“Jeffery is absolutely terrific!! We have utilized his services for 2 years now. He has not only cared for our pet, but has also been our house sitter during our trips. We have found him to be a trustworthy and honest person who provides much love and attention to our fur baby. Our pet is a family member whom we love dearly and had a tough life prior to adopting us as his new family. Due to that, we were very concerned with finding someone who would provide the same type of love and attention as he receives from us. I am very happy to say that Jeffery has provided all of that to our pet and can ensure that he will do the same for your pet. I can't thank him enough for helping us to enjoy our time away, by caring for our pet in a way that allows to relax, knowing that he is in good hands.”


“Dominique stayed at our home for 5 nights, watching our two dogs. She was very communicative, and shared many great and cute photos! She left the home immaculate and we could not have asked for a better in-home sitter!”

“Breana did a great job house sitting for our animals. The animals were well taken care of and she left our house neater than she found it. I also really appreciated the daily updates and photos she sent.”

“Andreas could not have been a better house sitter. Beaudoggie clearly loved playing and walking and the house was spotless. Would highly recommend Andrea and will for sure book her again!”

“A joy to work with and that’s an understatement. By far the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. He’s excellent with our three dogs and very attentive. He keeps us posted daily with updates and numerous pictures. His attendance is invaluable. I almost hate to give him a good review because I’m afraid of him being scooped up by other customers. You’d be lucky to have him in your home and taking care of your best friends.”


About: Hi, I’m Anneliese! As a dog owner for over 13 years, I know firsthand that pets are truly family. I understand that every single pet has their own unique personality, quirks, and routine, and I pride myself on taking the time to truly understand what makes your furry friend feel safe and happy. Whether it’s matching the high energy of a spirited small dog, respecting the independent boundaries of a cat, or maintaining the peaceful routine of a senior pet, I’m here to provide dedicated, personalized care. I’ll treat your home with total respect and your pets like my own! My schedule is perfectly suited for house and pet sitting. I am a full-time student taking online classes, which means my 'desk' moves wherever I go! I’m highly flexible and will be spending most of my day right alongside your pet, keeping them company while I study. Your pet gets a dedicated buddy, and you get peace of mind knowing their routine won't be disrupted. To ensure the absolute best experience for your pet, I exclusively offer house sitting and pet care inside your home. At my own home, I have a happy family of four cats and one dog, so I know firsthand how stressful a crowded or unfamiliar environment can be for animals! By coming to your home, I ensure your pet gets to stay in their safe, comfortable haven with 100% of my undivided attention. My personal 'zoo' has taught me that every single animal has a distinct personality, boundary, and set of needs. I will treat your home with the utmoste respect while following your exact routine for feeding, playtime, and safety. Because my college classes are mostly online, I will be around your house for most of the day, keeping your pet company and sending you plenty of photo updates!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have spent the last 9 years pet sitting for friends and family. I also worked in pet stores for a while, so I’ve cared for all animals. I’m a student over at UNCC, so I’m in the University City area pretty much 24/7. When I’m watching your pet, I treat them like my own. I’m super careful about making sure harnesses are secure on walks and staying on top of feeding times or meds. You’ll definitely get a ton of photo updates from me while you're away so you know they’re doing okay! I am currently on summer break so I am open to whenever you need me. I have a car so I am able to drive as well. I have plenty of experience with all animals. I have been pet sitting for years as well as worked at pet stores and handled pet care so I have experience with all types of animals.
“Chelsea did an amazing job with Winnie. I know how excited Winnie can be when meeting new people and Chelsea handled it very well. Thank you! I will be booking again.”

“Awesome experience - will definitely look to book with her again next time we're out of town. We received great pics while we were away. It was nice seeing our dogs snuggling up with her looking comfortable and relaxed. One of our pups was having some allergy issues while we were away. We received pics pretty quickly when she started looking a little rashy and asking us to confirm how we wanted her to handle it (as we had discussed before the trip). She reacted fast and our dog was happy and healthy by the time we got home with no rash or redness at all. We're very happy to recommend her. Our dogs and our home were in great hands while we were away.”

“Thank you so much for caring and taking care of our cats!!! I really appreciate you caring about their safety and wellbeing as much as we do, and I genuinely appreciate all of the communications and pictures. We will definitely use you again!”

“Ethan was absolutely amazing with our anxious English Bulldog for overnight dog sitting! He took the time (and multiple visits) for George to become totally comfortable! He was excellent and very knowledgeable about dogs and their personality quirks! 10/10 will be booking him again!”

“Victory did terrific job with my three dogs! Victory administered thyroid medicine for one of my dogs twice a day. Victory was also wonderful with my puppy, and total she had three dogs and did an amazing job. Thank you!”

“Karena was a wonderful pet sitter for us! Our usually skittish chihuahua mix even came to like sitting by jet and getting pets. Her calm caring energy really helps anxious dogs! Karena also sent pics and videos throughout our booking which was very reassuring. Overall, we highly recommend her!”

“Crystal is the perfect pet sitter. She is so sweet with our 3 cats and 1 big 130lb dog. She is very communicative and took great care of the animals. She was flexible when our flight was delayed and was able to stay another night in case there were more flight issues. She stayed with the animals 90% of the time. I highly recommend her!! Thank you so very much Crystal!”

“Kendal was great with our senior dog . Communication was top notch ! Ensured timely meal and medications. Highly recommend her . Looking forward to availing her services again .”

“Leah recently watched our two dogs at our house and we couldn't have been happier! She spent lots of time with them, sent a few pictures and they were happy and healthy when we got home. At the last minute, one of the dogs had to get eye drops twice a day and Leah accommodated that extra request without any issues whatsoever. She even went the extra mile to clean up around the house, take out the trash, and get some laundry going. We so appreciate her taking great care of our pups!”

Jaqui is so great! She communicated with us and sent plenty of pictures. She took great care of our home leaving it cleaner than she’d found it. She was with our nervous pup for a week and took such good care of her. It was a relief to know she was there taking care of things for us.

Laney is amazing! She was so punctual for any meeting we had. She always got up the same time every morning to take care of our 4 animals. She sent us pictures while we were gone and left the house exactly as we left it while being comfortable but extremely respectful of our house. Could not recommend more.

We couldn’t have asked for a better rover than Sam to watch our dog for a week when we went on vacation! She was consistently updating us with pictures and we were NEVER worried for a second about our dog while we were away. Our dog definitely loved her and she was great with him especially considering he’s very big and energetic. Overall, we would recommend Sam to anybody and will definitely be booking with her in the future!
