Dog Sitters in Belville

First time here… Brought our dog for a grooming & they were so fast- only approx 2 hrs until they called to pick her up. She was beautifully groomed in a doggy crate with a little sunflower bandana on waiting… She was so clean & pretty & they gave us a report on how she did…. I will return & also utilize them for their great puppy daycare & overnight care… New to the area & so happy we found them!

Communication was professional, friendly, and informative from over the phone to in-person. First day of daycare was free to see how well he would do during boarding for 2 nights. Was also able to check on him using their live web camera. Staff gave us updates when he was picked up and can’t wait for him to be boarded again. After his first day and time boarding, he was tired. He loved it and the staff loved him too! (We provided food for our boy, blanket, and his favorite toy). Photo used is from Leland pet resort for his profile. Too cute 🐾

When i picked up Mira at the end of the day she looked so happy. She had so much fun she didn’t want to leave! And the staff is tremendous! They loved my babydog! 💕 …

I live bringing my Chihuahua here for grooming. The staff is so friendly they all know his name, and when he comes out, he looks beautiful nails done perfectly clean as a whistle. I would recommend Leyland pet resort to anyone who’s looking for a groomer as well as boarding.

I was very nervous to leave my girls (my kitties) because it was their first time boarding. I was that mom who called everyday to check up on them. But they gladly told me how they are doing and told me that I can keep calling to check up on them. My girls were well cared for and got pawmail to see photos. It was a great experience for all around.

I have been using Leland Pet Resort for over four years! My pets have been loving it! Recently, I had to have a last minute surgery, and Miss Dawn took care of me and managed to get my Teddy in for boarding! She took care of everything! A wonderful place for your pet with a truly knowledgeable, and professional staff! 100 stars!!!

They are great. Grooming department does the best job giving my dog a bath. She is so clean and soft after they bathe her. Everyone is extremely considerate and loving to all the animals. So glad this place exists right here in Leland.

Such love is shown by the staff at Leland Pet Resort to my Jack. He is an older dog, a 13-year old Cocker Spaniel with health issues. The only reason I did not give a 5- star rating this time is because Jack is to always get one-on-one play time. Yet, this was overlooked on his instructions. Thankfully, a staff member saw the error and corrected it a few times. (I was not charged for these, either.) The staff member was very apologetic. I will close be saying that I would recommend Leland Pet Resort to others. Jack has stayed there a number of times. One mistake is not going to change my mind. This is a caring loving staff and I feel confident in the care and attention Jack receives.

Welcoming! As a first time customer the service and setting up account was easy and efficient! More importantly my dog Gruffin left happy as a refreshed pretty boy! We will be back!

Leland Pet Resort is the best. Our puppy Leo gets so excited when we are just in the parking lot before we enters the building. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

Awesome! My boy Bram loves it there and has such a good time. Highly recommend!!! He only has kitty siblings so it's nice to get him there where he can let some energy out.

Max is a 78lb Goldendoodle who loves visiting his friends at Magnolia! The staff and service is top notch and the facility is second do none. I highly recommend using them the next time your four legged best friend needs a place to stay!

My dog loves this place. The manager and co manager do a fantastic job always a wait list for holidays and etc but they really care about dogs been in leland nc for awhile now 😉 …

Only great things to say! MB&B accommodated our last minute booking for our tiny puppy. We had access to the cameras while she stayed, and they quickly responded to our texts checking in on her! When we picked her up, she seemed calm and happy and showed no signs that she was stressed at all over the weekend. She was CLEAN which was a huge relief based on past experiences with other facilities.. and her items were all taken care of and clean as well.

My doggie loves it here! The staff is great and it's very nice to be able to see my pup all day on the cameras! Recommend!!!

My dogs have been staying here for a decade. They cannot contain their excitement as soon as we get near the building. They are always happy and well-cared for when we pick them up. The staff knows ours dogs well, including what they like, etc. The staff are very accommodating and flexible.

My dog is in love with his day camp and overnight experiences at Magnolias! The second we cross the Isabel Holmes Bridge from Wilmington to Leland his excitement starts bc he knows we only go this way for one reason…camp! He sometimes doesn’t want to leave camp which I associate with the absolute best day of his life. The people who work here genuinely care about your dog and their happiness. Thankful to have a place I can trust and that my dog absolutely loves! Always willing to drive an hour roundtrip for this❤️

Our dog Jay has been boarded here a few times and he loves it. The daytime play days he has are fun for him too.

This place is great. our dogs have stayed here several times and they've always been well taken care of. We trust them so much that we travel to Europe and board our dogs here. We are able to watch our dogs on camera which gives us great peace of mind. The dogs get plenty of exercise and if they stay for 5 days they get a free bath. Definitely recommended.

Extremely pleasant staff. My older dog can take a while to warm up to other animals but staff was present during entire playtime and I was able to watch on webcams while halfway across country. Our stay included a complimentary bath too. My dog was happy and quite a tired pooch from her playtime. Quality and rates are great! Will use services again.

