He stays on his schedule and loves spending time with him. It gives us such a peace of mind knowing he is safe, comfortable and having fun while we’re out of town. We are so grateful we found Dan and Xello does not have go to back to traditional boarding that we all dreaded. Xello will be back to Dan’s again shortly.”

We will definitely be booking her again in the future. Thank you Brittany!!”
About: I currently have 2 dogs and 3 cats, and I have had fur babies my whole life. I currently work part-time at a doggy daycare, and take care of about 100+ dogs a day. I also have had experience dog sitting as well as cat sitting in the past! I work part-time currently, but am cutting back on my hours, so I will be available a lot of the time to care for puppies and not so puppies and even cats. I also am on summer break until August from school, so that isn’t a factor either. Currently I spend a lot of time playing with my own pups at home, but we also have them crate trained, and e-collar trained, so that is something that I am completely comfortable with if that is something you have in your home!

About: Hi! My name is Imelda and I’ve had all sorts of pets most of my life from Dogs and Cats to Guinea Pigs, Bunnies, Fish and Birds! I’m a big animal lover and a volunteer transporter for a Carolina Waterfowl Rescue. For me all of my fur babies ARE my children and they know it. I have experience in administering medication orally to dogs, rabbits and Guinea Pigs. I have two dogs Chief (11) and Sofie (3). They are Chihuahua Mixes and get along great with MOST dogs (a meet and greet is important). I have a large fenced in yard with a walking trail in my neighborhood. Your babies will be allowed on the couch and free to make themselves as comfortable as they would at home. I’ve cared for Pets of friends and family for several years. Now that I work from home 100% of the time, I look forward to making new fur friends! We also have 2 guinea pigs Tiny and Theodore that are kept in a my daughter’s room closed off. I do ask for vaccinations to be up to date and records provided as I would like all fur babies that come into my home to always be safe and protected. I currently work remote full-time so I will be available for all of your babies play and bathroom needs! Working from home also allows me to administer any medication that is needed at specific times. I have a fenced yard at my apartment and there is also a dog park at the complex as well so your pup will get plenty of exercise!
About: I currently have 4 husky pups that are very well socialized and would love more friends to play with. I also work with rescue groups to help pups in need. I have never met a pup I didn’t love! I currently work from home. Your pet will hardly be in a create and will be treated just like one of mine. Many potty breaks throughout the day. I often get on the floor and play so they know I am part of the pack. Toys? Well let’s just say there is not a shortage of toys in the house. Every room we visit has a “toy box”. Treats? No shortage of those here either but, I like to make them earn them - like enforcing commands they already know and rewarding them for going potty. I have almost a half acre with a fully fenced in back yard. Your pet will go out multiple times a day. I also foster and rescue pups so I am very good with socializing new pups with mine. They have previously lived with smaller pups such as a Jack Russell and Yorkie and they loved them to pieces. They also attend “daycare” and “overnight camp” in order to keep them socialized. I also feel like meet and greets are important to ensure your pup(s) interact well with mine. Safety is my number one concern. As I have stated mine are well socialized and I want nothing more to help others socialize theirs as well. Safety is a top priority in my home. I do accept puppies you well you just need to message me separately is we can discuss. My yard is fully fenced in and almost a 1/2 acre. I stop my work day to play fetch it for them for about an hour.
“We booked two daycare visits with Chelsea with short notice. She came back both days SUPER tired from playing with Jack. It sounds like everything went smoothly, and we're happy to have found Chelesa to look after Remi for us! We're confident and comfortable leaving Remi with Chelsea the next time we need it!”

About: I have always loved dogs. And I’ve Had Dog For About 15 Years Now. I Am Also Petsitting My Friends Doggies At Times. My House Is Ready To Receive Doggies With Plenty Of Toys And Places To Lounge. I Have A Fully Fenced Yard Where They Can Run And Play As They Need. Currently in between jobs so available any day for day care or boarding. I am in the house most of the day and love to be on my front porch watching my dog in the yard. I have a fully fence front and back yard. Usually only in the front yard. I have gates I can open or close to go in the back yard. My office is the doggies bedroom as well where I have my dog’s crate (she only spends the night in her crate) and an extra crate for small/medium dog. My cat roams free in the house but has a shelf by the window to be alone when my dog bothers him! Ahah We love to play and create new enrichment activities and work on basic commands or learn new tricks. My dog went to a puppy school and day care so she is socialized with other dogs of any sizes.

