Pet Sitters in
Ansley Heights, NC

My pups have loved spending time with Jessica at Happy Paws. I recently moved back to the area, and needed to find a good doggy day care. My pups are rescues with a history some anxiety at times. Jessica has been wonderful about making them feel understood & comfortable. I can see how happy they are when they realize we are back at Happy Paws to play. It’s invaluable to have such a great place for my fur babies.

I travel a lot with my dogs so I always have to find a good place for them to stay while I do my own thing. Happy Paws is the perfect place to keep your loved pets if you want them enjoy your vacation as much as you do, if not more! They are very reasonably priced and they work hard to make your dogs enjoy their stay. I always hate boarding dogs at kennels that charge extra for more play time but Happy Paws seems to make sure that your dogs get plenty of exercise with other dogs. The owners are very friendly and they do a great job of accommodating to your dogs' needs. I picked up my puppies in the morning, and they were already wiped out from running around before I came over. That's the way it should be! They even told me the issues that may have occurred (my dogs are friendly but one of mine tend to try to show dominance once in a while and they told me about those times. It wasn't a major problem but it's nice to know the owners are honest about that) As long as your pups are friendly and good with playing, then you need to check out this place. The owners treat your pups as if they are one of their own, and you can't ask for better than that. If you are in the area and need want your fur kids to have an awesome vacation while you're away, definitely check this place out. One of the best boarding experiences I've ever had. Thank you!

I cannot speak highly enough of Jessica and Dustin and their loving care they give to the dogs. I had a special one, fearful of people , never boarded except at a womans house who could no longer handle his energy due to her age. Jessica worked very, very, very hard with my guy and now he even gives her a kiss!!! Her kennel/home is very clean with lots of room for the dogs to play. She goes the extra mile to protect all the dogs, and is sure they are compatible before allowing them out to run and play. I am eternally grateful that she took my guy on and now if I need to leave town I know he will be happy. It's just he and I and I want him to be well cared for. She takes care of the dogs as if they were her own. I believe her background in wildlife rehabilitation helps her really understand them. Your simply the best!!!!!

We used Happy Paws to board our dogs for almost a week when we got married and are so glad we did! We have two dogs and they were able to be boarded together with some home comforts such as toys that we bought! Our dogs were in such good hands, and we received daily updates! That was such a nice extra that helped this boarding facility stand out among the rest! Happy Paws will be our go to boarding from now on! Not mention both dogs came home smelling great from the bath at the end of the week! Our pug and corgi gave their stay 4 paws up!!

I am very particular about who I leave my dogs with. Dustin and Jessie are big animal lovers to not just their own dogs but other dogs well. My dogs had a great visit at Happy Paws and I will not hesitate to take them back next time I’m out of town. I highly recommend the Happy Paws Dog Den. They will love your babies just as you do!

Happy Paws is a great place to board dogs! Our two anxious dogs love it there. Jessica really understands dog behavior and how to make every dog feel welcome and comfortable. We have used many dog boarding facilities and Happy Paws is the best.

Highly recommend this dog care facility for that other member of family. We have kept our dog with them for many months. We have seen wonderful improvement in our dog socially as the owners carefully match dog personalities, and work with each one's situation. Jessie, the co-owner with her husband Dustin have recently gone to great lengths to expand their facility while raising the bar of care for all the dogs that stay with them. Between them they have many years of dog care service, in both a veterinarian and short/long term dog stay care facility. Give them a shot with your pet...you won't be sorry.

We really prefer to take our guys along but sometimesthat just can't be done. This past weekend we attended an out of state wedding and left our dogs with Jess and Dustin. I never worried about their care, got regular updates and came back to happy dogs! Happy paws dog den is perfect with spacious clean facility, kennels like mini bedrooms, big hilly yard (just what they are used to) and lots of features to keep our guys safe and happy. We will definitely use them again.

Our dogs loved staying with Jessica during an extended stay. Jessica did an amazing job taking care of our senior dog who has special needs. She helped our shy dog socialize with the other dogs too. We loved the updates and communication. Thank you Jessica!

