Doggy Day Care in Oaklawn

About: We currently have 3 dogs and they are very much considered family in my household, and always have been. They truly are man's best friend. We already have three dogs, and we both (My wife and I) work from home! We would have the same routine as our day to day. Draco and Bronco love being outside so they chill there most of the day, if the weather permits. Lula can usually be found at her mother’s feet. They all sleep inside, cozy in their beds, or ours. If they have to be inside because of weather, they just lay around throughout the house.

About: I have owned and cared for animals since I can remember and have been pet sitting officially for the past three years. I briefly studied Veterinary Assistance in college but ultimately decided, owning my own pet business one day was the dream job for me. I provide two daily walks on our 6 acre property during boarding and an exciting day of life on the farm. We have an indoor/outdoor fenced in play yard as well as a comfy cozy living room setting boarding room. If you still can’t picture all the fun your pup will have here, call or text to set up and meet and greet and come and see us! We are a family business so your pups will get loved and cuddled every chance we get. I am excited to meet and care for your babies as if they were my own and look forward to seeing you all soon! I am a pet services owner and operator and my schedule is highly flexible! Caring for your pets is an added joy to my day and week! All the best for your in home care! Large bowls of cold water, special treats, lots of belly rubs and indoor-outdoor play! WagginTails is a must 😉

About: Dogs have always been part of my everyday life. I’m not just a sitter; I’m a genuine animal lover who understands how important your pup is to you. Over the years, I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, giving each the patience, love, and consistency they need to feel safe and happy. My own dog, Dottie, is a gentle, social butterfly who loves making new furry friends. She’s well-traveled, kid-friendly, and has even been a source of comfort for people in my corporate office. If your pup loves companionship, they’ll have a ready-made best friend waiting here. I work 100% from home, which means your pet will never be left feeling lonely. I have the flexibility to give them plenty of attention throughout the day — walks, backyard playtime, cuddle breaks, or quiet time if that’s their speed. Daily care isn’t something I squeeze in; it’s a natural and joyful part of my routine. Your pup’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My half-acre backyard is fully fenced with a spacious patio and a covered area for shade, perfect for supervised play or lounging. Inside, your dog will be welcomed like family — cozy, cared for, and never crated unless that’s part of their routine. I get to know each dog’s personality and needs so I can mirror their home life as much as possible. I keep things consistent, calm, and full of love. You can expect regular updates, photos, and honest communication every step of the way.

About: I've had pets since childhood- dogs, cats- babies to seniors. At a get together, you are as likely to find me engaging with the pets and children as I am the adults. I just retired from 30 years in the Federal Government. Excited to pursue other passions, and walking and caring for pets is one of them. Our pups are family, and go almost everywhere with us. They love cuddles, and walks, and riding in the car. I believe pets are family, and I treat them as such

“Patrick and Chris are excellent dog sitters and all around great people. I work early mornings in the hospital before any other daycares open and was worried I would have no place to bring my 4 month old puppy. They willingly took my pup in at 0515 am. She was so excited to see them the next morning. We will absolutely use them again!”

“Our dog loved spending time with Larissa and her family. We were so glad she got to enjoy time with kids and other dogs. It would have been great if there was a fenced outdoor area in the home but it’s not that big of a deal. We will 100% have Larissa care for our pup again soon!”

“Morgan is incredible - amazing, kind, patient, trusting and reliable! We just got a new puppy who is not yet trained and she’s so wonderful with him. My husband and I highly recommend and truly appreciate her! Thank you :)”

“They are the best in every way possible. I never worry about my dog with them. My dog is always happy to be at their house and always good and tired when she gets home.”

“Watson loves to visit Sandra and gets super excited as soon as we turn into the driveway. He felt right at home immediately and became part of their family. ❤️”

Rachel M.

“Belle was very good about explaining everything---areas available to the dog, other dogs at the home, toys, food, water, vet etc. Everything was clean. It was the first time my dog had been left with someone other than myself and so it was all new to him. I felt confident that Flynn was well taken care of and will use Belle again.”

Celeste C.

“Thank you for taking great care of Monster!! Maria is reliable and always have availability during the weekend. Will book again in the future.”

