Doggy Day Care in Chapel Hill

About: I grew up with dogs and I’ve always had dogs in my adult life. I have approx 14 years experience fostering all ages and all breeds of dogs for the animal shelter and various dog rescues. I also provided basic obedience training during their stay with me. I have a lot of experience keeping dogs separated due to reactivity and I can manage rotations safely. Most of the dogs I’ve fostered were bully breeds. I have a lot of personal experience with Boxers and French Bulldogs. My dogs get fed twice a day and get to lounge around on the couch when I’m home! We spend time outside running around the large yard! I prefer to board crate trained, well behaved, dog-friendly dogs. If your dog is young and still working on training, please let me know as I should be able to assist with continued basic obedience practice while boarding. I have a lot of training experience!

“Angel did a wonderful job with our boy Gunther! She sent picture and video updates and always responded quickly when we contacted her. Gunther had the best time at her place. We could not have asked for a better person to look after our fur baby!”

About: I’ve raised dogs my entire life and cannot think of a better companion. I’m a former dog trainer, former volunteer at a veterinary clinic, and I’ve been pet sitting dogs, cats, livestock, chickens, reptiles, birds, and more for over 15 years. I worked and managed a PetSmart Pet Care department for 7 years. I currently work a M-F job remotely. I will watch all breeds, no exclusions. If you have a puppy, I’ll be happy to keep up with your training commands and routines. I believe that you should feel no stress about leaving your pet behind. I’ll even send you photos and videos! I’m available for boarding every day of the week. I work remotely from home Monday thru Friday. For drop-in appts, I’m only available Saturdays and Sundays. For boarding clients, I have a brand new, secure fenced in yard. Our neighborhood is quiet and perfect for walks. For drop-in clients, I can only visit Saturdays and Sundays due to my work schedule.

“Michelle was helpful since this was our first time using Rover.com. We were so greatful to find Michelle and watch our dog Aubie while we attended a family function. We will book with Michelle if we are in the Nashville area again and we DEFINITELY use Rover.com again!”

About: I've had pets my whole life. I also worked at a dog groomers, where I learned how to care for others' dogs aside from my own. I am patient and really love animals! I have my own business where I mostly work from home so my schedule is generally up to me. I also have a dog so I have time set aside for taking care of him. I have a backyard and a friendly, calm dog to keep them company. We can also keep them in separate rooms if needed. I can crate your dog if they feel safer there.

“Katie is amazing! She made my pups feel so loved, they came home happy and tired from having such a blast! They wanted to stay longer to keep playing! She treats them like family and it made me feel at ease knowing that she takes care of them the way I do.”

About: I have two sweet dogs of my own and have always been the first to offer to watch others. I’ve had dogs growing up as well. I am a personal trainer right down the road from my house with a flexible schedule so I am able to come home often and take care of the fur baby. I have a fenced in yard and a ton of toys for them to play with. I take my dogs on one or two walks a day weather dependent.

About: Hey everyone! My name is Gracie😊 I have 7 years professional experience caring for dogs/cats as a vet tech. I also have experience in basic obedience training. My personal experience largely outweighs my professional as I’ve never had any less then 4 pets of my own throughout my life. I have grown up with all sorts of animals, ranging from big to small and farm to exotic. I love all breeds and ages as each of them have their own unique traits. I do not shy away from working with special needs or senior dogs. In 2023 I moved on from working as a veterinary technician/ practice manager to pursue other endeavors. I am compassionate, flexible, and hard working. I hope to be considered for your fur babies’ caregiver. Thank you! Your pets care is upmost important. They will be cared for the same way I would want mine to be. I am able to tend to potty breaks and any other needs during the day/night. A specific plan can be made for each pet, as each pets needs are different. From leash walking, free play with or without a fence, I am very well versed in all pet needs. Your fur baby will be able to stay in his/her daily routine while under my watch.

About: My name is Isabella, a stay-at-home mom of three who has always been surrounded by animals. Growing up in Colombia, I began caring for pets at the age of 15, starting with my family, friends, and neighbors. My love for animals led me to work with nonprofit organizations for years. Now that I’m in the USA, I’m excited to bring my experience and passion for animals to you and your pets. I have a dog, a cat, and a ferret at home, so I understand how much pets mean to a family. I’m committed to providing each pet with the best care possible and treating them as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting your furry family members! As a stay-at-home mom, pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine. My availability is completely open and flexible, always depending on your needs! Living on two acres of country land, I provide pets with a spacious and safe environment. I have crates (if needed) and a play pen to ensure their comfort and security. Pets receive regular meals, fresh water, and plenty of playtime in a nurturing and relaxed setting.

“Mary Beth, wonderful host for Bentley he was immediately at home. She and her lovely family took great care of him. He was only there for maybe close to 4 hours, but it was a worry free time for me. I highly recommend her services.”

About: I absolutely LOVE animals. I have had dogs most of my life, and became a cat mom over 10 years ago. They are more than just pets - they’re family! I will treat your loved fur one like my own. I have experience giving dogs oral medications and giving cats both oral medications and injections (insulin). I work a hybrid schedule so my days are super flexible! I can be flexible with timing as long as I have sufficient notice. I am happy to accommodate your needs to the best of my ability. I want to assimilate your fur baby’s routine to the best of my ability! I will follow your instructions with any specific guidelines or requests. I am not afraid to ask clarifying questions.

“Such a really nice couple who cared so well for our German Shepard!!! Maverick came home super happy and exhausted! We will definitely be using them in the future!!!”

About: I've had dogs all my life, but grew up loving animals of all kinds. I have previously done pet check-ins and dog walks on Rover. I did not do in-house sitting, in order to keep my house my senior dog's safe space. But I lost my best friend after 17 1/2 years, and am missing the friendship and companionship in my home. I have been helping a local rescue with short term fostering when one of their fosters goes on vacation, as well as holiday fostering with Williamson County Animal Center. I would like to slowly open my home to new furry dog friends. I am familiar with senior dog issues and giving medications in pill and powder form, however, I don't have experience with injections, so I would not be the best fit if your pet requires those. I work at home full time during the week 7:00-4:00. Although I am home during the day and mostly available, I do have meetings throughout the day and can get pulled into conference calls, so I am not always instantly available and will need a little notice to book or cancel so that I can make sure I see your message and have availability when you drop off/pick up. I am open on how to best care for your pet based on your needs. I know from having a senior dog they all have their little quirks that make each one different. Do they have special food or special needs? Please let me know and I'll do my best to accommodate them. I just lost my best fur friend after 17 1/2 years, so I am looking for other fur friends to love on. I work full time from home, and am mostly available when not in meetings/calls. I would like to meet/call pet parents before their pet's first booking and get as much information and instruction as possible. I want to make sure that the pet parent's expectations are met.

“We've used Amanda several times to watch our two dogs, for both several hours a day as well as overnight stays. The dogs enjoy going to her house each time. I am confident our dogs are treated like royalty.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every breed and size since I was 4 years old. My kids also really enjoy picking up the dog poop while we are on walks (hey, I’ll take that as a win!) part of the money goes to them for being the best helpers. My husband works full time from home. Someone is always home and available to take care of your pet. We have sports on Saturday morning where we are gone for 3 hours, other than that we are typically home We do not have a fenced yard, but we have 3 kids who love taking the animals out with us and helping with walks. I am the one who holds the leash, they enjoy running, picking up after the animals, throwing toys with them to play fetch.
