Doggy Day Care in Mecklenburg

“Alex was super communicative before, during, and after Jack’s daycare visit. He made Jack feel very comfortable when we arrived and was attentive to any extra care he’d need as a senior dog. Jack will be back!”

“We were passing through town and needed daycare for our chihuahua. Shihong took Peanut on short notice, picked her up to take her on a walk around the block with his dog, Cotton, and reported back that things were going well! Peanut had a couple accidents in the house and he was unfazed. He was diligent about socializing her to his dog and by the end of the day they were snuggled in the crate together. Wish we could bring Peanut to Shihong every day! Highly recommend.”

“Hiedi was over the top great! She went above and beyond to give my dog Archie a great first daycare experience. She went to lengths to make sure he was comfortable with her dog, and vice versa. He came home totally happy, relaxed and tired. He can't wait to see Hiedi and Kenzi again!!”

“Our dog Indy has separation anxiety so we are always hesitant to leave him with others. All of that hesitation melted away when we met Claudia! She is such a caring individual, and she was truly able to get Indy to come out of his shell and relax while staying with her. When I picked Indy up he was calm and relaxed and seemed like he actually wanted to stay with her! And Claudia's communication was excellent as well. All the photos really put our mind at ease.”

“Our miniature poodle came home happy and exercised from his fun day with Hanna and her pups. We enjoyed the pics Hanna sent us too and would definitely book with Hanna again.”

“I needed a sitter last minute and I’m so glad I found Sheila. She provided a comforting environment for my little chihuahua. Highly recommend booking with her!”

“Laura was very helpful and communicative. She not only took good care of our dog but also shared her knowledge about Cornell and Ithaca. She even gave us treats for our dog when she returned her to us.”

Lisa S.

“Kathy and Tim are such nice people and we felt so comfortable leaving our dog there! They have a huge fenced in yard, and took good care of our pup.”

Donna D.

“We came to Ithaca to attend my son’s college graduation and didn’t want to leave our little dog alone. Ashley was very quick to respond to our inquiry. She and her family (including a cute cavalier King Charles) are so sweet. Our little pup Lily had a great time under their care. Ashley sent us the most adorable pictures of Lily and her young son. I would love to send Lily back to her if we come back to Ithaca.”

“Love how flexible they are. This my 6 time booking with them for, I have used them for day car, and dog boarding. Both times lil bear seems to love it there he goes right in, he was introduced slowly to each dog and I never am worried when he is there.”

“Amanda was so helpful when we needed help with a day-stay last minute. Moose seemed happy + calm when we picked him up. Would definitely book again!”

About: I have been lucky enough to spend time with dogs of a range of ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups who need a slower pace and a gentle touch. I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs, just let me know! I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious dogs, and I always move at their pace. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language, so I can respond quickly if something seem off. But most importantly, I make sure that they're safe and happy, while waiting for their favorite person to come back to them. Caring for the fluffy angels is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my daily life. My schedule is flexible and I can work from home, which means I can dedicate quality time to walks, play, feeding, and companionship without rushing. Whether I'm welcoming pets into my home or caring for them in their own space, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I live in a quiet apartment surrounded by forest and green space, with very little car traffic in the neighborhood, which is perfect for peaceful walks and outdoor sniff time. At my place, I maintain a clean and cozy space with plenty of room for your doggie or kitty to lounge, play, or nap. In your home, I'll respect the privacy and cleaness of your space. I will follow your care instructions closely, from feeding routines to medication schedules and favorite toys, because I know how important familiarity and consistency is to their happiness.

“My dog Storm is very happy about his doggy daycare with Kelly and when I say her name to him he jumps with joy. He will be going back again she took excellent care of him.”

“Mahima took great care of Bodhi and they had a fun day together!”

Sarah H.

“Yangmi was very sweet and caring with my dog. I really liked her recap of the stay with photos and a potty summary. Her resident dog is friendly and playful, which was great to help tire my pup out!”

Julie F.

“Kyle took excellent care of my elderly Maltese, Sammy. It was a relief that he was able to take care of Sammy on short notice and give my skittish dog a calm place to stay. He always responded quickly to messages and sent me a picture of Sammy each day. I would happily let him watch Sammy again if we come back to Ithaca.”

Sonja K.

“Bianca was absolutely amazing! We really couldn’t have asked for more. She was so flexible and kind to our dog, Mocha. She played with our dog and did training sessions with her. She also has a fun, playful dog, Bear! Bianca also sent us updates about Mocha as well as super cute videos and pictures. We would definitely go with Bianca in the future, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fun and safe place for their dog to stay!!”

Lincoln H.

“Jill was just great! Flexible and friendly, quick with all communication. She was very attentive to Marshall’s needs and made sure that all the dogs integrated well. Marshall had fun playing with her dogs and going on walks. We received videos of him having a good time. Will definitely bring Marshall here again whenever we are in the area.”

I am an incredibly active person, I spend my spare time backpacking and hiking and love to bring my dogs with me on my weekend camping trips.

My husband often joins me for dinner on overnights, he is also available as a back up walker in case of any emergencies. At my home we have a small back yard and our apartment is very dog friend, both of my dogs are good with dogs and up to date on their shots.

About: I grew up raising and training Irish setters, and have trained 2 rescue dogs as an adult that came to be with behavioral issues. One of them now enjoys obstacle course training! I'm very active, love to hike and run, and will ensure your dog gets just the right level of activity they need. I just recently left my full time job, so I currently have extensive availability. Most often, I will be able to come at the last minute as well. I will be coming to your home only for services, I will not be bringing your dog to my home.
