We always are sure to leash animals when they are not in the fenced area at your home. We want to encourage good behavior by following the training protocols that your animal has had, and also encouraging your pet to learn new things if they desire to.

Information Desi P. would like to know about your pet

If the dog is good around people and other pets, we encourage play, if not then we will have to consider more of an isolated atmosphere, and happy to make the recommended accommodations for their care. If the dog is aggressive and has bitten a person or another animal, in any manner, we would not be able to accommodate services.

A typical day

I’m an active person who enjoys adventure. We like making pup treats and training dogs or just cuddling is fun too! I am a musician and will play piano, guitar or any other instruments if available , for your animal if they like it! We love to watch dog movies.

Pet care experience

I offer full-time animal caretaking services, in mine or the client’s home. I’m available to offer continuous care most days, with the occasion need for errands and or an event. I prefer boarding, house sitting, drop ins and daily dog walking activities for families in the Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, Wilmington area, since I live in Carolina Beach, but I have offered longer care services for clients in Hamstead, Porter’s Neck, Southport and surrounding areas for additional cost. Please reach out, I’m happy to discuss our schedules and see if we are a good fit and how we can best suit your needs. I offer a fun loving and playful spirit that most dogs enjoy but I’m are also very experienced with all types of dogs/cats/animals, and have experience with elderly dogs and cats, who may have medical conditions that may need a little extra specialized attention; I offer a gentle and loving companion for your sweet pup, cat or other animals. You may see from past reviews information about our mountain house. We currently provide boarding care for this area when we visit the mountain house, a little about our farm - I own a 21 acre farm in Ferguson, NC. Centrally located between Wilkesboro and Boone. We have a huge mountainous terrain fenced with access to the house and a large gated wrap around porch. Currently our full time home is in Carolina Beach and we have the best biggest back fenced in yard, with a pet friendly deck and cozy inside space, if your dog is boarded at our home, you can expect for the dog to have contact with other dogs. I’ve owned many dogs in my life, i.e. Huskies, Newfoundland’s, Labs, Goldens, Havanese, Blue healers, Doberman pinchers, and loving mutts! I’ve sled and biked and hiked with dogs, trained dogs, and I am very comfortable around all animals. I have two daughters, (my oldest is in college) and an animal loving partner, Spencer, who also has a rover site, so if I’m not available he may be, and we are each others emergency contact in case something were ever to happen., They all love to play fetch, frisbee and agility and trick training. We have a lot of fun with our furry friends and can offer an abundant amount of love, care, space and time for your fur babies! We like to call ourselves the WildOnes and we can’t wait to hear from you and hopefully spend special time with your furry family!

Desi took great care of Bruno and he came back to us super happy and worn out (in a good way) since he got to play with other dogs the whole weekend. Desi was very good at communicating and sending photos/videos/updates of the dogs! Great sitter
