About: I have 2 cats I've cared for since they were kittens and they are both extremely happy and healthy. I've helped petsit cats with behavioral issues, helped train my roommates dogs, and our old family dog as well. I've also helped neighbors with their pets since I was very young. I'm currently working part time, so I'm available outside of days I work. When I'm at home, I'm usually doing chores around the house or doing some crafts. Of course if my animals want attention, they get it, and so would yours. If I'm coming into your home to take care of your baby, I will treat the animal and environment respectfully. If your pet is shy, I'd take it slow with them until they were comfortable with me.
About: I’ve lived with dogs since I can remember. I developed love an respect for animals from a young age. At home we had cocker spaniel, beagle, Shih Tzu, Siberian husky and mix breeds. I work from home in a very convenient schedule to take care of your furry baby’s needs. It’s always a pleasure make a doggy happy. No pet caring at home available at the moment. Maybe in the near future. Stay tuned. No pet caring at home available at the moment. Maybe in the near future. Stay tuned.
About: Available full time to watch your babies. I love dogs and I have always had 1or 2 myself. My husband and myself have bought an RV and we live in it in a campground but we do have yard space and lots of space for walking your loved ones. I have worked for 1 1/2 years at a veterinarian office. Let me take care of your pet for you and you'll not have to worry about them. I am a very reliable person. I love dogs of all kinds and of all ages. I can sit them in their own surroundings in their home or at my home. I can provide you with a reference if you would like. Dogs mean so much to me and I love to show them all the loving they need. I in NO way believe in animal cruelty, it is not in no way tolerated!! Pick me and you won't be sorry. I don't work outside the home so I'll have plenty of time to play with your baby which is right down my alley. I love animals! I can let your pet roam in my home if that is what they are used to and that won't bother me. I can also crate your pet if need be but only if you instruct me to do so. I also have a small fenced area for them to roam.
About: For the past 4 years, I’ve provided loving, dependable care for cats, dogs, and birds through overnight stays, drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and walks. Cats are my specialty! I’m very experienced with feline behavior, shy cats and multi-cat households. I love making pets feel calm and comfortable while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels and routines, including daily walks, companionship, and overnight care. In addition, I have hands on experience with tropical birds and understand the importance of patience, consistency and attention to detail when caring for exotic pets. What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every animal! I take my time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I am reliable, communicative, and committed to making pet parents feel confident while they’re away through regular updates and attentive care. I am currently a part-time worker at a local pharmacy and a Full-Time college student looking to make extra money while doing what I love. I am free at least 3-4 days a week, the more notice the better I can work around your preferred schedule. My preference is afternoons, however if mornings or nights are needed I can accommodate! I am more free during week days but can make time on weekends around my work schedule as I typically only work 5-6 hour shifts. I currently can not offer my personal living quarters for care, however I am able to travel up to 40 miles to stay with or check on pets. If you are in need of someone urgently and live outside a 40 mile radius please message me directly and I may be able to still work with you! I will walk, feed, stay with, play with and care for various cats and dog breeds! I also have experience with tropical birds and fish if need be. I will clean up after all animals and leave your home tidy and neat, as well as provide updates at your desired time span i.e (Daily, Hourly, Etc.).
About: The services I offer are dog walks and check ins. I am currently 26 years old and graduated from UNCC in May of 2022. I have always loved animals ever since I was a little girl. I started caring for family and friends animals when I was 12 years old and will often help out friends and family when they need me to. What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is that I will take the time to love and care for your animal like it was my own. I always try to go above and beyond whatever my task is. I hope to one day be able to care and love your animal as if you were there. I work part time during the week but I am free all day during the weekends. I would be able to provide walks and daily care for your pet. I have two cats and one dog who are very loving to all humans and animals . I want your pet to feel comfortable while you are away.
