Pet Boarding in Elon

“Amy & John took such good care of our two dogs, boarding them for nearly a week while we traveled. I was so appreciative and relieved they would consider us, as our young dog, River, is always curious and has a pretty strong prey drive. I wondered if he would be suited to life on their farm. Our other guy, Colton, is 15 and has significant arthritis. These two could not have more different needs at this point. Amy and John have a beautiful farm, two special rescued dogs, Bruno & Pork Chop, cattle, chickens, even emu. This would be a new experience for both our guys! Generally we spend a great deal of time with them off leash walking our family farms, but this would be a new property and boundaries without fencing. At our meet and greet it was clear Amy and John are special people. We admired them right away! They are very experienced, and were aptly methodical about the introduction of all the dogs and their other farm animals. Their confidence that this could work for all parties involved was reassuring. Amy and John went above and beyond, very kind to take our dogs a day earlier than planned with short notice, and welcomed our daughter, also new to them, who transported the dogs for us. They were excellent at communicating, sending us updates, pictures, and videos, even though we’d told them this was not necessary, as keeping up with River, his energy and curiosities, we knew could be a full time job in and of itself. But it gave us great peace of mind hearing early on that all was going well and there were no issues. Because of Amy & John’s care, patience, and diligence, after a full day with them we received the following, “..Bruno and River have become fast friends, running circles and playing hide and seek in the woods like wild things! We’re not using the leashes at all as we walk in the woods. River’s been absolutely perfect about coming back when we call him.” And I got the biggest kick out of, “I just got back from a walk with all four dogs, Pork Chop and Colton waddling behind me and River and Bruno having a blast playing chase.” Along with a picture Amy sent of River with his head poking through from behind her knees (as crazy as it sounds), something he humors only us with here at home, we KNEW both our guys felt comfortable, were happy and very much cared for. I could not imagine a more perfect scenario for our dogs. Now back at home, we can definitely sense they are missing Amy, John, Bruno, Pork Chop, and daily life on their farm. I’d love to arrange a play date to help with this, and I KNOW precisely what River and Colton’s reactions will be once we approach their farm. It’s clear this is a family that loves animals and cares so much for the well-being of all they have rescued and assumed responsibility for. They are kind, exceptional, hard-working individuals, and we feel so fortunate to have met them and to have our dogs cared for by them. This is who we will turn to any time we need care and boarding for our dogs!”

“I had such a great experience with this dog sitter while I was away on my trip. Leaving my dog is never easy, but she made the entire process feel so comfortable and stress-free. She was very communicative, kept me updated with messages and pictures, and it was clear my dog was being well cared for and getting plenty of attention. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she cares for. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“Tina was such a great sitter for Modelo. She kept me updated the whole time she had him and I knew he was really having a great time. I definitely plan to use her in the future”

“Shawna, was amazing with my 6 month Labradoodle. She provided photos and videos the entire time. I will definitely use her again.”

“Wonderful experience, great communication. Our quirky little Bugg had a blast and came home happy, healthy, and well exercised. It was our first time leaving him with non-family and Amber & boys put our minds at ease. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with over 10 years of experience working in the veterinary field, so your dog’s health, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m confident caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including those who may need extra patience, structure, or special attention. My fiancé has 15+ years of professional dog training experience, which means your pup benefits from consistent handling, basic training reinforcement, and a calm, structured environment while in our care. We work as a team to make sure every dog feels secure, understood, and well cared for. We’re an outdoors-loving household with dogs of our own, so we truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. Our property includes plenty of safely fenced-in space for supervised play, exercise, and enrichment—perfect for dogs who love to run, explore, and burn off energy. Whether your dog enjoys active playtime, peaceful walks, or just relaxing with people who genuinely love dogs, we’re happy to tailor care to their individual needs. You can feel confident knowing your pup will be treated like one of our own while you’re away. I work full-time Mon-Fri from 8am–4pm, and my fiancé is home during the day, only leaving occasionally for training sessions. Dogs are let outside multiple times throughout the day for potty breaks, play, and exercise. We’re happy to feed, administer medications, and follow special care routines as needed to match your dog’s normal schedule. All pet sitting is done in our home only, allowing us to closely monitor every dog in our care. Our backyard is fully enclosed with a 6-foot privacy fence, providing a secure space for supervised play and exercise. The front yard is enclosed with a 4-foot fence and is typically used when my daughter is outside or for small dogs who prefer calmer, smaller play groups. Our home sits on approximately 1.5 acres, giving dogs plenty of room to stretch their legs while remaining in a controlled, safe environment. Dogs are always supervised outdoors, and we carefully separate playtime when needed to ensure every pup feels comfortable and secure.

