Doggy Day Care in Idlewild South, Charlotte, NC

“Jeanette took very good care of Lucy and Ricky on very short notice. She was able to accommodate me and watch my babies the same day I called her.”

“Dana was the first sitter I used for my pup and she was absolutely amazing! My dog is very particular about things and she made sure his first day was fun and comfortable. He looked so happy and was throughly exhausted by the end of the day! Highly recommend!”

About: Thanks for reaching out! We’re often flooded with dog requests through Rover and beyond, so replies may take a bit. If your booking is 2+ weeks out, please know we haven’t forgotten you—we prioritize upcoming stays to ensure current pups are well cared for. Thanks for your patience and understanding! Waking up every day to the same routine with animals is one of the biggest reasons I get out of bed—it fills me with purpose and joy! Every animal brings something new and special, and I truly look forward to what each day holds with them. Over the past 9 years, I’ve learned to feel what dogs are feeling, and that connection has become my superpower—because let’s be real, they don’t speak English, but they speak with their hearts, and I’ve learned to listen to that! 🐾❤️✨ I have extensive experience in pet care, having owned and operated a successful dog kennel and training business. I specialize in obedience training, socialization, and caring for both puppies and senior dogs. My hands-on experience allows me to handle dogs of all temperaments and provide a safe, loving environment. Whether it’s administering medication, working on behavioral training, or giving them plenty of playtime, I ensure every pet gets personalized care. My passion and dedication set me apart, making sure your furry family members are in the best hands. Safety is and will always be priority! 💕 we’re dedicated to providing a safe, structured, and loving environment for every dog in our care. As a private, home-based service—not a walk-in facility—we kindly ask that pet parents do not enter our home during drop-off or pick-up unless we kindly request. This isn’t about cleanliness—our space is well-kept—but about safety, structure, and respecting our environment. Unplanned visits can increase anxiety for dogs and disrupt carefully managed routines and introductions. For both privacy and religious reasons, we limit access to personal areas. Rest assured, your pup is in experienced, professional hands. Thanks for helping us keep things calm and safe for all! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I have experience managing a dog boarding and training business, so my days revolve around providing consistent care, exercise, and attention to pets. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, training, or cuddles, I make sure each pet gets the love and structure they need. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate different routines, ensuring pets feel at home and well cared for. I provide a safe, loving environment with a fenced yard. I accommodate all needs, including crating, medication administration, and supervised playtime. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities!

“We've been so happy with Enzo's daycare! Busy is an energetic dog full of personality and Enzo has welcome her into his home and made sure that her play with other dogs is safe and fun! She's made a lot of friends (with both dogs and human members of the house) and is absolutely exhausted when she comes home- who doesn't look a sleeping dog?!? Enzo sends tons of updates throughout the day and is always available if I need to reach him. We will definitely continue to book with Enzo in the future!!”

About: I have 9yrs experience of taking care of a German Shepard mix. I understand no two dogs are the same and each some with their own personalities and needs. I work fully remote at home and have a pretty flexible schedule! That being said, I would be available 24/7 and happy to organize a pick up or drop off time that works best for you. I have a 2,300sq foot house in Cotswold with a huge fenced in backyard. I’m happy to host here or at your house based on your pets needs. I don’t have any pets and just one roommate whose hallway will be blocked off. Otherwise, my home environment is calm and open.

“Mariel was amazing with Arlo! She sent me videos and picture throughout the day. Arlo had a blast running around the yard and loved having new friends. I will definitely book with her again.”

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.

About: I welcome all kinds and breeds, as long as they can be social with my dog, Kodi. Overnights are like a slumber party at my house 😂❤️🐾! I can usually get a good read from dogs and know when they need a walk or just love. My fenced in backyard is ideal for playtime and lots of exercise! I live in a quiet neighborhood on a cul-de-sac and generally walk dogs 3 times a day, unless they have higher energy which requires a few extra strolls around the neighborhood. Dogs all sleep in the bed with me, unless the owner specifies otherwise. I would love the opportunity to take care of your furry friend! They will come home worn out and very happy! Nothing makes me happier than the smile on a dogs face after a good playtime. I provide tons of love and attention as well as belly rubs and cuddles if needed. If your baby wants to be spoiled, bring them to Aunty Anna.

