Dog Boarding in Colerain, NC

“John did a great job with our pup. He was great about sending updates and pictures each day. Quick and easy communication. There is plenty of indoor and fenced outdoor space. We will use John again when we need someone near the OBX.”

“Can’t say enough great things about the care that James C. & wife provided to our elderly dog while we were on vacation. They were willing to take Apollo at the last minute when our previous boarding reservations fell through. Our dog had recently experienced a spider bite with subsequent need for wound care & medication. Couldn’t have asked for better care due to their knowledge & experience. They provided updates & readily responding when we had questions. Would highly recommend!”

“Fantastic sitter! She accepted a last-minute booking and provided excellent communication throughout. I appreciated the daily updates and pictures, which made me feel very comfortable leaving my pup in her care. Highly recommended. I’ll definitely book again!”

“We dropped off our dog, Alfie, on our way to the outerbanks as our Airbnb didn’t allow dogs and we are so glad we booked with Kristin. Alfie had so much fun playing at their home and Kristin made sure to keep us updated with photos throughout the entire trip.”

Pet care will always fit into my schedule I’m a stay at home mom my husband works law enforcement and is almost never home !

I have a beautiful new build with a huge fenced in yard ! Also with me being home 24-7 your pup will get to run and enjoy the weather!

“Kristin, James, & Hannah were amazing! They took such great care of Theo and sent me pictures and updates to let me know how he was doing. They were incredibly kind to both Theo and I. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands.”

About: 40+ years’ experience caring for and loving dogs of all ages. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs and even those in their prime with plenty of energy. I am very experienced with administering medicine if needed and caring for those with special needs. My husband and I have always had our own fur babies (toy and standard poodles), but do not have any currently. I am retired, so I’m always here to give extra cuddles, potty breaks, play time and walks. I really love their company! Tell me their routine while at home with you and I will do my best to ensure it stays the same when in my care. We have a large fenced yard with shade in a small and quiet subdivision. Our home is two story so plenty of room for playing and naps. If they do not care for going up stairs, I can stay on the main floor. Our neighborhood is perfect for walks. I have crates if they are crate trained and you prefer that, but that is not necessary. Being on the furniture or bed is fine with me too. I give extra special attention if they are nervous during a thunderstorm or other loud noises (such as fireworks on a holiday). I am very attentive and adapt to small things such as if they just don't like going out in the rain. I always send daily updates including photos, videos & text throughout their stay.

“Excellent care provided!!! The sittier kept us up to date throughout our vacation, and gave photo updates as well. We will be using this provider again for future visits.”

About: I am a person who lives alone and loves animals. I have 5 years of experience taking care of my neighbors' pets. I Love the pets I don't work, so I'm free all week to take care of the pets. I really like going for walks and the outdoors with pets They have a safe space to be inside my home, they can be on the furniture without any problem. they will always be safe And good

About: I have experience working with animals of all breeds/species. I used to work for a boarding/daycare/grooming facility that was also connected to a vets office. I’m familiar with farm animals, dogs, cats, most small pets, and reptiles. I had my own horse for 17 years. Currently I have two German Shepherds who are both 4 years old- so I’m very familiar with working breeds! *I have experience with administering medications and animal first aid* I’m currently a stay at home mom and have full availability. More than likely my son will be with me for drop in visits- but for house sitting, arrangements can be made if necessary! With my two being a working breed we go on a lot of walks, and play a lot of fetch. But they also know how to be couch potatoes! Either way I can follow the lifestyle your pet is used to whether it be cuddles and lounging or going outside to play. I’m all about communication so pictures and daily check ins are something I like to provide!

“Amber and her family loved on my three babies while I was away. She kept me up to date on how they were doing and definitely went the extra mile to ensure they were well taken care of. I plan to use her again on my next getaway.”

