“Susan and her family were great with Raven. Her girls played games with her and they all gave her a lot of love😍Susan sent lots of pictures and videos also. I would definitely use her again!”
“John was amazing with my pup! He could tell he immediately felt comfortable with John. I got lots of updates and some awesome pictures. Will definitely be using John again to take care of my dog! Thank you so much.”
“I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Amelia and Grant were absolutely amazing. I was a little nervous since our pup can be anxious when we leave him, but from the very start they made my husband and me feel so comfortable — and more importantly, they spoiled our pup with so much love and care! We can’t recommend them enough!”
“I’m very pleased with Louie’s visit with Kathy. It was definitely a relief to be able to leave my sweet boy with someone I knew would take great care of him. The video and pictures I received during Louie’s visit let me see just how much fun he was having! Thanks again Kathy?”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. I have experience with dogs that need unique care. My own dog was deaf. I also regularly care for a dog that has quite a few allergies and requires regular attention. I’m very patient and love having animals around. Here to make sure your pet is happy, healthy and safe! I currently work in a hybrid environment so I have a lot of time at home. My schedule can also be flexible and there is a green space nearby to ensure your dog has space to run. I’ve cared for pets in my home and others. I like to provide a safe comfortable environment where pets can feel at home while away from their families. Happy to take care of any pets with unique needs as well. Can administers medication and any special dietary requirements.
“This was my first time using Rover. Nikki and Alec exceeded my expectations! Lots of updates and pictures. Mav was happy the entire time and was well taken care of. I highly recommend booking with them when you’re in need of someone to take great care of your dog! Will definitely be a returning customer.”

“Joselyn was incredible! She took the time to get to know both my pup and me, and from the very beginning, I felt like his needs were genuinely being considered. She was so sweet and caring, sent lots of pictures, and her positive attitude truly set her apart. My dog came home calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!! 100% recommend!”
“Courtney took great care of our 2 dogs for a 10 day vacation. She was very attentive and sent daily pictures/updates. Definitely would recommend and will rebooking with her in the future!”
“Jerrel was super easy going, professional and communication with him was smooth! Phoebe enjoyed her stay and will miss all the fun she had with her new best furriends :) We plan to be repeat clients in the future!”
“Inisha was great! I could tell that she and Sir Cam had a great time together. Her updates were meaningful and I appreciated the daily photos. Her home was clean and inviting. Sir Cam was returned to me better than I dropped him off. I will be booking with Inisha again.”
About: Our family has a dauschaund for 15 years that passed in August. She was provided so much love and care. I'm not afraid to help feel meds to your pup to keep them happy and healthy. We now have two pomeranian/ chihuahua mixes. One is about half way through his training to be a service dog and hopefully a therapy dog. He loves learning and putting that work vest on. His sister is a year younger and lives to play and snuggle. We loved boarding our friends dog, and both Rupert and Mabel get along with their pup friends. And they all love running around our fully fenced backyard. Our family has also had cats off and on for over 20 years. While I know they are laid back and are happy with an empty litter box and a full food bowl, they like getting the extra love and attention to. So whether it's with a toy on a stick, balls on the ground, or even some gentle pets they need love while your away also. I would love to help care for your four legged family member. While in my care, they would be treated like one of the family. I currently work part-time from home. I would be available to help your four legged family member before 7am and after 12 noon. The only other thing that keeps me busy is the training with Rupert, and playing and snuggling with Mabel, but it's flexible. I am asking to care for smaller dogs only because of some medical restrictions. With a small dog I will have no problem walking them, cleaning up after them, and crating if needed. But most of all I will be able to play with them to help burn off energy.
“This was my first experience with Rover and I was very pleased. I was able to enjoy some vacation time and not worry about my dog. Kendra provided excellent updates with how he was doing throughout his stay. Would definitely recommend and use her again.”
“Kimberly too excellent care of our Scooter while we were away. I was apprehensive about leaving him as this was the first time in 12 years that we have boarded him. Kimberly sent pics often and spoiled him so much! Highly recommend her.”

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Gastonia home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Gastonia.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Gastonia sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
