Doggy Day Care in Piney Flats

“Carola was great - we were new at leaving our dog with anyone and our dog is old and not great at being left anywhere. By the second day, she was settling and Carola had her all figured out. We got to enjoy Nelson and not be limited by our dog in the heat or at a restaurant. Would recommend this service to anyone travelling with a pet who needs a special home away from home.”

About: As a military spouse I have helped care for our dogs and many of our neighbors dogs as well. From large to small, I love dogs of all kinds. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs, and our own dog loves the company of other dogs. I am a mom and am in nursing school, but pet care is the highlight of my day. My schedule is open during weekends during the school semester, and outside of that I'm fulltime at home. I have a fenced in yard and a dog and cat friendly home. I also have children at home, but they are 10 and up. I prefer dogs crated at night, but during the day they are allowed to roam inside or out in the fenced backyard and will be well taken care of with lots of friendly petting in my home.

“Amanda was very flexible with our schedule and maintained great communication. She is personable and was good with our boy. Thank you.”

“Lyndsey always takes the best care of my baby Claire! I feel very comfortable leaving Claire with her whenever I need a sitter in JC. I recommend her highly!!”

About: I have been caring for pets for almost 60 years and treat every pet as my own. Whether it is daily walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I foucs on making each pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I understand routines matter, so I pay close attention to your pet's needs and keep communication open with regular updates, photos, and messages. My goal is always for you to feel confident and for your pet to feel right at home. Retired, reliable, and available full-time to help with your pet-sitting needs. Happy to love on those furry friends whenever it benefits their owners. I have housed dogs and cats all my life. My home is safe and animal-friendly. I have a large yard to play in, although it is unfenced. Happy to walk the puppies as often as they would like, good for both of us!

About: I will continue your ways of interacting with your dogs. I will tailor my approach to your fur baby. I am experienced in the delicate handling of senior pets, including mobility assistance, administering oral or topical medications, and monitoring for subtle changes in health or behavior. For young pets, I reinforce your specific training cues and house-breaking routines to ensure consistency while you're away, helping them stay on track with their development. I use positive reinforcement and a calm energy to manage high-anxiety pets or those who are easily overstimulated, ensuring they feel safe and secure. I’ll send you consistent updates and photos so you can see exactly how your pet is thriving, giving you total peace of mind. Would you like to discuss a custom care plan or schedule a meet-and-greet to see how I interact with your pet? I've been around dogs all my life and will treat your pet like I treat my own. We don't deserve the love they bring and give out unconditionally. I'm retired. I have plenty of time to devote to your pet. Plenty of time to play, walk and snuggle with your fur baby! Our yard is not fenced. We have 10+ acres to take walks. We have 3 dogs who love to play. Our pack is very excepting and inclusive.

About: Hi, I'm Erica! Animals have never been just a hobby, they've been my entire life. With a background in Pre-Veterinary studies at ETSU, hands-on veterinary clinic experience, and years spent raising, training, grooming, and caring for animals, I understand that every pet is unique and deserves individualized attention and compassionate care. I currently work professionally as a dog groomer and proudly offer boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, walks, and grooming services in a safe, structured, and loving home environment. My home is designed with dogs in mind. We have a clean, comfortable setup, a dog door for easy access, and a fully fenced one-acre yard where pets can safely enjoy supervised playtime, zoomies, sunbathing, and plenty of sniffing adventures. I also share my home with four friendly, well-socialized dogs who help create a fun and welcoming atmosphere for visiting pets. Because I work as a groomer, I never leave pets unattended for long. Typically no more than 4–6 hours and I intentionally limit the number of pets I accept so every guest receives plenty of love, attention, exercise, and individualized care. Crates are available if needed, and I maintain consistent routines to help pets feel relaxed, secure, and right at home. I have experience caring for: • Puppies and high-energy dogs • Senior and special-needs pets • Medication administration, including oral medications and supplements • Special diets and feeding schedules • Anxiety-prone and shy pets • Multi-pet households • Cats, small animals, and reptiles I use gentle, low-stress, fear-free handling techniques and understand that some pets simply need a little extra patience, reassurance, and TLC. Whether your pet is outgoing or nervous, my goal is always to make them feel comfortable and safe. Professional grooming services are also available, including baths, brush-outs, deshedding treatments, nail trims, and full grooms. Boarding clients may even enjoy discounted grooming services so your pup can head home looking and feeling their best! You'll never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you're away. I love sending daily photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, comfortable, and being treated like one of my own. This isn't just a side job for me caring for animals is truly my passion. I strive to keep my rates fair because I know how important it is to find reliable, trustworthy, and affordable pet care from someone who genuinely loves what they do. I welcome dogs of all sizes, as well as cats, small animals, and reptiles. Whether your companion is furry, feathered, or scaly, I'd love the opportunity to care for them and make sure they feel right at home while you're away. Additional Information • Puppy rate applies to dogs under 2 years old. • Standard drop-off and pick-up hours are 8:00 AM–7:00 PM. • Early morning or late evening drop-offs/pick-ups may incur an additional fee. • Meet-and-greets are always encouraged, but not required. • Daily photo updates available. • Limited spots available to ensure individualized attention and care. • Crates available if needed. • Grooming add-ons available for boarding and daycare guests. All of my pets and yours are my full time job so all of my attention is towards them! I do walk other pets and step out of the home at times, but I'm only gone max of 4-6hrs at a time. I have a large fenced yard to ensure all pets are safe to play outside. I do monitor constantly and no pet is ever left unattended.