About: Hi there! I am a loving, active dog sitter with years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes—from energetic little pups to gentle giants. Dogs aren't just pets for me; I love "working" with them, playing brain games, and practicing fun tricks to keep them happy and engaged. I have my own beloved 13-year-old female White Swiss Shepherd. Because my sweet senior lady is getting older, I'm not ready to bring a new dog permanently into my life just yet—but I have so much love to give, which is why I would love to help you out with yours! My Home & Routine: Always Supervised: I work from home, meaning your dog will have constant company, plenty of bathroom breaks, and endless attention. The Yard: I have a great garden for fresh air and stretching legs. Please note: It is currently unfenced, so I always supervise outdoor time and use long training leashes for safety. Special Care: Because of my experience with my own senior dog, I am completely comfortable and experienced with administering medication if your dog needs it. What I am looking for: Since I have kids, it is very important for me that your pup is fully comfortable and friendly with kids. I can't wait to treat your dog like a member of my own family! As a long-time Rover user, I know exactly what goes into providing excellent care. To give you peace of mind, I would be happy to meet you before you book! And! As a photographer, I also offer a mini-photoshoot for your dog—in addition to the regular updates and photos. I am always at home. Our children are at daycare during the day. But they are already looking forward to playing and cuddling with your dogs and my husband works from home. I have a garden, but no fence. Your dog is free to roam throughout the house. I will go for three walks: in the morning, at noon, and in the evening. If it is very warm at midday, I extend morning and evening walks so that your dog doesn't burn their paws. Our dog will be kept separate from yours.

“Melanie is fantastic! She was professional, yet personable. Her care for our puppy was impeccable. She was in constant contact with us and updated us throughout the day, so we felt very secure in leaving him with her. We will absolutely go to Melanie anytime!”

“Heather was so kind to watch my pups on short notice, and I highly recommend her!!! She had great communication, was super nice, and kept me updated in detail about how they were doing. Your pups will be in great hands with her, can’t wait to book again!!”

Sarah was incredibly responsive and sent us pictures and updates throughout his time with her. We really appreciate her accommodating our last minute day care request and highly reccomend her!”

“I have never left my 8-year old beagle, Cody with anyone other than immediate family, and I couldn't have been happier of the way Karlee and her dogs "kept a good eye" on Cody. Karlee got to experience how much of a cuddler Cody is, and it gave him a much-needed opportunity to interact with other dogs, especially dogs that are bigger. Karlee is a very "upbeat" and positive person, and a real dog lover, so I would recommend her to anyone in the Charlotte area.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover based on a 10-acre homestead in Pageland, SC. I specialize in structured, safe boarding with supervised outdoor time and secure indoor accommodations. We have a brand-new 6-foot wooden privacy fence enclosing our backyard, providing a secure area for dogs to exercise, stretch, and explore during supervised potty breaks and play sessions. Guests stay in our large climate-controlled sunroom outfitted with seven kennels, giving each dog their own secure space to rest comfortably between outdoor time, meals, and enrichment. Crate rotation and routine breaks are built into our daily schedule, ensuring dogs have consistency and predictability. Crate & House Access Policy • Crating is standard when we are away or sleeping, and during rest periods. • Potty breaks are offered approximately every 2 hours during waking hours. • For older, calm, fully house-trained, non-destructive, and cat-friendly dogs, free-roam house access may be considered on a case-by-case basis with owner request and compatibility assessment. • Dogs with separation anxiety, destructive tendencies, or unsafe habits (counter-surfing, door-bolting, etc.) will remain on our structured crate schedule for their safety. Experience & Approach I’ve owned and cared for everything from hedgehogs and geckos to chickens, horses, and working-breed dogs. I’m comfortable with: • Medication administration (oral or topical) • Senior dogs • Puppies & house-training stages • Reactive or shy personalities • High-energy dogs who require clear routines • Multi-dog coexistence and safe rotations My husband runs his own business and is home most of the time, ensuring someone is almost always present for supervision, potty break intervals, and routine care. I am home evenings and weekends, and we work together to provide structure, security, and consistent monitoring. What You Can Expect • Individual crate spaces (no shared kennels) • 6-ft fully fenced private yard • Consistent potty break schedule (≈ every 2 hours) • Supervised outdoor time only • Optional house freedom only if fully compatible • Daily updates, photos, and communication We focus on safe, predictable, and tailored care based on each dog’s needs and the comfort level of their owner. Whether a pup thrives with structured crate rest or enjoys calm, supervised sunroom naps, we tailor stays responsibly rather than one-size-fits-all. I work full-time as an insurance producer in Monroe, NC from 8–5, Monday through Friday. I’m home all day on weekends, and during the week, my husband is at our homestead full-time and helps provide care and supervision. Since we work as a team, your pets will never be left alone for long periods. I’m also available for morning or evening drop-ins and walks depending on location and schedule! We live on a peaceful 10-acre homestead. We do not allow free play with other pets - so you know that your furry friend is safe and sound the entire stay! They will have supervised playtime with other pups from the same household, or with just our staff! Our top priority is a safe stay.

