Top rated Durham doggy day care sitters
“Bellamy had a wonderful time exploring the property, playing chase, and sunbathing. She seemed to have a good time and I’m sure she would like to visit again.”
“Couldn't be happier. I was in a bind and needed daycare because my place had closed without notice and I was looking for a long term doggy daycare solution. Mariah and her family obviously love animals and my year old cockapoo has been well taken care of. Lots of room to play and roam. I feel comfortable leaving him with them and don't worry about his care and safety.”
“Jacklyn was great! Sent lots of (very cute!) pictures, walked McCoy, and made sure he got along with her own dog. McCoy was always happy to see her (and her dog) when we dropped him off. Jacklyn was also very responsive to us (e.g. when we had to modify our arrival/pick up time) which made our lives very easy.”
“Sana, Paul and Layla are absolutely wonderful hosts ! My border collie mix, Angus spent the day being pampered with multiple walks, naps on the bed and playing keep away with Layla. I appreciated the multiple photos and videos throughout the day. I appreciate that he was treated like family and felt totally at peace leaving him in Sana and Paul's care. I highly recommend Sana and Paul to anyone looking for a high quality, pampered stay for their pup. Angus can't wait to return :)”
About: I’ve always had animals in my life—dogs, cats, bunnies, a hamster, frogs… and one unforgettable roommate with ferrets. These days, it’s just me, my dog Tillie, and two backyard chickens, Lucy and Caroline (they run a tight ship). I work from home, so your dog will have company all day—whether they want to nap by my desk, play in the yard, or soak up some love. My partner doesn’t work from home, but when he’s here, he’s everyone’s favorite ball-thrower and treat-giver. Your pup will be treated like part of the family—chicken supervision included. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means your dog won’t be left alone for long, if at all. They’ll get plenty of attention throughout the day—walks, playtime, snuggles, and whatever else makes them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I have a fenced yard, a sweet dog named Tillie, and two backyard chickens. We keep a calm, safe environment for everyone—your dog will be cared for like family.
“Courtney is great! She gave regular updates even if your fur baby is at her place for just a day. She is very interactive, shares updates and is very organized. Her dog is super friendly and loves playing with others too. I've had a lovely experience and did not have to worry about my puppy when I was away. I'd definitely recommend Courtney. :)”
“Jessica took great care of Butters. it was good for him to socialize with Cleo as well. He was happy and tired when he returned home. The whole process was very smooth and she kept us informed and sent pictures throughout the day”
“Martin and Veronica are such a wonderful dog sitter. Our dog loves their backyard. I love that they always send picture or videos of our dog.”

“Thank you Joyce for watching Jax at the last minute. Joyce treated my dog like her own. Jax got along well with her dogs and was comfortable being there. I will definitely have Jax over again.”
“Coco had fun with Diana, who sent great photos of her day. Diana responds very quickly to our Rover day care requests and is really flexible. Today’s discovery at Diana’s was the value of the crate for naps and some down time! We brought ours this time. Coco is high energy! Thanks!”
“Rajee is absolutely amazing! My dog loves going there and came home happy and tired from a day of fun. I love that they provide a safe, clean, and engaging environment with plenty of playtime and socialization. They also give regular updates, which gives me peace of mind knowing my dog is in great hands.”
“Our Tucker had a great time with Jennifer and her family! He was so happily tired when came back home. Thank you!!! We will definitely recommend Jennifer!!”
“Anji was wonderful with both of our dogs who are never in daycare or boarding, so this was a new situation for them and for us. Anji made it easy! She was so responsive and kind to us, and our dogs were very comfortable leaving us to go with her, and obviously taken excellent care of! We’re so grateful to Anji and will definitely be rebooking with her.”
About: I currently own 3 Golden Retrievers with my significant other. Over the years we have also had a Lab Golden mix and an Australian Shepherd. I volunteer for a nonprofit Retriever rescue and have fostered many dogs through the organization, and for the past 8 yrs I have served as a Medical Intake Manager for the rescue. I absolutely love dogs and treat all dogs like they were my own. Our home sits on 1.25 acres which includes about 1/4 acres of fenced woods with trails, our own private wooded dog park! We also have a medium sized fenced backyard with grass. Our 3 dogs are super dog friendly and love to play. We have a 2 & 6 yrs old spayed female Goldens and a 5 yr old neutered male Golden. We live in a quiet neighborhood on a dead end street with lots of private roads for dog walks. I have a very flexible work from home job and am always here to attend to your pups needs. The dog would get lots of attention throughout the day and be able to play and have lots of fun here! We have a fenced medium sized backyard, and our back woods are fenced as well which is accessible by a separate gate. I have XL wire crates on hand and can crate if needed. Super experienced dog owner from my previous fostering experiences.
About: I grew up with dogs since age 5 and always had a soft spot in my heart for the runts of the litter. I work as a physical therapist assistant and have even provided care for my own dogs when they got hurt. We currently have two small dogs (2 yrs and 4 months) but have taken care of several senior dogs in the past few years. My husband and I love spending time updating our house and going on bike rides with the dogs to stay active. I currently work part time (Tuesday-Thursday) but my husband works from home full-time. We are home most weekends while we update our house/land so the dogs get plenty of exercise and stimulation. We let our dogs outside every 1-2 hours for short potty breaks, or an hour supervised since our yard isn't fully fenced. Our dogs are fed a couple times a day, and are crated at night but free to roam the house if we leave for a short time. We give them dog treats/bones but do not feed them food from the table in order to support their digestive health and maintain boundaries.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience raising my own golden retriever, who is now seven months old. I’ve personally taught her everything she knows—from basic commands to leash manners and good social skills—and she’s already a very well-behaved dog. This experience has given me a lot of patience and understanding of the consistency puppies need to thrive. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including seniors, and always pay close attention to each pet’s unique routines and personalities. Whether it’s reinforcing positive behaviors, keeping an energetic puppy engaged, or providing a calm environment for an older dog, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work in healthcare, so I usually only work 2 to 3 times a week, and during the time that I work. My boyfriend is usually at the house! So there’s always somebody here! I have a fence yard, as well as a big space! And the clients home, I will do my best to maintain their rules, as well as routine for the pet sake, as well as for my sake!!
