Dog Boarding Hickory Ridge

“When my dog's anxiety became too overwhelming for the vet's boarding facility, I was in a last-minute panic trying to find someone to care for him. Thankfully, Christa stepped in without hesitation. She showed my boy so much love, patience, and genuine care, making sure he felt safe and comfortable during a stressful time. Knowing he was in such caring hands gave me incredible peace of mind. I couldn't be more grateful for their kindness, flexibility, and compassion. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly treat their pet like family! Thank you!”

“Sayuri was phenomenal. She and her husband took excellent care of our elderly dog and went above and beyond to make him comfortable. He was totally at ease there. Good communication. We will be happy to use her again.”

“Our Hendrix was well loved during his stay with this family. I received updates and pictures along with a video of him playing with the children. Tail wagging and quite talkative during my pickup I knew he was left in good hands big and small. I wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future.”

“Karen was truly AMAZING, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! This was our first time ever leaving our two-year-old pups, Ziggy and Ellie, with anyone, and we were going to be away for a very long trip. Naturally, we were nervous, but from the very beginning, Karen made the entire process feel seamless and immediately helped put our minds at ease. Before our meet and greet, I let Karen know that our schnauzer, Ziggy, can be protective when meeting someone new. Karen knew exactly how to approach the situation and took the time to make him feel comfortable and safe. It was clear right away that she is experienced with dogs and genuinely understands and cares about them. While we were away, Karen treated Ziggy and Ellie as if they were her own. She sent us daily updates, pictures, and videos, which meant more to us than she probably realizes. Being so far away from them for the first time was difficult, and seeing their faces and knowing they were happy, safe, and being loved gave us so much peace of mind. Unfortunately, both of our dogs became sick while we were gone, which meant a lot of extra work, cleanup, and special attention. Karen never hesitated. She went above and beyond to care for them and even had to take Ellie to the veterinarian. At times, we had limited phone service while traveling, and Karen helped communicate with the vet and made sure we stayed informed and Ellie received the care she needed. Having someone we could trust to handle such a stressful situation while we were so far away was absolutely invaluable. Karen exceeded every expectation we had. She wasn't simply a pet sitter—she became someone we completely trusted with two very important members of our family. Knowing that Ziggy and Ellie were being cared for with so much patience, compassion, and love allowed us to enjoy our trip without constantly worrying about them. Words truly cannot express how grateful we are for everything Karen did for Ziggy and Ellie and for us. We came home to two pups who had clearly been very loved and well cared for. We would trust Karen with them again without hesitation and feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. Thank you, Karen, for loving and caring for Ziggy and Ellie like they were your own. ❤️🐾”

“Marylee and her husband were so amazing with our Iris. They indulged her with healthy foods when she was too fussy to eat her own food, give her lots of cuddles and love, and let her run off her excess energy in their huge fenced-in yard. They also sent me frequent pictures and updates. They are loving and patient and I would highly recommend them. We will definitely be using them again, I hope!”

“Carrie and John were great! They loved on our doodle and he felt right at home! Our pup got along great with Carrie and John’s doodle, Fozzie! Highly recommend using this awesome caring family!”

“Shelley is so wonderful with Chester! She’s very responsive and sends lots of great pics. Chester loves her kids. She was great about not leaving him alone and avoiding other dogs, which make him a tough dog to sit.”

“Anna is a lovely person to interact with and a great pet sitter! She and her family took such good care of my cat, and seemed to truly enjoy having him in their home. I would 100% recommend her, and use her again in the future!”

“Hannie was a great sitter! I had to find somebody to watch over my dog last minute due to an event I was supposed to attend. She came to the rescue! Easy to communicate with and catered to all of Teddy’s needs - sent lots of videos and photos as well! :) Definitely book her, she’s amazing!!”

“Our dog was pampered and well cared for by the sitter. She came home happy and relaxed. They have a beautiful yard. We would definitely book with them again.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs among friends and neighbors for years. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while they’re in my care. Also, my schedule allows me to be home most of the day, which means frequent potty breaks, plenty of supervision, and lots of one-on-one attention! I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day. Caring for pets is already a regular part of my life, so providing walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day is easy to incorporate into my schedule. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, maintain a clean, calm environment, and treat every dog like a member of my own family.

“Reese had a good time with Cornell. He took Reese on long walks and to the park to help get his energy out. Cornell was very responsive in his commutation and was flexible and helpful when my schedule changed. We will for sure book him again soon.”

“Raghavi and her family were AMAZING!!! It was my first time booking a pet sitter, so I didn't really know what to expect, but I got so lucky! Raghavi let me do a little meet-and-greet before I even booked to make sure that Ryder was comfortable with her dog, which put me so at ease, and during the boarding itself, was so accommodating with Ryder's schedule (and went above and beyond by sending me lots of photos while I was away, which was such an unexpected but very nice and much appreciated surprise!) She was so easy to get in touch with, and when I needed an emergency extra couple of days covered, she was so flexible and easygoing about it. Definitely booking again!!! :)”

“We are so grateful to Pam! She treated Mikko incredibly well. And he played with toys for one of the first times (he’s a rescue and an older dog so this was amazing). His food has multiple steps to it and she was very detail oriented regarding this. Thank you again Pam!! 💌”

“It was a last minute book, i was having an emergency, she was gentle to book and take my 12 years old dog to day care on Sunday, and provide a picture of him. I only can say, Thank you!!”
