“Tiffany did an amazing job taking care of our three cats while we were away. She was reliable and her communication was excellent. I will definitely request her again in the future if she is available!”


About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was five years old, and pets have been a huge part of my life ever since. Over the years, I’ve had both dogs and cats, which has given me a deep understanding of their unique personalities and needs. I have hands-on experience with administering medications and caring for pets with medical conditions — including my own dog, who required special attention after surgery and while healing from a broken leg. I know how important it is to be patient, gentle, and attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. As a registered nurse, I work three days a week and only accept pet care bookings on my days off to ensure your pet gets my full, undivided attention. When I’m with your pet, they’re my top priority — whether that means walks, playtime, medication, or just lots of love and cuddles. I plan my schedule carefully so I can give each pet the dedicated care they deserve. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood with plenty of space for safe, enjoyable walks and outdoor play. While my yard is not fenced in, all outdoor time is fully supervised to ensure your pet’s safety. Inside, my spacious three-story home gives pets plenty of room to explore and relax. I use baby gates to safely manage movement between floors and create secure areas for rest or play. I do not accept aggressive pets, as safety and comfort—for both your pet and mine—are my top priorities. Your pet will be in a calm, loving environment where they can feel right at home.

“The best!”


“Katy has been absolutely amazing!!! Our girls don’t do well with us gone, normally eating very little and significantly less active. For the first time in years, they continued the regular routine without us there! THANK YOU!!!!”


“Sophie made sure to keep us updated with messages and photos at each of her visits. She was caring with all 3 of our doggies and made sure to follow all instructions. We will use Sophie again for pet sitting!”


“Brendan did two drop in visits for my two dogs and I have nothing but good things to say about our experience. He’s punctual, great communication, and follows all of my annoying instructions. He does well with both my senior dog and my younger anxious dog, leaving us with happy pups when we get home. We are booking him again for our week long vacation in August.”


“Paige was super accommodating with a short notice booking; she's very kind kind and responsive. Will definitely look to book with her next time we're out of town 😊”


“Quick responder & Readily availability!”


About: I know it can be scary to trust a stranger with your fur babies but I’ve taken care of pets all of my life. I’ve always grown up with family dogs- from frenchies to golden retrievers. I’ve had a cat and a pitbull of my own. I’m always the first to voluteer to pet sit and I love all animals. The more cuddles and treats the better I’ll follow any rules or advice you have to make sure that your pet has the best possible experience and most fun under my watch from games, walks, to relaxing I have a very flexible schedule and can help as many times a day you need including week days and weekends I have a very open and flexible schedule for week days and weekends. Whether it’s multiple times a day while you’re at work or on vacation or a lunch time walk while your meeting ran long I am unable to bring your pets to my home unfortunately. I am happy to travel to your home as many times a day as needed

About: Open to all activity levels from "wants to play" to "wants to cuddle". We can play in the yard, go for long walks, or sit on the couch and watch tv. I am recently retired and looking to spend my time with new furry friends! We are currently without pets for the first time in ages and know how much pet sitters meant to us when we were busy. Excited to do the same for you! We live in a quiet neighborhood at the end of a cul-de-sac for safe walks. Our fenced in yard has wide open space for games of fetch or zoomies. Our open floorplan allows space to hang during the day, and nights can be spent cuddling in bed or in a crate if that's what is preferred. We have doggie stairs if your little one needs help up to the couch or bed. We have gates to keep us together if your little one tends to wander.

“Alex has sat with our 7mo Cocker Spaniel puppy for a few Visits now and consistently provided excellent care for Winnie. We appreciate, will continue to use and recommend her.”


About: I’ve taken care of many dogs for friends, family, and neighbors over the years and I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to befriend them all. Dogs have such unconditional love and it’s so special that they share it with us I currently work a full time job with varying hours throughout the week. However, I am consistently available Saturday afternoons/evenings and I am available all day on Sunday I am happy to visit your home and keep your furry friend company in whatever form you would like. Whether it’s taking them on walks, providing meals, or simply playing with them at home, I’d love to shower your pet with love and attention

“Deanna was amazing and I would recommend her next level service to anyone. We were nervous to leave our dog with someone new but she was timely, thorough and gave frequent updates. Our little girl was happy to see us when we got back, but you could tell she was really well taken care of. Thanks Deanna!!!”


