Doggy Day Care Harbor House

About: I have hands-on experience with dogs at every stage of life, from training energetic puppies and reinforcing good habits, to providing patient, attentive care for senior dogs. I currently care for two dogs, a 7 year old labordoodle and a 3 year old golden doodle. I also have experience with senior dogs, which has given me a deep understanding of the extra compassion, attention, and adaptability older dogs need. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs—and I take the time to understand that. Whether it’s structured walks, consistent training reinforcement, or simply making sure your dog feels safe and loved while you’re away, I treat every dog like my own. I build my schedule around consistent time blocks each day, which allows me to provide reliable, attentive care while still being flexible for my clients’ needs. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or overnight stay, I make sure every dog gets dedicated, unrushed attention. I provide attentive, structured, and loving care whether pets are in my home or their own environment. My goal is always to keep their routine as consistent, safe, and stress-free as possible. In my home, dogs have access to a secure, fenced-in backyard where they can safely run and play. I regularly spend time outside with them playing fetch and letting them burn off energy, along with taking them on walks throughout the day. I currently have two dogs of my own, so any dog in my care benefits from social interaction, supervised play, and a comfortable, home-like environment. Inside, I make sure every dog has a calm, clean space to relax, with plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I follow each owner’s instructions closely when it comes to feeding schedules, crate routines, medications, and any specific needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. This includes walks, feeding, playtime, and reinforcing any training or habits they’re used to. I also make sure the home is respected and kept tidy, and I provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. Overall, I treat every pet like my own—making sure they are safe, exercised, mentally engaged, and genuinely cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs since I was 16; and neighbors have relied on me to care of their dogs occasionally. Dogs bring joy to my life. I am a stay home mom of 2 and I am available to play with your pups while my children are in school and on the weekends. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. Also, my neighborhood is pet friendly .

“Sandra is an amazing sitter! She took very good care of my dog Ruby, being very communicative, loving, and caring throughout the stay. I highly recommend her and will continue to book her for boarding.”

About: We’ve had our own dog for almost 2 years and have taken great care of him, learning how to understand his personality, routines, and needs. As pet owners, we know how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and we treat every pet like family. We’re also exploring the idea of adding another dog to our family in the future, so pet sitting is a great way for our dog to safely socialize while giving your pup a loving, attentive environment. We’re very mindful of introductions and make sure both dogs feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free. I currently stay at home, and my husband works fully remote, so there is always someone present to give your pup attention and care throughout the day. Our dog, Hilo, follows a consistent routine with three walks a day—morning, afternoon, and evening—along with regular feeding times. Your dog will be included in a structured, loving environment with plenty of playtime, supervision, and companionship. We provide a safe, calm, and structured environment where your dog will feel at home. We are very attentive and always supervise interactions to ensure comfort for all dogs. Our dog Hilo is well cared for and used to a routine, and we take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels safe. We can follow your dog’s specific feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule, and can crate if needed. With someone always home, your pup will never be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care, attention, and love.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years and truly love spending time with animals. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, and cats with different personalities. Every pet receives individual attention, regular walks, playtime, fresh water, and lots of love. I always send photo updates so owners know their pets are safe, comfortable, and happy. I have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Pets receive regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding on schedule, and lots of affection. I always adjust my routine to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while staying with me. I provide a clean, calm, and safe home where pets receive individual attention. Although I live in an apartment, our community has large green areas and a dedicated dog park for daily walks and exercise. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. I treat every pet like family and send regular photo updates so owners always know their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I love animals, especially dogs! Caring for dogs has been a big part of my life for many decades. I'm very cheerful and engaging with pets and enjoy caring for them. If I have the opportunity to care for your precious loved one, they will look forward to spending time with me again. I have a 12 lb spayed female Chihuahua named Porkchop that is always by my side. She is shy at first but very playful once she warms up - Porkchop gets along great with other dogs. I own a house on a 1/3 acre lot with fenced back yard that backs up to a park with walking trails. I also live within 10 minutes of many parks in SW Charlotte including McDowell Nature Preserve, in case your dog likes car rides and nature hiking. I look forward to caring for your dog and being a trusted friend to your loved one while you are away. Dogs with special needs are welcome and will be very well cared for. I’m retired from the corporate world and available full time to care for your pets. I will be there with your dog around the clock sans any errands that need to be run. I will be there with your pet full time to provide meals & potty breaks as scheduled/necessary and keep your pet company. Daily walks are also provided upon request.