Gatsby loves his play time at The Dog Play Spot! When he comes home he’s tired and ready for a nap. We’ve had him fully groomed and recently just a bath and nail trim. The services are easy to add through the online request process. The staff are all professional and approachable. They even give updates on how he behaves through the day when asked. Recommend giving them a try. Next up for us is to try an overnight group boarding.

We have been taking our 2 year old Australian shepherd, Izzy, here for about a year and a half. The first few times she went she did not want to go. They would tell me she paid more attention to the humans than the dogs. She would stay by the doors trying to get out and walk the fence line looking for ways to escape. I asked if I should keep bringing her or just keep her at home. I didn’t want to stress her out. She’s a pretty anxious dog and definitely has separation anxiety so I wasn’t sure if daycare was right for her. One of the girls told me give it a few days and after 4 or 5 times we would know if she was going to calm down and enjoy day care or if she was going to be anxious every time she was there. On the 4th or 5th time there i had decided that this was the last day I was bringing her here. I felt too bad bringing her somewhere she didn’t want to b. I didn’t like that she wasn’t having a good time. That day I went to pick her up and they told me SHE HAD SO MUCH FUN TODAY!!! she had played with other dogs and even made a bestie for the day. The staff was so proud of her and so was I. Since that day Izzy LOVES going to daycare. When I tell her we are going she gets so excited. When we get there I cannot open the door fast enough for her! The staff here is kind and caring and you can see they love their jobs here and have fun being here. I love that they have cameras so I can check on her at any time and see what she’s up to. And although we have never had to board her I think it’s amazing that they have people here 24/7 so the dogs that are boarded have someone there with them. I know Izzy loves the pool as she comes home wet many days. I love the different activities they have throughout the week for the dogs and also the different holiday events and artwork they do. Recently they had a Halloween party that included costumes and photos. Izzy has also come home with really cute art projects. Also every so often while she’s there I will get a text with a photo of what she’s up to right then. We are moving to Nashville soon and I just hope to find a place like this out there that Izzy loves just as much.

This place is awesome. My mom's dog loves it there, and they are very accommodating and know how to handle different types of dogs. Very friendly and always willing to help answer any questions. I have experience with doggy daycares and know a good one when I see it. When she adds a bath to his daycare, he always comes back soft, shiny and smelling great. He is always happy to leave her and run into the back with his friends. They have days that they do special activities or treats. They did a secret Santa for the dogs for Christmas. Very cute. Highly recommend

Our dog didn’t tell us much about her stay but our experience was good. The staff was welcoming and competent and they were able to accommodate our request for grooming services during our dog ‘s overnight boarding stay. The price seemed reasonable for day care, boarding and grooming. We’ll be back!

The Dog Spot is the best place for your little family dogs to stay. They took such great care of my little cookie. She was so tired when she got home from playing and having so much fun. The staff loves the animals and cares for them as if they were there own. I plan on taking cookie more often.

We’re SO glad we found The Dog Play Spot! Bailey loves to run with her buds and has made such good friends there. The staff loves having her and takes such good care of her! She comes home very tired and very happy. ☺️🐾 I love the camera access! …

We love having them take care of our boy! Their staff is fantastic! They offer so many great things other than just day daycare. Boarding, grooming, obedience classes. Photo opportunity throughout the year * some included. Sokka loves his days at “school”. He enjoys socializing with his friends. We are glad we found such a great place!

I take my girl to daycare while I’m at class! I LOVE watching her on the webcams🩷 she always looks like she is having such a good time and the staff has been so kind to her. It makes me feel so good to have peace of mine that she is having so much fun while I’m away. Thank you!!! - Mom & Stella …

Just started taking my puppy here for daycare. I love that they have the webcams so I can check on him, but was also excited when they texted me a picture of him playing in the pool! He also got groomed for the first time and smells and looks great. Love it here so far!

I must say I’m impressed! The appointment surpassed my expectations, I will certainly revisit time and time again! 12-26-24 Tried the Cage Free boarding this time and it was just as extraordinary as my first visit! I highly recommend!

Pawville has been an absolute saving grace for our family! We started taking our dog here three times a week and during our vacations when he was just a puppy, and it has been the best decision we've ever made for his care. From day one, the staff at Pawville have been nothing short of amazing with our dog. They are incredibly attentive, genuinely care about each pet, and go above and beyond to ensure our pup is happy and comfortable. Every time we drop him off, he practically leaps out of the car with excitement, tail wagging furiously. It's such a relief to know he's in such good hands. The facility itself is clean, well-maintained, and has plenty of space for the dogs to play and socialize. Our dog comes home not only extremely happy but also wonderfully exhausted from all the fun he's had. It's clear that he loves his time at Pawville, and we couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you, Pawville, for being our pup's home away from home and for providing such exceptional care. We couldn't recommend you more highly!

We have been very pleased with the North Chase Pawville. Daphne loves going! I love the pictures and report card we get after every stay. We are currently taking her a couple of days a week. This location is currently under construction and I can’t wait to see when it’s completed.

They were so good to my baby boy! They sent pictures with his report card, were very sweet and accommodating to my nervous pup as well! The facility was clean, and well kept, and all staff were extremely friendly! Attached is a picture they caught of my pup!

