Doggy Day Care in Stokesdale

About: I can’t remember a time in my life that I didn’t have a dog (or two). Big dogs, little dogs and in between. Now that I am retired, I devote most of my time to caring for my two “baby girls”. Daisy & Bella are litter sisters although they don’t look a like. They are Teddy Bear/Schicons (1/2 Bichon Frise and 1/2 Shih Tzu). They are inseparable, looking out for each other or wrestling together, where there’s one there is the other. They do play well with others. My sister’s little girl is a Shih Tzu and she is an only child, we laugh and call her the Princess. I sit for her for a week or long weekends when my sister visits her daughter out of town. She also comes over for play dates. They all respect each other’s boundaries and the Princess has learned to play with “the Court Jesters”. My dogs and visitors are allowed on furniture and beds. My yard is not fenced, but I do have a radio frequency collar system that I can use or walk on leash per owner’s preference. I live a long way from the road so it is safe. We go on golf cart rides around the property in the afternoon, my girls look forward to it. I am retired, so unless I have a doctor appointment or go grocery shopping, I am home 100% of the time. I do go to church on Sunday morning. My girls have the run of our home but I can use a crate if owner desires. I will treat your fur baby like I do my own. They are my #1 priority, always. They have a feeding schedule twice daily with a few treats throughout the day. They get lots of love and snuggles to their satisfaction. I encourage them to play with toys inside interacting with each other and myself. They will get plenty of exercise indoors and outdoors. I refreshed their water several times daily.

“They are the best! They watch our 16 week puppy and she comes home happy and tired from a fun day exploring and playing with their dog. They send cute pictures and updates throughout the day. We love having people we trust care for our baby!”

“Our Poodle had a great time during Daycare! We were sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the day and always felt he was happy and safe! In the pictures he looks like he had a blast and we can't wait to visit Tyra again!”

“Christina was welcoming and professional and the bonus was making my fur baby feel like family when her kids came home for school! I would recommend and use her services again”

About: With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, I bring a calm, confident presence that pets (and their owners) can trust. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime in the yard, or overnight pet sitting, I treat every dog like my own—with patience, love, and lots of belly rubs! I’ve worked with senior pups, energetic puppies, and everything in between. You can count on me for reliable care, daily updates, and a happy, wagging tail at the end of the day. My job is extremely flexible—I mostly work from home and have the freedom to take frequent breaks throughout the day. That means I can easily fit in walks, playtime, feedings, and check-ins without any disruption to your pet’s routine. Whether it’s a midday stroll or some extra attention during the day, I’m able to give pets the consistent care and companionship they need. Having animals around actually makes my day better, and I love incorporating pet care into my daily schedule! I focus on maintaining their normal routine in a familiar environment. I follow your instructions closely—whether it's feeding schedules, medication, walk times, or bedtime routines—to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I treat every home with respect, keeping things tidy and secure, and making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. From morning walks to nighttime snuggles, I’m there to provide consistent care and keep your pet’s stress to a minimum. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that everything is going smoothly.

About: We have had many different types of pets over the years and understand the worry of having someone care for your pets while you are away. We are here to help with that worry by providing your pet a loving, fun and safe environment while you are away. Our family consist of my husband, a son in college and a daughter in high school and myself. We have a 13 year old Beagle/Terrier mix who is mostly interested in chasing squirrels and naps. We have recently rescued a kitten who is a fire cracker and provides a lot of interaction and entertainment for other cats and dogs who engages with her. I am home full time and when the children are home both enjoy caring and playing with the pets in our care. Being home allows me to have eyes on your pets and be readily available and responsive. We are well off the beaten path with lots of yard to roam and other barn yard pets. We have a small farm with an area fenced for our dogs as well as a fenced pasture for our farm animals. We also can accommodate crates for those pets that prefer the safety of their known space. Your pet with be a part of our tribe when they are here and will be safe and have a great time. I welcome frequent contact and am very responsive to each pet and their owners needs. Your pet will get the highest level of care here on the farm.

“Taylor was awsome with Charlie. She is very friendly, and a great dog mom. Her Whippet is adorable, and got along great with Charlie. Highly recommend!”

Christa and Jeff C.

“Jessica was incredible. We had a very last minute need and she was responsive, confident and we felt from the beginning that there wasn't a situation that she couldn't handle when it came to our dog. He can be a little anxiously attached and she didn't bat an eye. She was a godsend when we needed one!”

Mary C.

“Lauren was a true pro- she did a great job keeping me informed of walks, cuddling and play time for my dog!! I highly recommend if you are a selective person for your pet.”

Nicole B.

“Very friendly and good with our dog. Would recommend her for dog sitting anytime.”

About: Owned cats for over 35 and dogs for over 25 years. Have administered medication as well as brought sick/injured back to health. Familiar with various diet needs/restrictions. A lover of all breeds, I bond quickly with all animals (including the timid or mistrusting), due to my love for and patience with them. Will take time to play, walk and hang with them. Experience with crating, potty training and teething, and other behavioral training. I recently went back to college to complete my BA and now job hunting, so my availability is wide open. I am flexible and having my own three dogs, get up early and am used to letting them out early morning/late night. I can get to your home as early as 6 am and make my final visit as late as 9 pm. I can provide care in the owners or my home, as well as take them for walks (if owner agrees) and/or play in their home and yard with them. I will love on and treat your babies as I would my own. I do not believe in just feeding and letting out without also providing affection and play time, unless the owner strictly requests I do. My schedule is currently open. I am also working for an events venue part time. Connecting with and caring for animals is a pleasure for me and how I choose to spend a lot of my free time. I have a large fenced in yard for running and playing and three large crates and a small one, for those that feel they need that safe space. I also have a 15 x 15 pen outside if I need to keep any separate from each other. I also have four baby gates so I can rotate the room they are in without having to crate those that want to roam but don't get along with others well. I have cautiously and patiently introduced many animals to each other and also know that just like people, some get along with certain animals but not others.

“Kind family on private acreage well off roadway - no worry for me about my dog getting away temporarily and getting hit. He’s a country dog. Elizabeth gave me an update without me asking for one. Use google maps instead of Waze and rely on mailbox number.”

Allison P.

“Ashlee was great! She took Kobe on walks and sent several pictures. Very sweet!”

Gil G.

“Allison did a great job keeping Rigel, she kept me updated and sent pictures of her day. I work long hours and it means alot to have her with someone I can trust. I know I will need Allison again in the future!”

“Barbara was amazing! We had a great meet-and-greet so our miniature poodle Mary could meet her dogs and run around the yard. She sent us photos during our visit and kept us updated on how everything was going.”

Andrew V.

“Elizabeth and Nick have created a puppy haven and our two dogs enjoyed their time with them. They are very knowledgeable about dogs and have been very sweet and kind to our girls. Sending out dogs is wonderful because I know they are in good hands! Thank you!”
