*Use Promo Code: ALECS30986 for $20 off your first booking! Hello! We're Nikki and Alec and we recently relocated from Charlotte to Gastonia! We currently work from home and with the extra time we have we love exploring work with animals. Together we've had 3 dogs growing up and cared for them for 10+ years. This established our love for pets. We believe in having clear communication with you in order to establish the best way to care for your pets. No matter your needs your fur baby will be in good hands and treated as if they were our own. We're currently working from home so our schedule is very flexible. Weekends are also super flexible and I can be available whenever for you. :) We live in a house with a .8 acre lot so we have plenty of room for your dog or cat to explore!

Nikki and Alec took amazing care of our Charlie. They were amazing with communication, photos, and updates. Charlie got lots of walks, time outside, playtime, cuddles, and belly rubs. We’re already planning to book with them again for a trip in a few months. Highly recommend!

Nikki and Alec were awesome! They were very communicative, sent several pictures and updates, and took our dog on several walks. We can’t wait to book with them again!

Nikki, Alec and their adorable pooch were warm and welcoming. The communication and pictures were so very much appreciated as this was our first Rover experience in this area, and we were stepping out on faith. Bailey had a great daycare experience, with the perfect combination of play and rest. We plan to send him back again.

Nikki and Alec were absolutely wonderful with my dog! They were very communicative from start to finish, keeping me updated with messages and photos that really put my mind at ease. Their patience and kindness showed in how comfortable and happy my dog was with them. It’s clear they genuinely care about the pets they watch, treating them like their own. I would definitely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters!

Thank you so much for taking care of Elvis today. I can tell he really enjoyed spending time with Enzo. You were so kind and patient with him, and I truly appreciate it. I’ll definitely be bringing Elvis back to you again.
