Doggy Day Care in Catawba

About: I'm a dedicated pet enthusiast with over three decades of experience looking after my own loyal companions, from pup to pooch! I've also got the stamina and soothing energy needed for walking and caring for neighborhood dogs when their owners are away. My furry friends seem to know it too, which makes me smile just thinking about those cuddles and wags they give in return! With the flexibility of running my own business, I'm able to always be available for you on weekdays between 8am and 2pm, plus extra hours as needed. I ensure home entrances are secure, keeping them from running into danger when leaving or entering. I give lots of affection as I attend to making sure they have adequate food and water. And daily walks full of fun that consider size & age.

“Cristy is always kind and I can appreciate her love for our fur babies. I know that my Rocco is in great hands when he is in her house🥰”

“Kathalene is a dog lover and animal lover! She took lots of pictures and a video and kept me well informed about Riley’s first stay! Riley enjoyed her time and we will return sometime soon, I’m sure! Thanks for taking such good care of my girl!🥰”

About: Every dog that stays with us quickly feels like a sort of our family. We have had dogs our whole life. We can take your dogs on up to a 3 mile walk a day as requested. We love animals and have been dog sitting for years. Please stick to and communicate clearly with drop off and pick up times so I can schedule my daughters naps/mealtimes etc. I am a stay at home mom who just takes care of the babies and pets. My job is to make the day fun and take care of everyone. I have two friendly dogs that are large but love to play with other puppies. I have two children who are very used to being around animals.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was five years old, and pets have been a huge part of my life ever since. Over the years, I’ve had both dogs and cats, which has given me a deep understanding of their unique personalities and needs. I have hands-on experience with administering medications and caring for pets with medical conditions — including my own dog, who required special attention after surgery and while healing from a broken leg. I know how important it is to be patient, gentle, and attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. As a registered nurse, I work three days a week and only accept pet care bookings on my days off to ensure your pet gets my full, undivided attention. When I’m with your pet, they’re my top priority — whether that means walks, playtime, medication, or just lots of love and cuddles. I plan my schedule carefully so I can give each pet the dedicated care they deserve. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood with plenty of space for safe, enjoyable walks and outdoor play. While my yard is not fenced in, all outdoor time is fully supervised to ensure your pet’s safety. Inside, my spacious three-story home gives pets plenty of room to explore and relax. I use baby gates to safely manage movement between floors and create secure areas for rest or play. I do not accept aggressive pets, as safety and comfort—for both your pet and mine—are my top priorities. Your pet will be in a calm, loving environment where they can feel right at home.

“Natalie was great. She accommodated our last minute booking and us running a little late.”

About: All pets are always treated as family members. They have access to the entire house, sleep in the bed and go outside anytime they want. My schedule is very flexible as I work from home. I do spend a lot of time outside with them and taking them for walk to get their exercise. I also send pictures and video throughout the stay so you can enjoy your vacation. I have a fenced yard, pool and trampoline where all pets can enjoy their day. I also have 4 dogs so they will have a playmates.

“Kelsey did a great job. Cocoa enjoyed himself.”

“We had the most perfect day because of the most perfect dog sitter. We came to town and we were a little desperate because we had an unexpected day of plans with our family and no 12 take care of the dog. Bethany and her husband were so gracious and kind and their home is perfect. Our little daisy felt comfortable right away and so did we. Thank you for your kindness and assistance.”

