Doggy Day Care in 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.

“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.”

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.

“Alexis was great with Bailey. We were comfortable as soon as we arrived. Usually Bailey will bark at strangers but he didn’t. He went right over to her wagging his tail. She kept me informed letting me know how he was doing and send us pics. Bailey can’t wait to go and play with Alexis again soon.”

“Michael was great with my Rottweiler! My dog had an amazing time and was clearly well cared for. Michael even took extra time to work on some training and taught my dog a couple of tricks, which I really appreciated. He also gave me some helpful advice. I’ll definitely be booking with him again.”

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.

“Luiza took amazing care of my pup. She clearly made Zoey’s care and well being a priority . I felt very confident and safe leaving Zoey with her and will certainly contact her again if we are in the area .”

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: I've taken 1 year of an agriculture class in high school where we researched barn animals, built things like bird houses, dog toys, dog beds, and we took care of barn animals. I do not currently have a job, so my schedule is pretty free, and I can focus on taking care of them since most of my time at home is either playing video games, watching video games, taking care of my cat and my sister's cat while they are away. I care for both my sister's cat and my cat, and I treat them very well. I take them outside for at least 30 minutes per day as recommended. I always check their water bowls to make sure that it isn't dirty, and when it is, I try to clean it up. Whenever they want to play, I try many different things to see what they want to play with, and when that doesn't work, I try to take them outside. I am willing to learn new things about the animals I look after, and I hope you're willing to give me a chance.

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Trista is truly amazing with my dog, Oreo. He’s always so excited to go to her home and comes back happy and well cared for every time. She treats him like one of her own, and he absolutely loves the attention and affection he gets from her kids. I never have to worry when he’s with her — I know he’s in a safe, loving, and fun environment. Trista is reliable, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I’m so grateful to have someone I can trust completely with my fur baby.”

“Andrea did a great job with Daisy! She was able to administer her medication and paid careful attention to detail. Thank you Andrea. We will see you soon for our next doggy day 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.

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

“Randi is fantastic! She put my mind at ease with my boy. Super grateful for her taking care of my pup at late notice and giving excellent care. Highly recommend!”

About: As a work from home pet owner, I have extra attention and love to give to my pets! I can’t wait to spread the love to any fur babies that need some extra company! For doggy drop offs, smaller breed babies work best! However, I would be happy to come to you- no matter how big or small! I work fully remote from my home, which allows me to set time aside to take walks and give scratches and snacks to my furry friends :) I have an 8 month old pupper that loves to run around outside and take naps throughout the day! We frequently take walks around my gated neighborhood and play in the large grassy area close by my home! I have no problem sticking to feeding schedules and all pets have full access to hydration stations throughout the entire day!
