Dog Boarding in Stecoah, NC

“Amy and her family treated my little furbaby Buddy like a member of their family. Not only did he receive excellent care but the pictures, videos and updates Amy sent put me at ease on my trip knowing he was doing so well. I would not hesitate to use Amy again.”

“Michelle is wonderful! Phoenix warmed up quite quickly to Michelle and immediately took to playing with her pups. Made it a point to stop by before heading home so Phoenix could say goodbye to her new friends. Planning to schedule a day or two when back in the area just so Phoenix can see her friends again.”

“Cody and Rachel took excellent care of our fur babies!! Rachel provided updates, which put our minds at ease. Knowing that our babies were playing and having a wonderful time meant so much. We would definitely recommend them!!”

“Tia is awesome! My pup’s first overnight and day camp went great. She sent lots of cute pics and the sweetest little write-up of how his stay went. I felt so comfortable leaving my little guy with her, especially after getting to meet the other dogs and seeing how calm and loving she was in her interactions with all of them. We are so grateful that our dog has a safe and nurturing place to socialize, play, and tire himself out! We will definitely be back and he can’t wait 😊”

“Jessica came through again. We had to leave a day early and Jessica flexed to take Sully. Then our return trip had unexpected delays and she stepped up last minute to keep our boy an extra night. We are so appreciative for her support. Our boy loves his time with Jessica and her family, especially his buddy Tucker!”

“If I could give 10 Stars, I would!!! Megan is the best…period. She communicates very well, my dog adores her, she’s diligent about bringing him outside for exercise, and she’s been unbelievably flexible! I will use her again and again and again!!”

“April and Rob were wonderful! This was the first time I was away from my dogs for a whole week and they made sure that I had no reasons to worry while on vacation. I hope to be able to use them next time I have to leave town and I will definitely recommend to others.”

“What a great stay for my Sami. She fit in with the pack and the house was very dog-friendly. The hosts were conscious of Sami’s needs and adapted to her wanting to “cling” around people. Great stay!”

“Mary was the absolute best! My poor pup got 2 front paw injuries during our hike at the Appalachian trail. She came last minute to pick him up and care for him. She did such a great job that my pup came back very improved! I know he had a great time and is recommend for anyone and everyone to use Mary. She was so caring and sweet that I gave her hugs before leaving. Thank you Mary! You brought so much peace for me to complete my section hike of the trail!”

“We have utilized Rover four times over the last two years ... each time we have been disappointed. Until now. We booked with Stefani to watch our German Shepherd (who is 110% a people-dog) for 8 days. Stefani gave her so much one-on-one attention, long walks, unlimited play time, and all the things dogs love that she whined as we pulled away from her house! We received videos and texts every day with updates. Stefani will be our go-to dog sitter from now on! We almost did not book with her because we thought $55 was kind of high for dog sitting, but compared to the local kennels, the care and attention our dog received with Stefani was far superb than the top rated kennel in our area. She was worth every dime and we will absolutely recommend her and use her again!”

About: Being an animal lover all my years and having at times, two 90+ lb. furbabies of my own from puppy to senior age, I am experienced in dog care. You can rest assured no matter where you are, near or far, you can count on me providing a loving environment, whether in your home or mine. Your furbaby(ies) will get lots of love and attention. Whether you're here or traveling abroad your furbabies are safe and well provided for. Personally, knowing from experience how hard it is to leave a pet in kennel style boarding with barking dogs all day. I'm a stay at home family, looking forward to making extra money while having a nice time together in a kind and loving home. I like to abide by routines to make your pups stay a fun experience that they will look forward to a return stay. Currently, my home has one sweet female dog who is looking for someone to enjoy watching the birds with from out screen porch. Playing in the yard or taking walks for exercise.

“I was delighted with Mandy, I don't speak English very well but that was not inconvenient for her I was afraid of leaving my baby with someone outside of the family, but as soon as we arrived and I saw how kind she is and how happy she was, my Golden took away my fear, She always had communication with me, she sent me photos and video that made my trip not so painful for me. when I returned to look for my baby he was happy I know that they took good care of him and I appreciate it. he already has a place to go that they love him the same as at home”

“Fantastic experience! Communication prior to booking was phenomenal! We are planning a longer trip so I booked a test night to make sure everyone is happy and comfortable with everyone else. Again, communication prior to drop-off was excellent. When we arrived to drop-off Jane was very friendly and welcoming of the dogs. One dog was immediately comfortable, as is his usual. The other one that's sometimes unsure of new people was a tiny bit whiney but seemed to be comfortable enough to try it. I hung around town for a bit in case she didn't calm down and i needed to go back and get her. About 20 minutes later I got an update with pictures that showed they seemed to be very comfortable and chilling on the couch. Received a couple more updates with pictures throughout the night with updates about them eating good and relaxing on the couch. I picked them up in the morning and they were happy, healthy and tired from their play date with her absolutely adorable daughter. Highly recommend contacting Jane if youre looking for someone to care for your pets.”

“Jenny was great! She was so fast to respond when I checked on our dogs while we were away. She sent updates and photos. We would definitely recommend Jenny and her husband and we will absolutely use her again! She was wonderful.”

“Danita was excellent. I had never left this 1.5 year old dog with a sitter and Danita and her dogs made it so that my dog Meg, had a wonderful time. Danita was patient with me for contacting her so much and sent photos and updates frequently. I cant give her enough kudos for a job well done”

Joy A.

“Kelley was very patient and caring with my two cats. It was a long stay and they were very shy at the start. She kept them safe and took care of their needs. She gave good updates on their progress and eventually gained their trust for some good pictures and belly rubs. I would recommend Kelley for boarding your pets. She does a great job!”

Your pet will receive patient, individualized care, plenty of interaction, and a safe, loving place to feel at home while you’re away. Pet care is woven into my daily routine. Between homeschooling our daughter and managing our home and all the projects of our Farm, caring for animals through feeding, walks, training, playtime, and supervision is a consistent, intentional part of every day! I care for pets in our home as if they are part of our family. They receive a safe, calm environment with structured routines that include feeding, walks, playtime, rest, and one-on-one attention. I take time to understand each pet's personality, comfort level, and needs, whether that means active engagement, gentle training, or quiet companionship. Pets are closely supervised, shown patience and kindness, and given plenty of affection so they feel secure, respected, and at home while in my care.

“My experience with Amanda was outstanding! I was nervous about leaving my small older dog with someone new but the entire experience went very well. Amanda asked a lot of questions about him beforehand and kept in touch with pictures or information about how he was each day. I will definitely feel comfortable using Amanda each time we go away and hope she will be available.”
