Doggy Day Care Pine Hall

About: I can’t remember a time in my life that I didn’t have a dog (or two). Big dogs, little dogs and in between. Now that I am retired, I devote most of my time to caring for my two “baby girls”. Daisy & Bella are litter sisters although they don’t look a like. They are Teddy Bear/Schicons (1/2 Bichon Frise and 1/2 Shih Tzu). They are inseparable, looking out for each other or wrestling together, where there’s one there is the other. They do play well with others. My sister’s little girl is a Shih Tzu and she is an only child, we laugh and call her the Princess. I sit for her for a week or long weekends when my sister visits her daughter out of town. She also comes over for play dates. They all respect each other’s boundaries and the Princess has learned to play with “the Court Jesters”. My dogs and visitors are allowed on furniture and beds. My yard is not fenced, but I do have a radio frequency collar system that I can use or walk on leash per owner’s preference. I live a long way from the road so it is safe. We go on golf cart rides around the property in the afternoon, my girls look forward to it. I am retired, so unless I have a doctor appointment or go grocery shopping, I am home 100% of the time. I do go to church on Sunday morning. My girls have the run of our home but I can use a crate if owner desires. I will treat your fur baby like I do my own. They are my #1 priority, always. They have a feeding schedule twice daily with a few treats throughout the day. They get lots of love and snuggles to their satisfaction. I encourage them to play with toys inside interacting with each other and myself. They will get plenty of exercise indoors and outdoors. I refreshed their water several times daily.

“As always our girls love staying with this sweet family! We feel so comfortable leaving them & know they will be well watched in a structured, loving home!”

“Jessica was incredible. We had a very last minute need and she was responsive, confident and we felt from the beginning that there wasn't a situation that she couldn't handle when it came to our dog. He can be a little anxiously attached and she didn't bat an eye. She was a godsend when we needed one!”

Mary C.

“Rebecca was amazing!! She really helped to make my anxious dog feel better. She was very responsive and flexible with pick up times. I would definitely use Rebecca again!”

Megan C.

“We picked up a very happy pup. She enjoyed playing with Taza and her family. She met a cat and that went better than we imagined. Taza made sure she ate, ran, played and had a good time.”

Sherrod B.

“Christina was great with my dog Remus. She was attentive and listened about my concerns for him. She provided regular communications about how their day was going. I was very appreciative of her efforts and care.”

Dewey H.

“Jenna and Shane are fantastic! My pup can be particular about who he vibes with as he’s a bit of an anxious boy. He immediately loved them and got along with their dogs. We will definitely continue to use Jenna and Shane!”

Virginia D.

“Briana did a great job with Eddie! She was very attentive to his breed being sensitive to the heat and made sure he stayed cool. Would use her again!”

Nickie M.

“Lutisa was very helpful in that I needed a sitter ASAP, and she agreed to take my Myra. I was so appreciative that I didn't have to leave her alone for many hours. She took very good care of her.”

Virginia D.

“Andrea was so amazing to my baby girl Kylie. Kylie instantly loved her and felt comfortable. She communicated well, set updates and pics. I can tell kyky had a good time with her, her pups and family. Thank you again Andrea. I will be using her again.”

About: I’ve always grown up with animals in the home, a home isn’t a home unless you here the pitter patter of those paws of the floor. Dogs are at the heart of my being and unfortunately you can only have so many. But the best way I’ve found to experience the love of all kind of dogs are through the caring for of everyone else’s four legged friend. I’ve always watched and cared for others animals off and on as a side income and personal enjoyment; giving all the love and attention they need while their human is away. All the way back when I was in high school, many years ago, I discovered the love and care for others dogs when I worked for the groomers and it’s never stopped since. My sweet Winter departed in 2020 after 13 long and steady years by my side and while I haven’t yet been ready to give my full heart away I’ve found great healing, giving lots of love, walks, baths, ball games, and lots of snuggs, All welcomed with love. After 10 years working in the field of Art Education and Public Art Coordination I decided to take the leap and start my business, Swift & Dapper LLC. Life is never one size fit all and too short to accept anything less that extraordinary whether that’s personal style or grooming, spacial reconfiguration or custom built carpentry, curated interiors or stunning professional services you have specific needs and you deserve nothing less than what you need and then some. S&D is happy to offer paw-fessional pet services. With a home based operations that leaves plenty of time for swing by visits or stay-cations for your special friend. They’ll have all the attention they need and anything else to ensure a happy and paw-sitive care. Our four legged friends should always be at home and feel comfortable. Fresh running water, soft comfy rugs and beds, and lots of fluffy blankets for those that like to snuggle up on the sofa for a movie. Our backyard is large and fenced in, ready for fetch and play time. We are used to having little furry ones (especially our neighbor’s little ones) wandering around and keep it in the front of mind always. Instructions for specific care are much appreciated and followed to the ledger.

“Doggie Day Care with Carrie was a very pleasant experience. My day care request was last minute and Carrie was very accommodating to squeeze me in. My dog, Doug, came home happy and tired from all the exercise he received. I appreciate the care they took with him and definitely would entrust Carrie with watching Doug again Thank you.”

About: I have experience with many different breeds, sizes, and ages. I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life. My family had a dog when I was growing up that I helped care for and I’ve loved taking care of pets ever since. I will treat your dog like they’re my own- with so much love, lots of playtime and belly rubs, walks, and snuggles if they like. My schedule is extremely flexible during the week/weekends so I will have time throughout the day to spend with and care for your pet. Your dog is welcome to come stay at my house if we think it’s a good fit. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I do have a spacious yard that your dog can explore and run around. We live right outside of a nice walking neighborhood so if your pet likes to walk, walk we will! I have two friendly pups who love to play that will also be able to keep your pet company. I can crate your dog if that’s part of their routine.

“Catie was so flexible with drop off and pick up times to accommodate my work hours! Lucy has a great time and she can’t wait to spend some time with Catie and her two pups again! Thanks Catie ☺️”
