Doggy Day Care in Hot Springs

“Jess was so great with our dogs over thanksgiving. She sent so many pictures and stories, making us feel much better about the long trip away from them. We could tell that our dogs felt at home with her family!”

“I will definitely be bring Yuki back!!! 10/10 recommend. This was my first time doing a doggy daycare and I was very nervous about leaving him all day. However, Stefani was really good at communicating with me. She sent messages and pictures all day. He had so much fun that he didn’t cry when I picked him up as he usually does when I arrive home. Once home he crashed and slept really good. Stefani’s backyard and the great company he had was perfect for him to play and run. Thank you for making this such a great experience for us. Don’t hesitate and book with her!”

“Brody gives my pups tons of attention and play. He’s always so friendly and easy to reach and communicate with. Penguin and Ducky had a great time at his place as usual!”

“Rosaria was amazing! She was willing to meet me to pick up my dog so I didn't have to drive farther and be late to my conference. She was very friendly and gave us lots of goodies to hit the road with. She was sweet to my dog and took great care of her. I hope to see her again!”

“Jose and Maria took awesome care of our Cockapoo. I received photos and videos of our pet throughout the day. They were active with Marley including walks and time outside. I would definitely look to Jose and Maria to care for Marley again.”

“Samantha and her daughter were EXCELLENT! We are from out of town, and were visiting relatives in Greeneville. We had to find a sitter for 2 days (and a little last minute) but fortunately Samantha was happy to take on our diabetic dog, Abby. We were so thankful to be able to find a sitter who is also adept at medication administration. Samantha is so good with animals! She was very careful to introduce our little dog to her own fur babies to eliminate any stress. It was nice to receive the many photo updates that Samantha sent during the day. When we picked her up, Abby looked and acted very happy, calm and content. We were able to relax and have a wonderful time with our relatives knowing Abby was in such wonderful hands. I would not hesitate to have Samantha care for Abby the next time we are in Greeneville. Thank you Samantha!”

“Jennifer was such a HUGE part of the success of our last minute spring break trip. We wanted to bring our dog along, but he wasn’t ready for the big crowds. It was so nice that she was right off the strip, so we were able to park, walk him to Jennifer, walk to all the attractions, and pick him up when we were done for the day. Thank you Jennifer! We will be back!”

“Bradly was very accommodating with the quick booking. Hamish was happy when we arrived. Very thankful for the excellent care.”

Melissa T.

“Miranda was very kind and understanding about my rescue dog Sable having separation anxiety. Sable loved the yard and the opportunity to meet another dog friend. She was clearly comfortable with Miranda and calm during her daytime stay. We will definitely book her again in the future!”

Holly R.

“Laird came through for us to care for Nazca during an unexpected family emergency. Nazca loves her day's at Laird's and we'll be booking again soon!”

“Molly was wonderful to meet and took great care of our GSP. We can recommend her without hesitation. Her pup and ours played so well together. Hope to use Molly’s pet services when we return to Asheville.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 16. I also grew up with 4 medium sized dogs at a time. I have always had a love for animals and love to meet other fur babies. I have been able to follow feeding instructions and if needed have followed giving medications. Just a heads up I will not be accepting bookings from June on until I am sure where I will be after college. I’m currently a senior in college with only 2 classes and 2 labs, so I will have a lot of time to spend with your pups! I have a small, fenced yard and I have one yellow lab at home that is very dog friendly. I will follow up with you anytime I arrive at your house and will provide a recap of my time with your animal. I will follow all instructions given to me ahead of time to ensure you receive the best care for your furry friend. I will treat them as if they were my own and spend so much time ensuring they enjoy there time with me!

“Thank you again Ms Michelle!!!! Looks like he had a great time with you and cant wait for future visits to come with someone he now knows and trusts!”

About: I can board small dogs at our house, and I can sit large and small dogs and horses, chickens and just about any other animals at your house. (We just built a new house with hardwood floors and no fenced yard!) I have loved and trained dogs, cats, and horses since I was a young child. I love and respect all animals, and I get along with most of them right from the get-go. I am retired, healthy, and like to get out and about. I do expect pets to behave, and have the utmost respect for the boundaries you have set for your pet. Some years back, I trained our brown mutt family pet to play the role of Sandy in the HS performance of Annie. She brought the house down at curtain bow! I believe in training animals by showing them respect and being very clear about what it is I am asking of them. So let's go! I want to meet your dog!

