Doggy Day Care in Ila

About: I have years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My background includes EDD K9 handling, obedience training, working bird hunting dogs, and caring for high-energy working breeds that require structure and exercise. I live on 14.9 acres in Madison County, Georgia, providing dogs with a safe, spacious environment to play, explore, and relax. I understand canine behavior, body language, and the importance of maintaining routines that help dogs feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your dog needs active playtime, supervised socialization, or a calm place to stay, I provide dependable, attentive care as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time profession, not a side job. My daily routine is built around the dogs in my care, ensuring they receive attention, exercise, potty breaks, feeding, and supervision throughout the day. Living on 14.9 acres in Madison County, I provide a safe, spacious environment where dogs can enjoy structured outdoor time and plenty of individual attention. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a calm, relaxed atmosphere, I tailor their care to their specific needs. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their dogs are being cared for by someone whose primary focus is their safety, comfort, and happiness. Dogs enjoy a structured daily schedule that includes supervised outdoor exercise, potty breaks, feeding according to their owner’s instructions, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one interaction. Each dog has access to a clean, secure run for rest and quiet time, while also receiving multiple opportunities throughout the day for exercise and socialization when appropriate. Because we accept only a limited number of dogs, we can closely monitor behavior, appetite, activity levels, and overall well-being. This personalized approach helps reduce stress, creates a calmer environment, and allows us to provide the level of care and attention that dogs deserve while their families are away. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and structured home-away-from-home experience where every dog is treated like a valued guest rather than just another boarding reservation.

“Annette was great! Chevie, who’s normally wary of other dogs, immediately started playing with her dog and settled in well! I appreciated all the outdoor/dog park time Chevie got. She was tired and relaxed when we got home!”

“Couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of our sweet Natasha. She went out of her way to accommodate us and rearranged her schedule to make it work for us. We would be very confident having Emily look after our girl the next time we need someone.”

Steve K.

“Super great with communication, was able to take my dog on a play date and even met a dog of his own breed another English bulldog. Was very attentive and went above and beyond. Kept me updated on Romeo’s activities. Will book again!”

“Great guy!”

“Marlina was fantastic, was super sweet and accommodating for our shy puppy, especially with our dog’s needs for pee pads. She was very gentle and considerate in introducing her dogs to Luna one at a time so everyone could get acquainted smoothly and successfully! We loved the pictures taken throughout the day! Luna had a wonderful time during her play date with Marlina and her dogs!”

Yana C.

“Chayna was amazing!! I cannot rave enough about her communication, flexibility with my requests and scheduling, and care of my two pups. She went above and beyond to help me feel at ease with leaving my dogs with someone knew. I loved getting updates and photos and knowing my dogs were safe and cared for while I was gone. They were happy, tired babies when I got them home again. Highly recommend!!”

About: I have years of hands-on pet care experience, and I’ve had dogs in my home for most of my life. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable approach and genuine love for caring for pets of all ages. I’m comfortable with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I understand how to meet each stage’s needs—from basic training and routine structure to gentle care and patience with older pets. I’m committed to keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy, and I treat every animal like my own. Clear communication, dependability, and attention to detail are always my priorities. Pet care is a regular part of my life and something I prioritize every day. I schedule my time around feeding, play, and attention for pets, making sure they get consistent care and companionship. On a weekly basis, I maintain clean living spaces, rotate toys, and spend quality time with each pet to keep them happy and engaged.

I provide a safe, clean, and loving home environment for pets, with regular feeding, playtime, social interaction, and cozy spaces for rest and ultimate comfort.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and lifelong experience caring for them. I’ve been watching and caring for dogs since I was 10, and I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the same love and attention I’d give my own. I am a nurse but only work 3 days a week, and I’d love to help out on my days off! I have weekends off :) I provide safe and attentive care for walks and drop-in visits. I always follow your dog’s routine, ensure secure entry and exits, and keep them on a safe leash at all times. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy levels, and comfort, making sure they feel happy, calm, and well cared for while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and peace of mind are my top priorities

About: I’m a fun loving dog sitter. I love playing with dogs, walking with them, and giving them tummy rubs. Being lazy is another quality I’m good at when me and the dog(s) don’t have anything better to do. I really do love animals. Their like fluffy teddy bears. Dogs deserve all the love and attention in the world. Weather they act crazy or not If the dog misbehaved then I would lightly pop it on the nose and say no but if the dog was nice then I’d give it tummy rubs

About: Registered Veterinary Technician who works emergency medicine on the weekends looking for extra work through the week. I can’t stay at your house overnight, but your pet can come to mine. I can also do drop ins pretty regularly. I graduated college with a degree in Veterinary technology and passed my state boards. I work at an emergency clinic in Atlanta on the weekends and right now I’m free through the week. I can try my best to work out whatever you need help with. I’m skilled at giving medications and anything basic your pet may need in home, as well as lifesaving care due to any emergency. I can keep non child friendly cats in a different area, but dogs must be child friendly. I do have cats & ferrets, but they can be kept separately if your animals are not cat & small rodent friendly. I have 2 dogs as well. All of my animals are pet friendly with everything as many animals have come through my care fostering. I'm skilled in exotic pet care as well if necessary. I currently only work weekend overnights in the ER. So, I am home all week caring for my fur babies. As well as yours hopefully! I strive to care for anyone's else's pets exactly as I would my own. When they are with me, they are my babies too. I bring my ER compassion with me when I pet sit, in the ER the pets are without their owners & they are scared on top of being hurt. While my pet sits may not be hurt, I'm aware they could be nervous & unfamiliar. I try to treat them with the upmost compassion & kindness.

“Absolutely amazing! My dog is so clingy with me, but she was so excited to see Angela on the second day ?. My giant mastiff can be a handful, but Angela is a confident and knowledgeable 'dog person' so Penny's exuberance didn't phase her. I loved that Angela took Penny to a dog park each day too. I also REALLY appreciated the clear and consistent communication; Angela was quick to respond to any texts I sent and gave me updates (with the most adorable pics!) throughout the day. My dog was healthy, happy, and tired each time I picked her up from Angela-- who could ask for more?”

“I recently hired a Michaela to care for our family dog while we're away for the day. Her warm demeanor and caring attitude towards my pet made me feel at ease while I was away. I would use her services again in the future. My dog seemed happy and well-cared for during the time she spent with him. Overall, a great experience with a friendly and reliable dog sitter.”

About: Hello, My name is Emily. I have always had pets growing up and my love for them has grown more so. I own a 3 year old Pitbull that I absolutely adore. My experience to Rover is from having experience with dogs throughout my childhood, but also taking the time with my pitbull to be the best dog I know him to be. I currently work a full-time job.