I have been taking my dog Bean to Midtown Pawville since last September, a month after we rescued her. I was going across the country for a week so I was definitely nervous to board my dog. I was pleasantly surprised to find a report card in my messages! They send report cards daily. I had no idea they did this at the time and it made me so happy to see my dog was having a great time. I have never written a review before, not something I really think to do or want spend my time doing. I had to make an exception for pawville. Pawville has been a second home for my dog. SHE LOVES IT. Bean is a very high energy dog. It really means a lot that they get to know your dogs personality and put them with other dogs that matches their energy. The staff really go above and beyond for the dogs. What made me love this place even more is that they remember your dogs and get excited when they come back. The report cards are so personal and I have seen how much they love and care for my dog. They also run a very good business and are very professional, accommodating and responsive. They are also very on top of making sure your dog is up to date with vaccines, which I really appreciate. They really think of everything to make your dog happy. Its almost like your dogs are staying at a resort/spa lol. This is my FAVORITE place to board my dog in Wilmington. If you are looking for a place that takes good care of your animal AND a place that your animal will love I HIGHLY recommend Pawville :)

This is the best doggie daycare I've taken my dog to in Wilmington, NC. The staff are really friendly and the facility is really nice. My pup comes home happy and is so excited when I drop him off there. They send a nice report card at the end of the day with pics of my pup and how he did. They have all sorts of options for boarding as well.

We are super happy with this place! We’ve never boarded our dogs before but we got pictures and updates every day. Gave us a huge peace of mind.

Can't thank you enough Midtown Pawville! We needed to see a doctor quickly for our dog. They got us in right away and took such great care of us. Also, I called a few times with questions and everyone was so patient and kind. THANK YOU!

Finding a perfect daycare center for Boomer (my dog), where he could receive not only top-notch care but also love and understanding, seemed like a daunting task until we discovered Midtown Pawville. From our very first visit, the distinction was clear. The team at Midtown Pawville didn't just welcome us; they embraced Boomer with such warmth and enthusiasm, it was as if they were reuniting with an old friend. At Midtown Pawville, it's evident that the staff are not just employees; they are genuine animal lovers. Their dedication to ensuring each pet feels at home. Boomer, who can be a bit hyperactive in new environments, adapted quickly, thanks to their attentive and compassionate approach. This level of care has solidified my trust in their services, a sentiment not easily granted. What sets Midtown Pawville apart is their commitment to understanding the unique personalities and needs of the pets in their care. They've taken the time to get to know Boomer, tailoring their care to suit his preferences and ensuring he's always comfortable, happy, and engaged. This personalized attention is a testament to their professionalism and love for animals.

Precious gets such great care and attention from staff. It is genuine care. The staff works extremely well together, one can see they love their career. Thank you. Precious plays with dogs that share her high activity level. Their boarding facility is tops. Establishment is super clean and free of any odors. High end treats and toys available in lobby. I trust Citrus Pawville with caring for my best friend.

Was pleasantly surprised how great this facility is, clean and neat, personnel is friendly yet professional, my dog develops resource guarding when I am gone ,so he guards his cage, this place works best because doggy dog is open and he can go potty and walk outside if he wants to, and best thing I can check on him on web camera ! Peace of mind for me,definitely will be boarding Bubbles here again !

Absolutely wonderful experience with Pawsatively Golden Pet Care! When we met Katy for the consultation, we could tell she was a pro and had a genuine concern for our dog's well-being. She meticulously followed our dog's routines and provided daily updates with photos. Our dog was happy and well-cared for while we were away. I highly recommend Pawsatively Golden for anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Will definitely book again!

Pawsatively Golden Pet Care is an amazing pet service! Our dog, Mac, has epilepsy and requires constant supervision. Not only were they knowledgeable, they were also very understanding to his needs. Crystal and her team SPOILS him. Your pet would be lucky to have them!

We had a great experience with MaKayla and Nikki taking care of our three cats! Our cats are super spoiled and get wet food three times a day (plus they are used to my husband working from home - which is also why we can normally feed them during the day with no problems). When we go out of town, we feel bad about how much it disrupts their schedule, especially our older 14 year old girl. Both Nikki and MaKayla gave super thorough updates for each visit with tons of pictures and info about all three of them. Crystal, the owner, was really helpful when we had questions about charges and pricing. Everyone seemed professional at every step! It's the best pet sitting service we've found in Wilmington, and we've tried more than a few. We have already reached out about our next plans to get on their schedule. We will definitely use them again!

We had a great first experience! From start to finish they were thorough and detailed. They came for a meet and greet where we were able to explain everything and ask questions without feeling rushed! Our dog has epilepsy and this has been the first time since it started we feel like we can relax while going on vacation. They sent frequent communication and sent a pic and message each time they gave him his meds so we could be assured he’d received it on time. We came home to a happy and healthy dog and a clean house! We have already booked them for a weekend trip and the holidays coming up.

Crystal and her whole team at Pawsitively Golden have been an absolute home run. They have been 100% reliable and flexible with our changing schedule and last minute needs. They take great care of our dog and give regular updates. She met with us to talk about our needs and wants for drop inns. She knows our dog’s commands and holds her to the same standards and expectations we do. I definitely recommend Pawsitively Golden, 10 out 10!

