Doggy Day Care in Mills River

“We were initially apprehensive about leaving our anxious pup at doggie daycare, but upon meeting Jaren, our worries melted away. Their fenced-in, lush green yard, complete with a variety of dog toys, immediately reassured us. We were warmly greeted by their adorable mini Aussie Shepherd, Bowie, who quickly became fast friends with our dog, Dale. Meeting Ann and their other two friendly doggies only reinforced the welcoming atmosphere. The easygoing nature of the household made drop-offs and pick-ups effortless. Dale returned home pleasantly tired from a day of play, without feeling overwhelmed.”

“KaLynn is always sweet with my pup. She send lots of pictures and makes sure he is well taken care of. She is my go to person when I go to the Biltmore.”

“Lacie was absolutely wonderful to our Cockapoo, Biscuit. We did day care in her home and she has a house perfectly suited to having animals and a huge fenced yard. She clearly loves animals and I’m so glad I found her. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Michelle was very responsive and attentive to our dogs during a daytime visit at her home. They are not boarded very often and it was comforting that she gave them the attention they needed. Would definitely use her again!”

“Maria has watched my dog Arty several times, and if you ask him, he would give her 10 stars! I can tell he really likes it there by the way he gets so excited when he realizes he’s there for the day! I get several pictures of his play day once a day, and sometimes a cool video. A great way to stay in touch with your pet while he’s away during the day. Maria’s French bulldog Stella is a very intelligent, tolerant dog, and is now Arty’s best friend! I would highly recommend Maria for pet watching in her home and boarding.”

About: I've had dogs my whole life and currently have 4 very happy snoops from small to large. I'd love to walk, hike and/or run your dogs to keep them happy.I've cared for puppies and senior dogs and am comfortable with both. Pet care is easy for me since I don't have a regular work schedule. I retired as a Navy contractor and competitive triathlete. I can walk them, let them out and feed them early morning and late evening. We have a large fenced in dog yard and can bring your best friends to our house to run in a safe area, this is especially nice for dogs that don't do well around other dogs.

“Calvin was a wonderful dog sitter for a whole week. I was instantly comfortable with his demeanor and professionalism. I knew my dogs were in good hands.”

About: I have taken care of pets as long as I can remeber. People ask me to help them with their pets all the time. Your pets are part of your family. I will treat them as the treasures they are. I am available every day from 7:30 am to 7 pm. With those hours it gives me a lot of time to keep your fur baby entertained and fed. I know that for my own clan of animals that I prefer to board them at home. I like to offer the same service to my clients. Kenneling at home keeps your pet comfortable in surroundings they are used to. I can swing by to feed them, walk them, and just keep them company at least twice a day.

“Absolutely love and appreciate everything about Tiffany’s dog sitting arrangements/services💯+‼️”

“This is a great family and I’m starting to think my dog loves them more than she loves me. They’ve been flexible with my work schedule which has made a huge difference in my life and my pup’s. She always passes out snoring after spending the day over there. Happy puppy! Thank you so much!!!”

About: I’ve always loved animals! At 9 years old, my sister and I passed out flyers in our neighborhood offering to take care of people’s pets while they were on vacation. That started me on a path of animal care that I’ve continued since. I’ve cared for many breeds and temperaments of dog, from Papillons to Pit bulls! I’ve yet to find one I didn’t adore. I’ve taken a handful of training and behavioral courses. I work from home and don't have a set schedule, which means I can cater my time to fit your pups needs! I am very flexible when it comes to bathroom breaks and walks. I’m not an overly active person so extra high energy dogs won’t be a great fit. I am in a house on 1.5 acres. It is not fenced in but we have plenty of yard to explore. Because I don't have a fence, I will not let your dog go off leash. Your pups are welcome, and in fact encouraged, to be on the couch with me. As well as sleep in bed with me if they prefer. I also have plenty of room for any size crates if your doggo prefers their own space. Bottom line, I want my home to feel like a second home for your fur babies!

