Doggy Day Care in Haw River

“Sarah and Josiah always take great care of our pup! He was so happy to hang out with them today and is absolutely exhausted now that he’s home - which means he had way too much fun!”

Ashley B.

“Freddy and Monica were perfect for my little girl! She is shy and takes a little while to warm up to new people and friends but she quickly made herself comfortable and right at home with Freddy and Monica. They were professional, attentive to her needs/safety, and took great pictures of her throughout the day. I would highly recommend and will definitely be using them again!”

“Our experience with Kenan was just what we needed. We have a highly anxious rescue boy with severe separation anxiety, yet we knew from the moment we met Kenan that our dog was in good hands. Kenan greeted Hank (our dog) by sitting on the ground and allowing Hank to see that he was safe. Kenan also took Hank and his new friend, Paco (another dog) on a long walk on their beautiful farm, and knew when it was time to provide some down time. Hank came home happy and exhausted, and he will undoubtedly be returning to the farm!”

“Grace was amazing and sent me updates throughout my dog’s afternoon stay. I know my girl had a great time because she slept the rest of the evening after we got home.”

“Erin is very responsive, flexible about timing for drop-off and pick-up and I can tell she loves doggies! She stayed in contact with me throughout Milly's stay to let me know how she was doing! Large fenced in back yard for the pups to run and play! When I picked Milly up, I could tell she had a great time (even slept the three hours home)! I will definitely be using Erin in the future when we travel to Elon to visit my daughter and would recommend her to others staying in the area! Thank again Erin!!”

About: I'm your purr-fect pet sitter, dedicated to caring for both your little and big fur babies! Pet sitting is a passion of mine that I thoroughly enjoy and love. Each pet brings its own unique personality into my life, and I cherish the bond that forms, like gaining a new bestie with every visit! Throughout college, I supported myself by pet sitting for coworkers and friends, treating each furry baby with the same love and attention I would give to a child. You can trust that your beloved pets will be in excellent hands under my care! I'm open to caring for all dogs and cats, catering to their individual needs and preferences. Whether they love car rides, walk, play with chew toys, or snuggle up for some quality time, I'm here to provide the care and companionship they deserve. Let's make every moment together a tail-wagging, purr-fectly delightful experience! I currently work from home so I have a pretty flexible schedule to care for your fur baby when needed. I go for walks throughout the day during my lunch and 15-minute breaks. I live in a safe apartment complex that has a designated area for your pet to run and play. I stick to a consistent feeding schedule and ensure clean, fresh water is always available. IF grooming needs are needed, I love to offer paw-spa days :) Most importantly, spending quality time, offering love, attention, and affection is my favorite part of having a furry friend! Whether in your home or my home, I provide attentive and responsible care tailored to the specific needs of your pet and the situation!

About: My name is Erin and I've been In the dog industry for over 18 years. I'm a Certified professional dog trainer and also pet first aid and CPR certified. I currently own my own company training. I graduated from National K9 school for Dog trainers in 2016 and have done internships across the country. I've had dogs my entire life but really got involved with them after having cancer when I was 13, during that time I couldn't be around humans because of how lowered my immune system was, so I spend alot of time with therapy dogs. In a way, dogs saved my life and kept my spirits up during a very hard time in my life, and now I plan to dedicate my time to making every dog I come across happy! I personally have 2 dogs. My oldest is an Australian shepherd mix named Dodge who is almost 11, And Rebel is a Belgian Malinois who just turned 8! My whole life is dogs and has been for as long as I can remember. I have a very active dog myself and I know what a challenge it can be sometimes. I'm canine CPR and first aid certified with many refrences both personal and professional. Dogs are never left unattended and are usually double leashed when possible.

About: I've owned dogs most of my life. Looking to provide care for other pet owners during the week. Life mission to pet all the dogs! I am available Monday to Thursday and some morning weekends. I can provide in home care, walking, feeding, and companionship during the week or before 2p weekends. I am a trustworthy animal loving person looking to provide care for lonely pets during the week at your home or provide walks or trips to a dog park as desired.

About: I’ve watched after many dogs, cats, and even bunnies of all ages since I was 12. While neighbors would go on vacation, they would rely on me to go over to their houses at least 3 times a day. I have three dogs myself and have been on ROVER for over a year. Usually my dad will come with me for meet and greets/first visits. Having three dogs myself, pet care is a big part of my daily routine! I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give plenty of time and attention to your dog(s). Walks, playtime, and making sure everyone is comfortable are priorities for me every stay. My family has a fenced-in side yard where dogs can safely play, and I also have three dogs of my own who love meeting new friends. If needed, I have multiple large kennels for crating to keep everything safe and organized. I make sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for while they’re here!

About: I have had cats and dogs throughout my life and have always been an animal lover. I have lots of experience with cats, dogs and horses and animals are comfortable with my calm nature. I am an honest and ethical person who believes in treating your pets the way I would want mine to be treated. My schedule may vary from week to week, but will revolve around the needs of the animals; generally, I work part-time from home and have a very flexible schedule. In your home, I can care for small to medium dogs, and cats of all sizes, as far as walking, playing, feeding, scratches, cuddles and belly rubs:-). I am only hesitant to walk large dogs if they may pull on the leash. Large, laid back, calm older dogs should be fine if they need to go for walks on the leash.

