Doggy Day Care Southport

About: We own one dog and had two dogs before that. Dogs feel comfortable and loved here. No matter if short or long stays and big or small, old or young dog - there's always room and fun to be had. My husband and I grew up with dogs and can't be without. We have toys and some treats but individual dog-approved is always better. When boarding a dog over a time period that requires feeding I expect food to be provided. While I take any dog and treat it like my own I need to know in advance if there are medical or behavioral issues. I'm a stay-at-home mom of four little ones (10-2yo) We get up early every morning and go to bed rather late. I have a fenced yard, a super friendly dog and my kids grew up with dogs so know how to treat/ not treat dogs. I can also separate dogs if needed. Dogs are always loosely supervised. I am a stay-at-home mom, homeschooling 3 out of 4 kids and so am extremely flexible to all needs of your fur baby. My yard is fenced in for drop-offs that enjoy outside and we have a separate room if a dog requires a calmer environment than the business of a bigger family. I grew up with various dogs and sized dogs. I know how to handle most tempers that are not aggressive. I understand every dog has its own personality and timeline. We have two cars so I am available to drive out for drop-ins and walking.

“Took great care of Caz. Super responsive, gave many updates and I felt really comfortable leaving him with her. Thank you again for everything!”

“Ashley was amazing! Henry came back worn out after playing in the yard all day, and I got a few tips on raising a puppy too :) She definitely goes above & beyond, as well as sending updates through the day so I wasn’t ever stressed. Henry & I would very highly recommend!!”

About: I’m available 24/7, I have several years of experience with animals, I’ve been around them my whole life. I’ve rescued several dogs. All of differen breeds. I’m open to any size or weight. I’m also open to any breed. I have two French bulldogs myself and I love them to death. They are my babies. I’m open any hours of the day and have a flexible schedule to fit you and your dogs needs. Looking forward to getting to meet new pups and spoil them. I am very experienced in bulldogs. English bulldogs to be specific. I am aware that they cannot be outside for very long in the heat because they get hot easy. I think I would be a great fit for your dogs! I’m a full time hair stylist but only live a few minutes away from work so i’m able to come home every couple hours to let the dogs out! I also have a dog that had back surgery so he requires extra care! I’m home every couple hours daily. I have a fenced yard and extra crates if needed! My house is set up to be separated if your animals prefers some alone time. I have tons of toys and treats for your babies as well!

“I feel so blessed to have found such a wonderful sitter for my fur babies! It's great to know I can relax while away from home knowing they are safe and well cared for. 😊”

About: I’ve cared for and have loved animals of all sizes and kinds since I can remember. I grew up taking care of 20+ horses on a farm and always having multiple dogs. I spent over 2 years working at a dog boarding & day care facility and believe I have allot of experience with fur babies of all kinds and find so much joy in caring for them! I'm a stay at home mama and work evenings at a day care 4-8pm 4 days a week. I can be available for as many let outs and cuddles your pup may need! Any schedule you have for your fur baby I would be more than happy to implement so your pup can feel most at home! If possible, drop off/pick up times would preferably be before 3PM or after 8PM Monday-Thursday and anytime Friday-Sunday. I’m an animal lover and would love to take care of your pup! I have a large fenced yard and a sweet female cockapoodle named Sophia! She loves other pups and doesn't meet a stranger! We would love to welcome your fur baby to stay with us wether it’s for the day or the night!

“Ashton took great care of my shy little doodle on short notice! Her kids are very sweet and you can tell they all love animals. I will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Aaron is amazing!! Our girls loved being with him and his family. He went above and beyond by providing super detailed info about their walk breaks and if they peeped or pooped. But the absolute BEST part was his super artistic photos of the girls!!! Works of art!!”

Meghan N.

“Brad took wonderful care of our baby when we went out of town. He sent us daily pictures and videos so we could see her having fun. Highly recommend!”

Hailey P.

“Jessie was a true godsend. This was my first time ever using Rover.com, so I was a little unsure at first. The moment I reached out to her, she responded right away, and we quickly coordinated schedules. Lucky was able to start daycare the very next day. She was wonderful with him, and I could tell he was safe and comfortable in her care. I was able to relax and truly enjoy my vacation knowing my sweet boy was happy. If I’m ever back in Panama City Beach, Florida, I will absolutely reach out to Jessie again. Highly recommend!”

Rita H.

“Amberly took my dog in super last minute when my other sitter wasn’t answering and my dog had so much fun. Very sweet and worth the slightly longer drive in my opinion”

Oona F.