We had a wonderful experience with Happy Paws. Our dog is a senior lady Bassett Hound with medical needs. Jessie and Dustin were very accommodating to her needs. We were able to take a worry free vacation as they updated us daily with texts and pictures. We highly recommend Happy Paws!!!!

A hound dog, 2 Boxers, Cane Corso and Frenchton....Lora has cared for 15 years worth of dogs for us. Highly recommend, your baby will be in great hands.

I have always been hesitant to board our Molli, but she LOVES Lora and the team at Pet Prairie. The photos we receive of her show a dog with an actual smile on her sweet face. She has a great time and doesn’t even seem to miss us. Highly recommend!

We feel so fortunate that we found Lora and Pet Prairie! Our two papillons love staying with Lora and we feel comfortable going out of the country for extended trips knowing they will be treated with love and kindness by true dog lovers. She will treat your dog the same as if it was one of her own pets. You will be very happy with your dog’s reaction if you board at Pet Prairie!

My dog has pretty severe separation anxiety so I was a little nervous about having to board him. A friend recommended Pet Prairie and after meeting with Lora I felt very comfortable with our dog staying there. He did fine. She sent pictures of him to ease my worry. I knew he was in good hands and didn’t worry. Lora is very knowledgeable about dogs and very compassionate. I’m very thankful to Lora and her staff for taking such good care of him. Our dog has found his new “home away from home.”

We would absolutely recommend anyone to use Pet Prairie for their Dogs! Our two dogs Love to stay here. We can leave them here and not worry about them at all. They are in good hands and just make them selves at home!

We highly recommend Pet Prairie! Our two Golden boys love it there. They care for them so well that we call it a visit to the doggie spa. The staff really goes above and beyond. We drive 40 minutes to this place and it’s worth every penny! Thanks for taking care of our good boys!

Lora and her staff are super! We always have a great experience leaving our golden-doodle in their care. He is so excited when we drop him off. The well stocked store with healthy, quality provisions is so convenient. Love the bath and Professional blowout as well! Thank you for providing our family with the peace of mind that Huk is happy and well cared for!

I highly recommend Pet Prairie/Lora. I'm a dog trainer, so I'm pretty picky about who I trust with my Lab and German Shepherd. I have no question that the well being of the dogs in her care is her top priority. When my shepherd got an upset stomach during her first stay, she went above and beyond to make her special meals to help her feel better. We love Pet Prairie!

The best place you could possibly leave your dog! Lori learns about each dog personally and is so Knowledgeable of dogs. I am picky about where I leave my standard poodle and I can always trust Pet Prairie to provide excellent care. Buffy had rather stay there than to come home😊

We like to call it Summer Camp for our pup who runs right in without even looking back. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable... true animal lovers... sometimes we feel our pup would rather stay at the Pet Prairie than come home! Absolutely the best place for your pet!

Woofpack is our go-to dog training service. Melissa has been very helpful in assisting us to help our energetic chocolate lab to become a sweet, well behaved dog. Our dog is going through the process of becoming a certified therapy dog. When we adopted a new dog, Melissa was very helpful with some new training challenges before we were able to get our puppy into training. We were also very pleased with boarding services. Our dogs were treated like royalty and had a fabulous time.

Melissa and her team are amazing in all that they do, I can’t recommend them highly enough! I’ve done several training classes with her, enrolled my pup in daycare, and been able to board him several times with peace of mind that he’s being treated as well as if he were home with me. He loves daycare days and always comes home tired and happy. Great customer service, caring and attentive staff, and a clean and safe facility. 10/10, this business is a true gem.

Wolfpack and Melissa have been extremely helpful with my fearful dog. He had his puppy training, day care, overnight care and most recently one on one help to deal with issues. I highly recommend them. You will not find a more caring knowledgeable place.

