Doggy Day Care In Ponderosa-Wingate

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with dogs and my ability to adapt to each dog’s unique needs, personality, and energy level. I’ve had dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m very comfortable administering medication, following special diets, and giving extra attention to dogs with specific health or care needs. I also have experience with dogs at all life stages, including young pets who need patience, consistency, and structure, as well as senior dogs who may need a gentler pace, closer monitoring, and a little extra comfort. One of my biggest strengths is being able to match a dog’s energy. I’m just as happy spending a calm day on the couch with a relaxed pup as I am playing fetch at the park for hours with a high-energy dog. My goal is always to make each dog feel safe, understood, and cared for like they’re part of the family. As a full time remote student, I spend most of my day at home studying, baking and playing video games, which allows me to provide consistent attention and care for pets throughout the day. My flexible schedule makes it easy to incorporate regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and walks into my routine. I’m home the majority of the time, so pets aren’t left alone for long periods and can get plenty of supervision, companionship, and engagement. Whether it’s sticking to a specific routine or giving extra attention to more active dogs, I can easily adjust my day to meet each pet’s needs. My apartment community includes a fully fenced dog park perfect for quiet, one on one playtime in the mornings or socializing with other dogs in the afternoons. I also have a secure, dog friendly balcony that gets plenty of direct sunlight, ideal for pups who enjoy relaxing and sunbathing. For dogs that need more exercise, I’m located right along the rail trail in Southend, making it easy to provide longer, scenic walks as part of their daily routine.

“Mia is awesome- such a great communicator and gives great updates throughout each stay! Weezie has so much fun at the INN (whether for boarding or daycare), and we know she will be well taken care of!”

“Ariane did a great job watching Raizen. You can tell she really cares. I didn't worry about my pup once. Nanuk was super friendly and adorable. Raizen definitely made a friend.”

“Peggy was great with my baby girl! She made sure my pup had lots of plays throughout the day, and sent me pictures and updates. She was able to accommodate our booking request such short notice, which really helped us out. Peggy’s home was welcoming and had lots of space for my pup to run around with her pups. I would recommend Peggy if you’re in need of daycare!”

“Ryan is awesome!! He has watched my 2 large golden doodles for a long weekend, and for daycare and both experiences have been seamless! Ryan’s responds almost instantaneously and is always available in a pinch. He makes pick up and drop off super easy and send lots of updates! My dogs have a blast playing in his backyard.”

“Amanda was amazing and highly communicative throughout the entire stay. She went above and beyond to help my anxious pup feel comfortable, which made a huge difference. I really appreciated her care and attention.”

“My first time having to get a sitter for my 5 month old pup baby. Tawanda and her pup baby made sure he felt like he was home. I can truly say he had a blast, it was more like a play date for him. He is worn out now, he came home and got in the bed and went to sleep, he played so hard. She took very good care of him as if he was hers. We stayed in contact with each other and she sent me a video, so I can see his status. I highly recommend her because if I need her service again I will be contacting to request her. 10/10 Thanks Tawanda!”

“Adrienne, Jarrod, and their sweet boy Remy were wonderful hosts for our Ruthie. They kept her busy with walks and indulged her frisbee habit. It was so nice that they kept me posted on all her adventures. Ruthie can't wait to see them all again soon”

About: I grew up surrounded by dachshunds, so caring for dogs has always been second nature to me. While dachshunds hold a special place in my heart, I truly love all breeds and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with both energetic puppies and older dogs who may need extra care and comfort. What sets me apart is the way I focus on making every pet feel safe, loved, and at home, whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or simply cuddling😍 Pet care is just part of my everyday life since it’s such a priority for me. I’m usually free most weekdays and weekends, and of course I also make time for Tink. I take her to Skiptown a few times a week since she can be a stubborn little walker. I love going on the rail trail, and having a furry buddy to join me always makes it even better! I create a calm and relaxed environment with dog TV, provide plenty of love, treats, and give extra comfort to dogs missing their pawrent while they’re away.

“Christine and Andrew have been the best with taking care of Wilma weekly. They are sure to keep us updated and send pictures - they also make sure she gets plenty of toys :) Wilma looks forward to her time with them each week and it has been so seamless working with the both of them. I highly recommend working with them on pet sitting needs - they rock!”

Jaie J.

“Eric and Ana are simply amazing. They went out of their way to make our puppy feel loved and treated him as if he were their own. They were both extremely patient, providing us with daily feedback, and keeping us in the know while we were out of town. They went over and above to ensure our puppy was safe and happy. Could not recommend them more!”

