Dog Boarding Hickory Ridge

“Our little pack and kitty were well cared for by Todd, who is a natural with dogs and cats. He kept their individual quirks in mind while caring for them and gave them lots of attention. We really appreciated the frequent updates and pictures while we were away. Since it's so hard to leave them, the updates made all the difference for us. We would happily book with Todd again.”

“I felt very at ease leaving Diesel with Frances! Diesel had plenty of safe space to play and went for walks. He went on a short trip to Belle Island. Frances also gave him his daily medicine. And I loved the picture she sent me. With her background I was pretty sure she could handle my guy. I will definitely recommend Frances to others. Diesel looks forward to staying again with his new buddy! ”

“Our fur-baby Charley looked like he enjoyed his stay with Terry and Shep. Because they provided daily updates, pictures, and videos we could see he was happy and content. I would highly recommend Terry and Shep to anyone looking for a pet sitter. They have a very nice house and yard so we felt very comfortable leaving Charley there. We can not thank them enough for taking such excellent care of Charley and reducing our anxiety due to leaving him with "strangers". We will definitely be reaching out to them again when we need a pet sitter.”

“Sharon cared for my dog like one of her own and provided plenty photo updates! I would happily rebook for boarding service with her whenever needed.”

“Ms. Shannon was absolutely wonderful! This was Toby’s first time staying with her, and it was a 10+ day stay, so naturally, we wanted to make sure he was in good hands. Ms. Shannon was so accommodating and open to meeting beforehand so we could all get acquainted and comfortable before the extended stay. That meant a lot to us and gave us peace of mind. Throughout his stay, she took excellent care of Toby and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well looked after. We truly appreciated her attentiveness, kindness, and willingness to make the experience a positive one, especially for his first time away from home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Ms. Shannon.”

About: For as long as I can remember, dogs have been a huge part of my life. With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, I’ve learned that every pup is different and deserves care that’s just as unique as they are. For the past 7+ years, I’ve also been fostering dogs through local rescues. Helping dogs transition from uncertain beginnings into loving homes has been incredibly rewarding and has given me experience with many different temperaments, energy levels, and personalities. The idea of boarding dogs in my home came from a challenge I faced myself — finding a place that truly felt safe, loving, and comfortable for my own dogs when I had to go away. I wanted more than just a place for them to stay. I wanted them to feel cared for, understood, and treated like family. When your dog stays with me they will enjoy plenty of safe, supervised playtime in a large, fully fenced yard, giving them space to run, explore, and burn off those zoomies. Whether your dog loves active play or relaxing cuddle time, their comfort, safety, and happiness always come first. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. We’re used to having dogs around and all the activity and responsibility that comes with them, so caring for pets feels like a normal part of everyday life. When we don’t have any extras here, the house actually feels a little too quiet—like something is missing! I want every pet in my home to feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I try to keep their routine and familiar comforts as much as I can—if they sleep in the bed at home, they’re welcome in the bed here; if they love curling up on the couch, that’s where they’ll be. My goal is to make their stay feel like a vacation, not a kennel stay. I want them to feel safe, relaxed, loved, and right at home while their family is away.

“Great experience. Very easy and timely communication. I will contact her again whenever I need a sitter.”

Thanks a lot for your personal care towards Quinn in feeding when he doesn’t show interest to eat his food . Believe he had so much fun with all other dogs this time as well. Thanks a lot for sharing his pics and videos very frequently and providing updates throughout the day to us.”

“Carrie was awesome! It was our first time using Rover and Carrie and her family made us feel very comfortable leaving our dog there for the weekend. Her dog was also a great buddy for ours to hang out with. I would highly recommend her.”

“Had my 5 year old Westie stay with Piero’s family for labor day weekend & had an amazing experience! Piero was communicative & provided updates throughout Summer’s stay. He also groomed her which was an added plus! Will definitely be using Piero again in the future!”

“Fantastic time was had by all! Brianna is a warm soul who knows dogs, detailed, and observant! I looked forward to her message updates and pictures of the pups while i was away on a trip.”

“Cooper enjoyed his time with Huan, her family, their dog and the daycare dog. She fussed over him and let me know of any concerns immediately. We also got daily pictures and videos. He came home exhausted.”

Bonnie S.

“Lauren and her boyfriend are friendly, communicative pet parents! I really appreciated the daily updates so I knew that my dog was enjoying her stay with them. She came home happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely be a return customer and will recommend Lauren to my friends with dogs!”

“Diamond was awesome with my high needs dog. She provided tons of picture updates and my normally anxious dog was clearly relaxed & well cared for in her home. Plus her children are adorable. We will definitely board our dog with Diamomd again the future.”

“We did a meet and great with Ivan and my dog felt comfortable with him. He does have a dog and I was excited for my pup to have a playmate during her visit. He was flexible with the drop off and pick up. His home was safe for a dog and he has a fenced in back yard. He sent pictures of my pup in various places in his home, yard and on a walk.”
