Pet Boarding Holly Ridge

About: I’ve had experience handling, training and caring for dogs of any breed, fifteen plus years. Just recently moved from Washington where I volunteered and donated to Summit Assistance Dogs. My experience with puppies has come from the association above. Though I know how to administer meds and exercise through personal experience with my own kids (dogs). I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, attending part-time college. My schedule is open Monday-Friday, due to weekends for my children’s games. Have plenty of time for fur babies. I have a fenced backyard, behind us I have a walking path to the forest. Plenty of space to get zoomies and games of fetch or catch. My family (older children) offers plenty of playtime and cuddles!

“Amazing caregiver for our sweet Oscar. He requires a lot of love and Jay was definitely up for the challenge. Great communication and flexibility. Definitely recommend!”

“Coco loved staying with Ben and his family for 6 days while we went away. She’s used to having a busy family around her and loves people, so the situation was perfect with their 3 sweet boys to play with her and give her love and attention. Such a nice family, great with dogs, and very trustworthy. Ben’s wife sent me pictures and updates on Coco and also got a tick off of her! I already knew she was in good hands, but felt even more reassured by the occasional communication. I’m so happy we didn’t have to board Coco and will definitely be requesting Ben’s services again!”

“Home away from home! Thanks to Kylene for providing such loving and comfortable care for our guy while we were out of town. Not only did we stay in close contact, but Kylene accommodated our drop off and pick up needs. Our guy needs meds and gentle handling and Kylene ensured he was well cared for. No doubt we will rely on Kylene’s services in the future! Love her!”

“Great communicator and Milo loved her lil pup. I will definitely book again”

“Will and Sara were awesome! You can rest easy leaving your pet with them for sure. They kept me up to date on how Cooper was doing along with great pics and videos. Cooper had a blast with Louie and if I ever have to use Rover again, Will and Sara will be who I contact first!”

“Rachel could not have been more caring. Oliver enjoy his time with Rachel and loved his playtime. She was so thoughtful to send pics and videos of her stay with Oliver.”

About: The summer I graduated from college I created a side gig in which I walked and sat dogs and cats for folks in the Brunswick Forest community of Leland, NC. My name was semi-well known in the community for a few months as I helped out many people in BF. In addition, walking and sitting dogs and cats is something I’ve been doing for the past few months. My sister has Rover account and she’s walks and sits pets. She gives me all of the gigs she doesn’t have the time for. Now I figured it’s time for me to create an account of my own! I currently work 40 hours a week. Aside from the fact that I’ll have to be gone at work for 5-8 hours most days out of the week, I’ll be very available for your dog/cat. I’m available for boarding any day of any week. As far as boarding goes, I’ve spent nights at customers places of residence and I’ve also invited dogs/cats into my apartment when the customer prefers that. I’m okay with both(keeping in mind there’s a 100% chance your dog or cat would prefer to remain in their own territory). If your dog or cat is going to be staying at my place, I only ask that they are potty trained. If a dog walking service is something you’d like me to do, we would have to schedule things on a weekly basis, as my schedule changes every week. I would have to walk your dog either before or after my shift. If walking your dog is something you’d like me to do for you on a multi-weekly basis, then I would let you know my work schedule at the beginning of every week and we would plan the walks for the week from there. I never fail to keep anyone updated. I only get 30 mins for lunch and my apartment is 15 mins away from my place of work. So, driving back to my place or someone else’s place to tend to a pet during my lunch wouldn’t be an option. Walking a dog during my lunch would be equally impossible. But, like I said, I’d be willing to walk a dog directly before or after a work shift. I live in an apartment in Birchwood Park, on Birchwood Drive. So, I don’t have a backyard. However, if you ever come over to my apartment complex you’d discover that’s there’s quite a bit of open and grassy space within the confines of the complex. My point being, if I invite your dog to my apartment then it’s not a problem for me to take them outside every 2-3 hours, or however often you’d prefer. It should go without saying that directly before I leave for a work shift I will always make sure your dog has been taken outside to go to the bathroom. I’ll also take them on a walk if that’s something you’d like me to do. And as always, I’ll make sure they’re fed before I leave. I’ll also take them out, feed them, and/or walk them as soon as I return from work. I will follow your instructions exactly the way you intended for them to be followed. I won’t miss a beat or a step. If sending you pictures of your dog or cat while you’re away is something that you’d like me to do, then I can do that. When your dog or cat(or any pet for that matter) is in my care, then you may truly be at ease. I love dogs and cats alike. I love playing and interacting with them.

“Jordan was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond and took such great care of my cat. Would highly recommend her to watch your pet :)”

“Alex did a phenomenal job from drop off to pick up, he was super flexible and thorough. Our dog stayed with Alex over the weekend and we gave him a detailed list of our preferences. He went above and beyond by sending update photos of our dog multiple times during the day as well as sent us texts to keep us up to date. Just phenomenal! Thank you Alex.”

