Our babies loved her and we would highly recommend booking with her!!!”

About: I have been taking care of all sorts of animals as far back as I can remember. I have experience in caring for puppies/kittens, geriatric, and exotic pet care. I am a certified veterinary assistant as well as having 2 years of experience as a kennel technician. I also have experience with special needs animals such as diabetic and paralytic animals. I currently work part-time so I have plenty of time to care and play with your fur babies! I am also not out of the house much when I am not working so I will have plenty of one on one time with your pet. I have three friendly dogs and one friendly cat that love to meet new friends. I do crate our dogs when no one is home which is very rare and will only be for a couple of hours typically. I have a large back yard but we do not let the animals run loose, they are tethered/leashed when outside. I will be watching and/or walking with them at all times when outside. If I am pet sitting animals in a client’s home I will care for the animal however the client directs me to and in the safest and loving way as possible.

“Hannah was great and we really appreciate her stopping in to check on her babies. She sent photos and communicated with us every step of the way.”


About: I’m a 20-year-old college athlete currently playing volleyball at Gardner-Webb University. I’ve been taking care of dogs for several years and have experience with breeds ranging from French Bulldogs to medium-sized mixed breeds. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed, and care for their pets with love and attention. I’m dependable, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with dogs—whether it’s playtime, a relaxing walk, or just hanging out together. As a student-athlete with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets—especially for walks, drop-ins, or weekend boarding. I’m usually available weekdays after 10 AM and most weekends. I make sure to plan around your pet’s needs and routines, so they always feel cared for and comfortable. I live in Statesville and offer pet care in your home, where your pet feels most comfortable and secure. I always prioritize safety and follow your instructions carefully to keep your pet happy and healthy. I’m trustworthy, dependable, and committed to treating your home and your pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own.

About: Growing up with animals all my life, I have hands-on experience caring for reptiles, dogs, and cats. I truly enjoy building trust with every animal I meet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. From walking energetic pups to cleaning reptile enclosures and providing shy cats with the space they need, I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and individual needs. I'm experienced in administering oral medications, maintaining clean and enriching environments, and giving lots of one-on-one attention! Whether it’s a lizard who needs specific heat and humidity levels or a senior dog who needs a little extra patience, I’m here to help. Your pets will be treated like family—because I genuinely love what I do. If it's not an animal I am familiar with, I am willing to learn and help where I can. Let’s chat about how I can help care for your pet! I’m a stay-at-home mom with plenty of free time during the day to care for your furry family members. I’m typically available between 9:30 AM and 3:00 PM, but I am flexible around those times. I have six pets of my own—three dogs and three cats—each with their own unique personality and special medical needs, so I’m no stranger to the joys (and quirks!) of animal care. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or a little extra TLC, I’ve got it covered! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I follow your routines closely to keep things familiar and stress-free. That could range from setting up certain times of the day where we throw toys in the yard or play tug to feeding times. I feed my animals twice a day and even though I feed them twice, I have a pup named rocky, who chooses to eat only once, no matter what brand of food to keep it appetizing for him. We would do walks typically in the morning times as the temperatures are lower. My animals and kids keep me on my toes!

About: Taking care of dogs and spending quality time with them is one of my favorite things in the world. I’ve been known to show great care and become bonded with every dog I spend time with. It would be my delight to help you show more love to your own by giving them the care that they deserve when life gets busy! Available typically everyday of the week with enough notice. Working part time and also I DJ on weekends occasionally for weddings, dances, and parties. Please do not be afraid to ask! Strict routines of both feeding, play, and bathroom time. Immense care and dedication to making sure every fur baby is cared for and feeling comfortable.

About: Hello! I would be honored to spend time with your four-legged friends. I have had pets of all shapes and sizes throughout my life. I have puppy-sat with multiple families and currently work at a pet boarding/grooming/training company. Much of my time is spent 1-on-1 with each animal that walks through the door and I will use the same professionalism with your pets as if they were my own or walking into the shop. I have experience with basic training and some advanced training techniques, both from personal and professional experience. I am more than willing to adjust my schedule to cater to you and your pet's needs. I currently have two pups named Mia and Mowgli. They are going through their terrible 3's but are all-around terrific dogs. I've had experience with skittish/anxious animals as well as rambunctious ones, so no worries about behavior issues. In my opinion, communication is key, so I will be glad to work closely with you to ensure that your pet is as comfortable as possible in any and all situations. I am open and willing to work with any pet you may have and look forward to meeting you and your loving fur-baby! I am currently working part-time at the pet boarding facility, so I am open and available to various schedules. I understand that routine walks, potty, and feeding times are crucial to a pet's well-being. Therefore, I am willing to come earlier in the day or later in the evening. We usually start the morning with exercise and potty time. We have plenty of parks nearby as well as trails we like to explore. Positive reinforcement and making sure your pet is as comfortable as possible are things we like to prioritize. Services can always be adjusted to fit the needs of both you and your pets. As a safety precaution, I am also insured through State Farm.
