Gunner has been going to Holly Ridge since he was a puppy. He’s been to daycare, and he frequents the hotel as well. Gunner is now 7 and still wags his tail at drop off and trots back to his room without looking back.
Bella has enjoyed her time at Holly Ridge and we love the staff’s customer service and attention to every detail especially when it comes to our girl! They always respond to my emails checking up on her. I love getting a report card too! Nice added touch!
My 16 month old Yorkie had never been boarded so I was a little worried about how he would do. He is a momma’s boy! Anyway, I used them once before for another dog many years ago so I knew what to expect. The care given to Archie was great. He was very happy to see me but he didn’t seem ready to go home so…
Holly Ridge is a great place to leave your pups! The friendly staff puts you at ease that they'll take care of your pups while you're on your relaxing vacation with no worries. Also, a great perk is they'll come home tired and sleep for days. 😉
I have boarded my dog here three times now and two of the three he has gotten bad kennel cough as a result. Just beware for your pups.
Our dogs, Buddy & Henry, have stayed at Holly Ridge over many, many years. As pet parents, we are thrilled with the care and attention our dogs receive while staying at Holly Ridge Manor. Some visits are short and others can be for a couple of weeks. Each time our guys return happy and healthy. We have used in…
We love Holly Ridge. My Alice always enjoys staying there. It is wonderful to know she will be taken such good care of during her stay.
Toby, our six year-old miniature poodle, had the time of his life at Holly Ridge. He ate well, played with all the other friendly dogs, and got a glowing report card at the end of his Stay. I would definitely recommend Holly Ridge and send Toby back again. The next time we go out of town. It was like a wonderful summer camp for him.
For over 3 years I have been taking my dog Finn to Holly Ridge for boarding up to two weeks. The staff always does an exceptional job in taking care of my dog. I highly recommend Holly Ridge for boarding stays. The 5 star review is well deserved.
My hounds Blue and Macy Hope love making friends and playing at doggy daycare. We never worry about traveling when leaving them in the care of Holly Ridge. They get snacks and playtime. They always come home. Happy.
Holly Ridge has taken care of our dogs for many years. The staff takes very good care of them, and gives them lots of attention. Our dog, Molly, loves to go and stay with them.
Ginny loves staying at Holly Ridge. The staff care for her as if she is their own.
Our dachshund pups, Max & Scooter, were so well taken care of here. We are from out of state and kept them here three days while visiting relatives. We highly recommend Holly Ridge Manor Country Club!
My pups have been going to Holly Ridge for several years starting with Sam and Julie my Yellow and Chocolate Labs. They would start to whine as I entered their stone columns at entry. They were always well cared for, loved by the staff and under loving watchful eyes by the staff. My yellow lab Sam had seizures so…
We highly recommend Holly Ridge, they are far superior to the other locations in the area that we used, before finding them via a family recommendation. They now watch over Ruby, the second family member we have trusted to their care, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with their staff and facilities, hence the five…
Clifford loves staying at Holly Ridge Boarding motel. The staff is wonderful. His favorite part is going in the pool. Highly recommend boarding your pet here.
Very friendly, My Baxter loves going to Holly Ridge ❤️
We have been taking are dog Bear to Holly Ridge for a couple of years now. He has done two 30 day stays and a couple of short stays. The ladies and guys that work there are awesome. They do such a great job with ensuring he gets play time and needed attention. The updates while you’re gone are great too. They tell…
Holly Ridge has been amazing for our two Bostons. They are friendly, professional, and organized. Booking and overall communication is extremely easy. The facilities are clean. There is a lot of room for them to play and run outside. I like that you can add personal play time and personal walks for your pups…
Thrilled with the service, and my German Sheppard was happy too! After an alternate boarding location canceled our reservation the night before, Holly Ridge swooped in and saved us! They were so friendly and reassuring with it being Ambers first stay. We loved the after report and photos posted. Not to mention,…
Holly Ridge has repeatedly done a great job while boarding our Labrador. It’s reasonably priced and the staff is genuinely interested in the welfare of your dog(s).
We love bringing our dog to stay at Holly Ridge Manor Canine Country Club! We have been bringing our dog to stay here for several years now and it has been a wonderful experience every time! Our dog never seems stressed when we pick him up after boarding and is eager to return whenever we bring him back. I love…
Holly Ridge has been taking care of our Golden Retriever every time we travel without him. They take great care of him and he is always excited to go back when we drop him off!
Lacey always is so happy to stay at Holly Ridge. She is loved and cared for, and I have peace of mind that she is safe and having fun.
Charlie has a great time!
We’ve brought our dog Bo here for daycare and boarded him for the first time this weekend. He’s always so happy when we drop him off and when we pick him up. We know that he’s having such a great time. The staff are awesome! You can clearly see the care they put into taking care of the dogs.
My doggies loved it here! Excited to bring them back. It was a gorgeous facility and tons of space for them to roam!
I will never take our dog to any other boarding kennel. The staff at Holly Ridge set the standard for kindness and care. Their facility is beautifully clean and they are so attentive to the needs of their animals. Plus, my dog has so much fun when he’s there!
This was our first time boarding our dog Martin and it was an excellent experience. We liked that the dogs were taken outside to play several times each day. Martin enjoyed playing with the other dogs and the staff was kind to him (and us!). We’ll definitely use Holly Ridge again.
My Penniford absolutely loves her home away from home! Staff are extremely kind and caring and they give a little report card of sorts at the end of her stay. There are so many services to choose from- whether your dog is your baby or a member of the family- they have you covered. Highly recommend!
We used Holly Ridge in the past for our previous 2 dachshunds and now after adopting 2 dachshunds, we returned. We trust Holly Ridge with providing the best care for our pets while we are away. We have a piece of mind knowing that they are in good hands. Thank you to the staff at Holly Ridge for taking care of Chloe & Milo.
Our dogs love it there and the staff does a great job taking care of them. Whenever we go on vacation, we always take our dogs to Holly Ridge knowing our dogs are being cared for and enjoying themselves. Thank you Holly Ridge for taking care caring of our dogs for all these years!
I’ve been trusting Holly Ridge Pet Motel with our dog’s boarding needs for years, and they have never once let us down. From the moment we drop him off, it’s clear that the staff truly loves what they do and genuinely cares about every pet in their care. Our dog absolutely adores his stays there—he gets so excited…
My high energy pup loves coming here! The staff is great! It is reassuring to know she is well taken care of (and loved) when I have to leave her.
Holly Ridge does such a great job taking care of my dog. He loves going there and seems sad to be picked up. He needed a bath this time so they had him clean and ready smelling great when I picked him up.
This is the only place we board our sweet doggies. The take great care of them with plenty of playtime. It is expensive but worth every penny penny!
We can always trust the staff at Holly Ridge Manor to take great care of our pup while we are away. We have an unsocial dog (doesn't play well with others & gets private outdoor time), which can be daunting at other facilities, where I'm not familiar with the staff. Hence why we've been using Holly Ridge since 2017.…
Our son't dog Trouble had a great time. Lots of big dog play time. Loved the photos on Facebook. Very very nice staff.
We had a great experience leaving our doggies for a long weekend. Easy check in process, drop off went smoothly, when we went to pick up they were outside loving playtime and didn't want to leave. Some say Holly Ridge is expensive but I feel that they take care of my fur babies and their staff and that is worth the piece of mind!
We have been taking our girls to Holly Ridge for many years. They are always happy and well cared for by the staff there. The accommodations are kept sparkling clean and the staff is kind and professional. Highly recommend!
