Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Idlewild South, Charlotte, NC

“Look no further! Joann was the greatest taking care of our elderly, special need, Jack Russell. Throughout her visits, she communicated appropriately and was very dependable. More importantly, she is very sweet, kind, and professional. It really meant a lot to know our baby was so well cared for. Without any hesitation, she is highly recommended! 🩶”

“I procrastinated and needed a last minute a pet sitter for my cat during the holidays. Annemarie was really accommodating to my needs on such a short notice, willing to even do a meet and greet on the day of booking since I had to leave the next day. Overall, Annemarie is a wonderful and trustworthy person who will send update pictures and videos of your four-legged best friend while following the notes you left to a T. Definitely recommend.”

“Kristin was an amazing cat sitter! One of our cats was dealing with some health issues before we had left, Kristin was very attentive and was there twice a day to give him his medicine. Very detailed updates and tons of cute pictures! We truly feel like she cared for our cats like they were her own. 10/10 recommend!”

“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!”

“Our boxer, Maggie, was really timid and nervous. Max spent a LOT of time letting her get comfortable around her. He even came over for a second meet and greet to ensure she got to know him. Max (and his wife) went way above our expectations and we are glad to have found him.”

Kathleen G.

“Riley is great! She's very knowledgeable and experienced with all types of dogs. My Murphy can be a bit anxious but Riley's calm demeanor eased him right away.”

About: Growing up around dogs and having two of my own, I understand the separation anxiety of leaving them at home for long periods or for vacations (been there!). I also understand if you have specific lists of needs as well (been there too!) So I will ensure your doggo is well loved and you get as much contact from me as you need to feel comfortable. I am currently a grad student, so most of my days are spent at home or being active outside (I like walking, hiking and I run 5-6x/week). This makes my days very flexible with what I can fit into my schedule. I can guarantee they will fit right in. If we book an appointment, that means my time is now theirs! I can stay over if your pet likes their home, or I have a fenced yard with a large doggie door for in/out access. I also have a separate doggie couch we can chill on and they are welcome to get on the bed at night (unless you have a no-furniture rule!) I do pick up backyard waste wherever they stay. It's no fun playing in poo...or coming home to a yard full of it! I just had to say goodbye to my beloved chocolate lab/vizsla from cancer who was a tripod, so your doggo would have the run of the house. This also means I can give medication and look after dogs that need extra care.

“Minh always does amazing!! She’s watched our pack time and time again and each time goes the extra mile to make sure they’re taken care of!! Thank you so much!!”

“Nataly was absolutely incredible. I have a chihuahua and she’s extremely shy, but after a day she already trusted Nataly! Nataly was so patient and very communicative, I would def be using nataly’s services again in the future.”

“Daizsha took great care of our cats while we were gone over the holidays. Clearly a very kind and thoughtful person, I would recommend her! She stayed in touch and communicated well, and interacted with the girls a lot. We really appreciate her.”

About: I grew up around animals all my life. My mother was a talented vet tech and with her I helped take care of many different breeds of dogs, cats and more! I have plenty of time in the afternoon and evenings to care for your pets well being. I work through the week so weekends are a great option too! I live in a safe and quiet neighborhood with other pet owners. My backyard has a secure fence so your dog can enjoy an outside play area. I also have a greenway close by that is great for walks!

About: I raised my Shih Tzu from 3 months up until I lost him to kidney disease on 9/11/2024. I walked him on a regular basis except rainy days (he hated getting wet lol), he was potty trained and free to roam the house while I was not home. Everyone ( family, friends, neighbors) knew how much I loved and cared for him. When he was in his last days from kidney failure, I stayed by his side until the end. I kept his routine the same. I pushed him in his stroller when he could not walk anymore. Administered him an IV daily to keep him hydrated when he barely ate and drank. I laid with him and held him until he let me know it was time for him to go to that Rainbow Bridge. I currently work Monday - Friday with an unpredictable schedule. Saturdays & Sundays are best for me at this time. Some holidays will be an option as well. Example, Martin Luther King, Presidents Day Before I lost my dog to kidney disease, he was potty trained and free to roam the house. I walked him when I got home and he was my cuddle buddy when it was time to go to bed.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats of all breeds and personalities. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet like they’re my own—whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet cuddle time. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have flexible availability throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins. Whether it’s early mornings, midday visits, or evening care, I can adapt to meet each pet’s needs reliably and consistently. For me personally, I take my dogs on a walk in the morning. When I get home we go for another walk. And before we go to bed, we go on another walk and have playtime. Whether caring for pets in my home or at the client’s, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and comforting environment. I follow their usual routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. This makes them feel secure and happy. In my home, I provide a pet-friendly space with lots of love and attention. In the client’s home, I treat it with respect and keep pets relaxed in their familiar surroundings.

About: With 4 years of hands-on pet care, I’ve worked with dogs of all kinds—from playful pups to rescues needing extra patience and structure. I’ve fostered dogs with fear-based behaviors, low socialization, and leash reactivity, and helped them grow more confident through trust-building, calm leadership, and positive reinforcement. I began basic training with both fosters, working on leash skills, handling, and commands to set them up for success in their forever homes. I also trained my own golden retriever from puppyhood using positive-reinforcement methods and a focus on building a strong, trusting relationship. He’s now a friendly, well-mannered pup who loves to play and welcomes other dogs into our home. I provide a calm, loving home where pups can relax, play, and feel safe. I work from home 2–3 days per week, which means plenty of companionship, potty breaks, and enrichment throughout the day. On the days I work away from home, I’m gone no more than 7 hours—and never overnight. My home is in a walkable area with no elevators and easy access to an off-leash dog park. There’s plenty of space for your pup to feel comfortable, plus a well-socialized golden retriever who loves having a playmate. I keep a clean environment with clear, consistent boundaries inside and on leash, ensuring your pup gets structure, love, and attention that meets their unique needs—whether they’re playful, shy, or somewhere in between. When caring for your pup in your home, I prioritize keeping things consistent and comfortable. I take the time to understand your routines, rules, and preferences so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. Every household—and every dog—is different, and I’m here to support your style of care. Whether that means sticking to a specific walking schedule, reinforcing house rules, or maintaining feeding rituals, I’ll follow your lead to ensure your pup feels safe, secure, and right at home.

About: I have had family dogs my entire life and there are currently five dogs at my family home. I am very good at making dogs feel comfortable with me and love their companionship. I am happy to baby them as much as their parents would! I am currently unemployed and have a very free schedule. It would be great to work some furry friends into a daily or weekly schedule! I currently live in an apartment where I can take the dogs for long and/or frequent walks. I also have hardwood floors so the dogs would have access to the entire apartment.
