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.

“Arianna was amazing with our puppy! She was super sweet & provided updates throughout the day. She was a huge lifesaver for us! We highly recommend her. Thank you again for everything!”

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.

“A pleasure to meet Jared, our pups had a wonderful time. They came home happy and tired and playful. Jared sent us pictures and lots of updates. Will certainly book again!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and absolutely adore them! I also worked for two years at a professional dog hotel, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages and temperaments. I understand how to meet their emotional and physical needs, especially for shy, senior, or high-energy pups. I always provide personalized, loving care and treat every dog as if they were my own family. Whether your pup loves cuddles, playtime, or quiet naps, I adapt to their personality to make them feel safe, loved and at home. I'm available every day for both walks and in-home care. For walks, I can accommodate flexible times up until 8pm. For pet sitting at my home, I'm home full-time - so your pet will never be alone. Flexibility is one of my strengths, and I'll do my best to adapt to your schedule and your pet's routine. I live in a spacious home with a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can run, relax and enjoy fresh air safely. Your pup will be part of a loving, family-like environment. We have two sweet and well-socialized dogs who love meeting new furry friends, and even my 9-year-old son is gentle and kind with animals. I treat every dog like part of the pack - with love, patience, and personalized care. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, or calm company, I make sure they fell safe and right at home.

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.

“I was nervous to leave my puppy with a sitter for the first time but Aneisy and her family were great! My pup came home happy and clearly well taken care of. And Aneisy made me feel at ease and communicated very well. I will happily book again in the near future.”

About: I am ready to provide your dog with the love, care, and attention they deserve. I am a low volume sitter usuallg 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 5 and 10 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 and in return, I expect them to be well-behaved guests.

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.

“Such a wonderful caregiver! Send s multiple photos and videos. Has a spectacular set up in the backyard for playtime. Asks appropriate questions that shows she cares about your pets needs and safety. Highly recommended!”