“Melanie was great! Our dog was so happy and very relaxed when we picked him up. She sent regular updates to let us know how he was doing. Will absolutely be using her again!”

About: I have cared for pets of all ages over the years and adopted a pup of my own about two years ago. He’s up to date on all vaccinations and loves other dogs. I have experience with giving medications to animals, caring for both puppies and older pups, and my apartment is hardwood floors so accidents aren’t a problem! I am a graduate assistant and in grad school. This means that I word pretty weird hours and I do a lot of work remotely. I’m home anywhere between 8 hours to 24 hours a day and can rearrange my schedule depending on the needs of the animal. There is a dog park nearby and it’s a safe area. For my pup, and pups I’ve boarded/cared for before, I traditionally feed them in the AM and give them plenty of water. We go to the dog park to start the day and get the energy out. I make sure to leave dog-safe toys on the floor so they know they have stuff to play with and I dog proof the apartment before I leave each time so they don’t get into things they shouldn’t. We go out later in the day to the dog park again to socialize or get the zoomies going. We go back and have a little more food or a snack and then hang out before going out on a walk to end the day. I'm working full-time in ministry so I have lots of time throughout the day to care for your loved one and will be gone no more than a few hours per evening for bible studies and groups. I take my dog, Tonka, out 5-6 times per day minimum and we love to go on walks and be outdoors. I have a large field directly behind my apartment and live in a very pet-friendly area tucked off the main road so your pup will enjoy lots of safe and supervised outside time! I allow animals on the furniture and keep all choking hazards up high. My dog has a knack for finding even the smallest things to mess with so I have good practice with keeping a safe home.

“Treated my dog like if it was her own. Very accommodating to my schedule. Would definitely recommend and I will seek her help again.”

“Amber did a great job taking care of our 10 lb poodle! She has a very friendly dog of her own and took special care introducing them to one another! Her home is clean, neat and cozy! We did doggy day care she walked Lucky 2 times in four hours! When we found out we’d be late on the pick up, she responded immediately and said no problem! We’ll definitely use her again should our need arise! Thank you Amber!”

Ann L.

“Hailey was very accommodating to my drop off and pick up times. She took great care of Benji & communicated with me throughout the day. Thank you Hailey!”

Bailey K.

“Brutus had a day of doggy daycare with Sheryl today and had a ball! She was so attentive to him- playing with him and taking him on walks. Sheryl sent pictures, videos and updates. She followed his schedule exactly. We couldn’t have been more pleased! We plan on using Sheryl in the future anytime we need care for Brutus!”

Robin C.

“Great in communication and care! Will use again if needed.”

Bethany V.

“Faith took incredible care of my Laila. She sent messages and videos throughout the day and Lai came home so happy. I definitely recommend her as an amazing option for dog care.”

I have experience working with cats and dogs of all sizes and behaviors. I also have experience caring for rabbits as I had my own.

I absolutely love animals and treat all exactly as I would want someone to treat my own. 😁 I am available most evenings after 4PM or anytime on Thursdays. I try to be as flexible as I can for last minute bookings to assist in any way I can. My entire front yard is fenced in with 6ft chain link fencing. It has a mini agility course as a fun activity for the dogs. I also have extra crates and can crate if/when needed. If I am coming to your home I will treat it and your pets with love and respect.
