House Sitting Cornelius

About: I have years of experience walking dogs and petsitting both dogs and cats, whether taking them out for a walk or just keeping them company, I always prioritize your pets needs to ensure they are happy & healthy! I have experience caring for puppies and kittens all the way to senior dogs and cats, from one-time visits to a week and longer stays. As an animal lover, I find great joy in spending time with dogs and cats, ensuring they receive ample attention, and doing all I can to keep them from feeling lonely while their owners are away. I keep pets safe by avoiding any potentially dangerous situations, like walking along busy streets or getting too close to dogs who show signs of hostility (i.e growling/aggressive barking). I’d love to care for your adorable furry friends! I have a flexible schedule - I’m available for drop-in visits and walks, or to stay with your pets during the day and/or overnight! Looking for pet-sitting work in the Lake Norman area! I always prioritize your pets safety - being mindful of where we are walking, surroundings, and weather conditions, and following routines for feeding and bedtimes! I am happy to do whatever is best for your pet - whether they prefer energetic playtime or just relaxing! I keep owners up to date with messages and photos so they know their pet is in good hands!

“Edelyn was amazing with our 2 dogs! Kept us photos and updates! House was so neat and sheets washed! Bedding was made up perfectly! She will definitely be back to stay with our dogs again!!”

About: I have cared for and loved pets of all kinds all of my life. Cats, dogs, goats, rabbits, lizards and a bird. I am responsible and respectful. With age comes dependability and maturity. Plus, animals love me. I'm retired so everyday is a Saturday. I travel in a converted Sprinter van, but only a few times a year. I'm available unless already booked. I'll be happy to take care of your dog in your home and walk them in/around your neighborhood. Do they like dog parks? That can be arranged, too.

“Morgan did a great job caring for our dog and cat! Communication was seamless. The house was spotless when we returned home and I can tell she brought them a lot of comfort while we were out of town. Thanks Morgan!!”

About: We have owned pets our entire lives and have completed multiple pets sits over the past year. Jeff is retired FAA and very mechanical. Anna is a part-time Telehealth RN, meds and special care are not a problem. In the summer we live in Alaska and own multiple vacation rentals. We are very experienced and will take excellent care of your home while you are away. We love exercise and can't wait to walk your dogs, and we prefer to be home for a quiet evening. We live on the East coast during the winter, mostly in the Spartanburg, Charlotte area, where we have family. We have our own vehicle and are mature and responsible. We will take excellent care of your home and animals so you can vacation and relax. We are in the Carolinas during the winter and we are flexible to take overnight and extended stays during the fall, winter, and early spring. We hope to develop repeat pet sitting experiences for people who like to travel at the same times yearly. We will follow all your instructions for the care of your pet to meet their individual needs. We will love to cuddle, walk, and spoil them when you are gone.

“Tommy was amazing from our initial meet and greet through his entire stay with our dog, Wally. You can immediately tell Tommy genuinely loves dogs and will treat yours like his own. It was our first experience leaving our dog with anyone other than family. It was so nice not worrying one bit about Wally being in good hands. Tommy communicated with us regularly, even helped with a few things around the house while we were away and when we returned, you could hardly tell he had been here. Everything was tidy and neat. We highly recommend Tommy and plan to have him watch Wally again in the future.”

“Amanda was great - she stayed in our home and kept me informed about my dog Hank. She sent pictures and videos each day and was responsive to texts. Hank is an 80 lb lap dog, and she must have given him lots of love. When I got home, he seemed very happy, so she did her job well! Will definitely hire her again!”

About: My passion for pet care is reflected in my extensive and specialized skills. I provide personalized attention and love to each furry friend. I am skilled in training puppies, ensuring they develop good habits early on. Additionally, I have a compassionate approach to senior pet care, understanding their unique needs and offering gentle, attentive support. My commitment to maintaining a safe, happy environment for your pets truly sets me apart. Rest assured, your beloved companions will receive top-notch care and affection while you’re away. I'm currently working part-time in different schedules, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! Together, we’ll choose the ideal time for your pet! I provide pet sitting services exclusively at the client’s home. This ensures that pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment. Taking for a walk, close to their homes or local parks.

