Pet Boarding Holly Ridge

About: Our family has always had dogs growing up and we love our fur baby. He is a retired working dog with the best manners and very friendly with small and big dogs. We will take care of your dogs like they’re ours because that’s how we would want someone to watch out dog! I have experience with military working dogs, police dogs, and pet dogs. I have been in the position to handle as well as train all types of dogs throughout my career as a handler. I work days and my wife usually works nights so someone can be with the dog at all hours with a possible laps but never anything over 4-6 hours. We are happy to send pictures and videos throughout your pets. Good sized fenced in yard, and glass door for ease of supervision, house is only one story so no stairs for pups or older dogs.

“This was my first occasion that I've had boarding my dog and he is seven years old. Jessica's meet and greet with my dog showed me her understanding, compassion, and treatment of animals was outstanding and genuine. Jessica's professionalism set me at ease. Her service was second to none, sending me pictures or videos of my dog daily doing various activities. It was clear to see my dog was well cared for and safe during his stay. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”

“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!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies and rescue dogs to senior dogs needing specialized attention, including my 16-year-old diabetic beagle who required daily medication, monitoring, and lots of extra love and patience. In my home, dogs are family. They’re welcome on the furniture, get plenty of affection, and are treated like part of the pack. Your pup will have lots of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. My community also has a dog park where dogs can safely run around and burn off energy. Whether your dog needs overnight care, walks, drop-in visits, or just a comfortable home away from home, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I work only part time on a flexible schedule, which means your pup will have lots of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. My community also has a dog park where dogs can safely run around and burn off energy. My community has a dog park where dogs can safely run around and burn off energy. Dogs are part of the family and allowed on the furniture

“No way we can’t leave ya a tip! Unfortunate circumstances but not to worry! We can always count on ya to take care of our animals just like we would”

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.

“Really satisfied with the service provided.”

“Ella enjoyed her stay with Cynthia. We picked her up early evening and she was totally out of energy - tired from walking and playing under Cynthia's care. She sent us photos daily and washed Ella's bedding prior to pick up. I think Cynthia genuinely knows and enjoys dogs. Thanks Cynthia!”

“Courtney did an amazing job watching our dog Rosie. She was attentive, communicative, and sent pictures during our dog’s stay with her. I will definitely be using Courtney again as a dog sitter!”

About: Hello, my name is Faith. I’ve been pet-sitting for 12 years and absolutely love all types of animals, both big and small. I have experience taking care of and walking all types of dogs and cats. Not only do I provide a great service for them, I also provide the love and affection that the owner would give if they were present. I work from home so am available to the animals all day. My neighborhood has lots of walking trails that I’d love to enjoy with your pup. We also have a dog park nearby that I love to take my own dog to that I can take your pup to (with parents permission of course!). I am happy to accommodate special requests. I even have grooming / bathing experience from my own pup as well. My goal is for you, the pet owner, to enjoy your time away and have the rest taken care of for your fur baby. With two pets of my own, I understand how important this is to pet owners. If you have any questions about my services, please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask. I work from home - so I am home all day every day to care for your pet. This helps me be extra flexible and to meet your pets need. Also, they will never be lonely! I have a large indoor space for your pet, pet beds, toys, treats and whatever your pet desires! Your pet will be safe, cared for and loved while in my care.

“Sarah stepped in to take last minute care of my foster dogs even though it was a big ask. They were comfortable, had fun, and she continued their "how to be a good dog in a new home" training, and they came back happy and relaxed! :)”

About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life. I have cared for the companions of family and friends and have also fostered a sweet boy. I have two dogs I adore very much, named Love (7 years) and Kid (3 years). We are very active and we go on long walks through different trails and parks in Wilmington. A couple years ago I lived in a house where part of my rent contract was caring for two senior dogs, a cat, and 8 chickens. I currently work from home, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available weekdays and weekends, and am happy to host dogs at my house as well. I have a fenced in yard, crates for my dogs, and can easily crate your dog if needed. We keep lots of toys and fresh water available at all times.

“Excellent! I can’t say enough how pleased I am with the loving care my pups always receive from Andrea and her family. I love that I can go out for the night or on vacation feeling secure that my babies are well taken care of. You guys are amazing!! Many thanks.”

“Stephanie watched our dog Finnigan for a few days and she was wonderful! She always kept us up to date and sent photos everyday. She walked him often and he seemed so happy the entire time. We’d love to book her again!”

Taylor K.

“Stephanie did a great job with Tyson! It was so much less stressful than using a kennel! We could tell Tyson felt right at home, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Stephanie again! Thank you so much!”