“This is my 1st time using this service, and I cannot be happier with not only my experience, but also the experience provided for my dog. Jeannie was great taking care of my dog for almost a week over the Thanksgiving Holiday. Although I was over 1100 miles away, she did a fantastic job providing updates, photos and videos of my crazy dog. My dog is very challenging, and Jeannine expertly handled the quirky nature of my dog and providing her all the attention that she needs. I highly recommend Jeannine for your pooch’s needs. She provides an excellent value and knowledge that is typically reserved for more costly providers!”

“Carolyn is absolutely phenomenal! Her whole family was absolutely great with my Cane Corso who is 125pds!! Carolyn is very accommodating when I needed to extend a day! She sends updates daily and she treated my Togue as if she was her own!! I’m glad we found this family!!”

About: I had two labs growing up that I was always around feeding bathing and walking and I currently have a girl pit mix who I’ve had since she was a puppy. I currently work part time so I have a lot of free time and am available anytime Sunday and Monday and anytime everyday after 4:30! I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of space to run around and I also have a friendly pit mix female dog she just turned one and loves having friends to play with!

“Rebecca is wonderful. She picked up and dropped up my girl. She also spoiled her just like I do!! I will definitely be using her again in the future.”

About: At Central Canines, pet care is more than just a service — it’s a personalized experience built on trust, structure, and love. With years of hands-on experience in both dog training and boarding, I go beyond basic care to truly understand each dog’s personality, needs, and behavior. Whether your pup is staying overnight or working on new skills, they’ll receive consistent structure, positive reinforcement, and one-on-one attention in a safe, home-style environment — not a crowded kennel. What sets me apart is the calm, confident energy I bring to every interaction, my commitment to helping dogs thrive both mentally and physically, and the genuine relationships I build with each pet and their family. Here, every dog is treated like one of my own. Pet care is my full-time lifestyle — not just part of my day. As a professional dog trainer and full-time pet care provider, my entire routine is centered around the well-being, structure, and happiness of the dogs in my care. From early morning potty breaks and structured play sessions to training lessons and calm evening wind-downs, every part of my day is designed to meet each pup’s individual needs. This isn’t a side job or a hobby — it’s my passion and profession. Your dog becomes part of my daily rhythm, and I treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. In my home, pets are cared for with a structured, safe, and loving routine that supports both their physical and mental well-being. Dogs enjoy plenty of outdoor time in a secure yard, personalized enrichment activities, and rest periods throughout the day to prevent overstimulation. For those enrolled in training, I incorporate clear, consistent guidance into daily routines to reinforce good behavior in real-life situations. Each pup gets one-on-one attention, daily check-ins, and plenty of love — all while maintaining a calm, balanced environment. Cleanliness, safety, and respect for each dog’s individual needs are always my top priorities.

About: I’ve lived with animals more than I’ve lived without them - from house pets to farm dogs to the occasional goat. I grew up caring for both indoor and outdoor dogs, and I’ve raised my own husky from puppyhood. I’ve also cared for everything from tiny Yorkies to a rottweiler-lab mix during full-time stays. Cats have always been part of my life too, both my own and others’. I connect easily with animals, especially the shy ones. They tend to trust me — and I never take that lightly. I study from home as a musician and spend most of my time in my cozy house, which makes pet care a perfect fit. I’m home, present, and happy to have furry coworkers again. I miss the routine and joy animals bring. I’m available for boarding on most weekdays and weekends, except for Fridays and Sundays when I travel out of town. I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so your furry companion will have my full attention. My home is small but open, with minimal furniture, making it safe and comfortable for pets to move around. I also have a screened-in back porch that’s great for lounging, and a decently sized yard for supervised playtime, even though it’s not fenced. I aim to create a calm, cozy, and secure environment.

“First time leaving my pup with Rebecca. I am very high maintenance, though my dog is usually super easy. Rebecca was so easy to work with. She was so responsive, sent me lots of great photos and happily answered my neurotic questions about whether Milo ate, etc. Rebecca is a great sitter. Highly recommend.”
