Doggy Day Care in Hartselle

“Meaghan and her family did such a great job with Kylo! He had the best day playing with the kids and their pets. It was so good to know he was having a blast and being taken care of while we were gone for a long day at the ball field!”

“I absolutely love how Autumn cares for our fur babies. She balances individual attention and dog play and freedom with plenty of dog to dog socializing. She puts e-collars on all her fur intakes for their safety even though her home is very well secured. I love the extra effort in safety and care she places in her care for doggy day care just to cover those “just in case” scenarios. I mean, if you are looking for a pet sitter with love, respect, understanding, and safety for your fur baby. If you want your dog to get plenty of socialization with other friendly fur babies that is also closely monitored yet fun,You are going to love Autumn and her family. Willow knows and gets so excited right as she realizes we are turning in the neighborhood. Trust me, you fur baby with love Autumn and so will you.”

“Juyne was so kind and loving to my puppy. It was my first time trying someone watching my puppy in their home so I was nervous. They treated her like she was their own puppy and loved on her all day. I appreciated all the photos Juyne sent me through the day so I could see how much fun they were having.”

“Kira was amazing!!! She took wonderful pictures of my babies and they looked like they had a blast. I will definitely bring them back, and I recommend her to anyone looking to board their doggies.”

About: I love others pets like I love my own. I’ve had my own dog since I was 17 and took care of her in any way needed. I’m knowledgeable on a lot of things dealing with dogs as well as cats. I would sit with my friends cat when she would be gone to make sure she didn’t get into anything she wasn’t supposed to. I trained both of my dogs myself to sit, shake, and listen to basic commands. I currently am not employed. So I have all the time to take care of your pets throughout the week (Monday-Friday). Early mornings for when you need to drop off before work/ school and late evenings to give you some time to get home and ready for your fur baby! I have a fenced in back yard where my dog stays. So if you would like your dog to have some doggie playtime she would enjoy that! If not that is completely fine and if you have a crate that you would like your pet to stay in I will use that! Whatever works for you!

“Shume was so amazing. She is a natural. You can tell she has a natural love for animals. We will definitely be calling her again to watch our Floki.”

“First time using Colleen for daycare, she did a wonderful job with our little picky guy. Teddy had a great time playing and snuggling each day. Communication each day went smoothly. Colleen made drop off and pickup a breeze. We will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was around 7 years old, I grew up riding horses and being on the farm almost every day! I’ve had my own dogs for about 12 years now. I used to watch a few family’s farm animals/ dogs back in high school and right after high school but then I got a plant job so I wasn’t able to take care of People’s animals working 12 hour shift shifts . But now since I am building my own boarding/daycare facility at home, I am able to start watching animas again! Every animal has a different personality and I just love meeting new fur babies to take care of! I’m currently not not working so I am very flexible and available. I am currently in the process of building my own kennels for boarding/ daycare and bathing at home ! I have 3 dogs of my own and my husband has one ! They are all inside dogs but they love to be outside playing or going for a walk or even swimming in the summer !

“Alex was so great! Will use her again when I come back to Alabama!”

About: My Boarding Policies: I want every dog to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they’re with me, so these guidelines help keep things running smoothly for everyone. 💬 Meet & Greet I always do a quick meet & greet for new clients so I can get to know your pup’s personality and make sure we’re a great fit! I will need an emergency contact and vet reference. (Last minute bookings happen, I am willing to work around this for this purpose, just reach out to me) 💉 Health & Vaccinations For everyone’s safety, all dogs should be up to date on rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella. Please also make sure your pup is free of fleas/ticks and not showing signs of illness. ⏰ Drop-Off & Pick-Up I’m flexible, but I try to keep drop-offs and pick-ups within agreed time windows so the day stays smooth and predictable for the dogs. If you’re running late, no worries — just let me know! If at any point I can not get ahold of you, this will result in me reaching out to Rover Support or possibly Animal Control (depending on the situation) 🍽️ Food, Treats & Supplies Please bring enough food for the whole stay, plus any medication with simple instructions. If anything unexpected comes up, I’ll let you know right away. 🐾 Behavior & Comfort I welcome all sorts of personalities! I just ask that pups are: Friendly with people and other dogs Able to be crated or safely separated if needed Not showing aggression If your dog has any quirks (anxiety, chewing, reactivity, etc.), please share — it helps me give them the best care. 🩺 Safety First If a true emergency happens, I’ll contact you immediately and may take your dog to the vet if needed. Owners are responsible for any vet costs. 📸 Updates I love sending photos! Expect at least one update per day — or more if you’d like. Just tell me your preference. 📅 Cancellations & Holidays I follow Rover’s cancellation policy and keep things fair, but holiday bookings may fill up fast, so early scheduling helps! I loved animals for as long as I can remember, and pets have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and ages — from bouncy puppies and curious kittens to senior pets who just need a little extra love and patience. When your pet is with me, I’ll treat them like family. I enjoy long walks, playtime in the yard, and plenty of snuggles on the couch. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether they’re energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’ll make sure they get the love and attention they deserve. I provide full-time dog care, including doggy daycare, boarding, drop-ins, and walks. When doing Drop ins or walks, if you are outside of a 5 mile radius, a small fee will have to be added for the distance traveled. Each day starts with morning walks and potty breaks, followed by supervised playtime and socialization. Midday is quiet time for rest and meals, with afternoon walks, and play. Evenings include dinner, potty breaks, and calm activities to help dogs wind down. Overnight, I monitor boarding dogs to ensure they’re safe and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and loving environment where your furry friend can feel at home. All interactions are supervised, and I make sure playtime is safe and stress-free. I follow any specific instructions you provide for feeding, medications, or routines to ensure your pet’s well-being. I believe trust is earned, which is why I maintain open communication with owners throughout their pet’s stay or visit. You’ll receive updates, photos, and messages so you can see how your pet is doing in real-time. My home is pet-friendly, calm, and structured, offering plenty of space for exercise, rest, and fun. I strive to create a positive experience that leaves your pet happy, healthy, and eager to come back.

