“This was our first time using this app and she made it a great experience! Had an amazing meet and greet, the communication was spectacular, and our cats got super comfortable with her quickly. Will not be the first time we book with her! Highly recommend!”
“Teresa was really phenomenal. We went away for 2 weeks and she made us feel comfortable and confident that our kitties (and fishy) were being loved and cared for in the best way. Her updates were thorough and she went out of her way to make sure everything was taken care of. She gave all the love to my very friendly cat and still made sure to have daily sightings and pictures of my not-so-friendly cat. She is a true pet lover and amazing sitter and we will for sure book her again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all breed (10 pounds to 100 pounds) and all ages (6 months to 10 years) with feeding, potty breaks, and walking. As well as, house/pet sitting for a week at a time with multiple dogs and multiple times. Currently a grad student at Charlotte with my class schedule being Tuesday and Thursday 10am to 12:30pm and Wednesday 10am to 3:30pm. Starting in the fall my class schedule will change to mtwth starting at 8am till 12pm and I will 10-15 hours of clinicals. I have three Bernese Mountain Dogs back home that I have fed, gave potty breaks, walked, and played with. Being able to handle those three 80+ pound dogs, has allowed me to be able to feel comfortable handling pets of all sizes.
“Away on Thanksgiving vacation, Chris stepped up and provided excellent support services for my pet. Drop in visits are nothing spectacular; however with Chris those visits must have had an impact on my pet because she's somehow different in her behavior. I will attribute it solely on Chris' care and attention. What I love most about Chris' reports is the humor and candidness on how my pet was doing and behaving including detailed photos of water bowls and food containers. Coming home after a long flight to see my pet's toys all in one place (remarkable feat) and what appears to me a carpet vacuum (??)....well...that is incredible service. I don't expect the extra mile, but it seems that's just Chris being....Chris!”
“Claire was great! We had a last minute need for a sitter for our kitty, and she couldn’t have been more gracious and helpful. She took great care of our kitty and even went the extra mile by taking out our trash on trash day. We had peace of mind while we were away because our kitty was in excellent hands!”
“At first I was nervous leaving Jack for almost a whole week, but by the second day, I felt he was in good hands. She let him do his own thing so he was comfortable. Daunica also kept me updated and has good communication!”
“Love Samantha. Took care of Simba well. She’s the pill whisperer lol … punctual and responsible and kept me updated after each visit to ease my mind. Highly recommend her and will surely use her again!”
