Doggy Day Care South Central

“My dog Reese is so happy to spend the day with Arden! By our second and third visits, Reese had learned what it means when I say “you’re going to see your friend Arden today,” and she happy whines in the car when we get close to her house! Very grateful to have her as a backup parent for when I need a break.”

“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!”

“Karissa and Robert took such great care of Sherman for his first week at day care. He enjoyed his time so much and they made his new environment so comforting and easy. Thank you both so much, can’t wait for Sherman to go back to have a great time again this week.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up with dogs, cats, birds, fish, rodents, and farm animals. Caring for pets has always been a normal part of life for me, both through my own animals and through pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Over the years I’ve raised my own puppies and kittens, cared for senior pets, and managed medications and special care needs. One of my own dogs (German Shepherd Dog) was diagnosed with cancer at a young age, and I cared for him throughout treatment until he passed away at age four. That experience taught me how important consistency, patience, and close attention can be when a pet isn’t feeling their best. I also currently care for my senior dog who requires medication. Today I have a labradoodle that I’ve had since he was a puppy, two cats, and my senior dog. I take pride in training my dogs to be well-behaved and socialized. In addition to dogs and cats, as stated previously, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals including lizards, snakes, chickens, rodents, fish, a sun conure parrot, horses, donkeys, alpacas, and pigs. I know every animal is different, and I do my best to learn their routines, personalities, and quirks so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet is young and energetic, elderly, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I am a career biochemical scientist and lost my job in April. I am now having a blast working as a full-time stay at home mom. My 1 year old son also loves pets and would need to occasionally accompany me! I am available pretty much around the clock. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I will follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any household rules you’ve established to the best of my ability. I know that consistency helps pets feel comfortable and reduces stress while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I will make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, fresh water, and companionship. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. In my own home, pets are treated like part of the family. I maintain a safe, clean environment and supervise interactions carefully. I currently have a friendly labradoodle and two cats, so I’m very accustomed to managing different personalities, energy levels, and care needs.

“Karisa was responsive and eager to take our last minute booking. We were so appreciative and our puppy Gracie seemed to have enjoyed herself. Will definitely re-book soon!”

“Brianna was able to help out with last minute dog day care for our new rescue! She responded quickly and was easy to schedule with. Our boy had a great time making new friends and was ready for a nap when we got home! Made us feel so much better that he had someone to hang out with while we worked, would recommend!!”

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 7 years old, growing up with both small and large breeds, so I understand how different their needs can be. I keep an active lifestyle with plenty of walks and playtime, but I’m also mindful of dogs who don’t do well in the heat, offering enrichment activities to keep them mentally stimulated and cool. My home is clean and completely smoke-free, so your pup will have a healthy, comfortable place to relax. Whether your dog needs an adventure buddy or a calm place to rest, I’ll tailor my care to fit them I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to give your dog attention and care, not just quick check-ins. I can take dogs on multiple walks a day, keep them company, administer any medication on schedule, and adjust to whatever routine your pup is used to. Since I’m around all day, your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches, and I can respond right away if they need anything In my own home, I have one dog, so your pet will get personal attention rather than being lost in a crowd. I keep counters, floors, and bathroom trash clear of anything edible, and my home is kept incredibly clean to make sure it’s a safe, healthy environment. It’s also a calm, non-smoking household, so your dog can relax without excess noise or stress. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat their safety and comfort as a top priority

“Carlita was amazing with Bella. She provided me with picture and video updates throughout the time Bella was with her. Would absolutely use her again!!”

About: I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting since I was 19. I absolutely love dogs, taking them on walks (or runs if needed!), and just giving them all my love. I’m working from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m able to help out anywhere from once to probably two times a day if you want! I live in a two bedroom townhome with my 8 year old heeler. My dog is very sweet and likes to hang and walk with most dogs but can be shy when meeting a new friend or territorial (just loudly barks) over her bed and crate. She is less excited about hyper furry friends but am happy to always do a meet and greet before booking. Also happy to stay at your place so long as I can bring my dog too :)

“Archer had a fantastic day with Brittany! She kept me updated on how he was doing, took him to the dog park, sent pics, was very responsive. Would definitely use again.”

Jordan G.

“Millie was great. She was on time and friendly. My dog seemed to enjoy her company and home. Would recommend her to watch other dogs.”

Nathan C.

“Re’Anna was so kind and understanding. She was able to accept my last minute booking for doggy day care. Rambo had such a good time. Her kids were really good with him too! Definitely will be booking with her when I’m in the area again!!!”

About: I have grown up around all different kinds of animals and have adored them all my life. I have cared for others' pets (dogs and cats) alongside my own for around ten years, ensuring both safety and comfort at all times. I can care for both active and sleepy pets and have experience with all ages. I have cared for multiple pets (including my own dog) with specialized health problems and am comfortable providing medicine or special treatments. I will treat your pet as if they are my own! I am currently a stay at home mom and have full availability to fit the needs of your schedule. We take walks when the weather is nice, eat separately whenever your pet is normally scheduled to, and can play or cuddle all day. Pets have access to my home and fenced back yard. I allow pets on the furniture and the environment is always clean and safe! There is a senior cat and toddler in home, and the toddler will be separated from the pets at all times. Safety and comfort are number 1 priority!

Feel free to contact me for a meet and greet! =) ********IMPORTANT NOTES!!*********** **Due to proximity of neighbors and that I have client calls, we cannot have dogs that continuously bark out of respect for my neighbors.

Drop off and pick up times are from 7:00 am - 9pm. We have a fenced in back yard and also live waking distance to a quiet greenway entrance for lots of sunny walks in nature for exercise if needed.

“I’m so glad I found Daniela! You can tell that she is very kind, good natured and really cares for dogs. It was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous, but it worked out perfectly! She was very reassuring and communicated with me throughout Priss’ stay.”

“What a great experience with Martine and her husband. They obviously made Bryce feel welcomed in their home … as by the second day he went straight to her front door and didn’t look back while I was leaving. Also want to “shout out” her willingness to be a bit flexible with the schedule … (I was meeting a friend locally and wanted to be able to enjoy Raleigh for dinner (which was awesome at The Plate). This pet sitting experience enhanced my visit to Raleigh !!!”