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of pets for about 5 years now. From dogs to cats and hamsters. I’ve always been the designated pet sitter for my neighbors and family! I am currently a stay at home mom so I am available any days of the week, and can work around any time you prefer! Pets will all have a clean and calm environment as I have no pets at my house and just one baby. They will take frequent potty breaks and walks. Food and water will always be out and available to them. I will provide updates and pictures throughout the day!

About: Hi 👋 I’m Victoria! I graduated with a degree in Biochemistry with a concentration in pre-veterinary medicine from Mississippi State University in 2019. Then was admitted to Ross University for their veterinary medicine program. I love animals but decided I’d rather own the vet clinic than be the veterinarian so I worked as a vet tech while getting my MBA. I finished my masters in December of 2022 and have plans to start my own animal hospital. I have volunteered with several animal shelters and wildlife rehab centers since 2016. I worked at Animal Tracks Veterinary Hospital from June 2018 until August 2019. I have been trained in dog CPR at Mississippi State University’s school of veterinary medicine. I can do grooming (dogs and cats), with nail trim and ear cleaning for an extra $20 fee. I am able to medicate (oral, injections, creams, etc...). I have closely worked with with diabetic cats, cats with strokes (wobbly cat syndrome), post surgery care, and canine seizures. I can go on long runs, take them to the dog park, or just spend some time cuddling your furry family member. I will send daily pictures or videos of your pet while you’re away as well! I have experience working with domestic animals (large, small, and farm) as well as bobcats, bunnies, squirrels, birds, skunks, opossums, and coyotes. I am currently working on obtaining my wildlife rehabilitator certification. I’d love the chance to come meet your baby! I am currently working full-time for a tech company and am remote. If your fur babies need out in the middle of the day I can accommodate this as ling as I can use the WIFI. I have a cat, and 2 Australian Cattle Dogs who are very friendly. They are welcome to stay with me if they are potty trained and get along well with others.

About: What truly sets me apart is my commitment to communication. I provide regular updates, photos, and detailed notes after each visit or walk, so you always feel connected to your pet. My background also includes volunteer work at a local animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience handling dogs with special needs and anxiety. You can count on me to treat your pet and home with the same respect and care I’d expect for my own. Reliability, compassion, and peace of mind—that’s what I bring to every visit. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize creating a consistent and safe environment for every pet in my care, whether that means early morning walks, timely feedings, or engaging play sessions throughout the day. I incorporate time each day to monitor health, behavior, and comfort, ensuring pets feel secure and loved while their owners are away. On a weekly basis, I plan for special outings, grooming (if needed), and ongoing communication with pet owners to provide updates and maintain trust. Caring for animals is more than a job—it’s a responsibility I take seriously, and I structure my schedule to reflect that commitment. I have a fenced in privacy fence back yard! As well as a temperature controlled garage if needed to separate! I have an extra crate if needed as well!

“Kristen and her family were wonderful. Oscar,our dog, has only spend 1 other day away from us, so Kristen suggested a meet and greet prior. Oscar met her family, including her dogs, and we got to see how Oscar would respond. It went well. We schedule a time for Oscar to spend 5-6 hours without us. From the time we dropped him off until we picked him up, Kristen kept us informed and even sent photos of Oscar playing in the yard. He was excited to see us when we picked him up, but didn’t seem to be in a hurry to get into the truck to leave. Kristen will be our go-to sitter from now on.”

“Left my dog with him for daycare for two days and felt very comfortable doing so. He gave me updates throughout the day and sent plenty of pictures on the first day. He also worked with my crazy work schedule. He seems very knowledgeable about dogs and very loving of the dogs he watches. I will definitely be using him again.”

About: Hi! ❤️ My name is Natalie Ikner. I am 25 years old and am a full time college student with all of my work online & a stay at home mother. I am pretty much always at home so your pups would have someone around 24/7 during their visits! Since I am home full time I’ve decided to start offering my services on Rover to help my fiancé with the bills. Plus, I LOVE animals of all kinds!! So why not? Your pup will have ample play & potty time on account to me being here all hours of the day during their stay. I also offer drop ins. I’m excited to meet your pups!!! ❤️ My schedule is very open so I am always home. I do all of my college work online so I’m open schedule most of the time! I do not keep my dog in a crate, but I do hourly potty breaks (or more if needed for that specific animal) and I do allow my dog on my bed occasionally.

About: I have had dogs since I was born. I have grown up around all animals. I have sat for friends and families as well as bathed, trained, and of course love all the snuggles!
