Information Monika W. would like to know about your pet

I would love info on their Temperament, meds, dietary needs, finicky eating, separation anxiety, food aggression. I like dogs to have a collar with ID tags.

A typical day

We love playing games but this is a very chill house. That’s why we love the older pooches. So snuggling and cuddling is big over here.

OLDER/CHILL DOGS Welcome. RAMP

Pet care experience

We love the older/senior or chill dogs here at The Pooch Palace NC. Our dogs Dusty and Daphne and all of our dog guests think our home and yard is a doggie oasis. We specialize in Senior dogs. D and D like to hang out rather then play with young holligans. We live in a 1950's ranch with a 1/2 acre of land. There is a lovely shadey yard and a covered deck with a DOG RAMP (for the injured or Older Pooches) for easy access. We both, Jeff and I, have grown up with dogs and as adults have rescued six that have lived happy long lives. We look forward to meeting you and your doggie family members. We love making new canine friends and hope your pet will see The Pooch Palace NC as their home away from home. We love to play fetch or just lounge around the house or deck on lazy days. There is an easy three step entrance into our home and a doggie ramp in the yard. Dusty and Daphne are super chill about relaxing and are only to willing to share couch time with their new buddies. Hope you can come visit us. The Pooch Palace NC, Thanks Monika, Jeff, Dusty Rhodes and Daphne Joy Winters-Sanchez

I have been using Monika and Jeff for years. My previous dog spent many days with them. I was so pleased that my new rescue fit in so well with their " pack". Bailey came from a puppy mill and they are teaching him how to be a dog. It's just what he needs. Monika and Jeff are wonderful. So are D and D.

What a dream! Monika and Jeff were so amazing to my little old man. He always had someone to hang with and cuddle, and I got photo updates! Will book again with them for sure !