“I recommend trusting this family with your pup!!! I dropped my 4mo puppy off for a few hours and right away she made herself at home!!”

About: I grew up in a family that deeply loves and respects all living beings and I carry this love in my heart to care and protect those that need it most. Since being a child I’m familiar with taking care of dogs, cats, birds and critters such as rats and hamsters and more. I’m familiar with big and small, young and old, heathy and those that need extra attention. I freelance work from home so I’m able to provided all the attention and care needed to my little furry guests. I will make sure your pet is comfortable and happy in my home. I have a fenced in backyard that I am happy to keep the door open to to provide easy in and out access for your pet. If you prefer the pet stay inside that’s perfectly fine as well. I can take on walks if preferred, I live in a quiet neighborhood away from the main road and a little park and water nearby. Pets are welcome on furniture , I have no strict rules. I have 2 cats of my own that go out to the backyard as they please.

“I highly recommend Valerie. This was my first time using Rover and was apprehensive about leaving our fur baby with someone I didn't know. Not only did she take wonderful care of Brea but she sent multiple pictures showing us how her day was going. When you meet Valerie you can see how passionate she is with the animals she cares for. Valerie is very welcoming, and after meeting her you will feel like shes a good friend you have had most of your life.”

We have a fully fenced yard for safe playtime and plenty of love and attention to give. After moving from Tennessee and now managing three beachside properties of our own, we’re excited to open our home to more furry friends.

Our flexible schedule and home based lifestyle make it easy to give your pets constant care, attention, and affection.

Our home has a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and pets are welcome to relax indoors just like part of the family.

“Oh my goodness. I can not say enough good things about Patience and her husband. They were so great to my little guy. I was so nervous to leave my little guy. I had never left him before but we were vacation and my daughter wanted to go snorkeling. Not a service dog friendly activity. Patience put us at ease from the second we walked up to her door. She was super friendly and just loved my Ewok. She sent me tons of pictures throughout his stay to show me how he was doing. It made this mommy heart happy! It helped me focus on my two legged kiddo knowing my 4 legged kiddo was safe and being well cared for. Thank you so much!”

Tricia B.

“Malia and her family are fantastic. We have a puppy with separation anxiety who is just starting to understand house training. Malia and her family really made our furbaby feel welcomed and safe. I highly recommend her work, and her updates really make you feel even more comfortable.”

Alexandra D.

“Susan and her family kept our two dogs for us all day, and they had a blast! She was so sweet to send photos and updates. It was so helpful and put us at ease to know they were in good hands all day :)”

About: From a young age, I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to caring for animals. As a child, I began pet sitting for my neighbors and volunteering at the local Humane Society which eventually led me to the veterinary field. With over three years of experience as a veterinary technician, I later transitioned my focus to animal rescue and rehabilitation, along with pet sitting full time. I have extensive experience with a large variety of different breeds, both dogs and cats, as well as with birds, pocket pets and reptiles. I possess both my K9 CPR and first aid certifications, along with a comprehensive understanding of animal medicine gained from my previous experience as a veterinary technician. The safety and well-being of your pets are my foremost priorities while they are under my care. I am dedicated to providing both you and your pet with peace of mind during your time apart. As a full-time pet sitter with my own business, pet care is the centerpiece of my daily routine. Therefore, I can typically provide care on short notice if necessary. Positive reinforcement and strict safety precautions will be implemented while your pet is in my care. Treats will be offered to help encourage positive behavior, please notify me of any food allergies prior to our session. Nose to nose contact with other dogs and/or people while on walks/in my care will be avoided unless prior consent is granted. (All treats provided are homemade by me using simple, high-quality ingredients. Most are single-ingredient options such as dehydrated chicken, turkey, or duck. Some varieties may include natural additions like egg or oat flour. I prepare my own treats to ensure full transparency of ingredients and to minimize the risk of tummy troubles from unfamiliar additives, preservatives, or unnecessary fillers)

About: My name is Alexandria, and I absolutely love all the pups! I would love to care for your fur baby and get all the cuddles while you enjoy your time away! I’ve got 8+ years experience being a kennel tech and would be better accommodated if I could do it remotely. I haven’t met an animal yet that I didn’t love caring for! I work for Bay District Schools so I am off for the summer and have plenty of free time and am accommodated to sit small breed dogs. I have a 3 month old miniature schnauzer and a 5 month old plott hound beagle mix that are the light of my life aside from being a mom! I sit for family and friends but am looking to expand. I can care for pets in-home, and can be available for house visits. I’m very experienced in nail trimming and bathing. I do not offer grooming services but will if necessary.