Becky M.

“This was my first time using Rover and have a 12 week old puppy and Allyson made the experience great! She watched her all day and was very flexible on pick up/drop off times, she sent me pictures of my pup all day and my puppy came back tired and happy from playing all day. Would definitely use her again!”

About: I bring many years of hands-on animal care experience, both professionally and personally. I’ve worked in animal care and management roles for nearly a decade, where I was responsible for daily husbandry, health monitoring, medication administration, enrichment, and individualized care plans for pets of all temperaments and needs. I’m especially comfortable caring for senior pets, anxious pets, and animals with medical or behavioral considerations. I’m attentive to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and take a proactive, calm approach to ensure pets feel safe and supported. I also have experience with puppies, including reinforcing potty routines, basic training, and providing structure while keeping things positive and stress-free. Because I’m currently home full-time, your pet receives consistent supervision, companionship, and enrichment throughout the day — not just drop-ins between other commitments. I treat every pet as an individual, adapting my care to their personality, routine, and comfort level. Clear communication is important to me, and I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and notes so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is always the same: to make your pet feel secure, loved, and truly cared for in your absence. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I’m currently home full-time. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, timely meals, enrichment, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I structure my days around the pets in my care, adjusting to their normal schedules as closely as possible. Whether that means early morning walks, midday play sessions, medication timing, or quiet rest periods, I’m flexible and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Because I don’t juggle pet sitting around a separate full-time job, your pet isn’t left alone for long stretches. My weekly routine is intentionally open, making it easy for me to accommodate longer stays, last-minute requests, puppies, seniors, and pets that need extra attention. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I take a calm, attentive, and proactive approach to ensure each pet’s well-being. In my home, pets are closely supervised and never left unattended outdoors. While my backyard is large but not fully fenced, all outdoor time is done on leash or under direct supervision, depending on the pet’s comfort level and owner preference. This allows pets to safely enjoy fresh air and movement without risk. I’m careful to pet-proof spaces, keep doors and gates secure, and follow household rules and routines closely. In a client’s home, I respect the space as if it were my own and follow all care instructions exactly, including feeding schedules, medications, and any safety preferences. I’m attentive to pet body language and behavior, especially with new environments or routines, and I prioritize low-stress handling and positive reinforcement. Clear communication is important to me, and I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, and check-ins so you feel confident your pet is safe and comfortable. My goal is to create a secure, calm environment where your pet feels protected, respected, and cared for at all times.

“Ana was great! She was very responsive and accommodating with scheduling. I so appreciated all the photos and updates she provided throughout the day, it was easy to tell my pup was having a wonderful time!”

About: I have been a dog mom since I was 7 years old. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from maltese to cane corso. I am currently home 7 days a week, so I have plenty of time and more to give your pet the attention they need while you are away! My house has plenty of space for your pup to roam free, play, and have a great time! I have a fenced in yard for your pup to have a great time running around in! Your pup will find a new friend in my 4 year old maltichon.

About: I have experience fostering dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra care. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every dog like family. My background includes basic training, socialization, and providing comfort for anxious pets. Clients can trust that their pets will be safe, loved, and cared for just as if they were my own. I’m a medical student on a research year, working from home with a flexible daily schedule. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I’m available every day. Caring for animals also helps me de-stress while I work toward paying off student loans. Your pets will always have my time and attention. Your pets’ safety and happiness always come first. In my home, they’ll get a cozy, loving space with snuggles, playtime, and constant attention. When I care for pets in your home, I follow your routines closely so they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s walks, meds, or extra cuddle time, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and at ease.

“Very responsive”

About: We absolutely adore dogs and my partner and I have extensive experience pet sitting in China where we lived for 5 years. Excited to open our home here in Charlotte especially now since I got a new remote job and am always looking for some company :) I work remotely so I am home all day. I am an early bird and my partner is happy for walks when he gets off work. From early morning to late night, we have plenty of attentiveness and love to give. We have a large apartment that is mostly empty since we like to keep our furniture minimal. Also we live in a great, safe area for walks.

“Danielle has great communication, sends lots of updates + photos, is very sweet! I know my pup is in good hands and is having fun. 100% recommend Danielle!!”

“David is great at communicating and I felt very comfortable leaving my pup, Charlie, with him. Charlie isn’t normally great with strangers, but he didn’t even bark once at David. I was so glad when I picked up a happy dog!”
