“Shin was amazing with both of my pups and super communicative throughout the entire process from booking to pet walks! I would highly recommend her services and use her again!”


“Joann is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our two huskies, and they absolutely adore her. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, sent us pictures and kept us updated with wonderful report cards that showed just how happy and well cared for our pups were. You can tell she truly loves animals, and it shows in the way our dogs respond to her. We are so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again!”


“We are so grateful for Teresa! She took amazing care of our pups during her drop-ins. One of our dogs needs daily medication, and Teresa made sure she took it without a hitch. Another dog had an accident before she arrived, and Teresa didn’t hesitate to clean it all up—even though it wasn’t her mess. She went above and beyond by vacuuming up all the dog hair (our girl sheds a lot!) and even took the time to brush her. Truly thoughtful and attentive—we highly recommend her!”


“Annemarie was very thorough with updates and went above and beyond for our cat who was feeling under the weather right before we left for our Christmas plans! Definitely recommend.”


“I was worried about leaving my kitten alone for the first time, but Alexandra put my mind at ease! She did a great job checking in on my cat and sent regular updates and pictures. I will definitely be reaching out to Alexandra again when I need another sitter.”


“Stevie was very prompt and provided great care for my kitties while I was out of town. She did everything she was supposed to do and was very responsive. I would highly recommend her services.”


“Mo was awesome! I needed a last minute sitter for the 4th of July holiday weekend, and Mo took the job quickly! Prompt communicator, punctual, and an amazing cat photographer, and I was able to enjoy my trip knowing my baby was taken care of. I will definitely contact Mo next time I need a catsitter!”


“Elizabeth is so great with Miss Rosemary always! My sweet girl enjoys the drop in visits. I feel so at ease knowing Elizabeth will be checking on her making sure all is well when I am away!”


“Charlie has been amazing! We’ve needed someone really last minute twice now & he’s been more than accommodating & so helpful!

About: I have always had dogs in my life. I grew up on a farm and we had Goldens, Labs, and Great Pyrenees. I am no stranger to big dogs but I also love the little pups. In high school I volunteered at a Greyhound rescue. I would walk, feed and play with the pups as well as clean out their crates and their play yard. Two summers ago I had a babysitting and dog sitting job where I spent Monday-Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM with the child and the dog. I balanced the care of both the kid and the puppy, fed both and gave the dog walks. My most recent job was at Pet Wants Charlotte. To work there you're basically required to have a passion for animals. I went through extensive training and education in pet behavior and nutrition. I loved working there because we got to see pups everyday in the store and I felt very confident in my recommendations. I loved when a customer would come in with questions because I was able to exercise my knowledge and it was so rewarding for them to come back and tell me how much my recommendation helped them or how much their dog loved the food/product. Currently I am in school, so I can't have a dog but my roommates have two cats. I am currently a student at UNCC but I have a flexible schedule as most of my classes are online. I have no class Monday and Friday and am completely available on weekends. During the week I have classes Tuesday and Thursday from 1-2:30 and Wednesday from 6-7:30 and am available and flexible otherwise. My own cat sadly just passed but my roommates have two cats. Occasionally I scoop litter and feed the other two and I am always the one trusted with watching them when my roommates are traveling. When my cat was still with me I balanced his diet with wet food in the morning and fresh dry food at night, as well as keeping three stainless steel water fountains around my house. I scooped his litter once a day and fully emptied it and cleaned it every other week. I care very much about my animals and you can expect that same care and attention with yours. I love to go for runs and walks, especially if I'm doing that with a pup. I have no problem cleaning up mess or providing medicine as my roommates cat needs pill medication and eyedrops, which I have given before.

About: I go beyond basic pet sitting by offering personalized, attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. My experience includes: • Puppy Training Support – Helping reinforce potty training, basic commands, and positive behaviors. • Enrichment & Exercise – Engaging pets in stimulating activities to keep them happy and healthy. • Reliable & Trustworthy – I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for in your absence. Your pet isn’t just another booking—they’re family! I’m currently unemployed would not mind my day being taken up by your pet! Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly schedule. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize their well-being with a structured yet flexible routine: • Daily Routine: • Morning walks, feeding, and fresh water refills. • Playtime and enrichment activities to keep pets active and engaged. • Midday check-ins, potty breaks, and social interaction. • Afternoon exercise, training reinforcement, or special care for senior pets. • Evening meals, cuddles, and winding down for bedtime. • Weekly Care: • Grooming sessions, including brushing, nail trims, and baths as needed. • Deep cleaning of pet spaces, bedding, and litter boxes. Each pet receives personalized care based on their unique needs, ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and loved every day! I provide a safe, loving environment whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home. My approach is tailored to each pet’s needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and stress-free. • Maintaining your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. • Providing companionship to prevent stress and separation anxiety. • Administering medications if needed and monitoring health. • Keeping your home tidy, including cleaning up pet areas and litter boxes. • Offering updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like family, ensuring they receive the best care possible!


“I was fortunate to have LeNai watch my two dogs at my house while I was away for the weekend. LeNai was FANTASTIC! She was able to watch my two ladies on short notice and took great care of them while I was away. She adapts to the dogs needs and they seemed to love her. While the ladies were happy to see me when I got back, they were relaxed and content, which tells me they too had a good weekend. LeNai is also a great communicator and always checked in. I would definitely have her watch my girls again.”


About: I've always been a pet lover and once I became a nanny I had the opportunity to not only care for the children but the pets as well. I then started pet/house sitting. I have experience in administering medicine. I walk, bath, love and play with the pets I care for. I am a single mother and my daughter is with me all the time. We would love to take care of your fur babies who are good around children. . I'm available for morning walks/feedings. I'm also available all weekend. I work part-time as a nanny in the early afternoon till 6 but I'm free to do check ins. At the moment I am unable to provide care in my home. This is temporary and I'll offer those services again mid June, thank you.
