Doggy Day Care in Balsam Grove

About: I have been around all types of animals and pets my whole life. I don't mind taking care of any type of pet you may have from babys to seniors, cats of all breeds and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I’m also good with taking care of other domestic pets, exotic pets and farm animals. I only work part time so I have a lot of extra time to care for animals and enjoy being outdoors walking, biking and hiking. I can also just enjoy sitting on the porch with a cat in my lap and a dog at my feet. I have a fully fenced in yard for dogs to run and play in. We have a back deck that can be closed off for playtime. Inside we have room for play and crate time if needed. My house is open and available for fur babies to relax, run, play and have pet beds for sunbathing or relaxing.

“Jennie was amazing! We were in town to camp and mountain bike and had to make some last minute adjustments due to weather. She was so flexible and accommodating we almost couldn't believe it! We hope to be back and would definitely use Jennie again.”

“Wow, Elizabeth has been Amazing! We have not had a better experience with sitters for Chip. Elizabeth and her family are so welcoming and accommodating of our schedule while in NC on vacation. If dogs could talk I’m sure Chip would share the same sentiments. It is always a great comfort to know your dog is well looked after when you are away from home and they can’t be with you.”

“Lacie was absolutely wonderful to our Cockapoo, Biscuit. We did day care in her home and she has a house perfectly suited to having animals and a huge fenced yard. She clearly loves animals and I’m so glad I found her. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I contacted Amy short notice asking if she could watch Minnie for a few hours because I was going somewhere and couldn’t bring her with me (was visiting from out of town). She agreed to watch her immediately. I barely had to wait for a reply! We really appreciate Amy. She took good care of Minnie and even gave her a cute gift bag with treats.”

About: I’m a retired teacher and I am able to keep a flexible schedule. I welcome the opportunity to take care of your dog as I’m healthy & active! I have owned many dogs in the past, and I now have a chocolate lab. June is really sweet. She gets along well with other dogs, and children. I live in a nice/safe neighborhood and have reliable transportation. I have a large fenced in area off the back of my house (deck and grass). I have stairs going from my upper deck to the lawn, so your dog will need to be able to safely navigate the steps. If I am boarding a dog I will not take in for day care. I only take one dog at at time unless they are from the same family. I have Ring Cameras installed on my front porch, backyard and in my living/dining areas. I am a retired teacher and can adapt my schedule to meet the needs of your fur baby. That is the beauty of retirement… no schedule! I have a large fenced in backyard that can accommodate ball play and daily fun outside play. I have a nice sun porch and decks that dogs love! I take only one dog at a time unless they are from the same family.

“Emily and Ryan were great with our dog! So happy our dog was in such good hands.”

Cindy S.

“We were initially apprehensive about leaving our anxious pup at doggie daycare, but upon meeting Jaren, our worries melted away. Their fenced-in, lush green yard, complete with a variety of dog toys, immediately reassured us. We were warmly greeted by their adorable mini Aussie Shepherd, Bowie, who quickly became fast friends with our dog, Dale. Meeting Ann and their other two friendly doggies only reinforced the welcoming atmosphere. The easygoing nature of the household made drop-offs and pick-ups effortless. Dale returned home pleasantly tired from a day of play, without feeling overwhelmed.”

About: This is my first time being without a pet, so I’m excited to get my furry-friend fix! I’ve always had dogs and cats in my home and love pups of all sizes and personalities. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily accommodate your needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pet like my own! Since I work from home, I’m available throughout the day to keep your pet company and make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I’m very attentive and experienced with pups who need a little extra care or attention. I live in a condo with plenty of nearby green space that’s perfect for walks and playtime. If your pet stays with me, they’ll get lots of outdoor time and attention in between! When I care for your dog in your home, I’ll follow your usual routine and walking routes so everything feels familiar and comfortable for them.

“Carrie was awesome to see my sweet pup so last minute!!! He has sooo much energy & was pooped by the end of the day, I can’t tell he had a ton of fun!”

“Cara was wonderful working with our schedule. She gave updates and pictures of our Buddy's day. Cara was quick to respond to communications. Buddy came home happy boy. I will definitely use Cara again. Very happy customer.”

“Ms Mary was incredibly patient and loving with Rooster the 3 days she watched him. He was very nervous but she took the time to let him get comfortable, which made things so much easier and less stressful for both Rooster and I. Would recommend Ms Mary any day.”

About: My name is Mac Graf and my husband and I live right outside Hendersonville, NC. I am a certified and licensed athletic trainer and am the Director of Sports Medicine as my full-time job. I work 90% of my job from home, and would love to help take the stress off your work day by allowing your fur family to hangout with me and my family for the day. I take my work seriously whether that be with my patients or with my fur friends. I fostered dogs throughout undergrad to give me more experience and make a change in an animal's life. I ended up adopting one of my foster dogs in 2020 and it was the best decision i've ever made! I rescued another dog in February of 2023, so I have lots of personal dog experience. I understand that having a dog is not just having a pet, but it is another family member. I treat them as such. With my experience as a foster, and being a pet owner myself - I know that I am responsible and loving towards all animals. I would love nothing more than to help take the stress off other dog owners, and help take care of them when needed. Since my job is 90% remote work, I have the flexibility to take my dogs on a walk or play outside in the fenced in area of our home multiple times a day. Throughout the work day they go outside multiple times - usually with a longer walk at the end of my work day. I ask the person I am dog sitting for what they want, and I always accommodate to whatever makes my client feel most comfortable with! We have two baby gates at home, so if we ever need to separate dogs in our home, we have the ability to do so. I always will be respectful of my clients and whatever their wishes are.

“Megan was awesome! She clearly loves her own pets. I appreciated that she let our dog inside the house and on the bed with her for snuggles. We got lots of photo updates. Her yard is large and fenced in as well.”

“Calvin was a wonderful dog sitter for a whole week. I was instantly comfortable with his demeanor and professionalism. I knew my dogs were in good hands.”
