“Dana was absolutely wonderful! She kept me updated with plenty of photos and messages throughout the day, which gave me such peace of mind. My dog looked genuinely happy, relaxed, and right at home in her care. It’s clear she truly loves what she does. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be booking with her again”

About: NOTE: I’m currently offering lower rates while I build my sitter profile (updated 9/13/26). I’ve been pet sitting for over 8 years and have a lifelong love for dogs. I was the proud owner of a beagle named Larson for 14 wonderful years. He crossed the rainbow bridge in 2023 from natural causes, and caring for him gave me firsthand experience with the love, patience, and attention our pets deserve. Over the years, I’ve cared for many friends’ dogs while they were away on vacation. You can trust that your precious pup(s) will be in loving, dependable hands with me! I enjoy giving each dog plenty of attention and affection, including singing to them and providing gentle leg and back massages (if they enjoy them!). 😊 I’ll treat your pup(s) with the same care and love I would want for my own. I currently annd unexpectedly have tons of time on my hands. I will be more than happy to care for your animal with my newfound time. I’m readily available! I live in a 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath single story brick ranch home in east Charlotte. I have a big back yard that is fenced in on three sides. I live in a very safe, walkable neighborhood. I will keep your dog on leash at all times while walking and on a leash or tether while playing in the backyard. For their and my furniture’s safety I will crate your pup if I must leave my home to run an errand or two. However, I will try my best to have any errands complete prior to your dog’s arrival.

About: Hello, Rover world! My name is Gerardo, and I am the proud human to Elle and Tayter Dot. I am here to find fun playmates for my girls by hosting your pets. Since I'm already a dog parent, I'm already doing the dog routine - feeding, walking, playing, etc. Adding your pup to the routine will be pretty natural as a result. Hubs and I work from home, so we are actively spending time with your dog no matter what! We ask that your pet be housebroken. If they have a crate, we can add that to our routine, though our girls have full reign of the house. (It's their house, I just live in it.) Your pet can expect fresh water, a clean home, a yard to run in, and lots of treats. (Maybe also a weird dog voice...sorry not sorry!) For the safety of all involved, we require a meet and greet as it is our best way to vet how your dog will get along with ours. I do my best to walk the girls more than once a day. We are regulars at various trails and greenways, as well as hanging with other friends and their dogs. My spouse and I are attentive to the needs of our girls, and will treat your dog like one of our own. You can expect your dog to be loved on, with lots of fetch in the yard, snuggles on the couch, and homemade treats for all. We also both work from home so your dog will have human and canine company through their visit.

“Amazing Experience with Anthony! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Anthony was absolutely wonderful with my Shih Tzu, Gizzle, at doggie day camp yesterday! He was up bright and early and ready for Gizzle at drop-off. Throughout the day, he kept me updated with important information and sent me pictures of Gizzle. ❤️ Just by looking at the pictures, I could tell Gizzle was happy, comfortable, and being treated with great care. I truly appreciate Anthony’s communication and the love and attention he gave my fur baby. I would definitely recommend him and will be booking with him again! 🐶💕”

About: Hello, I have had a dog since I was a little girl that I helped take care of back home until I moved away to college. I miss taking care of my dog. Feeding them, bathing them, & taking them on walks. I work remote most days so I’m pretty flexible with my time. I will be able to pour a lot of time into the dogs. I will let them be free in my townhome. I can also use a crate if needed. I like to let them be free. Pets are like a therapy to me so I will be playing with them and just making sure they are getting the attention they deserve and need.

About: Hi! I'd love to care for your dog, cat, or other pet on weekends (visits, sitting, walks, or boarding in my own home). Sitting or boarding on weekdays would work for me as well. (I can take your dog on my runs with me if you would like!) I have had pets stay at my home overnight, and also have stayed overnight at their home, whichever you prefer is fine by me! I have been caring for other families' dogs for about 15 years now, and if you would like, I can provide you with some references. I also grew up with cats and dogs in our home. I work remotely, so I will be home for most of the day, and will be available to play with your pet, take them for walks, potty breaks/etc. throughout the day. I have one medium sized dog crate I can provide if you would prefer to leave yours at home! I also have food and water bowls. We do have our own dog (the dog in my profile photo), who is very friendly and gets along with other dogs, cats, and people. She is extremely sweet and spends most of the day napping. We have the means and space to keep your pet separated from our dog if that is needed or desired.

“Olga was wonderful! Her sweet little girl got along great with my small dogs. She was very attentive and provided regular pupdates. My dogs loved staying with her and we will definitely be using her again very soon!”

Cristina W.

