In-Home Dog Boarding

Loving overnight care in the one place
your dog feels safest: home.

In-Home Dog Boarding

You Travel. Your Dog Stays Home.

Some dogs love the resort life. Anxious pups, seniors on strict routines, and dogs who’ve never spent a night away do best in their own home, with their own bed, their own backyard, and their own schedule. Now they can have exactly that.

With In-Home Boarding from Lake Wylie Pet Resort

A trusted, background-checked caretaker comes to your home

Cares for your dog right where they’re most comfortable.

Same feeding times. Same walks. Same bedtime routine.

The only thing missing is you, so we’ll send photos and updates every day. You
never have to wonder how they’re doing.

Fully Insured · Background-Checked Sitters · Caring for Lake Wylie Pets Since 1993

All the Comforts of Home,
Because They’re Home

Our Golden Rule:

We Only Send Sitters We’d Trust in Our Own Homes

Letting someone into your home takes more trust than dropping your dog off ever did. We built this service around that fact.

Rigorous Screening.

Every team member passes a criminal background check, reference verification, and identity screening before ever stepping onto a client’s property.

Fully Insured.

Every stay is backed by comprehensive insurance covering both your pet and your property.

A Clear Code Of Conduct.

Our professionals respect your privacy, stay only in the areas of your home you designate, and treat your house with the same care they give your dog.

Zero-Visitor Policy.

Your sitter is there for your pets. Period. No friends, no family, no unapproved guests on your property, ever.

Pet First Aid Trained.

Every sitter is trained in pet first aid, with a clear emergency protocol: immediate contact with your preferred veterinarian or the nearest emergency clinic, and you’re notified right away.

Home care

Built-In
Peace of Mind for Your Home

An empty house is its own worry.
With a sitter on-site, your home keeps a lived-in look:

Mail brought in, lights rotated. If a pipe leaks or the power goes out, someone is there to catch it early, notify you immediately, and let in authorized repair services.

And when you walk back through the door, you’ll find a fresh, tidy house: your sitter cleans up after themselves and your pet, and any accidental messes are handled immediately with pet-safe cleaners that protect your floors and furniture.

Flight delayed? No panic.

There’s no kennel closing time to race, no emergency pickup to arrange. Your dog is already safe at home. We simply extend care until you walk through the door.

Not Sure Whether Your Dog
Belongs at the Resort or at Home?

We’re the only pet-care team in the area offering both.

Social butterflies who love group play often thrive in our resort’s suites and Day play program. Dogs who are anxious, older, on medication, or simply happiest in their own space do best with in-home care.

Tell us about your dog and we’ll give you an honest recommendation, because the right fit for your dog is the only thing we sell.

In-Home Boarding Questions, Answered

What exactly is in-home dog boarding?
Instead of bringing your dog to a facility, a professional caretaker from Lake Wylie Pet Resort comes to your home and cares for your dog there while you’re away. Overnight stays, feeding, walks, medication, and companionship.
Who will be staying in my home?
A Lake Wylie Pet Resort team member who has passed a criminal background check, reference verification, and identity screening. Our rule is simple: we never send a sitter into your home that we wouldn’t trust in our own. Whenever possible, we match you with the same primary sitter for every visit.
Is the sitter there all night?
Yes. Slumber Party stays include a sitter present from about 7 PM to 8 AM. Our VIP Stay provides round-the-clock care; the sitter lives on site and is never away for more than two hours.
Can you handle my dog's medication?
Yes. From oral pills to strict senior routines, our caretakers follow your exact instructions and are experienced with special medical needs. Share the details when you request care.
What happens if there’s an emergency?
Every sitter is trained in pet first aid and follows a clear protocol: immediately contact your preferred veterinarian or an emergency clinic, and notify you right away.
What if my flight home is delayed?
Nothing changes for your dog. There’s no closing time and no emergency pickup to arrange. We simply extend care until you’re home.
What vaccinations does my dog need?
Current DPP Bordetella (annual), and Rabies, the same requirements as our resort boarding. Confirm current requirements with our team before your stay.
How much does in-home boarding cost?
Pricing depends on the level of care your dog needs and how many dogs you have, and multi-dog families never pay separate per-pet boarding fees. Submit a request below or call our office, and our team will share exact pricing and the right fit within 24 hours.
