Doggy Day Care in Penton

“Chestnut had a wonderful time with Ms.Melanie and Mr.Chris while I was away for a week. They were very accommodating with the day care schedule, willingly keeping her for extra couple hours in the evening. Ms.Melanie kept us posted throughout the day and sent us lots of pictures of our baby girl. Chestnut seemed to emotionally attached to Mr.Chris, as I saw her nestling in Mr.Chris's arms everyday. They even used Chestnut's Korean name which Chestnut usually responds to, so she feels more comfortable and settles well in the new place. We are grateful for getting to know Ms.Melanie's family and making American connection through Chestnut. They are the family of genuine love towards pets. I highly recommend them if you are looking for pet-loving, friendly, responsive, flexible, and reliable family in the area.👍👍”

About: Our entire family loves to care for animals! I personally have been a responsible pet sitter for over 25 years. While we currently are a pet free home, we have been thankful to have owned and cared for a black lab, yorkie poo (lived until 15), two German Shepards (currently guard dogs in Haiti), rabbits and many goats. While your pet is with me you will receive multiple updates and feel secure in the fact that they are being loved and taken care of just as you would! I would love the privilege to care for your beloved dog while you are away! I am a stay at home homeschool mom and have the ability to care for your animal all day. It is so fun to incorporate dog walks and playtime with your animals in my daily schedule. I can easily crate your fur baby, or they can sleep in a comfy dog bed. We have a large yard, with a small portion fenced. Since we are a homeschool family, we spend a lot of time out doors and I love to take dogs for walks and let them join us outside if that is what your fur baby enjoys. If you need help with drop in services at your own home, I can arrange those services to meet your dogs needs.

“5 stars! This was our first booking with Jonah and she went out of our way to insure that we were frequently updated during our pup’s visit. She exceeded expectations and now we have a trusted person who we know will take care of our dog. Highly recommended.”

About: I have cared for animals my whole life. I've taken care of them when abandoned by the mother, sick, or disabled. I have experience doing basic training. My own pets pile on me the second I sit down. I've never had a pet pass the rainbow bridge before the age of ten. I love animals so much and I will love yours too! **** I like to send many pictures and updates. Please do not feel obligated to reply to each one. Dont worry, I know you are busy**** Taking care of animals is all I want to do. I am a stay-at-home mom and my youngest is 16. I have plenty of time on my hands and love. I have fully fenced yard in a safe neighborhood. I have a pug of my own who doesn't mind other animals. I usually keep him in the bedroom for the first couple hours. I have two inside/outside cats who are also very friendly to people and animals. If I am sitting cats and dogs together, I will usually keep the two separate. Cats upstairs and dogs downstairs. Don't worry about attention. There is plenty to go around! If I'm caring for your babies at your house, I will follow the rules you provide.

“Patti was great!! Had to make a last minute booking and she was able to accommodate Rufus no problem. Gave him a great, safe place to hang during the day. Thanks, Patti!”

About: I’m a responsive, responsible, 30 year old mom that is happy to watch your furry friends! I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule. This job allows me to stay home with my children and not impulse buy a dog 😂 I’d be honored to have the opportunity to watch your pet for you or lend a helping hand on a busy day! I have assisted in caring for many kinds of dogs and cats since I was young. I’ve had and cared for everything from elderly micro Yorkies to large, wild Great Dane puppies! I have owned dogs and cats my entire life, as well as some smaller friends like mice, rats, snakes and hamsters. I will always do my best to make sure your pet is happy and healthy, as well as providing you with plenty of cute photos/videos of them during our time together! I am at home full time with plenty of time to shower your furry friend with love, attention and care! We will have the best time. We have a back patio for them to relax and get fresh air and sunshine and plenty of green space to go walking! I’m also happy to accommodate to your pet’s usual routine.

About: I'm an Animal Sciences graduate and incoming Auburn veterinary student with experience caring for a wide variety of animals. My background includes working as a veterinary assistant and kennel technician, fostering cats, volunteering with animal rescues, and more. Through these experiences, I've gained skills in administering medications, caring for senior pets, recognizing signs of illness, and providing compassionate, individualized care. I am comfortable caring for animals with a wide range of personalities, medical needs, and activity levels, and I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness at all times. Caring for animals has been a regular part of my life for years through fostering, veterinary medicine, volunteer work, and my own pets. I am able to incorporate pet care into my daily routine and make sure each pet receives reliable, attentive care, plenty of affection, and any specialized care they may need. Pets in my care are treated like members of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can relax and maintain their normal routines as much as possible. I closely monitor behavior, appetite, and activity levels and am comfortable administering medications if needed. I ensure pets always have access to fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention and affection.

