Dog Boarding in Gastonia

About: What sets me apart is my ability to take pet care seriously without taking myself too seriously. I’m patient, observant, calm, and respectful of routines. I’m especially great with independent pets, seniors, shy animals, and anyone who needs a gentle, steady presence rather than chaos. I’m naturally nurturing, detail-oriented, and calm. I believe animals deserve consistency, patience, and kindness. I’m the type of person who talks to pets like they understand (because… they do), celebrates small wins like a voluntary cuddle, and never rushes trust. I take pride in being reliable, warm, and easy to work with. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule intentionally, allowing time for feedings, check-ins, play, and quiet companionship. I’m consistent, punctual, and flexible, and I never treat pet care like an afterthought. Its something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I treat every home and pet with respect and care. I follow instructions closely, double-check doors and routines, and keep environments calm and secure. I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and your pet’s comfort at all times. Trust matters to me! Both yours and your pet’s and I work to earn it every visit.

“Sofie enjoyed her stay with Ronnie and his family! We received pictures of her at play and at rest so we knew she was taken care of and settling in. She took a nice deep nap once home which tells me she had a great time. We found Ronnie by chance before an upcoming spontaneous vacation and are thankful he was able to be flexible with the meet & greet next day as well as the sitting starting a few days out. Thanks for welcoming her into your home, and extending her stay another night with ease. We trust you with Sofie and that gives us peace of mind.”

“Susan was absolutely wonderful! She sent us numerous videos and pictures of the dogs each evening and even got them a Christmas present! The dogs really seemed to have lots of fun running around in her big fenced yard and they also loved her daughters! We were so glad we did not have to worry about Maggie and Minnie during our cruise!”

“Leigh is the furfect sitter for our boy! She is incredibly flexible and responds to messages right away. Our original pet sitter canceled on the day of our booking, and we had to find someone last minute. We’re so thankful that Leigh replied immediately and was able to help us out. From the moment our boy arrived at her place, he felt comfortable and happy and he didn’t hesitate at all to start playing in her yard, which really showed us what a kind and welcoming person she is. Leigh kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed the schedule we provided perfectly and made sure he got lots of playtime and attention. Knowing that our boy was having fun and being well cared for made us feel completely at ease. We would absolutely book Leigh again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter!”

“Jessica was great! Extremely responsive and sent so many pics and videos. I could tell my pup was having so much fun with her pups and was very well taken care of.”

“This was our 1st time ever using the app and Laura was amazing with our kitties. I will definitely be using her again and recommend her 100% without worry that our fur babies would get nothing but the best love and attention that they need. She sent picture and videos everyday with updates on how they were doing. It was a great relief to know that we chose the best person to take care of kitties during our vacation.”

“Biggie and our pack just moved cross-country and needed a last-minute sitter for him while we viewed some homes. Jennifer and Matthew were fantastic, and so kind. They promised to take care introducing him to their kids and another dog, kept communication open, and sent photos that showed how happy he was running and playing. As much as I missed him, I can tell he had a blast with them. We look forward to the next visit, thank you both for making our first Rover experience in NC such a good one.”

“Brad sent me lots of pictures of my pups having fun with Brad, his wife, and their two pups. I think they were having more fun than I was having while I was out of town. I recommend Brad and would definitely use him again!”

About: Pet sitting in my home has been a dream come true! I have countless years experience caring for dogs and communicating with their owners. I met my husband while managing a boarding kennel in the mountains. I have professional training administering all basic (and not so basic) needs and structure to ensure your pet feels safe and loved while in my care. I welcome puppies and am happy to work on potty training while in my care! I am also an approved foster for several local dog rescues and I usually host puppies - so far they have all left for their new homes potty and crate trained. Your pets will be treated like our own dogs - family! I also provide a clean environment with regular yard waste pick ups throughout the day. No poopy paws here! I am available for drop offs and pick ups 7 days a week between the hours of 8am and 8pm. Earlier drops offs can be arranged beforehand if needed for traveling purposes. For the safety of my family (and your own), I do prefer Meet and Greets before boarding. As well as, current shot records for Bordetella, Distemper and Rabies. I am a stay at home mom and pet care is literally my daily life - our two dogs have their daily routines that naturally fit into my life as a mom. My children (ages 4, 7 and 9) also know how to both love and respect dogs in our care. We spend most of our time in our 3 acre yard playing and exploring our woods. I have a 4' fenced in backyard and live on a dead end road - a very safe neighborhood for kids and dogs alike! I am home 24/7 other than the occasional errand. Pets will always be securely separated when not being supervised.

“We were incredibly pleased with the level of care Brittnye & Matthew and their kids provided to Sophie during her week’s stay with them. Boarding your pet can be stressful but they really made it easy! Brittnye sent pictures of her playing with their 2 dogs and their kids, sleeping, eating and going for walks every day if our vacation. We do like looked forward to getting those texts and pictures letting us know how she was doing. We will refer them to other friends looking for excellent sitters for their dogs and we will use them again!!”

“William did an awesome job keeping Marlee. This was our experience using Rover. We appreciated the pictures and the updates. Marlee was well taken care of during our time away.”

“Katie was amazing with our girl Mocha. She was very flexible as our boarding dates changed a few days before the booking, moving the dates over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. She also shared several photos and videos throughout the visit. This was our first time using Rover and have been reassured about our decision to choose Katie! Thank you!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with puppies, including basic training reinforcement, potty routines, and high-energy play, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication support, or extra patience and comfort. I’m reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. Because I’m organized and reliable, I’m able to stick closely to pets’ normal routines, which helps them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible, whether they’re in my home or in their own. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I keep a clean, safe environment and closely monitor each pet’s behavior, comfort, and needs. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“Audrey was a great setter. She was so nice and great with the updates. I could tell that my dog Coco loved her. Coco was so happy to come home. But not before saying goodbye to Audrey. So knowing that Coco loved Audrey. Was the best feeling and knowing that Coco felt safe. Was a good feeling. If i need a setter again i would not second guess asking Audrey again.”

“Tina took amazing care of my dog, Robin, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Tina made sure to keep me updated daily with pictures and videos, which was incredibly reassuring. Robin, who is usually shy and nervous around new people, warmed up to Tina surprisingly quickly. It was clear that Tina was patient and gentle, as Robin soon became happy and playful under her care. Tina’s dedication and love for animals really stood out, and I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Robin and I are both so grateful for her!”
