Doggy Day Care Rutledge

“Katie did wonderful. I left my almost three month old pup with her for the day and she did fantastic. Kept me up to date on him as well. My boy is definitely tuckered out! Will definitely use her in the future.”

Matt M.

“Nikki was incredible! From the moment we booked she was very quick to communicate and answer our initial questions. The house was not only adorable but they had great areas for the pups to explore and gates to separate when needed. Our boy made himself right at home. Nikki provided lots of photos and videos throughout the stay. You can tell they genuinely love dogs and when I knew they’d had English bulldogs, I knew our EB puppy would be in great hands. Would absolutely use them again!”

Kathryn M.

“Winston had a wonderful day with his new friends James, his wife De and their dogs Charlee and Chloe. James did everything we could ask for and more to make Winston's stay a success. We received lots of photos throughout the day showing all the fun Winston was having. That allowed my wife and I to enjoy our day together knowing Winston was being well cared for. This was the first time we used Rover.com and it was a great experience. We will definitely be booking with James again.”

Tim M.

“I had the pleasure of having Valeria watch my fur baby, and she absolutely exceeded my expectations. She was dependable, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. My pup was well cared for, happy, and calm when I got back which tells me everything I need to know. Thank You again”

About: I have always had a soft spot in my heart for dogs. I have carried this love into adulthood and I enjoy having them in my life. When your four-legged family member is with us they will be treated as one of the family. They will be doted upon and they will be constantly engaged, touched, and talked to. We go for walks in our 1-acre fenced backyard, which facilitates safe rewarding exploration and discovery. We allow the visitors to play and interact with our loving and friendly standard poodles who are great role models to each other and to visiting pooches. Even though your baby will be on their doggie Vaca, We will still use every opportunity to encourage learning, good manners, and good behavior by giving treats and positive reinforcement throughout the day. Stability, engagement, routine, and structure makes a happy dog and we aim to make sure that every four-legged friend who lodges with us, is happy and never wants to leave. Our resident babies eat twice per day and are allowed out for potty breaks three times per day. If it is a rainy day we do indoor activities in our 35x40 temperature controlled dog suite and we even watch a little "Dog TV" We have a great time, rain or shine! Sleeping arrangements will depend on what your baby is comfortable with but we do not allow our pets on the furniture or in our beds (at least when daddy is around). We have kennels but we allow the dogs to sleep anywhere they want to in the dog suite. I am a retired nurse and I am always home so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for dogs in my day. We have a huge fenced in backyard where all the dogs enjoy their time outdoors. We also have plenty of equipment in the yard for their enjoyment.

“I'm so glad that I found Linda on Rover. She watched my puppy, Morris, on a Saturday afternoon, and he had such a good time! He came home so tired from playing all day, which was exactly what he needed. I highly recommend Linda and will be booking another stay soon.”

“Thank you so much, Amanda for taking care of my fur babies today. They are looking forward to coming back to your home soon, and we already have you booked for a second visit. I can tell my boys had a blast with you today.”

About: *Update: In regards to the new weekly feature, I can only do so in YOUR home. I am a cat person but I also love dogs. I'm an equal opportunist lol . I've taken care of cats, dogs, even hamsters, fish and plants for neighbors, friends, family and later on for clients through apps like these. I started taking care of pets at age 10 which was around the same time I got my cat, Allegra. I loved her like my own child. We would even take walks together. She lived a good 14 years but that of course was still too short for me. She was a family member to me, not just a cat. She was even kind to the random strays I would bring home and be forced to return lol. I also grew up with my dog Angel (pictured). She lived for 14 years too. Her last few years were rough and she was on a lot of medications. I have experience administering those. We had to put her down and that was such a hard decision. Another family member lost. I'm still proud that they both lived long lives. I've had other cats short term since then. I adopted a black cat, Maleficent Marie, in February 2023 and shes my new fur baby. I started using Rover in 2018 when it first started but deactivated because I lived in areas that didn't use the app at all. I can't wait to meet your pet and I'll make them a priority like they're family! I'm currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to drop in or even stay with your furry family members. My home is not open to animals at the moment and I can sincerely vouch that I will treat your home respectfully like mine or anyone else's. I'm also fully vaccinated and take Covid seriously. I don't mind wearing a mask for long hours or at all and will abide by any covid restrictions you personally have. My goal is to build a trusting relationship and to have more repeat clientele!

“Took me and my baby as a last minute add on for daycare and we've been back every day since! So much space for my dog to run around and she comes home ready to sleep every single time! Patti and Matt are awesome. Everyone should book here for daycare or boarding because they'll take great care of your fur babies like they're their own.”

“Taylor was great with our puppy! She was accommodating (woke up super early and even washed her bed! etc) watching our puppy. She kept us updated with how our puppy was doing and sent us photos!”

Vivien N.

“Myeshia took great care of my precious pup--I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

Ben P.

“Angela is very responsive, sends plenty of updates during your dog's stay, and made our pup feel right at home! Plus she has an encyclopedic knowledge of all things canine. She was even able to accommodate a *very* last minute schedule change with no issues. I would absolutely recommend her for any of your doggy related needs!”

