Doggy Day Care in Rio Communities

“Miranda was great! My pup came home tired and happy! Miranda is very responsive, great communication and sent pictures and video. Lovely fenced yard and a well matched play group. Will definitely use again! Thank you.”

About: I’ve always had cats and dog from the time I was born. Over the last 10 years I’ve also gotten chickens, ducks, Guinea hens, turkeys, goats, horses, pigs, rabbits and Guinea pigs. There’s not much I haven’t dealt with or cleaned up. I only work part time and I am a mom of 4 children who all do rodeo. All 4 of my kids love animals and are super helpful when helping care for animals. My two teenagers are super responsible and do work themselves to help pay for their rodeo and things they want. We live on a fenced acre and a half. We have 4 dogs, 4 outside cats, poultry, 3 goats and 2 horses. All of our pets get lots of love and attention as yours would when in our care.

“Jacqulyn was so helpful and responsive, and I really appreciated that she was able to take care of my dog with very little notice! Would definitely book again :)”

About: I've been around animals my entire life. We had family friends who lived on a farm and that place was like a second home to my sister and I. Alongside that, we had 3 family dogs. The first two dogs we had since I was about 5 and the other was given to me on my 10th Birthday. During the 13 wonderful years she was in my life, she had two full liters of puppies in which I was responsible to help my parents manage from birthing to selling them. I have the knowledge and skills to take care of older pets as my Miley got really frail in her older years. I am someone who has always had a deep emotional connection towards animals, dogs specifically. I believe that once you adopt, take in, or purchase a animal that they are automatically apart of the family. I am currently my grandmother's caregiver in the morning and in afternoon I work part-time as a CYFD Family Visitation Monitor. I care for my grandmother for 2 hours in morning and in afternoon I am gone anywhere between 3 to 5 hours depending on when scheduled in but am always back by 630ish. I live on half an acre fenced property so there is plenty of safe room for your dog/dogs to be entertained and loved on by my 2 sweet doggies and myself. I do have the means to crate easily if necessary, as well as, plenty of rooms and space if separate feeding is needed. I do have several water stations in my home, which I change daily, so your doggie will always have access to fresh water. At night, my puppy gets closed in my makeup room where her bed is with some water and toys to keep her company; while my older dog sleeps freely in the home. Every morning I wake up at 7, let dogs out while I get ready for my grandmother's, and then they get returned to crates while at grandmothers. After I get home from Grandmother's I let dogs out and feed them. After they eat, I let them outside and leave them out for a little depending on the weather. My house has several big dog toys which are constantly played with inside as well as out depending on the weather. And of course I have treats because you can never forget to reward the babies for good behavior and just to occasionally spoil them.

About: Hi there, I'm a stay at home mom who has always loved animals. Before having kids I was a groomer and kennel technician. Growing up I always had pets. Dogs, cats, lizards, gerbils, snakes, fish, pigs, horses, birds..i'm probably forgetting a few lol. I was the weird kid, saving every bug or animal around that was in danger. I'm very compassionate and empathetic. I was a very gentle groomer. I'd be happy to take care of your grooming needs as well although I dont have all the equipment..i can trim/dremmel nails, clean ears, sanitary shave, trim around the eyes, bathe and such. I have no problem administering medication. My kids are great with animals as well and love to help out. We have dogs and a cat of our own but your pets are welcome to have a room for themself if they stay over or they can join the pack! If we seem like a good fit for yall, lets chat! We are pretty much always at our home, if not at the park or out running errands. We can work around your schedule, no problem! We live on acreage, although not fenced. Leash walking is not an issue and we can take them to the back of the property to run around as well! We have 4 dogs of our own so we know how to manage a pack.

About: I am an animal lover and love having any kinds of fur babies over, even caged animals. Let my family become your fur baby family away from family. We will pay lots of attention to your fur baby and love on them and spoil them rotten. We are homeschool family so we are always home. We will treat your fur baby like one of our children. We have a fenced in yard and 5 kiddos who will give them lots of kisses and hugs. Your babies will be inside our home and will not be left outside for any amount of time, unless they are going potty or the kids are outside running around. we don't kennel pets unless its requested by the owner. I provide updates or pictures, even on occasion a video update. I offer long term pet sitting as well for as long as 6months to a year ect. Your babies would love to come back. I will follow any diet you ask or even give medication when needed. I am a stay at home parent/homeschool, so your babies will get alot of attention from all of us. We feed them on your schedule and if they are food aggressive, we can feed them away from other animals I have a fenced in yard, so dogs can easily run around and play fetch freely. We cuddle on the couch or in bed, and give treats. We can crate as needed and of you require it but we prefer bot to crate.

