Doggy Day Care Smithville

About: With a lifetime of dog care experience, I specialize in puppies, seniors, high-energy breeds, and beagles—providing compassionate, reliable care tailored to each dog's individual needs. I'm a teacher with summers off, offering dependable, loving dog care all day—perfect for puppies, seniors, and energetic pups needing extra loving attention and time. As a teacher available this summer, I provide in-home dog care and walking—attentive, reliable service for puppies, seniors, and energetic dogs of all wonderful kinds.

About: My husband Tim and I both grew up in households where our cats and dogs were treated as part of the family. Our neighbors, friends, and family members trust that we are a phone call away to either go to their homes to feed and take their dogs on walks or to have them stay with us overnight. We have experience with training puppies, caring for older dogs with special needs, and taking care of animals with allergies and special dietary needs. We want to extend our home and hearts to your beloved pets and use our personal experience to ensure they feel secure and loved in your absence. We can provide daily exercise, administer medication, and even help with potty training. We are always available to receive calls and texts when you are away, and we will update you as often as you would like so you can see what your pet is up to throughout the day and enjoy your time away from your furbaby without worrying that they aren't receiving the attention and love they deserve. We are home full-time (Lisa works from home and Tim is retired) and are available for all your pet's wants and needs. We live in a clean, stress-free, spacious home in a quiet neighborhood with our two teenage kids, dog Griffin, and cat Monk.

“Archie usually takes awhile to warm up to people and can be kind of stand offish until then. However he IMMEDIATELY took to Patricia and her husband, letting them pet his face and going up to them for cuddles. I've never seen him do that before! He loved them right away and they were great! Will def book again”

“Absolutely love Michael! I trust him 1000000% with my fur baby. Bella is my first dog I've had since living on my own and she is my world. I was so nervous at first and Micheal completely understood, and even let us meet him b4 I left Bella for the day with him. I work very early in the morning, and Michael always greets us with a smile.He is always sending me pictures of her happily playing. Bella was nervous the first day or two but now she wags and runs to him! I would definitely recommend Micheal to anyone!”

About: I've proudly been working with dogs for the past 12 years! House/pet sitting since 2023 for friends and family and as my full time job since May 2025. Prior to May I was a facility manager of a local daycare/boarding facility for almost 7 years. I was responsible for the safety and well being of 30-100 dogs everyday. Prior to that I worked at a vets office for 1 & 1/2 years and before that, a Luxury Pet Hotel for 3 & 1/2 years. I have cared for 1000's of dogs, all sizes, ages and breeds. I posses a wide array of skills and knowledge, ensuring all pets are safe and comfortable. I have managed large play groups, broken up altercations, cleaned wounds and given many forms of medications. I have also cared for senior dogs, injured dogs, and sick dogs. There is not much I haven't experienced over the years. I have also owned 4 dogs of my own as an adult, I currently have 2 fur babies! Pet sitting and dog walking is my full time job. I may have to walk a few dogs here and there but my schedule is flexible. I will always ensure your dog is well cared for, going outside in a timely manner and properly exercised. I have open availability and will try my best to accommodate your requests if your pet is a good fit for my pack! I have an acre of land with a fenced in dog area. All dogs are supervised while outside and I can split play time or walks as needed. I love to take pack walks in the woods/trails and explore local parks if your okay with that! If not that's okay too, we can play fetch, indoor games and cuddle! I can crate your dog while I'm not home, or for bed time if needed. My 2 dogs Nigel and Sage are friendly and ready to play or chill with new friends. If I come to your home I can care for your pet anyway you choose, trying to keep their routine as similar to there day to day.

“Andrew was great with my pup! He communicated and took photos playing with his puppies. My dog was well taken care of and I will go back to Andrew when needed”

“Jada had been wonderful, accommodating, and flexible with my work schedule. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs their dog to live their best life while away.”