“Faith is great!! Cooper came home worn out. Faith is accommodating, responsive and very friendly. She is now my "go-to" sitter. She sent numerous pictures with updates. You will not be disappointed when using Faith for your sitter services. Her dog is super sweet and played with Cooper as if they had known each for years. Faith might just be the best sitter I've used on this site.”

“Bella seemed to really enjoy her boarding with Tyra. She got along well with her dogs and I think she was actually smiling in the pictures that Tyra sent. I am confident that Bella was happy and well taken care of. The treats Tyra gave to me and Bella were a nice touch and were very much appreciated. Thank you! We will definitely be repeat customers.”

“Ro took great care of our husky boys! She treated them just like her own, sent frequent updates and pictures, and has a great beautiful fenced in yard to help get the energy out. The boys enjoyed the dog pool and came back to us with little energy left because they had so much fun. We definitely recommend Ro and will forever use her as our dog sitter. Thank you again! ???”

“Judy is wonderful and very patient with Sammy who can be a handful! We really appreciate her and are comforted knowing he’s well cared for when he’s with her.”

About: I consider myself a nurturer-by-nature: ever since I was young I’ve felt a special, undeniable bond with animals and, in particular, dogs. I love getting to know each pup’s personality and what makes them tick, ensuring they feel comfortable, and their owner can rest knowing their canine best friend is in good hands. When you schedule a service with me, your pet is my priority. Rest assured that they’ll receive the upmost attention and engagement. Nothing is worse than feeling as though your pet is lonely or bored when you’re away. I’m here to give your companion the love they deserve! When your pet stays with me they become a part of my pack. Regular potty breaks, walks, plenty of fresh water and treats, snuggles and back-scratches: I want your pup to feel at home, away from home.

“Starla was amazing! Will definitely use her again. My baby Twinkle had the time of her life. Starla is amazing with communication, sent daily pics and videos. Definitely the best! Thank you so much 🩷😊”

“This was the first time we left our dog with Stephanie and Matthew and it was for a 5-night stay, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Because we were away, we were naturally a bit nervous, but they made us feel completely at ease. From the very beginning, the environment was incredibly warm, welcoming, clean and spacious, giving our dog plenty of room to feel right at home. It was clear from the daily updates that Ollie was receiving top-notch care and exercise every single day. We loved getting the pictures and comments daily—it truly brightened our trip and showed us just how well cared for and happy our dog was. We will absolutely be booking again. Thank you for treating Ollie like family!”

Gina J.

“She took amazing care of my dog over the span of two days, sent me pictures regularly of her, and I could tell give her plenty of love. When I dropped her off the bed in her kennel was pretty ripped up and the stuffing was everywhere. When I got it back, she had sewn it shut and put all the stuffing back in. Going above and beyond would be an understatement. Highly recommend.”

Zach W.

“Maria was great, very communicative and sent lots of pictures of my pups stay. Olive seemed very well cared for and happy when I picked her up, always a great sign!”

Christina F.

“I am so glad we found Karrington and Fish! I had to leave town last minute, and she was kind enough to take Jax in. I was thankful for the updates and photos she sent me. Jax was happy and relaxed when we brought him home, and I definitely would send Jax back to them again for boarding. Thank you!”

Shannon R.

“Theresa was amazing! Kept me updated throughout my pups stay with pictures daily and she was making sure he was enriched with lots of playtime and kept him cool in the kiddie pool. Made him feel loved and included in the family instead of stowed away by himself. 100% will be hiring her for future trips!”

Travis C.

“We are so glad to have found Isabel! Both our dogs had a wonderful time with her family, her dogs, and other guests while we were out of town for a week. She kept us updated and sent many photos to our delight. We trust her and feel comfortable leaving our dogs with her. Highly recommend!”

Tiffany K.

“Alex was great with Lucy. He kept me updated throughout the week. When I picked Lucy up she looked so happy! I will definitely reach out to Alex again!”

About: I treat every dog like family—lots of love, attention, and a routine that keeps them comfortable and stress-free. I have experience with both energetic puppies (helping reinforce potty training, basic commands, and structure) and senior dogs who need a little extra care, patience, and sometimes medication support. I’m very attentive and pick up quickly on each dog’s personality and needs. Plus, I keep you updated with pictures and check-ins so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing! Pet care is intentionally built into my daily and weekly schedule so I can provide consistent, high-quality attention without ever feeling rushed. I block off time specifically for each pet to ensure they receive the care, exercise, and interaction they’re used to at home. My routine is designed to prioritize reliability, flexibility, and a calm, structured environment—so your dog experiences stability, not disruption. I provide care that keeps your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible, whether in my home or yours. In your home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, including medications. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets receive plenty of attention, supervised care, and a calm routine. I’m mindful of each dog’s personality—whether they need more activity, structure, or a quieter setting. My goal is always the same: your pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
