Doggy Day Care in Southport

“Jerry was absolutely amazing! My booking was pretty last minute because I was so scrambled that weekend, but Jerry was able to pull through and helped me so much! Bud looked like he had an absolute blast with Jerry and Bud got taken on so many new adventures which he looked like he absolutely loved. Jerry was even able to pick up Bud for me which saved me so much time that morning and gave him a bath for me before I went to go pick up Bud later that day! Jerry is literally so amazing and I will definitely book with him again in the future!”

About: I volunteered at an animal shelter for three years in high school, worked at that same shelter for an additional 3 years after volunteering, and continued to foster kittens and dogs for them after I left. I have fostered 19 kittens and 1 dog that required extensive medical care. I have also pet sat several times since then! I love animals and am very patient with ones that need a little extra attention. I also am able to draw pet portraits (charcoal). If you are interested, just ask! I work from home, so if you want someone that will be here all the time aside from a small grocery run, I am your gal! I live on three acres; however, it is not fenced yet. Until we are able to fence it, I will take your dog out on leash. We are in the process of raising the funds to secure the whole property. I do have a dog, so your dog must be dog friendly. He is a 6 year old heeler that loves to play and is vocal. Does not try to dominate other dogs at all. He just wants to be friends. For both of our benefit, I would like to have a play date beforehand just so they can have a friendly introduction. I have had a bad experience in the past where a pet sitter severely neglected my dog the last couple days we were out of town. It is very important to me to make sure all dogs feel loved and safe. I will send you daily updates on how your dog is doing so you can have peace of mind your fur baby is in a safe environment. I know how important that reassurance is to me and I don't expect it to be different for anyone else. My husband will also be here when he isnt working. He is also WONDERFUL with animals.

“Andrea introduced her two dogs to Solo upon arrival. From there it sounds like Solo had a great day with her new friends . I will definitely use Andrea again. I really appreciate the short notice also.”

“Benny loved his time with Amy and he was exhausted on the ride back to Charlotte! I really appreciated the pictures as well - Benny seemed very comfortable and loved in Amy’s home. His energy levels are high at times, but she clearly handled it well. We’ll be back when in Wilmington!”

“Robert was quick to respond and give us a dog-free day while at the beach with family. Wednesday was happy for the dog company and came back happy and tired!”

“This was our first time using Kaylah. Our experience was very similar to others. Kaylah is very sweet (and her kids are too) and she took great care of our dog Sammy.”

About: I currently foster dogs and teach basic training for puppies/young dogs. I have a lot of experience with high energy dogs. I have worked at with dogs at boarding kennels and a dog rescue in which I have handled a variety of different dogs breeds with many different personalities and needs. I take dogs to wildlife areas and the beaches to run on and off leash if client is confident with their dog listening. I currently work from home, and my schedule is pretty flexible. I can work Monday’s to Friday’s and most weekends. I will keep my schedule updated through the app. I have a fenced in yard and monitor dogs when outside. I monitor pets with toys and spend time playing with dogs. If requested, I will provided basic training lessons, but price will vary. I am trained in e-collar training. I also, use a method that is a mix positive reinforcement/treats with repercussions. Method of training or handling the dog is discussed with the client and what training shall be focused on. I am trained in animal behavior and can notice if dogs become aggressive with people or other animals if requested for dogs to engage with other dogs. I always encourage clients to have their dogs engage in activities outside the home to get the dog more comfortable around people, other dogs, and people. Also to be handled walking on a leash and practice good behavior. Unless the dog is extremely aggressive and not good around other people or animals, I believe it is crucial for young dogs to practice socializing. Please be honest and inform me of any medical issues, aggression, other behavioral issues, and what toys they are allowed to have.

“Jess was great at making me feel comfortable prior to our first doggy day care day with her. She offered a site visit, but I chose to do a video call instead for ease of my schedule. Through talking to her I instantly knew she would be a great fit for my dog. Upon drop off, she welcomed me in so I could see where Norton would be for the day. She sent several updates with pictures throughout the day. Norton seemed to have a good time and felt relaxed in her home. Thank you Jess for the peace of mind taking care of my furbaby while we did a day trip. We will definitely use Jess again.”

“Erin was such an amazing sitter for our dog, Molly! I contacted her last minute to watch her for the day while we were out of town and she was super responsive and flexible. Molly loved playing with her adorable golden, Oakley, and was very tired from running around her amazing backyard. Would highly recommend Erin (and Oakley)!”

“Brian and his lovely wife did a super job caring for our dog while we were away for the day. Lucy was happy and healthy when we returned, and we appreciated Brian touching base during our time away to give us peace of mind that everything was going well. Lucy had a wonderful time. Thank you!!”

“We could not have felt more at ease when we dropped off our 2 dogs with Maegan and her 2 adorable kids in their lovely (and nicely air conditioned) home! We were able to enjoy a day away from the dogs without any worries, and were even sent multiple photos of their fun (an naps afterward). Would 100% recommend and 100% use again! Thanks Maegan and kids 🩷🩷🩷”

“Yueqian is very professional and experienced in taking care of dogs. Wren spent a wonderful time at the dog park with Yueqian and her three dogs, and enjoyed a walk in another park as well. Yueqian also sent me some photos of Wren to give me an update. When I picked up Wren, she looks happy, showing no signs of separation anxiety even though it was her first daycare experience. I highly recommend Yueqian for anyone looking for a caring and professional dog daycare service. Thank you for taking such great care of Wren!”
