Doggy Day Care Lugoff

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was fifteen. I had two rescue dogs in high school until they became senoirs. I have assisted in a birth and raised a litter of puppies. I had a service dog for many years and two service dogs in my current household all of which I trained myself. I also have a Diploma as a Canine Specialist. I am currently a stay at home mom with open availability to care for your pets needs. We take time everyday for exercise, play, and sun bathing. Your fur baby’s schedule is my schedule. I have a big house and a big yard. Your fur baby will have his/her own safe space in the house to use as they feel the need. I also have education in animal behavior, and nutrition.

About: I spent over two years managing a dog training facility, so I really understand how to make pups feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. I’m also Dog CPR certified, so safety is always a top priority. What really makes my boarding special is that your dog isn’t just a guest — they become part of a warm, nurturing family. From playtime and cuddles to cozy naps, your pup will feel right at home while you’re away. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life! I work outside the house for only about two hours a day, so I’m home the majority of the time to give your pup plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I’m available all weekdays and stay flexible with drop-offs and pick-ups to make things easy for you. Whether it’s morning walks, cuddle breaks, or evening playtime, I make sure every dog feels cared for and part of the family all day long. When your dog stays with me, they become part of my family! I have a big fenced-in yard that’s perfect for playtime and zoomies, plus another friendly dog who loves making new friends. Our two little ones adore helping with gentle pets and belly rubs — it’s truly a home full of love. Everyone’s safety always comes first, so if a pup prefers quiet time or needs their own space, I make sure they have a comfy, peaceful spot to relax. Your dog will feel right at home with plenty of love, care, and family fun every day.

“This was our first time using Rover and Leigh was an awesome puppy sitter! We will definitely be using her again, it's nice to know our dog is well taken care of if we need to go out of town.”

“We left two our two Australian Shepherd mixes with Paola for the day while attending a family reunion from out of town and were happy with their care. The dogs were comfortable with her and enjoyed relaxing in her comfy air conditioned home on a hot day. She sent photos and sent them home with cute report pages about their adventures.”

About: We’ve always had dogs and cats in our home but we are a military family so we move around often and we are not ready to bring one in permanently so I thought helping others with theirs would be perfect. I know I needed help with mine so I’m happy to repay the favor to others now. I have 3 kids who are used to animals (especially bigger dogs), private yard, no other animals in the home. I’m home all day and would love a buddy or two to join us from time to time! I only ask that dogs are kid friendly! We don’t mind animals on furniture but will adhere to any at home rules you may set (if you don’t allow them to do certain things at home, I won’t deter any training and let them do it here and vice versa!). Crate trained dogs are preferred but definitely not required! Just know a lot of dogs may do better in a new setting by having their own spaces to retreat to! I’m a stay at home mom, other than school drop off/pick up & errands, I’m home to care for pets in my home or visit a pet in their home We treat all pets like they're part of the family. When it comes to caring for pets, I'm all about creating a cozy, safe, fun environment for them. From belly rubs to fetch sessions, I'd make sure they feel right at home. We live on a private road with plenty of space to run around. Whether it's a scratch behind the ears or a tasty treat, I'd give them all the love and attention they deserve. And you can bet I'd be sending you cute photos and updates to let you know they're in good hands!

About: Are you looking for a mature pet sitter/Walker with high integrity? I love all the animals, big and small! I will earn your trust and be the best sitter you ever had! I've volunteered at the animal shelter and always rescued/saved cats and dogs. I have experience of more than 20 years walking with various dogs, potty training puppies, administering oral medicine as well as I have given vaccinations. I work from home and make my own schedule, so I'm available at any time for your pet needs. I offer walks, exercise and play, drop in visits, and boarding at my house. I have fully fenced 6 acres of well maintained land and will play and exercise with your dogs as much as they want. I will send you pictures and keep you updated, so that you don't have to worry about your dog well being. I currently work at home and my schedule is very flexible.

I have a separate living quarters with heat and air conditioning so that I can separate your dogs from other animals if needed.

