Dog Boarding Willits-Ochre Hill

“James was very flexible with drop off and pickup times, and communication was very good. My dogs really enjoyed their stay. It gave them the opportunity to be around his kids and dogs ….. that kind of exposure for them was good. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs there will contact them again when needed.”

“Nancy is a wonderful pet sitter. She is easy to communicate with, knowledgeable, and kind. During my dog’s stay I received sweet photos with updates. My girl became fast friends with Nancy’s dog Chico and was happy when I picked her up. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care.”

“Here’s a polished, enthusiastic review you can post: I cannot recommend Autumn enough! She took care of my six month old puppy, Miley, for about a week, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Miley is incredibly energetic and can definitely be a handful, but Autumn went above and beyond to make sure she stayed active, entertained, and well cared for every single day. One of the things I appreciated most was how communicative she was. Being away from my puppy is always stressful, but Autumn made it so much easier by sending me around three updates every day, each with pictures and details about how Miley was doing. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Miley was happy, safe, and having so much fun. When I picked Miley up, she was healthy, happy, and clearly well-loved. It was obvious that Autumn treated her like one of her own. Finding someone you can fully trust with your dog is rare, and I’m so grateful I found her. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, caring, attentive, and genuinely loves animals, Autumn is the one. I would absolutely book with her again and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. Thank you, Autumn, for taking such amazing care of my girl!”

“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!”

“Scott took great care of Cheyenne and gave her extra love during thunderstorms. He has a beautiful property and Cheyenne had a great time playing with his pups.”

“Dropped our dog off for a few days to stay with Stephanie. Very easy to communicate with her and accommodating with our schedule. Will definitely use her again!”

“Ollie had the best time with Carrie and her 2 pups! Her yard was great for them to play and I felt super comfortable leaving him with her for the night. She was excellent at communicating and I will absolutely use her again!!”

Gabriella L.

“Kathleen was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Remy! From the moment we connected, she was attentive, patient, caring, and kind. She kept in touch with us daily, sending sweet updates and adorable pictures that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Remy was happy, healthy, and in loving hands. Kathleen went above and beyond by meeting me at a convenient halfway point between our homes, making the entire process so easy and stress-free. She was a delight to work with—professional, thoughtful, and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. We will absolutely be using her again, without question. Highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!”

“Brandi is amazing! She did great with our fur babies and making sure they had a great time. I really appreciated all the pictures she sent and all the updates! Definitely will be booking with her again! ?”

Victoria G.

“Lizzie was super responsive and gave us updates frequently! She has a huge yard for the dogs to sniff around in and gives them walks that they are used to! I felt good with Frankie being at Lizzie’s while we were on vacation and will definitely book with Lizzie again when needed! Thanks so much Lizzie!”

About: I love all animals and taking care of them is a dream job. I live in the Franklin NC area year around. I was raised with Boxers and have been a dog momma for 10 rescues. I have an open schedule however I have a wedding in June and a cruise in August. I am flexible and can be on call if necessary. My pets are inside animals. I have 8 acres with a fenced area and 2 friendly labs. I never allow my dogs off leash unless they are in the fenced area. My dogs are never left unattended outside the home. My cat is an indoor cat.

“We had a last minute boarding request and Molly was there to our rescue. Our Lab puppies loved running and playing in her huge fenced yard. Molly's two dogs accepted them into their pack in seconds and the fun zoomies began. We received several great pictures throughout their stay and could tell our pups were in good hands.”

About: Hey, I’m Zachary! I’m the guy who ends up hanging out with the dog at someone else’s house. I know leaving your dog with someone takes trust, and I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re getting plenty of attention and being well cared for. Tell me their routine, their favorite things, and any little habits I should know about—I’m happy to keep things how they’re used to. Whether they love long walks, playing fetch, or just having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel at home. And I’ll send pictures along the way, because I know you’re going to miss them. When I take a booking, I make sure I have time for the care and attention your dog needs. We’ll go over their usual schedule beforehand so meals, walks, and potty breaks stay as close to their normal routine as possible. I want you to feel comfortable leaving your dog with me, so I’ll ask about their habits, any special needs, and what helps them settle in. I’ll follow your instructions, respect your home, and send photos and updates so you’re never left wondering how they’re doing.

About: I have been a pet lover my entire life. I was raised in a home where we had Ferrets, Hamsters, a Pet Skunk, a Squirrel named Boomer, as well as Dogs and Cats ... I am very loving and warm to animals and think that animals are more than pets ..they are family members. I have always been a fur mom and would be honored to help you provide the care you would want for your fur baby. Your fur baby will be cuddled, scratched, played with, and loved as if they were my own in your absence. I service Transylvania County, Jackson County and Macon County including Lake Toxaway as well as the Highlands-Cashiers area. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I am prompt and dependable and will not disappoint you or your pet. Your pets health and well being is of upmost importance to me and I will care for them as if they were my own. I am available to house sit in your home while you are away so they may stay on their normal routine. I have outstanding reviews and can provide additional references as well if needed. I water plants, can care for “off season” homes and ensure your home is safe and secure while you are away.

About: Hey there!! I've been around pets my whole life and absolutely LOVE them. We had a dog (dachshund) growing up as well as other animals like Rabbits and Guinea Pigs! I've had cats and dogs throughout my life as well. My bestie dog was named Sadie (corgi/husky mix) who was 17 when I had to let her go to the rainbow bridge March 2021...it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do 💔 I had her since she was about 1 yr old. She had a pacemaker put in about 2 yrs prior to passing and had a great life but I miss her like crazy. I've been Petsitting a long time but since Sadie passed, it's really helped heal my heart and has truly been a blessing. Most of my clients are from word of mouth over the years but I have this to help others get in touch with me if they need some help! I live in Lake Toxaway but I have jobs anywhere from Highlands, Cashiers, Sapphire, Lake Toxaway to Brevard. I mostly stay at my client's homes but I do bring some dogs to my house if it ends up being a better option. I also do drop-ins and daycare as well. I've done puppy care and senior care as too so that doesn't phase me. I also can do medication or treatments needed. If I'm booked up for in home pet care then I can do drop ins 2x a day for cats 🐱 I can possibly offer that for dogs too but they usually need it 3x a day. So that would all depend on my availability. I work part time caretaking properties/cleaning, and childcare so I'm mostly home! When I do need to leave I'm not gone more then 3-6 hrs, depending on the job. I can travel further if I can move jobs around in my area. I'm very flexible and try to make things work if I can! I currently don’t have a fenced in yard but I will walk around my neighborhood and have a decent sized backyard. I treat your babies like they're my own so they get lots of lovin. Sometimes we go to the State Park too! If they like car rides I'll take them to check my mail or little errands.
