“Jacqueline was so sweet and so easy to work with. I was really anxious about leaving our not even 6 month old puppy because he’s still doing all of the puppy things, but she was super calm about it all and reassured me over and over during our stay that things were going well and his behavior was normal for a pup. He had a great time playing with her dog and he came home nice and tired. She is super responsive to messages as well which made me feel so comfortable and she sent pictures each day. It was a great first experience overall :)”
“We had a fabulous experience with Ilanna! It was the first time we used a pet sitter at their home, and we couldn’t have been happier with their care. She sent pictures almost every day and was quick to respond to any questions or communication. I’m sure our Milo wasn’t as easy as she told us, but her positive feedback gave us such peace of mind on our trip. I couldn’t recommend her more highly…just wonderful.”
“Tonya is a great host! From setting up a meet and greet, to coordinating drop off and pick up times, she was very flexible and prompt in her responses!

She and her children treated my baby as part of their family, showering her with affection and attention. Brittany also stayed in constant communication with me every single day, sending photos and showing me the environment Luna was in, which gave me so much peace and confidence. It’s a true blessing to find someone like her. I will absolutely trust her again and recommend her more than 100%. Thank you, Brittany, for everything!”

Here’s a polished version that keeps it warm and genuine: Such a kind and genuine host! We feel truly blessed to have someone like her take care of our baby, Sasha. Sasha always feels safe, comfortable, and secure with her, which gives us so much peace of mind. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Sasha and treating her with so much love. We truly appreciate you and look forward to having Sasha stay with you again!
This was the first time we had boarded our 7 month old puppy with Heather. She did a great job and followed our instructions for her care. Heather was also very accommodating and sent us daily messages on how Sadie was doing. When we returned, Sadie was happy but very tired. She had obviously had fun playing with Heather's two small dogs. We will be using Heather again in the near future and highly recommend her.
We had such a positive experience with Monie! Our dog stayed with her, and it was clear that he felt safe and comfortable in her care. She sent us daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away, and she was always very responsive whenever we reached out. We really appreciated the care and attention she gave our dog and would definitely feel comfortable having him stay with her again!
Brandi was amazing. We are so happy we found her. With the new move and last minute booking we wanted someone nearby. She was awesome with all the pictures and updates and so accommodating with last minute changes. Hope we can have lLegend visit in the future :)

96% of sitters in Waxhaw can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Waxhaw 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 Waxhaw.
<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 Waxhaw sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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.
