“Linda was so helpful and flexible for this last minute walk request. She was timely and had great communication! Will certainly be using her again in the future. :)”

About: I grew up with dogs in my home since I was a child. I moved to Charlotte in 1999 and got my Jack Russell Terrier Norman and he was so loved he lived until 18 1/2! I thought I’d give it some time before I got another dog but we ended up getting Coco two weeks later and Enzo several months later. The humans in my household are me, my husband, Chris and my two teenage sons, Greyson (17) and Cayden (16). We all love dogs! I’ll be the only caregiver of your pet but just wanted to include who else is in our home. I’m a stay at home mom so I’m home to give your dog the care he or she needs. My two dogs are very friendly and love to play! I worked for a veterinarian in college so I’ve been around many types of dogs and cats. At my house dogs are family. They are allowed on our furniture and sleep in our bed. We have a huge fenced in yard with a 6 foot privacy fence.

About: I have always had a dog growing up but rescued my own dog, almost 7 years ago and trained him from 1 month old. The experience intensified my love for dogs and training them! I am used to going on walks, potty training, and feeding schedules as well as accommodating quirks (my guy can be weird so I get it lol). I work full time from home so as long as I have notice of when I am needed it should work seamlessly in my life. If pet sitting at your home I want to keep your dog as comfortable and on routine as possible. I am well versed in all sorts of quirks so just let me know and I can adapt to whatever your pet needs. I will be diligent about following instructions and will give lots of attention and affection while you are away.

“Samantha was able to walk Gemma last minute at lunch for a few days this past week. She was patient and kind with Gemma when she was very nervous at first. She kept me updated and sent photos. Would absolutely hire again. Great dog walker! Thank you !”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years, from energetic puppies as a kid growing up to wise senior dogs with special needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, medication, or just being a calm and reassuring presence, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels — from zoomies to couch potatoes. I work full time remotely, with slight travel on an annual basis. My schedule is pretty flexible! Perfect for early mornings, lunch, or afternoon care with weekend availability majority of the time! When I care for your pet in your home, I treat it like my own — with respect, cleanliness, and attention to detail. I know how important it is to keep your pet’s routine and environment consistent, so I follow your instructions carefully and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also send daily updates with pictures so you know everything’s going smoothly. My goal is to make sure your pets — and you — feel completely at ease.

“She was great! Let me know when she got there, how the walk was and sent me a picture. I already booked more sessions. Thank you for taking care of my pups.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life, primarily large dogs up until end of life, as well as cats in the last 6 years. I’ve got extensive experience with these guys, and my love for these animals runs deep! I’m currently self-employed, so my schedule is very flexible for visiting or playing with your pets! The best times to schedule me are between 8am and 8pm, but I am open to other hours with planning in advance. :) I have a screened in yard, as well as 2 crates for small dogs and cats, comfy beds, and toys for them to play with! I also have treats and a dedicated space within my home for them to relax in.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs since I can remember. Many neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to look after their lovely pets! I will adore them as if they were my own! I work a job that is remote throughout the week and I do find myself having a lot of extra time because of that. I have a pretty open schedule during the weekends so I’m very flexible and I’m willing to stay at your house or bring them over to interact with my own pet. I do have a fur baby of my own who is super friendly and loves everyone and anyone that will pay attention to him. “

About: Your dog gets calm, attentive care in a real home, not a kennel, and not an overcrowded house. I’ve had animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, and farm animals, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments, energy levels, and needs, including senior dogs and those requiring medication. I’m home based and available throughout the day, which means consistent supervision, companionship, and exercise, whether that’s a relaxed neighborhood walk or a longer outing on the nearby greenway trail. I keep boarding low volume, typically one guest at a time, to maintain a calm, safe environment. I have a spacious fenced backyard and do a meet-and-greet before every booking to make sure it’s a good fit for your dog. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing. Reliability and clear communication aren’t extras, they’re just how I operate. I work part time from home, which leaves me with a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I’m home most of the day, allowing me to provide consistent walks, attention, and supervision. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, not as an afterthought, so your pet gets reliable, focused care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s needs, preferences, and any medical or behavioral considerations so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and low-stress. In your home, I respect your space and your pet’s established routine. I follow all care instructions closely including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any household preferences so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, supervised environment with a spacious backyard and access to a nearby greenway for walks. I keep boarding low-volume (typically one client at a time) to ensure each pet gets focused attention. Pets are never left unsupervised with my puppy, and I use slow, thoughtful introductions to make sure everyone is comfortable. I prioritize safety at all times, including secure leashing on walks, monitoring interactions, and maintaining a clean, hazard-free environment. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

“Cerys is awesome! I've booked her twice and will book her again for sure. From the second she met with us during the meet&greet, I could tell her and Diesel were bonded. She was receptive to all the information and "quirks" that Diesel has and worked with her. She didn't take the shortcut and just take Diesel to the park. She ran her as far as Diesel wanted to go. Diesel is so happy to see Cerys anytime she came by for a walk.”

About: I pay attention to detail and I will love on your pet like it is my own. I will provide head scratches and belly rubs if the pet is comfortable. Over the summer I will be working part time at a store. My availability will look different week to week. Looking forward to taking care of your pets! I will follow guidelines about taking care of your pet(s). I will use caution when coming into contact with people or other animals during walks. For pet sitting, I will do frequent check-ins or stay at your place if requested.

“Dawn did a wonderful job with our puppy!”

About: I am a college athlete, and can be ready for any kind of walk- regardless of the mileage! I’m reliable, active, and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention, and care while keeping you updated so you know they’re happy and in good hands. Because I am only home from school for a selected time, I am unemployed and can walk dogs at any time during the week currently! I will always treat your home and pet with care and respect. I’ll follow your instructions closely, make sure your dog is safe on every walk, provide plenty of attention, and send updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Sam is amazing & does so great with Kobe. He’s always ready for a nap after one of their walks.”

About: My family has owned dogs since i was about 10, over that time I've become well versed in any and all situations that dogs can get into. My schedule is extremely open at the moment, the only days I for sure can't pet sit is Wednesdays and Thursdays. Every other day I should be available anytime. In my view all our non-human family members get the same treatment, one filled with love and engagement. After all, when they are happy, we are happy.

About: I have worked with horses, birds, dogs, cats, and more. I worked at a boarding facility for just under two years where I worked primarily with dogs and cats and I have looked after my neighbors pets and coworkers pets. I am currently in school so I am busy Tuesday through Thursday. I have Friday and the weekend completely free and I can do Monday usually. I will always be sure that the pets I am taking care of are unable to get into anything they’re not supposed to, that they are not getting over fed, that they are taking any medications at the correct time, and they they are safe wherever we are. The well-being of animals is my top priority.

“Eva is so wonderful with my big girl. Not only does she walk her but she loves on her like her own. I think Sister misses her this morning. I would recommend with absolutely no reservation. She’s the best. Jan Fries”

About: I have taken care of dogs of different breeds since I was 13. Friends and family have relied on me for walks, potty breaks, feeding, bathing, and training. I have properly trained my 4 year old German Shepherd. I love and adore pets and will treat your dog the way you and your family would. I currently work from home, so I am able to take care of your pet Sunday-Friday during all times of the day as long as I do not have a scheduled meetings. I am happy to discuss certain schedules if you decide to work with me! I do not offer services within my own home. I am happy to come into your home as needed to properly care for your pet.
