Doggy Day Care Ironsides

“Seyla is absolutely amazing. When I've had emergencies, last minute work schedule changes he has definitely come through for me. Izzy absolutely loves it with him and her fur friends. They have become her 2nd family”

“We were visiting from out of town for our sons wedding and needed a last minute sitter. Thankfully we found Megan! Olive had a great time with Megan. She was a happy and worn out pup by the time we picked her up.”

“Morgan is amazing ! I’m in the process of selling my home and had a pre-planned event prior to scheduling my open house. Morgan came to pick up my boys they had a blast and he dropped them home after the open house was over! Morgan is a great communicator and it’s evident that he loves dogs and they love him!”

About: I have taken care of other people's pets for 15+ years along with housesitting. I have also worked for Wag! (Dog walking app) for years and I have also worked professionally for Queen City Pet-sitting in North Carolina. I am energetic, outgoing, patient, experienced, adaptable, and passionate. I am also a professional contemporary dancer and teacher. I have owned dogs, cats, fish, birds, hermit crabs, and a turtle. I am friendly, reliable, punctual, and would love to take care of your pet(s)! Let me know if you have any questions or anything else you’d like to know. My availability is flexible so any time you need me, I can help out. I also have my own car so transportation is not a problem. I have a fenced in yard. I also live close to a greenway for nice long walks. I can easily crate your pet if needed as well.

“I left my corgi with Anna for the day, and she must have had a lot of fun. She was snoring on the drive home. I’ll be booking Anna for my upcoming trip out of town.”

“Connie was amazing with Thor! Besides being available last minute, she went above and beyond. She has a super warm personality and made Thor feel at ease right away. He was so happy to run around in her yard. She even packed some homemade treats for him to take home! She was just fantastic and I highly recommend. We will absolutely reach out again when we need help with our pup.”

“Mickey is amazing with dogs. He knows exactly what he is talking about and it is clear that he just has our Dexter’s best interest at heart while he is in his care. So happy we found someone that matches our needs so well!”

“Vanessa and Geoffrey were so kind and professional with the initial meet and greet for doggy daycare. They sent lots of updates and pictures to put my mind at ease. This was our first in-home dog care experience, and we will definitely be back!”

“Jessica is great with Sarge. He gets so excited when he realizes where we are and can’t wait to go and play. I’ve used her many times and will continue to do so.”

About: I offer a premium boarding experience because I believe every dog deserves to be treated like family, not inventory. I strictly limit my capacity to one or two dogs to ensure they get the attention and peace of mind they need. My home is a real home, not a kennel. I currently care for Violet, a Belgian Malinois service dog, and Scarlet, a Maine Coon kitten. My experience goes far beyond that, too. My journey has taken me from volunteering with A Forever Home Dog Rescue to a wildlife rescue in Virginia, and now to raising neonatal kittens from just a few hours old. I have a unique skill set for managing a wide range of animals—from fragile newborns to high-energy working dogs—in a calm, household setting. While you might find cheaper options elsewhere ($30–$40/day), those often involve high-volume, kennel-style setups with multiple dogs in separate rooms. My $60/day rate reflects the exclusive, one-on-one care and quiet environment you get here. You aren't paying for a bed in a facility; you're paying for a home where your dog is an honored guest. Pet Care is Family Life, Not a Job My home operates on a calm, consistent routine designed to make every guest feel safe and settled. As a remote worker with a quiet home, I am present and available throughout the day. Morning: We start with a gentle wake-up, a potty break, and breakfast. Daytime: While I work, your pet is right beside me—a quiet companion in a comfy dog bed or in a safe play area. I check in frequently for water, a quick snack, or a cuddle. Afternoon: We have dedicated time for one-on-one play, mental stimulation, or a relaxing walk (weather permitting). Evening: We wind down together, often with quiet time before bed. Because I host only one or two guests, this routine is tailored to your pet's needs, not a generic schedule for a group. There are no crowded kennel hours or constant noise; just a steady, loving presence. My home is a safe, controlled environment where safety is my top priority. Because I treat every pet as family, I maintain strict protocols to ensure their well-being. Supervision: I am home full-time and provide constant supervision. There is no "cage time" or unsupervised roaming. Secure Environment: My home is pet-proofed. I do not leave pets unattended in crates for long periods; they are integrated into family life. Emergency Preparedness: I have an SUV ready for immediate transport to the vet. I carry a fully stocked pet first-aid kit and have a clear emergency action plan for every guest. Background Checks: I have passed a basic background check and maintain a 100% response rate, ensuring reliability and trust. I also maintain an active government clearance. Health & Hygiene: I follow strict cleaning protocols, especially given my experience with neonatal kittens (who are highly susceptible to illness). I isolate new guests if needed and monitor health closely.

“Our dear Pup ALWAYS has a good time hanging out with Larissa! When he knows that we’re pulling up to her house, he starts to get SUPER excited which makes us feel good❤️! She is truly a godsend!!”

Charmel J.

“Everything went well Erica was always ready for my to drop off Cosmo despite it typically be very early. Cosmo can be kind of a dirty dog, but she kept him clean and well taken care of. She updated me on how he was doing and sent pictures.”

Ashlie H.

“Aiden and her wonderful family have been fantastic sitters! BELLA is usually very skittish about new places but she has been very excited to go to doggy day care. Highly recommended!”

Derek Z.

“This was a great day for my baby! This was her first day away from after not even having her a week. I really appreciated the pictures and messages when I was at work. Made me feel more at ease.”

Des N.

“My dog Diego had never been in doggie daycare before and I was nervous to leave him. Also being a puppy, I felt bad knowing he doesn't always know his strength and when to go out. He was evidently a good dog, and I didn't have to come get him early. I highly recommend Eldeen!”

Gabriela K.

“Tiffany was an absolute delight to book with!! From the very beginning, she was very prompt in her responses and answered any questions that I had. I am a newer dog mom, so she put me at ease due to her kindness and professionalism. She was very flexible with drop-off/pickup times, which I know can be tough for most. That was a huge plus! She also communicated throughout the day with updates and cute photos of my fur baby so I knew he was safe and well taken care of. If I could, I would give her 10/5 stars! I definitely plan to book with her again in the near future! Thanks again Tiffany!”

Sheridan S.

“Jesus is so knowledgeable and accomodating- he knew exactly how to handle my high energy pup and safely introduce Lenny to the crew. I'll definitely be asking Jesus to watch Lenny again!”

About: I am a lifetime pet owner and I would love to provide quality care for your pets. Your pets will never know you are gone!! I agree that I dont have many reviews mainly because I haven't kept many pets through Rover. But those I have kept love my care. Give us a try and I promise your fur baby will be safe, happy, fed, and loved while here! I now have one 14 yo senior dog who knows he is loved. I rescued him from a shelter 13 years ago and he has been by my side ever since. He is a tri-paw, a 6 year cancer conqueror and the best boy. He welcomes new furry pals and in his old age really just prefers to say hello and then lounge all day. We do a daily walk around the neighborhood and he still looks forward to it. I took care of him when his leg was amputated 6 years ago due to cancer and when a tumor was recently removed. I feel pretty good about giving your darling meds or other medical treatments if necessary. Your furry baby will be well taken care of. I have a fenced in yard and I do walks. I have cared for younger dogs also who want to play and fetch and run. Your dog will be safe in my home and I will do my best to keep your dog on the schedule that you have.
