Doggy Day Care in Jenkinsville

“It was a hot day at the beach and I didn’t feel comfortable taking my dog with me. I needed someone to watch my dog for a few hours. Vas was wonderful! She was very friendly, responsive, and the communication with her couldn’t have been any easier. She kept me updated on my dog and sent me pictures. I spent my time at the beach with absolute peace of mind knowing that she is watching my dog closely and he is receiving the best service. My dog loved her and her daughter. Highly recommend Vas and I will definitely ask for her help the next time visiting the area.”

About: I’ve grown up with always having an animal of some sort. I currently have two dogs, four cats, baby ducks, baby chicks, chickens and ducks. I’ve had many dogs before and I know how to puppy train and play with dogs. I know how to take care and love on animals. I am on summer break so I will be home to watch the animals! I will be able to meet their needs anytime of the day! I have a fenced in backyard that my two dogs hangout in. It’s perfect because there is shelter for the dogs and we always have water available for them!

“I’m so happy I found someone that I trust leaving my dog Bonnie with. She gets excited to go to Gary’s house as soon as we pull up in the driveway. I feel relieved while at school all day knowing she’s in good hands. I am very thankful to have found Gary!”

About: I have had animals my whole life, never been able to live without at least 2. I love working with animals and their unique personalities. Every animal has their own quirks, and I would love to help care for your fur baby! I am available any days for boarding. Ruth and I go for a walk in the morning, in the evening, as well as playing out in the yard in between. We spend most of the night playing or lounging around the house. Ruth is typically crated at home, and I would prefer for your dog to have a crate as well so they have a space all to their own while staying with us. I have a large yard and a fence, and always monitor the dogs when outside. When interacting with any animal, I always make sure to be calm and gentle. I do my best to read animal body language and predict and prevent situations before they happen.

About: Following the passing of our beloved 13 year old furbaby Zoe shortly after Christmas in 2024, my husband Kenny and I decided to honor her memory by offering dog boarding services in our home. We wanted to create a space where other dogs would receive the same love and care that Zoe did while their owners are traveling or away. Now that we are both retired and home full-time, we are able to provide a calm, comfortable, and loving environment for dogs, free from the stress often found in traditional kennels. Our home offers a peaceful setting where dogs receive individualized attention and care - no concrete kennels or constant barking, just a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Both Kenny and I have had dogs throughout our lives, often with two or three dogs at a time, as we do now. We have always adopted rescue dogs and regularly foster, with the aim of giving dogs a better future and a loving home. We have never, ever regretted this commitment. Currently, our family includes two dogs and two cats, all of whom get along well, are low-key, and are deeply loved. We have ample space and resources to care for your dog (or dogs!) as well, and would be delighted to do so. Additionally, we are pleased and honored to offer very low cost long-term boarding for any military service members who are deploying and need assistance caring for their dogs while they are away. Please feel free to reach out for more information. My husband and I are retired and have ample time and resources to provide exceptional care for your dog, just as we do for our own pets, as well as those of our friends and family. Although we do not have a fenced yard, we walk your dogs leashed. We live out in the country on a lake, in the middle of nowhere on our own private 2 acres, on a dead end cul-de-sac with no traffic at all. We have a very large 20'x30' detached game room that is our hangout space, and would be where the dogs played indoors and could bed down. We have smoke detectors and a monitored alarm system that covers the house and game room. We have an excellent Vet available in Newberry, as well as access to a visiting emergency Vet service here at the house. There are no children or aggressive dogs here.

“Thank you for taking such good care of Zoe! I know she loved the extra love today!”

“Needing a pet sitter for my fur baby while I was visiting my daughter at the University of South Carolina- only for a few hours to watch the basketball game. I didn’t want to leave her in the hotel with all the doors slamming. I was so pleased and thankful to find Gina on Rover- who responded immediately and said that she could watch my Nola. Gina gave me lots of pictures during the visit and made me feel safe and comfortable! I knew she was in good hands! 🐾💕 Would definitely recommend and use again! 5 out of 5 🌟”

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was little. I’ve taken care of, feed played with and walked family and friends dogs and always made sure they were safe I’m currently not working so I have time to play and walk with your pups. I am able to board any day of the week at anytime! I do not have a fenced in yard but can assure you that your pups will be safe at all times. I have an older dog (8 yrs) who is the absolute best with other puppies!

“Margie took awesome care of our puppy, Jasper. He has separation anxiety, but he was happy to stay with Margie, and when we returned to pick him up, he was glad to see us but was running back to Margie as well, clearly content to be with her too. The backyard is great for small dogs to be safe and play, and the house is very clean. I am very glad to have found Margie since Jasper is not happy staying home alone. He is looking forward to his next stay!”

“They are absolutely great! We are doing the day care, and the first night Comet (my super SUPER high energy dog) came home tired! He had all day to play and run around. They have a great space for the dogs. Highly recommend! They sent me updates and kept me informed as well.”

Ashleigh W.

“Super sweet with my pup. You can tell he treats every dog like his own. I needed an emergency sitter and he had no problem taking my little girl last minute for a couple of hours. Highly recommend.”

About: My 1st Drop-In visit is free for multiple visits, just ask! While taking care of multiple pets in my household growing up and dogsitting for friends and family, I know the amount of care and love a dog needs to sustain a healthy and happy life. I like to stay physically active so walking, playing in the yard, or going to the park isn't a problem. I'm currently working part-time, so I do have time to spare for your pets! I am available mainly on the weekends, but during the week I am usually free for pet care/drop off/pick up. I have a fenced yard and a walking trail in my neighborhood for anytime the pups need to go out. I can keep your dog crated or let them roam free around the majority of the house if I am not home. I am available to feed and water your pets in the morning, afternoon, and evening if need be.
