Dog Boarding Selwin

“Thanks goodness we found John. He was able to accommodate our rottie, Mazie for the week we spend on vacation with only a couple weeks notice. We got a daily update with pics and video everyday letting us know how she was doing. So communication was great through the whole process. We will definitely keep John in mind when we vacation again in the OBX.”

“ERIC Always provides a safe, fun and dog friendly space for my highly Anxious dog. He let's her snuggle up to feel safe and gives her plenty of space to run around and play with other dogs. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM..I drive 20.miles just to use his boarding service.”

About: I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs and cats for over 16 years, and I treat every pet like family. I’m experienced with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs, and I understand how important it is to provide them with patience, love, attention, and a safe environment. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply some companionship while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. 🐾❤️ I currently work part time running my own business and I choose when I want to work, so it gives me more time with our pets and children. I have a fenced yard, and we are looking at adding a play area for the dogs to enjoy their time outside. The fenced portion is about 1/2 of an acre.

“Thank you! Wonderful sitter, keeps me updated with photos and takes great care of my boy Remi. He never wants to come home! He loves it there! ❤️”

“Vania is an EXCELLENT dog sitter. She kept my 10 week old Benji (He's a Cavapoochon) overnight when I had to make a trip to North Carolina. She frequently updated me on how he was doing with texts and pictures. This was Benji's 1st stay away from home and I was never worried that he wasn't being taken care of. I highly recommend Vania for dog sitting and boarding. I will definitely use her services again! ?”

“Michael responded quickly to our booking request and coordinated a meet and greet with his own dog. His yard is a great set up for dogs to run and play. with a high fence for those that may like to jump. He and his wife were great with our furbaby, Lizzie. He sent pictures and updates throughout the visit and I felt like my pup was just part of the family. So much better than any boarding facility! Looking forward to having her stay there again.”

Lisa P.

“Marcia was great! She was very responsive to messages and sent regular updates and pics of my pups during their stay. I highly recommend Marcia!”

Shala S.

“This was our second time having Cassie and Tradd watch our dog while we were in vacation and we can’t recommend them enough! He ran right in, so excited to be there, and we always appreciate all the updates they send. Definitely the best home away from home for our fur child ❤️”

Tina H.

“She was incredible with both my labs. Very responsive. Sent updates of them playing. I felt totally comfortable with them in her care. She even exercised them on a treadmill on a rainy day. I would recommend her to anyone looking for dog care in the area.”

Austin A.

“Morgan did an awesome job taking care of our puppies! Kept me updated daily on how things were going and sent pictures. Most definitely will use her again and refer her to any friends in search of a sitter. Thank you Morgan!”

Amy S.

“Excellent communication! We are so happy we have a safe/caring environment to take our dog to when we go away for a few days. We received plenty of pictures and updates of how he was doing during his stay. We would definitely recommend to others whom are looking for a reliable place to board their pet. Thank you Sabrina!”

Kristin A.

“OMG!!!! By far THE BEST EXPERIENCE I could ask for. Loved the transparency from the beginning! My Harmonie had the BEST time and I loved the pic mail received during her stay. Definitely will rebook when in town!!!!”

About: 40+ years’ experience caring for and loving dogs of all ages. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs and even those in their prime with plenty of energy. I am experienced with administering medicine if needed and caring for those with special needs. My husband and I have always had our own fur babies (toy and standard poodles), but do not have any currently. Can host only NON-SHEDDING BREEDS, due to family allergies. Must be house broken/trained (to potty outside), with the exception of puppies. I am retired, so I’m always here to give extra cuddles, potty breaks, play time and walks. I really love their company! Tell me their routine while at home with you and I will do my best to ensure it stays the same when in my care. We have a large fenced yard with shade in a small and quiet subdivision. Our home is two story so plenty of room for playing and naps. If they do not care stairs, I will ensure stay on the main floor. Our neighborhood is perfect for walks. I have crates if they are crate trained and you prefer that, but that is not necessary unless that is your preference. Being on the furniture or bed in our home is fine with me too. I give extra special attention if they are nervous for any reason such as thunderstorms, loud noises (such as fireworks on a holiday). I am very attentive and adapt to small things such as if they just don't like going out in the rain. I always send daily updates including photos, videos & text throughout their stay.