About: I prioritize every dog’s well-being above all else. With hands-on experience in puppy training—from basic commands to leash manners—and a knack for offering gentle, attentive care to seniors, I’m ready to handle every pup’s unique needs. Whether they’re bursting with energy or need a little extra TLC in their golden years, I ensure consistent routines, engaging activities, and plenty of love and affection. I incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routines, always with my friendly Goldendoodle Marty by my side! We schedule consistent walks, feedings, and play sessions to keep him active, happy, and well-cared for and I will do the same for your pups as well. I offer flexible care options—either in my safe, pet-friendly home or in yours. At my place, dogs can enjoy a spacious yard and fun playtime with my friendly Goldendoodle, Marty or solo. When I visit a client’s home, I stick to your pet’s usual routine, ensuring minimal disruption and plenty of one-on-one attention.

About: I've been working with dogs since childhood - my parents raised Pekingese & Dobermans. Even at 8 years old, I helped mama dogs birth their pups. My schoolmates thought it was gross, most adults thought it was weird, but I thought it was super cool to be a part of bringing life into the world through adorable little squeaking pups. Even though we were very ethical & loving with our pups, many backyard breeders are not, so I no longer agree with that. But as an adult, I fell in love with rescues & adopted a few over the years. Then I decided I wanted to be more involved with Rescues. So... I became a Foster Parent, assisted Black Dog Rescue, & was an integral part of Cooper's Companions Animal Rescue in Colorado before moving to NC. I usually ended up fostering unadoptable dogs & working with them extensively until they became adoptable. Then followed up with their new pet parents to help ensure success & making it stick. My specialty is working with fearful dogs, teaching pet owners how to get the behavior they want from their pet, leash training, & training dogs to walk on a treadmill. We have 2 little dogs who had a big 'sister' for many years, so all size dogs are welcome; Both of our pups are super dog-friendly. One of them loves to play with other dogs, and the other will play sometimes, but can be a bit of a snob. We want all dogs to enjoy staying with us, but... we won't tolerate a 'truly' aggressive dog in our home. My dogs don't attack other dogs, so should either of my dogs be attacked or if a human is bitten, the offender will be separated & crated inside, or placed in our separately fenced kennel area outside (only if you prefer) for the remainder of their stay. Any issues will be discussed with the dog owner to establish their preference in this regard. Otherwise, we'll shower your fur baby with love & attention so you won't have to worry about them when you're away. Please note: ***We will only board dogs which are spayed or neutered.*** If they are not spayed/neutered, we will be happy to do drop in or house-sitting care, but we will not be able to host in our own home. P.S. Rover says my response rate is 50%, but that's only because when I've been looking for a sitter for my own dogs and someone tells me in a message that they are unavailable, I don't usually respond. I just keep looking for an available sitter, so the software assumes I have a low response rate. 🙄 I work from home, so I'm almost always available unless we're on vacation or if in the event that I have to go on a business trip. We have a fenced in yard for your pup to play in. The previous home owners put in a separate fenced kennel, so that's an available option in case you prefer your dog to be separated. It's unusual, but some people do prefer that. We almost never use it, though.

About: What makes me special? Everything!!! A dog has always been a family member since I can remember. Thank God for loving parents who believed in bringing all kinds of pets in our home. We had birds, hamsters, and even the occasional snake or frog from the yard! There is a certain bond you get from a dog that you cannot get from any other animal, though...and I am lucky enough to have experienced that. My parents are proud owners of a rescue cat, and my sister's family has 3 kitties in their happy home!! They also have a sweet little gerbil that has somehow survived all of those felines! You can definitely tell we are a family of animal lovers!!! Since February 2017, my family "farm" has grown. I raised 21 babychicks from a day old...8 of which were ours, the rest for 2 other families...then we added 3 more, barely mature, hens and a rooster to our flock. It has definitely been a fun and wonderful learning experience! I have a wonderful rescued Pit, Buddy! We raised those chicks with Buddy around...so he is great with them! It's pretty amazing!!! (Oh...and just to clarify...Buddy will stay home during any visits/stays with your pet(s). That way you'll know your baby/babies are receiving the full attention they deserve!) Buddy is probably the most spoiled dog in the world because I make practically everything for him, from his shampoos (using essential oils) to his treats. He does get the dental treats at least once a day, but other than that...he's a gourmet doggie! I am a stay-at-home pup Mom...so on the 24 hour overnight visits with me, I'll only need to leave a couple of times during the day to take Buddy out to play, etc....he'll be with his Dad all night. Otherwise, I'm all yours, so if you need someone there to take your baby out literally every 2 hours or less, I can do it!! :-) I do Daycare a little different than Rover does...I only offer daycare in your home. I feel this is the best way to keep your pets in a place they feel super comfortable & with a sitter who will keep them happy, healthy and on their schedule completely. I will always keep you up to date on how your pet or pets are doing and will send you plenty of pictures if you wish! Extras services available: Baths with or w/o essential oils, Homemade bath soap with essential oils to-go (made with any requested oils from list), Doggie bag of treats to-go (made to your pet's dietary needs.) I have numerous flours available to meet any digestive issues. - No preservatives & human-grade (though some flavors may not suit human's taste buds!) By the way...I am no salesperson... & will never try to sell you any extras...these are just other things I offer if you are interested. Just feel free to ask if you are interested. :-)
