Your dog's home away from home

I'm Lawrence, and I've been caring for dogs in the Statesville and Lake Norman area since 2017. With over seven years of experience and more than 100 five-star reviews, I've learned that every dog is unique and deserves personalized attention.

Your pup stays in my home with a large yard for play and exercise. I send daily photo updates so you can enjoy your trip knowing your dog is happy and healthy. Whether your dog needs extra patience, loves to play, or just wants a cozy spot to relax, I treat every guest like family.

I welcome all breeds and sizes. My goal is simple: give your dog the care and attention they deserve while you're away.

Do you only care for dogs?

I also provide care for cats and offer house sitting services. Whether you have a cat who needs calm companionship or you need someone to watch your home while you're away, I'm here to help.

What about drop-in visits?

Yes, I offer drop-in visits for pets who prefer to stay in their own home. I can stop by for feeding, playtime, medication, or just some company. Perfect for cats, shy dogs, or pets with special routines.

All bookings are made through Rover, which handles payments securely and provides premium insurance coverage. New clients get $20 off their first booking when you use my Rover link.

What families say

"Our dog has severe anxiety and doesn't do well in a standard boarding setting. Bella was comfortable with Lawrence immediately. She was her usual self when we picked her up, as if we went out for the day and came home. Highly recommend!"

Chris S.

"Perfect in every possible way. He's the Mary Poppins of dog sitters!!"

Chanda D.

"Our three dogs thrived and actually gained their weight back. Lawrence sent me loads of photos and frequent updates. The old dog is deaf, the middle aged dog can be moody, and our pittie is still in full puppy mode. I will definitely book with Lawrence again."

Nancy C.

"He made a ramp for my old lady when he noticed she had a tough time hobbling up three stair steps! He sent us pictures and videos and was completely sweet and understanding. Will definitely use again. Thank you so much, Lawrence!"

Kim H.

"Lawrence is so reliable and always makes my pup feel right at home. Thanks to Lawrence she is more comfortable being socialized with other dogs."

Jane G.

"My dog was well cared for and exercised plenty. Lawrence is a very kind and welcoming guy. Would bring him back."
