Pet Boarding Carolina Forest

About: I have significant experience with pet dogs and day to day care. I incorporate structured walks, appropriate enrichment, and clear boundaries to create a safe and balanced environment. I was responsible for daily kennel operations, including cleaning and sanitizing kennels, managing play yards, and maintaining overall structure and safety. I am trained in basic canine first aid, including CPR, wound care, bandaging, and medication administration. I am also experienced in safely breaking up dog altercations and handling high-drive and working breeds with confidence and control. I provide trainer led care, backed by formal education and hands on experience in the canine training field. I completed an intensive six month professional dog trainer program at Highland Canine Training, where I entered the industry through real world, practical application working with a wide variety of dogs. During the program, I trained and handled police K9s in apprehension work, narcotics detection, and search and rescue (SAR) trailing. I also gained experience working with service dogs for autism assistance and assurance. My education included extensive work with dogs experiencing behavioral challenges, along with foundational through advanced obedience training. I have experience managing reactive dogs and confidently advocating for their space and needs. I’m highly proficient in reading canine body language and adjusting my approach to best support each individual dog. Training is my full-time job. I also offer boarding, pet sitting, and walks as part of my services. My schedule is built around my training clients, and I only take on pet care bookings I can fully commit to. Fully fenced yard with two of my own friendly dogs to help provide safe companionship. If your dog is not dog friendly, no worries, my dogs will not interact. A separate kennel area is available for rest breaks and feedings. Daily health checks and thorough daily cleaning practices are implemented to ensure a safe and clean environment.

“Words can’t even really describe how awesome Karla and her son are. She made sure my dog was super comfortable and not alone due to his high anxiety. She sent photos to keep me updated on their daily activities. 10/10 I would recommend her to everyone!”

“Mary was a wonderful pet sitter for our new cat while we went away for a few days. As soon a I dropped our cat off I could tell that Mary was an animal lover and she would be in great hands while we were away. Not only did Mary give our baby meds while she was recovering from being spayed, but she kept us updated with sweet pics of our girl that relieved our anxiety while we were traveling. We cannot thank Mary enough for the amazing care she provided to our girl Shadow and highly recommend her to anyone looking for amazing pet care!”

“Carina was great! She sent me picture updates without me asking, and took great care of my dog. She worked with me to pick my dog up a little earlier than scheduled without any issue. Would definitely use her again!”

“Laura did such an amazing job with Cooper and Max. They were well cared for. They seemed really happy and our fuzzy seem to get along with their fuzzies and really comfortable property and yard. And they managed medications for our dogs and they were so happy when we came to pick him up. It almost seemed like they didn't want to leave. We couldn't ask for better!”

“Debby, or “Aunt Debby” as Knox calls her 😊 provided the best care that I could ask for. I was able to relax on my vacation with peace of mind that my best friend was at home with her. Debby sent informative updates and photos so being away from him was easier. I think he’ll sleep like a baby for a week since she exercised him routinely. He’s a black Lab and it’s hot here in Myrtle Beach, but I didn’t worry since Debby’s level of emergency medical knowledge is far beyond that of any kennel. I will definitely book Camp Debby next time I need to travel without him. Thank you!!!!”

About: Hello there! My name is Lesley, and I am an experienced and trustworthy pet sitter with over 8 years of experience in the field.

From puppies and kittens needing extra attention to senior pets requiring specialized care, I am comfortable and knowledgeable in handling all stages of life I understand that leaving your furry family member behind can be stressful, but rest assured, I treat each pet as if they were my own.

Regular playtime, belly rubs, and walks are just some of the activities I offer to keep them happy, active, and engaged In addition to pet care, I am also experienced in house sitting. I take great pride in maintaining a clean and organized home environment, providing security and peace of mind to homeowners. *I do currently work part time to full time (never more than 38 hours).

“Jenny is such a sweet and welcoming person! I am so fortunate she was able to take my last minute request to sit my dogs, allowing my family to adventure at Boardwalk at the Beach with no worries. She was very good with communicating the status of all my dogs. Even giving recommendations of restaurants while we were out. Thank you so much!”

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I have 2 dogs and one cat, if it’s not them I’m watching, it’s my friends animals!!! I have a love and passion for helping animals. I’m currently working part time at smoothie king, I should be able to fit pet care right into my schedule with no issues!!! Going into summer I will have even more free time. I would prefer watching the animals at my clients home, however I have 2 friendly dogs, and a friendly cat! We have a big (fenced) backyard with lots of room for playing.

“Michelle was awesome with my dog Cash. I booked her very last minute for dog boarding over Thanksgiving and she was very quickly to answer and let me know that she could watch him. Michelle would send me pictures and videos everyday and keep me updated with what Cash was up to and how he was behaving. I would definitely hire her again to watch my dog.”

“Luke and Kexin and their dog Stanley were great companions for my 100lb husky Padawan. Padawan stayed with them for a whole month and obviously bonded with them. They are now going to be our go to choice for any future boarding requests.”