“Lindsey was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Ember! She is incredibly caring, attentive, and compassionate, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. She took the time to make sure my dog felt comfortable and cared for, and she kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. I could tell my dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I returned. Lindsey goes above and beyond to provide excellent care, and I would not hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”

About: Your dog won't be alone here. There's always someone home during the day, so nobody's sitting in a crate for eight hours waiting on an empty house. We start with a walk in the morning, spend the day however your dog likes to spend it (fenced backyard, couch privileges, a lot of naps), and go out again in the evening. There's a greenway close by that we'll drive to when somebody needs to really stretch their legs. My Great Pyrenees Jira is nine and roughly the size of a loveseat. I've been doing this for ten years. I'm First Aid and CPR certified, I'm comfortable with oral medication and feeding schedules, and I have a lot of patience for senior dogs and nervous ones. If your dog has a routine that keeps them happy, tell me about it and I'll keep it going.I send photo updates on every single stay, because I know the hardest part of leaving your dog is not knowing how they're doing. A few things clients have trusted me with: nursing a pup through a stomach bug that started the morning of drop off, learning a dog's seizure plan before he ever set foot in my house, and replacing a collar a puppy chewed to pieces so her mom didn't come home to bad news. Twenty one families book with me over and over, and I'm a little proud of that one. Free meet and greet before you book, either at my place or a dog park nearby. No pressure at all. My current schedule is pretty free all week for dog boarding, and drop in/walks. If an earlier or later time I can make it work ! I can handle most pets, if they need a harness put on or muzzles for when being walked. Being crated and uncrated for walks and play time. If treats are available in instructions they will get one, I will also have my own treats on hand. Please list any allergies the fur baby may have so I am aware.

About: Hello, I'm an experienced pet owner, and dog lover. When you are away your dog deserves more than just a place to stay. While boarding with me every pup becomes part of our family. That means cozy naps, playtime in the yard, daily walks, and endless cuddles from people who truly care. I know how important is to find someone you can trust to take care of your fur family. I'm available during the day for walks and potty breaks as well. I am now retired from the Education field, and I have plenty of availability during the day. I am available Monday through Sunday from 8 am to 6 pm. I only board 2 pups at a time so your furry friend will always get the attention, love and comfort they are used to at home. More than boarding, it's Family care for your best friend.

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old and have experience with a variety of breeds, each with their own unique personalities and care needs. My experience includes Siberian Huskies, Chihuahuas, Yorkshire Terriers (Yorkies), Labrador Retrievers, and Boxers. Through years of hands-on care, I've become comfortable with daily feeding routines, walks, playtime, exercise, basic grooming, reinforcing good behavior, and providing companionship. I'm attentive to each dog's individual routine and committed to creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while they're in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide attentive, reliable care while following each pet's unique routine and needs. I have a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with a dedicated sunroom where pets can relax and enjoy a comfortable environment. While I do not have a private yard, I live in a pet-friendly neighborhood with access to walking areas and a nearby dog park, allowing for plenty of exercise, fresh air, and outdoor enrichment. I also have an affectionate Ragdoll cat who is comfortable around other animals and enjoys companionship. I always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where every pet feels comfortable and cared for.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who has grown up with dogs and truly can’t imagine life without them. Dogs have always been a big part of my family, and they honestly come second only to my son in my heart. I’m currently the proud dog mom of two sweet pups, a Maltipoo and a Cairn Terrier mix, who love meeting new dog friends and having playtime. Because I’m already used to the daily routine of walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and lots of cuddles, caring for dogs comes very naturally to me. I offer a safe, loving environment where your dog will be treated like part of the family. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some company during the day, or a cozy place to stay, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your dog is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work remotely from home, which allows me to be present with the dogs throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to take regular walk breaks, provide playtime, and make sure your pup gets plenty of attention and care. My home is calm, clean, and dog-friendly. During the day, my two dogs free roam the house. They love lounging on the couch, looking out the window, or hanging out in my office while I work. They’re friendly and used to having a relaxed routine with lots of love and supervision. At night, my dogs sleep safely in their crates as part of their routine. I’m comfortable following whatever sleeping arrangements your dog is used to so they feel as comfortable as possible while staying with me.

“Jared was awesome! Loved that he took time to walk my dog on long walks which Buck lives and that my dog enjoyed his stay! Highly recommend Jared as he was a great communicator and really catered for my dog!”

“Megan took great care of my little senior dog and sent updates with lots of photos. Her sweet dog Lilly was the perfect pal. Really great experience!”

About: I have lifelong experience with dogs, caring for both my own and others’ pets since childhood. My experience includes providing attentive care to elderly dogs, particularly during my time with my aging corgi. While I love dogs of all ages, I understand the unique needs of senior dogs and am committed to ensuring their comfort and well-being. Unfortunately, we cannot accept pit bulls or Staffordshire terriers. I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to tailor my schedule to your dog’s needs and level of activity. I can provide exceptional care for your pet because I will be home all day during the work week. I am especially good at following your instructions. I have been been taking a walk every day for years and would love to take your dog with me.
