Doggy Day Care in Balsam

“Amy was wonderful. I left her with 2 dogs that are senior citizens and they came back every day very happy, very energetic still, they had an amazing time by the smiles on their faces. So i'm ecstatic about that! It was easy to get to her property. She provided check ins throughout their stay and the communication was great”

“James did a great job with our dog. It was last minute, and he was able to accommodate. When we dropped her off, she just walked into the place like she owned it. I figure if my dog is comfortable doing that, then I should be comfortable leaving her there. Will definitely reach out to James again next time we're in the area.”

“Rosie & James have a dream yard for dogs to play in. We are so thankful they were able to board our fur babies at a last minutes notice on a Sunday. Cooper & Cody we’re very happy when we left them and appeared very happy & comfortable in the picture updates we received while they were taken care of at this loving families home. Would definitely book through them again should we be in the area. Thanks again Rosie & James. Take care and hope to see you all soon in the near future ?❤️?”

About: I have experience with Elderly dogs as well as puppies. I have some experience with training and am able to assist with simple commands like sit, stay and heel. I have experience with reactive dogs as I used to have one of my own and am very good at soothing stressed animals and keeping them under control. I am a University student and will be leaving Wilmington on July 10th. However I do regularly return for holidays and will be back in December. I am a very diligent caretaker always keeping an eye on the pet and taking time to determine what they need when they express distress. I am very active and love being in nature so I am happy to take as many walks as might be necessary!

“Mary was amazing! She took really good care of my dog for the day and on a very short notice. I would definitely recommend her services to others. 🥰”

About: I have a decade of experience with animal care, both in pet sitting and animal rescue. Please reach out for dog day camp or boarding needs. I am available from early morning until 10 PM, allowing me to provide flexible and consistent care for your pets. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I ensure that your pets receive the attention and care they need throughout the day. For pups that come to day camp or board with us, we start our mornings going for walks, followed by breakfast and a little relaxation time out doors. Then we head out for a hike in the woods to burn off energy and get plenty of time to explore and socialize with the pack. I arrange a meet and greet with the pet and owner to understand the pet's routine, preferences, and any special needs. I am Pet CPR and Safety certifiied and make your pet's safety and security a top priority.

“Emily was AMAZING!! Very friendly and accomodating, and frequently kept me updated. Athena was even immediately comfortable with Emily's husband, which *never* happens because she is wary of men. We used the same sitter in Asheville for almost two years, and Athena rarely acknowledged her husband. Emily and her husband made a great team watching after Athena, making sure she was well-exercised and cared for, and even sweet Kitana got involved :) I can't say enough positive things about this family and our experience. We used them for an entire week and will book again soon!”

“Amanda took great care of Ruthie while we were at the NP. She loved being able to run and play with the other dogs. Would highly recommend her!”

Leslie C.

“Lisa was wonderful with my dog! She was able to watch her for daycare after I booked last minute. Great communication and sent me photos throughout the day! Would definitely trust her with my dog again :)”

Amanda L.

“Adam es el mejor, se preocupó mucho por el bienestar de Bella y nos mantuvo informados con fotos y videos todo el tiempo! Es mi primera vez dejando a mi bebé con alguien y estaba indecisa pero Adam hizo que nos sintiéramos muy tranquilos durante todo el día. Gracias gracias!!”

About: Being raised on a farm, I have cared for animals my whole life! My experience, love, and attention ensure that your dog feels safe, loved, and happy always! As a full-time graduate student at WCU with a flexible schedule, I can provide reliable pet care, including walks, visits, and possible overnight stays to fit all your needs. I am comfortable caring for your dogs in your home and can transport them based on size. My friendly black lab loves to play and can provide companionship for your fur baby!

About: What sets me apart is that pet care is a passion I truly love animals of all kinds—big or small, energetic or laid-back, quirky or shy. Caring for pets isn’t just something i do, it’s part of my daily life. I treat every animal like part of our family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, a relaxing walk, or just quiet companionship, we’re tuned in to each pet’s unique personality and Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I’m currently in online nursing school, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be home the majority of the time. This means I can provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day—whether that’s regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just being there to keep your pet company. Because I’m not tied to a strict 9–5 schedule, I can easily adjust to meet your pet’s specific needs and routine. Whether your pet is high-energy and needs lots of stimulation or prefers a calm, relaxed environment, I’m here to give them the love and attention they deserve. In my home, pets receive consistent, loving care in a calm and safe environment. Since I’m home most of the time thanks to my flexible online nursing school schedule, I’m able to give pets the attention they need throughout the day—whether that’s sticking to their usual feeding and potty schedule, offering playtime, or just being there for cuddles and companionship. I’m very adaptable to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and quiet, or somewhere in between, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take time to learn their unique preferences and adjust my care to match what makes them happiest. Your pet’s well-being is always my priority, and I treat every animal in my home like family.

“Helga was very responsive and willing to watch my dog Shelley while we were in town for the day. Would use her again for dog sitting!”

Jessica R.

“Kailey was an excellent sitter! Our dogs got along and had a great time. She and her son were very sweet and I would book her again to care for Athena.”

Lisa O.

“Christal was great! My pup, who is often initially sad when we leave her with a sitter, loved Christal immediately and had a great time. She went above and beyond, taking my dog on a long walk at Forest Park. Wish I was a local so I could re-book!”

About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs ever since I can remember. I’m very keen on the comfort of your pet and respecting their boundaries. My two young girls are with their dad every other week; I only accept bookings on the weeks I don’t have my girls. I promise to love your fur baby just like my own and have clear and consistent communication while paying attention to any special needs your pet might have. I’m currently working from home as a freelance translator, so I have plenty of time to help you achieve your pet care needs. I also have a part time job a few days a week. I live right up the road from a local park with lots of open grass; I’m on a fitness journey so I will happily run and play with your pet as much as needed. I have a young cat that can keep your pet company and if need be, I can always enclose him in my room.
