“Carol was friendly and easy to work with. She was great at communicating about the booking, expectations, etc. My pup requires medication, special food, etc. and I felt great leaving him with Carol. Max came home relaxed and with much better energy/mood than after a boarding facility. 10/10, would work with Carol again!”
“This is the first time we have left our 13 year old rescue dog with someone outside of our family as she can be timid around new people. Katherine and her family were wonderful hosts, making her completely comfortable and feeling loved. Katherine communicated regularly with updates and photos. Our dog, Vera, was snuggling up with Katherine’s family and running around outside. Would definitely recommend!”
“Mara is the best dog sitter we ever had! We will definitely going to bring our puppy back to her! Our doggy loves running and playing around in her big garden. She also sent us photos while we were on our holiday!”
“Lauren was wonderful with my dog! I could tell he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands.”
“Sarah was amazing! I am very skeptical leaving my dogs with other people because they can be a handful, but Sarah made sure I felt comfortable being very responsive and sent pictures/videos along the way! She had a huge fenced in back yard for my high energy puppy to run around in and even part of her fence could be blocked off for my senior dog if need be. She was also very flexible with me as my timing to pick them up changed, since I was coming from out of town.”
About: What sets me apart is the deep, lifelong connection I’ve had with dogs. I’ve personally raised three pups from just six weeks old all the way through their senior years. Each one grew into a loving, obedient, and well-mannered companion, and I’ve been through every stage of life with them—from puppy energy to senior snuggles. That experience has given me a strong understanding of how to care for dogs at any age, whether it’s gentle patience with a new pup or extra comfort and support for older dogs. This is a truly dog-friendly home where your pet will feel like family. I have three kind and respectful kids who absolutely adore dogs and are always excited to welcome new furry friends into our home. Whether your pup loves to play, nap, or just follow someone around all day, there’s a warm spot (and probably a willing lap) waiting for them here. I don’t just watch dogs—I care for them as if they were my own. 🐾 Hi! I’m a school social worker with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District, and caring for others—whether it’s students or furry friends—has always been second nature to me. I’ve had a dog in my life since I was a teenager, and I truly believe dogs are one of the most perfect, loving animals on this earth. 💛 Over the years, I’ve trained dogs to go potty outside, sit, stay, lay down, heel on walks, and even speak when it’s treat time (a favorite trick in our house!). I’ve also raised multiple dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, so I’m comfortable with dogs at all life stages and energy levels. This is a dog-loving home, through and through. I have three kids who are gentle, kind, and absolutely adore dogs. There’s always a cozy corner, a warm cuddle, and plenty of love waiting for your pup here. Whether they want to play, nap, go on walks, or just soak up some attention, your dog will be treated like one of the family I do not have a fence in yard but it is partially fenced in. I do have a dog lead and I will always be outside
“Christal was quick to respond and very communicative while my pup was with her family! Lots of love and cuddles were given and my pup came home tired and happy! I hope we can board with Christal again!”
“Annie was great. She sent several pictures and updates on Gandalf every day. Her home was very safe for our cat and she is definitely "tuned in" for knowing or figuring out how to engage with a cat for exercise and play time. We will definitely be back to Annie for our cat boarding needs. Thanks Annie!”
“Our sweet doggies had a great time staying with Christy and her family! We have a German Shepherd mix and a Great Pyrenees that were given tons of love and attention during their whole stay. We really loved the frequent updates and hearing about how much her kids enjoyed spending time with our puppers. We’re looking forward to booking again! :)”
“Our senior dog, Watson, has stayed with Molly and her family twice now and we LOVE working with her! She's a fantastic and responsive communicator who sends lots of pictures. Pick-up and drop-off have always been a breeze (even when we had a flight delay that set us a bit off schedule!). They do a great job giving Watson his medicine (daily pills and eye ointment). Most importantly, it is clear to us that Watson loves visiting Molly & her family! He always comes home to us happy and healthy, if a little tired from all the excitement. :-)”
“This was Izzy's second time staying with Daniel. Once again, he did a wonderful job taking care of her and providing her with a calm and safe place to relax. She was so happy to see him. I also loved receiving updates throughout the day and photos of Izzy!”
“SUSANNE IS THE BEST!! She kept our sweet, but incredibly stubborn shih tzu at her home and took the best care of him! She really wanted to get to know him and his million quirks, and she provided him with a peaceful, comfortable, and loving place to call home for a week. She kept us updated with allll the photos and happenings which helped ease our minds since we hadn't ever boarded him anywhere before (I wasn't sure he'd want to come home!). Stop your search and contact Susanne!”
“Highly recommend. Best dog sitters. Dominique and Peter take really great care of our dog. When I approach their home, my dog is wagging his tail. Thank you, Dominique and Peter, for looking after our Jacques as if he was your own family member.”
“Second time for Leo to stay with Clayton, great experience again! Lots of feedback and updates, Leo had a great time and was well cared for. Looking forward to using Clayton again!”
“Our dog loved his stay with Kris! She was warm and welcoming and he immediately felt at ease with her. And, he loved her dog too! My husband and I felt very comfortable leaving him there. Kris was great sending us updates and sending us lots of pictures and videos. Our dog got lots of outdoor time and rest time too! We could tell he was well taken care of and he was enjoying his time with Kris. We would definitely love for her to watch our dog again!”
“Leaving Apollo with Shalyn was one of the best things I’ve done! She was always very proactive communicative and Apollo seem to have a fantastic time:) Definitely looking to book for other times i need to leave my furbaby behind. I know he will always be well looked after at her home! 🙏🏼❤️”
“We absolutely love Laura, have used her several times and our sweet Lola loves her and Bleau like family! Have always felt comfortable leaving her with Laura and she is always super flexible when we need to change plans. Highly recommended!”

Alec and Jenna took SUCH good care of our pups!!!! They watched them for a week and we never had to worry about them! We received lots of updates everyday and it felt like they were on vacation too 😂 multiple walks a day and tons of play time. We will definitely book them again in the future! Thanks so much for loving our pups like they were your own ❤️
Mariam and Ken are wonderful with our pup! He has stayed there twice now and we can’t be happier. They communicate regularly and take such good care of our dog. He’s exhausted from walks and playing when we pick him up which is a great thing!! 😊. He’ll be there again in a few weeks. Every time we have to go out of town, we look them up!
Diana was absolutely amazing! From the moment we met, I could tell she truly cared about dogs and treated mine like her own. She was punctual, attentive, and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog came back happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I can’t recommend Diana enough, she’s reliable, kind, and truly goes above and beyond. Will definitely book her again!
