“Meghan was one of the best Rover’s we’ve ever had. She took the time to let each kitty get used to her. Even the most skittish of the bunch came out to play. We will absolutely be using Meghan the next time.”
“Lucy was above and beyond! She sent pictures and you could see how happy our dog was. 10 out of 10 and five stars all the way! I highly recommend using Lucy for any dog sitting needs, she is the best!!!”
“Alison was great with our 2 cats and 1 dog! From the meet and greet she was able to connect with even the sassy cat. Alison took great care of the animals and was even able to medicate one as requested. We would recommend Alison to anyone and hire her again. Thank you Alison!”
“Justin was very responsive and stepped in same day after our usual sitter had to cancel last minute due to illness. He kept in great contact and sent updates on our pups. Both boys were well cared for and happy when we got home. Justin also brought in a package and closed the garage door we accidentally left open. I’d definitely book with Justin again and would highly recommend him. Thanks for caring for our babies!”
“I appreciate Hannah so much for taking care of my baby! This was the first time leaving him and I was glad he had someone looking out for him. During my time away hurricane Ian hit but Hannah was always communicating with me and letting me know how it was going. Even though she stayed an extra 30 minutes before the storm got bad she still came back after 11pm to make sure he was set for the night. She had no problem with my 70lbs German shepherd/lab mix and taking him for walks. He seemed to like her as soon as they had a chance to meet!”
About: I've had animals my whole life, I feel like I connect with them than most humans. I have a huge empathy for them. I've own lots of dogs, cats, even a few odd balls that you don't see from day to day. I love all types, no matter the age, or type of animal! I am a stay at home fiancé, as long as I have time to cook for my husband than I'm good to go. As long as its anytime before 12pm (unless over night) My pets are home are spoiled! I have 6 leopard geckos, a Tegu, and 2 kitty's! I treat them better than I do myself. They are my light and joy, couldn't do it without them.
“Kristen did a fantastic job. She communicated well and took great care of my pup. Easy to work with and definitely will again in the future. I was cautious and hesitant to find someone to come into my home and take care of my dog. Now I have no regrets hiring Kristen and no hesitation using her again in the future.”
“Tania was so helpful to us. She instantly bonded with our Freya. She provided some pets, a chance for a quick walk, and a bathroom opportunity while we were working. We will be so happy for her to help again in the future.”
“Amanda was great! This was the first time I had left my dog and cat for so long (10 days) and was out of the country as well. She sent updates and pictures multiple times a day, responded quickly and took great care of them both. She even stopped by the house the day we got back to make sure we were home (she had heard flights were cancelled from where we were flying from and wanted to make sure my dog was let out - super conscientious and reliable!) I would definitely book again!”
About: I’m a 19 year old student at UNC Charlotte and have grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for animals comes very naturally to me. I’ve also dog and cat sat many times for friends, family, and others, including feeding, walking, playing, and overnight care. I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes and personalities, and I always make sure to follow routines closely so pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have classes in the mornings until around 12, which leaves me free for the rest of the day and evenings. I’m available for check-ins, feedings, walks, and overnight stays with pets throughout the afternoon and night. I’m also flexible with my schedule and can adjust to meet a pet’s specific routine, whether that means multiple visits a day or staying longer to make sure they’re comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I always follow their specific instructions closely to keep their pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I make sure pets are fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, and any other care they need like walks, playtime, or litter box cleaning. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and keep everything clean and organized. I also like to provide updates and photos so owners feel comfortable knowing their pet is happy and well cared for while they’re away.
About: I’m the owner of Barnyard Pet Retreat. I do dog/cat boarding out of my own home. It’s my full time job so I’ll be with them at all times. I have multiple dogs of my own and I am home full time. So, your fur babies will be monitored and loved at all times! I have a great potty routine that my dogs are currently on. I have anywhere from small dogs to big dogs in my household so your fur baby will have a lot of company. I can cage your dogs if needed or my own for your fur baby’s comfort.
“Bonnie is awesome! She is reliable and takes wonderful care of our puppy. She even works with him on training and brought him a new toy for his progress! We are thrilled to have found someone that takes care of our puppy like we would and that we trust in our home.”
About: I’ve taken care of my family and friends pets for years, I purely enjoy being around animals and just offering a helping hand to you! I currently work at a family owned business with flexible hours and I do school online so with a couple days notice I will be easy to get in touch with and fit your needs in my schedule. Currently I live with my parents and we have 3 family dogs, this is why I cannot board your pets at my house but If I were to stay in your home I would treat it with respect and keep it clean and friendly.
“Annie was so great! She checked in every day, she played with our babies and she took great care of them. She even made our kitties toys! When we got home, everything was just as we left it and Annie left us a little note with an update of her stay. It was very appreciated! We highly recommend Annie and hope she will watch our kitties again in the future!”
About: I currently have 2 dogs and 3 cats, and I have had fur babies my whole life. I currently work part-time at a doggy daycare, and take care of about 100+ dogs a day. I also have had experience dog sitting as well as cat sitting in the past! I work part-time currently, but am cutting back on my hours, so I will be available a lot of the time to care for puppies and not so puppies and even cats. I also am on summer break until August from school, so that isn’t a factor either. Currently I spend a lot of time playing with my own pups at home, but we also have them crate trained, and e-collar trained, so that is something that I am completely comfortable with if that is something you have in your home!
