Doggy Day Care in Acorn Hill

“Rhonda was warm and friendly! It seems that Dakota had a very interesting visit with her. This was the first time we had him to a sitter. He came home exhausted and happy!!”

About: I am a true animal lover. I have a level of empathy for pets that most people think is crazy. Your pet is part of your family and will be part of mine as well. I have a lot of love to give. I am more then happy to accept a million phone calls and texts because I know top care is important. I am patient and understanding and take the time to help with house breaking and learn new tricks. I use to breed Siberian huskies. That is one of the most energetic and mischevious breeds out there. I help with a local rescue in rehoming and donations. I am also actively involved with helping take strays to local vets and following up with owners. My family consists of me, my husband and our five children. There is always someone to give love and attention. We keep our own pets somewhat on a schedule and we play a lot in our back yard. I have a large fenced in yard and three very active dogs who enjoy to play. I also have 5 indoor cats. I can easily crate if needed.

“Kristin was absolutely the best! Goose got so excited each day I dropped him off. Kristin was flexible with my changing work schedule and so loving towards my sweet boy. Will definitely be using her to care for my pup again.”

“This was Juno's first time staying with people she didn't know, but the kids were great with her. I think it was good enrichment for her to hang out with little kids as she seems to be in high spirits now after her "daycare" experience. Received cute photos and updates. I am glad to have reliable sitters nearby and will feel perfectly at ease leaving her with Eric's family again.”

“This family was great with my pomchi! They showed my puppy nothing but love and she loved them in return! I had to book with them last minute and they were okay with it and very flexible with their time and availability. I would definitely book again! Thank you so much!”

About: As a stay at home and home school mom there is usually always someone home to love and play with our (your) animals. We have two daughters (17 & 15) and one son (10). *I’ve recently updated this profile to include the following: As an owner to two small dogs myself, I understand the worry and anxiety of leaving my small, fragile, pup, in the care of others who may have larger dogs coming and going where an accident can happen. I don’t like to take chances with one of my own, or one of yours getting hurt. Even by accident. I’ve recently updated my profile to only accept dogs up to a certain pound. This will help with my profile score, for the many dogs I’ve had to turn down. However, if you are a prior client, I will accept your larger dog (they’ve all been wonderful and fine because of my judgement at meet and greet) and in addition any future clients who have a small dog/big dog combo, I will consider a meet and greet to verify we would be a good fit and will make exceptions on a case by case. I will not be sitting for more than one family at a time. I’d like to advertise our service as a small dog oasis. We have tons of toys, treats, dogs beds, and love to offer to spoil and keep your little ones happy and safe. I know the peace and ease of mind I offer will stand out. I send pictures, and/or videos, daily, unless you ask me not to. I will also FaceTime you with your pet, upon request. * We have a 5 year old, 10lb Maltipoo, who acts more like an indoor cat, (sleeps a lot) and follows me everywhere, a 9 month old, 7lb, Malshi (Maltese Shitzu), who is a baby and wants to play with her toys all the time. We also have a 4 year old yellow lab, Sam, who acts like a lab. Aren’t they all full of energy? Sam likes to stay outside and loves his job as a guardian dog to our miniature goats. He comes in for freezing temperatures, over night to sleep, or heat advisories only. He’d rather be outside. All three get along with ALL animals, strays, neighbor’s yorkies’, neighbors dogs, etc. We have two acres of yard with a fenced in area that has a dog house, goat house, tree house, etc. which is where he stays. We are an animal loving family. No young kids that harm or hurt in any way. Your pets are guaranteed a “spoiled rotten” experience for sure. Schedule We are home most of the time. We let the pups run around and play inside. We prefer inside dogs over outside dogs, but will take the dogs outside many, many times to walk, run, and play. Just I inform us of their home habits of how often they like to go out. Safety, trust & environment- I am highly protective over the dogs well being. Safety and emotionally. We use leashes when walking/running your dog and to let them out to use the bathroom. Dogs are fed at separate locations to ensure no jealousy and fights. Not to mention stolen food and a hungry pup. The dogs we sit for sleep in the master bedroom. We sleep with the door shut. This is to ensure we can always have eyes and ears on your pup. No accidents or trouble to get into. They seem to like having the constant company around them, even if we are asleep, they know they’re not alone.

“We are so appreciative of Ricardo and his family opening up their home for our dogs. Taking it slow and making sure they have a good time while we are getting settled into our new house. We get pictures and updates throughout the day and our dogs are so excited to get there to spend the day. Very grateful to have found them nearby to us.”