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve loved working with them in all kinds of capacities since I was a child, and for more than 16 years, I’ve had the privilege of doing so professionally. Over the years, I’ve trained and cared for dogs of all personalities and backgrounds, including working dogs, and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual. I’m a Canine Good Citizen Evaluator and am certified in Canine CPR and First Aid through the American Red Cross. I recertify annually so I can stay current with the latest first-aid practices, and I’m also comfortable administering oral medications when needed. Most importantly, I treat every dog in my care as an individual and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re here. Before your pup comes to stay, I’ll have you fill out a little information form about them. It’s not meant to feel like paperwork for paperwork’s sake—it simply helps me get to know your dog before they arrive. Their routines, quirks, favorite things, and anything else that helps me make them feel at home are all helpful to know. I don’t have a breed preference and have experience with everything from easygoing family companions to high-drive working dogs. Whether your pup is happiest curled up on the couch or ready to spend the day exploring, I’m happy to accommodate their personality and your preferences. And yes, your dog is absolutely welcome on our couch! ❤️ Our home is their home while they’re here, and we want them to feel comfortable and included. At the same time, I’m always happy to follow whatever arrangements work best for your family. No matter what their stay looks like, your pup can count on plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and interaction. My goal is for them to head home happy, tired, and already looking forward to their next visit! I wake up and start the day off with morning let out. After each group has been let we come back in for feeding. Morning feedings normally allow for 30-45 minutes before letting out again for a potty break. They are brought back in, crated, and pups are rotated out for play inside throughout the day. I let out every 2-4 hours through the day or more if needed. I do have the option to add on trail walks for those who have social canines who are good with other dogs and people (I will not be introducing them to others but it is a requirement to the trail). In the evening we normally do the last feeding at 7 pm followed by yard play and starting to settle in. Last potty break is at 10 pm. Note: Although I am at home full time I do on occasion leave our home to run errands. Your dog can be left alone for up to 4 hours (max). If this is ever the case your pup will always be crated and secure. For your pup's safety They are never given free rein while unsupervised. I take the safety of your furry companion very seriously. Canines are let out for potty breaks every 2-4 hours (or as needed, if required more frequently). I have a fenced-in yard so your pup will be safe during potty breaks. I do not allow companions from other families to play with each other. This is a safety measure. Your pup can be under a lot of stress when you're gone and I want to make their stay as smooth and relaxing as possible. This doesn't mean I will not be playing with your pup ourselves! I love playing fetch, puzzle games, and even tug with them. I do allow for several outings in the house throughout the day so they can get plenty of one-on-one attention inside as well as extra pets. I have 5 acres that are attached to the national preserve. If your furry companion is social and enjoys walks, I have several trails I am happy to take them on upon request (weather permitting). All outings are on leash only.
About: I grew up with having a dog around the house, so I have always loved being around pets. The last two summers I have pet sat for families while they were on vacation. Some of the dogs I have taken care of have had medical needs, so I am able to give dogs medication if needed. I have taken care of big and small dogs. I look forward to working and taking care of your pet! During the summer I have more availability outside of when I am on vacation. For house sitting services, I am happy to provide overnight care for your pet. There will be times I will leave the home to run errands, go to work, family time and etc. But I will make sure that your pet’s routine is kept in tact and that they get all the snuggles and love they need. I am a full time teacher so once the school year starts my availability will change. I will not be able to provide pet care in my home. But I can provide pet care in a clients home. I am able to provide walks, feed your pet, provide snuggles, and medication if needed. I will ensure the client home stays clean if I am booked for overnight pet care. If it is too hot outside I may limit the time for the walk. I will also bring a water bottle with a bowl to make sure your dog does not overheat.
About: Dogs, cats, snakes, scorpions, fish, spiders, hamsters, parrots, and ferrets, I have had them all. I have ten years of experience, and have been the neighborhood go to for pet sitting. I know how it feels to leave your pets behind when going on vacation, caring for a loved one, or working a long day, but I can be the assurance you need. I will keep you informed and in touch with your pet by sending you daily text videos and photos. I treat all pets as if they were my own and I am dependable and reliable. My work hours are pretty flexible, so I can accommodate most last minute requests and odd hours. I love all animals and look forward to meeting yours.
About: I have been working with and caring for dogs my whole life. Large working breeds to small breeds. I understand dog psychology.

I am currently working part time as I build my clientele and will have time in my schedule for weekday appointments, I can also take appointments on Saturdays. I have a skill set for handling dogs with great care and positive reinforcement. I currently have 2 of my own 1 Belgian shepherd mix and 1 maltishu mix. I will eventually take in over night boards once I have my building on my property fitted out for it appropriately.
About: I’ve raised 2 dogs of my own since they were puppies and one is now a senior. I have received many compliments of being the best dog mom but I am also a very attentive and responsible pet sitter. I have taken care of cats and dogs alike and I truly love and care for them like they are my own. I have plenty of time to care for your pets during the day or evening. I am more of a morning person for sure but I am very flexible. I have a fenced in front and back yard which makes it easy to let dogs outside. I am also very active so walking or running is no problem.
About: Hi my name is Hailey and I’m so excited to meet your pets!! I have had a lot of experience dog sitting and dog walking and I love doing it! Before I left for college, I worked at a doggy day care and pet owners trusted me to care for their pets while they are away. I loved meeting all different kids of dogs and spending my days with them! I am in college currently but during breaks my schedule is very open. I am available to walk dogs or dog sit anytime of the week and I am very flexible. I will provide only the upmost care for your pets. I will make sure they are cared for with regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of attention.