My dog, Missy, and cat, Sunny, both stayed at Woof Pack for a week while we were on vacation. Usually we take Missy with us and someone cares for Sunny while we're away, but we were unable to do that this time. We decided on Woof Pack after getting glowing references from several people. This place is like a luxury hotel for your pets! Individual rooms for your dog and individual multi level "condos" for your cat. There's tv for them as well as music. They have generous outdoor space as well. Missy is very scared of thunder and a storm occurred during her stay. Melissa (the owner) stayed up with her til 2am to calm and reassure her! I'm pretty sure that wouldn't happen elsewhere. This will be our go to from now on when we can't take our pets with us. I like knowing someone else will put that much effort into their well being.

Melissa Helms of Woof Pack Pet Services is like the dog whisperer of Boone, NC. Her place is the nicest dog boarding facility I've ever seen, and Melissa's passion for her dogs and her work shines through the moment you meet her. I highly recommend Woof Pack for dog boarding, and I recommend their dog training classes as well.

I love my dog and he goes pretty much everywhere with me, including work (he’s the greeter). Sometimes though, my wife and I take a trip and have to leave him behind for one reason or another. Woof Pack is the only boarding facility we’d leave him with and I have 100% confidence in their service and professionalism. This place has high demand (because they are so good) so planning and booking well ahead of time is advised.

Having moved to Boone 6 years ago, I was relived to find Woofpack and now consider it part of our family. My two dogs are excited to arrive and come home relaxed and happy after spending time with the kind, caring, professional staff. What a gift to our community and to my family!

Woof Pack offers a great variety of classes, from obedience to sport to overcoming fearfulness, and the class sizes are always small enough that everyone gets personal attention and can participate fully. Melissa's varied experience with training "typically-abled" dogs and "differently-abled" dogs (her personal pack includes several visually and/or aurally impaired dogs) means she can suggest training options for any dog of any background. We've completed three sets of classes with our pup and can't wait to do more; my parents have worked with Melissa in private sessions to address the reactivity and behavioral issues of their latest rescue, a German Shepherd dog, and the progress they've made with Melissa's assistance is remarkable. I highly recommend Woof Pack for anyone and any dog!

Very unprofessional. When we were finally able to get a hold of the owner, she said she was busy and would call us back that Sunday. It has been two weeks and messages left with no return phone calls. We needed help with our beloved dog and was looking forward to working with someone with her listed creditials but she only returned our call once just to say she would call back and never did. Not a way to run a business.

Woof Pack is the ONLY place I trust to leave my dogs. My dogs are my babies and even though I hate to leave them at all, I can, knowing they are completely well taken care of.

Haven't used another sitter in years! Dogwood Critter Care is the best. Eli and Bruce are phenomenal care takers. And judging by the photos they send, my fur babies love them too! Tons of different pet sitting services offered and they send updates WITH photos. Seriously the best pet sitting business in the high country. They have truly stepped up when so many boarding facilities and individuals have failed us. ♥️🐾

Dogwood critter care walked the dog on time, and I think the dog likes Eli more than me. He can be persnickety and headstrong, but they handled him with professionalism and care. Also very reasonable rates for the time they spend with your pet, worth it to keep a stubborn dog from making a mess while you're at work. They're flexible and well staffed too, and can work around your schedule.

Knowing that your pets are being cared for while traveling is incredibly comforting. Eli and Bruce went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable with them and then bring calming energy to our gaggle of cats. Their love for animals is obvious with each interaction that they have. Bruce actually pet one of our semi feral cat; his fist time being pet by anyone other than my husband and I. If you are a pet owner you will not go wrong entrusting Dogwood Critter Care with your animals.

Fantastic company with very sweet owners. Their compassion for animals was evident in our meet and greet. Not everyone is comfortable working with exotic animals (I have a small parrot). Dogwood Critter Care made me feel completely at ease leaving my bird at home while traveling abroad. I received daily updates, including pictures and video of Apollo enjoying his visit! Have already recommended them to friends in the community, and am looking forward to using them again in the future!

I have used Dogwood Critter Care several times to care for my two cats while traveling. They are the absolute BEST pet sitters and they have made me feel so comfortable and confident leaving my sweet beans in their care. They always send detailed updates with photos for every visit and actually spend time loving on my kitties so they are happy to see us when we get home! I couldn't recommend this company and their services more.

