Dog Boarding in Banner Elk

Jemena is a treasure. Rosie was very happy playing and staying with new friends. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone for a short stay, a long stay and day care. Lynn Frazier

Great experience—communication before and during Jeter’s stay with Chesnut was fantastic. She really went above and beyond to make sure that Jeter had everything he needed. Highly recommend her.

I had such a great experience with Hunter! From the start, she was extremely responsive to my messages and made the whole process easy and reassuring. She took amazing care of my dog, Dolly, and made sure that all the dogs were safe and comfortable. I really appreciated the updates and photos she sent, it gave me peace of mind. Hunter has created safe environment, and I felt completely at ease leaving Dolly in her care. I highly recommend her and will be booking with her again!

Penguin and Ducky had a great time at Kara’s place! She was great to work with and was flexible and understanding regarding some last-minute changes to the booking and itinerary, even meeting us in Boone to pickup my girls so that I could spend more time with my family and friends during my brother’s bachelor party weekend. Kara is also a great photographer and sent awesome photos and videos of my pups playing with other dogs. She always responded quickly whenever I reached out to her. Can definitely recommend!

Heather is the best! I love when my pup gets to stay with her. She is always very well taken care of and Heather sends photos throughout my time gone. I would highly recommend booking with her!

Carola was quick to respond from the very beginning. We met ahead of our trip to meet and introduce our dog to her and her home. She sent pictures and videos of our little Piper enjoying herself throughout the week, which we really appreciated.

This was our first time using Rover and it was a great success. We left Mya for 2 weeks with Lisa while we were in Italy. She sent several pictures of Mya while we were gone and let us know how well she was doing. When we picked her up she was clean and happy. We will certainly rely on Lisa in the future.

Couldn’t be happier with Craig and his wife’s care. Aubie was happy and well cared for. I was afraid he didn’t want to leave! Craig also keep us posted with pictures etc. Kind and warm family. Now I don’t have to worry about Aubie. Thank you!

Heather was wonderful with our pup, Fern! She worked with our travel schedule and kept in touch while we were gone. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and you can tell she really cares. We will use her for all of our boarding needs!

Fran was the most wonderful dog sitter. I’m very nervous about leaving my little dog Beau behind because he’s a bit shy and because I miss him so much. He genuinely enjoyed his time with Fran, and I loved the updates she sent. He clearly felt very at home with Fran and Kevin, and I feel more comfortable taking trips now.

Amanda and her family are a sweet family. We felt great leaving our 2 fur babies overnight in Amanda's care. Unfortunately, one of dogs bit her dog. Amanda was polite as she explained the situation. We were surprised and felt terrible. No medical attention for her dog was needed. As pet owners, we all understand that this can happen....even if it has never happened before. We won't be able to use Amanda again, BUT we still recommend her because her home, yard and family are a wonderful consideration for other pets to receive great care. ?

Laura is a great dog sitter! She is very responsive, flexible about timing for drop off and pick-up, and a genuine animal lover. She sent adorable pictures of Rex during his stay, gave me updates on his diet and what he did during the day. When I picked him up I could tell he'd had a good time and been in great hands. I will definitely use Laura again to watch Rex. Very recommended! ⭐️

Maddie and Lady had a fun time staying with Jill and her family. She sent many photos of them running and playing with a couple of new friends in her spacious fenced in back yard. She also let me know after their first night that they were adjusting well as I was wondering since it was their first visit with her. We will definitely use her again when we need overnight dog care.

Our Havanese puppy Oliver had a wonderful time with Lilly and her toddler son, cats and dog! The “meet & greet” that Lilly suggested the day before Oliver’s visit really helped with Oliver feeling comfortable with her. Definitely plan to use Lilly’s pet services in the future!