About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats! Dogs that are more trained and have troubles with eating during given dinner hours! I have lots of experience with shy cats and anxious dogs, given my cat has been very shy towards others, and my dog is incredibly anxious! While I do have more experience with cats, I am as much of a dog lover as I am a cat lover! Currently also trying to look for a part time job, but my schedule is all around free besides on super early mornings, weekdays are fair game for me as of right now! Same with some weekends if given prior notices! I will follow any given guidelines and rules to anyone I will be having my services given to! I am a very clean person, especially with animals! I will follow any given diets or routines with what ever critter you may have in store for me!

About: I’ve had dogs before, so I’m comfortable managing and caring for them daily. I also grew up around about 16 dogs, which helped me develop patience, confidence, and the ability to handle different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I understand routines like feeding, walks, supervision, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. During the school year, I’m available before and after school. I leave for school in the morning and return around 2:40 PM, so I’m dependable for afternoon, evening, and weekend care. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm environment for every pet in my care. I follow owner instructions carefully, keep pets supervised, and pay close attention to their behavior and comfort.

“Great Care! Marci was fantastic and she even made my dog a personalized Bandana. My dog was well cared for and got enough exercise in her yard she slept the whole way home. Highly Recommend!”

“Lisa is very responsive and reliable. I am glad I found her on Rover. She did a great job of watching Blaze as while I took my grandkids to Storybook Land.”

About: Caring for dogs and cats fills my heart with joy. I believe every animal is unique and deserves extra love, support, and attention — especially when their humans can’t be there. I take pride in offering attentive, personalized care for every dog and cat I watch. As someone who works part-time from home, I’m able to offer full-time attention and care to your beloved pet. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and loved. In my home, your dog will receive 3–4 walks a day (more if needed). We’ll also enjoy playtime in the backyard on-leash, and on nice days, we can head down to the beach for some fresh air and fun! In your home, I’m available for daily dog walks or twice-daily visits to feed and care for your cat. During each visit, I’ll spend quality time with your pets — whether that’s belly rubs, playtime, or just keeping them company so they feel safe and loved while you're away.

“Lisa was great! Super flexible with my schedule and took great care of my dog. Will definitely use her again.”

About: I have cared for pets for over 20 years in a variety of settings. My own pets, as well as friends, family members, and neighbors. I have also been previously employed by a professional dog walking company, which I remained with for two years. My responsibilities included walking the dogs, taking them to the park, feeding, and staying overnight in many cases while owners were away. I would also care for cats, rabbits, and other animals. I have experience with medication administration, such as eyedrops and pills. I love animals and I have a very calm, nurturing disposition. Safety and snuggles are my two priorities! I work full time from my home on a flexible schedule. I have the ability to provide a ton of attention for your pet if they are here with me. I am also able to easily stay in others homes due to my job. It's incredibly important to me to make sure that your pet feels safe, loved and cared for. Pets are like family, and I know how hard it is to leave them sometimes, especially with a new person. I have a two story home and they are free to roam around as they please, lay on the couch, sit out on the deck (weather permitting). If I am at your home, I follow your care instructions very carefully and I am respectful your space. I have an 8 year old standard goldendoodle who is very friendly. However, if your dog may not get along with another dog, I am able to take mine to his grandpa's house to watch him so I can prioritize yours.

“My dog Link had a wonderful stay! He's young and a little anxious, but Kateri made him feel comfortable and gave him so much love that he was able to have so much fun! She'll take great care of your pet and is attentive to all their needs!”

Joey L.

“I cannot thank you enough for providing such kind, gentle, and attentive care to our puppy while we were away. Puppies can be a handful, but you made her feel right at home with lots of treats (including your own!), plenty of playtime, and a large dose of patience and understanding. Your extensive experience working with dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments really showed. She was so relaxed and happy when we returned. Thank you also for sending frequent (hourly!) updates with photos. We felt completely at ease while she was in your care. We would be thrilled to work with you again and enthusiastically recommend you to others.”