About: My name is Kristina, I own two dogs (aussies!) and 2 cats. I train my dogs for agility and compete regularly, we almost have our championship! I work from home as a Graphic Designer, which allows me to be extremely flexible when it comes to taking care of your pets. I love sending pictures! A picture is peace of mind, you know that I'm there when we agreed I would be and you can see just how much fun your furry friend is having. I know how I feel when I'm away from my dogs and a picture helps so much. I understand how expensive it gets having multiple pets so I've drastically reduced the additional pet prices. Have questions or want to book recurring visits? Ask and we'll work something out! I can take care of your pets however you like. I am no stranger to elaborate instructions so feel free to tell me exactly how you want me to do things. I'm happy to water plants, pick up the yard, give meds, etc.

About: First and foremost, I absolutely adore animals! Even as a kid, I would only accompany my mother to visit her friends, who had dogs or cats in their home. I appreciate, respect, and can relate to the bond humans have with their pets. They are very much family and there's nothing more satisfying than seeing your fur baby comfortable, relaxed, and content, in our home or yours, while you're away. We only board 2 dogs at a time, to ensure a quiet, calm, and more relaxing stay, and have a large fenced in backyard for playtime. Dogs staying with us must be house trained. We also have a cat, who loves to play with dogs, so to ensure his safety, any dogs boarding with us must be cat friendly. Some of my previous work experience includes 4 years as a veterinary assistant and I'm comfortable with administering medication, if needed. I have dog training experience and have even trained two of our own to become registered therapy dogs. Together, we serve our community by providing pet therapy in shelters for domestic violence victims, assisted living facilities, our local university, in elementary schools, and wherever she's needed. I currently work with German Shepherd Rescue organizations, assessing temperaments/behavior, conducting home visits, and fostering. We live near the airport, which makes it ideal for dropping off and picking up when traveling for work or going on vacation. Several of my clients leave their babies with us when leaving the country. In addition to dog sitting for many friends and family members over the years, I've also taken care of cats, horses, goats, and even iguanas! I can't wait to provide extra love, play time, and affection for your fur baby, too! I work from home and we have one dog and a cat. I closely supervise any dogs that are our guests here and can provide potty breaks as frequently as needed. Any pets staying with us are supervised inside and out. Our yard is large and fenced in, so it's a great place for play sessions. For drop in visits, I customize it to the owner's wishes and dog's needs.

“Kristie was just wonderful! We were visiting the area and needed daycare for our Shih Tzu, Sushi. As soon as we met Kristie (and her own Shih Tzu, Brody), we knew Sushi was in a loving, happy home. We were delighted to see that there were a few other small pups staying for the day, so Sushi would have lots of playmates. Kristie updated us during the day with photos, and just as we suspected, Sushi made himself right at home. We highly recommend Kristie and Brody!”

“Ryan was very flexible and conscientious when Oliver stayed with her for the day. She sent pictures and let me know how he was doing. She has a menagerie of animals, including several cats, rabbits, a dog and a bird, so he got a lot of up close socializing experience, which is good for him because we like to take him out and about where there could be other animals.”

Elizabeth J.

“Stephanie was very sweet and patient with my baby and I am so appreciative. She sent me updates throughout the day which I enjoyed. She was accommodating to my hectic schedule.”

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind and size since I was 10. I’ve taken care of blind dogs, Diabetic dogs, and dogs that are prone to seizures. I worked at a veterinarian office for two years and while in the military was a volunteer at vet clinics on the weekends when I wasn’t on duty. My whole life has revolved around animals from Chihuahuas to great Danes. I have assisted in potty training for young pups with great success. It just takes love and patience. Dogs are a chapter in our lives, but to dogs we are their whole book. I am retired and Home seven days a week. I have nothing but time on my hands and I want to spend it caring for pets. If your pet is staying overnight with me first thing to know is they will be sleeping with me in a king size bed, snoring is a plus 😊 in the mornings when we get up, usually around 6:30 or seven, we go outside to potty. If your Pet is not potty trained, no worries I will have pee pads light out in case of any accidents. Once we come in, I make their breakfast and while they eat, I have my coffee. After they eat, I wait around an hour and a half to two hours before play time, this gives their food time to digest, especially in big dogs that are prone to stomach flips. We will chase balls, play, tug-of-war, or whatever their toy of choice is even if it’s just play play play. We go for walks in the evening and then it’s dinner time. After dinner, I like to brush them and just sweet talk them.

“My dog got to spend extra time with Ashley! She's great with dogs. Thank you!”
