Doggy Day Care in Rolla

About: I grew up in a family where animals weren’t just pets—they were part of our daily life and the heartbeat of our home. Over the years, we cared for everything from cats and dogs to horses, cattle, and chickens. There has never been a moment in my life without at least one dog or cat by my side. That lifelong connection turned into a genuine passion for animal care. Because of that, I’m working toward opening my own boarding facility—one that will not only care for family pets, but will also take in strays and rescues who need a safe place to land. Using this app is my first step in that journey. I’m here to: build meaningful relationships with pets and their owners gain hands-on experience with a variety of animals and personalities earn supplemental income to invest directly into the boarding and rescue facility establish a future client base built on trust, reliability, and genuine care Your pets will be treated like they’re part of my family—because caring for animals is something I’ve done my entire life, and something I take pride in doing well. Pet care is a major part of my everyday life. I recently left my full-time job so I could dedicate myself fully to working with animals and building my future boarding and rescue facility. That means I’m able to structure my days entirely around pet care — not squeeze it in between shifts or treat it like a side task. Every week, my schedule is centered on drop-ins, walks, feedings, playtime, and enrichment. I set aside dedicated time each day specifically for pet visits, check-ins, updates, and keeping each pet’s routine consistent. Because this is my full focus now, I’m able to be flexible, reliable, and fully present with every animal I care for. Whether it’s a single visit or multiple pets throughout the week, your pet becomes part of my daily rhythm — and they’ll always get calm, attentive, and consistent care. How I Care for Pets in My Home and in Clients’ Homes My goal is always to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on the same routine they’re used to. Whether I’m caring for your pets in your home or mine, I make sure they get calm, consistent attention and all the essentials they need. In Your Home: When I’m caring for pets in their own environment, I follow your instructions exactly so their routine stays steady. Here’s what you can expect: • Fresh food and water on your preferred schedule • Clean litter boxes or outdoor potty breaks • Daily enrichment, playtime, and companionship • Respect for your home, your space, and your pet’s boundaries • Clear communication and photo updates every visit • Extra patience for shy, anxious, or rescue pets • Medication or special care needs handled as instructed I make sure everything stays clean, calm, and familiar — which helps pets feel secure while you’re away. In My Home (if applicable): In my home, pets get a safe, supervised environment with plenty of love and structure. They receive: • A quiet, calm space to relax • Regular feeding times and fresh water • Enrichment toys, cozy bedding, and comfortable hangout spots • Supervised play and attention based on their personality • Respect for crate routines or safe spaces if they prefer them I keep their environment low-stress and easy to settle into. Overall Care Approach: No matter where your pet is staying, I treat them like one of my own — with patience, consistency, and the kind of care that prioritizes their comfort and happiness. I tailor my approach to each pet’s personality, energy level, and needs so they feel understood and well cared for.

“Great on communication, received pictures and updates! Very understanding and accommodating when I was running late.”

About: I’ve owned and taken care of pets for years! I would love to take the weight off of your shoulders and help you with you pets! I am currently at home full time so I have all the time to take care of your furry friends! Sunday through Saturday I’ve got you covered! I have a fenced in yard and a walking trail very close by to take everyone on walks or runs and 2 furry friends of my own to keep company and play!

About: I have had pets my entire life and leaving them for longer than I'm used to is so hard. I've been with dogs that are hours old and I've been with dogs in their final moments. I do work 8.5 hour shifts 3-4 days a week. So while I couldnt care for them while I am at work before/after and and on my days off I am more than available. I require a meet and greet for new clients just so I know where all of thier stuff is and so the pets meet me with thier owners for the first time and it is less stressful. I can crate animals take them for walks, take them out in the backyard. Anything to burn energy before being left home alone again.

“Very communicative and did a wonderful job with our boy. I was so nervous to leave him but Taylor did a great job taking care of him. goose was worn out after a long day of playing”

“Brittany did so good with my dog! Wished I had found her sooner. She knows dogs very well and will make sure your dog is comfortable and well cared for, whatever that may look like with their quirks and characteristics!”

About: Hey there! I've been around animals and providing care since my early childhood. My love for animals lead to several years of experience working in the veterinary field, even to the point of Veterinary College until my family expanded. My background has helped provide training that allows me to provide professional and specialized care for a variety of pets. I am comfortable with giving medications, etc. so you don't have to worry about your pets getting the custom care they need. I am happy to accommodate for special requests when possible to help you and your pets feel comfortable. I am currently working from home (mostly as a stay at home mother) so I will have plenty of time to give supervised care to your pets. My goal is to make them feel as loved and cared for in my home as they do in yours. I have a fenced in yard as well as lot of indoor space. I have two cats of my own that roam freely in my home. There are mulitiple rooms, baby gates, and a large basement area if pets need to be separated for any reason.

About: As an avid animal lover with six years of experience working with dogs—including those who are sick, injured, scared, or have been abused—I can accommodate any special requests to ensure your dog's comfort and happiness. My home is a safe, smoke, drug, and alcohol-free environment where your dog will feel loved and secure. Big or small, every dog is welcome! I aim to make your dog excited for every visit. Consider me to be your dog's home away from home! Early Morning (6-8 AM): I start the day with potty breaks and individual or group walks based on compatibility and needs. Provide fresh water and food according to each dog’s specific dietary plan. Late Morning (10 AM-12 PM): Engage in playtime, which could include fetch, puzzle toys, or simply supervised free play in a secure area followed by supervised outside time. Afternoon (2-4 PM): Quiet time for rest or individual attention like grooming, brushing, or cuddles. This helps reduce anxiety and provides a calm environment. Evening (6-8 PM): Dinner service, followed by a final walk to allow for potty breaks before bedtime. * Night (9-10 PM): Final check to ensure all dogs are comfortable, have access to water, and are securely settled for the night. Address any late-night needs like anxiety or discomfort. My top priority is creating a safe, fun, and comfortable environment for every dog in my care. Each day includes structured playtime, regular walks, and plenty of opportunities for socialization, tailored to their individual energy levels and personalities. I provide nutritious meals, fresh water, and cozy resting spots to ensure their physical needs are met. Most importantly, I offer constant attention, affection, and a watchful eye to make sure each dog feels secure, loved, and right at home during their stay.

