Dog Boarding in Royal Pines, NC

“Jennifer is an amazing sitter! She was so attentive to our dogs needs and we felt so comfortable leaving him for the weekend. She updated us with pictures and messages letting us know what was happening. We will definitely be asking her to watch Ash again. I cannot recommend anyone more!”

“If you want to leave your furry friend(s) with folks that will treat him/her/them like one of the family reach out to Ann & Jaren! This was our first time ever boarding our dog, Opal. The experience could not have gone better. The initial meeting with Jaren, drop off, communication during the week, and pick up was AMAZING! We received pictures and videos of her playing and being cuddled. We could tell Opal was having a blast with her new friends, which allowed us to relax with no worries. We will definitely be using them again in the future.”

“Boomer had the best time while staying with KaLynn. She sent lots of pictures showing all of Boomer's buddies during his stay, and KaLynn even had a birthday party for one of dogs. This is Boomer's second time of being with KaLynn, and I plan on sticking with her in the future!”

“Michelle was very communicative and responded quickly. She provided updates and photos throughout the stay. She sent photos of the adventures and fun things my dog was doing with the family. Michelle was flexible with drop off and pick up. She even sent home some homemade treats. My anxious dog seemed very comfortable with her stay and I will definitely use Michelle again in the future!”

“Richard was watching my puppy when hurricane Helene hit. Despite the chaos and crisis he stayed in communication as best he could and kept her safe the entire time I was gone. Words can’t express my gratitude. Aside from that, he was very accommodating of her puppy needs and took great care of her.”

“Emmalee and her family took wonderful care of my dog, Sophie! They gave her lots of love, read and followed all my directions, and provided regular updates. They're a delightful family and I would highly recommend them!”

“Alison was great. Yoshi very much enjoyed his stay and I don't think he missed us very much. I loved the pictures of Yoshi having a fun time. It made my trip even more relaxed and not having to worry if Yoshi was getting along with everyone. But he's a love bug and nosy. Thank you so much for taking care of my fur baby!”

Glendee S.

“I was away for 4 days. Melissa and her family kept my 2 dogs. She stayed in touch by text and sent several photos. She responded in a timely manner to my messages. Thank you, Melissa!”

About: I speak dog. I am a natural born doggie mom. Dogs like me and I like them. We just get each other. I can't imagine my life without being surrounded by dogs. Twenty years ago I started up a pet care company on a fluke, just for fun, and it took off like gangbusters and grew to be the second largest pet care company in that town. Then I sold it to a single mom who had been working with me when I moved out of the area. I have started businesses from scratch and grown them using processes, systems and technology to stay organized and professional. I limit the number of dogs I care for so that they all get individualized attention. I also make sure that any dogs that join the pack are screened to make sure they are healthy and friendly with all the other dogs so everyone gets along. I have a huge doggie apartment in my home for everyone to hang out in and a large fenced in yard for them to all play in. I work from home and love being surrouned by dogs. We provide constant supervision while your dog is visiting. Someone will always be with the pack except for brief breaks to run an errand of take a potty break. I work remotely from home as a business and career coach. So, I am home all day and I have a housemate who is my assistant pack pal to make sure everyone is happy, healthy and well taken care of during their entire visit with us. Dogs in our care are never left unattended for longer than a few minutes to an hour at most. Safety and socialization are our priorities. We have designated drop off and pick up times of 7:30 am - 9am drop offs and 4 - 6 pm pick ups. We provide a large clean, safe, comfortable indoor space for dogs to play, lounge, and get lots of tummy rubs. There is also a large covered patio area and fenced in yard for pups that like to play outside and get their zoomies on. We will feed dogs according to their routine and ownders' requests. We will give approved treats to visiting pack pals on owner's approval. We provide a balanced environment and routine for pups to play or rest and relax, and make friends to supervised socialization that empowers them and builds their confidence. We welcome new pack pals into our home as if they were one of our furry family members. We don't use crates of kennels. Everyone is treated like an honored guest and given space to roam and relax in a cozy home environment. I have a whole area of my home in the basement that is designated as the pack pals play pen with a huge fenced in yard for them to play in. We have a doggie door so they can go in and out as they please. The entire doggy den is supplied with lots of comfortable dog beds and a doggy couch for dogs to nap and sleep. We don't use crates of kennels, unless a doggy parent has crate trained their dog and prefers that we crate their dog at night to sleep. Dogs are given a nice balance of a safe, clean, and comfortable indoor space to play and sleep over, as well as a fenced in dog yard and covered patio for potty breaks and play time in the sunshine. We also subscribe to a pooper scooper service that comes mutliple times per week to keep the yard clean and healthy.

“Katie & Jeremy were great at communicating and sending pictures of our dogs stay with them. Creature seemed to have a great time and fit in well with them. Def would use them again!”

“Lindsey was fantastic and I'm so glad I found her. She was conveniently located just off of Long Shoals and 26. Once we met I felt like I could breathe with ease - I trusted her from the outset. She's sweet, smart and responsible, and has the cutest dog herself and Gracie took to him without even the slightest hesitation, which is unique for her. During the time Lindsey was great with communication and sent photos that made me smile. So yes, I'll be asking Lindsey again, especially whenever I take trips south from Asheville -- for sure.”

“Kharen was a wonderful dog sitter for Molly. She sent messages and photos several times every day, so I could see that Molly was doing fine. I would recommend her to others looking for boarding for their dogs, and I will use her again.”

“Elijah was the best! Quick communicator. And I felt very at ease leaving my fur baby with him. I will certainly use him again. This, by far, has been my best pet sitting experience in years! THANK YOU SO MUCH, Elijah!”

Laura D.

“Debbie was marvelous! We were a little nervous as our Abbey is a 13 year-old 3-pound chihuahua who is almost blind and Ghirardelli is a 6-pound bouncy poodle. Debbie has four dogs of her own. Two are huge boyzois! No worries-all four of her fur babies were very, very sweet! Debbie cuddled Abbey and our babies slept with her grandson which they absolutely loved!!! We got pics and updates every day. Debbie even waited up for our late flight so that we could get our babies as soon as we got back home. Best puppy B&B ever!!! We will be back, Debbie.”

Nancy L.

“I hesitate to leave a review for Laura lest she become so popular that she’s unable to care for my dog. Laura was born to work with animals. She was fully beamed in to Rigatoni’s needs and moods and he came home happy and relaxed. Laura kept me updated on how Rigs spent his days and sent many photos. I’ve been using Rover for years and Laura is far and away the best pet sitter I’ve ever found.”

Meg R.

“My little morkie had another wonderful stay with Maria and Jose! It is so comforting to go on a trip and not worry about my pup. They are excellent at communicating daily and treat her as one of the family. I highly recommend!!”

Beth C.

“I am SO happy we found Ethan & Hope! They have a perfect puppy sitting home, they are so kind and sent me the best pup-dates. Dezi can’t wait to stay with them again!”

Kristin M.

“I can’t say enough about how well Ben’s stay with Micah went, given that Ben has separation anxiety and can get a little anxious, I was somewhat concerned how he would do. Based on the many photos Micah sent, I could see that Ben settled in quite nicely, and that Micah and Koda were a great fit for him. I would highly recommend Micah.”
