Doggy Day Care in Catawba

About: I have taken care of my household dogs for over 20 years now. I joined the military in 2016 as a dog trainer and instantly fell in love with the profession. When I separated from the military in 2022, I continued to board pets as well as train dogs for private companies as well as for my business. This is my full time job, so it is not about how your pet fits into my schedule because my schedule revolves around your pets! I live in a 3 level home where I have one level dedicated to boarding and training. So it’s plenty of space to run around inside, or outside on my 1.3 acre lot. I will provide continuous updates and transparent communication.

“Papito loves spending time with Lawrence and Gabby. They have calm, positive energy and he always comes back happy. He's pretty headstrong and very high energy and it always feels like Lawrence and Gabby truly enjoy and appreciate him, which makes it easy not to worry about leaving him for a night or weekend. Plus they always send great artistic-quality pics of his time with them. We feel lucky to have found them.”

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.

“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: Hello! I'm a stay-at-home mom with two dogs and one cat. In addition to taking care of my own pets, I have fostered numerous dogs of all sizes and ages. My specialty is medium to large, active dogs who need exercise. I enjoy running and hiking, so if you have a dog who needs outdoor time, please contact me! I also have experience with sick animals who need special care. I have nursed several dogs back to health, including fosters and the strays who find me. I'm available to visit your home for your pet's needs, to feed, walk, administer medication, as well as provide transportation to vet appointments. Our house has extra rooms to board and babysit pets. There is plenty of space in our yard and neighborhood for walks, running, and playtime. I'm excited to meet you and your pet to see how I can be there for you! I'm a stay-at-home mom to three older/independent kids and a baby. I am looking forward to getting out of the house to walk your dogs, provide drop-in care, and/or dogsitting and boarding at my home. I have worked with rescue dogs with violent backgrounds or stress from the shelter. I can read their body language and make sure they are comfortable with me and our environment. Your dog will stay on a leash unless we are in a fenced area. My backyard is fenced in, and I have a finished basement with kennels if your dog needs a quiet place. My two dogs are very friendly, so if your dog is interested in playing, they will be introduced. My dogs are up-to-date on their vaccines.

“Katherine was great. As a first time dog-mom, she put all my fears at ease by answering any questions I had and my pup had a great time! Will definitely be using Katherine in the future.”

About: My family jokes that I was raised by animals. 🤣 I have had pets since I was born, and considered them my best friends. I have had jobs in dog grooming, some experience in training, volunteered at my local SPCA & even became a full time artist selling commissioned pet portraits! Everything about furry animals & waggy tails brings me immense joy and happiness. Animals calm my soul. Today, I have 3 of the most spoiled doggo’s out there. I narrate their thoughts, talk to them like they’re babies, and they are even insta-famous! I work hard so my dogs can have a better life. I have experience in housecleaning so I regularly entered people’s homes. Rest assured, I’ll leave your house the way I found it (maybe better if I see an animal mess that needs tending to). I’ll treat your home like my own. I have responsibilities Tuesday- Friday from noon- 1:00, however I’m available before or after. Ideally, I am looking for regular clients that consistently need someone to hang out with their fur babies. I would meet you and your fur baby, and get a lay of the land. If you need me to feed them, water them, give treats, I would just need to know where to access them. For cats, if you need me to clean the litter box, I would just need to know where the bags, & scooper are. Also where you’d like the waste disposed.

“Absolutely loved the communication and all the videos and updates throughout the day for coopers doggy day care visit! This was his first time doing something like this and I will continue to use Stephanie!!”

About: I've had animals since I was a child and have taken care of them all of my adult life. I have personally fostered over 75 dogs through to their adoptions! I'm a trusted caregiver who can handle animals of all sizes, ages, abilities and temperaments! I love getting to know each animal's personality and how to best take care of them! With several dogs and a cat at home, I am always in pet care mode (and know how important it is to find a trusted sitter). Whether it is a drop-in or a boarding situation, I treat each pet like they are my own. (Also, our cat has his own "wing" of our home so he is not interacting with any visiting dogs.) We have two friendly, large dogs, Tennessee & Tucky who have been foster brothers to over 75 dogs of all sizes and ages. Having fostered so many dogs, I recognize that each animal is unique and I enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and how to best care for them. Whether the animals are in my house or their own, I will follow the owners' instructions and manage expectations so there are as few surprises as possible. I know how worrisome it can be to leave your pet(s) in the care of another, and I pride myself on making sure the animals are taken care of and enjoy themselves.

About: Hi! I’m McKenzie and I’m a full-time Rover sitter with over 4 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Because pet care is my full-time focus, your pets will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and love throughout the day. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always make sure they stay on their normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands! Pet care is part of my daily routine because I’m currently working full-time through Rover, which means I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I make sure to structure my day around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and relaxation time so they stay comfortable and happy while you’re away. I truly love spending time with animals, so caring for them doesn’t feel like work to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take seriously. My goal is always to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they are closely supervised and kept on their normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime so they feel relaxed and secure. I love spending time outdoors with dogs for walks, exercise, and playtime, but I always make sure pets are leashed and safely supervised when outside. My yard is currently not fenced in, so I prioritize safe neighborhood walks and structured outdoor time to keep pets active and happy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would want for my own home, while making sure their pets stick to the routines they’re used to. Communication is also very important to me, so I’m happy to follow any special instructions and provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for.