“Melody is quick in communication and my dog was well cared for. We went to her for drop-in care due to my work schedule changing. I’m happy I found her.”

Rebekah R.

“Michael and his wife took such great care of our puppy and made me feel such at ease being away! He sent updates throughout the day and the pictures he took of her were amazing! Highly recommended, he is now my go-to person!”

Allison A.

“Megan is the best sitter ever! She made me feel so comfortable through the entire process. She sent amazing update photos and gave a cute doggy report card at the end of the day. I’m so happy with the experience and will definitely book her again ASAP”

“My husband and I recently moved to the Elizabeth City area and we don't know anyone here. Last minute my husband was able to attend an event with me a few hours away. I quickly scrambled to find someone to sit our furbabies. I messaged Christianna and she quickly got back to me saying she could watch them. Since I'm a very nervous dog mom and we've had bad experiences hiring a dog sitter online (we used a different website at that time), she agreed to come meet us the night before and the dogs. We dropped the dogs off Saturday morning and she was instantly great with them. They walked right into her house with no fear. Throughout the day she sent updates and photos (that definitely put my mind at ease and I was able to focus on the event I was attending). She was great with them all day and they came home super tired and ready for bed! :) We will definitely book with Christianna again.”

“Cheyenne is great person, takes great care of pets in her care. My puppy loved being there. I would and will recommend her to my friends in Elizabeth City area.”

“The best doggie day camp available. Julie, her boys, the dogs, cats, etc. took the best care of my 2 month old Aussie. Even working on obedience and crate training. Highly recommend.”

“Cassandra did a amazing job with my one year old Husky for Doggy Day Care , she will keep you updated with everything by sending you pictures of your dog having fun , and no doubt she did a amazing job.!”

About: Hello there! My name is Jessica & I have grown up with pets my whole life and have had experience with several other species which has included dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, and even fish. I'm even a fan of reptiles! I believe pets play a very important role in their human pals life and teach us so much about life and the kind of love that I have for my dog has taught me just that! Your pet(s) will find pals with my family & our dog Orie. Know that if you choose me to walk or watch your pet(s), they will be treated like a family member. Look forward to meeting your pet(s) and hopefully gain a new friendship through a mutual love for our animals.

“Maverick had a great time at Marcia's for a day visit. Marcia communicated great with us. Maverick has requested to visit again :-)”

About: Whether you need daily walks, playtime, or overnight care, I provide safe, loving, and dependable care for your pets. I treat every dog like my own—making sure they get the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. Flexible scheduling, affordable rates, and trusted experience give you peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾 Walks tailored to your dog’s energy level 🐾 Drop-ins for feeding, play, and potty breaks 🐾 Overnight sitting in the comfort of their own home 🐾 Reliable, trustworthy, and pet-loving care Let’s make sure your pup stays happy, healthy, and loved—while you focus on your day with confidence. My girlfriend and I walk the dogs at least 3 times a day with a visit to the dog park in the evening. There is 3 other dogs that always meet us at the dog park at the same time as well that live in the same housing territory as us which helps them all socialize and play together. All 3 dogs get fed 3 times a day as well so your dog will not go hungry if it needs fed multiple times a day. I am currently not working so the dogs will be my priority! No worries at all as the dogs will always be coming first in this household. I have a small fenced in yard for the dogs to go out. We also have a friendly dog park right out back of the house as well in which we take the dogs to frequently and know most of the dogs that go to the park as well. We have 3 stories so the dogs will get plenty of exercise going up and down the stairs as well.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. My family and friends have relied and trusted in me to take care of their fur babies. I am currently a stay at home mom, I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies and give them all the attention they need! I am able to do daycare everyday and do drop in visits from 11am to 3pm. I have a fenced in yard and a good sized porch and plenty of comfortable places inside for your pets to relax. I also have two fur babies who love to sun bathe.

“My dog is extremely attached to me, so I was nervous about leaving her with a sitter. However, Akemi has the disposition and experience I was pretty sure would work for my dog, and I was right! Akemi has been fantastic about entertaining my dog, so she isn't so sad while also creating such a loving and positive environment for my dog that my dog now adores her too! She was able to quickly bond with my dog making it so my dog and I both feel comfortable leaving her with Akemi. Akemi is quickly responsive to messages and always sends a detailed report with plenty of pictures after each session. I feel confident I am leaving my dog in secure and loving hands.”
