Doggy Day Care Lake Highlands

About: Lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, and more—I treat every pet like family. I have a small dog of my own (Brio, 11 years!) and understand how important it is to trust who’s caring for your furry companion. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and value timely communication, providing high quality care and your trust in me. Some of my offerings include at least 3 walks and check-ins daily, (depending on the need) and daily boarding and doggy day, in a safe,clean, pet-friendly home. I also like to keep the pups clean after every walk by wiping them down fully, including their paws, with fragrance free pet wipes. I generally follow a consistent schedule where I keep your furry babies well-fed, active throughout the day via walks or indoor/outdoor play time and comfortable. While I stick to a consistent schedule, I'm happy to accomodate to any special care or routine needs. Feel free to reach out anytime with questions or to see if I'm a good fit for your pet—I’d love to meet them! I offer daily boarding and doggy day-care in a safe, clean, pet friendly home and multiple walks/ check-ins a day as needed. I typically follow a consistent schedule providing meals 3x a day, or as needed, followed by a walk and lots of play time throughout the day. I also like to keep your pups clean throughout the day by wiping them down fully, including their paws, after every walk. While I stick to a consistent schedule, I'm happy to accomodate to any special care or routine needs. My dog, Brio, is friendly with other dogs and can keep your furry baby some company. My home is fully equipped with beds, a crate, food bowls, toys, and a playpen if needed. Pets are welcome on the couch, and we love giving plenty of cuddles and playtime to keep them happy and comfortable.

“Was able to book last minute on Christmas Day. Gus had a blast and he came home happy and TIRED! Really appreciated all the pics and updates.”

About: Hello! My name is Erik and through growing up with cats and raising a rambunctious 6-year-old Golden Retriever, I'm the perfect active adult to take care of your animal friends. I work from home, giving me plenty of time for ball throws, tug of war, and enough snuggles and head scratches that your pet may never want to leave. I work from home full-time and take plenty of breaks throughout the day for walks, ball throws, and bathroom breaks! Because I already have a dog myself, regular breaks are already baked into my schedule. I have a fenced in yard and am within walking distance from several large grassy areas. Furthermore, working from home full-time allows me time to be attentive to your pet's needs!

About: I’ve been caring for pets my whole life. I had my first dog for 19 years, and I currently have a Schipperke. I’ve also taken care of cats before, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats. I train my own dogs, and I give every pet the love, attention, and care they need. I treat them like my own. I'm currently working from home part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to give your pups the attention they deserve. I'm available for drop-ins and walks any day of the week, whether it's mornings, afternoons, or evenings — just let me know what works best for you and your furry friends! I live in a safe, pet-friendly apartment with my one friendly dog. He gets along well with other dogs, though he can be a bit protective around new people. I always supervise playtime closely and can crate your pup if needed. Your dog will get plenty of attention, walks, and love while staying with me.

“Shuai is absolutely amazing! His care for my fur baby gives me the time to focus on my in office days. Leaving her with anyone in general is always hard for me, but he makes it easy and anxiety free- knowing she’s in protective hands. He’s beyond responsive and reliable. Highly recommend.”

“Emerald was great with Otto! She was able to help me out last minute when my other dog care fell through, and was very communicative and accommodating. She let me come over early with Otto and meet her sweet dogs and kiddo to make sure everyone got along ☺️ Otto came home happy—he was in good hands!”

About: I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs/cats and being outdoors. I’m excited to build relationships with both pets and owners. I’m reliable, attentive, and eager to become a trusted part of your pet family. The day is thoughtfully balanced with exercise, play, enrichment, and downtime, ensuring your dog feels happy, secure, and well cared for. And, of course, they'll receive plenty of affection, belly rubs, and kisses along the way. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout their stay. My home features a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely explore and play. For dogs who enjoy the water, and with your permission, I also offer supervised swim time in my pool. I treat every dog like a member of my own family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Your pup will enjoy daily walks, playtime, and enriching activities that provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where your dog feels secure, has fun, and receives the same level of care, attention, and affection they would at home.

About: I have been around dogs of all sizes and ages since I was 9 years old. I am comfortable with all animals and love to run around and play with them, as much as cuddling with them. No matter how young or old, or energetic or tame, I promise to care for your animal as if they were my own. I work full time remotely from home and am able to provide all the love, attention, walks, and potty breaks needed for your fur baby! I have a fenced patio for them to get some fresh air and watch all the squirrel, birds, and people through out the day as well! I let all the pets roam freely in the house when I am home and only have then kenneled when I am gone which is about 2 hours as most when I have practice I have to go coach! We have a fenced in balcony as well as a fenced in yard for animals to play in. There is also a great trail system for good walks.

“Jane is the sweetest and most attentive sitter! I feel so comfortable dropping our puppy off with her! My puppy is always SO excited when we pull up to her house which makes me happy.”

