Doggy Day Care in New Hanover

“Chico, my elderly Chihuahua, went to doggie daycare with Amy in Columbia for a couple of hours while I met friends for lunch. Amy has such a wonderful way with animals; you can tell she really loves watching them. She took lots of photos, have Chico lots of attention and even had a pet guestbook for him to sign. Such a cute idea. If you ever need a pet sitter, I highly recommend Amy.”

“Haley is wonderful, always giving me details as my little man's anxiety around new people and places lessens every day. As soon as I met her and her children I knew that they'd have a calming influence on him. So glad I found her!!”

“Susan has been so incredibly amazing to our puppy Maxy. Her love, knowledge and passion for dogs is very evident in the way she interacts with and treats them. She went over training techniques with our puppy and also went out of her way to make her stay excellent! We were very lucky to have found Susan. She is seriously one of a kind and I would highly recommend her to all family and friends.”

“While traveling for the wknd to St Louis- I decided to pick Jennifer due to her previous ratings. I wanted to go out, adventure the area with a friend that lives in the area since my other plans unexpectedly changed. I didn’t want to leave my senior dogs alone in the Airbnb for more than a couple hours. The dogs and I met Jennifer the day before. She was flexible and patient with me while I was trying to figure out the Saturday times and plans on my end. She kept me posted with pictures and videos. I’m glad my boys felt at home at her place with other dogs and her daughter. I will use her next time I'm in the area. She helped ease stress off me so I didn’t have to worry about my boys being solo while I was out. Thank you once again!”

“Damica was awesome! She's professional and friendly. She took care of our dog for a few hours and during that time, she kept us up to date with how our puppy was doing. Very much recommend Damica and will definitely use her services the next time we visit St. Louis with Mookie!”

About: So I just love dogs. I have had dogs my whole life and will never not have one. I work from home and am very physically active so my lifestyle works well with dogs as I am around to simply hang out with the dogs or go on long walks if needed! Luckily I work from home as an attorney and am able to provide many walks and attention throughout the day. I also live in an area with a lake and multiple dog parks. I am extremely attentive with any dogs that I take care of. I will provide sitting with care and attention and make sure your dog is safe and taken care of.

“I’m so grateful for Laura and her family. She was incredibly flexible from start to finish, and my dog is completely worn out—in the best way! Laura gave her all the attention I couldn’t, and I couldn’t be more thankful.”

About: What sets me apart is that I am patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Since I stay at home, I can give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by following their usual routine and giving them lots of love and care. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I stay at home and can take care of my pet throughout the day. I feed them, give them water, play with them, and make sure they are comfortable. Taking care of my pet also keeps me active and gives me companionship at home. I care for pets by making sure they are fed, have fresh water, get exercise, and feel safe and comfortable. In my home, I provide attention, playtime, and a clean environment. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, and keeping the pet comfortable while the owner is away.

“Ashley and Wesley are incredible with all our fur babies. This includes day care, bathing, socializing and all around everything. We believe everyone needs an Ashley and Wesley!”

“My husband and I have never gone anywhere without our precious Molly. We have our son’s destination wedding to attend this month. We have both agonized over leaving Molly behind. A kennel or doggy day care was definitely out of the question. I had heard of Rover so we checked it out. Karissa is a Godsend. Her yard is perfect, she is affectionate and I know in my heart Molly will be exceptionally well cared for. We dropped Molly off this week for a trial day before leaving her a whole week. Karissa kept us updated with pictures and notes throughout the stay. Finding Karissa has eased our anxiety about leaving Molly. I highly recommend checking with Karissa if you are looking for a passionate, reliable sitter.”

“If you are a super picky dog parent like me, you will not trust your babies to just anyone looking to make a few extra bucks while you're away. Wendy's home is dog friendly with plenty of fresh clean water, comfortable furniture, baby gates to prevent door-dashing, and a well maintained HUGE secure fenced back yard with plenty of room for your dogs to run and explore! She is a wonderful pet parent, and her personal dogs are very well socialized, loved and cared for. 5 stars from this dog mom!”

