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.

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!

So very happy with my first experience with Kristen and the Rover platform. Kristen was very communicative with answers to my questions pre boarding and updates and pictures during my doggie's stay. He and I both were very comfortable upon entering her house and meeting her for the first time, and he didn't even give me a second look when I left him! I definitely will use her again!

We wish we could leave 100 stars! Kristen was amazing! Our two dogs have nervous issues one is a pomsky and she is neurotic and the other is a rescue who was abused. They are not used to being left with anyone other than family! They walked right into her house and completely forgot we existed! Normally the pomsky goes on hunger strikes nope she didn’t this time!! The rescue is afraid of everyone, everything or any new location nope he was having so much fun!! Them being with Kristen made our vacation so much more enjoyable. We knew our babies were in good hands!! We really think they are depressed being back home lol!! We HIGHLY recommend Kristen!!!!

Kristen was just wonderful! She took such good care of my little pup while I was out of the country for a week. It's important to me that Gracie likes her caregivers, and she really does like Kristen and her family, making herself at home in their laps. She is experienced and knowledgeable about dog behavior and needs, and I trust her implicitly with my precious little pup. I'm so glad I found her on Rover, and would use her again without hesitation. Many thanks, Kristen. You are greatly appreciated!

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.

What is their daily schedule like? Are they super playful and needing more exercise, or laid back? Does your dog have any separation anxiety? What is their feeding schedule? Any allergies or medications to be aware of?
