Doggy Day Care in Cove City

“Clayton took such high quality care of my Nova girl. He safely introduced her to other dogs and then they were able to have the best playing day! I’m so grateful she was able to have a good experience and come home ready to sleep😊”

“Juli has been great for our pup! When she took care of him she sent us countless updates and pictures and was very understanding of all of his needs. Albert loves her homemade treats and running around in her backyard. She’s a really great fit for our Albert!”

“Excellent experience with Ashley. Max was a great fit with her other doggies and she did a great job making him comfortable when he got there. I will definitely be contacting her again, highly recommend this sitter!”

“Michelle took awesome care of my anxious pup Pippin. Pippin had a great time with her dog, and even got a walk! Will definitely be using Michelle again in the future!”

“Rachel is so wonderful. My puppy was happy when I picked her after daycare and slept really well from all of the playtime she had despite spending some time in the crate at my request. Rachel was very accommodating and helpful in keeping our routine and rules and was flexible when I needed to add an extra day last minute. I will most definitely book with her again and would trust her with my puppy any time without any reservation.”

“Jasper came home from Michelle’s daycare clean, happy and exhausted. Michelle kept me updated with all the details and was extremely accommodating. Highly recommend Michelle’s service to all dog parents out there, she always has a tastefully designed home that is also dog friendly.”

“Meg was very sweet to us and my doggie. We appreciate she was able to accommodate us while we were in town. She sent really cute pics and kept us updated. Her dogs were great dogs, too. We recommend!”

“Colt was amazing from the start! He is very calm and attentive to the dogs needs. I was comfortable from the start which can be hard to find. Finding someone you can trust is very important and colt is that person! He is very much a dog person and will definitely be watching my babies whenever I need someone. I couldn't thank him enough for taking such good care of my boys!”

“Jaicee took great care of Nova and treated her as one of her own! Would definitely use her again and recommend her to others!”

“Bianca was awesome! She accommodated out last second request for daycare and was very patient letting us introduce our reactive dog to her sweet dog Apollo. She sent us lots of pics and videos during the stay, and our dog enjoyed the fenced dog park in the complex. Will definitely be back on our next visit to New Bern!”

About: 🐶 About Me: Hi, I’m Heather—an experienced, nurturing pet professional who has been surrounded by animals since before I could walk. From dogs and cats to birds, bunnies, and even rescued wildlife, I’ve dedicated my life to loving and caring for animals of all kinds. Before relocating to North Carolina, I was a star sitter in Boston, MA, where I built long-term relationships with many repeat clients who entrusted me with their beloved pets time and time again. My background in both teaching and animal care fuels my approach: structured, empathetic, and full of joy! I’ve worked with animals in all life stages, and I’m highly experienced in: • Administering medications (oral, topical, and injectable) • Caring for seniors, puppies, and animals with special needs • Training dogs through behavioral challenges including leash reactivity, food aggression, and fear-based behaviors At home, I share my life with Gherkin, my brilliant 4-year-old Belgian Sheepdog who has completed Basic Obedience, Canine Good Citizen, and two levels of Scent Training, and Gunnar, a sweet Miniature Australian Shepherd who is currently mastering his obedience basics. Whether you need: • Boarding • In-Home Sitting • Drop-In Visits • Dog Walking …your pet will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m incredibly detail-oriented, quick to notice subtle changes in behavior or health, and I always strive to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and comforting as possible. Whether your companion is energetic and playful or shy and needing gentle care, I adjust my approach to meet their needs. I’ve also lived and worked around a wide variety of animals, including: 🐾 Bunnies, chinchillas, guinea pigs 🕊️ Birds 🐿️ Rehabilitated wildlife 🐕 Dogs with training or behavioral needs You can trust that your pet is in calm, capable, and loving hands with me. 📅 Availability As a Special Education Teacher, my school year has ended and I currently have open availability for pet care bookings. This includes weekdays, weekends, and holidays throughout the summer. My availability may shift slightly as I explore new professional opportunities, but I will always keep my calendar accurate and up to date. I remain committed to making time for both new and returning clients whenever possible. 🏠 How I Care for Pets in My Home and in Yours Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, you can expect attentive, personalized, and respectful care every step of the way. In My Home: I have a cozy home with a large yard—perfect for safe outdoor time and quick potty breaks. It is partially fenced. So, outdoor time will either occur on walks or on longlines. While the yard is large, I know most pets love a change of scenery, so we also enjoy leisurely walks, when appropriate, adventures to local parks H. Boyd isn't far) or dog parks. I always follow the owner’s preferences for activity level, routines, and socialization. Your pet will get plenty of affection, structured care, and attention—just like one of my own. In Your Home: When house sitting, I pride myself on being the most respectful guest you could ask for. I keep things tidy, follow all instructions to the letter, and am so focused on caring for your pet that your home may be cleaner than when you left it. I understand that your pet feels safest in their own space, so I work to maintain a calm, consistent environment while you’re away. Whether it’s watering plants, bringing in the mail, or keeping to a special feeding or medication schedule, I’ve got it covered. To be clear, as a house sitter, I do not stay overnight because I have my own dogs, but I stay as long as needed to ensure your furbabies are cared for (as mine can go for a long time). If you happen to book a house sitting when I don't have any other animals boarding, it is possible for me to stay overnight. I work out all the communication prior to your departure and stay in communication as much or as little as you request while you are away. Ultimately, I take my cues from you and your pet’s needs—always prioritizing comfort, safety, and peace of mind.

