Pet Boarding in Carrboro

About: I am an experienced, attentive, and responsible pet care-giver providing peace-of-mind and a calm environment where your fur-baby can relax while you are away for work or travel. I grew up loving and caring for every kind of pet you can imagine and I have 18 years experience caring for cats. I also have 10 years experience caring for a cockatiel and I love parrots. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I can host pets in my home and can also visit your home for pet care during weekend days and in the evening. I live in a townhome neighborhood with lots of room to walk and a green space in the back. I work at a computer and take regular breaks to move around and check on my cat and other pets that I am hosting. I usually sit on the floor while I work so dog friends and other cuddly pets can sit near me if they want and get pets and attention any time. My space is clean and calm with room for pets to move around freely or rest on a comfy couch or pet bed.

“Jill was wonderful!! We were in town for a baseball event for my son at UNC Chapel Hill. We were headed to FL after the showcase, so wanted to bring our 2yo Aussiedoodle. Jill was phenomenal. She kept our boy—very attentive to all his needs. They took walks and he loved playing with her sweet lab mix. We enjoyed our visit to Chapel Hill knowing that our pup was in great hands. He left Jill’s tired and ready for a long car ride to FL . I’m so thankful! We will definitely reach out when back in town!”

“Keon was a great sitter! He took care of my dog very nicely! My dog had so much fun playing with the other dogs as well! I could see that my dog was having so much fun and that he was having a great time! ❤️ I am so satisfied, and I will certainly send my dog to board with him again! 😊”

About: We are a dog-loving family with a mixed breed of our own, looking to open up our house for short-term dog boarding. We'd love to take care of your dog! My husband and I primarily work from home so we are at home for most of the day, most days of the week. If one of us is required to go into work, we will adjust our schedules to make sure that someone is either at home or can get home in time to take care of our dog and any boarders. We live in a single detached house with a fenced in back yard. We are close to awesome hiking trails and often take our dog for walks on them. We have one child who is awesome around animals and have one dog who is great around other dogs.

“Adriana took great care of Chelsea!! She was attentive & provided plenty of photos while I was away. Chelsea loved playing with Adriana & her pup. I would definitely use her services again!”

“10 out of 5 stars! I felt so comfortable with Angel and Yara (and daughter Zoe) taking care of my dog. I got every day feedback and videos, and it was obvious my Cooper was happy and well cared for. I was afraid he wouldn’t want to leave and come home with me - but I guess he loves me too. 😁😁😁 Thank you for giving us a worry-free vacation.”

“Tori and her family took such great care of our small older dog who has some health issues including med administration needs and occasional pain due to previous cancer. Everything from getting holly to their home (Tori last minute offered to pick Holly Up and this was a godsend because our trip was last minute and we were trying to coordinate many other things) to start her visit to pick up and updates in between were great. Her sons are very gentle and natural animal lovers so that was not any concern even though our dog generally prefers calm environments. I would highly recommend Tori and her family for caring for your pet!”

“Vanessa and her family were awesome with Bentley. She was extremely thoughtful in sending me pictures while i was in china for two weeks. She even brought his left toys to my home. I really appreciate Vanessa and her family taking care of my big baby.”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a teenager- my family has always fostered puppies ranging in age and care level needed. I have experience with bottle feeding puppies from just a few days old until they're ready to be adopted. I also have cared for dogs with health concerns that impact ability level. My roommate is a vet tech at our local shelter, and I'm in nursing school, so anything that could possibly go wrong will be handled promptly and safely! I have experience with meal prepping for clients, drop in visits throughout the day, and overnight stays (all doggies are always allowed in my bed if that's what they prefer!) I'm currently a nursing student, so for the summer my schedule is as follows: Mondays overnight care only from 6pm onward Tuesdays all day: I will be out of the house from 2-4pm so those are the only hours not available for drop in/care Wednesdays: overnight care only from 6pm onward Thursdays: alternating Thursdays are fully open, and every other one I am available from 4pm on. Just ask if you are looking for Thursday care! Fridays-Sundays: all day I live in a pet friendly apartment complex with plenty of grass and walking trails nearby. I'm on the ground floor and it's an outdoor style setup, so there's no worrying about elevators or long hallways when needing to go outside. I'm very flexible in my plan of care- I strive to keep routines as normal as possible, whether that means your fur baby sleeps in the bed or in their crate for comfort, I'm happy to oblige!

