Pet Boarding Southport

About: What sets me apart is my medical background and hands-on animal experience across a wide range of species. I worked veterinarian settings for 6-10 years, so I’m comfortable monitoring health changes, administering basic medications, and recognizing early signs of illness or distress. Safety and attentiveness come naturally to me. I also hold a Bachelors in agriculture, which gives me a strong understanding of animal behavior, nutrition, and proper husbandry. I regularly foster puppies and dogs, as well as cats and kittens, so I’m experienced with: • Potty training & crate training • Socialization and basic obedience • Bottle feeding & neonatal care • Senior pet comfort and mobility support Your pets won’t just be watched — they’ll be understood, monitored, and genuinely cared for like family. As a stay-at-home mom, my days are centered around caring for others — which makes pet visits a natural and dedicated part of my routine. I structure my schedule around reliable drop-ins, giving each pet calm, unhurried attention and consistent care throughout the day. I follow feeding schedules closely, refresh water, administer medications if needed, and provide attentive companionship tailored to each pet’s personality — whether that’s playtime, enrichment, quiet company, or extra cuddles. I’m respectful of your home, clean in my habits, and mindful of details. I send consistent updates with photos so you can feel fully at ease while you’re away. My goal is for you to return to a happy, relaxed pet and a home just as you left it.

About: Yes, I mean all of them! Pet care is my full time hobby and job. I have experience with nearly every kind of pet, from cats and dogs of any size to birds, fish, and exotics like reptiles, amphibians, and inverts! 🐈🐟🦎 I started caregiving when I was 14 and my love for animals has truly shaped who I am today at 20. I feel gifted for each and every 4 or more-legged family member I get to meet! 💗 I'm available any day, any time! If I'm not spending time with someone else's pet for work, then I'm hanging out with my own. This is my life and my passion 💖 I have a large, fenced in yard, a friendly dog and 2 cats for your babies to hang out with! There are two young children (7&9) at my house who are ready to assist in giving endless amounts of attention and play to your energetic pets in addition to quiet areas for those who are more shy to stay comfortable! 😊 Of course, toys and treats provided 💕

About: We have lived and cared for dogs for many years and genuinely love and enjoy all animals. Your pet will be in excellent care with us! One or both of us is home for the majority of the day to live and take care of your animals. We are very intentional and with walking and playtime. We have a fenced in yard with a friendly 3 year old golden retriever to keep your dog company. We will make sure they are safe and have lots of fun.

About: I have taken care of both small and large pets, as well as aggressive breeds. I am also familiar with administering medicine to animals as I grew up with several pets that had medical needs. Additionally, in college, I fostered a dog for the first time. I absolutely loved the experience and it made me more familiar with rescue animals and their tendencies. Please keep in mind that I have a 14 year old Australian Terrier (like Todo from the Wizard of Oz) at home should you request boarding. She is very easy going with other dogs, but I kindly ask that other pets be the same. I am a college student who is currently home for the summer. I have a remote internship online and can be very flexible with my schedule in order to care for your furry friends! I understand that our pets are members of our families and deserve all the attention and care we can possibly give me. I take this to heart and do my best to ensure they are well cared for so that you may enjoy your time away, without worry. With that said, I am respectful of the fact that you are entrusting me with your pet and your home. It is my top priority to make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe with the situation.

“Our poodles stayed with Cathryn for 4 days/3 nights and seemed to have enjoyed their stay. Yogi got some big dog playtime in and would be happy to visit again. I usually travel with him but this was a girl’s birthday trip to Vegas, so… Thanks so much Cathryn. I don’t trust just anybody to care for our boys and you did a great job!”

About: Experienced with a variety of pets, personalities, and temperaments, including pets with different routines and needs. I’m dependable, attentive to detail, comfortable with walks and exercise, and experienced with administering medications when needed. You can count on me to follow your instructions carefully and provide consistent, responsible and loving care. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and allows me to spend more time with your pet throughout the day. I’m able to provide attentive, consistent care rather than simply stopping by and rushing off. I prioritize safety, consistency, and a calm environment for every pet in my care. I carefully follow your instructions, keep pets secure and supervised, and pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and individual needs. My goal is for you to feel completely confident knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Ashley is awesome! She is quick to respond and always sends updates. This is my 4th time booking with her. She treats my dog like one of her own.”

“Jackie was such a great sitter for our Goldendoodle puppy! She kept in close contact with us and gave us updates throughout our dog's stay. We felt comfort knowing that our lil pup was in good hands. I would recommend Jackie 100%!”

Mekelle W.

“Debbie did a wonderful job with our little mini red heeler puppy! Will 100% rebook if needed again!”

Bethany B.

“Barb was absolutely a wonderful dog sitter! Our Labradoodle Ziggi was well taken care of and had a great time with her. Barb was very friendly and easy to communicate with. She kept us informed daily with pictures about how Ziggi was doing. We had an unexpected family emergency and had to fly out on Thanksgiving day which was already stressful and Barb made it so much easier and was very accommodating. Knowing that Ziggi would be taken care of took a lot of stress away from our trip. We would definitely use Barb again to dog sit Ziggi.”

“Amber was awesome! I was able to get lots of pictures while I was gone which was amazing! My dog had the best time! Will definitely book with her again!”

Ceara V.

“Reya is amazing! I left my dog with her for 2 weeks, and I have never felt so reassured and comfortable. This isn't something I've done often and was so hard for me to leave Woody for 2 weeks, but Reya was so patient and it was so obvious she cared. Will 100% book with her again and recommend her to anyone who wants a trusted and caring person to look after their dog.”

Abby T.

“I had to book last minute and Stephanie was so accommodating. She took such good care of my girl, Ruby. Sent adorable videos and pictures and updates before I could even ask. She was amazing. I would absolutely book again.”

Tasha C.

“Heather was amazing! She sent daily updates and photos of our dog and how he was doing. She went above and beyond to make sure that our dog was comfortable as he was so nervous and has separation anxiety. He was well cared for and we were at ease the entire time. I would not hesitate to rebook with her.”

“My puppy had a great time, had a friend to play with and the owners sent so many photos :)”

“Kelsey was awesome! Kept us updated with pictures everyday and was a wonderful host to our pup! Our pup left with a smile. 11/10 would use again. Thank you!!!”

“Brittney was terrific watching our dog. She always responded in a timely manner, was completely flexible to any requests/concerns we had, and provided us regular photos and feedback of the visit. Our dog is fairly anxious and doesn't spend much time alone. Leaving him at a traditional boarding kennel causes a lot of stress on all of us. Brittney did great watching him, and he seemed to be very comfortable with her. We had a terrific vacation knowing he was in good hands while were at the beach. I would absolutely recommend her services.”

“My son and I can't say enough about how exceptional and professional Fabricia was in caring for our little furbaby, Toriana, last month when we were overseas. Fabricia took fantastic care of Tori, with peanut appearing happy and healthy throughout her stay and in the days since. Fabricia sent us many pics daily of Tori running after her squeaky toy, being lovingly pampered, eating heartily, resting comfortably, and interacting so very well with her new bestie, Romeo. If we could give a score higher than 5/5 for the great care Tori received, we would indeed! We were very lucky to find Fabricia and her wonderful hubby, and we'll definitely be calling on them again!! Thanks again for everything :)”
