Pet care experience

Loving, safe & clean home for all!!

Down Home Doggy Daycare offers walking, boarding in our home, and daily daycare drop ins. ****Disclaimer**** 1)There is a school aged child in our home. To keep everyone on a schedule, we ask that drop off and/or pickups be by 8p. 2) While we wish we could help and take care of every baby, we ONLY accommodate 3 at a time. This is for the safety of your little and to give adequate attention to all. We thank you in advance for understanding. Our home is smoke free with 3 very sweet and playful boxers. Nikki is Domino's mother. She was a farm dog and is loving all the attention she wasn't getting before. Domino is socialized and spoiled. She plays well with any size or breed of friend and treats each one like her new BFF!! Bane is equally as playful and a people pleaser :) My family will give the same care and attention for your dog(s) as if they were our own. Regular ear scratchings and belly rubs means your baby will feel right at home. I take multiple pictures (of their vacation, lol) to help put you at ease. With the knowledge that your baby will be happy and safe you can relax and enjoy your vacation. We like to take frequent walks at Jack Mattox and Camp Jordan with your dog. Also, our shady fully fenced in large yard is a great place to romp and play catch. We do prefer meet & greets prior to accepting booking reservations for our new guests. We also require proof of current vaccinations including rabies for ALL guests to help ensure the safety of everyone.

Kristen was great to work with. Communication was excellent and the entire boarding process was smooth. She kept us updated wth pictures. Would definitely repeat.

I had never used a pet sitter or boarded mt dogs prior to using Kristen. Usually, my mom or best friend will help take care of my 3 dogs while I am away - but this trip they went with me so I did not have a choice but to find somewhere for my babies to stay. Kristen was amazing. She made me feel completely at ease and sent me photos daily. I will definitely use her again!

Here to say another great stay with Kristen. She truly is the best. We left our Peachy girl for another week with her and I didn’t have one single worry. She has such a welcoming presence and home. When I dropped Peaches off, I had a place bleeding on my arm that Kristen noticed and she didn’t hesitate to go get me a bandaid. I say all of that to say, she truly is a kind human and you know it means even more when your dog approves and is happy to see her. We will continue to use Kristen to dog sit as long as she allows us to. Thankful to have such a trustworthy person to watch our fur baby. :)

We couldn't be happier with the care our boys, Ranger and Tucker, receive when with Kristen. It gives us peace of mind knowing they are receiving so much love and care when with her. We highly recommend Kristen to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Ranger and Tucker!

I have a fully fenced in yard to allow for running and playing catch. There are plenty of outside toys to keep us all entertained. If weather doesn't permit, our open floor plan works well for tug of wars or ball throwing down the hall.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your furbabies mentally and physically. We play lots of games and take walks around the neighborhood. On some occasions, we load up in the car to go to nearby parks and trails.
