About Hatteras Island Pet Resort
Since 2004, Hatteras Island Pet Resort has been the premier vacation spot for pets on the southern Outer Banks of North Carolina. From a small, single person kennel, we have now grown to offer dog and cat boarding, day boarding, crate rentals, retail, and salon services.
​
Our staff of 5, including owner Sabrina Hatfield, is a dedicated group of animal lovers committed to going above and beyond to make you and your pets feel comfortable and welcome. We lavish each guest with individual attention according to their wants and needs. By taking the time and space to get to know your pet on a personal level, we can ensure they are safe, happy, healthy, and have everything they need for an enjoyable stay.
​
Our facility just north of the traffic circle in Rodanthe is set back off the highway, a short walk from the beach on a quiet gravel lane with no through traffic. We strive to maintain a good, positive relationship with our community, including local nonprofits, other businesses, and the people and animals of Hatteras Island.

Come see what keeps pets and their humans coming back again and again!