About: My experience comes from owning my own pets (goats,chickens,ducks,dogs,cats,bunnies,guinea pigs,hamsters) and petsitting (yes, even even horses, pigs, snakes and bugs). In previous years, I fostered for countless animal rescue groups and shelters, whether it was just volunteering or fostering puppies or senior dogs in need. I currently own a pitbull/lab rescue, Cali, who I trust with few people. I completely understand the anxiety when it comes to trusting someone new to watch over your pup. This is why I prioritize communication, forming relationships with both pets and parents, sending frequent updates and paying close attention to details/routines provided to me. After each visit, you can always expect to find water bowls to be clean and full, leashes hung up and everything just as you left it except this time with a happy and tired pup! Please reach out with as many questions as you'd like, I look forward to hearing from you! I have a dog of my own, so pet care is already built into my routine and something I look forward to everyday. I'm also available for last minute needs and do my best to be as flexible as possible as I understand plans can change :) How I care for your pet depends entirely on the instructions you give me, I strive to follow your directions as closely as possible to ensure you, your pet and myself all have a great experience that is as similar as can be to your routine with them. With that being said, each pet I care for is treated as my own and will have my full attention when I am with them.

About: My family owned dogs and cats all my life. Once I got old enough to take on responsibility, I started feeding, bathing, walking, and cleaning up after my pets. I love pets of all kind and I've owned dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and guinea pigs. I currently have 8 dogs of my own which are 7 American bullies and one Boston Terrier (Abel, Nyx, Hella, Cash, Holly, Buckshot, Zarah, and Maddie) a gecko named Leroy, and a baby quaker parrot, named Sully. I am very familiar and comfortable with all size of dogs as I have owned so many different breeds over the years. From Great danes to small dogs.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I currently have an almost 3-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer, a German Shepherd, and a rescue pit bull, so I’m very comfortable handling active, strong, and high-energy dogs. In addition to my own dogs, I’ve cared for friends’ dogs and cats many times, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to keep our pets on their routine and give them attention, patience, and a safe environment. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I am available in the mornings before work, during my lunch break, and after work in the evenings, which allows me to provide consistent drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and playtime. I also have more flexibility on weekends, which gives me the ability to take on longer visits or additional care if needed. I’m able to stay organized and reliable with my schedule, making sure each pet gets dependable attention and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, and any specific care preferences the owner provides. I make sure each pet gets attention, playtime, and comfort so they feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home clean and respected, making sure everything is left as I found it. I give regular updates so clients know how their pets are doing and can feel confident they are being well cared for.

“I am so happy to have found Melanie. She is a true dog lover and took amazing care of my dogs. She is a wonderful, warm-hearted , extra special person that gave my pets so much love and special attention! She always kept me informed of their activities! I definitely recommend her!”

