“Couldn’t recommend Susanna enough! I loved getting updates and pictures of my boy and I know he had a great time on his walks. Susanna is kind, trustworthy and truly cares about the animals!”
About: With many years of experience as a veterinary technician in both shelter and clinic settings, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and care to every pet I work with. My hands-on experience ranges from administering medications and handling emergencies to comforting anxious pets and supporting their emotional well-being. I’ve worked with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs, making me exceptionally well-prepared for pet sitting, dog walking, and providing attentive, professional care. Your pets will be in the hands of someone who treats them with the same compassion, patience, and expertise that I’ve developed over years in the field! I love being able to meet other people's fur babies and make them feel safe and happy when under my care.❤️ I am currently only working two days a week at my veterinary clinic, which leaves me with a fairly open and flexible schedule. This allows me plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting, dog walking, and providing reliable, attentive care for your pets when you need it most. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and behavior. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm atmosphere. When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain their regular routine to reduce stress, keep their space tidy, and make sure they feel secure and loved while their owners are away. My background as a veterinary technician means I’m also confident handling any special needs or medical situations that may arise.
About: Hi! I’m Andrea — a passionate dog sitter with 5 years of hands-on experience and four happy pups of my own. What sets me apart? I don’t just watch dogs — I understand them. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my whole life, and caring for them comes naturally. Whether your dog needs extra playtime, patience, or just some loving company while you're away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I'm looking to stay active this summer doing what I love most — giving dogs the care and attention they truly deserve. Since I’m home for the summer with completely open availability, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening check-ins, I’m flexible and fully committed to giving your dog the attention and care they need—any time of day. Your pup’s routine becomes my priority! I can care for pets in my own home, where I have a secure fenced yard and a doggie door that allows for easy, safe outdoor access throughout the day. Before we had a doggie door, our dogs were let out every 1–2 hours or whenever they waited by the door—so I’m always attentive to their needs. Dogs in my care are fed morning and night, and I stick closely to their usual routines to help them feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also happy to care for dogs in their own homes, where I can provide regular visits, feeding, walks, and plenty of attention while keeping them in a familiar environment.
About: I have had experience with animals since I was a young child, we have always had animals in our home. In the past 3 years I have had an extensive amount of professional experience dog/house sitting and love what I do. I have experience with dogs and cats ranging from puppies/kittens to seniors. I am currently a full time online student who also works part time, but I have that extra time to spend with your fur babies! I prefer for there to be a fence at the home for safety reasons but if not I will make sure that your pets receive periodic walks if needed throughout the day and lots of cuddle time!
“Megan was amazing with our Atlas! I had a family emergency out of state so I did an introduction and then Megan walked Atlas for 3.5 weeks while my husband worked. She was reliable, accept my last minute requests as I had to extend my trip multiple times, and even brought her son to play with Atlas since they became best friends at the introduction!”
About: Hello! I have around 9 years of experience taking care of pets including cats, dogs, snakes, goats, rodents, and fish. With both puppy/kitten experience and senior animal experience i am confident in my skills and above all care for animals big and small. I am experienced with specialized diets as both my senior dog and cat have special dietary needs, and I've handled giving medicine via shots, pills, and pastes. I do have some puppy training experience as well as working breed care/handling. My farm animal expertise is limited but I am confident I can learn and apply my current skills towards caring for you pets. I am a full time student and work part time as well, so my days can get a little hectic. Rest assured, my furry friends are always given every moment of my free time! I love caring for animals and being surrounded by them, so I always make a conscious effort to be with them as much as possible. Of course your furry friends will recieve that too! Meals and proper walks and playtime will always be provided, and I will do my best to fit into any routines of yours that your pet may be adapted to so they don't get stressed from the change. I make sure to strictly follow all rules set out by the pet parents, including being tidy and respectful in the area at all times. I always come alone, you can always be assured I have your pets' happiness and safety in mind. I do not currently have space to board any animals. I also don't mind doing house chores as needed especially plant care, yard cleaning, poop scooping, etc. Just let me know!!

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: I’ve had dogs since a very young age, and currently have 1 large dog. She’s a certified lovable crackhead. I’ve had cats before but don’t currently as mine thinks she can harass them. I enjoy training dogs in my free time as I work with mine regularly. I work EMS so my schedules a little weird but I’d love to help out with your fur babies. I can handle medication administration and CPR if needed. Whatever their play needs are I can work around. Whether they love long or short walks I can provide as well. I work healthcare so my schedules a little but I’ll make something work! Drop ins and walks would be the best options for me but feel free to reach out! I wouldn’t be able to care for any babies in my home but I can easily assist at yours. My baby is on a schedule of 7a/7p is breakfast/dinner. She goes outside when she alerts me, and is free roam when outside. I can follow any instructions you provide otherwise I’d care for your babies like I would mine (probably spoil them).
About: Unless you are a pet parent, no one understands what it is like for you to open your eyes in the morning only to find another pair of eyes staring at you, and this huge tongue licking you in the face. Whether you have a cat, dog, bird, etc.., you only want the best for your pet as they are more than just pets, they are family. As pet parents know, each one has his/her own personality and charm. You must have empathy and a sense of humor to be around animals. I have been around animals my entire life (over 40 years). I grew up hanging around a grooming solon knowing how to treat animals. I was taught how to train, groom, and photograph dogs. Our pets can make you laugh when your sad, and wait for you to come home at night, and love you unconditionally. My past experiences include: • Working at PetSmart Hotel • Being PetSmart certified • Knowing dog first aid • Being a dog trainer • Being a dog photographer • A dog whisperer • Working with PAWS of Rutherford County and ASPCA • A portion of candles that I made do go to PAWS of Rutherford County. • Being able to give dogs medication. I will treat your fuzzy children like my own. If you want someone who will love your dog(s) or cats and be a great substitute pet parent, then look no further than me. Have a wonderful day with your fuzzy kids! I own my own business. I can fit pet care into my schedule. I am sure I can work with the client to come into an agreement. I would like to know is there a schedule the client has for their pet, especially for the bathroom. Some pets need to go out every so often. Are there any dangers or allergies the pets has, etc. These are the types of information I will be asking the pet parent to make sure their pet is safe.
About: I have pet sat for many families in the past. I have about 3 regulars. I started pet sitting in my neighborhood about 2 and a half years ago and also got on another app and have had about 2 sittings from there. I have pet sat mostly dogs but also cats. I have done overnights, visits throughout the day, boarding in my home, walking, etc. I am also about to start including dog training! I also would love to add in hiking! I would even be up for doing day care in my home! I have also cared for senior dogs and have experience with giving medications. I have a German Shepherd so I love to get out and be active! I am currently working part time but am planning to go fully to pet sitting so I can help more pet owners out! I am not in school so I will be available the whole day to spend time with your pups. Your pup will be able to go outside when needed and get love 24/7. We have a fully fenced yard so lots of room for your pup to run! We also go on daily walks and sometimes enjoy going out hiking or to the park. I am very keen on crate training so your pup will need to be crated while unsupervised in my home. This is for mine and my dogs safety but also for your dogs safety! We keep our home very clean and dog/ puppy proof so no need to worry about your pup getting into anything! We also keep chew bones up and any high value items up. They get these high value items when they are individually in their crates or their own space! We have three dogs for your pup to play and socialize with always under supervision of me or the other person in my home.