My wife and I turn to no one else other than Eli and Bruce at Dogwood Critter Care (DCC) for worry-free pet-sitting. Whether watching our labs (3) for a single day or a week or more, DCC is 100% reliable and trustworthy. They follow instructions, and their daily, detailed updates (including pixs) are greatly appreciated. Our four-legged kids believe Eli and Bruce are part of their human family, and that's the way it should be with house- and pet sitters. We highly recommend Dogwood Critter Care!

We couldn’t say enough good things about Eli! She took such wonderful care of our two babies while we were out of town. She respected our home and went above and beyond for us. She even went as far as to salt our sidewalks and even helped us turn off water when our pipes froze up. She was extremely professional and very knowledgeable about animals. She was even prepared for my big husky and his silly behaviors. We highly recommend Eli for your pet sitting needs. Boarding my boys was always very stressful and really hard on my husky. I had such peace of mind knowing my boys were in good hands at home, stress free! We Will definitely be using her services again in the future!

The Pet Care by Eli team is amazing! We have used their services since January throughout the week while we are at work for our Golden pup, Walter. He is now almost 11 months. They are all so caring and loving toward Walter. They have listened to our needs and work with us to make sure Walter is well taken care of, and have always been flexible if our schedule changes last minute. I never worry about Walter throughout the day because I know he is in good hands. I receive updates after every visit with their comments and feedback, notifications of all the activities (potty, treats, feedings, etc), and pictures! Anyone that has ever known us even a little, understands we are very picky about the care for our pets. It is very apparent this team loves animals and understands how to care for them. Highly recommend!!!

Eli was absolutely incredible! She is so great with animals and treated our Boxer like her own. Not only did she continuously communicate with us and keep us updated, she rearranged her schedule last minute to accommodate our schedule changes. Thank you so much for everything: the new game ideas, beautiful pictures, professionalism, tips and new friendship to our girl. She also works off an app which is super easy and user friendly that makes everything so easy for planning purposes, invoices, and forms.

We trusted Pet Care by Eli right away! We had piece of mind with our 3 girls in their care and are so grateful for the thoroughness, care, experience and professionalism provided. One of our girls had surgery 2 weeks prior but we trusted she would continue healing in their care. We are so grateful!

The staff at Fetching Ridge consistently goes above and beyond for my sweet golden retriever pup, Louie, and I. One of the trainers, Emma, is so kind, gentle and caring that Louie practically leaps out his harness every time he sees her! The pictures and report cards are such a sweet touch and I know we are always in good hands for daycare and boarding.

Do not put your pets in these peoples hands! This business does its best to remove negative reviews to paint a better picture that what actually occurs. They will claim you’re not in their system to deflect any negativity rather than holding their team accountable. My German Shepherd has GI issues which she takes medicine for and I left her at this facility for a week while I was out of town. I provided the proper amount of food as instructed for the duration I’d be gone. When I returned, my pup was underweight and looked like she had not been cared for in the slightest. Along with her belongings were several unused bags of her food which goes to show they don’t follow any personalized instructions you give them should your pup need it. You’ve been warned.

I bring my dogs here to get their toenails trimmed regularly. The staff are very friendly and use an easy manner when dealing with my one dog who hates her nails done. They understand she is upset and talk to her and get things done without any issues. Great Job Ladies!

This place Is absolutely ridiculous. They waited til the day before boarding to tell us our vaccination proof was not sufficient that it needed to have a due date for the next one on the form. Keep in mind this came from a vets office and then they took our money and refused to refund it due to them waiting until the day before boarding to tell us this. Would not recommend to anyone. Stay far away And this is an update since they responded and tried to make it out fault. We did not cancel they waited until 4pm on a Friday to tell us the day before we were supposed to drop our puppy off. And then after we call trying to get verification on what we needed we receive a text telling us THEY are canceling our reservation after we called the vet after hours and got what they needed

My dog loves coming to Fetching Ridge! The staff really get to know your dog, their quirks and preferences, and all of their needs. I always feel good about leaving my pup in their hands when I go out of town, and the staff is so accommodating and willing to work with me when unexpected things arise.