About: My Boxer, Bailey, loves having friends over to play. Pet owner my entire life. I try to anticipate pet's needs and keep them busy and happy. Your pet/pets will be a part of our family for a few days. My teenaged son will assist with your pet's care. I have crates in the guest area if your pet needs quiet time. Our dog will remain outside if needed for the care of your pet. I have cared for hamsters and fish as well as dogs and cats. My family is allergic to cats, but I can check in on your cat in your home. I can walk your pet individually after they play with my dog. I can administer medications and have a separate sleeping area for your pets with or without a crate. My family and I are available to be with your pet in our home setting. Your pets will have a separate room with or without a crate during any short errands that I may need to run. My teenaged son will assist with the care of your pet/pets. Your pets will have individual attention during part of the day with walks on my quiet neighborhood circle. Feeding time will be individual as well. They will enjoy play with my dog during supervised play time in my fenced back yard.
About: I have owned/cared for cats for as long as I can remember. I am currently an owner of 3 cats and 1 dog and have tons of experience caring for cats/dogs of family and friends. I genuinely love spending time with animals and giving them the attention/affection they need. I have experience with exercising, feeding, giving medication, and administering first aid to pets. I am a stay-at-home husband (and soon to be father) so my schedule is extremely flexible and I have reliable transportation. I’m available weekends and weekdays including evenings. My own pup is high energy/high anxiety (but he absolutely loves other dogs!) so I can understand that every pet has individualized needs. I am happy to work with any owner on a case by case basis to determine what works best for their pet. I can do home visits or could potentially house pets at my residence. We have a large backyard sitting on about 8 acres of land. Dogs love it here!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10 years old. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I truly love animals and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time during the week to care for and play with your pups. Can't wait to become your pet's bestfriend!!!! I’m comfortable going to your home to care for your pet. I always make sure your furry friend feels safe and loved in their own space. I follow instructions carefully and treat every pet like family.
About: Hello and thank you for viewing my profile! I am a life-long animal lover who would love to provide care for your furry friends! I am well educated and highly experienced in raising, training, and the overall caring for dogs (along with a variety of other animals, ranging everywhere from pet rabbits to snakes lol). My love for animals began at a very early age when my mother started up her own small, in-home dog boarding and grooming business. My childhood was spent playing with, learning about and caring for dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities. Im so grateful for having had the privilege of growing up in such an animal loving environment, which undoubtedly played an immense role in shaping me into the total animal lover I am :) My main passion in life is caring for and spending time with *man’s best friend* <3 I am responsible, reliable, and dedicated. I am also comfortable with administering medications and assisting animals with disabilities. I am currently a part time student trying to earn a little side income doing something I truly enjoy and have a genuine passion for. I do not have any children and currently am not working, so I can devote as much time as possible for caring for your pets :) I’m available literally any time –day or night! This past year I moved to an apartment, so unfortunately am no longer able to sit or board pets in my home :( Luckily (?) I have a terrifying amount of free time lol so I’m basically available any time to take care of your fur baby(ies). I offer check-in visits, dog walking, pet sitting, as well as overnight/extended dog and house sitting.

About: I've lived with and loved all animals since I was tiny, and have a special gift for non-verbal communication with critters. My experience includes our own mini-farm, working my aunt's petting zoo, interning at a therapeutic riding program, and most recently at working at Project2Heal for the past year. In addition to traditional kennel duties of feeding, cleaning, etc, I helped whelp Lab puppies, monitored their health, provided ENS (early neurological stimulation), introduced puppies to water, bathing, basic obedience, obstacles, field trips, etc. I also worked, played with, and took mature dogs on field trips. I also still work with my aunt's mini Aussies, providing basic obedience training and play. I am very kind, relate well to dogs but stern when needed, and follow instructions well.
About: Hello, We're Kayla & Jenna. We met 3 years ago at a previous job training service dogs and breeding Labrador retrievers. We quickly formed an instant friendship and have remained close ever since. With our friendship surrounded by our deep passion and love for dogs, we decided to open up our business together training and caring for dogs. We have both been working with dogs for 10+ years each, along with working with puppies at 3 days old to dogs with reactivity. Jenna and I each specialize in reactivity, puppies, and basic obedience. With our hands on experience and background in several different training seminars, we have the ability to custom tailor our training programs to clients needs and wants. Jenna is also an AKC evaluator! We firmly believe every dog is unique and should be treated as such! • Drop off/pick up times: our drop off & pick up times are between 8am and 8pm. Please plan to be on time as we try to run on a schedule around dropoff/pickup times to make things easier for everybody. •Meet & greet: we are happy to have you & your pups come by for a meet & greet! For safety reasons, we don't allow new dogs to meet boarding dogs. We can go over any questions you may have about your dogs staying here & see where they'll be staying at night in the dog room. If you have any questions before your pups stay or would like to do a meet & greet, feel free to reach out & we would love to accommodate. We are both familiar with different dog breeds & can accommodate for behavioral issues! We are lucky enough for this to be our full-time job, so we are available all day to care for your pets! We enjoy meeting new dogs every week & getting to talk with clients about their training needs if necessary. DOGS MUST BE CRATE TRAINED We have a dog room where all the dogs sleep at night in their own separate crates, we have all pups sleep in a crate at night so everybody gets a good night's sleep & as a safety precaution. We have a huge fenced-in backyard for the dogs to play in during the day. We look forward to playing fetch with new friends or just relaxing outside on our screened-in back porch. We also bring out the kiddie pool in the summertime for the dogs to enjoy!
