Doggy Day Care in Lake Murray of Richland

“Lexie was great with communication. Huck had a great day with the other dogs! I appreciated that she rinsed him off before I picked him up too. He had fun in the run and got a bit dirty. :). Loved the horses, goats and chickens. Will use again- only drawback is location isn’t very close to my home.”

“Jack once again had tons of fun! He comes home tired and satisfied. Richard and Lisa are the best. Take care of Jack like their own. Will definitely be seeing them again soon 😊”

“Michael and his wife were awesome! They instantly made us feel comfortable. They had a few other dogs to watch but all was managed well! Michael communicated well throughout the day. Our dog came home happy and tired :)”

“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!”

“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!”

“We left Polly with Celia for two days while we visited the Creation Museum. Celia sent us regular reports with photos of Polly. It was very obvious to us that Polly was very comfortable there. When we picked Polly up, she was glad to see us, but also looked back to Celia as if she was trying to decide which one she wanted to go with. Celia is the best dog board person that we have ever used and we highly recommend Celia to anyone who boards a dog in her area.”

“My pups don’t love everyone but they enjoyed their day here. Buddy is an anxious dog but adjusted very well and was comforted by the other animals upon arrival. Misty was way more comfortable and content than in a typical daycare setting. Both came to my vehicle with less anxiety than normal. We will be back.”

“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 🌟”

“Jud and Nicole are great! Dexter stayed with them for a day and with the very first picture they sent us just a few minutes after we dropped him off, I could see how happy and comfortable he was with them. He also had lots of fun with his new friend Baxter. Now we can rest assured that our baby is in great hands when we go on a trip in a few weeks.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life since day ONE- I grew up as an only kid on the family farm, so my pets were truly my best friends. That early bond gave me a deep, intuitive understanding of animal behavior and body language. I’ve raised and cared for dogs, cats, horses, goats, rabbits- you name it- since I was little and have always been able to tell when an animal needs space, reassurance, play, or just a quiet moment. I also have experience working with injured and/or sick animals; administering IV/IM injections, wound care/first aid, breathing treatments, etc. Today, I share my home with a sweet dog and cat, and we also own a horse who is boarded just outside of town. I care for every pet like they’re my own and develop deep bonds with the animals in my care. Whether it’s snuggling on the couch, a slow walk for a senior dog, or calming a nervous horse, I take pride in reading their needs and meeting them with patience, kindness, and care. I’m currently between jobs and using this time to re-evaluate my career goals- so I’m home during the day and have a very flexible schedule. The only regular commitment I have outside the house is feeding horses at our barn twice a week, which takes about two hours— so even on those days, I’m not away for long. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and relaxed. At my home, they’ll have access to a large, fenced backyard, playtime with my friendly terrier mix Robi and lots of attention from my middle school aged kids who love animals. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I treat every pet like part of the family, wherever they are.

About: **small dogs only** I am a recently retired teacher and I am willing to watch your precious pup at my home or stay at your home for an additional fee while you are away. My home is in the Irmo area, and I will watch and love your dog as I did my own morkie, Izzie who, sadly, passed away in September 2023, and our recently adopted 4-year-old Shih-Tzu Gus. We walk on leash only, have a fenced yard, a nice neighborhood to walk, and parks nearby. There will be plenty of play time, nap time, and fresh air. I understand how your pup is your baby, and I will provide the same attention and love you give. I only keep one client’s pups at a time so I can provide that undivided attention they need. My lap is ready for your pup, and belly rubs and snuggles are my specialty. Contact me to discuss pet/house sitting or arrange a meet & greet if you’d be more comfortable before booking. I am retired as of 5/31/24 and have plenty of time and love for your fur baby. I will stay in contact with you and provide pictures and video, whatever you desire. I have a fenced yard and plenty of room inside my house and my heart. I will administer meds if needed and stay in touch with you as you desire.

About: We have taken care of and loved animals all of our life. John and I are retired and can give your fur baby all the attention they need. ** All pets must be UTD on vaccines, including Bordetella** Must also be on flea/tick prevention ** We are retired “homebodies” so we have all the time in the world to dedicate and love your fur baby. They will never be left alone! We have a large, secure fenced in backyard. We also have a 1 1/2 year old male neutered Shih tzu so our home is safe and doggie proof!

“Stephanie is absolutely awesome. She has a really great place for the dogs to play outside and pillows for the pooches to sleep inside. I just feel really comfortable leaving Charlie and Rory with Stephanie.”

“Daniel was awesome with my fur baby. Every morning she was so excited to arrive and exhausted when I picked her up. She loved running and chasing the geese into the lake all day. She was loved and I received the cutest pictures during the day. I will book Daniel again when in town.”

About: In my life I have owned 6 dogs. One of which got so old she couldn’t eat or drink anything so twice a day I would have give her fluid through an IV that I placed in between her shoulder blades. One of my other dogs gave birth to 8 puppies which I cared for for 2.5 months till they were ready for their forever home. I have dog sat for neighbors and family members. My current dog has just been diagnosed with cancer so I am in charge of giving him his meds everyday and making sure he is comfortable. I have also just rescued a kitten who has really come out of her shell and is fully litter box trained. I love all animals and being a college student I don’t get to see mine very often, so I would love to come see yours and help you take care of them when you aren’t able! I am a stay at home mom looking make some extra cash on the side! Being a stay at home mom I am able to work for your pets schedule! I am a stay at home mom. I have a large fenced in back yard. 2 dog friendly dogs that love to play along with a 1 year old who loves the animals!
