with her, and I look forward to the next opportunity.”

About: Hi! I’m Aesha — a registered nurse, lifelong animal lover, and proud dog mom to a 2-year-old Golden Retriever and a 5-year-old mini Goldendoodle. They’re both incredibly sweet, well-socialized, and love having new dog friends around! I work from home most days, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. On the two days a week that I go into the office, I come home during my lunch break to let the dogs out and check in — so they’re never left for long periods. understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone. In my home, dogs are treated like family — with structure, love, exercise, and lots of cuddles. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing. Whether your dog loves to play, go on walks, or just relax in a calm environment, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home.