About: I love all animals and have always had a passion to work with animals. I grew up with dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, birds, you name it! I treat everyone's fur babies how I'd expect people to treat my mine. I use to do anesthesia-free dog teeth cleaning, so I am very comfortable with all sizes and types of dogs. I'm a good pick for your pets because I have a passion for animals and go up and beyond what's expected. I will always send you pictures of your sweet little babies while you are away on your trip. Let me take good care of your babies and give them someone who cares, wants to play and keep their mind of their owners while they are gone. Thanks for considering me :-) I am home most of the day every day so your fur baby will never be alone for too long at a time. I'm pretty flexible with times for drop ins as well. I have fenced yard that my dog loves to play in (more so, when he gets to have a buddy over) haha. Inside, dogs have full range inside the house and I let them on furniture. (If you are strict with your dog with getting on furniture, I will make sure he has the same set of rules at my place).
About: Growing up I've always had a love for all types of pets, I've had a few family pets that I would take care of as well! What sets me apart from other sitters is that I strive to create a bond with your pets! Usually, I would like to set up an appointment ahead of time to meet your loved ones and we can create a bond, I would like to take this time to see if they're comfortable with me based on body language & behaviors! I have experience working with all kinds of pets, and I've worked at boarding facilities. I have experience working with reactive animals and I currently have a reactive dog!! Any extra knowledge I have is because I have a great sister who is a veterinary technician! I currently work 2 jobs, both of which are Thursday-Sunday. At one of my jobs I work overnight, so there is a possibility I will have to leave to work in the middle of the night and will be back by morning. Along with my 2 jobs, I am also a college student, with that being said I have to attend in-person classes during the week. I am able to care for your loved ones before, between, and after work, and make it a priority to give your animals quality care & all the love I can. If you have any questions about my schedule please feel free to reach out! I keep a close watch on my own pets as well as the pets I look after. I would prefer a list/note of what type of pet care you expect, for instance writing a note with your animal's daily schedule and when/what to feed them! If your babies have any allergies or if there's anything specific you'd like me to know about your pet please also disclose that information. At the end of each stay/visit, I make it a point to include a brief summary of how your pet(s) behave, just to bring you up to speed! I like to send lots of photos and videos of your pet, so keep your phone close to receive ALL the love from back home <3

About: Hi! I am between University Area, Concord, and I'm willing to travel further in Charlotte! I’ve taken care of small dogs, medium dogs, and large dogs since they were just puppies to when they were elders. I’ve loved taking care of each dog throughout every part. I grew up with doggies and I have two pups right now taking up my time hehe. I have a very flexible schedule Currently looking for a job but in the meantime my schedule is available and I am motivated to watch some puppies whether that means spending the night with them, checking in on them, or even just taking them on walks. My schedule will be based on my clients! I plan on ensuring the dogs safety as my number one priority and respecting the owner. I hope to have an easy and fun time with all dogs.
About: Hi! I’m Laurel! I’m a 21 year old college student with a passion for animals. I have been building my business, Fingers and Paws Pet Care, since May of 2025! Since then I have served over 30 happy clients, many of whom schedule regular walks/visits! I am committed to providing pets with a safe and engaging environment, and pet parents with peace of mind! I have been an animal lover my whole life, and an involved pet owner since elementary school! I began pet sitting for neighbors and friends when I was in high school. I stayed in client’s homes while caring for their pets to avoid loneliness or a change in routine. This consisted of preparing meals, feeding, walking, giving potty breaks, playtime and other enrichment activities, as well as retrieving mail, watering plants, and ensuring the house maintains cleanliness. Oftentimes, clients would ask me to care for other animals in the home, such as geckos, turtles, and fish, which I am more than happy to do! I also offered drop in visits for neighbors’ pets in high school. This consisted of stopping by, preparing food, feeding, offering potty breaks, play time, walks, and litter changes if needed. Since starting Fingers and Paws, my pet care experience has increased exponentially. I have increased my range of services and now offer house sitting, boarding, drop in visits, walks, baths, and play sessions. Pet care is my full time job, though I am a college student! The majority of my classes are online so I can be as present as possible with your pets! I have one in person class on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:00pm-2:15pm. Whether I’m hosting a pet or staying in their home, my routine depends on the pet’s routine! I discuss activity levels and a pet’s daily routine with owners before booking a visit. This includes feeding times, walk schedules, potty break schedules, treat schedules, and playtime schedules! Pets are sensitive to changes in their environment, so the goal is to match a pet’s routine as similarly as I can! I live in a condo on the ground floor, which means I have a backyard and can easily bring dogs outside for potty breaks or walks. The condo has three bedrooms so if I’m watching multiple pets, that gives them the opportunity for alone time if needed! I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and your pet will not go without attention or affection while they are with me!
