Doggy Day Care in Hot Springs

“Sherri was great at communicating and our dog loved playing her her dog! She was very welcoming and did a great job taking care of him. We were camping at the national park and this was a great way to do all the dog unfriendly activities while knowing that our dog was happy and in good hands for an afternoon. 😊”

“Oreo had a wonderful stay at Melana’s. She was also able to take Oreo in such a short notice (2 hours)! She sent a lot of updates even though Oreo’s stay wasn’t very long, which I appreciate very much! Oreo had a lot of fun playing with her dogs and running in a spacious backyard. Thank you Melana for taking care of Oreo!”

“Thank you so much for watching my boys, and for wearing them out! Auggie fell asleep pretty much the minute we left, and Blue was not far behind - see you next trip!”

About: I have owned and taken care of several dogs and cats since a very young age. I currently own 3 dogs and have owned several cats. I currently work from home on weekdays and I can usually fit a drop-in or walk visit around 9am and again after 4pm and later. Weekends are more flexible. I may be at church on most Sundays for 2 hours from 1045 -1245. I will come to your home and follow any special instructions you have to take care of your pet for you. I love animals and I will love your pet as I love my own.

About: I recently got a new job that allows me to work remotely most of the time. My dog has loved the change, but needs some company from time to time. I live in an apartment with a 2 acre dog park a half mile away. My dog and I usually go to the park twice a day when I work from home (weather permitting) with several more walks a day. There is also a walking trail around a couple of ponds with plenty of squirrels for your dog to say hi to. We always had pets (cats and dogs) growing up in a small Texas town. As a kid, I also did drop in visits for some of my neighbors when they went out of town. After I got my dog, I would dog sit for some of my friends. Now that I work from home almost every day, I'd like to keep having extra dogs around that Zeus can play with while I'm working. I have a 35 pound Jack Russell mix named Zeus. He's friendly to everyone, both people and animals. He gives dogs their space and is patient with enthusiastic puppies. He is a chill apartment dog that sleeps as much as a cat. He doesn't have a set schedule so he'll be flexible if your dog needs certain walk or feeding times. I have a job that lets me work from home so I'm able to be flexible with my schedule. Zeus and I usually go to the dog park twice a day and take several walks throughout the day. I live in an apartment with my Jack Russell mix Zeus. He's a great co-host and is patient with overly energetic puppies and gives dogs their space when they want it (he sleeps like a cat). My apartment complex has a dog park that's a 10 minute walk away and it has a walking path around a couple of ponds. The neighborhood is quiet (except for Lovers Ln) and is great for wandering around. There's full time access to water and I allow animals on the furniture. I can crate your dog if needed.

“Darlene took excellent care of our dog while we were in town for the day visiting Hot Springs National Park. She sent me pictures of him throughout the day which was super nice. Sparky was very happy when we picked him up and I could tell he had felt at home. We highly recommend Darlene as you can tell she loves dogs. Big plus: Darlene has a super sweet dog named Bailey :)”

“Extremely happy! Brittney took great care of my boy while I was out for the day. She sent me super cute pictures of him and I could tell he was having a blast. He became fast friends with her fur baby and when it was time to leave, he didn't want to stop playing. Will definitely be leaving my boy here again! :D”

“I had one happy and tired dog after a day with Kalina. She sent multiple picture updates and videos throughout the day. Her little kiddos were precious and played with our dog all day. If we are ever back in the area, we would absolutely chose her to watch our guy again! Thanks again ?”

About: Hi! I’m Loretta — lifelong dog lover, proud rescue pup mom, and your pet’s new favorite human. 🐶💛 My kids and I share our home with our sweet rescue, Lucy, who’s friendly, playful, and always up for a game of zoomies or a neighborhood stroll. I know how busy life gets — work, school, travel — and I’m here to make sure your furry family member gets the care, love, and attention they deserve while you’re away. Services I offer: 🐕 Drop-in visits for potty breaks, playtime, and snuggles 🚶 Long or short walks to match your dog’s energy level 🏡 Dog sitting with plenty of love and belly rubs 🎾 Playdates with Lucy for social, dog-friendly pups Whether you have an energetic pup who needs a good romp or a senior dog who just wants gentle company, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Expect lots of tail wags, happy photos, and total peace of mind. 📩 Let’s set up a meet-and-greet — your pup will thank you! 🐾 work night shift three nights a week, which means I’m available most days for drop-in visits, walks, or midday playtime. I can also care for your pup while you’re away at work, making sure they get the exercise, company, and love they need. At home, I have a fenced backyard with plenty of space to run, plus a small doggie pool for cooling off on hot days. Inside, my pet-friendly setup is perfect for lounging on the couch or gazing out the window to “monitor” the neighborhood. On the evenings I’m not working, I’m available for evening visits and will give your furry friends the best care and attention possible. I love being outdoors — we can stay active with trips to the park, long walks, or a good game of fetch in the yard. While my own dog, Lucy, is very social and loves to play, I also happily accommodate dogs who are shy or prefer quiet one-on-one time. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for safe roaming and play. In our home, we believe our space is our pup’s space — they’re welcome to snuggle where we snuggle. We can enjoy walks around the neighborhood, play ball in the yard, take trips to the park, or simply relax together. My dog, Lucy, is friendly and sociable, and can be a wonderful playmate for dogs who enjoy socializing. If your pup prefers alone time, I can easily accommodate that as well. All dogs are welcome to sleep wherever they’re most comfortable — whether that’s curled up with the family, on their own bed, or in a kennel. Your dog’s comfort and safety always come first.

“Did an awesome job !”
