Doggy Day Care Atkinson

About: I have one dog, she's an 8 year old pit bull named Cali, the sweetest girl! Former veterinary tech for 5 years and have been watching family and friends pets ever since. I work from home, which offers flexibility to provide exceptional care for your pet! Pet Care is my top priority, I have no children and am unmarried. I have a fenced in yard, carpet throughout my home, extra bedroom and dogs are allowed on furniture. I'm flexible to you and your loved ones needs!

About: I have worked with all types of animals since I was a child. My friends would call me the dog whisperer because I just understand them naturally! I love training dogs and horses. I currently have 3 dogs, 2 cats and a flock of ducks! All of my dogs have been raised from puppies. I have cared for senior pets as well. I have spent hundreds of hours over the last several years educating myself on animal behavior for my own pets benefits so I am well equipped to love and care for yours as well! I have always been passionate about working with animals of all type. I will always go the extra mile to provide topnotch care and service. My husband and I travel often so I know how important it can be to find petcare that you can feel good about! I currently work from home full time with a very flexible schedule. I am able to come to your house during the day or stay nights! I can offer limited boarding as well. I love animals and I love travel. I would be committed to caring for your pets as if they were my own. I enjoy getting to know your pets as each one is so special. I am reliable and can accommodate just about any extra requests such as bathing, working on training skills, hiving medication, providing adequate excercise etc. I will ALWAYS do this with your pets safety and happiness as my top priority.

“Lindsay was very kind. It was nice that she watched our dog while we went out for the evening. I could tell she loves dogs and would recommend her.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover whose always had dogs and cats throughout my childhood and adulthood. I also have professional experience working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for 70+ dogs each day. That experience taught me how to handle dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs while making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and loved. At home, we have a good sized fully fenced-in yard where your dog can run, play, and get plenty of outdoor time. I also love staying active myself, so going for walks with the dogs is one of my favorite parts of pet care. Whether your pet needs some extra playtime, a good long walk, or simply some love and companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I recently moved to North Carolina from Massachusetts with my fur babies and husband for my husband’s career and to continue his college career at UNCW. Currently, I am not working and pet care is my only focus. I give all my animals/the animals that I care for lots of love and attention. Additionally, I give them lots of play time and exercise.

“Andrea was great with our puppy, Bella! Bella came home tired every night from playing with the other dogs, but was ready to go back the next morning. Andrea was very responsive and accommodating to my schedule.”

About: I enjoy taking active dogs for long walks & runs! No issue providing meds & special attention for older fellas/ladies. I have sat for cats for extended stays as well. Happy to do so again! I work remote 3-5 days a week so I can take breaks to walk your dogs or give them a potty break a few times per day, including midday. I currently have no pets at home, however I grew up with 2-3 dogs and a cat for 18 years. I'll love taking your dog for long walks/runs if they need it! I am happy to care for special needs animals or those who require medications at each meal. Just send me your instructions and I'll treat them as you would! I am open to sitting cats, but would consider myself a dog person.

About: Hi! My name is Haleigh and I am an animal lover! I have been taking great care of other people's pets for about 10 years now, and I absolutely love doing it. I have had dogs my whole life on top of my experience pet-sitting, so I understand most of their needs and how to take exceptional care of them. I understand that these are not just pets, they are family members, and I always intend to treat them just as that. I have house-sat while taking care of the pets, made drop in visits through out the day, and have walked multiple dogs at once. I am very reliable and attentive. I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave them with another person; so I always make sure to do frequent updates over text (unless call is preferred). I do have two dogs of my own so if you’re looking to drop your pet with me, he/she must get along with other dogs! Thank you for your consideration! I only work three days a week so I should have plenty of time to take care of your babies as long as it’s on my days off which I have posted! :) I have a fenced yard and two very friendly and playful dogs to keep yours company. I can also crate your dog or dogs if needed.

“Hillary took great care of Shelby and kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and texts. I would not hesitate to use her again.”

About: I grew up working on a farm and have always had dogs in my life. I have a sweet goldendoodle of my own. Currently attending dog grooming school at CFCC! 🐕 🐾 I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. Enjoy being outdoors and would love to meet some new furry friends to join me! I have extensive pet sitting experience and will love yours like my own. I prioritize being present with your pet and communicating if any questions arise. *I DO NOT ACCEPT RESERVATIONS AT HOTELS*

About: I'm a dog lover and owner who has worked with other dogs for 10+ years. I understand how difficult it can be to find someone to trust with your fur babies! My goal is to be that person for you! I'm currently working part-time from home so I have flexibility to do walking or day care during the week and can facilitate boarding on some weekends! Please reach out for availability!! I look forward to meeting your fur baby! I can come to you or you can drop your fur baby off to me! I have a fully fenced yard (high fence) and also have two different sized crates depending on your fur baby's needs!

