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.

“Christen always does an awesome job taking care of my pups. They love her and her two dogs, and Christen's responsiveness and care is excellent!”

“Kylene did a fantastic job watching Darby, she was kind, super easy to get a hold of, and sent lots of pictures. Will be using her again, would definitely suggest.”

“Jessica, Husband & family was absolutely amazing with my dog! From our first meeting, Jessica & her family was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with animals. She took the time to understand my dog’s routine and needs, and it really showed—my pup was happy, calm, and well cared for when I returned. I especially appreciated the regular updates and cute photos she sent throughout the stay—it gave me total peace of mind. I can’t thank her enough and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Ben and his family watched our very energetic 1 year old Bernedoodle, Kody, for a week while we were away. We were very comfortable knowing that he was being played with and well cared for. He came home happy and exhausted, so we know he was having fun. We will definitely recommend Ben and will not hesitate to use him again!”

“Jay is amazing! He hosted our attention-needing, couch-loving golden retriever for a week — and to say our pup settled in is an understatement. Every photo Jay sent had us laughing out loud because it was obvious Gus thought he owned the house. Jay not only provided Gus with a loving home, he also gave him good walks while keeping us updated on all the happenings. We absolutely recommend Jay if you’re in the Wrightsville/Carolina Beach area and looking for a great and comfortable home for your pets!”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have experience with many different breeds ranging from smaller dogs to bigger dogs. My fiancé and I rescued a beagle mix a couple years ago and she’s our baby! She is probably most sweet, happy, and quiet dog you could meet. We got her when she was 8 weeks old and could fit in the palm of my hand. Now she's a stubborn big back little girl that will do any trick you ask her if you have a treat in your hand. Overall I love dogs, I feel like you can never be mad when you have one. No matter what bad things they do, they win you back over by being cute and friendly. Pet care fits in my schedule every day of the week rather it's caring for my own pet, or taking care of someone else's. It would have to be either after I get off work or before I go in. On weekends anytime would work. How I/we care for our pets at home is by walking our dog 3-4 times a day depend on how many times she has to use the bathroom. And by also feeding her 2-3 times a day depending on how much she ate the time before. -We walk our dog in the morning before work, when we get home from work, and at night before we go to bed. Majority of the we’ll feed her after she goes out in the morning and then feed her again when we get home from work.

“Halie was great with taking care of Caspurr for us. Since he is skittish she gave him his own room to stay in. Would definitely use again in the future!”

“Kell did very well looking after Blossom. She kept us informed and sent pictures of our baby. Thanks for taking care of Blossom when we were gone.”

“Jordan took such good care of my dog over the holiday long weekend. She seems to really care about the animals and she sent me photo and video updates. She also replies to messages quickly, was friendly and flexible on drop off and pickup times which I really appreciated. I would definitely use her services again.”

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.”

“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.

“Thank you for taking care of Simbas as your own. So grateful for all the photos and updates too🙏🏻”

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.

“Andrea is a wonderful sitter! Very nice, accommodating, & quick to respond. Her dog is sweet, calm, & happy to share his house w/my dogs. I got pics every day & felt like they were a part of their family. Even Andrea's daughters took turns snuggling my dogs, so they were in heaven w/all the cuddle time on the couches & beds! Will definitely use again :)”

“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!”