I came up from Florida for my son’s wedding and was staying in an AIRBNB, so I needed a pet sitter. I got the Royal package and it was worth it. Katy was amazing and I didn’t worry one time about our babies! Crystal the owner is easy to work with and I’m so thankful that I had them! I highly recommend them!

My pets mean the world to me and I wouldn't trust just anyone with the care of my babies. Crystal and her team has helped care for my little zoo for a few years - including exotic, fish, and reptile care! They've cared for my Great Dane, chinchilla, koi pond and bearded dragon. We recently got a new puppy too who I can't wait for the team at Pawsatively Golden to meet!

Crystal and her entire team have been absolutely wonderful. You can tell this company has a heart for animals, they are willing to work with dogs’ varying personalities to make sure everyone is happy. This was our first time going through a service like this and we could not be happier with our experience. Highly recommend.

I inquired about pet care during Christmas but they were booked up! However, I’ve been keeping up with them and I’m very impressed with the education they provide to the community and their clients! I would definitely trust my fur babies in their care!

My wife and I have just returned from a two week trip to the UK and are so lucky to have left our dog and two cats in the care of Pawsatively Golden Pet Care. We don’t like to board our pets so having PGPC come to our house twice a day has been ideal. We couldn’t have asked for better care to be taken of our pets. We received twice daily reports of the visits (as well as photographs) which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. PGPC went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, taking the trash out and leaving the house exactly as we left it. Our pets seem better behaved than when we left! I cannot thank the PGPC team enough and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for professional pet care.

Alexis watched our 3 month old golden retriever puppy for a long weekend along with my boyfriends families cat and 1 year old golden retriever! She was so communicative and made us feel super comfortable leaving the pets in great hands. She also offered us a ton of tips that we still utilize today - she’s super knowledgeable and sweet! Highly recommend for any pet care needs!!

Alexis stayed at my house for a weekend to watch my sweet pup Miller while I was out of town. She did an incredible job & I could not be more pleased! She texted throughout the day(s) to update on how Miller was doing & shared lots of photos! She is very kind & goes above any beyond - she washed the bedding, brought my mail in, and took the trash out. She even left us flowers! Miller was very happy & relaxed upon my return! Will definitely be working with Alexis again :)

Alexis is THE BEST!!! There’s very few people we trust to watch our “baby” Loki, our 3-year-old German Shepard. We can always count on Alexis to give us complete peace of mind when we travel. She most recently watched him while we were away for a full week on our honeymoon, and getting pictures and knowing she was spoiling him just as we would while we were away allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. She will take amazing care of your animal, home, and even left us flowers to come home to! Thank you, Alexis!!

Alexis managed our animals and home over a three week period. She paid attention to every detail for each animal and the patio plants. Alexis sent pictures daily to assure us of the animal’s welfare. We cannot recommend her any more highly! She is a true professional. Kim and Steve Pressler

I was traveling to Wilmington for work and needed a dog sitter. Alexis was amazing. She came to my hotel room and took such good care of my pup while I was at work. I loved all the update photos she sent. Will definitely use again whenever I'm in town.

Alexis kept our Jack Russell, Max, for our week out of town and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was so quick to answer my text, FaceTime anytime I asked, and spoiled our baby like he was her own. There are not many people I would trust to come into our home and keep Max but we are so thankful for Alexis and cannot wait to have her again.

I give Alexis and Happy Tails Pet Sitting Service five full blown stars! I have used this service twice thus far, and it is indeed the best pet sitting service in Wilmington area. Alexis spoils my dogs rotten with all of the love and attention she gives them. She also treats my home like her own with respect and tidiness. She gives you peace of mind with plenty of pictures and videos of her time spent with your pets. I will definitely be using Alexis and Happy Tails Pet Sitting Service again in the near future! Thank you Alexis! I posted a pic of Alexis kissing one of my pups.

Alexis was an incredible dog sitter! Our dog Bella was the happiest that I have ever seen her when we returned. She sent us pictures of Bella relaxing at home and out on walks. I was amazed and so very pleased with how much time that Alexis spent with Bella. Alexis is a caring and loving person which definitely comes through in her dog sitting activities!!!!!

Alexis cares so much about her charges, and is especially good for those pets who need a little extra TLC. She is totally professional, and nothing- not holidays, not Covid- gets in the way of taking care of the pets. Her online communications platform is superb for keeping in touch, no matter where you are traveling. Alexis commits all the way, is completely reliable, and is particularly good at improvising to meet the needs of the pet(s). For example, our pets arrived just before we had to travel. It turned out that we were not well set up for their care and feeding, and Alexis had both the initiative and expertise to source the things we needed- ones that we are still using and appreciate. Her experience with high-need pets really showed, as she had the patience, perseverance and experience to help our pets with some major adjustments. We came home to pets who were in better shape than we left them!

We had Alexis stay in our home, and pet sit our little dog Pinot for 5 days..Alexis was Amazing… She took wonderful care of our Home & Pinot. Alexis sent pictures & updates daily.. We felt relaxed knowing everything was in such good hands!! Pinot absolutely loves her, we can’t wait to use her service again soon!! I even came home to a Beautiful card & flowers!!! Thank You So Much Alexis!! ❤️ Could not be happier ~ Highly Recommend!!!