About: Growing up on an animal farm introduced me to pet care early on. Continual dog ownership and constantly seeking improvement has helped me with my care for pets. Being prior service within my job scope I was directly affiliated with working dogs, service dogs, and basic training for both! I’ve always been the one to be called on in regards to family and friend. A hamster, a fish, a turtle there’s a friend for everyone here! There is no dog too big or too small. I am extremely grateful for the time you took to look at my profile and I want you to understand that your pet would be in caring, tender hands. I’m a stay at home dad and my wife owns a private personal training business. I’m always home, and when I’m not my wife is. We tend to our 2 dogs, 3 fish and multiple varieties of plants. We have a neatly cut tree line surrounding our 2.5 Acre property. The dogs are allowed to roam freely. The fish are not allowed to roam freely. We have a variety of dog toys outside, multiple sources of fresh water outside and inside. When the dogs are outside they are administered. When we welcome your pet here you can expect top notch treatment! I preform frequent grooming on my own dogs so I’m always happy to brush or bathe any other pet! I can maintain anything from a human baby, all the way to a spooky horse! (Huge difference there right?) A nicely maintained property that’s ambiance is accentuated with nature! Clean, fresh cool well water in the water sources every day. Inside is extremely welcoming for pets also! Pets are allowed to roam the house freely, where you’ll find water sources and plenty of dog toys. Our whole family thrives off of positive reinforcement, so we are always trying to progress our pets knowledge while having fun in the process!

“First time dog parent. First time Rover app user. So glad Monty & I connected with Raquel. From first point of contact, meet and greet, day one and day two of doggy care was absolutely amazing. Raquel is a genuine, authentic, dog care provider. Communication ✅. Care Expectations Met ✅. Very Responsive✅. Professional✅. Personable✅. She’s passionate about caring for dogs and it is shown through her attentiveness to the well-being of dogs while under her care. Raquel’s sitter etiquette is superb. To see her love on Monty at drop-off and pick up gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was being left in good hands. To make things even better she shared updates via pics and videos throughout the day on each doggy daycare visit. Hands down, we’ll be re-booking Raquel. #RaquelROCKS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with a strong background in behavior science. I have professional experience working in applied behavior analysis and I am currently completing my degree in psychology, where I focus on how behavior is shaped through the environment and reinforcement. Dogs have always been a central part of my life. I currently live with three dogs, including high-drive working breeds, so I understand the importance of exercise, structure, and mental engagement. Because of my background in behavior science, I focus on positive reinforcement, clear communication, and creating calm, safe environments for dogs. Whether your dog needs a reliable walk, companionship while you are away, or someone who understands behavior and energy levels, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, engaged, and well cared for. I am especially comfortable with active breeds and dogs that need extra structure or mental stimulation. Services offered may include walks, drop-in visits, and companionship depending on your dog’s needs. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care for pets throughout the day. I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your dog’s needs. Because I manage my own schedule, I can often accommodate last-minute walks or drop-in visits as well. I provide a safe and structured environment for all pets in my care. My home has secure housing and a safely fenced yard where dogs can exercise and explore under supervision. I am attentive to each dog’s comfort level and carefully monitor interactions to ensure everyone remains calm and safe. I also maintain clean conditions by regularly disinfecting surfaces, water bowls, and common areas to help protect the health of the animals in my care.

About: Update: I will not be available May 18-25, and Jun 2-14 I love dogs!! I've fostered many dogs and volunteered at many shelters. I've had seniors and even fostered one with spina bifida. My first two loves were English Bulldogs. I have lots of experience with them and know that smooshy face breeds are much more delicate than other breeds. I absolutly love them! I'm not good with extremely energtic dogs, but can handle anything else. I am semi-retired. I currently work part time on Friday and Sundays with an occasional third day, so I am home a lot. I have plenty of time to devote to your pooch. In my home, I care for your pet just as I care for mine. Of course, with your direction implemented also. I do have a pool, so I will need to know how your dog is around pools, or if they have zero experience with pools, I will need to know that as well.

About: I own & operate Champ STRONG Kennels, a small capacity, in home boarding business where dogs are treated like family. They can enjoy supervised indoor play, outdoor time in my fenced backyard, & regular potty breaks every 2 hours. I follow each dog's individual routine based on the information you provide prior to their stay, including feeding schedules, medications, & any special care instructions. For safety, dogs are separated during feeding & may be kenneled for sleeping, rest periods, or arrivals & departures when appropriate. My limited capacity allows me to provide each dog with plenty of attention & care. I've spent over 25 years caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, & personalities. My business was inspired by my Boston Terrier, Champ, whose legacy lives on through the care I provide every dog that stays with me. Please note: I require all new clients to book a daycare appointment as a trial before I can accept a boarding reservation. This helps ensure your dog is comfortable in my home environment & is a good fit. My dropoff/pickup windows are currently Monday through Friday, 7AM to 10AM & 4PM to 7PM, and Saturday through Sunday 8AM to 10AM. Currently I'm unavailable for dropoff/pickup on major US Holidays. *Hours subject to change based upon availability. I have open space for indoor play & a fenced in backyard for outdoor play. Though dogs are free to roam & play while staying with me, during other dropoffs & pickups, dogs are always secured in kennels for their safety.

“Thank you for the good communication and photos/video! Mantecado was nice and tired last night after a day with Nova :)”
