Doggy Day Care in Scottsville

“Gigi was amazing! She took such great care of my dog ice cream while I was away. My dog ice cream warmed up to her right away. She sent regular updates and cute photos which gave me so much peace in mind. My dog came back happy and relaxed, she almost didn’t want to leave!”

About: What sets me apart is my patience, empathy, and special skills with both young puppies and senior dogs. I have experience with training basic puppy manners, as well as caring for older pets who may need medication, slower walks, or extra comfort. I also provide consistent updates so you always know how your pet is doing. As a Deaf sitter, I bring an extra sense of visual awareness and attentiveness - pets often respond really well to body language and calm energy, which makes our bond even stronger. Families I’ve worked with appreciate my reliability, safety focus, and genuine love for their pets Pet care is a fundamental part of my daily and weekly routine. I ensure I take them for potty breaks 4-6 times a day. I feed them and engage in outdoor play sessions 2-3 times daily, providing both exercise and companionship. I live in an apartment with ample living room space and have access to an outdoor backyard that includes forest hiking trails and a mini dog park. Whether in my home or my client's, I ensure pets have plenty of space for comfort and play. I provide a safe and engaging environment, tailored to their needs, ensuring they feel at home and well-cared for.

“Alex and Bayern were both amazing hosts. We were in town for a wedding and didn’t want to leave Ziggy by himself. They took really great care of Ziggy and made him (and us) feel at home. We would highly recommend them and we’ll always return to them whenever we’re back in town. Thank you being such amazing hosts and taking care of Ziggy!”

“My pup had surgery, and I was a bit nervous about leaving her with a new caretaker. Daniel and his family allayed all those fears. I have since continued to take her there because she wags her tail when we get close to the door! I know she's in a caring and fun environment--not to mention a great big back yard for her to run around in!”

Christine R.

“Very satisfied with Barbara’s care of our senior Yorkie. Barbara was quick to respond to messages and she followed some pretty detailed instructions to the letter. And she sent several pictures during the day.”

About: ’ve grown up surrounded by both cats and dogs, and I’ve always loved caring for them. I helped my grandma with her dog-grooming business, which gave me hands-on experience with many different breeds and temperaments. I also have a dog of my own and help care for my roommate’s dog, so daily walks, playtime, and routines are second nature to me. Whether it’s a fun walk or a quick drop-in for some love and attention, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and cared for! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, so I’m available for drop-ins or daycare at my house on those days. Tuesdays through Thursdays, I can do evening drop-ins, and I’m fully available on weekends. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some company, or just a little extra love, I’m here to help! I have a fenced-in backyard and two friendly doodles who are both up to date on their vaccines if you’re interested in bringing your dog to my home. If I’m coming to your home instead, I just ask that you share any quirks your dog may have on walks or around other dogs so I can be fully prepared and give them the best care possible.

About: I have had dogs for 20+ years. My dogs are free to roam everywhere in our home. I take daily walks and have a large back yard to run around in. During the day, I will have ample time to engage in walks, provide nourishment, and offer affection to your pet. I usually walk Bailee each morning and would be delighted if your furry companion could join us. Bailee consumes meals each morning and evening and indulges in a few treats throughout the day. The backyard is spacious and provides an ideal environment for your furry companion to engage in play and socialize. Should your pet require additional space, there is ample room to accommodate their needs. I am fortunate to have three energetic cats and a lovable chocolate lab. The neighborhood is quiet and I reside on a dead-end street.

About: I cared for my dog for 11 years until she passed, and now I wish to make other dogs happy and safe. Will take care of your dog as if it were my own. I would be available as needed basis. I do have a friend who would help during the day if I have to do contract work. I would give them the attention they deserve to make them not feel lonely. Try to keep their mind active from thinking they were abandoned.

About: With over 15 years of professional animal care experience, I take pride in providing both pets and their owners with peace of mind. My background includes daycare, boarding, grooming, training, and nationwide animal transport, giving me a well-rounded understanding of how to keep animals safe, comfortable, and stress-free in any situation. I’m USDA registered, fully insured, and certified in Pet CPR & First Aid. I also maintain 24/7 access to a trusted veterinarian, so every pet in my care is protected no matter where the road takes us. When you trust me with your pets, you can expect reliable, compassionate care from someone who treats every animal as if they were their own—backed by experience, training, and a true love for what I do. Pet care isn’t just a job for me—it’s woven into my entire routine. My mornings usually start early with feeding, walking, and checking in on the dogs and cats in my care. I make sure everyone gets exercise, enrichment, and the attention they need to start the day off right. Throughout the day, I balance hands-on care with managing schedules, transportation needs, and communication with pet parents. Whether it’s supervising playtime, cleaning up, or ensuring animals are safe and comfortable, each task connects back to keeping pets healthy and stress-free. Because I’m USDA registered, Pet CPR & First Aid certified, and have access to a veterinarian 24/7 through Vetster, safety checks are second nature to me. I regularly assess crates, collars, harnesses, and the environment to make sure everything meets the highest standards. Evenings usually wrap up with closing routines—final feedings, potty time, and settling animals in for the night. I also take time to provide updates to families, sharing pictures or quick notes so they know their pets are happy and well cared for. In short, my daily routine is centered on animals’ well-being. Every hour, whether it’s playtime, training time, or quiet rest, is structured around giving pets the best possible experience while they’re with me. At our place, your pets can enjoy supervised playtime in a secure, 6-foot fenced yard with plenty of toys to keep them entertained. We make sure every pet has access to healthy ( parent approved) snacks, cozy nap times, and the option to make new dog & cat friends if they’re interested. Our focus is always on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment where your pets feel right at home. Whether they’re here for play, relaxation, or companionship, you can rest easy knowing they’re in caring hands. 🐾✨

