Doggy Day Care North

“Debra was wonderful with my dog Kiwi who gets scared in new situations. I saw how he took to her and he looked very comfortable to be with her and excited to play with her dogs. Thanks Debra!!!”

“Dawn is a great dog sitter. She took lots of photos, and her dog Rice was a wonderful host too! She took care of Ruby and Toasty for the day in her home as a "trial run" to make sure all 3 dogs were compatible so we will definitely be using her in the future for extended stays. Highly recommend.”

“Ivy is an awesome sitter! She is communicative and sends multiple updates through the day; I love getting cute mid-play action pics! Her dog, Skylar, is just the cutest and is super friendly. My pup wasted no time warming up to her and playing right away. Will definitely book again ☺️”

About: Ive taken care of dogs for my friends and family since college and until recently, had an amazing little Maltese named Sawyer for 14 wonderful years. After his passing earlier this year, I have had 3 different housesitting jobs for my friends which has shown me how much I miss having an animal companion, but I am just not ready to get another one. The max number of dogs that I have ever watched was four but depending on temperament, I could be comfortable with more. By working from home, I’m able to care for dogs in my home or travel to your home, depending on your preference. My typical work schedule is 8:00 AM–5:00 PM, and because I work remotely, I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and, of course, lots of cuddles. I’m happiest when I’m curled up with a good book and a fur baby nearby. My experience with pet sitting has primarily been with families whose pets are not crate trained, so I’m very comfortable with pets having access to furniture and sleeping in the bed. The animals in my life have always been treated as part of the family, and I’m comfortable accommodating different routines and personalities. I have experience caring for dogs who are graze eaters as well as dogs who follow a specific feeding schedule. Before he passed, my little guy was taking several medications, so I’m also comfortable administering medications and keeping up with specific timing and routines. I live in a ranch-style townhouse with a yard, although it is not fenced in. Because of this, I would always follow the owner’s instructions regarding outdoor time and would not allow a pet outside unattended.

“Olga has taken wonderful care of Maple!”

About: Hello! I graduated from NC State and currently work in technology so I'm frequently working from home and can be there for your bff. I've been taking care of dogs (and cats) for 10+ years and 10/10 humans rate me as a good sitter. I currently don't have a dog or any pets at all as my work frequently requires me to travel so I'll be using this opportunity to fill that void. I like to stay active and am a frequent visitor of our local parks and green ways, I love to travel and see new places and curling up on the couch with a good cup of tea. I would be so delighted to hang out with your loved one while you are away!

“Paige was WONDERFUL! Very communicative and personable. She asked that I come 15–20 minutes early to discuss Dakota's routine, ask any questions, and tour her home and backyard. It made me feel super comfortable, and I appreciated her willingness to help. I will definitely book with her again!”

“Jack had an amazing first day with Lauren! He was worn out from all the fun! Lauren stayed in touch with pictures and let me know how Jack was doing. We just moved to the area and I'm thankful we've found Lauren!”

“Still in recovery from an attack by a large dog, our little seven pound puppy Maui needed extra TLC. Martine and Ron were as loving and caring as we could ever had hoped for. I recommend them most highly and without reservation!”

ANNA K.

“Melanie watched my bunny & was very communicative and sent pictures. A happy bun was returned. Thanks again :)”

“Sloane is the BEST!! Her updates are detailed with lots of photos, and as an anxious dog mom, I really appreciate that! Cooper has such a great time with her and always comes home tired from all the fun. 10/10, cannot recommend more!”

“It was the first time we left our dog, so were a little worried but Kim kept us posted about Teddy's stay there. She sent us pictures, our dog looked very happy. We will strongly recommend her and will use her service again.”

“Andrew was fantastic with my anxious pup! He provided updates and made my dog feel right at home. Highly recommend.”

About: I have grown up with dogs in the house (6) since I was a child! I have had 2 small dogs (a Pomeranian and a Shorkie) for 8 years and they get tired of each other so they love making new dog friends! I work from home so have the ability to be around your dog(s) 24/7! I work from home Monday - Friday and not mandatory to go into the office though I do love to go on Tuesdays but can miss it if you need your dog watched! I have 2 very friendly dogs to keep your dog(s) company and entertained! I don’t have a fenced in back yard yet but I have the capability to take them on walks and have a large townhome where they have space to roam and I can even crate your dog if you’d like but I let mine on the couch and sleep in bed with me!

“Absolutely amazing caregivers!!! My little angel had a blast with Yamy and Alfonso. They are completely understanding and gentle to my little fur baby. 110% booking again!!”

“Arden is the best! She took us in last minute and was super flexible with my schedule. Pups were happy and seemed to warm up to her immediately. We are from a different state so we didn’t get the chance to meet beforehand but I was confident she’d be a great fit and was correct! Anytime we are in town she will be our go to ☺️”

About: I have grown up with dogs (all English springer spaniels) and love them so much! They hold a special place in my heart. Due to my season of life, I’m not quiet ready to own one myself but would love to help you take the best care of yours. I have dog-sat many times over the years, am very disciplined and organized and will always play with your pup! I am recently a stay at home mom so have great flexibility through the week! Previously worked full time as an Occupational Therapist in a hospital setting. I have a fenced in back yard and walkable neighborhood with a nearby park and accessible sidewalks. I will be home during the pets visit.

About: I grew up with dogs and have always loved being around them. I have my own dog, Charlie, who is very friendly and loves other dogs. He has a lot of energy and enjoys having dog friends to play with. I work from home, so I am able to give your dog plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I’ve watched dogs for family and friends for years and am comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I love being outside and taking dogs on walks, playing fetch, and making sure they get plenty of exercise. I live in a house with a fenced in yard. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of the family while they’re with me. I’ll also send regular updates and pictures so you know they’re having a great time. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. I also have my own dog so watching another works right in to my schedule. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I make sure they have plenty of water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of attention. I follow any instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines, to help pets feel comfortable and safe while they’re in my care.

About: I have had dogs, cats and other small animals most of my life. I take care of my friends and family pets for extended amounts of time. I am able to give oral medication, injections and lots of belly rubs! I have fostered many dogs and that is how I adopted my most recent dog Lucy. 🐶 I am spending much of my time home. Your pup will get lots of love and attention from me and my girl Lucy throughout the day. I do not have a fenced yard. I live in the woods next to a nature preserve, so there are no other dogs nearby to chase. I NEVER take a dog off leash in my yard!!! I have a very large deck with railings that will prevent a dog from escaping. If the weather is nice, the dogs will sometimes hang out on the deck. There is a large area in the basement to play fetch and horseplay. My dog is crate trained and will stay in her crate when I leave the home. I prefer to have all dogs in a crate when I am not home to prevent an accidental peeing or pooping accident. The dogs typically sleep on the floor on a dog bed in my bedroom at night or in a crate, if that is what you prefer.

“Judy was super friendly and made Sadie feel welcome and comfortable. It was perfect for Sadie while we explored Raleigh. Judy seemed caring and attentive.”
