Dog Boarding Hickory

“Myra is great with our baby. He is happy to see her when we drop him off! She is in contact the entire time he is there. We will use her anytime we can.”

“They were so good to us by keeping Pugsley on short notice. Sent us pics and videos of Pugsley playing and having a great time. Felt at ease with them watching our spoiled baby.”

“Kathleen was absolutely amazing with Hulk. She was kind and caring, and most importantly, Hulk came home feeling happy and relaxed. He felt at home with Kathleen! We will definitely book with her again.”

“If you have a dog with needs, or just a dog you love, I would highly recommend Rachel and Donald to you! It was such a blessing to go on vacation and not worry about my pet! My dog is old, blind and deaf, so I do worry when I go on vacation. If I am not near, he gets very anxious. And it is hard for him to navigate a new place. But after our meet and greet, my own anxiety began to leave. Rachel and Donald sent more than one daily update with pictures. For once, I was not in a hurry to get back home! When I picked him up, he acted like he would have been fine to stay longer. I could tell they loved on and cared for my dog as well as I do. I will definitely use Rachel and Donald every time I go out of town. Again, if you have a dog with needs, or just a dog you love, I would highly recommend Rachel and Donald to you.”

“Jenny was great! She took Petey the Pug in on short notice and was very responsive. Constant photo updates and when I came to pick him up he almost didn’t want to leave. Highly recommended Jenny”

“Flower enjoyed her weekend with Donald! She was well taken care of and loved while we were gone. Drop off and pick-up were easy! Donald also sent several pictures of Flower while in his care and was easy to get in touch with while we were gone. We appreciated his care of Flower and will definitely use his services in the future!”

About: I have had, rescued, and taken care of a wide variety of dogs from smaller malti-poos to a Dane who had been living on the street, was skin and bones, and ended up 188 lbs. Currently I have Pippa, a 7-year-old Labrador who is allergic to chicken, so I make part of her food. I am home most of the time, except when I host overly-complex board games at the Hickory Library or the Highland Rec Center -- and those sessions are at most 3 hours long. I am home most days, except when I am hosting 3-hour board games at the local library and rec center. Otherwise, I take care of our house and rental properties. I have a large fenced yard -- especially-so since my house sits along North Center Street. I also use carabiners to make sure that gates are locked.

“Ginia is an absolute pleasure to work with. She’s very accommodating and we feel very grateful to have her taking care of our pup when we’re away.”

About: Picture this: you love your working breed dog... but they can be a boarder's nightmare. Does it make you nervous that they won't get enough stimulation while you're away? You can rest assured dogs with me will get 2-3 miles of trails a day along with 2+ hours (more on weekends!) of supervised play time with an equally energetic husky. Along with structured crate time to decompress. I've dealt with the worst of leash pullers and have trained my own dogs with high expectations of good behavior. You don't have to worry about your pup loosing manners or reverting to bad behaviors while you're away! I can reinforce proper training while he/she enjoys vacation at a beautiful hideaway with miles of private woods, right on the lake for some water play when it's hot! Your pet's schedule: 7-9am: breakfast! 1-2 miles of trails 9-12pm: crate time with options of mental stimulation toys and food toys 12-1pm: potty break and inside or outside supervised play time with my dog 1-5pm: crate time 5pm: dinner time and evening walks 6pm-bedtime: supervised time around the house, options to interact with other pets, myself, household members. Bedtime: crate or bed if they prefer Note: this is based on my regular daily work schedule for weekdays and weekends. Some flexibility on time frames, excersize amounts, etc are possible. Just ask and let's see if can work something out! I have a high focus on making sure every animal gets adequate amounts of physical and mental stimulation. If your dog has needs outside of what I have listed, let's have a conversation! Crating is required while I or my husband is not in the house. Your dog will be crated in a low stimulation environment away from other animals for proper decompression time. And will never be longer than 4 hours during the day.

“Natalie is absolutely amazing!! We originally booked for a specific day, but I had a last-minute family emergency. She accommodated our dog, Rosie, immediately and adjusted the booking with zero issues. Having that extra day to sort things out with my family without stressing was a lifesaver. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her. Highly recommended, and thank you again!”

About: Reliable and detailed oriented! I will get to know their personal needs , personality, and what works for them! Your pets second favorite human lol I am a body piercer. I work 10 minutes away from my home. I have a set time to take my puppy out as he is still going through potty training My apartment is pretty open for the fur babies to room around and I have a small fur baby of my own that can play with! There is a big area of grass around my complex where they can go potty and play and a dog park right up the street.

“My dog Stella loved spending time at Alison and Richard’s house! She got along so well with their 2 dogs, and I don’t think she wanted to leave! Alison and Richard were very flexible with our schedule and sent plenty of pictures and updates while we were gone. We will definitely be visiting them again soon!”

“Kara was so good with my pup Koda! She sent lots of pictures and videos during her stay. Kara walked her everyday like I do so she still had some normalcy. She made sure Koda was comfortable! I’m sure Koda will be excited to stay again with her. 10/10 recommend!”

Morraja S.

“Michelle was absolutely wonderful! Miss Olivia did great and I was updated numerous times a day which helped my kids and I from being away from our precious puppy. We will most definitely use her for any future trips.”

Cassandra and Lisa’s A.

“Felt very at ease leaving my pups in her care!”

Farrah P.

“Could not recommended Laura enough! She did an amazing job with Ebeneezer and even though we were worried about his anxiety…he felt right at home with her! She constantly provided updates and pictures to let us know how he was doing. Plus she responded quickly to any texts we sent! Would definitely use her services again in the future 💜”

Jane D.

“Would definitely recommend Bethany to watch your fur baby! Miss Nova had a blast and my man heart was happy with the multiple pictures, videos and updates! I will definitely book with her for our next getaway!”

Jennifer J.

“Brittany has been great with my pups. I felt super comf with them staying with her and her family. It helps a lot that she has her pup with her, who's super extroverted and helped get my younger dog out of his shell. I strongly recommend her! I'm just bummed that she's moving away from me 😞”
