Doggy Day Care in Riceville

About: Welcome to Pecor's Pups! My wife and I have a lifetime of experience caring for all sorts of animals. We love dogs, especially. I have a veterinary care background, as I used to be a vet tech. I also have a Zoology degree and am experienced with various different types of animals and the care thereof. We have an energetic - yet very gentle - Golden Retriever and a rambunctious Great Pyrenees mix so all dogs staying with us must get along with other dogs. We would be willing to separate our pups for periods of time to give your little guy/girl one-on-one time, if that is your preference. We do have the ability to block off areas of the home to separate (from my dogs, or if you have more than one dog and they need separation) if needed. We have a large fenced in yard that is treated monthly to prevent fleas in the area. They can get all the playtime they need! If you don't wish for that, though, then that is not a problem either. I have a very comfortable environment for any and all animals who stay with me, with several dog beds that are washed and sanitized after each stay (and in between often) as well as tons of puzzle toys and enrichment activities if they're interested in that. Otherwise, we will just cuddle and hang out! I will stay strict with any and all schedules (feeding, treats, play time, potty time, medicines, etc) that you provide, but if you don't have a specific schedule for your dog, then I will put them on my dogs' feeding, play, treat, and potty schedule (except for younger or older puppies that may need a little more accommodation in that department) I am very easy-going and easy to deal with. I will also send as many updates via text as you want, with photos and "report cards" of your little ones activities for the day. We also provide baths, nail trims and ear cleanings! Let me know what you may need during your stay with us! If you have any further questions about me or our home and/or our dog and the services we provide, do not hesitate to reach out. We own two businesses from home (Pecor's Pups and another business) so we have a lot of time to dedicate to your pet(s) and their needs! I have a fenced in yard and two floors (the downstairs is currently under partial construction to make Pecor's Pups even more accommodating and cozy!) I can separate pets if needed for whatever reason, and there will be a lot of space outside for pups to roam whilst also being completely contained in the safety of my backyard.

“YOU need her. Claudia was amazing. My dog was with Claudia for 4 days for doggy daycare. My dog would run to her front door like it was the dog park. She was incredibly responsive, showed much love and care for my beagle baby. We will rebook again!”

“THANK YOU Darlene. this was my first time scheduling a sitting time for my dog on Rover and away from home. Darlene was everything I wished for anyone watching my sweet Chico even for a few hours. she is a natural! she allowed us to bring Chico for a first quick meeting before the sitting date, Chico took up with her immediately and was very comfortable in her home. Her home is in a really nice and beautiful location ideal for anybody’s pet. She send me pictures and comments about Chico and how he was doing, I know he was not only taken good care of but was spoiled same as I do. Definitely will use her again and recommend her!”

About: Hi there! I’m a college student who studies from home and absolutely loves animals. I’ve had pets my whole life and have 5+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I currently have a super sweet 80lb labradoodle and a friendly cat who both love new friends and are used to being around other animals. Whether your pup needs a cozy nap spot, a calm environment, or a playful companion, I can adjust to what makes them happiest. I work at the local high school during the day, but when I’m not home, my husband is—so there’s always someone here with the dogs to give them plenty of attention, snuggles, and supervision. We also love going on walks around Lee University and nearby parks, so your pet can get fresh air and exercise too! I’m reliable, caring, and treat every animal like family. I’d love to be your pet’s home away from home! I’m a college student who studies from home, so I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the day. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime, potty breaks, or just relaxing company, I’m able to adjust to your pet’s routine. Since I’m home most of the day, your furry friend will never be left alone for long and will always have someone around to give them love and attention. I treat every pet that enters my home like part of the family. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly space where animals can feel comfortable and safe. I make sure all pets are supervised during playtime and mealtime, and I pay close attention to their behavior to keep them stress-free and happy. My Labradoodle is friendly and well-socialized, and I always do slow, monitored introductions to make sure everyone gets along. I also follow any specific instructions you leave to keep your pet’s routine and preferences consistent. Whether your pet is in my home or I’m visiting yours, you can expect dependable care, affection, and a safe environment every step of the way.

About: Experienced vet assistant and kennel technician with a strong background in both dog and cat care. I've volunteered at animal shelters and lived in a multi-pet home, providing daily care, enrichment, and love to animals of all breeds and temperaments. I work from home and can provide near-constant care and attention for your pets. They’ll never be left alone for more than an hour or two, ensuring a safe, supervised, and comforting environment at all times. Your pets will enjoy a loving, comfortable home with plenty of freedom to relax—including cozy spots on the furniture. They’ll have safe playtime 4 times a day at a local dog park and are let out for potty breaks 6 times a day. When we aren't going on walks, the dogs will be free to roam the townhouse and enjoy plenty of love and pets! At night, they’ll sleep peacefully in their crate, but don’t worry—I provide plenty of fun and enrichment during the day to make sure they’re happily tuckered out and ready for a restful sleep. Every pet gets personal attention and care tailored to their needs, so they feel right at home.

“This is the fourth time I’ve used Victoria and I couldn’t be happier. She’s extremely flexible with my schedule and always takes such good care of Juno. Juno gets tons of attention and exercise playing with Victoria’s puppy Stark and I can tell that she loves going over there based on how easy it is to get her in the car on the mornings I take her over there. I can’t recommend her enough. She’s a great sitter for a great price”
