Doggy Day Care in Hickory Tavern

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience caring for all kinds of animals — from goats and pigs to dogs and cats! I’ve been around animals since I was a kid, so I understand their different personalities and needs. I’m patient, gentle, and always make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and pets that need a little extra attention or care. Whether it’s sticking to a routine, giving medication, or helping with basic training, I make sure your pet gets the same love and consistency they’re used to at home. I’m currently a stay at home mom to a 4 year old so I am available at any time of the day and any day or the week! When caring for pets, my main focus is making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable — whether they’re in my home or yours. I always take time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so I can keep things as familiar as possible. In your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions carefully — from feeding schedules to walks and playtime. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, along with updates and photos to keep you at ease. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with lots of love, snuggles, and supervision. I treat every animal like part of the family and make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for at all times.

About: I have experience with taking care of all dogs, medical needs, young at hearts and old souls alike. I have one large love that was a rescue. I have been a foster for dogs for quite some time. Every dog that has entered my home has been loved and cared for as if they were my own pups. I currently work from home which allows me to have time to supervise and interact with your pet all day. I am able to let dogs out to play or use the bathroom at least every hour if needed. I have a 6ft fence that surrounds my backyard to ensure that your dog stays safe at my home. In my house, your dog will have the ability to roam freely. My dogs are allowed on the furniture, so if that is something you are okay with, your dog will be allowed too. I do have an extra large wire crate that I used with my dogs when they were young, so you will not need to provide a crate if your dog requires that. If your dog does not use a crate, that is fine too. Charlie is a 100lb mix that is very friendly. He will play with other dogs if that is what they want and he will also lay and be very relaxed.

“My pups had a great time at Rebecca’s. Very secure home and back yard. I felt very comfortable leaving my pups in her care and they came home exhausted. Her two dogs are great and everyone got along just fine. Will certainly be booking again!”

“Julia is amazing! Super flexible and communicative. Franklin was so excited to see her everyday, it’s so nice to know your dog is in good hands! I would recommend her to anyone I know!”

Allie S.

“Veronica and her husband did a great job taking care of Pickles. They were willing to do a meet and greet with me before I booked to make sure our pets would mesh. My dog is usually timid with new dogs, but that was not the case here. She fit right in immediately. They send me lots of pictures, keep me updated, and my dog comes home happy and exhausted!”

“Dorothy & Thomas took care of our 3 cavaliers and it went well. Our pups enjoyed their space outside with the large fenced in backyard and also enjoyed hanging out with their dog Pepper. Pepper was friendly and sweet with our little ones. Thank you!”

“Cristina is very sweet and you can tell she really loves dogs. We had a small language barrier but we were so glad to find her on short notice! Thank you for taking great care of our babies Cristina!”

About: I am ready to provide your dog with the love, care, and attention they deserve. I am a low volume sitter usually only caring for one family at a time in my home. I have a 2 yr old dachshund who loves to play. I have a big fenced in back yard. I am a stay at home mom to two kids who are 6 and 11 so your dog must be good with kids. Caring for our furry guests is something the whole family takes part in. Rest assured that I offer a secure and cozy setting for your dog. While in my care, I will do my best to replicate what your dog is used to at home but I do not allow dogs to sleep in my bed as I wouldn’t be able to sleep myself.

About: I have 10+ years of taking care of pets. I have experience with puppies and all their playfulness through seniors that need extra attention and medications. Your fur babies and mine are my passion! I have a very flexible schedule and have plenty of time to play and care for your pets during the day, evenings or overnight stays. I have a fenced back yard and two friendly pups that would love to play with yours. I can also crate if needed. Giving medications is also an expertise of mine as I had a 14 yr old fur baby that suffered from heart disease and needed lots of daily medicine.

“Such a wonderful experience. Nikki is so knowledgeable and welcoming. Willow was well cared for and seems to have had a great time! Highly recommend :)”

About: I’m a nursing student with a flexible schedule who loves dogs and making some extra tuition money! My husband works from home so your pet will have someone around most of the time. I would love to help you with your sitting needs anyway that I can! I am familiar with the basics of training, bathing, feeding, walking, etc… I’ve trained and raised 4 beautiful labs so far. I look forward to meeting you soon!😊 My schedule is usually pretty flexible but every week does look different for me. I’m happy to work around your needs and make time in my schedule for you. I love to send pictures of the pets when I arrive at the location. It ensures to you that I have arrived and am doing what you have requested! I’m open to texting while I work so if you need anything additional, like a package brought inside or I have a quick question, that will help to make everything run smoothly.

“Ashtan was so amazing from beginning to end. She kept me updated about my dog and sent pictures over to me. She is such a sweet and loving person. I was so happy that I chose her to dogsit our fur baby. We will definitely book again with her!! Thank you ❤️❤️”

About: I will love your pets as if they are my own. I will care, feed, protect and nurture them while you are unavailable. I have a big fenced house, so they will have lots of room to play and relax. For my cat owners, I own a very docile, loving, calm kitty of my own and he loves new friends. We will be in constant communication because I know being away from our furry kids is a little nerve wrecking. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions or anything I haven't covered. I will fulfill requests or any special demands. Your pet will be in good hands for the time being. If frequent visits or walking is what you need, I am available for that too. I know some great doggy parks where they'll have lots of fun. I am currently not working so they will have my undivided attention and we will get them exercised throughout the day because just like us, movement is essential.