“Beth was very approachable and receptive to a last minute booking. She took great care of Ludo, and he seemed very content”

About: As a wagging tail mommy (Sawyer, Wilson, Ollie, Odin, & Walter), who enjoys travel, vacations, and an active lifestyle, I understand that sometimes your dogs need a little extra love! Or how stressful it is to leave them boarded in a Kennel where they only get 15 minutes of "hooman" interaction. That is why Andrew and I are here! I have been a pet owner all my life, and have been dog sitting for 20+ years. We love dogs, and other pets, and truly enjoy spending time with them! We have experience with ages birth and older; we have experience with potty training, leash training, and experience with Post-Trauma from abuse, anxiety, fear, and aggression. I (Jenna) adopted my first rescue, Kaylah, at the age of 8. She had been surrendered; and had evidence of severe abuse. Through love and lots of work; she became leash trained, had limited anxiety and ways to cope, and was a very well behaved and loving dog. I fully understand that when life is busy or you need a vacation or travel for work; you want someone to love your dog as you do. While I am with your pet, I will love and nourish it as if it were my own! We look forward to meeting you and getting to know your wagging tail! I have dogs, so it is just part of the daily routine! They always get lots of love and affection throughout the day. Plus extra treats are a must every single day! We have a 6 foot privacy fence with friendly dogs who will keep your dog company, some are active and some relaxed and older. We have crates as needed as well.

About: Since I was 10 years old I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and breeds! I grew up in a house full of animals and have boarded dogs since living on my own! I’m currently in school part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for dog walks throughout the day and can board all throughout the week! I live in a spacious apartment with a balcony and have one pup to keep yours company and play with! My residence also includes a fenced in dog park to let your pup run around and play fetch!

About: I will love your dog as if it were my own. I have 2 springer spaniels that love to play. I can give special care for a dog that needs meds or has a special diet. I have had fur babies in the past that require special attention. I work a full time job out of my home so taking in dogs during the week is super easy as I’m home all day everyday. We have underground fencing otherwise your dog will go on a tie out. We have 2 entrances that can accommodate. I can also take crate trained dogs. If you don’t want to bring your kennel we have one to use as well.

About: I have taken care of a variety of animals all of my life as I have a natural knack for knowing their wants and needs. I have a wide knowledge about all sorts of animals and enjoy giving them the love and attention they crave! I have been called the, “animal whisperer,” in my circle and feel it is well-attributed as my heart for nature and its creatures is genuine. While you’re away or at work, you have your pet in the best hands possible—being played with, fed, and nurtured in a fun and loving way! Let me know of any specifics and I will be sure to adhere to them! Also, for specialized information or deals please direct text message me prior to booking—I’d be happy to help you! Regards, Ashley My schedule is pretty flexible as I work from home so let me know your needs and let’s figure out the best solution for your pet together! I have a fenced in portion of my yard as well as a beautiful park in the center of my neighborhood. In addition, there are many wonderful places to walk from my house that will have all the good smelling spots a dog could desire!

About: I have been a life long dog lover and equestrian. I have been with my horse Quincy for going on 13 years now and my dogs Daisy, for 6, and Olive, for 2. I would love to help your fur baby play all day! Most of my pet sitting experience is with larger dogs and I enjoy taking them on walks or just relaxing at home. I usually stick to a every three hour schedule for walking but will absolutely adjust to the needs of your pet. I am punctual and very attentive to the needs of your pet. I request pretty specific instruction so that I can give your dog the very best experience possible! I am comfortable in administering medications or sitting more than one of your pups at once! I do have a large yard that is currently not fenced in, but the area I live in has great paved sidewalks! I am very flexible right now and can make any schedule work! However I am instructed to care for them really. Some pups snooze all day. Some have shorts bursts of energy. Some will play outside for an hour then come in and play more. The level of care is entirely dependent on the pets personality and medical needs.
