Doggy Day Care Grantville

About: Hi, I’m Michelle. I’m a longtime dog owner with over 16 years of experience, and I recently returned to Rover after taking a few years’ hiatus to care for our senior pup full-time. We recently said goodbye to our sweet girl, Mika, who was with us for 16.5 wonderful years. Caring for her taught us so much about patience, comfort, and the extra love senior dogs need. While we’re not quite ready to adopt again, we would truly love to share that love with your pup. My husband and I have a calm, dog-free home, which allows us to give your dog our full attention in a peaceful, low-stress environment. We have a special place in our hearts for senior dogs and those who may need gentler care, but we love pups of all ages. Your dog’s days will include two walks (adjusted for age and energy level), playtime or cozy downtime, treats with your approval, and lots of affection and belly rubs. I also provide photo updates and check-ins so you can feel confident your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. A Few Things I’d Love to Know To provide the best care possible, please let me know: • Any special needs or medical considerations • If your dog experiences separation anxiety • Feeding schedule, diet, medications, or allergies • Their daily routine and energy level • Favorite comforts, routines, or quirks Important Note Extended stay: An additional $25 day rate applies if pick-up is over the 24-hour period. Your pup will get plenty of attention. We can go for walks and have some play time. Ofcourse (if your pet is older we will go for shorter walks) They’ll get treats and belly rubs. We have a patio with grass they can go potty anytime :) I have a cozy and fenced patio. They can sit and lay out by the sun. I also have a grassy area for potty breaks anytime the want.

“Kylie is very responsive and communicates well, which I appreciate. My dog enjoys his days playing with their 2 dogs and others they care for. I’ll definitely continue using their services.”

“Had a last minute trip and Melanie was able to accommodate us. She was very informative, sent pictures and let us know how she was doing. I would love to use Melanie again when we are in town.”

“Jason took great care of my Theodore! Took him on walks, let him get lots of snuggles and love! He came home and was as completely tuckered out after his stay! Thank you Jason for making him a part of your pack!”

About: I have had a family dog my whole life. My current pup is a 2year old mini goldendoodle that is about 25lbs. He is high energy and loves play time, long walks and going to the dog park. I work remote full time so I am home with my dog the majority of my day. Any pet in my care would get the same treatment as my own. Multiple walks, a trip to the park and of course regular feedings. My pet is free to roam my apartment, I have a balcony that he also has free access to during the day. I keep the door open for him.

About: I have a sweet 90lb golden retriever, and a rambunctious and playful rescue mutt! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have gone through puppy training courses with both of my dogs and am comfortable walking large dogs who pull. I can help with training for pulling and walking manners if needed! Whether you need someone to come over and take your pups for a walk and some play time, or you want them to come over and play with my pups, I am happy to help in anyway I can! I work as a nurse only 2 days a week so I am fully available 5 days a week for anything your pets might need! I have a fenced yard and two very friendly pups who love to play. They love having friends over for play dates! My dogs are both crate trained, and sleep in their crates at night. We go for 2 walks a day and usually go to the park nearby for fetch a few times a week! We love to be active and do training throughout the day!

“Amalia was great as always! Her kids are so sweet and I can tell they love having Oakley around, which brings me so much joy. Thank you for being awesome as usual! We love sending Oakley to you”

About: Hi! My name is Kiara and I am a fully remote worker with no pets and a quiet, clean space to spend time with your baby - focusing on one dog at a time to ensure quality attention and care can be provided. I am an experienced dog owner who lost my baby, Shiloh 🐾🪽🤍, after 13 years. Since Shiloh’s passing, I haven’t felt ready to commit to owning another dog full-time. However, I have been big sister/cousin to other dogs over many years and have loved on various breeds, sizes, and personalities. I am particularly experienced in providing calm, laidback environments for furry family and friends, ensuring both pup and I feel at ease with our time together. My work grants me the ability to love on and closely monitor the dog(s) I choose to spend time with in the comfort of my home. I have the flexibility to not only give lots of TLC, but also take them for walks or play in my backyard. I have a healthy work/life balance that avails the opportunity to make time to brighten a pup’s day, giving you some free time and me some added canine joy. While your pup will have open space in my home to explore, I have a safety gate to block off stairs as needed, and an enclosed indoor play area with bowls, toys, and enough room for you to bring their crate / bed. My fully fenced in backyard makes backyard trips convenient and safe, and my neighborhood offers many sidewalks and parks to safely walk my more active friends. Additionally, there is an enclosed dog park right across the street!