“My cat loved her!!! I will definitely be using her as my regular cat watcher for trips. He looked very happy in the adorable pictures she took! ?”


“From the very first meeting, Jill was professional, friendly, and showed genuine care for my cats. During the time I was away, Jill sent daily updates and pictures of my cats, which put my mind at ease knowing that they were in good hands. When I returned home, my cats were happy and healthy, and their routine and diet were not disrupted at all. I highly recommend Jill to anyone looking for a reliable and loving cat sitter. Her passion for animals is evident in the care they provide, and I will definitely be using her services again in the future. Thank you for taking such great care of my furry friends!”


“Hillary puts effort into her time with your pet. I always feel like my dog is in great hands when Hillary is watching him!”


About: I grew up with animals all my life. Both cats and dogs. As an adult, I’ve had two dogs whom I have loved and cared for. I have one now who is 9 named Petunia who I’ve had since she was 8 weeks old. She’s my world. I also frequently watch my mom’s Goldendoodle, Folly, who is almost 1 year now. I help friends and families with their animals but have decided to expand and would love to help with your animals! I work from home and have a flexible schedule to where I can check on your animals whenever. I’m only available for drop in visits but can do this 1-4x a day (depending on location) and can sit with your animals so they have company as well because I do this for my friend’s animals when they travel for NASCAR races on the weekend and are gone all day Sunday. I feel guilty leaving my pup so am happy to provide company for your fur babies! I am a licensed teacher and work in Ed Tech now. I am very trustworthy and responsible. I am to meet beforehand as I fully understand any reservations as that’s how I am with finding people to watch my dog when I am needing it.

About: I’ve owned pets for my entire life. I grew up raising two German Shepard puppies and currently have a beautiful Tabby cat and two lovable mutts. I love being around animals and am dedicated, warm & professional. I just arrived back home in Lake Norman from college, so I have an open schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! They’re my priority. I’ve been around pets my entire life and strive to make them feel secure, loved, and paid attention to. I’m extremely dedicated to creating a trusting environment for your pets!

About: Hi! I am a Dog Adventure Guide (self-made of course)! I love to explore new (and old) trails and go on runs or -- if your dog prefers -- just be a couch potato and watch Friends. I cater all of my care for each individual dog, so let me know what you would like; it could be throwing a ball at the lake, floating on a paddle board, or even just a small walk and a nap! I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals... from owning fluffy friends when I was younger, to volunteering at the local shelter. I have been a foster for over 2 years and would love to take care of your furry family member. As a flight attendant, I am used to situations that call for adaptability and multitasking. I try to update my schedule as soon as I know it, but as you probably already suspect, it can be a little all-over-the-place as a flight attendant!

Really appreciate Maura taking care of Gilbert. She was very responsive and took great care of Gilbert.

Madisyn showed up right on time -- did a grate job of communicating with me while she was at the house and I felt Betty was in GREAT hands!!

Meagan went above and beyond taking care of our girls. It was so nice to be on vacation and know they are having a wonderful time. She sent multiple photos of the girls on walks and playing that gave us great peace of mind. We will definitely be using her again to watch our fur babies!

Ashley is AMAZING! Highly recommend her! There are not enough words to say how appreciative we are and our pups loved her!

Michelle was fantastic! She spent a ton of time with our pet, sent detailed reports, and was always there on time. She was a great photographer, too!

Sometimes things just work out…we had an abrupt change of plans and Kathleen jumped in to save us. I’m so glad she did-it worked out better! Kathleen was punctual, attentive, and super loving on our boy.

So happy with Katelyn, she did so much than just check on my dog. She spent time with him and made him feel loved. I have already booked her again. It is so nice to have someone like her I can count on!

Emily was excellent and I will certainly recommend her to friends and family looking for dog sitting services. She was very professional and I had no concerns with her staying in my home with Charlie, my Keeshond. Quick communication, regular updates and daily photos of Charlie while I was away.
