Doggy Day Care in Fuquay-Varina

About: Have owned my own dogs and cats over the years. As they've grown older and passed on, I have satisfied my love for animals by caring for my kids' pets when they go on vacation. I've gone to their house and stayed, but also they have stayed in my home while mom and dad are away. We go for walks, and I have a fenced in yard and doggy door them to come and go as they please. Like my grandkids: I love having them and playing, but I also love the flexibility of sending them back to mom and dad! I am a retired teacher and am home most days. I have various errands during the day, or other things, but nothing that would interfere with visiting guests. I no longer have a dog of my own but our visiting fur babies ( and the grands) have a fenced yard with doggy door. Dogs are secure inside the back yard. I care for one dog, that loves the back yard and wants to stay out all day, weather permitting. He is safe and secure there with water and shade, and comes in when he is ready. But most of the dogs come inside. They are free to go out to play and do their business.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both a senior dog and a high-energy Golden Retriever puppy. This has taught me how to balance gentle, patient care with active play, training support, and consistent routines to meet each dog’s unique needs. I work from home so I’ll be home with the pups all day long! I’m able to take them out as needed throughout the day and can feed them or provide any other individual care they may need! My home is pet-safe with an indoor gate for added security, and I provide regular, supervised potty breaks to ensure pets stay comfortable, safe, and well cared for.

“Meyling was great. We dropped our young doodle off for a play date. At first our pup was shaking. Within 10 minutes of dropping him off we had pictures of him doing amazing and playing with their pup. Will definitely reach out to Meyling for future sitting needs.”

“Dean was a wonderful sitter for our boy; for the day he took him to the doggy park and Buddy had a great time! I would highly recommend him. He is a very nice man and took him last minute which we really appreciated. Thank you, Dean!”

“Rudy loved his time at Chantel’s! She sent videos of his playtime and really seemed to love having him. Which is what we all want… someone to take care of our babies like we would like to when we can’t. Rudy can’t wait for his return visit.”

“Dylan is really good with dogs. Everything you'd want for a dog sitter! My dog immediately liked him and I could tell he was really cared and had fun while we were gone. Dylan kept us updated with pictures and commutes very well. It was great. I'll definitely check with him first for our future needs. Highly recommended!”

“Ksenia is amazing! Kind and so patient with our hound puppy. She is a life saver! I was caught off guard with our puppy transitioning from sleeping a lot to digging a lot! I needed help with his care, and Ksenia quickly responded and offered help immediately. We cannot say enough good things about her care and concern for our pup, and she even helped with much needed training tips. Wonderful! And her family is lovely as well.”

About: I have experience caring for different kinds of pets, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience. I currently have three dogs, a cat, and a tortoise, so I’m very comfortable handling pets with different needs. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like family — I’m attentive, caring, and make sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Plus, I have a fenced-in backyard, which gives dogs a safe space to play and enjoy themselves. Pet care is already part of my daily life since I take care of my own dogs, cat, and tortoise every day. Feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning up are all part of my routine, so adding care for other pets fits in naturally. I enjoy spending time with animals, so making it part of my weekly schedule feels very rewarding. In my home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe, with plenty of attention, playtime, and a fenced-in backyard for exercise. I follow their usual feeding and routine so they feel at home. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely — feeding, walks, medication if needed, and keeping the pet’s environment clean and calm. My goal is always to make pets feel loved and secure, whether they are with me or in their own home.

“Ashley was wonderful. Nala clearly had a great time with her. She was very responsive to my requests and it was su ch a relief to know she was in good hands. Their little pet spot is so cozy and Nala loved it right away.”

“Staci is an excellent pet sitter that provides amazing care for our Maggie. Maggie has separation anxiety and needed to start developing social skills to help her with separation and just overall being around other people and pets. I am so happy that I found Staci, because after just the first time that she cared for Maggie, I can see how happy my furbaby gets when I even put her in the car seat. Maggie gets so excited because she knows we are on our way to a play date or overnight fun filled stay with Staci. I’ve observed how much calmer Maggie is and how much she loves to be at her sitters house. Thank you Staci for caring for our Maggie with such love and care. My family and I appreciate you so much. -Dina”

About: Hi, I’m Sarai. A former veterinary assistant, military veteran, and lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and a Master’s in Public Health, and have dedicated my life to ensuring animals are safe, happy, and healthy. Whether your pet needs a walk, a cuddle, or specialized care, you can trust they’re in skilled, compassionate hands. Let’s give your pet the care they deserve! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I work every two to three days; however, my schedule is very flexible, and I ensure that your dog has the daily exercise it needs. I treat every pet like they’re my own—with love, patience, and attention to detail. I have a friendly, well-socialized dog at home, so your pet will have a built-in playmate (if they enjoy that!). Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their comfort and safety come first. I provide regular walks, playtime, trips to the dog park (with your permission), and plenty of cuddles and treats. I closely follow any care instructions you provide and maintain a calm, clean, and secure environment. You can count on me to keep your pet happy, healthy, and safe while you're away.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I’m a former K9 handler and genuinely love animals of all shapes and sizes. I’m comfortable working with dogs of every breed and size. I am currently a full time student and am home majority of the day. Your pet will not be left unattended for more than 4 hours at a time. I have a fenced yard, live in a very walkable neighborhood, and I’m right next to a dog park. I go on frequent walks and runs and would be more than happy to bring your dog along if you’d like. Your pet will have free rein in my home. I have one cat and one dog who both love making new friends and will happily keep your fur baby company. I also have an extra-large kennel available upon request, depending on your preference.

“Erin was wonderful with Bailey. She sent an adorable photo of her sons & Bailey! Knew I made the right choice booking Erin.”