Amber made our recent trip out of town so much more enjoyable as we knew our senior pup was in good hands! Amber sent timely updates and plenty of photos. Lola & Company will be our go to per care service for all future travel!

So happy to have found Amber at Lola and company. She is definitely an animal lover. I have dogs and cats and she’s great with both. My one dog is grumpy with people and usually likes no one but really warmed up to her. We felt completely at ease while away knowing Amber was taking such good care of our animals. We loved receiving updates with pictures of our pets. Highly recommend.

It took me almost 9 years of no vacations and running home during lunch breaks before I finally broke down and gave Amber a call. I have trust issues, especially when it comes to my dogs! Since then, Amber has been coming by everyday to check on my Butters 🐾🩵. Although timid and shy at first, he is now warming up to her and I feel less stressed and guilty about caring for him. I am so lucky to have found Amber and would highly recommend her.

Lola & Company (Amber) has been pet sitting for us since we adopted Bentley almost 3 years ago. She takes such good care of our fur baby! We are confident that she loves him like we do which means we can rest assured he is in good care when we are away. As a pet owner, that is the peace you need so you can enjoy your vacation even when your fur baby cannot go with you. The reports and pictures she provides to summarize her visit are a great way to know how Bentley is doing and assure us that he is enjoying time with Amber.

Our experience with Lola & Company for cat sitting was fantastic! Amber is professional, reliable, caring and kind - definitely an animal lover. We were away for about 10 days and returned to find our cat Joey to be very healthy, happy and well-adjusted. We appreciated the pics from each visit!

Amber is amazing!! Our cat is usually very shy around strangers but he loves her!! She always provides great updates with a report of how the visit went. It is so nice having the peace of mind while we are away that our boy is in good hands! And she always provides the cutest pictures too! Highly recommend!

Amber provided outstanding service and went above and beyond to reassure us that our cats were being well cared for. Excellent communication throughout and a very well run system.

Highly recommend!! Amber is so nice & very communicative. She provided updates and photos everyday while I was away. My cats love her & we will definitely use her pet sitting services again in the future.

Kris and I whole-heartedly recommend Amber for pet sitting! She is the best of the best in Wilmington. Our dog, Bear, used to be nervous when we'd leave town. Now that he knows Amber takes care of him when we travel, he's relaxed when we leave and relaxed when we get home. This alone says so much about Amber and how much TLC she shows the animals in her care. The app used for scheduling, payment, and updates is easy to use and keeps everything well organized on both ends. Amber updates with photos included at every visit. And best of all, she offers over-night pet sitting. You can't get any better than that! Two thumbs up and five stars!

Amber was absolutely amazing. She accommodated all of our needs for our dogs. She was very friendly and even took the time to get one of our dogs who takes a minute to get used to new people extra love and time. She gave them treats and took them for walks. Amber even turned the TV on so they had some background music to listen too since it was dark. Thank you so much for taking care of our pups for our wedding day! 🙂🙂🙂

Amanda replied promptly when I reached out. She is professional, her price is fair and most of all she is kind. She treated me with respect and more importantly my standard poodle Rudy was kindly received and was at ease staying with Amanda for his first grooming experience! I’ve received multiple compliments on his cut as well! Thumbs up for Amanda and thank you!

Amanda did such an amazing job cutting my Yorkies. One of my dogs had only been to a groomer once, so i was worried about how she would do. They both were so stress free when i picked them up. It was the first time my boy dog did not throw up coming from the groomers. I was very pleased with my dogs appearance and how stress free it was for them and me.

Wonderful Experience!! I called right before closing for a last minute full grooming for my wired haired terrier mix and was able to be seen the next day. He looks absolutely Handsome. I Will be happy to see her again with my other pups as well. Oh and my timid pup was happy with her from the start(hard to get away with)lol☺️. Thanks Amanda , see ya soon❤️

We just moved to the area and were desperate to have our Havanese groomed. Amanda had been away but went above and beyond to squeeze us in before thanksgiving. She did a great job, he looks and smells great. Highly recommend

Amanda does an amazing job with all three of my small dogs. They look perfect after each cut and the prices are extremely fair. She is the only groomer my dogs will be seeing. If you haven’t experienced her services you must give her a shot!

I took my 4 mth old poodle to Petsmart 2 times to. Get her cut and groomed. They told me there was no way they could cut her the way I wanted her cut. Said they can't do that until they are 6 to 8 mths of age. I looked for a groomer near me and found Amanda. She made a appt for 2 days after we talked. She met me at my truck. I told her what I wanted. And said it would be about 90 min. She sent me pics of my fur baby 2 or 3 different times during the grooming. When I picked up my poodle. I was beyond happy. She did exactly what I asked within the time frame she said (not 4 hours like Petsmart). And the price perfect. She is so sweet and very very professional. I will take my puppy to her every time from now on. We are. Customers for life. I highly recommend her to any body that needs their fur baby groomed by a responsible, professional absolutely sweet person. Thank you so much Amanda

I found Amanda on a FB locals page, She’s has a sweet manor and plenty of experience so I trusted her completely with both my babies, I’m so happy with her work, my dogs were happy and not stressed out when I picked them up.Her prices are fair and in the industry’s range. There are beautiful horses and friendly cats to enjoy while you wait for her to bring your dog out, All around I had a great experience with Amanda and I highly recommend 🥰🐩

Amanda is excellent.She washed and trimmed my baby boys nails and he hates letting anyone do that. He loves Amanda and he came right up to her ! She is very kind and took her time to make Sig feel welcome !

