Doggy Day Care in Royal

“Thank you, Sarah, for your special care with our senior baby, Charlie! It looks like he got very comfortable very quickly. I’m glad he made a friend with your little toddler! The photo updates were very helpful and cute!”

“Oreo had a wonderful stay at Melana’s. She was also able to take Oreo in such a short notice (2 hours)! She sent a lot of updates even though Oreo’s stay wasn’t very long, which I appreciate very much! Oreo had a lot of fun playing with her dogs and running in a spacious backyard. Thank you Melana for taking care of Oreo!”

“Tiffany was great. She was flexible with drop off and pick up times when our plans changed at the last second. She gave multiple updates with pictures and videos. Very responsive as well throughout the process. I can tell that she really cares about animals and giving peace of mind to owners. Our dog Luna had a great time with her. Definitely will be booking again when we're back in town!”

“This was an excellent experience for both Cosmo and Bailey! And me! Bailey is a puppy mill mama rescue and I’ve never left her with someone who she didn’t know before. Brittney was amazingly sweet and welcomed her with open arms. And Bailey responded well!! Cosmo had the time of his life playing with Brittney’s family and dog, Zoe. I can’t say enough positive things to describe yesterday!! I appreciated all the texts and pictures Brittney sent. It rally helped me relax and have a fun day at the racetrack. Thank you so much, Brittney and family!!!”

“My senior dog was treated so well and I felt very comfortable leaving her with Tess and Shawn. It was my first time using Rover and it was a very positive experience.”

About: Hi! I’m Loretta — lifelong dog lover, proud rescue pup mom, and your pet’s new favorite human. 🐶💛 My kids and I share our home with our sweet rescue, Lucy, who’s friendly, playful, and always up for a game of zoomies or a neighborhood stroll. I know how busy life gets — work, school, travel — and I’m here to make sure your furry family member gets the care, love, and attention they deserve while you’re away. Services I offer: 🐕 Drop-in visits for potty breaks, playtime, and snuggles 🚶 Long or short walks to match your dog’s energy level 🏡 Dog sitting with plenty of love and belly rubs 🎾 Playdates with Lucy for social, dog-friendly pups Whether you have an energetic pup who needs a good romp or a senior dog who just wants gentle company, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Expect lots of tail wags, happy photos, and total peace of mind. 📩 Let’s set up a meet-and-greet — your pup will thank you! 🐾 work night shift three nights a week, which means I’m available most days for drop-in visits, walks, or midday playtime. I can also care for your pup while you’re away at work, making sure they get the exercise, company, and love they need. At home, I have a fenced backyard with plenty of space to run, plus a small doggie pool for cooling off on hot days. Inside, my pet-friendly setup is perfect for lounging on the couch or gazing out the window to “monitor” the neighborhood. On the evenings I’m not working, I’m available for evening visits and will give your furry friends the best care and attention possible. I love being outdoors — we can stay active with trips to the park, long walks, or a good game of fetch in the yard. While my own dog, Lucy, is very social and loves to play, I also happily accommodate dogs who are shy or prefer quiet one-on-one time. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for safe roaming and play. In our home, we believe our space is our pup’s space — they’re welcome to snuggle where we snuggle. We can enjoy walks around the neighborhood, play ball in the yard, take trips to the park, or simply relax together. My dog, Lucy, is friendly and sociable, and can be a wonderful playmate for dogs who enjoy socializing. If your pup prefers alone time, I can easily accommodate that as well. All dogs are welcome to sleep wherever they’re most comfortable — whether that’s curled up with the family, on their own bed, or in a kennel. Your dog’s comfort and safety always come first.

“Aaron has great costumer service and communication skills. He made everything easy and I felt safe leaving my dog with him. He sent lots of pictures and cared for my dog’s every need. He was very gracious and understanding and I would recommend him for any of your dog sitting needs! Great experience. Highly recommend!”

“Heidi was friendly and very accommodating, I am so grateful she was able to fulfill our last minute request!”

“Darlene took excellent care of our dog while we were in town for the day visiting Hot Springs National Park. She sent me pictures of him throughout the day which was super nice. Sparky was very happy when we picked him up and I could tell he had felt at home. We highly recommend Darlene as you can tell she loves dogs. Big plus: Darlene has a super sweet dog named Bailey :)”

About: My wife and I would like to open our home for your special doggy (or doggies). We absolutely love animals and have worked with some rather difficult breeds and individuals, and are confident in the level of comfort, love, and success each animal would have with us. Any and all breeds welcome! :) I am open to negotiating all prices for extended stays, to an extent! We offer dog sitting, bathing, walking, and any other activity you may want your pet to experience! I work from home and my wife stays with me, caring for our chickens and our home. I spend a couple of hours a day with our chickens and hope to get some more animals soon. We have a very large yard. It is currently not fenced. However, there are many parks and walking spots we take my in-laws' dogs to.

About: I’ve worked in a vets office and I'm incredibly experienced with many types of animals including reptiles, fish, dogs, cats, and much more. Dog walking was my first job and since then I have done a lot of house/animal sitting. I also have experience with administering medication. I've done both shots and pills for dogs. **I can provide post op care with many types of procedures** I work weekdays with the flexibility to come home to medicate and check on animals. My fiancé is also a veterinary technician who works from home and is available at all times to provide care to your baby! I only accept one client in my home at a time. Safety is my top priority, for pets and humans. Since I have a cat, I can only accept friendly pets at this time in my home. I have the education and experience to provide a safe and happy environment for your animals. As a medical professional I can respond to emergencies if they arise.
