Doggy Day Care in Smithville

“Hope provides A+++ service, care and compassion for my big guy Ghost a 115lb 2.5 year-old German Shepard/Husky mix. As my regularly scheduled doggy daycare sitter, I would describe Hope as incredibly caring, attentive, responsive, and fair. She makes me as a dog owner as well as my dog Ghost incredibly comfortable. Since attending regularly scheduled doggy daycare with her on the days I work my shifts (I’m nurse, RN), Ghost’s overall state of mind and resulting behavior has dramatically improved overall. When he comes home after his stay with Hope, he is dramatically more calm, content and relaxed. Improvements in behavior, mood, and overall well-being which I attribute to the care Hope provides for my dog. All in all, I can’t be more thankful to have found Hope to take care of my dog and best friend.”

About: Along with two childhood dogs, a maltese and a german shepherd, I have had cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and birds. I worked and trained for 4 months at an animal hospital, from boarding to after surgery care. I’m currently a Stay-At-Home mom with two young children, we have lots of time and love to give your pet! We love animals so much! With a fenced in large backyard we can give your pet some fresh air and outdoor playtime, as well as a cozy area indoors for relaxing. Crates are welcome.

“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: With over 10 years of pet care experience, I haven't just grown up with dogs and cats; I also have a Labrador of my own. I go beyond the basics – outdoor walks, running sessions, ball games for dogs, and interactive "mouse" chasing for cats. When permitted, I provide nutritious homemade meals for that extra tender loving care. Offering a personalized touch, I ensure furry friends receive love, attention, and ample playtime. Sharing joyful moments through pictures with the owners, I keep pet parents reassured and their pets content. Your fur babies are in caring hands! I currently work from home, providing me with a highly flexible schedule. I am available for pet care during early mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I am also available overnight for the most part. For the house sitting service, I create a safe and trustworthy environment as a pet sitter. My two-story house, coupled with a spacious backyard, ensures ample space for pets. There are also nearby walking sites in the neighborhood. My Labrador, Kano, is sociable and enjoys the company of small dogs in my home. Your pets will feel comfortable and welcomed in this pet-friendly space.

“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!”

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: Making your pet feel comfortable and close to its owner is my greatest skill Your pet will never feel alone and will enjoy the time they spend with me. I currently live with two dogs that I feed and take for walks. All my life I have lived with animals since my mother is a veterinary doctor. I like to clean the space where they are, try to observe their daily needs and support them so that they feel comfortable and safe.

“I had never used Rover before but, everyone was very friendly and inviting ! I was so grateful for the pictures and updates ! I will definitely be booking again!”

I have friends, family and coworkers who have relied on me to care for their family pets when they’ve gone out of town or in the process of moving, etc. I also have been volunteering at the local shelter fostering kittens and some puppies for about 3 years. I’m detail oriented, very loving and eager to care for your fur babies ! I currently am a stay at home mom and wife. I have lots of flexibility and a desire to care for your animals. Mostly free mornings and evenings for check ins but can do mid day check ins as well if schedule aligns. I have reliable transportation to get to and from check-ins and overnights. I also am comfortable providing medication on as needed basis. I will treat them as my own !
