Doggy Day Care in Harbor House, Charlotte, NC

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.

“My dog Bell thoroughly enjoyed her stay with Lizbeth!! We had a last min need for doggy daycare & luckily Lizbeth was able to help us & put all my nerves at ease, sent pics & videos. She’s amazing & would definitely use her again!”

About: Hi, I'm Aura! I love pets, and so does my whole family. I've had pets at home my whole life, and I'm sure they bring us joy. I'm a responsible, caring, and patient person. I have seven years of experience caring for dogs. If your pet is active, I can take them for walks, and when my daughter gets home from school, they can play together. I'll make sure they're happy and burn off energy. If, on the other hand, your pet is calm and serene, they'll be surrounded by love in a peaceful environment, no matter their age. I'm home all the time, so your pet won't feel lonely. I'd love for you to tell me about their routines, likes, and anything else that will help them feel secure. I have a beautiful Shih Tzu they can play with, and I assure you they'll feel right at home. I'll send you updates, including photos, so you can rest easy. I have all the time in the world to take care of your furry friend; it's an important job for me, so you can count on me on weekends and even holidays. I have a large house with a large yard where we can play, I have a dog that can play with your furry baby, if you have any special needs I can gladly help you

“Kayla helped us in a pinch amd VERY last minute when we were both sick and needed a few puppy-free hours to rest. She's such a life saver!”

About: Since I was young, I’ve had a special connection with animals. I grew up in a home with dogs and cats, and over time, I became the go-to person for friends and family whenever they needed someone to care for their pets while they traveled. For over 10 years, I’ve looked after dogs of all breeds and sizes, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring special care. I’ve also cared for cats, learning to respect their unique personalities and needs. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, love, and routine to ensure every pet feels safe and happy under my care. I work from home, so I have plenty of time and a flexible schedule to care for your pets. Whether they need walks, playtime, or just companionship, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I’ve always had a deep love for animals and truly enjoy spending time with them. Caring for pets isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I’m passionate about. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some extra cuddles, your furry friend will receive plenty of attention and a home-like environment where they can feel happy and relaxed.

“Daisy had a great first day with Megan and Milo. She was spoiled with nice walks and plenty of play time. I also got plenty of pics to keep me up to date on her new environment.”

About: I've been caring for pets for over 10 years, and I absolutely love it! Since I work from home, your pup will get plenty of attention, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. My own dog has been my sidekick for the past five years, so I know firsthand how important it is to have a safe, loving environment. With a pet-friendly home and a fenced-in backyard, your furry friend will have plenty of space to play, relax, and feel right at home while they're here! Since I work from home, your pup will have company all day long! My flexible schedule means I can give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day, making sure they feel right at home. I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can run and play as much as they want! My own pup is my pride and joy, so I totally get how important it is to treat every dog like family. In this house, dogs are respected, loved, and always welcome on the furniture for snuggles!

“Ativa was really kind to get me scheduled on VERY short notice. My puppy (who is usually shy) seemed to like her and got along well with her puppy. She was also kind enough to send me a photo of my sleepy puppy when I asked how he was doing midday. I’ll definitely keep her on my list of sitters to rebook. Thank you!”

About: My name is Shannon and working with dogs is my passion! I’m a trainer and have two dogs (German Shepherd and German Shorthaired Pointer). I do require that all my boarding dogs are crate trained for their protection as well as up to date on all regular vaccinations. As I work from home, I’m normally not gone from the house for more than an hour or so at a time on a normal day. We do require dogs to be crate trained as they are crated overnight and when not supervised. I do keep client dogs mostly separate from other dogs until I get a feel for their play style and needs before they interact with other dogs (including my own personal dogs who are very dog friendly). I work from home so we are always home to care for an additional resident! We also have a young toddler who loves having dogs around the house to watch. Our regulars are already her favorites! Someone is always around to make sure the pups are cared for while they stay with us. Your pet’s wellbeing comes first and we will always make decisions in their best interest while communicating with you daily of any occurrences! We send photos on each drop-in and one photo per day during boarding. While we are available for you, we aren’t overly attached to our work phones - so don’t worry if we don’t respond throughout the day to multiple messages… our time is spent chasing the dogs and the toddler around!

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.

“Janet was very accommodating and on short notice. We were traveling and had a couple day outings planned and she cared for our dog wonderfully. Great communication and great care!”

About: Dogs will be part of our family :). I’ve taken care of dogs countless times throughout the years, my dog get along with everyone. Dogs are absolutely a man’s best friend, and leave paw prints on our hearts! I’m a stay at home mom with a toddler, so I’ll have all the time to be attentive to your pup. About this sitter: We are at home a lot and love taking dogs for walks and going to parks. My dog enjoys meeting other dogs as well. Meet my dog; I have a Lhasa apso, named Bear. He's super loving, and can't hurt a fly. He welcomes other dogs to his house or likes to visit other homes. Bear has free reign of the house and sleeps with us.

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!”
