Doggy Day Care in Smithville

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Hope! Booking last-minute was stressful, but she was so understanding and flexible with our schedule. Not only did she accommodate our late pick-up, but she also went above and beyond by sending us regular updates and adorable photos, which truly put our minds at ease. Her communication was exceptional, and it was clear that our dog was in the best hands. Whiskey came back happy and relaxed, and we couldn’t ask for more. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and flexible dog sitter!”

About: I have a deep love and special connection with animals of all kinds, that started with the dogs and cats of my childhood. I will make friends with your pets quickly, and always ensure their utmost happiness.I am keen on attention to details and perseverance in the face of challenges. I am currently picking up gig work while in between industries. I have reliable transportation and a very open schedule. I am available to work consistently in Bastrop, Travis, and Caldwell counties. I can do shorter term work in Bexar and Hays counties. I am happy to maintain the comfortable and perfect situation you already have set up for your pets. I am careful to follow all rules you have in place.

About: Hello there! My name is Sofía, and I can’t wait to care of your pet! Here are some things you should know about me : I have one dog living with me. I have volunteered at animal shelters, wildlife rescue facilities, and animal therapy organizations. When volunteering at shelters, I bathed dogs, cleaned up their poop, played with, and walked them as well as played with cats. Additionally, I enjoy outdoor activities very much, so I am definitely in shape to walk your dogs and play with them. I hope I can be of service to you and your dog(s). My backyard is unfenced, except for the patio area and a room sized square for dogs to pee/poop in. Dogs are not allowed on furniture, but they can be on the bed if they stay on top of the blanket. If you know your dog won’t run away, we can play in the unfenced area of the backyard :) I do have a 30 ft leash that I normally use to play with my dog outside. I am usually free before 4 pm on weekdays. I am recently graduated and looking for a job at the moment, so I stay at home all day. I will care for your pets however is needed and instructed. I have taken care of multiple senior dogs and dogs that take oral medication.

“Amanda is an amazing dog sitter that I highly, highly recommend. She is not only responsive, prompt and flexible, but she is also kind and loving. Truly authentic and has a heart of gold. My husky/german sheppard mix Ghost has not only been taken care of while at her house, but he has been truly loved and cared for. I can’t recommend Amanda enough for any pet service you may be looking for.”

About: I have pets all my life growing up and all my adult life. I really enjoy caring for the animals and dealt with many different personalities, temperaments and behaviors, especially for dogs. I also have experiences in training 5 dogs and rescuing dogs. For the love of connecting with the animals they warm up to me very quickly and I seem to always attract animals around me. I also have a companion dog my self that I rescued stray puppy who's been with me for over 10 years now. I'm also an energy healer and can also provide a healing touch for the animals that are stressed and suffer separation anxiety. It will be my great pleasure to provide fun and happy times for your pet and give full attention. I'm self-employed and usually works from home most of the time and have flexible schedules to care for pets including play times and walking times together. my roommate is a professional dog trainer and we have a big spacious homestead vibe house that we share that are kept clean and a dog safe environment. Your dog will have a very comfortable place to stay!

About: I grew up with pets and they’ve always been part of my life. I’ve had hamsters, mice, chickens, bunnies, ducks, birds, fish, turtles, guinea pigs and of course dogs and cats. I’m definitely a dog lover, and as an adult I have gained plenty of experience pet sitting and caring for dogs, specially small breeds. I cared for my older baby (Shih-Tzu) with medical needs for many years, and in the process learned a lot about dog care and how to tell when they aren’t feeling well or something is going on. I’ve cared for dogs of friends and family who have full confidence and trust that their babies will be loved, taken care of and even spoiled when they’re under my watch. I’m currently in the process of changing career paths, and have flexibility to do boarding, drop-in visits and house sitting on most weekends and potentially some week days. The house will be dog proofed. I’m aware of things dogs can eat that will make them sick or could be damaging for their health, so those foods/items will be unreachable for dogs. They will have a good sized backyard to go out for potty breaks and play. My community has very nice and safe walking trails for dogs that need walks. If/as requested dogs can be crated but they won’t be crated otherwise. I love cuddling with my dogs so I allow them on the bed and occasionally on living room furniture. They sleep on my bed unless requested to sleep in their own bed.