They were super-sweet to our dog Ben on his first day of day care at this establishment, and everyone working there was kind, energetic, and enthusiastic. I'm sure we will be back often.

I've been taking my dog there for a year or so now and he loves it (and me too)! Everytime he realizes where we are going he gets super excited and never gets tired of it.The employees are so loving towards him and friendly to me as well! A great way to make sure that he gets the energy out that he needs and the socialization he loves even when our work schedules get hectic. They even have an app where they tag your pet in photos and it's great to see everytime.

We loved Fetching Ridge when they did grooming. We are dog-less right now, but will certainly use them should we need boarding! The staff was always attentive, caring, and professional.

The staff was easy to work with, communicated with us while we were gone, our puppies were all clean when we picked them up. Job well done Fetching Ridge!

I love this place! I’ve boarded my dog Milo here a couple times and they always take wonderful care of him and send me pictures! My dog enjoys the times he’s boarded here and always come back to me happy and healthy! I highly recommend this business for anyone wanting to board their pet at a trustworthy, high quality place!

They too great and loving care of our cat. It's very hard to find a place that truly provides the special care cats do. All God's Creatures Great & Small did not let us down. They stayed in touch with us every day with texts and pictures and I could see from the photos that Avery felt more and more comfortable there. I wouldn't hesitate to board her there again.

All God’s Creatures staff did a lovely job serving all 3 of my animals at once. When we booked for 1pm, we were told pickup could be as late as 5pm but they were done early and ready a little after 3pm! I informed staff we were fighting a flea battle and all three pets were given Capstar and flea shampoo and came home smelling like flowers! You can feel a massive difference in the health of their coats and the attention to detail that my furbabies received. Not to mention, they also did a great job trimming all of their nails without cutting into the quick/without going too far. The fleas were so bad on our dog that they informed me they washed him twice with no additional cost. A little added touch of love happened when staff called to tell me the animals were ready for pick up. She said, “your *babies* are clean and ready for pick up!” 10/10 loved the care and service my fur-children received! We will be back! Thank you very much to Tereasa and each staff member that helped rid them of these fleas!!! ❤️🙏🏼

We boarded our Boone last week. The check in and pick up process was so easy. They greeted Boone with smiles and loving on him he went right to them. When we went and picked him up he greeted us but went right back to the staff. Almost like he didn’t want to leave. Which made me feel good cause I know he was well taken care of. I highly recommend All God’s Creatures Great and Small.

They are amazing! They were the only place that could help us trim our guinea pigs nails! I should have thought of them first! The young lady that helped was so patient and sweet!! 10/10

Our dogs, Penny and Ziggy, have a wonderful time staying at All Gods Creatures!! We feel very blessed to have a place where the staff care for and love on our girls just like they are at home, while we are out of town. We have absolutely no worries about Penny and Ziggy while we are on vacation!! It’s a wonderful place and I would recommend them to anyone!! 😊😊

I don't how to express how great this place. We are so happy we found them to watch our ferrets. The prices are reasonable & staff super friendly. They text you pictures of fur babies. Highly recommended them. They truly a god sent.

I absolutely love these ladies! We adopted a dog, we set an appointment for him to be groomed. I was telling Debra how bad his nails are. She let us bring him immediately to clip his nails. His appointment was 2 weeks out! Absolutely recommend this business!

We take our little Shauzer there for grooming and daycare....they are so good with her.....

Cato and I both approve and are highly appreciative of the great attitude and care given to him here. They do a very fine job at a very reasonable price. They handle my 110 lb "Great White" with no problem.

They were amazing with our elderly lab Gator. I called as a new client and was able to get an appointment the very next day! They were very kind and we will definitely be switching all of our fur babies to All Gods Creatures!

