We found ourselves in a situation where were not planning on bringing our puppy on vacation but…read moreended up having to. We didn't know what to do and were beside ourselves. Enter Ocean Sands. Pam helped me book the reservation, and find the best price for us (it turned out that paying for boarding was cheaper than paying hourly, even though we didn't end up leaving our puppy overnight). We dropped the puppy off every morning (a 9-minute drive from where we are staying in Kill Devil Hills). She would hang out with Pam and Paul all day, then they would drive her back to us (Pet Taxi service) every evening. It saved our vacation! Our dog was so happy to see Pam and Paul every morning, which attests to the care and attention they gave her. This is a different kind of doggy daycare - the dogs don't play with each other but have separate, well-spaced kennels and are let out for play times every so often. My dog came back rested, hydrated, and she even ate while she was there (which is a huge shocker). Normally at regular doggy daycares, she will run herself into the ground and stop eating/drinking because she just wants to play all day. So this worked perfectly for us. Thanks, Pam and Paul!

We left our two dogs here for 6 days during our vacation. The process to book was very thorough…read more The two owners were super friendly. However, the first day they told us that the dogs were doing great -no issues. The second day the wife told us she actually doesn't interact with the dogs so we spoke to her husband. He told us the dogs actually ate for the first time the previous night. Even though we're aware dogs might not eat right away, we just thought it was strange it wasn't mentioned initially. Other than that, things were fine. When we picked up our dogs, I immediately noticed our older one had a TERRIBLE smell. When we got home I checked his ears and his right ear was bright red and filled with dark residue. Our vet tech cousin confirmed Oliver had a yeast infection that was about 3/4 days old. They never mentioned this to us. So we found this a little concerning as they didn't interact with the dog enough to notice because simply standing next to him you could smell it OR they did and just didn't mention it for no liability.
