House Sitting Barclay Downs

“Amy was great because her stay was so uneventful! We were able to go away and did not have to worry about our dog at all. She was also super responsive. Would definitely recommend and will use her again.”

About: Hi there! I’m someone who has shared my life and heart with animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by animals from the age of 10, caring for them isn’t just a job or a hobby for me—it’s second nature. Over the last 34 years, I’ve had the privilege of loving and caring for dogs, cats, horses, and hand-rearing a baby pig. ​Animals are unique individuals with their own personalities, quirks, and needs. I truly connect with them on a deep level, bringing a blend of genuine empathy and patient, confident leadership to every pet I care for. ​I have extensive experience with dogs who need an extra layer of understanding, including rescue dogs with anxious, abandoned, or abused backgrounds. I am also very comfortable managing health conditions—such as epilepsy and lupus—and carefully administering daily medications on schedule to ensure your pet stays safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. ​Whether your pet needs gentle reassurance, strict medical routines, or just a quiet companion who truly understands them, I will treat them with the exact same love, respect, and attentive care I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Animals are a central part of my day. I reserve daytime blocks specifically for dog walks, providing safe, focused exercise tailored to your dog's pace and personality. For pet sitting, whether drop-ins or overnight care, I integrate your pet’s feeding, medication, and relaxation routines right into my daily flow so they receive consistent, attentive care without interruption. ​Every pet is an individual, and being in their own home lets them feel comfortable and safe. I tailor every visit or stay around what makes your pet thrive—whether that’s an energetic neighborhood walk, focused playtime, or just quiet company on the couch. I am calm, firm, and observant, making sure safety and comfort come first. From precise daily medication doses to fresh food and tidy spaces, I treat your home and your pets with absolute respect and care.

“I cannot recommend Marcella highly enough! When my original cat sitter fell through at the last minute, she stepped in without hesitation and saved the day. From start to finish, her communication was excellent - she kept me updated and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She went above and beyond by following all my specific requests, including keeping my cat's feeding bowls spotless and maintaining his litter box perfectly. But what really stood out was how genuinely she cared for my cat. It was clear she treated him with love and attention, even taking time to play with him and keep him entertained. Finding a trustworthy pet sitter who truly cares about your furry family member is rare. She exceeded all my expectations and I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. If you're looking for someone reliable, communicative, and loving with pets, look no further!”

About: I like to consider myself a very go-with-the-flow person sitter. I’ve done drops ins and stayed overnight. Recently moved to the area and looking to grow my clientele here! We can always negotiate pricing based on the needs of your dog(s)! I work a Monday through Friday from nine to five on a typical week! Based on your location I can drop by during the day on my lunch break. I treat all dogs with love and affection. I do follow all owners’ wishes when it comes to caring for their pooch. I believe all dogs are good!

About: I grew up at the end of a wooded cul-de-sac where we would encounter a /lot/ of strays. I begged my parents to keep each one, and sometimes they would oblige. Most of the time though, we rehomed them to a safe environment and gave them all the love in the meantime. This introduced me to a wide variety of breeds and personalities. Then I was mentored by a dog rescuer in Charlotte, and accompanied her in her work for a while. At this point in my families reputation, when the store we were regulars at found a stray kitten, they called us. Now when friends go on vacation, we give their pet their food, medicine, and accompaniment. Animals have been a huge part of my life, and I would love to make you and your pet part of my family. I’m currently working part time when I’m not in school, but my classes are online and work schedule is flexible. I like to be up early! I can crate your dog if needed, but have a more than big enough apartment that works for most. I live literally ON the greenway and I average about 20k steps a day, so I love to walk and can definitely meet any energy needs your pet has.

“Montana is our dog’s new best friend! 🩷 She was so kind, responsive, and made sure to pay attention to every little detail! When we first met Montana she made us feel so comfortable right away and we knew we could trust her with our fur baby and home! Montana stayed at our house and was such a pleasant guest! We appreciated her cute photos and updates throughout her stay as well. We are booking her services again so that our dog can have another wonderful weekend while we are away! 🩷🩷🩷”

“The second time I have asked Karena to look after my dog, and this time was difficult, as the house lost power for 18 hours during the middle of a heat wave, while the internet was effectively out for two full days. Karena was a great sport, extremely communicative, patient, and showed real care and concern for my dog under the circumstances. I really appreciated this and would absolutely have her back.”

About: I love pets so much! I grew up with a cocker spaniel and now have three cats! I love all animals and love to help! I am also willing to house sit. I work Monday-Friday until 5pm typically but am able to afternoon take care of pets! I am free weekends. I am also able to take care of pets overnight stays/house sit! Works well with going to work and then coming back home to the babies :) I have three cats of my own and grew up raising a beautiful cocker spaniel baby :) I love pets and have my own car but no large backyard.