About: I've been caring for pets for 10 years and have assisted many individuals with things like walking, feeding, playing, caring, and giving attention. I will treat your baby well. I am completely available because babysitting furbabies is my full-time job. I work around your pet's schedule to ensure that their needs are met, and I follow them wherever they go to assure their complete safety. I always make an effort to be on time for all of their requirements. I am home full time to ensure all of your pets needs are met every bit of the way. To make sure they are cared for loved and feel at home I ensure your pet's safety by accompanying them wherever they go. I engage with them all day. I enjoy playing with them, running around, throwing a ball, walking them, and, if it's a cat, playing with their cat toys with them. I stick to the timetable when the owner informs me when they need to be fed and when they need to go out, but I may take them out every hour or two hours if required. I do listen to the creatures' needs, and their safety is a high priority.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was around 12 years old, I love being around them and showing them love and care as well. I currently have a super free schedule so it will be no problem taking are of animals any time of day I usually just take care of the 1 dog I have. I have a fenced yard and a super friendly dog, she is small and doesn’t really bother anyone, her name is chi chi. I’m sure she will get along with any dog

“Kaylynne is such a SWEET young lady! We had to leave early to get up to Swannanoa where we were helping yesterday and she allowed me to drop our dog off before 8. My dog is still completely in puppy brain mode at 10 months old. She won’t run off at home as I use a training leash and she is focused on what we are doing and playing when I release her on to run and bring back her toy or visit our neighbor’s dog Our Puppy became anxious around 3 yesterday and she apparently remembered how to crawl up a fence like she did in her exercise corral months ago and she jumped over. She ran towards the road and Kaylynne tried to coax her back. Our dog had become anxious, Kahlynne explained, as it was her first time in doggie daycare. Kahlynne ended up calling me and I asked her to put me on speaker phone. I was able to call out and speak to our pup. It helped her to come back towards Kajlynne where she was able to take hold of her. She kept my precious fur baby in her house until I got back down the Mtn as fast as I could. I truly appreciate Kaylynne and all she did. Her own dogs are so sweet and she has a large fenced in backyard area where the dogs are free to run and play.”

“Summer was awesome! I messaged her last minute late friday night and she was able to watch my pup on Sunday while I worked all day. She sent pics, and text updates throughout the day and made me feel comfortable leaving Kaia with her. It was nice that she also had a dog around the same size as mine so they could play together. We will definitely use her again! Thanks Summer!”

About: I love dogs and what they bring to our life! Your pup will hang out with a friendly and energetic 5-year old Golden Retriever, his name is Tango and he is great with other dogs! We have a large fenced in yard and we spend lots of time playing ball and chasing squirrels. I work from home and have plenty of time to take care of your pup. I only host one family at a time to make sure I give plenty of attention. I live in a neighborhood with lots of pet friendly walking areas. I have a large fenced in yard and pups are welcome in all living spaces at the house. They are allowed in beds and couches. If your pup is used to sleep in a crate, please bring it with you! For the safety of Tango and other dogs I do require a copy of vaccine records as well as flea, tick and heartworm preventive all being up-to-date.

About: Leave your pets with me guilt free knowing they’ll be loved and cared for while you’re gone. I work from home and have a lifetime of experience with dogs of all breeds, character, and temperaments. I have a lot of experience specifically with boxers, bulldogs, pitbulls, chihuahuas, border collies, german shepards, cane corsos, rottweilers, labs, doodles, and golden retrievers. I currently have a 7 year old small mixed breed dog who loves other dogs but she also is respectful of their space if they aren’t interested in playing with her. I also love to run so if your pup likes to run and is good on a leash, I’ll make sure they get some good exercise in, and are treated with all the love and care possible. So if you want your furbaby to have a fun vacation while you have fun on yours, book with me! I currently work from home so you never have to worry about your furbabies being lonely or left alone for longer than a trip to the grocery store, which I would ensure they are in a crate or kept gated in a separate room while I’m gone. I also have a 7 year old mixed breed pup who is about 30 lbs, as well as a 4 year old cat who are both great with other animals. I have a two bedroom house so I can easily separate any animals if necessary. I also have baby gates to make introductions smoother. I have a large yard but it is not fenced in so I will ensure they are on a leash every time I take them outside. I take my dog on daily walks and will happily take your pup on separate daily walks as well to ensure they get the best care possible.

“Keith was great and helped us out when we wanted to go out to dinner for a few hours! He watched our sweet pup Noomi and kept us updated with pictures and videos! Thanks Keith, we will for sure book again!!”