“Our dog Nethra had a wonderful time at Sharon's house. Sharon was extremely caring and it reflected in the videos that was sent to us since we could see how happy Nethra was. Thanks Sharon!”

“Banjo was so exceptionally taken care of! He’s a senior cat who needs meds 2x/day, and he settled right in at Naotake’s place! I loved seeing the pictures and getting a daily report of what he’d been up to.”

Annah W.

“Incredibly flexible! Large family dogs at home, so your pet has to be flexible as well. Saoirse seemed comfortable with everyone. Very happy.”

Kevin S.

“Hope did a wonderful job keeping us updated and our dog was so well cared for! I am thankful for her genuine love for our pup! He will be back!”

Michelle L.

“Kate had an important work activity in the middle of Kai's stay with her and it was a bit of a challenge finding another sitter at such short time. She was willing to cancel her work commitment if we were not able to find Kai a sitter but luckily everything was sorted out at the last minute. Thank you Kate for your commitment.”

About: With a lifelong passion for dogs, I currently have four of my own and bring years of hands-on experience caring for special and medical needs pups. As a former dedicated foster, I’m confident handling a variety of personalities and care routines, while happily welcoming all dogs. Dogs enjoy plenty of activity (or not!) with access to a large, fenced yard and walks in a beautiful, walkable neighborhood. My dogs are relaxed, friendly, and adjust well to new companions. I’m best suited for dogs who are housebroken and have good home manners. No matter if you’re looking for daycare, overnight boarding, social time, or longer-term care, this is a warm and reliable spot for your pup. ***I do require a meet and greet at my house prior to a stay. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, allowing me to be home throughout the day. I’m always home in the evenings and maintain a structured routine for feeding and medication needs. Daily walks are part of our routine with one of my dogs and are available for visiting pups as well, weather permitting. We almost always have soothing music on to keep a very chill vibe! A safe, comfortable stay with plenty of space to relax and explore. My home features a large, fully fenced backyard and a screened-in porch perfect for lounging and watching neighborhood activity (and local wildlife!). I prioritize safety by crating or gating dogs when I’m away briefly, and I’m rarely gone for more than a couple of hours. While I’m home, pets enjoy free roam and can settle in wherever they’re most comfortable—including bedtime. My own dogs are very relaxed but social and engaged. We’re a great fit for dogs who enjoy low to moderate activity and interaction but are also able to settle down and relax or play on their own. For everyone’s comfort and safety, visiting pups should be friendly, well-behaved, and non-aggressive.

About: Hi! I’m Rosa, a lifelong animal lover, with years of hands-on experience, caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I go beyond the basics – offering not just love and companionship, but structure, training, and personalized attention to every pet in my care. I specialize in working with puppies and young dogs, providing gentle, consistent training, that reinforces good behavior from the start. Whether it’s crate training, potty training, or basic obedience (sit, stay, leash, manners, etc), I work with your pup at their pace, always using positive reinforcement methods. But my experience doesn’t stop with puppies! I’ve cared for senior dogs, high energy breeze, shy rescue, and everything in between. I understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, and comfort needs – and I’m here to make sure they feel safe, stimulated and loved while you’re away. 🐾 I’m working part-time and have plenty of free time to focus on your pups! I am available weekdays from 8 AM to 8 PM and also offer overnight and weekend boarding. This flexible schedule allows me to give your pets the attention, playtime, and care they truly deserve. Whether, caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on comfort, consistency, and individualized attention. 🏡 In my home: I create a calm, pet friendly space where your dog feels like part of the family. I stick to the usual routine – feeding, party breaks, playtime, and naps – to minimize stress. If your pup is in training, I’ll reinforce good behaviors with positive methods. I also ensure lots of cuddle time, exercise, and regular photo update so you stay connected! 🏠 In your home: I respect your space and follow all your pets, usual routine routines closely – meals, walk, meds, bedtime, and play. I aim to keep everything as familiar as possible to help your pet feel safe and secure in your absence. I’m attentive, tidy, and always leave your home as I found it. Whether it’s on boarding, drop, ins, or overnights, I tailor my care to fit your pets needs and personality. Their happiness and well-being are always my top priority!
