Doggy Day Care Southwood

About: With many years of experience and a home full of kindness, we welcome every furry guest like family. After our own senior dog crossed the rainbow, our hearts have even more room. My mom and I work part-time, which means one of us is almost always home. Your pet will never feel lonely here — just cared for, watched over, and loved like family. I follow every instruction carefully and always respect each pet’s unique needs. Animals are like kids — they all have their own personality, comfort level, and routine. I make sure they feel safe, understood, and cared for at all times.

“I really appreciate you guys watching striker it looks like she had a great time and she was well taken care of. Thank you so much for the photos and the great communication. I will definitely be reaching out in the future! I hope you guys have a great rest of your week! Thanks again!”

About: As a pet owner, I know how important it is to have your furbaby well taken care of when you're not around. My two pups have since passed away and while I'm not ready to add another to the family, I would love to puppysit yours! I can administer meds, feed, walk, and play with your dog. I also have four young children who adore animals and would shower your pup with love and endless playtime. When your dog stays with us, it becomes part of the family. I believe it should be that way because that's how I would want my dog taken care of when I'm out of town. I am currently a stay at home mom so my time is flexible and I am home a lot. Your dog won't be lonely and will get plenty of pets, cuddles, and playtime. When your pup visits us, they become part of the family. So rest assured they will get plenty of attention, walks, and love throughout the day.

About: I have extensive experience caring for pets and have grown up around animals my entire life, including both cats and dogs. Providing loving, attentive, and reliable care comes naturally to me. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or companionship, I treat every pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m used to being around and caring for animals. I make time for feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets receive plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m attentive to routines and understand the importance of consistency and reliability. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications if needed, and any special instructions provided by the owner. In a client’s home, I respect their space while making sure their pet feels secure, comfortable, and well cared for. I always provide attentive supervision, patience, and plenty of affection.

“Took great care of my dog! She has her own large Great Dane who had a lot of fun with mine (about 50 lbs, a pit mix) and a Boston Terrier she was watching for someone else. Huge size differences but they all had fun together!”

About: When you board with us, your pet gets more than a place to stay, your pet gets a family to be a part of. We are a family of 6 humans, 1 dog, and 5 chickens and 2 ducks. Your pet will have plenty of playmates! I am a single mother who works from home. I drop off and pick up my kids from school, and run the occasional errand, but usually I am home. I enjoy an evening walk with my chocolate lab and would love your pet to join us. I have a fully fenced, large backyard. I also have two extra crates if your dog is crate-trained and feels more comfortable sleeping in a crate. Pets being on furniture is discouraged, but rarely enforced. I have an SUV and am willing to transport pets if needed.

About: Hi! I’m Christine, a professional pet care specialist with over 15 years of experience working with dogs, cats, and small animals. In my early 20s I worked as a vet tech until I opened my own pet grooming salon. I operated that salon for 12 years before transitioning careers. My background includes professional grooming, animal handling, pet behavior, and pet first aid. I provide dependable, compassionate care and understand that every pet has unique needs. I hold certifications in pet CPR & First Aid. In 2025 I received certification in feline safety through the Intellectual Groomers Association. My current work-from-home position provides me with a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Because I work remotely, pets are rarely left unattended and receive consistent supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, I do my best to maintain the routine they’re accustomed to so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, medication requirements, and any special instructions provided by their owner.

About: My dad is a veterinarian, I am very lucky since that allows me to know how to vaccinate animals and even suture an emergency wound, what to do in cases where a puppy is fading due to its consumption of some food or to act in case of poisoning I am currently working part time that allows me to take care of and play with your pet after 3 in the afternoon during the week and also on weekends The neighborhood is very quiet and we have nearby parks if you want me to take your dog to one, in winter we could look for options to protect your dogs pads from the snow and the cold

About: My first best friend was my dog. I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a home without furbabies. I am happy to play, love on, walk, feed, pick up potty, scoop litter boxes, and administer medicine if needed. I was unemployed from my full-time job this summer and started doing Rover full time. I enjoy meeting my neighbors and their pets. I’ve been pet sitting on the side for five years now and am happy to provide references. I will treat your home as if it were my own. Safety and security are my top priorities. Whatever security measures you have in place and want to share, I will follow your requests.

About: As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to find someone who truly treats your pup like family. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and personalities and currently focus on pups 40 lbs and under to keep things calm and comfortable in my cozy home. My own dog is about 65 lbs, gentle, and great with dogs of all sizes! I only care for one family’s pets at a time so I can provide focused attention, a peaceful environment, and personalized care for your pup’s unique needs. I work from home full time, so your dog will have lots of companionship, attention, and supervised time throughout the day. While I don’t include walks by default, I’m happy to offer them if requested. I do require that all dogs are crate trained, just in case I need to run a quick errand—your pup’s comfort and safety always come first. Your dog will be cared for in a safe, calm, and loving home with a fully fenced yard for outdoor potty breaks and play. I only accept crate-trained dogs under 40 lbs and host just one family’s pets at a time. This helps ensure a low-stress, high-attention environment tailored to your dog’s comfort. My dog is friendly and well-socialized, and I always prioritize slow, respectful introductions. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax, knowing your pet is in great hands.

“Jennifer was wonderful! She took the time to ask thoughtful questions and really understand my dog’s habits to make sure he was well cared for. My pup struggles with separation anxiety, so I was nervous about leaving him with someone new, but Jennifer quickly put me at ease. She sent me frequent updates and photos, which helped so much. When I went to pick him up, he seemed relaxed and comfortable — a true sign that he was in good hands. I highly recommend Jennifer!”
