“Kimberly is AMAZING!! Our dog loved her immediately at the meet and greet and she snuggled with her all night while we were gone. She sent the cutest photos and videos too! We will definitely ask her to watch Ruth again!!! It’s the best to find someone you have complete peace of mind with and Kimberly is that!”

“Karleen did such an amazing job with my 3 dogs!! My house has never looked this nice upon a dog sitting return! Considering it rained all weekend this huge!! Highly recommend.”

“Yenny was fantastic! She took great care of our 16-year-old mini dachshund mix in our home. Because of her age, our dog requires a lot of medications with her meals, and Yenny handled it all like a pro. She was proactive and communicative and shared photos with us every day. We plan to book Yenny again and highly recommend her services!”

“Excellent communication, confident with a energetic and demanding dog while maintaining a calm and loving presence would highly recommend and hire again to watch Ragnar”

“Always know our girls are loved when Chrissonna stays with them. Our house is just like we leave it when she stays. We have had great experiences with Chrissonna and will continue to have her take care of our babies.”

“Shannon was great! Communicated quickly and clearly with appropriate expectations. Highly recommend & hope to have her suit my pups again in the future!”

“Jojo is fabulous all around. She spoiled both my dog and cat rotten. She sent us pictures and videos every single day and was extremely communicative. My Frenchie Luna even had an allergy outbreak and jojo gave her a bath for us with her medicated shampoo. I was blown away by her kindness, responsiveness and how she really went above and beyond.. even taking out the trash and cleaning up around the house before we returned home. 1000000/10. Will definitely be booking her for now on.”

“Emily was fantastic with our two hounds! She was very thorough in making sure she understood their routine and took the time to ask thoughtful questions so everything was done just right. She kept us updated with pictures and regular communication, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. The boys clearly loved her, and it was obvious they were well cared for. She also left our home in great condition. We would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter, and we’d be happy to book with her again!”

About: I'm Nick, and I've been a lifelong pet enthusiast with a deep passion for dogs and cats. My journey into pet care began at the age of 10 when I took on the responsibility of caring for my own dog. Over the years, I've had the privilege of being involved in raising two litters of adorable puppies with my family, and I've watched over our family dogs well into their golden years. We had a special place in our hearts for Doberman Pinschers, along with a few lovable mutts, as our loyal companions. Additionally, although I'm slightly allergic, I've shared my life with two charming cats during my upbringing. I've often been the go-to person for family and friends when they needed a trustworthy caregiver for their dogs and cats while they were on vacation or weekend getaways. I've had the privilege of caring for a wide range of breeds, from small and feisty to large and gentle giants. I take great pride in my attention to detail, particularly when it comes to pets with special needs or requiring medication. Your furry family members will receive the same love, care, and attention that I've always provided to my own. Currently, I have a beautiful 60-pound Boxer mix, and I understand the importance of a pet's comfort in their own environment. I understand that life can get busy, so I'm here to accommodate your pet's needs in my schedule. I'm most flexible from Friday through Sunday, making it the perfect time to ensure your pet has a weekend full of fun and love. For occasional visits throughout the week, I can certainly make arrangements, but it would require further inquiry due to my full-time job. My love for walking is a perfect match for your dog's exercise needs, and it's a wonderful way for me to stay active too. Long walks are preferred, and I stick to safe, well-known routes to ensure the utmost security for your furry friend. The safety of your beloved pet is my number one priority. I'm meticulous when it comes to securing and double-checking leashes, especially for energetic puppies. Ensuring your senior cat or dog receives their medications on time is a responsibility I take very seriously. I believe in treating your pets just as I've always treated my own, with love, patience, and respect. Your pet's environment will be respected, and their routines maintained to minimize any disruption to their daily life. Rest assured, your pets are in caring, capable hands. Their happiness, health, and safety are my top concerns. I look forward to becoming your pet's new best friend and providing them with the love and care they deserve. Let's embark on this pawsitively wonderful journey together! 🐾
“Lia was absolutely amazing!! She took great care of our pup and home while we were away. Appreciated her keeping us updated and sending pictures. Will definitely be using again!”

About: I have over 6 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Throughout the years, I’ve provided pet-sitting services for family, friends, and clients, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure their pets feel comfortable and loved while they’re away. In addition to pet sitting, I’ve volunteered with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control, where I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for animals with different needs and temperaments. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I always strive to provide the same love and attention that I would give my own. I’m a full-time student with flexible availability. I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs and make sure your pets get the care they deserve! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play, relaxation, and quiet time. I ensure all areas are secure and free of hazards, creating a safe haven for my furry friends. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow your guidelines to maintain a familiar, stress-free environment for your pet. I pay close attention to their needs and routines to ensure they feel safe, loved, and happy at all times.
“Yvonne was all around amazing! We had an unfortunate event happen to our dog Hudson the morning we were leaving town and he ended up having to get his toenail removed and was given medication to be administered twice daily and had to wear a cone and a foot bandage. So what was supposed to be a pretty low maintenance pet sitting job turned into something much bigger. I cannot express how amazing Yvonne was through it all, so communicative, gentle, flexible and understanding! She was even willing to help us out by taking him to the vet to get his bandage changed. It was so stressful to have all that going on to our dog while we were thousands of miles away but she sent us updates multiple times a day with photos which helped ease my anxiety and stress. Yvonne was by far the best sitter we have had! We will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone needing a truly high quality and caring sitter!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about four years, and owned a cat for two. I’m looking for more formal experience. I love fur babies and have dog sat up to four dogs from one home. Older dogs are welcomed too! Pet sitting is perfect for my schedule as a full time undergraduate student. Most opportunities are over the weekend and walking during period of the day I don’t have class; allowing me to work through out with a manageable schedule. I clean after the animals, cuddle with them, and play in and outdoors. I find myself caring for them similarly to the way I care for my plants at home by talking positivity to them casually through out the day. I also ask a lot of questions to ensure that life with me isn’t too different from life with their owners.

“Cindy was great, would definitely use her again! She gave us updates and made us feel at ease on our vacation. She left our house as clean as she left it too!”


“We enjoyed having Madelynn stay with our girl, Emmy while we were away on vacation! She was flexible, communicative, and took good care of our girl and our home!”

“Montana was above and beyond!! Sunny can be quite shy at first, and I was so pleased with all of the pictures and efforts Montana went to! I would 1,000 % recommend her to stay with your pets! Will absolutely be booking again if she is available!!”

The median cost per night for house sitting in First Ward is $50

Chea is absolutely wonderful and took great care of our two dogs on our recent extended vacation abroad. She looked after our home while we were away and treated our fur babies like they were her own. Her updates were welcomed daily and it was such a relief to know that everything was taken care of while we were away. I can’t recommend her enough and hope she’ll be back at some point to love on our two again. Thank you, Chea!!!!

Sarah was awesome! I was transparent that I was a bit nervous about leaving Millie because I was going out of the country. She was great about sending daily updates with photos and putting me at ease that everything was going well. My apartment was clean and looked basically untouched when I returned, which was great after a long travel day. Overall I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone who needs pet care while they are out of town. She has great communication, is reliable, and definitely treats your pets like they are her own.

Courtney has taken care of our pups a few times now and I highly recommend her! She’s so friendly and professional, she’s great with the dogs who seem to really love her, and she’s a very thoughtful house guest … she always takes excellent care of our home and our dogs when we’re away! An easy five star review every time!

We’ve tried several dog sitters this year and Melanie was by far the best one. She was super communicative and followed every request we made for Charli. She also made sure the house was nice and clean for us when we came back. Charli also was really happy in the updates sent and when we arrived home.