About: I had a dog most of my childhood and when my daughter was younger. I’ve had a dog in my house when my daughter moved back. I’m available 7 days a week currently. We take walks three times a day. A cage is not necessary but is recommended in case their first night in new surroundings is hard. Doggy beds are a must and poop bags also. We try to keep a clean neighborhood. Very safe neighborhood and walking trails nearby. No stray animals or loose pets to worry about. We do not take walks after dark. If you bring a cage, you pet will not be locked inside I do have a spare room for your pet to occupy if I need to step out.

About: Looking for a loving, attentive, caregiver to go above and beyond caring for your furry best friend while you are away? I’m retired with a lifetime of love and experience with dogs in show rings, obedience trials, agility and therapy work. I especially enjoy senior pups, shy pups, spoiled Divas, and overly sensitive or anxious fur babies under 20 lbs. My home is completely set up for your dog’s comfort and safety with 24/7 attention, peaceful stress-free environment, and activities specialized to their preferences. The number of pups is limited and I only take pups under 20 lbs over 1 year old for their safety and enjoyment. Your pup’s routines and schedules are maintained as you would care for them at home so they enjoy being here, eating and sleeping well. My “assistant” resident older dogs, Dunkin and Delilah, love sharing their pup-centered home, toys, treats and large, secure, fenced yard. Our home is near Ola (Keys Ferry Rd area) between McDonough and Jackson, and your pup will verify the attention and love is worth a few more minutes drive if you’re farther away. Your precious babies will enjoy the same daily care, routines and activities at my loving home they have in yours including mealtimes, pampering, daily brushing and teeth care. They can run and play in the large securely fenced yard, chill with me on the covered deck, snuggle on the couch, play in the ball pit, search the snuffle mat and even sleep in the bed. Best of all there are no concrete cages, kennel stress, lonely nights, chaos or contagions. Let’s schedule a free meet n greet in advance so you’ll have peace of mind booking your pup’s best home away from home. I’m a stay at home retiree so all my attention will be focused on your precious pup. I only care for small dogs under 20 lbs for their enjoyment and safety as well as your peace of mind. You will receive daily photos/videos and are welcome to call any time. Drop off/pick up times are flexible with no extra charges between 7 am to 8 pm. I will keep your potty training schedules (pads or outside) and can refresh some basics and socialization if needed. I do not offer professional grooming, but can do nails and bathe for an additional charge. My home is super pet friendly, safe and comfortable and pets are with me 24/7 (not in kennels, closed rooms, and never never left in the yard alone). I will pen or crate in full view only if needed due to persistent destructive chewing, aggression, sleeping or potty training issues, but prefer your dog be as free as if they were home with you and I will let you know if this is necessary. All dogs must be over 1 year old and under 20 lbs. Male dogs must be neutered. I can sometimes accommodate unspayed females and, with special circumstances and agreements, females in heat. Be sure to honestly evaluate your pup and let me know if issues such as toy aggression, housebreaking, digestion upsets, allergies, separation anxiety, etc. so I know how to best care for your pup and keep everyone safe and happy.

“Luciana has watched Tucker weekly for the last few months. He has loved going over there, and you can tell she really cares about the animals she is caring for!”

About: I’m a retired wildlife biologist with lots of time and interest in taking care of animals. I’ve had dogs and indoor (mostly) cats most of my life and thus I’m fully used to scooping poo, sweeping up kitty litter, etc. You will not return to a minefield in the yard or a messy litter box I’m retired and thus available often. You can count on me to spend quality time with your pets, not just feed and go. I look forward to meeting them I like animals more than most people, haha, and will care for them with great focus. Your pets will be my buddies and we’ll have a safe and fun time together. I do not have a fence but my house is in the middle of a 113 acre mostly wooded property I own.

About: I provide loving, reliable care with experience in puppies, seniors, and special needs. Daily updates, playtime, cuddles, and attention to your pet’s unique needs always! Pet care fits naturally into my day because I’m fully flexible and ready to adapt to your pet’s routine. I’m reliable, active, and serious about giving every animal the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it's a long walk, some training, or just hanging out, I'm all in. When pets stay with me, they’re treated like part of the family. I make sure they have a safe, clean space to relax, plenty of playtime, regular walks, and lots of attention. I stick closely to their normal routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I’m respectful of their space and follow your instructions exactly — whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or extra playtime. I’m reliable, alert, and make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve cared for dogs, bearded dragons, baby chicks & bunnies. I’m flexible when care for your pet is needed. I’ll go above & beyond for your pet. I currently work a remote part time job so I have enough time to walk and play with your baby. I love daily walks at the park. I have a fenced yard, if you have a crate my home is big enough to store this as well. I have an 8yr old daughter who loves pet sitting, she’s a future veterinarian. We enjoying walking and biking as well.

“Karen and her family are amazing! Lola felt so comfortable there, and they treated her just like their own. She has a large, fenced yard where Lola could run and chase the ball around and was also able to sit on the bed and enjoy snuggles and belly rubs! She kept us updated on Lola and how her day was going and sent lots of pictures! I HIGHLY recommend Karen for your pet sitter/daycare needs! Her family and home are so organized and equipped to provide care for dog(s). I cannot say enough about Karen and her family! Lola will definitely be back to visit and have play dates.”
