Doggy Day Care Louisa

“Buffy had her first day of doggie day care and seemed to love it! Charissa worked with her on some leash manners while letting Buffy get more comfortable being around the other pups. Charissa must have kept her mind and body busy all day because Buff came home and slept the rest of the evening. We are looking forward to Buffy getting some more time around other dogs.”

“Nathan was incredible. He got back to us with answers to our questions. He sent us pictures and updates throughout the day, we used him for doggy daycare. We will definitely be using him again.”

About: I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience with animals of all kinds—from cats and dogs to birds, bunnies, and even livestock. I grew up working alongside an equine veterinarian and have spent years collaborating closely with small animal vets, giving me a strong foundation in animal health and behavior. Whether your pet needs meds, special care, or just a little extra love, I specialize in supporting animals with medical needs and take pride in being calm, compassionate, and highly attentive. I’m not just a sitter—I’m a lifelong animal caregiver who treats every pet like family. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I’m able to give pets the time, attention, and care they need throughout the day. Whether it's midday walks, medication schedules, or just extra snuggles, I’m consistently present and available to keep your pets happy and stress-free. My routine is built around their needs—because their comfort and well-being come first. 🐾 In my home, pets enjoy a safe, secure environment with a fully fenced yard and plenty of supervised playtime. My own friendly dogs are always happy to welcome new furry friends, but if your pet prefers one-on-one attention, I can provide a quiet, relaxed space just for them. I tailor the experience to match each pet’s personality and comfort level—whether they love to socialize or just want a calm companion.

“Paula is very responsible and attentive to your concerns about your pets wellbeing. Having had two really bad experiences here with my pet, I wish all sitters were like Paula. A responsible adult with good common sense looking after your pets wellbeing. On top of that she lives in a nice neighborhood with her own backyard.”

About: Your dog will be treated like part of the family while you're away. I intentionally keep my numbers low so every guest receives plenty of individualized attention and supervision. I'm a homeschool mom, homemaker, and lifelong dog lover. My husband, two daughters, and three dogs make our home a fun, safe, and loving environment where someone is home most of the day. 🐾 Meet & Greets Required I require a free meet-and-greet before accepting new clients to ensure we're a great fit for each other. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! As a homemaker, I'm present for the majority of the day, which allows me to provide consistent attention, potty breaks, and playtime throughout your dog's stay. Every dog adjusts differently, and I have the ability to tailor my routine accordingly. Your dog's comfort and safety are central to how I care for every guest. I closely supervise interactions between guest and resident dogs, and I take time to understand each dog's temperament and needs before allowing unsupervised play. Meals are served separately to maintain a calm environment and avoid food-related tension. I'm happy to follow your dog's established feeding schedule, medication routine, or any additional care instructions you provide. At bedtime, I do my best to replicate your dog's normal setup, whether that's a crate, a dog bed, or another familiar arrangement, so they feel settled and secure throughout their stay.

This means that I can provide 24/7 care and 100% focus on your little friend full-time. More importantly, your pet will be more comfortable always having a human around.

The three pillars of my pet care are safety, reliability, and comfort.

About: I am part owner of a dog training business and have dog trainers on premises. I’ve had dogs in my life since I can remember. I believe dogs are the best medicine for anyone. I limit myself to only a few dogs at a time so that I can ensure each pup gets all the love, attention and care they need while their owners are away. I am a remote worker, so I am home nearly 24/7 so your pup will be well cared for and treated as though a member of the family while staying with me. I cater to what each dogs needs. Your dog will never be left alone unattended while staying with me. I have 6 acres so there is plenty of opportunity to explore.

“Jeanette was awesome with Milo ! I needed a last minute sitter for him as I’m visiting from out of town and wanted to take my kids out for a bit, Jeanette replied back quicker than I had expected! She kept me updated with photos of my little guy. Whenever I’m back in town and need a sitter I’ll definitely be contacting her again :)”

About: I have had pets all of my life. I currently have 3 dogs, a Pomeranian/Westie mix, a Husky/staff mix, and a Staffordshire terrier. As well as fish, two guinea pigs and two mice. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds. Cats, fish, rodents, and most reptiles. I have owned cats in the past and I have family who have cats. I have cared for lizards and bearded dragons. I always follow the owners instructions on care. I have experience walking, playing with, and caring for animals. Administering medication, and basic first aid. I am patient when meeting a new animal. I allow them to take their time to warm up to me, I let them come to me vs me approaching them. Please let me know if any allergies, current injuries, medications, ect that I may need to be aware of. As well as any certain quirks they may have, for example some cats like to try and escape , dog can jump over the fence, they hate their neck touched, and so on. This is all so I can make sure your pet is comfortable and receives the best care! I always treat pets like they are my own, with love and kindness. I love getting to know each one’s personality! It truly is a joy to have an animal warm up to you and open up. I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is usually pretty flexible. I do like to keep my pet care within a certain distance radius of my home. I have a fenced in dog run attached to my house where the dogs can go outside to play and go potty. I always make sure my dogs as well as others are harnessed and leashed prior to going outside. I make sure there are no hazards in the home that could hurt the animal in any way.

“Riley was great! Worked well with my pet and kept in contact. She was super flexible and sweet.”
