Doggy Day Care Cape Carteret

“My kiddos wanted to go to the waterpark before returning home from our beach vacation but my fur baby wouldn’t be allowed…. Lucky, I was able to find Jessica last minute thru Rover and everything worked out perfectly! I’d never used Rover before and was a bit nervous to entrust a stranger with my lil girl but I ended up being worried for nothing! Lola loved her play date with Jessica’s fur baby, Peanut, and having some time out of the hot sun! Thanks Jessica, you are amazing! I’ll definitely hit you up next time we visit Emerald Isle!”

About: • All breeds, temperaments, sizes & quirks • Administering medications • Decade of dog care and training experience Hi, I’m Kylie! I’ve been working with dogs for over a decade, including time spent learning under and alongside professional dog trainers. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and quirks. I run my services out of my home, where every dog is treated like family. We’ve created a dedicated dog room designed for comfort, structure, and relaxation, giving pups their own safe space when needed. Our fully fenced-in yard provides plenty of room for supervised play, exercise, and fresh air, so your dog can enjoy a balance of activity and downtime. I do my best to keep each pup’s daily routine as close to their at-home schedule as possible, which helps them feel comfortable and lowers stress. My care is always personalized—whether your dog needs extra playtime, calm companionship, or structured guidance, I adjust to fit their needs. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I make sure every pet in my care feels loved, secure, and well taken care of. During the day, dogs in my care follow a balanced and structured routine designed to keep them happy, comfortable, and engaged. Potty breaks are offered every two hours (unless an owner requests otherwise), giving each pup plenty of chances to go outside and stretch their legs. Playgroups are always supervised and matched based on each dog’s likes, dislikes, and play style, so social time is safe and enjoyable. Mini training sessions can be worked into the day upon request, reinforcing good manners and keeping pups mentally stimulated. To help dogs recharge, I include structured nap times where they can relax in a calm environment. And of course, there’s plenty of time to hang out with humans—whether that’s lounging on the furniture for snuggles or just enjoying companionship. This balance of activity, rest, and affection ensures every dog feels at home while staying with me. As a stay at home wife my entire day is structured around our own dogs and our visiting dogs. In my home we do boarding and daycare! Boarding dogs are on a slightly different schedule than daycare dogs, as they’re with me all day instead of only during the day. Boarding dogs routines vary based off energy level, temperament and their usual routine at their own homes. Depending on the dogs temperament and who they get along with we swap play groups around just to ensure the best time for everyone! All dogs in my home are treated like family. I’d want my own dogs to be treated as such during boarding or daycare, so it makes sense that i treat all client dogs the same.

“Amanda was absolutely amazing! She cared for my two huskies with their little quirks perfectly! She is super accommodating and her three dogs are fabulous! Anyone who stays with her should know how much fun their pups will have!”

“Addison did a fantastic job with Scout. She provided top-notch care, communicated well, and sent plenty of updates throughout the stay. It’s obvious that she makes visiting pets feel safe and comfortable. I felt completely confident leaving my dog in her hands and will definitely use her services again!”

About: I been around animals my whole life. I work from home and can be available for all your pet needs. I have a large fenced in back yard! I work from home and hardly ever leave the house during the day. I take breaks throughout my work day to play in the yard with my dogs. I have a fenced backyard and a safe neighborhood to take dogs on walks. I like play time in the back yard and walks around the neighborhood with the dogs.

About: Dogs, cats, birds, and fish . . . These are some of the best friends I’ve had over the last 45 years. All of my pets have lived long, healthy lives based on excellent feeding, grooming, and regular medical care. I genuinely love animals and have a very watchful eye on their well-being. I am a retired school administrator with a 36-year history of creating productive learning environments and protecting the lives of thousands of school children. Care-taking is my thing. Now, I have a very flexible schedule/calendar, and I am wide open to opportunities to meet and care for animals of all shapes, sizes, and colors. I am available to follow instructions for drop-in or pet/house-sitting in the client’s home—including feeding and letting dogs out for potty breaks, feeding and checking in on cats, and feeding fish or birds.