About: I have been caring for pets my whole life. I've cared for all pets from dogs to reptiles. I have had many puppies and a few senior dogs as well. I am very knowledgeable about dog care. I have been a dog sitter several times for friends and family. My family consists of a dog, a cat, a leopard gecko, and two sweet guinea pigs! I have experience with all kinds of animals, including small animals and reptiles! I am a volunteer with Auburn University's Natural History Museum and handle and care for multiple different species of animals. I am a full-time college student studying wildlife ecology. Most of my classes are online, so my schedule is open most of the time! In my own home, I treat all my animals like they are my biological children (which they are). They are extremely spoiled, and I love them dearly. I would definitely extend this love towards a client's pet because I love animals, no matter the size or species!

About: In my opinion, dogs are the purest form of love. I've owned a dog for the past 15 years, and I honestly couldn't imagine my life without her. I spend most of my free time in the yard reading while Ruby explores the fenced-in area. We also enjoy being lazy inside. I do not have kids, so I treat my dog like my child. As a teacher, I’m on summer break from June 2 through July 17! When school is in session, my work day ends around 4 and then I'm free after that. I normally take my dog for a walk before work (between 6:30-7:30) and in the evening anytime between 4:30-9:00. I am available throughout the week and on weekends. I love animals, and I love caring for them. I promise to treat your animal like my own. I am currently on summer break and home every day!! I work full time from 7:30-4:30 every weekday. When I get home from work, my evenings are free and open to providing time for pets. I have a small fenced-in backyard. We live in a townhome that is within a quiet and safe neighborhood. There is a park nearby that is great for walking dogs.

About: I am Brooke. I am 32 years old, married, and a mom of 3 kids (5 years old, 9 years old and 15 years old). I have been a pet owner/pet mommy my whole life. I currently have a beagle, yorkie, and 2 cats-they are my fur babies and they are spoiled rotten. My 3 kids adore animals as much as I do. We can not walk past an animal without them (and me too) wanting to pet it. I am a teacher and I am flexible after school hours. My husband works pest control and he is available when I am teaching. We are home a lot, so we will have plenty of time to love and spoil on your baby! I can administer medication, feed, toilet and love your baby! Your pup will love running in our yard, playing fetch, walking around the neighborhood, and relaxing on the bed in the heat/ac! We will not let you down! We also live 15 minutes from Great Wolf Lodge in Lagrange. If you are coming for a weekend and hate to leave your baby at home, we would be glad to keep it while you enjoy your stay! I am a school teacher and I am flexible after school hours (3pm). My husband works lest control and he is available when I am teaching. I have a large yard that your dog can safely run around in (on a leash or I have a wireless electric fence if your dog has a collar). I also have 2 friendly dogs your dog can play with!

About: I've helped taken care of family pets ever since I was young and I pet sit for family. I'll care for your pets with everything I have. I'm currently unemployed so I will be able to care for your animals with every resource given to me. I love spending time with animals. I'll make sure they are safe, well fed, bathed, and feel loved and cared for. I'll do whatever it takes to take care of them.

About: Growing up in a family-owned animal hospital, I developed a strong passion for animal care from an early age and gained hands-on experience working with a wide variety of species. I have personally cared for four dogs and a rabbit, giving me a deep understanding of daily pet care, responsibility, and animal behavior. In addition to personal experience, I worked as a Veterinary Assistant at an animal hospital and shelter throughout my senior year of high school and during my freshman and sophomore years of college. In this role, I assisted with patient care, monitored animals, maintained clean and safe environments, and supported veterinarians and staff with daily operations. I also volunteer at a horse ranch during my free time, where I assist with animal care and ranch responsibilities. My background has allowed me to become comfortable working with animals of all sizes and temperaments while developing strong compassion, communication, and caregiving skills. currently work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and dedicate plenty of time to animal care and attention throughout the day. Pet care is naturally built into my daily routine, and I enjoy maintaining a structured schedule to ensure animals receive consistent care, exercise, and companionship. I have four personal dogs and regularly spend time finding new walking trails, parks, and outdoor areas to take my pack on adventures and exercise outings. Staying active with my dogs is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for pets, whether in my own home or in a client’s home. Growing up in a family-owned animal hospital and working as a Veterinary Assistant taught me how to properly handle animals, recognize behavioral changes, and maintain clean, safe, and stress-free environments for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I am very organized and dependable, so I like to keep pets on their normal routines as much as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, playtime, and rest. I also make sure pets always have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and exercise throughout the day. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and am able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and care. I have four dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, safety, and treating every animal like family. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks and exploring new trails and outdoor spaces to keep them active and engaged. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, carefully follow all instructions, and prioritize communication by providing updates and photos so owners feel comfortable and informed while they are away.