About: I have a 3yo doodle names Olly who I love to death. I treat my dog as if they were human! Your pup will get plenty of love, affection, cuddles, & play time! I’ve pet sat before and absolutely love it. My furbaby is social and would love some company! My residence is spacious with lots of walking trails and dog parks. I am available to care for your furbaby for a short stay or a long stay. Please reach out, I know how unsettling it can be to leave your pet. I will put your mind at ease with great communication and lots of photos/videos. I look forward to getting to know you and your pup! Will provide: treats (if allowed), toys, oral care, hairbrush, will clean paws. Interaction several times a day is key! From playing with her on the floor, playing tug, giving her physical exercise as well as mental exercises (puzzles, snuffle mat, wobble, kong). I have plenty of dog stim items to keep all pets fulfilled. I like going on trails and different parks too! Safety, trust and communication is my top priority. I will treat your pet as mine. I have a flexible work schedule and can work with your needs.

About: Hello, Rover world! My name is Gerardo, and I am the proud human to Elle and Tayter Dot. I would love to find fun playmates for my girls by hosting your pets! Please understand that I will not host any dogs we have not previously met, for the safety of all involved. Any pets should be housebroken and crate-trained. During the week, they will be at home with me as I work from home. During evenings and weekends, they will only be crated during times when I am away from the home. They can expect fresh water, a clean home, a yard to run in, and lots of treats. (Maybe also a weird dog voice...sorry not sorry!) I do my best to walk the girls more than once a day. We are regulars at various trails and greenways, as well as hanging with other friends and their dogs. My spouse and I are attentive to the needs of our girls, and will treat your dog like one of our own. You can expect your dog to be loved on, with lots of fetch in the yard, snuggles on the couch, and homemade treats for all.

About: Hi! As a dog owner myself (and user of Rover.com), I understand the feeling of wanting to avoid boarding your dog while you're away. Although there are plenty of great dog boarding facilities, there's nothing like your four-legged friend being taken care of by someone you trust in their own home. I look forward to caring for your puppers just as I do my own! Although I didn't grow up with or have years of experience with dogs, I am 100% a dog lover. Big small, old young...I can't get enough! Growing up, my family always had cats, which was great. But the first chance I got when I moved out, I got a dog and never looked back. I adopted my Cocker Spaniel, Broney, in November 2013 and he has become my most favorite creature on this earth! I have dog sat before for my friends and have had no issues. I love to take my pup on walks through our neighborhood, to the park, play fetch, etc. We are definitely happy to just chill on the couch too. We're very flexible! I look forward to caring for your bestie just like I do mine. If you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to ask!

About: Jason and I have had dogs living with us our entire lives. They are an extension of family, so you can be assured your furbaby will be looked after as if it was our own. We are in our thirties. Jason grew up with German shepherds and I grew up with Scottish and jack russell terriers. Additionally, Zoey our 6-year old beagle mix has been under our care since we adopted her at a shelter as a puppy. Weekdays: Between both of our work schedules, either Jason or I will be home at almost all times M-F. I work from home 3-4 days out of the week and Jason is home until 3PM each weekday. On the days I am not working from home, I get home by 5:30-6. Weekends: The longest we leave our dog Zoey on the weekend is 4 hours, but that's a rare occasion. Jason & I are homebodies and prefer to be with the pups snuggling on the couch or going for walks in the neighborhood. Our philosophy is to make your dog's stay as close to being at home as possible. For this reason, we only accept 1 dog per booking (we can accommodate siblings). By doing so, we can adapt to our guests feeding / walking times and give them more individualized attention. In addition, this removes the opportunity for altercations between animals who aren't familiar with one another. We live on 1/2 an acre with a fenced in yard in south Charlotte just 15 minutes from Uptown. We are near a large dog park which has separate fenced running areas for large and small dogs. Additionally, we have access to two walking trails from our neighborhood. Our home is all hardwood floors, which the dogs like to lay on during the summer to cool off. We also have three dog beds, though we allow (and encourage) dogs on the couch/bed. Our living room has two sliding doors which open up to the fenced yard making it quite easy to accommodate potty breaks. We routinely see wildlife in our backyard (squirrels, deer, etc.) and our windows are only a few inches off the ground - - a convenient height for small dogs to see outside.
