Doggy Day Care in Independence

“Jessica was tremendous! Came to our RV site on Saturday morning to meet and greet Bogey. We instantly knew he would be in good hands. We dropped Bogey off at her home in the morning and she was all ready for him. There were three other dogs in the house and, with a series of gates, had all the other dogs separated until they would have time to get acquainted with each other. Jessica has a nice little back yard for the dogs to play and Bogey was definitely warn out by the time we came to pick him up. I would highly recommend Jessica and if we are ever in this area again, we will reach out for another Bogey day stay.”

About: Recently retired teacher with a flexible schedule available to care for your furry family members while you travel or work. I’ve always been a huge animal lover and treat pets as family members. ( I also have a passion for pet photography.) I believe in regular communication throughout the day so that you can relax knowing your pets are safe and happy (I’ve been there and know how important that is!) ❤️ I’ve taken care of aging pets and know how to administer medication if needed. I’m retired and home every day so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! My husband is also home in the evenings to help if needed. While I’m new to Rover, I am not new to pet care! I will also provide you with an edited digital photo of your pet as a keepsake!❤️ I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of room to run and play. Your pet will never be left unattended and will be given lots of love and attention. We have a laid back approach in our home and your pup will not be crated unless you request it. 🐾

About: I am a registered nurse and have had pets for over 20 years. I have taken such good care of mine, that I would love to help you care for yours. You can be assured your pet is well taken care of because I require the same standards for my pets when we go out of town for trips and vacations. My son, Justin, will help me with taking care of your pets as well. We are a team to ensure all care is complete and prompt. I work from home so, if needed, can leave for a short time to help care for your pet. I also get off of work relatively early in the afternoon, so that allows me more availability to assist. I can come to your home several times a day and provide walking, feeding, playtime, medication administration, or whatever is needed to help you out.

“Kristin is great, she takes amazing care of my fur babies Dotty & Nubsy! Thanks again!”

I provide regular updates, photos, and am always just a message away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, snuggles, or specialized care, I tailor each visit to your pet’s individual needs.

About: Hi, I’m Annika, and I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life! Growing up in a home filled with love and pets—dogs, cats, rabbits and even a few chickens —I developed a deep bond with animals early on. I understand that pets are more than just companions; they’re family. Whether your furry friend needs long walks, cozy cuddles, or playtime that matches their energy, I’ll provide the same care and attention I’d give my own. Let me help make your pet feel loved and happy, even when you can’t be there! I work from home most days, except for Tuesdays, which gives me plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, your furry friend will have my full focus and care throughout the day. I have experience with both dogs and cats. My 10-year-old German Shepherd, gets along well with both, requiring only a short introduction. We go on walks every day, and she is fully updated on all vaccinations, ensuring a healthy environment for all pets in my care. She’s an indoor dog and sleeps in my room in her own bed, so your pet will have a comfortable and safe space too. I’ve also dog-sat for my coworker’s Husky and Lab, and it went wonderfully! I’ve also had the pleasure of watching my best friend’s hilarious pug, who became a great friend to my girl. Raised with cats, she frequently visits my parents’ home, which is full of cats, her two best friends Monty, a mixed terrier, and Bayou, a black lab, and even chickens. Your pet will feel right at home!

About: I have enjoyed watching fur babies for friends and family when they needed a little alone time! I once watched a hedgehog and my sister came home to 7 of them (she didn’t know she was pregnant) lol. I’m currently a stay at home Grammy, and I homeschool 2 of my grandkids. I have a golden doodle and shorkie inside my home! I recently moved to Ponchatoula, so I also have a lab and lab/Great Pyrenees mix that stay outside only because they use to be farm dogs and never really wanted to come inside. I plan to watch your dog inside my home and I have a doggie door that leads outside into a fenced in area to get some sun or shade!

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 7 years old. With a passion for pups and years of experience, my dog sitting skills are top-notch. From energetic playtime to cozy cuddles, I ensure each furry friend feels right at home. Safety and happiness are my priorities, whether it's administering medications or sticking to feeding schedules. Pet parents can rest easy knowing their beloved companions are in loving hands. I work part time in my work study program at my college so I have planet of time to care for your fur babies :) My apartment has a really large and gated park where people can bring their pets to run around and play safely and freely. I don’t have any loose wires or hazardous materials inside that can be a risk ! :)

“Jill was amazing! She was very kind, flexible and quick to respond. She texted me with updates and pictures of our puppy throughout the day which is so awesome. Would definitely recommend, I know our puppy can’t wait to go stay again!”

I have one pet in the home. Reesie Marie is a sweet girl and loves to play ball, but is also older so she just hangs out on her little doggy couch. She gets along with all pets. I also have room to separate pets in case they do not get along.

About: Hi I’m Mandi , I’ve basically raised & trained dogs of all breeds & sizes my entire life. I’ve never really met a stranger when it comes to meeting pups ! Definitely love dogs more then most humans ! Lol. I also specialize in puppy care / whelping as I’m a breeder myself as well. I’m currently working part time & pretty home based. So I have all the time to properly care for your pup ! Your pup would never be left home alone or unattended ! I have a small fenced in area around my home incase your fur baby likes to be outside. I do keep boardings indoors at all times & I always take dogs out one by one for walks very frequently. Your fur baby would never be left alone or unsupervised 🙂.

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats, the occasional hamster, growing up. I love animals! I’m from the south and have come across all types of puppies (including gator pups) I have no problems in gaining new friends :) I am currently free lancing in artistic endeavors and having a friendly pet would help with the time I’m at home needing a little company and a less… talkative version than human conversation! I love animals and have experience with all types! (I’m from Louisiana so I mean ALL types) including the senior doggies ;) I have a closed in front patio with a little nature-esque ground for quick potty breaks and just to sunbathe when the need arises. I take walks often and live in a neighbor hood away from a busy strip so I can keep pets safe and exercised!
