Doggy Day Care Southwood

“I just recently found Ayme & I have booked with her twice in one week!!! I chose her because of her extensive positive reviews & for the fact that she has a nice backyard. Upon meeting her, she is warm, kind & welcoming. My adopted chocolate lab has separation anxiety, which has been getting worse. He becomes immensely anxious when I leave him and he can’t be left alone at all, or else he barks non-stop. He doesn’t love doggy daycare because it’s too many dogs, not enough human interaction and no outside time. He has done well with Ayme twice so far for day care and I look forward to using her services consistently to get him familiarized with her & being away from me. I totally recommend Ayme!”

“William was great with Church and very attentive throughout the day. He made sure Church was comfortable, safe, and well cared for, and I appreciated the communication and updates. It gave me peace of mind knowing Church was in good hands. I would definitely book again and recommend him to others looking for reliable doggy day care.”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 10. Family, friends, and friends-of-friends have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and house sit their pets. I currently live in a multi-pet household with multiple dogs and cats. I am now a senior at Michigan State University, pursuing a degree in animal science. I have taken companion animal science courses and worked hands-on with a wide range of animals. I have learned how to provide CPR and first-aid for pets as well. During school I have also worked for a doggy daycare, consisting of taking care of up to 80 dogs at a time in a cage-free environment! This consisted of assisting dogs of all ages and sizes in specific food schedules/requests, administering medications, and keeping a safe and fun environment for all. During my time here I learned how to read the body language of a wide-range of dogs. I will cater to just about any needs you request when it comes to caring for your pet in your home. If your pet needs walked, fed, or let outside at specific times, I will be there to provide it all. Just ask, and I’ll let you know whether I will be a good fit for caring for your pet(s). I'm currently in school at Michigan State University pursuing a degree in Animal Science, I commute to campus so when I don't have classes I am full-time in Greenville area. Classes may take up a couple hours on certain weekdays, but outside of that time your pets will be my priority. I am also enlisted in the Army National Guard, so I am unavailable one weekend a month. During that time I may be available for evening dog walks or an evening drop-in visit, otherwise I will not take any pets if I know that I can't provide the time and care they need. During the Meet and Greet I will take in any information needed to care for your pets and cater to any needs you wish. I want to provide a comfortable experience for your pets while also adhering to their routines and rules. I want to provide a fun and safe experience for your pets while you are away! This requires me to collect as much information as I can on your pets including triggers, routines, medications, small house rules and limitations, emergency information, treats/food information, and of course enjoyable activities that your pets love. During any service I will also provide updates and pictures as much as possible without interrupting your time away too much. I work a fulltime job and have a dog and cat of my own. If my availability doesn’t fit the needs of your pet, I will let you know immediately to ensure both my pets and your pets get all of the care they need! I do not provide care in my own home, although I’ll happily provide care in your home. The care received will be discussed during the meet and greet, if your pet requires any specialty care I will gladly work with it and provide them with an enjoyable environment. I like to make sure that I am sticking to their routines to provide as much comfort as possible while they are missing you.

“Michelle took good care of my pup. Her dog Milo is a sweetie. She has a nice yard for them to play in and my dog also enjoyed relaxing by her side on the couch.”

“Despite the late request, Ross answered very quickly and was able to arrange a brief meeting the same night for Murdoch and his dog to meet. The day after, we left Murdoch with Ross and Ava and everything went monthly with a few pictures of Murdoch's day. I recommend Ross and Ava !”

“Cindy is a wonder! My scaredy-dog loves her, and went to her willingly even though it had been a long time since his last visit. She asked if I’d like her to give him a bath, and that was a very welcome addition. Thank you Cindy!”

“Joyce is great! She takes care of my dog Banana on a daily basis while I’m at work & is constantly working with my crazy sales schedule. Joyce takes great care of Banana, making sure she’s fed twice a day, has pleeenty of potty breaks & all the love & affection she could ask for! She even sends me daily pictures of my old pup throughout the day, which always cheers me up! 10/10, would recommend 😊”

About: With 8 years of dog training experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Whether it’s teaching energetic puppies good manners or providing gentle, attentive care for seniors, I adapt to each dog’s unique needs and make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. Since I work from home, pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day while balancing my job, making sure their needs are always met. In my home, I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and part of the family with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or special instructions—so pets feel secure and cared for just like they would with their owner

“Jesse was awesome to work with, and was super accommodating and flexible with all the changes around my work trip. Would definitely book with him again.”

“Matt is fantastic. My dog Ru loves going to his house so much that she sprints to his front door and will not look back for me at all. She has a great time with him and when I pick her up she is happy and tired in the best way. He clearly has a great understanding of dogs and is very professional and communicative. I feel completely confident leaving my girl there and I know she has the absolute best care.”

About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I genuinely see animals as family, and I believe they deserve the same love, patience, and attention we give our children. Friends know they can trust me with their pets, and I’ve cared for my best friend’s pug whenever she travels, making sure he feels loved, comfortable, and keeps his routine. My goal is to provide every pet with a safe, nurturing environment where they can feel happy and at home until they’re reunited with their family. Your pup will enjoy a calm, clean, and cozy home where they’ll be treated like part of the family. I work around a flexible schedule, allowing plenty of time for potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, and rest throughout the day. My apartment community features a fenced dog park, and we’re surrounded by beautiful walking trails that are perfect for exercise and sniff adventures. Whether your dog loves to play or prefers a peaceful place to relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. As someone who naturally enjoys caring for both children and animals, creating a warm, loving environment comes easily to me. I’m patient, attentive, and believe every dog has their own unique personality and needs. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playing fetch, lounging on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care, plenty of affection, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

I ensure all spaces are pet-safe, free from hazards, and appropriately supervised. Pets are never left unattended for extended periods, and I provide structured feeding times, regular potty breaks, playtime, and rest to support their physical and emotional well-being.

“This was Luna’s first day with Julie. She was happy when I picked her up and seemed to enjoy herself. We have another day scheduled in a week.”

“I can’t say enough great things about Nadia! She took such amazing care of my dog, Mojo, during his first stay that it completely put my mind at ease. From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. Mojo had such a great experience that what started as a one time stay has now turned into a regular weekly visit. He gets so excited every time we arrive he truly loves Nadia, and that says everything. It’s such a relief knowing he’s not just being watched, but is actually happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Nadia is reliable, kind, and clearly passionate about what she does. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”

About: I absolutely love dogs! I grew up on a small farm with four dogs of my own and have been taking care of them for as long as I remember. I have watched many different dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have administered medicine to diabetic dogs as well as numerous medications. I love hiking and the outdoors, and love bringing a pup along with me. Animals have always seemed to love me and I plan on getting a degree to eventually become a vet. Nurturing and caring for animals is not just a side job for me its my passion! Not only will I ensure your best friend gets the exercise they need but the love, attention, and affection they deserve as well.