“Brittany was so kind and responsive! Our dog really seemed to enjoy her time and came home absolutely exhausted. A perfect doggy day care day!”

About: My husband and I work from home full time currently, are flexible, we adore dogs, and have 15 acres and would love to hang with your pup(s)! We walk several times a day, enjoy staying active hiking and outdoors, and staying at home. We have had dogs most of our lives. My husband has had dogs when he was growing up. I had a dog when I was growing up and we always take care of Rover and family's dogs when folks are out of town. We have a single-story home on 15 acres close to many trails. We do not have any dogs/cats of our own. We can pickup/dropoff pets.

About: Hi! We’re an animal-loving family with room to roam and a whole lot of heart. We share our home with three wonderful dogs (a Pointer, a German Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix, and an Australian Shepherd) all 7 years and older, plus our cat, Potato. We’re very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and species under one roof. Our dogs are mature, well-socialized, and help create a calm, balanced pack environment. We live on 2 acres with a securely fenced quarter-acre for safe, supervised outdoor play. There’s plenty of space for sniffing, structured exercise, and relaxing in the fresh air. My wife and I are almost always home, so your pet will receive consistent supervision, attention, and affection. We also have a sweet baby, Cooper, who is growing up learning to gently and respectfully love animals. Our home is calm, structured, and family-oriented. In addition to boarding, we also offer drop-in visits for pets who are happiest staying in their own home. Whether your pet needs potty breaks, feeding, walks, medication, or just some companionship and playtime, we’re happy to help. I’m currently a stay at home parent so my schedule is wide open for both days and nights to take on boarding or do visits to other homes. My home has a large fenced area where our three dogs can roam and exercise. I am very reliable and respectful when it comes to entering others’ homes while taking care of their pets.

About: I have more than 10 years of experience working with dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments. I have interned under licensed veterinarians, volunteered with countless animal rescue groups, was employed as a shelter manager for a no-kill animal shelter, and have worked at two different doggy daycare centers. I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer and have completely fallen in love with the problem-solving aspects of dog training and how it allows me to help owners and their pets live happier, less frustrating, lives together! I do have a full time job and an adolescent Border Collie, but am available for overnight stays in your home or in mine and will give all my extra time and attention to your pup during my stay! My goal is for your dog to hardly miss you while you are gone and to keep their routine as close to normal as possible during your absence. I do currently have my own dog, Dash, who sometimes accompanied me on my overnight stays if your dog wants a playmate! I have been fostering dogs through local rescue groups and animal shelters for several years and have become accustomed to many different kinds of dogs in that time. Why I love dog sitting... I've loved dogs all my life! I got my first dog when I was 6, a black lab named Holly, and a Bichon Frise, Dixie, the dog who was considered by every member of my family to really be "mine" when I was 9. The years when I was in college and away from my dogs was hard and as soon as I moved out on my own, but couldn't yet afford my own dog, I started pet-sitting and dog walking for friends and neighbors. Since then, I have longed to have a dog in my house at all times, but wasn’t immediately financially ready for my own forever dog. So I have been volunteering at a couple of local animal shelters as a Foster Mom for dogs in need of a temporary home, and a little extra TLC, before they are adopted into their forever homes! As a professional dog trainer, I get to make my own schedule, which provides immense flexibility for walking dogs and doing drop in visits for pet care!! I have a fenced in yard and a dog who loves to play! Dash, our Border Collie, often comes with me to overnight stays. When I come to your house to visit your pets, I’m always sure to leave the key where I found it and be sure the house is secured before I leave.

“Alexis is great- welcoming, and friendly. Upon meeting her you can immediately tell she enjoys living on her small farm and taking care of animals. We felt very comfortable with our dog hanging out with her. Good communicator. Highly recommend.”

“It was good having someone so close to where I’m staying. I completely trusted her with my girl Zoe. I only had to leave Zoe for 3 to 4 hours when I was working and it completely slipped my mind at rest. I highly recommend Vicki and will absolutely use her when I can again”