About: I can’t remember a time I didn’t have a dog. I love to play with them and do anything I can to keep them happy. We’ve got our own house with a fenced in back yard. I am a stay at home mom as well. My kids loves to be outside, so we’ll get plenty of play time! I treat the dogs I watch as they’re my own. Give as much cuddles and play time as they want/need. I will meet all the requirements requested and anything else the dog/owner may need.

“I highly recommend Meg and her wonderful dog Wrigley! Meg communicates quickly, her home is very dog friendly, she loves dogs and my Golden Retriever was happy and secure under her care.”

About: I work from home, so your pup gets constant care and company. I have experience with both playful puppies and gentle senior dogs, tailoring my care to their needs. Plus, our friendly dog makes every guest feel right at home! I’m able to give pets attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. Morning and evening walks, yard play sessions, and plenty of snuggles are built right into my routine—so your pet will feel loved and cared for every moment they’re here. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, comfortable environment with a fully fenced yard for outdoor time and plenty of supervised play. I follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, and rest to help them feel at home. They get lots of attention, exercise, and snuggles—plus playtime with our friendly dog if they’re social. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and stick to the same schedule, rules, and routines their pet is used to. My goal is always to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is that I actually stick to your pet’s routine and pay attention to the little things. I also don’t mind helping taking care of exotic pets because I am trying to be an Exotics/Wildlife Veterinarian and have always had a passion for exotics, so I’ll be more than happy to help! I’ve helped with puppy training like potty reinforcing basic commands, but I am always willing to learn any crate training or potty training. I’m also comfortable with senior pups and making sure they get extra patience, slower walks, or medications if needed but I will need to learn how to administer your pup’s medication. I always send updates and photos so you know your pups are happy and taken care of. Pet care fits really well into my routine since I’m mostly available in the afternoons. I usually plan my classes and responsibilities earlier in the day, so afternoons are open for walks, drop-ins, feedings, and playtime. It works out great because I can give pets my full attention without feeling rushed, and I’m able to stay consistent with their schedule. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding and walk schedules, give them plenty of attention, and respect their personality and space. I’m also very respectful of the home and always send updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.

About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds since I was a little girl. Animals hold a special place in my heart, and I love to be around them as much as I can. I work at Adoption First Animal Clinic, so I am very familiar with animals of all shapes and sizes. So, your dog or cat is in good hands🤍 The more dogs the more merrier!🐶🐾 Currently, I am not working so I will have plenty of time to play with your furry friends. My weekly routine will consist of focusing on your pups while you're away. Also, living a very active lifestyle makes me more than happy to go on as many long walks as necessary. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a nice backyard full of green grass and trees for your dog to smell. To add, a small patio area where my friendly dog and I catch some sun. Also, I feed the pet according to the owner's instructions, ensuring they have access to fresh water at all times. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walking, and other activities to minimize stress for the pet. Additionally, the pet owner is always informed about their pet's well-being through regular updates, photos, and messages.

“When my AC broke in the middle of the night, I had to find last-minute daycare for my dog. I sent Clayton a message at 4 in the morning for a 730 drop off, and he replied and accepted my request within 5 mins. My dog is almost 13 and has been nervous around other dogs ever since he was attacked a few years ago. I was really hesitant about leaving him somewhere new, but Clayton’s reviews gave me confidence. And when we arrived, my dog walked in calmly and didn’t seem scared at all even with other dogs around. Clayton’s own dogs were so gentle and sweet, and mine quickly made a new best friend. Clayton stayed in touch throughout the day and sent lots of photos. My dog looked relaxed, happy, and like he was truly having fun. You can tell Clayton genuinely cares and treats your pets like his own. I won’t trust anyone else with my dog from now on.”

“Samantha came in clutch with a last minute day care request! She is very responsive and sweet. Davey enjoyed his stay and we will definitely be rebooking again in the future.”