“I cannot say enough good things about Sara and Cole. Today was Ellie’s first day of daycare ever. She had a blast i received pictures, videos, and texts throughout the day. Nervous Mom and Dad were quickly put at ease when we saw how much fun Ellie was having and how much Sara was enjoying watching our our baby dog. Needless to say, Ellie will be a repeat visitor Thank you, Sara!”

“Jennifer and her family is nothing but wonderful. We fell in love with them right away. Not only is she so caring and obviously a dog lover, her entire family is extremely sweet and kind. They were very thorough and careful to introduce their two furry babies to Mick. Mick luuuuuuuuuved them both. He was having such a great time he didnt mind us leaving at all. He snuggled up to them which gave me such comfort to know he felt at home. I have never been so happy to find someone who truly treats our baby like their own. I am 10000% using their services again. I've already referred her to our friend. You will love her.”

About: Hi there, I'm Norm! My partner Stoney and I can't wait to meet you and your pets! We have been in the pet industry for over a decade and each have been around dogs and cats our whole lives. We also have experience with other pets and even livestock and Stoney loves horses and donkeys (he grew up with horses). We live on a 3 acre property in the Cedar Creek, TX area that is big and spacious and has a secure fenced in front yard and plenty of space to roam around and explore. We have dogs and cats of our own that can either meet your pet, or we have the space inside and out, that your pet can have their own space. We also built an outdoor dog wash, with hot and cold water, so we can bath your pet (additional rates may apply). Our service area is quite large as we both work in Austin, so we can usually make any Drop-In and House Sitting service work either in Austin, Cedar Creek, Bastrop or surrounding areas. Please note that we may charge a minimum rate on House Sittings where overnight stays are required) If you have any questions, please feel free to ask and check out our great reviews – we have lots of them and repeat clients and had over 500 5-star reviews on another service. We hope to provide you peace of mind while you are away from your pets, so that you can enjoy your time and be present in the moments. We both work full time outside of the home but have different schedules which works out great for our pet care services. Someone is home at our house, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and with our schedules, the longest our pets are left alone are 4-5 hours Wed - Friday. Our schedules also allow us some flexibility in our service times and can be adjusted to fit your needs! We live on a 3 acre property with a fenced in front yard and large covered front porch. Our fence is secure and we have doggy gates on each entrance to our porch, so your dog will be safe and secure. Our dogs love the big front yard, with plenty of places to run around, sniff and explore. If it gets too hot, there is plenty of shade around the yard and on the covered front porch. In our home, we have plenty of space to keep everyone happy and we can keep animals separated at all times if need be.

About: I have been around dogs for 41 years and taken care of them for over 36. I've also worked with and cared for cats, goats, horses, pigs, chickens and some other exotic animals here and there. I have experience in training dogs both on and off leash with e-collars. I also have a dog and indoor/outdoor cat and have trained them to get along and perform jobs.I I am a work from home entrepreneur with 1 acre who also works with a local farm on 20 acres, so there is always plenty of space and time to take care of animals. I have a half acre fenced yard with a standard 4' fence so as long as your doggo isn't tiny or able to jump fences they'll be able to stay outside longer if they like. Otherwise I can monitor them or walk them around the property. I have en elderly dog who may play with your dog(s) or who may keep to himself. I have an outdoor cat that takes care of snakes, bugs and rodents who also comes in the house sometimes. I have access to 1 or 2 small to medium crates, &/or if you prefer to provide a crate, I can crate your dog as well. If dogs are well trained and well behaved, I also have access to a 20 acre farm in the neighborhood so we can go there for exercise.