“Carolina is great! She is so kind and caring, and I always feel at ease knowing my dog is in good hands. She keeps me updated throughout the day with messages and pictures, which really helps me stay connected even when I'm away. My dog loves spending time with her, and I can see how much attention and love she gives.”

About: I've taken care of all ages of dogs. I have provided training and care for dogs of all ages. Bathing, walking, training, general care. I have also worked professionally training and caring for dogs for the government. I am currently working part time. I am available anytime all week as long as there is notice. I go to the gym Monday to Friday but only for an hour or two a day. I live on a farm in the country. With two friendly dogs at home. For boarding I can either allow my dogs around yours or not, your preference.

About: I’ve been an animal lover all of my life but specifically dogs. I feel they are true angels and as much as I’d love to own 10 of them, I can’t so this is the next best thing! I’m currently a stay-at-home mother of two children and we have our puppy, Nala. I have all the free time to take care of pets and make sure they’re constantly comfortable, loved, and checked on. I do have one extra large dog kennel. If you want to bring your own kennel, that is also totally fine! I have extra dog bowls as well, but again if you want to bring your own, totally fine! I have a safe, fenced in yard. I like to do outside time as much as possible so the dogs can get their energy out and if you have a food schedule, I can follow it!

“Brianna was awesome and really great with communicating. My pup and I recently drove to El Paso from Florida, and he was a little nervous being in a new environment. Brianna was honest with how he was doing and allowed me to hang out for a bit to help make my pup comfortable and happy! I highly recommend booking her to take care of your fur babies 🫶🏼🐶”

About: Hi! My name is Liz and I originally hail from Boston, MA, but recently moved to Fort Leonard Wood with my husband after 6 years in North Carolina! I have been working with animals for over 15+years. I grew up riding horses and worked as a veterinary technician for small and large animals for over 3 years. I have been working as an RN in acute care for the last 6 years, but have decided to take a break from nursing for the time being. I fill up my free time hiking, trail running, weightlifting, fishing, and camping. Life happens, I totally get it, so my cancellation policy is flexible. Please reach out for more information or any questions/concerns. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I currently am taking time off from nursing so have full availability. I am expecting my first child in May 2024, but will be active and dog walking/sitting (god willing) up until my due date! I am an early riser and can really work with you to accommodate any schedule you and your pet need. I would love to know your dogs typical routine and needs. I have a 12 year old Great Dane/pit mix named Ivan who is my best friend. He just needs a good introduction, but is glad to having 4 legged visitors and sharing our home :)

About: My experience with animals is over 15 years. From walking/ feeding and watering/ playing fetch/ to giving medicine when needed. Your babies from young to old are given the best in my care. I'm a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to care for your babies! The town I live is small and quiet so your pup should be extra cozy here. I have a cozy shaded (with plenty of room to move about) pen where your pup will stay when I'm not supervising them in the big fenced yard or talking walks.

About: Whether it’s taking care of my own animals, or others, I am passionate about them receiving the best care. I have a gentle heart when it comes to animals but also love playing fetch and other games. I grew up with a family dog I was responsible for caring for, along with many other animals. Growing up on a farm helped develop a love for animals and their well-being. I may not be a professional dog trainer, or even sitter, but I can assure you while your family member stays with me they will feel loved and happy for the entirety of their stay. Whatever your pet needs, I will try my best to provide it for them. *I am willing to drive to St. Robert or FLW area to meet to pick up pets for boarding. I am a stay at home mom so I will have more than enough time to dedicate to taking care of your animals! Any pet would be welcomed right into our family. I have a fenced in back yard where the dog will be able to roam freely to potty. I live in a quiet neighborhood great for walks!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have over 6 years of hands-on experience working in veterinary clinics, which has given me a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and overall care. From puppies to senior pets, I’ve worked with animals of all temperaments and medical needs. I also have two dogs of my own, Cleo and Ares, who keep me active and constantly learning more about pet care. Whether it’s going for long walks, playtime, or providing calm, comforting care, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my day around animal care, from morning walks and feeding to afternoon playtime and evening check-ins. But because I have a full time job, I will only be available on weekdays after 5pm. On Saturdays and Sunday, though, I am usually available all day! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play, rest, and quiet time. I follow each pet’s specific routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and their favorite activities — whether that’s fetch in the yard or relaxing on the couch. My two friendly dogs, Cleo and Ares, are used to having furry guests and love the extra company.

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life. I currently have one rescued border collie mix named Spock. My husband and I have a big backyard and both love animals. I look forward to meeting you and your pet:) I am a college student so just let me know what works for you and your pet and I’m sure I’ll be able to work my life around it:) I’ll treat your pet just like I treat my own. Spock gets along great with other animals but I would love the chance for them to meet before an animal just being dropped off at my house. Spock is allergic to chicken and has high anxiety so I know how important it is to give animals the proper care they need.

“Jennifer was amazing!! Her house was clean & she was so prepared and organized. She was communicative and very accommodating”