“Gonzalo and his family are incredibly loving! You feel that warmth the second you step into their home. Pets run around happily like they own the place. Muffin was absolutely thrilled both times, playing right up until pickup. We loved getting their timely photo and video updates. We have found a home away from home for Muffin!”

“Stacy provides a safe and loving environment for our pet. She comes home happy and tired from romping. The photos we receive during her stay are greatly appreciated.”

Hollie S.

“Krystle was terrific with our boy. She kept us informed of his activity. She sent pictures and a video of his time away from home. Overall great experience. Would recommend!”

Jennifer V.

“Our first pet sitting experience was great thanks to Glisel. She arrived on time, even a little early which is so appreciated. Glisel took great care of our very anxious Murphy. We could not ask for anything else. We already have Glisel booked for an extended housesitting visit later this month & we have great confidence all will be well.”

About: Hi there! I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone new, which is why I treat every pup like my own. I provide full time, round the clock care, playtime in a secure fenced yard, and a calm, loving home where your dog can feel safe, relaxed, and happy. Prior to this, I spent years managing people and daily operations in my professional career, and I bring that same dependability, structure, and consistency into pet care. I pay close attention to each dog’s unique needs, whether it’s medication, special diets, or just extra affection. I’m home all day, every day, and I keep owners updated with photos, videos, and honest communication so you always know how your best friend is doing. My goal is simple: you leave worry free, and your dog leaves tail wagging and excited to come back. Pet care is at the center of my daily routine. I do this full-time, so I’m home throughout the day to give dogs my full attention. My mornings start with walks in the neighborhood, feeding, and playtime. Throughout the day, I keep dogs active, comfortable, and supervised, with plenty of breaks, affection, and quiet time. In my home, dogs enjoy a safe and comfortable space where they get plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I tailor care to each pet’s needs and personality, creating a calm, positive environment that helps them settle in and feel loved while their owners are away.

“Tucker enjoyed his two mornings with Janet! Easy drop off and pick-up and Janet always sends updates on his stay with her so we stay informed about how he’s doing.”

Patti C.

“Christine and Andrew have been the best with taking care of Wilma weekly. They are sure to keep us updated and send pictures - they also make sure she gets plenty of toys :) Wilma looks forward to her time with them each week and it has been so seamless working with the both of them. I highly recommend working with them on pet sitting needs - they rock!”

About: I've had a 4-legged family member since I was a young child. I've done dog sitting, dog walking and cat sitting for my neighbors, friends and children over the years. We also had a miniature schnauzer for 14 years. Unfortunately we had to say goodbye to him a couple of years ago and we still miss him dearly. I love my grand pups though! My husband and I are recently retired and we are truly a pet loving family. Let us spoil your fur baby like we do with our grand pups. I'm recently retired, so I have plenty of time to love on your fur baby. I'm available for dog walking and cat sitting too. I do require a meet and greet before booking, for the safety and comfort of your pet. I have plenty of green space in my neighborhood to walk your dog, and I have space in my home to crate, if needed.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and I truly love it! Since I work from home, your pup will get plenty of attention, companionship, and cuddles throughout the day. My own dog has been my sidekick for the past six years, so I know firsthand how important it is to leave your pet somewhere safe and loving. I treat every dog like family and always want them to feel right at home while they’re here. Because I work from home, pets fit naturally into my daily routine and are rarely left alone for long periods of time. My flexible schedule allows me to give them lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and downtime throughout the day depending on their needs and personality. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more laid-back and cuddly, I do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and part of the household. I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore, plus a pet-friendly home with plenty of space to relax. Safety and trust are extremely important to me, and I always want pet parents to feel confident leaving their furry family member in my care. In this house, dogs are loved, respected, and always welcome on the furniture for snuggles :)

About: Since I was very little I always had pets at home, so the love for them goes back to being a very young girl, I enjoy sharing with them I think that sometimes it is what gives meaning to my life I stay at home caring for my baby, which allows me to be present and have plenty of time to care for pets. I have availability every day of the week and can provide attentive, consistent, and loving care. I live in a house with plenty of space. I also have a fenced yard. If you're afraid of my cats being with your pet, I'd be happy to lock them up. They're used to living with dogs.

“Nathalia was great! She is so sweet and you can tell loves dogs! Out senior dog had a great time with her and got lots of walks! She was super accommodating with ongoing schedule! I know any dog is in good hands with her. 10/10 would recommend.”
