Doggy Day Care in Bells Crossroads

“After my first visit to Julia's house, speaking with her, and seeing her great fenced yard and the way her home is set up, I am so comfortable with leaving our pup Annabelle in Julia's hands. We did one day of doggy day care because I'm a nervous dog momma who wanted to make sure it was going to work out before leaving Annabelle overnight for an upcoming trip we have. She came home tired and very happy!!! I Ioved getting to see pics of how much fun she was having with her new dog friends running and playing. I am confident she felt so loved throughout the day. We will definitely take her to Julia's again!”

“Derek was amazing. My dogs are pretty reluctant to leave me, and they were pulling me right to Derek's door the second day he watched them. They had an absolute blast with Derek and enjoyed so much outdoor time and love. I will definitely be using Derek again in the future!”

“Donna ajd Calvin are absolutely amazing. They helped out so much with Charlie. And he absolutely loves going to their home and being around all the other dogs. I know he is well taken care with them. Ms. Donna is very communicative and always sends me updates throughout the day. Couldn't ask for better people to watch Charlie while I'm at work. We'll definitely be using their services again. And their prices are very affordable and reasonable.”

“Danika is the best! Her family treats my pup like family and you can tell by how excited she gets when we get to her house- she practically busts through the door. I love that she gets an opportunity to play with her new little puppy. The pictures of them playing together is Gold. Thank you, Danika!”

“Gabrielle was wonderful with Sunnie! She was available last minute and we really appreciate that! Sunnie seemed very comfortable with her and she was well cared for. We will definitely leave Sunnie with Gabrielle again. She updated us and provided photos during Sunnie’s stay :)”

“What a fabulous experience this was I could not be more happy. I had never left my little one before. This wasn’t my first time and I can tell she had an awesome experience. I did not wanna leave her alone because we were out of town. It would have to leave her alone all day long this way we only had to leave her for three hours Usually when I come back she’s shaking and crying and very sad if I were to leave her alone. When I came to pick her up from Julie she was happy and playful and wonderful. The care she received was excellent. Julie ‘s home was clean and inviting and safe for my baby. I will recommend her to everyone. We are going out of town for a week and I was gonna take my baby with me and find Care out there, but I’ve decided I’m going to leave her with Julie because she could not be more capable of caring for puppies than anybody I’ve ever known Thank you, Julie for being so wonderful to my baby. Can’t wait to work with you again. I come once a week to see my son at college and now I have a little drop in for my baby.”

“Alexis is amazing! I was in town visiting for a week and looking for a sitter that could watch my pup while I had a few beach days. She was very communicative, flexible and my pup loved hanging out at her house. I highly recommend her as a sitter and will definitely reach back out if we are ever in town again.”

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!

“I don’t have enough words for how amazing our experience has been with Karen. She is very experienced and it shows in how well her dog is trained and how she takes care of ours. We set up a initial meet & greet with Karen to see how well our dogs would get along. I was a little nervous because our pup is smaller but Karen’s dog harmony is so well trained and gentle with him my worries were quickly relieved. Karen is amazing with our 4.5 month old pup he loves going to daycare she keeps him on a routine with multiple walks, playtime, naps, food breaks, and potty breaks. He came home a very happy pup. We will definitely be rebooking.”

About: I am a registered nurse currently staying at home with my two children. I am a huge dog lover and am looking to make some extra income while staying home with my babies. I grew up in a household that always had dogs as part of the family and have a lot of experience taking care of dogs. My family bred our labs and our golden retrievers so I have experience with puppies as well. Each liter had about ten puppies and it was my responsibility to take them out, feed them, clean up after them and of course show them extra love and play with them. I want to be able to give families peace of mind that there pet is in good hands when I am caring for them. Thank you in advance. I am a stay at home mom and we spend almost all of our time at our home. We love to go outside and play in the backyard frequently. My schedule is extremely flexible. I am a stay at home mom that spends almost all my time at home with my children. We have a safe, child proof home that is also extremely accommodating to pets as well. We have a spacious yard and have more than enough time to love and care for your sweet pet as needed. My children have so much joy being around animals as I do.