Amanda Jean is genuinely a very nice person but didn’t come close to what we asked her to do with our instructions. One of my dogs was hacked so much, I didn’t recognize her when I picked her up. Extremely dissatisfied, definitely won’t return.

Has done my poodle sence she was a puppy and price is awesome. Amanda is a excellent person with animals, only one who my dog trust.

⚠️ BEWARE ⚠️ DO NOT SEND YOUR DOG HERE! Update 08/22/2024: Both of my dogs now have Giardia and it is highly likely that they contracted it here as they boarded for a week and that is the only place they'd been before showing symptoms. I have emailed Scott and corporate with no response on this issue from either party. Keep your puppies safe, stay far away. ________________ My dogs unfortunately boarded with Hounds Town Wilmington for a week, and they were returned to me in a shockingly disgusting state. Both dogs were covered head to toe in urine. Their fur was a slimy mess, and the urine odor was incredibly strong. One of my dogs was so matted that I had to have her shaved at the groomer. According to Scott, they keep their playrooms and townhomes “as clean as humanly possible,” but “when you have multiple high-energy dogs playing in a room together, it is impossible for them not to get dirty.” He would like you to believe that this is nothing but the result of normal dog play, which is actually insane, considering they were covered in urine, not just dirt. I understand that dogs play rough and will get dirty, but this level of filth is ridiculous. I was not expecting a squeaky clean dog, but I was definitely not expecting a dog that looked like they had been left out on the street. On top of this, my dogs became ill very shortly after their stay. Considering they had only been at Hounds Town before they began to show symptoms and were returned to me in the condition they were in, one can only assume they picked up something there. It is truly unfathomable what you are paying for with this facility. Your dog is essentially placed in an empty room with nothing but a cot and a water bowl—no toys or play equipment. They are left to roll around in urine and probably feces with several other dogs. Scott says that they are not sitting in urine all day, but he also told me that when he enters the room to film the dogs, sometimes they’re jumping in pee that they hadn’t had the chance to pick up yet, so I wouldn’t be too sure. Another excuse was that sometimes there are just too many dogs, making it humanly impossible to keep up with picking up after them quickly. If that is the case, then maybe the procedures need to be evaluated. I am not only displeased with the service I received but also with the lack of concern from Scott. He did not seem at all surprised by the fact that they were covered in urine; he was more upset that they hadn’t been given a bath to “1) wow you with service and 2) avoid just this kind of situation”—aka, hide the fact that they had been covered in pee all week and that their facility is disgusting. Ultimately, my grooming bill was covered, but my request for a partial refund in addition to covering the grooming costs was denied because apparently "they had the best of care". If you want a filthy dog, lots of stress, and extra bills to clean up the mess this place causes, then this is the perfect fit. I never leave reviews, especially not negative ones like this, but the service—or lack thereof—that I received is unacceptable. If I could leave -5 stars I would.

We had our temperment test the other day and they handled him better than other places. My pup acts like cujo when you first meet and it takes time for him to warm up..they gave him the space he needed and patience…when I picked him up he seems really happy and not stressed! (Other places he seemed a little stressed on pickup) He is now there boarding for 5 days…so I’ll review after…but so far no phone calls (which no news is good news) I’m hoping this works out long term because he loves playing there and I think the staff has been really good with him!

Hounds town is awesome ! It was my first experience recently . I was so nervous as a first time dog owner taking my pup to daycare / evaluation . The owner was so knowledgeable and helpful and explained everything thoroughly. I like that they let them play all day as opposed to only a few hours . I also got her a bath .. she was so soft and smelled great . Will definitely be going back

We adopted Cash a couple of weeks ago, and love the program that Hounds town has with the new Hanover sheriffs animal control. It seems he had a blast today at Doggie Daycare playing with the other pups. Thank you Scott and crew at Wilmington’s Hounds town.

I have brought Matilda here several times now and I am happy with the service . She loves it when we come she can’t wait to get inside. When we pick her up she tries to go back in she loves to play with other dogs.

So impressed with our first visit to Hounds Town-Wilmington! Our Rocky loved his playtime! He also got the deluxe bath and he smelled so good and looked so handsome when we picked him up. He will definitely be back!

I am from Alabama, in town for work, and have had the pleasure to experience Hound Town Wilmington. Jack had not experienced daycare until now (he’s 4 years old) and he has enjoyed his time here. He’s never really liked being around other dogs, he’s more of a people lover. To see him eager to go in and play with his new doggie friends every morning made my heart smile. The staff is amazing. We look forward to visiting Hound Town Wilmington again next year.

