Dog Boarding Stony Knoll

“Brianna is amazing! She was incredibly thoughtful with her updates and photos. We were never concerned for how our fur baby was doing - because we constantly knew he was having fun and well taken care of. Highly recommend.”

About: As a first responder, I’m very comfortable around K9s and understand the importance of patience, consistency, awareness, and responsible handling around animals. I also have two dogs of my own, Millie, a Vizsla, and Aksel, a German Shepherd. I’ve had Millie her entire life, and Aksel came to us as a rescue about a year ago. When we first brought Aksel home, he needed extra patience, structure, and training, and we’ve worked with him consistently to help him become the happy, well-tempered dog he is today. I genuinely love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, working with them, and helping them learn. I work as a first responder, so my schedule is different from a traditional Monday–Friday schedule. I have set days off that allow me to offer pet care, and I primarily schedule boarding on my days off so I can give your pet plenty of attention and supervision. I also offer dog walking and drop-in visits when my schedule allows. I keep my availability updated and am happy to communicate ahead of time to make sure your pet’s needs fit my schedule. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside for exercise and play. I have two dogs of my own, a Vizsla and a German Shepherd, who are part of my household. Before boarding, I’m happy to discuss your dog’s temperament, comfort level, and how they do around other dogs. I can use indoor movable pet gates/kennels to safely separate dogs when needed, whether for feeding, rest, or simply giving them their own space. I always prioritize safety and will follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding instructions, and any special care needs.

“Victoria has such a beautiful home. She also is a very warm and kind person. Our dog instantly took to her. We scheduled a sleepover so our dog can get to know her and her dog better before our big trip in a few weeks. It was a great experience. We picked up our dog and she was just so happy. When we left our dog at a kennel before this she did not look well when we picked her up. This was a total different experience, she had a lot of fun and was well taken care of. Victoria was great at sending me updates and a video. I think my dog misses her and her dog lol!!! I'm definitely going to feel better when I leave her for a week knowing she's in good hands. Thank you Victoria”

About: I have lived on a farm all of my life and started house sitting during middle and high school. I also have over 6 years of training experience. I have a short part time job that allows me to be home most of the day. Dogs have plenty of playtime outside as well as free time inside when earned. I live far from traffic. I have a fenced area and wide places to run. We have farm pastures that offer boundaries and if a dog has a good recall we can play in the front and side area.

“Nina was awesome!! She sent me pictures while I was on vacation and I knew my pups were very well taken care of! I would definitely recommend her!”

“Samantha and Tim are a blessing to our family!! We love dropping off Axel to a place he is loved well! Axel loves his time with them and is happy to see them each time. They send us pictures of his adventures while we are away. Their kids love Axel and that's precious to us since our kids love him as well. Definitely recommend them to friends!”

“Morgan truly cares about animals. She was communicative, thorough and honest. She sent pictures and updates the entirety of our vacation. I would recommend her services to anyone.”

“This was my first time using Rover and I will be using it again. Maribel was the perfect sitter for my sweet Annie. She is such a kind soul and sent me so many updates and pics of my sweet girl while I was out of town on business. Great communication and I could tell my pooch was very comfortable and happy with Maribel and her pooch Molly. Will definitely book again”

“Kelsey took great care of Murphy & I especially appreciated her flexibility to keep him an extra night when my flight landed in Raleigh instead of Roanoke. I enthusiastically recommend her.”

About: I have had poodles, labs, chows, eight Great Danes. I take care of of my nieces three dogs when she is out of town. During Christmas Hoilday the out of town guest just bring their dogs, 4 acre lot. Involuntarily retired, I spend my days piddling on projects around the house and working on excessively old cars. Dogs have always liked me and I have always liked dogs. Dogs get feed twice a day. I have an invisible fence system. Giving pills during meal time is not an issue. I do have creates. I generally do not give treats.

About: My family had two aging beagles I helped care for that eventually passed away. They both required much attention and medication. Any time my family members or friends need someone to watch their dog, they ask me. I have experience working with smaller sized dogs and much bigger dogs. I have also worked at a humane society. I just graduated from grad school so I will have plenty of time to care for your fur babies and will make sure they are happy and healthy! I will make sure they go to the bathroom regularly, make sure they get plenty of exercise/walks, make sure they are well fed, and make sure they are overall safe and comfortable. It is my job to make sure your fur baby is happy! If using boarding services, my apartment complex is very pet friendly and has a great dog park!

“I can not say enough to convey how amazing Simone was with my fur babies! You can't deny her love of dogs because it shows. She was kind and loving and very attentive to them. I left them with total place of mind know they would be taking good care of and very loved. Thank you so much Simone!!!”

Karen W.

“I can’t recommend Natalie enough! They took such great care of Shiro and were incredibly accommodating, even with my last-minute request. It’s clear how much Shiro enjoys his time there, he gets so excited when we arrive and even pulls me toward the door as soon as I park the car! It gives me real peace of mind knowing he’s in such loving and capable hands. Thank you for always treating him like one of your own!”

“Awesome sitter! Sharonda and her dog were very friendly and inviting from beginning to the end. She checked in frequently regarding Benji and sent pics while I was away. I would definitely recommend her for your pet care needs!”

“We had such a wonderful experience with Kalyn! She was incredibly friendly, positive, and welcoming from the start. She asked thoughtful questions to get to know our dog and make sure she felt comfortable during her stay. We received plenty of updates, which gave us such peace of mind! She was also very flexible and accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times. Her joyful personality and genuine love for dogs really shine through. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 10/10 would absolutely recommend Kalyn and will definitely book with her again!”

“Xariyah blew me away!!! I was so nervous about leaving my baby because I just moved here and he's used to only my family watching him, but I had no other option than to find him a sitter. Xariyah will be his family from now on though because we will definitely be a regular! She treated my baby as if he was her own and he had such an amazing time with her and her kitty. She sent me constant updates and pictures and reassured me after he had a rough first day with anxiety away from me and he was back to his normal self by the next day. I'm beyond happy that I chose her and will definitely be using her again! ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much Xariyah!”

About: Hi! I’m Jennifer, a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of my 5-year-old pup, Scooby. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I truly believe pets are family and deserve love, patience, and attention just like any other family member. I also had the privilege of caring for another dog for 12 wonderful years before she sadly passed away from cancer, which gave me experience with dogs through all stages of life and taught me how important compassionate care is. I’m currently a teacher assistant so during the Holidays, weekends and out of school for the summer I’ll be available any time. So I can make sure I give lots of love and attention to your love ones. I live in a safe, pet-friendly apartment complex with two gentle young children under 7 who have grown up around dogs and love animals. Your pet will be welcomed into a warm, caring environment where they’ll receive plenty of affection, playtime, and attention while you’re away. Whether your dog loves cuddles, walks, playtime, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and treated like part of the family.