About: I’m a dog lover with one very sweet pup, Goose. I recently lost my beloved pittie, DJ, and while I’m not ready to bring a second dog into my family full-time just yet, I do miss having a second set of paws in the house. That’s why I started Rover. It felt like a beautiful way to share my home, help another family, and bring some joy back into my daily routine. I work from home, so your dog will have constant company, plenty of attention, and a peaceful, structured environment. Goose and I do two walks a day (morning and evening, when it’s not too hot!) around the quiet pond in my neighborhood. I have a spacious house with lots of room to play, sunbathe, and snooze. And yes, the dogs are absolutely allowed on the couch, the bed, and pretty much wherever they feel comfy. My backyard isn’t fully fenced, but I use long 20-foot staked leashes so the dogs can safely run, lounge, and soak up the sun while I hang out with them outside. What sets me apart? I really love dogs. Like, more than most humans. I treat every dog like my own, with gentleness, attention, and a deep respect for their routines, quirks, and needs. Goose is the ultimate host: calm, kind, and respectful with every pup he meets. Whether your dog needs space, playtime, meds, or just someone to sit with them while they nap, I’m here for it! Pet care is part of my everyday routine. I work from home, so your pup will have constant company, whether they want to play, nap nearby, or just follow me around like the world’s cutest coworker. Goose and I do two walks a day (morning and evening) around the pond in my neighborhood. During the day, I hang outside with the dogs for short breaks using 20-foot staked leashes so they can safely sniff, sunbathe, and stretch their legs. Inside, my home is peaceful, spacious, and fully dog-friendly. Couches, beds, and sunny windows are all fair game. I don’t use a crate by default, but if that’s part of your dog’s routine, I’m happy to include it — just bring theirs along. Your pup will be treated like one of my own. Loved, safe, and never left alone for long. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I only host one dog at a time (or one family of dogs), so your pup will never be overwhelmed or competing for attention. If it’s your first time booking with me, I like to schedule a quick meet-and-greet to make sure your dog and Goose get along. He’s incredibly sweet and respectful, but I want everyone to feel safe and comfortable before a stay. I supervise all outdoor time. My yard isn’t fenced, but I use 20-foot staked leashes so the dogs can safely lounge and sniff while I’m outside with them. Inside, it’s a calm, cozy, dog-friendly home. Couches, beds, and sunny spots are all fair game. I’ll keep your pup’s routine consistent: feeding schedules, crate time (if needed, just bring yours), and any medication they need. Whatever they’re used to, I’ll stick to it. You’ll get regular updates and plenty of cute photos, and your dog will be treated like one of my own.

“Stacie was a great sitter! Kept me informed throughout the day, loved the pictures she sent. Dune got along well with her dogs, she liked playing in the large yard and the pool! Stacie was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. Would definitely recommend her as a sitter. Will be booking her again!”

“Colby & Debbie are wonderful to work with. They take great care of my puppy & always send plenty of photos to ease my mind. They have so kindly adapted to her little puppy needs & pay close attention to how she is feeling. I look forward to bringing her to their home because I know that Albie will have a blast being loved all day & playing with their pups while I also can focus on work without worrying. They are wonderful & I absolutely trust their care!”

About: I’ve been volunteering at animal shelters since I was 10 years old. I have bathed, fed and taken care of dogs, cats and bunnies in a professional setting. I am well versed in animal body language and I am amazing at following instructions to the letter. I am currently working from home on my Etsy shop as my main source of income. So I am always going to be available for any home boarding times. Pet sitting in the home can be arranged as well. Pets are allowed to roam the house if they choose to, but i spend most of my working in the living room, so they usually choose to stay there 😊. I go on at least one long walk a day, and 3 short walks. So at least 4 walks in total unless more are requested and I have a large communal outdoor area outside my door so if a dog is unable to walk long distances, I can absolutely accommodate that as well.

About: I have a fairly large background in animal care, it has always been a passion of mine - specifically dogs & horses. I take pride in how well I care for animals. I do not have a fenced yard yet but the dogs will be strictly supervised on a leash when outside of my home. I have 1.2 acres and a great neighborhood for walks. I will gladly work on in home manners with your dog/s while in my care as I believe training should be daily and enjoyable! I work part time and also own a photography business so my schedule is pretty flexible for dog sitting. I do this primarily cause my dog loves to have a friend over and since we are out in the country there are not too many other dogs for her to play with nearby. - Dogs are ALWAYS supervised and on a leash when outside of my house. - Dogs must be up to date on all shots. - Dogs are to be crated when my direct attention is not on them or if I need to go run a quick errand. This is never for longer than 2 hours. I have two large crates. - Dogs are crated at bed time. Usually around 9pm-7am. This may vary depending on dog's usual schedule. - Dogs have daily individualized walks. - I will help instill everyday manners & any sort of training help you may need. - Of course treats & cuddles daily! - I have a TON of references, you may ask me for the list!

About: Hi, I’m Christa! I’m a 33-year-old passionate animal caretaker with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from dogs and cats to rabbits, ducks, chickens, and even horses. I grew up surrounded by pets and have always felt at home with animals of all shapes and sizes. I currently live on a spacious, half-acre fenced-in lot, giving your fur baby plenty of room to run, play, and enjoy the outdoors safely. I share my home with my two friendly lab mixes—Bear (13) and Goose (3 months)—as well as two sweet cats, Meera and Jojen. My dogs are well-socialized and get along great with other pups. I also have a degree in biology, where I took several animal-focused courses that deepened my understanding of animal behavior, health, and care. This background helps me provide thoughtful, informed, and attentive care for all kinds of pets. Thanks for stopping by—I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet like one of my own! Since I work remotely on my own schedule training AI models, I’m home most of the day and can easily give your pet the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. In my home, I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I stick to their usual routines for feeding, play, and rest, and offer plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. I do slow introductions with my own pets to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible.