About: I'll make sure to take care of your family like if they were my own family. Each family member is treated with care and love. I'm a stay at home parent so I have loads of free time and what is better than filling that up with cuddly adorable pets. As soon as I wake up in the morning I will make breakfast for my family and myself and then proceed to feed the dogs as well. And through the day we will all hang out and even go for walks.

“Far and away a better experience than the first go on Rover. She kept us informed with text updates and pictures of the doggos. Sweet hounds and plenty of space to roam. Your dogs are safe in her hands!”

“Tracy puppy sat my baby girl! She made the day stress free. She sent updates through out the day and my pup came home happy and content. I would definitely recommend.”

“I met Elaine and her doggies about a year ago. My dogs finally stayed at her house for four nights last month, and then for one day last week. My dogs had already met her dogs a year ago, and when they met up again, they were like old pals. No growling or hassling. It was perfect! I got daily updates and pictures from Elaine. It was so comforting! And my dogs did great at her house and with her dogs, and it was just the best! I booked a full-day stay last week, and they were literally going INSANE when we were driving into her neighborhood. That tells me a lot about their experience there! They love going to Elaine's house! Our next booking is during the Christmas-New Year's Eve time frame, and my dogs are already so excited, and Elaine has let me know that so is she, and she's gearing her doggies up for a week-long visit :-) My neighbors/friends that used to keep them all the time are moving back to NJ, so this is exactly what I needed at this time in my life. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dogs at Elaine's, whether it's for a day or a week! This is the best thing EVER!!!!”

About: I have provided care for cats and dogs for many years. I have experience with puppies to senior dogs that need more attention due to health issues. I will be available Monday-Friday, 9-5pm. I would love to hang out with your pets all day! I work from home so I can care for your animals during my work day. I will care for your animals, take them to the dog park, feed, water and even walk in the park. I have a small pool in my backyard for cooling off in the summer months.

“I needed a last minute day care for my puppy bear that was spayed a week ago. Bear still had a cone and being a rescue she is still learning things like potty training as well as getting comfortable with humans. That being said I was timid to leave her with anyone she didn't know, however tamara handled her perfectly. I was able to work without worrying about my puppy, I had asked for updates at 11 and 3 which she provided with pictures as well as a detailed summery of the day. If your a first time rover user I defiantly recommend her!”

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. As the founder of a nonprofit rescue, I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to introverted senior cats, and I truly believe every animal deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. I specialize in shy, quirky, or high-needs pets—those who might take a little extra patience (and maybe a snack bribe or two) to warm up. The photos you see here? They’re a mix of foster pets, my personal pets, and beloved dog-sitting clients. If your pet has ever been described as “a little dramatic,” “selectively friendly,” or “too smart for their own good,” we’ll get along just fine. My approach is gentle, flexible, and grounded in experience—and lots of treats. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs and personality, whether they’re a wild child or a cuddle bug. My goal is for your furry family member to feel right at home—even when they’re not. Someone is home most of the day, so your pets will have plenty of companionship. We’re only ever away for a max of four hours at a time—perfect for pets who need extra snuggles or supervision. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love making new pals. I can easily crate your pup if needed or keep them separated if they prefer their own space. My home is pet-proofed, cozy, and always full of love (and treats).

“Sarah has been so great taking care of Nalia. Nalia and Prince get along very well, and I really appreciated Sarah taking the time before our first doggy day care day to make sure they were a good fit. She has been incredibly flexible with my schedule and Nalia always comes back happy and sleepy!”

About: We have two bullmastiffs who are very friendly, well socialized and love to play with other doggies. I love to care for and play with them and I will care for and play with your doggies like they are my own. I am free on the weekends and update my weekday availability on here. I will always make your dogs safety and care my #1 priority while in my care. We have a fenced yard for them to run around in and a dog door so they can cool off inside whenever they want to. Our house is “puppy proofed” and dogs are free to climb onto couches and beds.

About: I've grown up with dogs (mostly big ones) all my life. I've worked with big, small, and medium dogs and understand behavior stems not from breed but from how the fur babies have been treated. Currently in between jobs so Bear and I have lots of time for walks in the park and dog park fun. We love meeting other pups. I have a safe fenced yard with a dobie who gets along with all sized pups. I make sure to keep the yard and house clean to ensure a friendly welcoming environment. We can also crate doggos if owners would like.

About: I've taken care for dogs, cats, pigs, lambs and more, I have experience with dogs that can weigh up to 300 lbs like the one I own. Dog care is my full time occupation as long with other side hustles if schedule allows. Your dogs needs comes first whether they make a or mess or need a combing. My back yard is fenced, my big dog is friendly (your dog might be scared of them) so I won't really have them in the same room, as well as a park close by for walking.

“Sasha looked after our dog as we travelled through Santa Fe. It enabled us to visit museums without dog. I so appreciated her accommodating us!”