“So glad we found Jacob. He did an awesome job watching our (very) anxious dog while we were at a wedding. He even sent an update with pictures to let us know how she was doing. If you are looking for pet care, we highly recommend him!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have experience caring for all kinds of pets—from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal like my own. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re gone. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s feeding, litter box checks, play sessions, or just being there to keep your pet company, I’m able to give them the time and attention they need without rushing. I enjoy building a routine that works for each pet’s needs while keeping their day stress-free and comforting. When I’m walking dogs, I make sure each walk is safe, enjoyable, and tailored to the dog’s energy level and personality. I pay close attention to their behavior, stick to their routine, and always prioritize their safety—whether it’s avoiding hot pavement, staying in familiar areas, or keeping a steady pace. As a pet owner myself (I have a rabbit!), I understand how much trust goes into letting someone care for your animal, and I treat every pet with the same care and attention I’d want for mine.

“Jay was amazing! Best dog sitter ever! He made us feel like they were with family. He sent updates throughout the day of their adventures and made sure they were eating well and having a great time! Our pups had a great time with him.”

About: Hi! I’m Emma — dog mom of 3, lifelong dog lover, and small-dog boarding specialist in Wilmington, NC. I have three friendly small dogs of my own (Cavaliers + a Cocker Spaniel), so your pup will always have built-in friends, supervised playtime, and a home-based environment instead of an overcrowded kennel. Taking care of dogs is just part of my everyday life! I work from home, so I’m with my dogs pretty much all day. We keep a regular routine of potty breaks, playtime, and light training throughout the day. On weekends, we love to switch things up with a hike, a beach stroll, or grabbing a pup cup at our favorite coffee spot. Whether it’s a chill day at home or an adventure, I’m always focused on making sure the dogs in my care are happy, safe, and well-loved. Located in a safe, quiet Scotts Hill neighborhood with a fully fenced backyard for playtime. I only board 1-2 dogs at a time, so your pup will always get personal attention and care. They have the option to have their own cozy suite or stay in the same room as our resident pups, both with comfy bedding, toys, and all the essentials. Please note all pets are crated when unsupervised and overnight. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog feels right at home!

“Absolutely amazing. We truly appreciate Jennifer for loving and caring for our fur baby during our absence. She was very welcoming and made our visit to the area delightful. We will definitely allow Jennifer to watch over our fur baby the next time we are in the area.”

“2 day daycare stay: Katie was ABOVE and beyond not only caring for my crazy Millie girl (boxer/pitt) but also as a person. She was such a joy to talk to at drop off and pickup, and kept me up to-do-date with pictures and videos during Millie’s stay. I would hands down recommend her to anyone as well as use her again. If only she lived closer to Charlotte, all three of my dogs would be with her everyday! THANK YOU, Katie!!!”

“Rebecca was a perfect sitter for our puppy. She had her dog to be a playmate for our rambunctious Jack Russell. It was very convenient to drop him off and pick up. I highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have grown up around pets. I’m responsible, patient and enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and specific quirks. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime or just keeping your pet company while you’re away. I’m a full-time college student and I’m not working currently, so I have a really flexible schedule. I also have a light class load this semester, which gives me plenty of free time throughout the week. Because of that, I’m able to be flexible with different pet schedules and spend plenty of time with them instead of just rushing in and out. I am able to work around your pet’s routine, whether they need a walk, playtime, to be fed, or just someone to hang out with. I’m very attentive when it comes to taking care of animals, and I always want to make sure I know your pet and their routine before you leave. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, watching them at my home for the day, house sitting at your home, etc. I pay close attention to things like feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, doors and gates, and any little details that are important to you. I will do everything I can to make your pet feel comfortable and safe while you’re away! Just a heads-up, I do have a cat at home, so any pets staying at my house would need to be comfortable around cats.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every size since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to feed, play/exercise, bathe/groom, and love their pets while traveling, moving, or working. Are the morning walks not cutting it for your pup? Do they still have too much energy during the day? Now introducing “Dog Jogs!” Instead of a walk around the block, I will take your dog on a couple mile jog, solo or with other pups, to use up that puppy energy so they will sleep all day while you’re working. Additionally, I work from home and have plenty of time throughout the day for regular exercise and bathroom breaks. I live in a dog friendly community on the first floor with direct access to a large, grassy backyard. Your pet will be looked after at all times during the day, and would never be left alone. I do not have my own pets at this time, and your fur baby would receive all the love and attention it deserves.

About: I’ve spent lots of time with all kinds of pets, from playful puppies to older pets who need extra care. I’m really patient and make sure every pet feels safe and loved while I’m looking after them. I have plenty of available time to watch your pets since I don’t have a job right now. I’m always looking to help out, and taking care of your pet would be the highlight of my week! I make sure pets are safe and comfortable by getting rid of anything that could be dangerous and keeping the place clean. I will also make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and keep an eye on the pets to make sure they’re happy and relaxed. I also like to keep the owner updated so they know that their pet is in good hands.
