Pet Boarding Oak Island

“Valerie was so flexible when my boarding dates changed 10+ times for pickup and drop off. She sent tons of photos of Finn and he came home so happy and well taken care of. Will 100% use Valerie for my future boarding needs!”

“Natalie is the best! She took very good care of our dog. She sent us lots of pictures of them having fun, she was flexible with pick up/drop off and she has a perfect home for pet sitting. We will definitely go to her again and recommend her!”

“Abigail communicated well and took good care of Cleo. She sent photos and kept me up to date. Cleo seemed to have a good time also. Just be sure to be clear if you only are looking for your pet to be the only dog as Cleo ended up boarding with another dog even though the sitters profile only indicated one pet at a time.”

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!

“Traveling from out of state for our granddaughter’s wedding, we did not know anyone to watch our 1 year old Maltipoo. Matt and Louise were wonderful to work with, very accommodating with coordinating times for wedding festivities and took great care of our family pet. Thank you for easing our anxiety leaving our little guy at your home.”

“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!!”

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.

“Jay was so great with our 4 year old golden doodle, Rio. He sent us several updates a day regarding how Rio was doing and eating along with many pictures. They went on multiple walks a day and Rio looked happy in all of the photos. Jay made us feel so much more at ease about leaving Rio while we were on vacation. We will definitely be using Jay’s rover services again in the future.”

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.

“Harley thoroughly enjoyed staying with Rebecca in her home. Rebecca took great care of Harley with companionship, walks, playing and feedings this past weekend. We would definitely ask Rebecca to watch Harley again. Thank your Rebecca - you're the best!!”

About: I love pets! I have dog sat for 7 years and cared for multiple house pets growing up. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and I’m able to provide most services. My availability is best on my days off work and evenings! I work full time, 12 hour shifts with multiple days off in between. Send me a message to inquire more! I am very understanding and will always follow household rules. I’m also aware that every pet has their own unique needs and I will do everything I can to meet them.

About: Have grown up with pups-German Shepherds, Great Dane and Bichon! Not all at once thou! Would love to help you take care of your pup! I have a part time job but it’s fairly flexible! What are your needs? I help friends and family out when they need pet care-now that I am semi-retired-thinking it can help pay some bills! I have an elevator building so walking your pup is no issue! I also don’t mind enjoying my coffee at your house-while I keep on eye on your furry friend!

“Pepper had a great time with Jordan and made a new pup buddy!”

Jessica W.

“She was absolutely amazing with my baby girl Bella, constantly gave me updates and sent lots of pictures. It made being away a lot easier when I knew how well taken care of she was! I definitely recommend her if you’re in need of someone trustworthy to watch your pup.”

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

About: I have grown up around animals and am experienced taking care of puppies to senior dogs. I have spent the last couple of years learning more about what makes a dog stay healthy and happy. I understand how a pet is a member of your family or your whole world so I will treat them as such. They deserve to be cared for at the standard they would be by you and I will take that responsibility seriously. I have my own dog at home and sometimes life gets busy and I need others to help me. I enjoy doing the same for others by dropping in, walking your dog, or watching them overnight. I have a very dog friendly apartment with its own walking trail to take your pet on a walk. I also have balcony’s overlooking the trail that dogs enjoy sitting on and watching the activity outside. I do have my own dog who is crate trained but he also always wants to play with other dogs. I can keep the dogs separated in my home, or out loose depending on your preference. I have no problem sharing furniture and couches with a fur baby because their comfort is my priority.

“Audre took such great care of our timid fur baby Joey while we were out of town. She was extremely kind, communicative and sent many photos & updates of our girl while we were away. She gave us such peace of mind knowing that our babe was in the best of hands throughout. Highly recommend!”

Erin S.

“Rachel did an awesome job of watching our active pup, Ouzel. Rachel kept him busy with hikes and lots of playtime with her friends' dogs. We appreciated Rachel's attention to the specific needs of our dog and her desire to learn how she could make him most comfortable in multiple situations. Although Ouzel was excited to see us when we picked him back up, he also took the time to say goodbye to Rachel which was very cute and showed us he had a good time. We would definitely have Rachel dogsit for us again!”

Michael K.

“I can honestly say that this was our favorite experience on Rover Amos was absolutely amazing ! He took our puppy everywhere to the dog park on walks ! An showed us everything via Video and pictures!! We will definitely use AMOS again in the future unless he’s not available! Thank you !”

Tommie T.

“For my first time using Rover I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Courtney. My dog enjoyed her time with her and she was very friendly throughout the whole process! I will definitely be contacting her again for future dates and I look forward for my dog to spend time with her again. She was also good keeping me updated with pictures and videos of my puppy so that was a big plus!”
