Doggy Day Care in Thelma

“Simply amazing! I believe Charissa is a dog whisperer! She has this positive, calm, authoritative aura about her. My young puppy gets out of the car and runs to her which is reassuring when you’re leaving your dog in someone else’s care. Their facilities are well set up to accommodate multiple dogs, very clean and tidy, and they are well organized. I receive multiple photos and a doggy report card after every stay. Clearly a professional!”

About: Please note we're in the Zion Crossroads area. We take one dog at a time so our schedule can be limited. We've had different pets since we were kids including dogs, cats, fish, chickens, and cows. We had 3 pups whom all passed in 2023. This past year we added a playful but gentle medium sized labradoodle to our family. So, we joined Rover this year. Your pup will be a member of our family during their stay. They are allowed on furniture during the day but are typically crated at night (per your guidance). We have a small fenced area in front yard and an extra large fenced area in back. Pups must be house broken. Please note, our pup Ozzie is one year old and an active pup. So, may not be the best fit for senior dogs. We're retired so typically someone is always home. We do crate our pup if we leave our home. And crate your pup as appropriate. We're able to let pups out according to your schedule. The health and safety of our pup and your pup is a top priority. Our home is fenced in at the front door area area and an extra large area in rear. Our home is puppy proofed as our pup just turned one. We have a zero tolerance to aggressive dogs whom will be separated during a stay and not permitted to return. Please provide proof of vaccines including Rabies, Bordatella, DAPP/DHPP and Leptospirosis (your Vet should be able to email you a copy). Date of last flea/tick and heartworm medication (these meds are important to us to prevent fleas and round worm at our property). Please only bring food and treats for the time period booked (a little extra for emergencies). Please let us know of any allergies. We provide blankets, bowls, toys and crates as needed. We wash all blankets and clean crates with every pet sitting.

“Many thanks to Hannah for watching our pup! Drop-off and pick-up was easy, Hannah herself was kind and personable; I could tell picking our dog up that she had a blast and was very comfortable at Hannah's home. Our dog got plenty of exercise over there! She curled up on the bed upon getting home :) Overall great experience!”

“Paula took excellent care of our dog Loki. We were visiting from out of town and need a place for Loki while we visited older relatives. Paula was good with communication and Loki came back all happy. Definitely recommend!”

“Bertie was amazing! It was my first time using Rover as a pet owner, and I needed a sitter for the day while on vacation. My puppy is still fairly young and is very attached to me, but she appeared to settle in pretty quickly and have a great time with some other pups. Bertie stayed in touch while I was out, sending pics and updates, and even recommended some great local spots to check out. Super happy with this experience!”

Danielle M.

“Kyle and Meagan were absolutely AWESOME! They even got my grumpy guy to have fun. That never happens, never. We are on vacation and it was a great burden lifted to know that there are such great people to leave our dogs with! Thank you guys so much!”

“Jessica was wonderful. We left our two dogs with her while we were working a late wedding and she took wonderful care of them, sent us photos, and kept us updated. 100% recommend her”

“Mary and her family did such an amazing job taking care of Buttercup. I definitely felt very comfortable each day and prior to booking. Mary worked with my early morning drop offs and long work hours which is much appreciated. The frequent pictures and updates were an added bonus. I definitely look forward to booking in the future! Thank you so much again”

“Rebecca takes great care of Mocha and is very communicative. I am a returning customer and I will keep bringing my doggy to her. He’s always very happy to see her and spend time with her dogs.”

Nicole B.

“We were impressed with Jessica’s care for our border collie mix Boots for a very long day care day. Boots enjoyed the fenced-in yard and romping with another visiting dog. With a lovely, flexible, positive personality, Jess made us feel assured that Boots was being well taken care of. We would highly recommend her to others and will definitely seek her services again, when we return to town and need temporary dog care.”