“Nana was a phenomenal sitter! Her dog got along so well with mine and I could tell she was getting lots of attention and playtime because she’d come home and pass out immediately. And I loved the pictures! Would absolutely book with her again.”

About: As a High School Science Teacher and a dedicated father, I bring a level of care to pet sitting that is grounded in responsibility, observation, and routine. I understand that your pets are family, and they deserve a sitter who is as invested in their well-being as you are. I live in a quiet South City home (63111) featuring a fully fenced-in backyard. This offers your pups a secure, private environment where they can run, play, and explore safely—a rare find in many parts of the city! While I am currently a "cat dad" to my 8-year-old resident cat, I have been a lifelong dog owner. From my earliest childhood memories until earlier this year, dogs have always been a central part of my home and heart. This lifelong experience means I am deeply familiar with canine behavior, exercise needs, and the unique companionship they provide. I am an expert at managed, slow introductions to ensure that my senior cat and your pups coexist peacefully and safely. Daily Care: As a high school science teacher, I am currently on summer break and have transitioned into "full-time pet care" mode! My schedule is wide open from late May through mid-August, meaning I am home throughout the day to provide frequent potty breaks, backyard playtime, and plenty of companionship. Weekly Availability: I offer a rotating schedule for boarding. My calendar is always kept up-to-date, so you can easily see which days I am open for overnight stays or daycare only. Consistency: Because I am not balancing an office job during the summer, I can strictly adhere to whatever feeding, medication, or exercise schedule your pet requires. I pay close attention to details—from a dog’s body language and energy levels to their specific feeding and medication schedules. My goal is to create a predictable, low-stress environment where your pet feels like a member of the family. I have a fully (6 foot tall) fenced-in backyard where dogs can play safely. I always supervise yard time to ensure no "great escapes" or unwanted digging. I also always clean up after bathroom breaks in my yard. I use baby gates and separate "safe zones" to ensure my cat and your pups coexist peacefully. I worked for a vet clinic many years ago but still remember some emergency techniques. I can send daily photos and keep your vet's information at hand. It's also good for me to know more about your pet as in: Does your pet have any "triggers" (squirrels, mailmen, other dogs)? Are there any "off-limits" pieces of furniture or rooms? What is their favorite way to be comforted if they get homesick? Etc.

“Andrea took such great care of Mocha! She’s very responsive and accommodating. I highly recommend her for any and all pet care 😊 Mocha will be coming back for sure!”

“Frances is an amazing, caring and reliable pet sitter. I would trust her to take care of Cooper anytime! She also updated me with many pictures throughout the day, which I loved! I would 10/10 recommend Frances to be your dog sitter!”

“Ashlie and Phillip were great with my pup! Excellent communication both before and during our stay. Their home is a perfect environment for any dog who loves getting lots of attention and outdoor play.”

About: I grew up around dogs working at a grooming shop and love animals! My children are older. They are 21 and 18 and loves animals as well! I do wfh. I’m available during the week and weekends as well. I do have a Pom-a-Poo, Brooklyn and a cat, Milo. They are sweet and loving! I enjoy on nice days taking dogs to the dog park, walks on trails, or through my neighborhood. I do not have a fenced in yard but will take them outside on a leash frequently. I have dog sat for friends and family numerous of times so thought I’d expand and help other people so they feel like their beloved animal is taken care of and in good hands while they are away! I have plenty of time to play with your pups and available pretty much 7 days a week! During the day someone is generally always home. I have a fenced in yard. I also ask if your dog is crated to bring your crate as well. I feed them on the schedule you provide and walks as well I am currently working from home and available to maintain any schedule or routine as needed to ensure dog/puppy day to day in minimally disrupted I have a fenced in yard and make sure I do not leave out items they can get into or harmful to ensure their safety