About: I have had dogs all my life! I started watching other people’s animals when I was 15 and I also worked on a farm during that time. I worked as a veterinary technician for 2 years and have a keen eye when it comes to dogs! I rescued my own dog almost 4 years ago and life has been great with him! I would give your animal the same care I would give my own! And let me tell you … my boy miiight be a bit spoiled! I currently work Monday through Friday and I am away from the house 8-5. On weekends I would be able to give the pups my time and attention. I am very active and enjoy bringing my dog on quiet trails or out to the park. My dog River is a chihuahua mix that is very good with other animals. If I am to come to you, it would either just be me or River (my dog) and myself depending on what your animal is most comfortable with! You and your home will be treated with respect at all times. We give lots of snuggles and scheduled feedings, and I am fine with administering medication. Your dog will feel like they are on vacation when they are with me!

“Very warm and loving household and super helpful little ones to boot! Sayton is POOPED and had a great weekend all on short notice. Our new beach getaway dog-auntie! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Kardi and Sebastian! From March 13th to the 23rd, she took amazing care of my babies, and they absolutely loved her. She kept me updated every day with pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was on vacation. It was clear from the start that she truly loves animals and treated mine like her own. When I picked them up, they were happy, well cared for, and completely at ease. If you’re looking for a reliable, loving, and attentive sitter, look no further—she’s the best! I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much for everything! ❤️🐾”

“Thank you Sarah for taking care of my babyy while I was away! Sarah was very attentive and kept me updated throughout the stay. My pup seemed to enjoy herself a lot! Will book again and def recommend!!”

“Robb was wonderful with my dog Piper! When I picked her up, I could tell she had a wonderful stay with Robb- full of love, snuggles, and treats! I never felt concerned or worried, he is incredibly communicative and loves animals. I will be booking with Robb again!!”

“Landon took great care of Rusty while we were away for 6 days. We would definitely use him again.”

Stacey S.

“Isabel was absolutely amazing with Storm! She sent photos throughout the day to put me at ease and certainly gave her plenty of exercise. She was available short notice and was flexible when my plane was delayed. I would highly recommend Isabel to anyone looking for boarding in the Wilmington area. I will definitely be calling her again when I travel again!”

About: Hi! I’m Ally, and I’ve always had such a big love for animals! I previously worked at Dogtopia, a dog daycare, where I spent my days caring for dogs of all different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I was responsible for supervising playgroups, making sure everyone was safe, and giving each dog the attention and care they needed. That experience taught me so much about working with different dogs and understanding their behaviors. I also had to take a course to know learn behaviors and when to read their responses, as well as when to know when they are all types of sick or injuries. I genuinely love spending time with animals and will always treat your pets like they’re my own! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone, and I would love to be someone you can trust to keep them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! I’m currently a college student here in Wilmington and also play soccer! My schedule is pretty flexible outside of classes and practices i have morning practice that ends at 9 and then only one in person class on mondays. So I have time throughout the week and on weekends to care for your pets. I love spending time with animals and would be more than happy to work with you to find times that fit both of our schedules! I’ll always make sure your pets get the time, love, and attention they deserve! Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my top priority! With my previous experience working at Dogtopia, I’ve learned how important it is to understand each dog’s personality and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll always respect your space and follow any routines or instructions you have for them. Whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I’ll make sure they’re well taken care of! I also love sending pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are happy and safe while you’re away!

About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs and even bunnies of every kind for many years! I can walk, feed, bathe, and play with your pets I’m here for whatever needs you have! I can offer check ins, feedings, and letting them out during the day. As well as play and walking throughout the day. I can also do night/ overnight sitting any day! I can care for your pets in your home exactly as you prefer! I am comfortable with all pets and can provide compatible care for your little guys whenever needed!

About: I grew up in a home with both dogs and cats and have always loved caring for animals. When I was six years old, my parents gifted me a kitten named Sophia. She became my best friend and lived to be 20 years old before recently passing away from chronic kidney disease (CKD). Caring for Sophia throughout her life taught me a lot abt what cats need to thrive, including administering subcutaneous fluids and supporting a senior pet with medical needs. I also volunteer with a local cat rescue, where I spend time caring for cats and learning about their unique personalities and needs. Since Sophia’s passing, I’ve realized how much I miss having animals in my daily life. Pet sitting allows me to share that love and care with other people’s pets while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family members are in good hands. I’m currently working full time but available everyday after 3:00. With the schedule I have, it allows me to still devote time to caring for your fur babies! I’m more than happy to come to your home to care for your pet so that you can enjoy your time away from home without anxiety!