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and providing any medical needs. I grew up with pugs since my parents ran a "pug farm". I can manage with pregnant dogs and helping giving birth. I know how to train puppies and care for senior dogs. I have a dog stroller for those who are unable to walk but can go outside and feel the fresh air. I am available as a full time. I like to work during the weekdays. I do go to the gym 3-5 times during the early evening, but always can move my gym schedules around. I live in a house that is in a community, which makes walking safe in the neighborhood. I do have a decent/small/fenced yard. I can take your fur-baby to the dog park. The house has no carpet, which is a plus! I currently have one male pug who is 11 and very lay back and a big baby. He does fine with other dogs. The other two were adopted and playful.

“Alison watched Bennie for a full day and Bennie seemed to love it! We got picture of him at the end of the day and he was good and tired when I picked him up. Would recommend!”

Daniel T.

“We have left our blue heeler with Heather multiple times. Heather responds promptly and is always very welcoming. She is definitely one of our most reliable sitters for daycare or boarding :-).”

Noelani P.

“Jill was wonderful - she accepted my last minute request and took great care of my pup. I totally recommend her and would have her watch my dog again in a heartbeat.”

Rick F.

“We booked a trial daycare before our boarding to make sure it was a good fit for everyone and it went great! Please see my full review about how much fun Sal had while staying over for boarding. Thanks again!”

About: I’ve taken care of variety of animals aside from cats/dogs including…birds, small mammals (mice, hamsters, rabbits), reptiles (lizards, turtles), fish, and more since I was about 10. I’ve handled them, feed them, and provided all necessary hygienic care. I have experience administering oral medication to animals. I also have experience providing injections to a diabetic cat. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I'm available on weekends anytime, and weekdays after 5pm. So please contact me if it’s a good fit! I would prefer to care for your pet in the comfort and familiarity of your home or my apt either. I love to hang out and play, give lots of love and attention, go for nice long walks, and even go on adventures to the dog park to socialize if they’re down for it! I don’t mind providing baths or basic grooming, cleaning messes or litter boxes, or anything else your pet/home or my apt may need.

About: I started walking my next door neighbor’s Boston Terrier when I was around 10. She knew I was an animal lover, and even let me experiment with some training with her pup. This led to me getting into agility training and just general dog training, which I have started to pick back up again. I am known as the family dog sitter, as my family has a combination of Pit Bulls, Bernedoodles, and hunting breeds, so I’ve worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes and stubbornness! Aside from dogs, I grew up volunteering at shelters where I adopted my own cat when I was 15, and eventually even landed a job as a zookeeper! As far as my own pets go, I currently keep it to my cat, fish and my wonderful Bearded Dragon, Albus. From my own pets, work experience, and love of training, I really have worked with everything from lizards to rodents to dogs to elephants! One consistency throughout my experience is my love for animals, and my passion to improve the quality of their life! Specific skills: - Puppy/Adult dog training - Hoofstock care and training (goats, horses, exotics) - Reptile care I currently work from home, so I have the availability to work from wherever I need to. This also gives me the option to walk/train during my breaks. I have weekend availability as needed as well. I am able to stay over at a pet owner’s home if needed, however I prefer to host pets in my own home whenever possible. I currently have a 1 year old mixed breed who absolutely LOVES having the company! As always, your pet’s safety is my number one concern. I am trained in identifying and understanding animal behavior and will not put your animal in a position where they do not feel safe. I am also a huge advocate for leash laws and ADA regulations protecting service dogs, so these will always be respected and enforced in my care. I am a huge advocate for animal enrichment, working as a zookeeper in the past taught me how important mental stimulation is for an animal, and how when paired with proper exercise can mitigate behavioral issues in pets. This is something I would love to bring to the table for my clients!

About: I have guinea pigs, cats, dogs, and chickens. I have also had a bearded dragon and rabbits. I am very used to caring for many types of animals and love them all. Have experience with all different ages and many different needs for each pet. They’re our family ! I was a teacher for 12 years in elementary school. After our 3rd child was born i decided to stay home to take care of our children and our pets full time. I am very flexible with my schedule and our pets love visitors - animals and humans !! I have a fully fenced in backyard and three very friendly dogs and three very friendly children :) We are all animal lovers. I am home during the days and when school starts, I am the only one home so it’s nice and quiet. We live in a great area for dog walks and are close to many parks for hikes too.