Wonderful service! Kait and Matt are highly dependable, trustworthy, and terrific with our furr-baby. I almost hate to admit that our bunny doesn't miss us that much when we travel because she gets such great care and attention from Kait and Matt.

Kait and Matt are the best. They took great care of our Tess over the last two years. They are loving and cared for her as if their own. Extremely trustworthy and always felt comfortable with them in our home. We look forward to a continuing relationship with them when we adopt another pet.

I have used the services of High Country Petventures several times. They are a great team that provides excellent pet care when I’m out of town or my work hours are too long. I feel their prices are very fair, especially considering they also keep my house clean. I can always tell when I return home that my pets have had a lot of attention and care. I highly recommend them and will continue to use them in the future.

Matt and Kait are top notch people, both personally and professionally. Throughout my many years of knowing them, they have taken care of my pets on short notice without hesitation on several occasions. Knowing that Matt and Kait are with my pets when I couldn't be always helped put my mind at ease. 10/10 would highly recommend for anyone in need of a pet sitting professional.

My two huskies loved having Kait and Matt tend to there every need! They were very professional and some of the nicest people I have ever done business with. My dogs tend to pull a good bit and they handled that with ease! Thanks High Country petventures. You Rock!

We have used High Country Petventures for a year. They have been very dependable, helpful in every way and best of all, our two fur babies love them! We have had great piece of mind having them come each week and they have also stayed over a weekend with our boys. Look no further for the best pet care in the High Country!

You’re seeing Kaitlin with our Bingo, a cat that doesn’t like ANYBODY but his ‘parents’ AND her. He scuttles under chairs and beds when the doorbell rings, he becomes totally invisible when someone comes in the house, and he is a non-people critter. One week with Kaitlin, who came twice a day while we were away, and you’re seeing the result. They’re buddies. We found Kaitlin and her pet sitting services online, met with her to discuss Bingo’s routine, and left her to it. While we were away, she sent us photos and texts to let us know how she and he were getting along and when we returned, she came again to make sure that all was well. We could not be more pleased and actually look forward to necessary travel because we know that PetVentures will take good care of our four-legged companion.

Matt and Kate are always my number one choice to look after Pig when I leave town. They are great with animals and go the extra mile providing quality time with the pets. I recommend keeping them in mind when they are able to offer the service again!

Can't say enough great things about High Country Petventures. Excellent service and communication!! My pets love these guys and my mind is always at ease knowing they are in such great hands.

Melissa is a wonderful teacher. she is kind and compassionate, and patient. I am in a wheelchair and she is very accommodating. The parking lot is gravel but my wheelchair did find and there is a ramp into the facility. She is encouraging and makes you feel very comfortable and confident in training with your dog. You feel like a team.

Melissa is a pro. She communicates in a timely manner, keeps an ultra positive attitude throughout all classes and is an expert dog trainer. Our pup made great strides in behavior and as long as we do our part, we expect her to been a great adult dog. Thanks Melissa!

I am always impressed with the amount of knowledge that Melissa brings when it comes to training dogs. Her knowledge in both human and canine psychology is impressive. She brings positive reinforcement to the forefront and makes training fun for both the humans and dogs.

Melissa is without a doubt the most knowledgeable person about dogs that I've ever met. Woof Pack Dog Training gave me SO MUCH insight on my Leila and also my roommate's dog Deebo. Deebo was 100% better after his training, and Bill even received a discount on his homeowners insurance as a result of Deebo passing the AKC Good Citizen program offered by Woof Pack. Money well spent. Thank you Melissa and Woof Pack Pet Training of Boone, NC.

I have been taking my dog for private training and it's amazing how much she has improved! Melissa is so helpful and I look forward to training sessions!

Melissa did great with Jolene in her 1st classes towards Therapy Dog Certification. Looking forward to next classes!

Melissa has helped me with training my furbabies twice. She is the real deal. Knowledgeable, kind, smart, & patient. Highly recommend. 🌟🌟🌟 …

Melissa has an Awesome training facility, and she is a great Teacher.

Fabulous place!

Terry is great with our fur babies, I don't trust anyone else.