First and foremost only place that has reasonable hours for someone in healthcare so greatly appreciated! 5 stars just for that alone, but if that wasn’t enough the staff is also 5+ stars. I struggled with what to do because my dog had SO MUCH energy and I hated to leave him anywhere since he’s my baby. Let me tell you, he LOVES it. When we get there he RUNS to the back with the staff and doesn’t even look back to say goodbye. They are clearly taking good care of him and he’s having the time of his life making it so much easier and stress free for me to drop him off. This has made our nights together relaxing and my days at work so much better knowing he’s having fun and well taken care of. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Hounds Town is by far the best dog boarding and daycare in town. The facilities are clean, the employees are well trained and polite, the customer service is excellent. I know my dog is well cared for, safe and happy at Hounds Town. This is a top notch establishment that I can depend on to care for my dogs and to provide excellent service. Edit: added pics from our most recent stay. Domino has gone to houndstown several times this year. We are always so happy with the care and attention he gets. I highly recommend the spa package. No one trims his nails better!!

Our dog Ellie went for her first day of daycare this past week and she LOVED it! She was absolutely exhausted when she got home. She also got a deluxe bath and she smelled amazing afterwards!

I recently took my Pomeranian for her first visit to Animal House grooming salon, and I couldn't be more pleased! I want to give a special thanks to the GM, Scott, for recommending his Groomer, Trinette. She did an outstanding job! Every detail of my dog was absolutely beautiful and professionally done. Trinette is one of the best groomers I've used in a long time. I highly recommend you try her for yourself. I can assure you that you will be quite pleased with how your fur baby turns out based upon my dogs experience! Here are my pictures, so see for yourself.

I love Animal House! I've taken 5 dogs there and they all love it. They get excited when we pull on the street! The staff is always friendly and accommodating, even on all the short notices. My dogs come home tired and happy. I recommend this place to everyone!

I really am satisfied taking my dog to Animal House Wilmington. My dog gets to run around and play and socialize with other dogs. Sometimes I have to work extended hours, days on end and it is a comfort to me to know that I can drop him off there instead of keeping him alone, bored in my apt. peeing on the carpet. I also like they have special events, boarding, dog grooming and even obedience training. The staff is very nice and friendly and I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in their hands. When I have to go out of town for several days I don't worry about boarding him at Animal House becsuse I know he is well taken care of.

My dog Finn has been going to day camp weekly for almost four years. The staff recognize us both the minute we walk in and I know I can trust them with my boy. The pool is the best part! I can’t recommend enough!

Boarded my dogs here 3 times. The last time it was $700 and my dogs returned with kennel cough and my male with a giant wound on his head that was about 4 inches wide, a massive open bloody wound. Took 2 days to get the owner to contact us, and he just ran his mouth for 15 minutes trying to make himself look better, and that he’d pay for the vet visit then never reached back out. It’s been 2-3 months now, my dog is fully healed but I would like to warn others away from this place. The photos are far too gruesome to post, so I will leave those out so the review will post. The 2nd time we boarded them here, I put tape on the top of my food bin for my pets and on two intake forms I put that my female dog is food aggressive, and cannot be fed near my male or she’ll hurt him or worse. We watched for 2 hours while they had the food down in the same room with both of my dogs watching my female try to attack my male while nobody answered and the doors were locked so we could not inform them. I picked them up early from their stay at that time. The only reason I returned after the 2nd time and their fatal flaw in reading paperwork and food bins is because my grandmother passed away in New York and I had to make an urgent trip to go say goodbye to her. I will say on the upside the employees were always excited to see my pups, I just wish they kept the same tenacity in regard to pet safety and injures. I found out he was injured when we got home, they never mentioned it. If you’re anything like me your pets are your world and best friends, so I’m not willing to give a 3rd chance like the owner asked. This isn’t baseball we’re not playing 3 strikes in your house, this is the safety of living beings we’re talking about. As my wife and I are dog groomers this was all the more upsetting knowing the lack of safety and responsibility taking place. I pray no one else shares the experiences we have at this boarding facility.

I brought my cat here for a well needed grooming. This was his first grooming experience and I was really nervous that it was not going to be successful. I’m very grateful for the wonderful staff that made it happen. They warned me he may be agitated when I brought him home but he was happy as a clam. I think he’s pretty happy to have the mattes off of him. Thank you so much!!

This place is great! We left our 2 puppies, Rodrigo and Ranger, there for a few days and they had a blast! I was afraid that they would not enjoy themselves but when we picked them up they did not want to leave. The staff is wonderful and took exceptional care of our babies, making them feel welcome and at home. I would recommend this establishment to anyone. It has great amenities and the staff is just the best!! Thank you for taking such good care of my babies.

My Pittie Bleu loves to go to Animal House Day care. The staff is fabulous. He gets treats from the front desk and is always excited to go swim and play with his friends. 10 out of 10 I would Recommend.