About: I have owned and cared for animals most of my adult life! Mostly dogs and cats, but a few rabbits, fish, and other oddities here and there (no snakes though!). Pets are my passion! I never had children of my own, so fur babies ARE my kids! Recently, I helped my baby girl, Dollie, deliver her first litter of Shih-tzu puppies. They are PRECIOUS and raising them was one of the biggest joys of my life so far! Prior to getting Dollie and Porter (yes, they are named after Dolly Parton and Porter Waggoner), I rescued a Shih-tzu named Nash and had him for 11 awesome years. He had a lot of medical issues, including surviving cancer twice, so I am also well-versed in caring for senior dogs and giving them medication, feeding special foods, etc. Additionally, my friends and family don't hesitate to call on me when they need help caring for their four-legged friends. I have two precious Shih-tzus as noted in my "Pet care experience" and am able to devote extra time to them because I currently work from home. That also means I have great flexibility to help care for your fur babies! I have a fully fenced-in yard where your pup(s) can run and play. My two Shih-tzus are also friendly and love to play and keep their four-legged friends company. I can also crate your pup if you or it prefer.

“Maxwell had a blast with Emily’s girls. He was pooped out both days during his stay with her. Emily let me know how Maxwell was doing throughout the day with texts, pictures, and videos. Will definitely consider Emily again in the future.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals most of my life — from my own cats to neighborhood pets, shelter animals, and dogs at my current daycare job. I’m also studying to become a veterinary technician, so I’m comfortable with both everyday care and pets who need a little extra attention. My experience includes: • Administering medications (oral, topical, basic eye/ear drops) • Caring for senior pets with mobility needs or special routines • Working with puppies and kittens (crate training, potty schedules, socialization) • Reading body language and adjusting care for shy, anxious, or high-energy pets • Providing daily enrichment, structure, and calm companionship I'm currently working full time, set schedule from 6am - 1pm. I only provide morning services 2 days a week on my days off, to ensure all pets get the care they deserve 🥰 When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely when it comes to feeding, walks, litter box care, medication, and any quirks or preferences your pet may have. I know how important it is for your pet to feel safe while you’re away, so I take my time to build trust, offer calm companionship, and pay close attention to their needs.

“Thank you for your flexibility today and continued amazing care of our sweet boy! He loves playing at your home and we appreciate all you do for him and us.”

About: I have 20+ years experience caring for my own dogs, pet sitting, and fostering for dog rescues, including experience with senior dogs, puppies, and medical cases. I work from home so I can provide your pet with plenty of love and attention and have very flexible scheduling for services within my home or within your home. For services within my home: I have a large, adult, fixed male dog who is great with other dogs and is very calm. I have two acres of unfenced property with beautiful mature trees and surrounded by farmland. My dog and I frequently sit on the back patio and enjoy the sounds of nature. Depending on the needs of your dog, I can take them on our regular walk to the nearby park (about 1.5miles total, 1-3x per day) or shorter walks around the property. For services in your home: I understand the importance of your dog's routine and I have the flexibility to offer services so that they won't skip a beat when you're out of town.

About: i have taken care of animals since i was younger for family and friends. I know keeping your dog in your own house is much nicer than boarding them. Animals deserve getting the attention and love they need. I am currently working full time but do make my own schedule so i can take off whatever days needed or work only half shifts so your animals have my time! while I am at your house I will follow whatever rules you have set for your animals. I do prefer to spend the night at your house so your animal does not have to be alone throughout the night and can get the attention they need. I can take them on walks, play with your animals, bring them to parks, etc. I am currently working part-time and have open availability, so I can be flexible and work with whatever schedule you need. Please let me know what works best on your end. I provide attentive, routine-based pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. My care includes feeding according to instructions, refreshing water, regular potty breaks or walks, playtime and enrichment, and lots of affection. I closely monitor pets’ behavior, appetite, and energy levels, and communicate any concerns promptly. I also maintain the home by cleaning up after pets, securing doors and gates, and respecting the client’s space. I’m comfortable following special care instructions, administering basic medications if needed, and providing regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