“I had such a great experience leaving my dog, Coyol, with Shakyra for the day! From the start, she was incredibly patient during both drop-off and pick-up, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Throughout the day, she kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing Coyol was in good hands. She even took him on a hike, which he absolutely loved! Shakyra was kind, communicative, and clearly cared about Coyol’s well-being. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Shakyra!”

About: Hi there! I’m a proud cat mom to Benny and Ellie, who love sunbathing and harness walks, and I was also lucky to spend 13 years with my Lab/Shepard mix, Lulu. I understand the guilt and anxiety that can come with busy schedules or traveling, which is why I aim to be the kind of sitter who sends lots of updates, photos, and love. I work from home full-time, which allows me to offer flexible scheduling, constant companionship, and attentive care. I provide house sitting, drop-ins, dog walking, and daycare services in my gated community with an enclosed patio, onsite dog park, and nearby hiking trails. Let’s connect! I work fully remote, which gives me the flexibility to plan my schedule around your pet’s needs! Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, playtime, or overnight care, I’m able to provide attentive and reliable care throughout the day. I have a gated patio where your fur baby can sunbathe and relax if they need some fresh air or they can enjoy roaming around my two level town home and hang out with my two cats who love to meet and befriend other animals.

“Colin was sooo good with my dog, Fluffy- who can be particular with new people. He is patient, detail oriented, thoughtful, and provided great updates throughout the day. His home is clean and safe for dogs. I’ll continue to use him as a sitter for Fluffy for as long as he’ll have him!”

“Mrs. Shyrah is awesome! I brought my 2 dogs - Athena (Rottweiler) and Ava (Chihuahua/Dachshund) - to her care, and despite them both being very shy of new people, I was told they did wonderfully, they were so calm and friendly to her at her home. She let both of them feel welcome and let them acclimate to the environment at their own pace. She often sent me pictures and updated me on how they were, which was so great to see. I will 100% be booking Mrs. Shyrah again in the nearby future for all daycare and overnight stays! She’s awesome and my dogs love her! 💕”

“Gladys was a wonderful host for my Layla girl! Gladys' kind spirit and attentiveness to my pup's needs made me feel reassured that she would be well taken care of. Layla came home a happy puppy after her daycare, and I would recommend Gladys for your Pup care needs. Thank you!”

“Whitney is one of the most comprehensive and attentive sitters I’ve gotten. Got loads of pictures and fantastic updates! Definitely a recommend and would love to have her take care of Terry again!”

Helena U.

“Todd and Bill are responsible and experienced dog care providers. Accommodating and considerate of their clients, they give me piece of mind that my wonderful dog is in good hands.”

“Bryan and his wife were great. We did a meet and greet first then I dropped my puppy off for a couple of hours. This was to test the waters for an overnight trip”

About: We’re a dog-loving family of four offering a calm, safe place for your pup to feel at home. I’ve had dogs since I was 10, so caring for them is second nature, and your dog will be treated like part of the family while they’re here. Our dog, Sunshine, is a 4-year-old Aussiedoodle who is incredibly sweet and great with other dogs. She can be a little shy at first, but warms up quickly and loves having a buddy around. I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of attention throughout the day—whether that’s hanging out nearby, playing outside, or just relaxing. We have a fully fenced yard with real grass, lots of plants to sniff, and a sunny patio for lounging. Inside, our home is very low-key and relaxed. We also have two kids (15 and 12) who are gentle, respectful, and love spending time with dogs. Whether your pup wants to play, nap, or just be near people, we create a comfortable, easygoing environment where they can settle in and feel safe. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and am with my dog, Sunshine, all day. Dogs in my care are rarely left alone and can spend the day hanging out with me, getting attention, and going in and out of the yard as they like. Our routine is pretty low-key and flexible, so I’m able to adjust to each dog’s needs—whether that’s more playtime, rest, or sticking to a specific schedule. Walks, feeding, and outdoor time are all built into the day, and evenings are calm with the whole family around. Because this is already how our home operates, adding another dog feels very natural and not like a disruption to our routine. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. Since I work from home, they get plenty of attention throughout the day and are rarely left alone. Dogs are free to relax inside, spend time with us, or play in our fully fenced yard. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any specific instructions you provide.
