Doggy Day Care in Kure Beach

“Una loved her stay with Julia! Julia provided LOTS of pictures of Una's first visit. It was clear Una was enjoying running, playing with other dogs, and going on a walk. We'll be bringing her back to Julia in the future!”

“Derek was great with our mini goldendoodle! We were vacationing in Wilmington and realized our dog wouldn't stop whining in the hotel. Derek was able to watch Knox last minute so we could have a date night. We were so thankful and Knox seemed to love him!”

“Jerry was absolutely amazing! My booking was pretty last minute because I was so scrambled that weekend, but Jerry was able to pull through and helped me so much! Bud looked like he had an absolute blast with Jerry and Bud got taken on so many new adventures which he looked like he absolutely loved. Jerry was even able to pick up Bud for me which saved me so much time that morning and gave him a bath for me before I went to go pick up Bud later that day! Jerry is literally so amazing and I will definitely book with him again in the future!”

“My pups had a great time at Andrea's house. She sent photos and updates about them throughout the day. She also accommodated our needs for an early drop off time as well as a late pickup. We will book with her again!”

About: I currently foster dogs and teach basic training for puppies/young dogs. I have a lot of experience with high energy dogs. I have worked at with dogs at boarding kennels and a dog rescue in which I have handled a variety of different dogs breeds with many different personalities and needs. I take dogs to wildlife areas and the beaches to run on and off leash if client is confident with their dog listening. I currently work from home, and my schedule is pretty flexible. I can work Monday’s to Friday’s and most weekends. I will keep my schedule updated through the app. I have a fenced in yard and monitor dogs when outside. I monitor pets with toys and spend time playing with dogs. If requested, I will provided basic training lessons, but price will vary. I am trained in e-collar training. I also, use a method that is a mix positive reinforcement/treats with repercussions. Method of training or handling the dog is discussed with the client and what training shall be focused on. I am trained in animal behavior and can notice if dogs become aggressive with people or other animals if requested for dogs to engage with other dogs. I always encourage clients to have their dogs engage in activities outside the home to get the dog more comfortable around people, other dogs, and people. Also to be handled walking on a leash and practice good behavior. Unless the dog is extremely aggressive and not good around other people or animals, I believe it is crucial for young dogs to practice socializing. Please be honest and inform me of any medical issues, aggression, other behavioral issues, and what toys they are allowed to have.

“Jess was great at making me feel comfortable prior to our first doggy day care day with her. She offered a site visit, but I chose to do a video call instead for ease of my schedule. Through talking to her I instantly knew she would be a great fit for my dog. Upon drop off, she welcomed me in so I could see where Norton would be for the day. She sent several updates with pictures throughout the day. Norton seemed to have a good time and felt relaxed in her home. Thank you Jess for the peace of mind taking care of my furbaby while we did a day trip. We will definitely use Jess again.”

“Benny loved his time with Amy and he was exhausted on the ride back to Charlotte! I really appreciated the pictures as well - Benny seemed very comfortable and loved in Amy’s home. His energy levels are high at times, but she clearly handled it well. We’ll be back when in Wilmington!”

“Brian and his lovely wife did a super job caring for our dog while we were away for the day. Lucy was happy and healthy when we returned, and we appreciated Brian touching base during our time away to give us peace of mind that everything was going well. Lucy had a wonderful time. Thank you!!”

“Erin was great! We were visiting from out of town and she watched our pup during the day while we were out and about. She was super responsive and accommodating. Would definitely recommend her.”

Jodi N.

“Benji had an absolute blast staying for the day with Helena! He didn’t want to leave at the end of the visit so I am sure we will be repeat clients!”

“Angela exceeded our expectations and hopes. Our loved Rat Terrier (Matisse) is now 16 and struggling, long walks playful pet-friends is not what our girl needed. When work conflicts interfered with our ability to care for her during a few days, my wife and I were sure one of us would have to change plans. Angela's experience caring for her dachshund gave us hope that she would be an understanding caretaker of our Matisse, Angela exceeded our hopes and Matisse has a new friend. Angela shared that she's taking pets part time to fill the silence left by her dachshund; while this may not a business, caring for an elderly pet with special needs is beyond the scope of play and Angela should be compensated as such. Thank you, I hope Matisse is with us much longer and can visit again.”

“Robert was quick to respond and give us a dog-free day while at the beach with family. Wednesday was happy for the dog company and came back happy and tired!”

“Valerie was very easy to work with. I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby with her for the day. I would definitely recommend her and use her again.”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child. As an adult I gave rescued and fostered all sizes and breeds. Dogs have filled my homes with love and joy and I look forward to sharing my large fenced back yard with a playful puppy or a well seasoned frisbee catcher I currently work three days a week, no more than 6 hours per day. I can visit twice daily, depending on location if a walk is needed. If I am pet sitting or boarding the pets will not be alone for more than 5 hours at a time. I have a large fenced yard with a 1/4 mile walking path just beyond the gate, backing up to Haliburton Park. I am also just 10 minutes from Carolina Beach State Park and the dog park if your pup likes to socialize

“Sarah agreed to take Millie for a long Saturday and she was absolutely excellent! Millie had a great time with her pup and felt right at home. Thank you Sarah!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets in my neighborhood since I was a kid. As a responsible dog owner I have trained my own doggo’s and helped friends and family nearby potty, crate, and behavior train their pups. I have patience for puppies, seniors, and rascals in between. I work from home so your pup or dog will never be in a crate unless otherwise instructed by you, the pawrent. Lower price and rates are offered during our meet and greet time. I hope we get the chance to meet and the opportunity to care for your 4-legged child! I currently work from home and have a fenced in yard to watch puppies/dogs from my own home or at yours. My schedule is extremely flexible and dogs/puppies will have constant supervision. I have a fully fenced in yard and live in a safe neighborhood with sidewalks if walks are requested/needed/wanted. My home currently has one fluffy good boy that can keep your dog/pup entertained. I also have a gate for room division and crate if you prefer to keep dogs separated or work on crate training time as requested. I prefer to keep your and my dog roaming/free of crates unless otherwise instructed.

“Very good with Hank and he returned to us so tired from playtime!”