“I am so blessed to have found Tamara and double blessed that she lives so close to me. Perry took to her right away and he loves her dog Ollie. I am so happy that my baby now has somewhere to go and have some interaction during the week. I’m excited to have a learn long-term caregiver for Perry.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and truly love them like family. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs requiring extra patience and attention. Providing a safe, loving, and attentive environment is always my top priority. Having your beloved dog in my home means they’ll receive dedicated, around-the-clock care. I’m currently transitioning from my work-from-home position to boarding dogs full-time, which allows me to provide constant supervision, structure, and plenty of love and attention. Your pup will never feel alone and will always be treated like part of the family. Dog boarding in my home is set up in a dedicated, clean, and comfortable space in my basement. Each dog stays in a spacious 4x6, top-of-the-line kennel featuring turf grass flooring, a cozy dog bed, and a soft fleece blanket to ensure comfort and relaxation. Throughout the day, dogs receive plenty of walks, playtime, and enrichment activities in addition to regular potty breaks. Because I am transitioning to boarding full-time, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care to ensure every pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved during their stay.

About: I’m a mom of two, proud dog owner, and lifelong animal lover who understands just how important it is to know your pets are cared for like family when you’re away. With two dogs of my own, I know the joy of long walks, playtime, and snuggles—and I bring that same energy and love to every pet I care for. I balance my career in marketing with the things I enjoy most: playing pickleball, cheering on college football, hiking, and spending time outdoors in nature. I’m reliable, responsible, and detail-oriented, which means you can trust me to not only care for your pets but also look after your home with the same level of responsibility I give to my own. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just keeping your pets company, I’d love to make sure they’re happy, safe, and well-loved while you’re away. Work from home primarily so plenty of time for outdoor fun and bathroom breaks. Schedules are flexible to meet your needs so just let me know how we can help! When I’m caring for dogs in someone else’s home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as normal and consistent as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, or favorite play activities—so the dogs feel comfortable and secure. I always give them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also respecting the home by keeping things neat, tidy, and safe. My goal is to make sure both the pets and their owners feel at ease, knowing that their dogs are happy, cared for, and loved while they’re away.

About: I started my journey with dogs 4 years ago and have not looked back enjoying every moment since. I am a certified trainer who loves improving the relationship between human and dog. We have a dog yard plus 5 acres. All dogs stay in our extra bedroom, which is now considered the dog room. I personally have two dogs, a cattle dog and a husky mix. They are both very social with all other dogs. We like to have a good time here but I keep a very safe environment for the dogs, no fighting or picking on one another. NO DOG IS TURNED AWAY. If you think your dog is aggressive, I can and will evaluate them so that if possible, we will get them socializing with their own kind and having a great time. Thanks, have a good day! I train dogs for a living so I stay at my house 7 days a week besides when I work with clients and those lessons tend to run about an hour but no more than 2 hours! I have 9 years experience running my own kennel and have two dogs with a large fence so there will be no boredom here! I do prefer to kennel dogs for the night but as we get comfortable with each other they will start to earn more freedom! Pet care is my full time job and i wouldn’t have it any other way, it has been a blessing. I hope I can help make your schedule less stressful! While you’re away, let your dogs play! I have a five foot fenced in dog yard specifically for dogs. We also have another 5 acres that we will walk all client dogs on during their stay with us.-

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Bowie! Jayden was wonderful from start to finish. He kept us updated throughout our time away with regular messages and adorable photos of Bowie, which gave us peace of mind. It was clear that Bowie was well cared for and happy. Jayden’s communication was excellent - they were always responsive and proactive about letting us know how things were going. I came back to one very content puppy! I would absolutely book with Jayden again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter.”

“Jani and Paul are amazing sitters for my dog, Lucky! 🐾 I always pick him up from their home and he’s happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. They’re so reliable and thorough and always fill out his report card right away, so I know exactly how his stay went. I really appreciate the care and attention they give him. Highly recommend!”

Jessica H.

“Brooke was really good with our dog, Ollie. He had a great time exploring her place and enjoyed some outside time. I felt at peace dropping him off and picking him up. She sent pictures while he was spending the day with her and assured me that he was doing good. She was also great with communication from the start. Highly recommend!!”
