Doggy Day Care in Columbia

“My German shepherd was happy and healthy staying with serenity. Her puppies, really sweet and calm.”

“Amazing with Daisy.”

“Good daycare experience for my pup. Good communication and photo updates provided!”

“Ashley provides a great service. Prompt, responsible, and trustworthy. What I appreciated is her humility. Following instructions comes easily, and doesn’t deviate with her own ideas unless she discusses options.”

“Tifaney was great! She was available on such short notice. Responded quickly. Very easy to work with. Will definitely book again with no hesitation.”

“Amanda was very accommodating to my timeline. She sent updates on my dogs, one who has separation anxiety, which made me comfortable in my choice of dog sitters. I will definitely have Amanda (and her family) care for my dogs again.”

“Booked a last minute doggie vacay day and even had to extend the day an extra hour. Gail was very accommodating which took a lot of stress off me. She has a beautiful home and yard and I feel very comfortable leaving my baby in her care. Mr. Boots is looking forward to his next play date with Gail and her two pups!”

“Our pups loved their stay at day care with Vickie! She sent lots of photos and updated us throughout the day. We will absolutely be having our pups stay with her again!”

“Jackie has always taken excellent care of our two small pups. We have used her for both brief stop by and let the puppies out visits as well as long-term trips out of town where she has been responsible for them for multiple days in a row. She is such an animal lover and loves on our pups as if they were her own. She takes the time to let the doggies roam in the backyard during their potty breaks and will even play with them to make sure that they get the extra activity they need. Your pups (and cats if you have them) will be in fantastic hands with Jackie.”

About: My family has cats since before I was born so taking care of cats was an everyday routine to me. Eventually I would take care of pets mostly cats for my friends and relatives. I also took care of cats after surgery and older cats. Dogs came into my life 6 years ago. That includes taking care of my own dog and petsitting dogs of my relatives. I am currently a stay-at-home mom so I am at home most of the time. Kids like to play outside every day and we usually take our dog with us. I have two pets: a very friendly labrador retriever Buddy and a cat Siberia. They're both older pets, Buddy is 11 years old and prefers to sleep most of the day and Siberia is 8 years old and also enjoys her naps. I have three crates available, one is small which will fit a smaller cat, one is medium sized for bigger cats and medium dogs and one XLarge for dog like labrador retrievers. I also have two kids at home, 3 and 1 years old. They are nice to pets and usually keep their distance from pets. There's also a gate that is used if pets and kids need to be separated. There is also a completely empty room which can be used for boarding or just adjusting to a new environment.

About: There has never been a time in my life where I lived pet free. Dogs (all sizes and breeds), cats, horses, ferrets, and large birds. Sometimes all at the same time. Training is a must for these types of situations. I am available to help as needed. We have recently rearranged our lifestyle to spend more time at home and with both, our human and pet, family. This includes your pet as they are now part of our family. We have a fenced in yard and 7 acres to walk together. Offering indoor play area, kennels, free raised dog beds, and a dog couch.

“I appreciated the last minute help and am so thrilled Basil was loved and came home so happy! Thank you again!!”

“We are moving and needed a last minute sitter for our English Bulldog puppy. Ashley was able to help us last minute, kept us updated with pictures and how Chunk was doing. Chunk came back to us happy and healthy, we definitely recommend Ashley!”

“Great service! Will book again.”

About: I know leaving your fur babies can be scary for both you and for them, believe me..I've been there. I'll do everything possible to make your time away as painless as possible for your family and to help keep your mind at ease by keeping in touch and keeping you updated as much as you like. A little about me: Well, I am an animal lover for sure. I have one quirky poodle named "Fro". He's my sidekick. I am patient and loving and Fro is pretty friendly. I have had either a dog or cat, or both, my entire life and since old enough have provided the primary care for our animals. I like people and children, of course, but I am partial to animals and fiercely protective of them. If you don't like animals, I'm actually a little leery about you! ?❤️ I am very flexible and open to your requests and routines. I am home full-time, so again I'm very flexible to the needs of your pets! **I have recently changed my profile not to host at my home as often, but still amenable to working out something to meet your needs! Other than traveling a few times a year or overlapping sitting jobs, I am generally always available for both daily drop ins and housesitting. I am typically available on most holidays. I am also, for the most part, available for last minute jobs. I no longer board or do doggy day care in my home. Your dogs comfort, their safety and your level comfort with me coming to or staying in your home are of the utmost importance to me. Many of my clients have fenced yards, which works out great for your pets, but it is still important to me not to leave them unattended as I am aware that fences aren’t always secure. Without a fence is of great concern to me as far as safety with your pet and I prefer to leash in that instance or follow strict direction as to your comfort level and preference in that instance. With regard to your home whether it be drop ins or over nights, I want you to feel as comfortable as possible and will go above and beyond to make that happen. I hope my reviews on my stays on this site provide with some comfort as well as the knowledge that I have several clients that travel offer and have me stay in their home multiple times each year.

“I highly recommend Erika Leigh for dog and house sitting! She watched our golden retriever in our home while we were out of town for a week. We hate leaving our boy, but felt reassured that he would be in the comfort of his own home. Erika Leigh took such great care of him. He is pretty needy on the attention front, demanding of pets and love and I know he received so much from her! She walked him a couple of times a day, played with him and was just here to keep him company. He was also finishing a round of antibiotics and she administered those with no problems. She is extremely responsible and wonderful to communicate with. She sent photos and daily updates. I never felt worried about his care as I know they had a great time together and became fast buddies! Aside from caring for our boy, she watered my flowers, got our mail and just kept things tidy while we were away. We had an amazing experience with Erika Leigh and our boy would love to have her watch him again!”

About: Experience with vision/hearing impaired pets, and scheduled based pet care needs. Medication, Feeding, & routine care. I strive to provide consistency to their regular schedule, to make your pet feel at home. I have experience with rescues and pets that require additional care. I have a very flexible schedule for pets. I can be available same day for check ins, walks, or even companionship. I use to work long hours and travel for work. I know how it is to worry about a fur baby and not being able to get there quick enough. I allow pets to feel comfortable while their loved ones are away. Rather it be on walks or relaxing, I want them to be happy and secure in their environment.

“Many people claim to care about their pets. The pets them selves are the testimony. Many fail that test. Kristie's dog Tanner is her testimony. Tanner was neglected and not wanted before Kristie adopted him. Now he is a well trained, well cared for, healthy, happy dog. Nothing speaks louder than actions. Kristie's love and care for animals is dominantly evident in her own dog. ”

“Wow - my mini aussie pup, Emmy LOVED her stay at Camp Klarissa! Emmy got tons of exercise chasing her super friendly dog "Bacon" around and even got a pup cup! Klarissa is extremely mature and responsible and I would trust her to watch my pup any day. I would give her 6 stars but it looks like 5 stars is the highest review I can give her. Highly recommend, one of the top Rover sitters. :)”

“Estela is such a loving human being, she is a dedicated dog 🐶 care giver! Any dog will love staying with her, but probably would also love to be back! She is very responsible, and have a natural skill to communicate with dogs. She is always attentive of their personality, their preference and their needs! She is the best ✨🥰🦮🐕🐩”