About: I take care of my friends dogs all the time! She had two medium size dog and one small Yorkie. I also have my own baby who is a small medium size dog. I've also recently pet sat for a 1 year old Doodle. I work from home so I'll be at the house all day. I take dogs out one at a time to go potty outside. We have multiple lawns that your baby can sniff I make sure the dogs go outside at least 4-5 times a day in the morning, afternoon, evening, and one more outside time before bed. I also do one long walk in the evenings when it's cooler outside.

“Eva and her family are the best, they send pictures and updates throughout the day. We have use them for both dog sitting and for boarding and loved both experiences. If they’re available I want to choose Eva first every time!”

“From our meet-and-greet to the first actual stay, my dog *loved* being at Jason's! He and his wife are kind, love dogs, have a great house setup for doggy day care. My dog can be anxious in new settings, especially if I leave him, but he did great! As Jason said, "couldn't have gone better." I am SO grateful to have found him and will definitely be using their services a lot in the future. I'd give them 10 stars if I could ;)”

“10/10 recommend Kim. Book her now! She updated me frequently throughout the day and sent me pictures of my dog Brownie. My dog has a medical condition that makes him susceptible to infections and she took extra precautions of wiping his paws off after being outside. Brownie had a fun day with Kim and we will be booking with her again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of him 💚”

“Shalini and Jeremiah have been so wonderful to my pup. Clover, as expected, was a little nervous at first during our meet and greet being in a new place. Shalini and Jeremiah were flexible with timing and let clover ease into full day care days. Clover is now having the best time with them, as proven in the pictures and videos I get throughout the day😊 Thank you for treating Clover so well!”

About: Dexter is my 1st true pet. We've been together for 4 years. He's my 1st and only experience with having a pet, but he has shown me why people react to and about their dogs the way they do. I work nights so I'm at home all day. My schedule is 7on7off. I'll mainly only watch dogs on my off weeks. That way I'm at home with your pet and my dog all day everyday. I'm only watching dogs in my home where my dog, Dexter, can be comfortable. I now the 1st night or 2 might be hard for them, but they will have free range of the house. If they want to hide in the closet for a day or 2 I'll allow it, lol. I tell everyone this is Dexter's house I just pay for it, lol. Your pet will become our family and I will love them just as I love my own.

About: Hey, I’m Alex! I’m a 35 year old guy living in The Village (just north of SMU). I love dogs and grew up with golden retrievers in my family since I was 6 years old. I want dogs of my own when I’m eventually married or in a committed relationship but have decided not to have them while single so I can enjoy a more flexible schedule to travel and live life without that full time responsibility. I really miss having dogs in my life tho, so I figured what better way to fill that void than to sign up as a caregiver to care for other peoples dogs when they need the help! I already take care of several of my friend’s dogs in the area when they need it so I’m very familiar with the typical needs of pet parents. I work 100% remote from my apartment and have a pretty flexible work schedule which makes it easier to do walks during the day or even take care of your dog in my apartment if necessary. The village is an excellent place for dogs. There are so many of them here and we have great walking trails, fields, and even a dog park. Extremely dog friendly area. I consider myself very personable and easy to work with/text to figure out exactly what your needs are. I look forward to the opportunity to take care of your dog when needed if you feel I’d be a good fit! I work from home full time and have a very flexible schedule for walks, bathroom breaks etc. Able to travel to your home for walks or pick up and host at my home. I live in The Village which is an extremely pet friendly community. We have walking trails, fields great for fetch, and even a full on dog park. There are tons of dogs here in the situation you prefer to have your dog socialize with others, but not a problem either if you prefer the opposite.

About: Grown up with dogs my whole life, and have experience pet sitting for dogs and cats as well. I’m good with all pets regardless of size or feistiness, and am plenty strong if you have dogs who try to rip off your limbs during walks. I have milkbones and a bunch of dog toys as well, so no need to haul everything over if you’re leaving your pet with me overnight. I have a remote part-time job, with very flexible hours, so I am able to work around the dogs’ busy schedules. I don’t own any pets at the moment. However the client or pet needs. I can comfort them if they scare easily, I can bathe them if they are dirty. We’ve always treated our dogs like siblings, so there’s no location or activity I can’t handle.

“Great service and great with my dog.”

“Gabriella was so wonderful! She sent pictures throughout the day and let me know how Summer was doing, which put me completely at ease. I will definitely be bringing Summer back for playtime!”

About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life and I enjoy spoiling them. We have two small dogs and two cats of our own and they all get along after a few sniffs and barks. I have pet sit for many family members and friends. I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is very flexible. I am able to watch, feed, play, and possibly walk with your pet. We love fur babies! We have a fenced yard with a small, male dashhound mix and a small, male poodle mix to play with. We have gates set up that go in our living room and kitchen so they would have a lot of space. We have two cats but they like to hide in the back of the house. We have three lovely kids who adore animals but also know their limitations and will give them plenty of space!
