Doggy Day Care First Ward

“Peggy was great with my baby girl! She made sure my pup had lots of plays throughout the day, and sent me pictures and updates. She was able to accommodate our booking request such short notice, which really helped us out. Peggy’s home was welcoming and had lots of space for my pup to run around with her pups. I would recommend Peggy if you’re in need of daycare!”

“Latrice was available last minute on Christmas eve/Christmas morning of all days. Was literally a lifesaver that she was available last minute on a holiday. My puppy was happy as could be when I picked him up and I could tell he was well taken care of. :) I would absolutely book with her again!”

“Celeste is awesome! My dog Charlie loves her. She has such a special gift with animals.”

Ashlee A.

“Thank you for taking great care of my little man!! He seemed like he was comfortable and enjoyed his time. I appreciated all of the pictures and updates through the day. He will definitely be back for daycare and boarding!”

“Amanda was amazing and highly communicative throughout the entire stay. She went above and beyond to help my anxious pup feel comfortable, which made a huge difference. I really appreciated her care and attention.”

Gladys R.

“Adrienne and Jarrod were wonderful and loving. They sent updates frequently. My doggie has a good bit of anxiety but she did great and got lots of outdoor time. Highly recommend.”

“Absolutely amazing sitter and communication should get a Stella award”

“Mia is literally a saint. I just moved to Charlotte and needed a sitter on short notice to watch my dog while I moved into an apartment. Mia answered immediately and was super flexible and communicative. At the end of the day she ended up befriending my dog, who often becomes anxious and/or scared when she's away from people she knows. My dog is now exhausted, which is exactly how I like her. I would definitely re-book with Mia and recommend her to anyone who needs a reputable and reliable dog sitter.”

“10/10! Highly recommend!”

About: I have been taking care of my dog for 6 years and have experience dogsitting for over 10years. My dog loves to have a friend over and we love to make their stay as amazing as we can. As a dog owner, I want to provide the relief that your dog is well taken care of of while you are away 😊 I currently work from home. Your dog would get plenty of walks throughout the day as well as playtime with my dog. I also have a small courtyard they can access for potty breaks and smell breaks. I have a very small fenced in courtyard for potty breaks and just hanging out outside. I take my dog on walks multiple times a day and we have an afternoon/evening playtime session. My dog Charlie, is a gentle giant and loves guests.

About: Hi! I'm Tracy, a small business owner, master's student, and proud dog mom to my sweet pit bull, Prada. My flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable pet sitting, dog walks, and drop-in visits with plenty of love and attention. As a dog owner with hands-on experience caring for dogs of different personalities and energy levels, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I'll treat your pup like family, follow their routine, and keep you updated with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your furry best friend! I’m a small business owner and currently pursuing my master’s degree, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide reliable pet care. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or pet sitting, I have the time to give your pup the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your routine, respect your home, and make sure your pup feels safe and loved while you’re away. I live in an apartment community with plenty of walking paths and a fenced dog park, and I always keep a close eye on every dog in my care

About: I’m the definition of a “dog person” — we’ve had several of our own, and we’ve been a boarding stop for friends and family for years. I’m not working full-time right now, so I have plenty of time to exercise your fur-friend, or just drop in for a visit! If you have any specific questions or concerns, I’d be happy to answer them! I’m not working full-time at the moment, so I’m available any day, at any time! Plenty of time for long walks or drop-ins, whatever your pet needs. Whatever you and your pet are comfortable with! I’ve dealt with tiny dogs and huge dogs, seniors and young puppies — they’re all special to me.

About: I grew up with dogs both big and small- from a rescue Beagle, to a Yorkie, and now my family’s 2 year old Anatolian Shepherd before moving from Maryland to Charlotte. I also grew up with 2 cats, Sumo and Shelby, so I have experience with both furry friends! I work remote, so I have a very flexible schedule. I also started more recently volunteering at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Shelter. I’d love to take care of your pet! 🐾❤️ I currently work remote 9am-5pm Monday-Friday, so I have the flexibility to be with and care for your pet throughout the day. My evenings are pretty relaxed, so I can even give your pet all of the love once I’m done with work for the day! I am also available on the weekends to do the same. I live in an apartment with 2 other women right across the street from a large park for your dog to play! I’m also not too far from the rail trail, so if your dog is friendly with other dogs I can even take them to the trail for some exercise. In my clients’ homes, I will be sure to follow any instructions to make sure you and your pet are comfortable!

About: I've been around animals since I was a little kid. Grew up on my grandparents' farm taking care of dogs, bunnies, pigs, sheep, cows, you name it. That's where my love for them started. I've trained every dog I've ever owned myself — from a big Rottweiler to a tiny Chihuahua-pug mix, and now my German Shepherd that I raised from a puppy. I'm good at reading their body language, teaching manners, and fixing leash reactivity so walks are actually enjoyable. Been walking dogs for friends and family for years and house-sat a bunch of times. I'll treat your pets like my own — give them the love and attention they deserve, keep them well-behaved, and make sure you have total peace of mind while you're gone. Your dog will be spoiled, safe, and happy with me. I just got laid off from my job, so my schedule is wide open right now. I’m home pretty much all day, every day — weekdays and weekends. That means I can take your dog out for potty breaks, longer walks, playtime, whatever they need. I’ve got plenty of time to make sure they’re well taken care of. In my home, the dog always gets my full attention. I'll make sure they feel safe and comfortable, keep them entertained with playtime, and work on training — I love watching them go from not knowing a command to nailing a solid sit, heel, or place. Of course I'll handle all the basics too — feeding exactly how you tell me, potty breaks on schedule, and making sure they're never stressed or bored. Whether it's at my place or yours, I'll treat your dog like my own and give them the attention they need.

About: I have had dogs in my home my whole life. When I was young, I started to learn responsibility by taking care of our pets. I’ve spent years walking, feeding, and grooming dogs. When any of my friends, family, or neighbors go out of town, I am their first call for a pet sitter. I have experience with all sizes of dogs and a variety of breeds, including German Shepherds, St. Bernards, and Pitbulls. I have had rescue dogs that need extra care and love due to their past, and am patient and gentle with those that are nervous. I also have experience with puppies, as I have raised some of my pets. I can even help with commands like sit, stay, and place. There is not a dog in the world I wouldn’t love! I work full time in live sports, and December is our off-season, so I will not return to work everyday until mid-January. I will be able to provide as much attention to your pet as you like! If your pet were to come stay with me in my home, they would be in a very clean and comfortable apartment. There is a balcony that they would not be able jump over or squeeze through, but they can enjoy the sun and fresh air! We have a fenced in dog park area, and per your request, I can either let your pet explore while it is empty, or take them to socialize with the others. If I am coming into your home to care for your pet, I will follow the guidelines you provide me exactly. I will always ensure the door is locked behind me, and that your home stays tidy as you’ve left it. I will make sure your pet comfortable as well, since it is also their home I will be coming into!

“Ashly was incredible with our little golden doodle pup! We were very nervous at first with a sitter since we only had him for 4 days but she made us feel comfortable and safe!”

“Enzo has a fantastic set up for boarding and Finn had an absolute blast staying with him! We walked by his house after the stay and Finn tried to run up his front steps. We'll definitely be utilizing Enzo again soon!”