I am one to never leave reviews, but I honestly can’t say enough good things about Animal House. My dog is a regular for about 6 months and has boarded with them a few times, and I won’t take her anywhere else. Nicole and the staff are SO welcoming and show such enthusiasm and love every time they see my dog, as well as other regular dogs. It’s comforting to know that they care for the dogs like their own. The prices are even better (compared to other places in Wilmington). Drop off as early as 7:30 and pick up at 5:15/5:30 for 23 dollars a day, you can’t beat it. A live camera so you can see your pup having an absolute blast in the big pool or grassy fenced-in yard. On top of the high level of involvement with little holiday parties for the pups (for an extra cost of like 10 dollars) and posting “pup of the week” and happy birthday shoutouts for the dogs. 10/10 recommend to any pet owner!

I absolutely love the manager, Nicole. She always goes above and beyond to make sure all customers are happy! Trinette, the groomer is beyond talented and every dog goes out looking show ready! 10 gold ⭐️

This place is AWFUL!!! We brought our dog here twice and the second time they did not remove his e-collar or prong collar the entire week that he was there. When he came home, he had two large holes in his neck from the e-collar as well as a huge hotspot on his chest. Both were already infected. My wife had to rush him to the emergency vet, which cost us $800! When I called to speak to a manager, I was told she was on the phone with another customer but would call me right back. I have not heard from anyone in the past 12+ hours. Our dog is now sitting on his bed, whimpering in pain. Please for the sake of your dogs safety, DO NOT BOARD THEM HERE!

The staff is always so friendly and helpful. I know Bella is in good hands while she is there. I check her occasionally on the cameras and love seeing her interacting with the other dogs plus seeing the attention she is given by the attendants! Whenever she goes to daycare she comes home exhausted so I know she gets lots of activity while she is there.

WOW WOW WOW! All of the staff was super amazing and super friendly!!!! They sent pictures and videos! They loved spending time with my dog, and one of the employees even gave me a harness because mine broke?! Like what?! Kindness goes such a long way, and they have all of it! I will recommend this place to everyone that has a dog and I will absolutely be back there and that’s saying a lot because I’m very particular and don’t ever like to leave my dog but I had to and it was absolutely worth it! Thank you so much there you guys are the best keep up the amazing work!

My dog got bit by another dog, we had said he could not be around other dogs due to his previous owner allowing him to be attacked by their orher dogs. He gets scared of other dogs. So he should not have been around another dog to be bit at all. Our dog never ever eats away from home. We brought dry food and a can of wet for him to eat the second day. When we picked him up, the wet can was returned, no dry food. We asked about it, they said he ate all the dry food. I can say with 1000% certainty, we were being lied to. There is absolutely no way he ate all that food, or any at all. We didn’t expect him to eat, that’s just the way he is and we know that. It was the lying that was really concerning. But that isn’t all. Within a week of boarding he was at the vet with a respiratory infection. Ten days of lots of meds and rest he was better. A few days later he develops a yeast infection in his ears from the antibiotics. So a $120 boarding visit for a weekend turned into $670 and some sleepless nights.

My girls loved their time here! It was pretty pricy at the end of a 9 day stay but I've never seen my dogs more happy while they were away from home. How do I know they were happy? I got updates (report card) from the kennel while I was away. Included pictures, how their demeanor has been AND how they've been eating. Awesome facility and great staff!! **one staff member told me she loved my dog so much that she wanted to take her home!! thank you guys for taking such good care of the girls! ❤

The staff took care of my pet and ensured he was happy. I was kept abreast as to how he was doing. The cameras worked well and seeing my pet interacting with the staff made me smile. When you are out of town and miles away it’s comforting to know your pet is being well taken care of.

Amazing. I came to Wilmington and didn’t realize that the time had expired for dogs to be allowed on the beach that I went to. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to get in anywhere as it was Memorial Day weekend, but this place was five star from the moment they picked up the phone and let me know that once I completed the intake process, I could transfer to another pet paradise in Austin where I live and I will be doing so… also considering getting dog training there. My dog was super happy when I came to pick him up and I could tell that the employees really loved spending time with him and put a lot of care and detail into the Pet report. If that wasn’t enough, they offered me a complimentary first time visit so I paid $0!! If you’re in Wilmington, don’t sleep on this place. I would definitely bring my dog back here; absolutely worth full price. 10/10

We will never send our dog to another place. The staff is so friendly , helpful, and they love what they do!

We love Pet Paradise, and our dog does too! The staff has always been very friendly, accommodating, and wonderful to our furbaby, emailing us pictures during his lodging stays and giving us a detailed update on him when we call to see how he is doing. He is always so excited when we pull into the parking lot and runs right to the staff when we enter the door, which lets me know that he is treated extremely well. We have used their services for lodging and daycare for over 3 years now, and Pet Paradise will continue to be the only place in Wilmington we trust to take quality care of our dog!

This is a great place for bringing your fur family. I have three dogs of different ages and personalities and I feel they all leave happy and well cared for. While we were in Disney for a week, they did a great job communicating anything my dogs needed and adjusted their stay accordingly. I've been to other dog daycare facilities in this area and this is by far my favorite because they keep a close eye on the dogs while playing instead of leaving them in packs unattended. The dog rooms are nice and the cameras to keep an eye on everyone is nice as well. It's not a cheap place but you get what you pay for.