“Alexis was fantastic! I had something come up on a weekend last minute and not only did she welcome taking care of Delilah but she sent me multiple pictures of her happily cuddling on the couch and playing with her dog, Kong throughout her stay. She was also very flexible with my drop off & pickup times which I really appreciated with my last minute change of plans. Thank you Alexis!!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life. From puppies to seniors it’s a wonderful journey. I’v been training dogs my whole life, but recently got into more experienced obedience with my newest dog. Taking care of my dogs is the best part of my day, and I want to make it special for your pups too! I currently work part-time so I will have more time to spend with your pups! I’m available Monday-Thursday from 8am-3pm and occasionally on Saturday. I want the best care for your furry friends! I currently own 2 dogs who are crated at night. All pets are fed twice a day (morning and night). I want to make sure your pups get the best from me especially on walks. If we come across hot pavement I always pick up my dogs so they don’t burn their feet (if your pet has shoes, that would be great). If we come across any dogs, ill make plenty of space and distractions so no arguments break out!

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life as well as dog and cat sitting since I was 16 years old. I have helped potty train dogs as well as bird dog training. I own my own company and create my own hours so pet sitting fits perfectly with my schedule. I am able to sit whenever I want to and keep up with my own work. I live in an apartment where we have balconies that have locks and railings to keep animals safe as well as a fenced in dog park for any playtime activities. We also have a safe complex where we can do long walks. For safety purposes cats are not allowed on the balcony while with me. We also have doors with special codes so animals can not escape and doors at either of the hall where pets can not make it down the stairs on their own.

About: I, and my dog Gucci enjoy being social and spending time with others. I have only one dog and Gucci enjoys social time with the dogs we board. I have a large yard away from busy roads, a our house is currently under construction and pet friendly. We enjoy at least two walks daily. Your pup will be safe and secure in our home and out and about with us on our walks. It's always a good idea and we prefer to have dogs meet before drop off for boarding. The meet-n-greet will ensure everybody gets along and stays safe. We look forward to speaking with you and sharing more details regarding our care of your fur baby. Please feel free to reach out for more info or to discuss special needs. Gary and I are retired and have the time needed o focus on your pup. We are both active and enjoy hiking and walking around our property. Our girl Gucci enjoys the company of other dogs and is mellow and easy going. Although I do not have a fenced yard, the property is large and a great distance from busy streets. I will ensure your pup is safe whether requiring a leashed or off-leash walk. I am accustomed to keeping track of dog Gucci and ensuring she is secure and I know where she is at all times.

“This is the right person for your pup — Tori was amazing with Salle. I only needed a sitter for a few hours while I went into the archives for a research trip and she stepped up, was caring, asked the right questions (pre vet student) and fun (throw in a pup cup). Sal didn’t hesitate to hang with her and cried a little when she left- wouldn’t hesitate to leave my dog with her again!”

“Anthony was very nice & my dog seemed so happy & content at drop off/pick up! Will definitely use his services again!”

Mckenzy M.

“Alexis was great! Communication - check! Happy Pup - check! If in the Auburn/Opelika area again we will be sure to see if she is available. Thanks!”

About: I absolutely love animals and can’t wait to love on your pumpkin like they are my own! I will attend to all details no matter how in-depth they are and make sure your pets and home are content and safe when you return! Our pets are our world and we will soon be volunteering at CHS. I would love to see more fur babies in my day to day life! I have a very flexible work schedule and can take my break at any time. This allows me to help most times of day, provided that daytime care visits aren’t too long in duration. For house sitting, I will not be able to spend the night. However, I will ensure your pets get all the care and time they deserve. I will not be able to care for pets in my own home. Unfortunately we are not optimally set up for this with a member of the household with a dog allergy and lack of a fenced in yard.