About: I've been pet sitting since I was 15, caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I provide attentive and loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. I also have a soft spot for cats! Recently, I helped raise two puppies--a Great Pyrenees and a Golden Retriever--gaining hands-on experience with training, socialization, and all the patience that comes with it. I am well-versed in puppy nipping and over-tiredness. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or extra care, I’m here to make them feel safe and happy! As a college student, my schedule is flexible--I’m usually done with classes by mid-day, so I’m only away for a few hours at most. This gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care, whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company. I also have a Golden Retriever of my own, so I understand the time, attention, and love pets need. I’m generally available any time and can easily adapt to your pet’s routine to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for! I prioritize safety and comfort for every pet in my care. At my home, I have a small fenced-in yard for secure playtime, plus access to a larger open area for supervised exercise. I’m also just a two minute walk from a spacious, fenced-in dog park—which is perfect for dogs who love to run and socialize! My neighborhood has wide sidewalks, making it ideal for safe and enjoyable walks. For pets staying with me, they’ll also have the company of my friendly Golden Retriever, who loves making new friends. If your pet prefers their own space, I can easily accommodate that as well. My Golden is crate-trained, so I’m comfortable with crating if needed.

“Briana was great in watching Zelda with Zelda accepting Briana the moment she met her. Briana gave frequent updates with pictures and we had no worries or concerns with her during her time here.”

“Caitlin stayed with our dogs for a week during Christmas break. She took great care of them with daily walks and playtime… and lots of love! We will definitely reach out for her help with them again! They love her!!!!”

About: Hello Families! My name is Aaliyah, and I’m a 20-year-old community college student with a genuine passion for caring for children and animals. I’m transitioning from working in hospital housekeeping into providing reliable, compassionate in-home care for babies, children, dogs, and cats. I have experience caring for a variety of dogs, from playful puppies to larger breeds, including pit bulls. I’ve also provided dog-sitting services for neighbors while they were traveling, making sure their pets received plenty of attention, care, exercise, and companionship while their families were away. In addition to pet care, I have hands-on infant-care experience from caring for my nephew since birth. I have been heavily involved in his daily care, including feeding, diaper changes, soothing, keeping him on a routine, and providing constant supervision. Caring for him has helped me develop patience, attentiveness, and a strong understanding of the responsibility that comes with caring for an infant. I also want to be completely transparent with families that I have a 2-year-old toddler who would accompany me during overnight sits. He is calm, well-behaved, and very easygoing. He has his own routine and would not interfere with the care I provide to your children or pets. I would always make sure your family members, pets, home, and routines receive my full attention and respect. My goal is to give families peace of mind by treating their children and pets with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust in your home and with the people and animals you love most. I am available 7 days a week, from mornings through overnight care, and I’m happy to work with families who need flexible scheduling. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, patient, and attentive, I would love the opportunity to meet your family and discuss how I can help! Warm regards, Aaliyah I am currently looking for a job in the sitting community. I am available upon request. As well as being flexible to fit what’s best. Your fur babies will love my neighborhood. Every corner you’ll see someone with their own. If you animals don’t like others that’s okay because they’re welcome in my house as if they’re my own!

“Jane took great care of our Bruce. She was on time, kept us very updated, very polite and left our home in perfect shape. Would absolutely recommend!”

Friends and family have relied on me for feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication, and general care. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.

“Great overnight sitter for my two pups. They were spoiled while I was gone for half a week. The house was immaculate upon my return. Also good communication on updates.”

“Took care of our two Bosties over a few day period. Kept us updated on how things were going frequently and left everything tidy. Looking forward to using his services again!”

About: I have experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and conditions. I have had to administer medicine such as shots, insulin, pills, and special diets. I have had 3 dogs myself, and have cared for some animals for several years. I am also working remotely so I have time to care for your animal as much as needed. I work completely remotely, with only a laptop needed. I can housesit or visit up to 5 times a day, whatever is needed. I do not have very many scheduled tasks, and walk/run daily so I can provide exercise and social time for your pets. I try to be as transparent as possible with what I do. I can provide daily pictures and updates, administer medicine or special diets, and have extensive experience with carefully and kindly managing animals that may be more unruly.

“Noelle was fantastic! She was super quick to respond initially and during her time with our doggie! ❤️”

“Deanna did a wonderful job watching our two dogs in our home over a long weekend. Appreciated her updates and photos while we were out of town.”

Tim S.

“Johnathon did a great job watching Sophie over the weekend! She is on a schedule with her feeding/supplements to keep her stable, and he did his best to stick to that and make any adjustments as needed. I appreciate his professionalism and consideration with everything going on with her, and I appreciate the communication of noticing when she wasn’t eating enough, etc. I was definitely less anxious leaving her this time. Thank you again!!”
