Pet Sitting Lake Park

About: I’ve been working with dogs for 6 years, but they’ve been my biggest passion since I was little. I have a certification in dog training, have taken a first aid class, and have experience with all kinds of pups! Dogs are my full-time job, which means your pup gets all of my time and attention! My day revolves around the care of my furr-ends! I have a fenced in yard and have a room in my home dedicated to the care of my clients! I have large comfy kennel spaces for each of my guests but if your pup happens to be social and non-destructive I would allow them to free-roam!

“Second time booking with Christina! She is an excellent communicator and very reliable. We'll definitely reach out again for help watching our pups, thanks Christina!”

About: I grew up with dogs, but I love cats, too! Now I’m just a millennial who retired early so he could play with your whatever-doodle😁. Worked in the corporate world for over a decade, left the grind last year, and now enjoy a “soft retirement”: my time is my own, my days extremely flexible. So, dogs! I am extremely comfortable with all breeds, physically able to handle the bigger/more energetic ones, too! I’d treat each as if they were my own, and follow your care instructions to a T. I’m also a very clean and tidy person, and would never leave someone else’s space in a worse state than when I found it (I’ll probably do your dishes for free, just one of my things😬).

“Helen was super responsive, flexible when I had to modify the dates a bit, and she even got my shy kitty to come out to play each day. The pictures were an added bonus. I will def ask Helen to watch Montana next trip!”

“Mary is amazing!! Our cat loves her and she always pays attention to detail when caring for him! It is nice to know someone is taking care of your pet and treating them how you would.”

“Tori was great! I was never worried when my pup was in her care. She messaged me when she was on the way to my apartment and made sure I was up to date with pictures from their walk. She communicated very well, is reliable, and trustworthy. I will definitely be going to her if I have any dog walking/watching needs in the future. Could not recommend her enough!”

I'm available to pet sit on the weekends all day, and weekdays from 9am-3pm I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your pup if they need to be .

“Jane is truly wonderful. She’s been flexible when we’ve been in a pinch and always takes great care of our furry friends. Jane asks great questions to ensure she’s up-to-date on their needs. Her communication and care are top notch. Would highly recommend!”

Casey C.

“We absolutely loved Avia! She did an amazing job with the drop-in visits for our pup and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was always on time, had excellent communication, and sent us pictures with every visit! It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pup and made sure he was happy and well taken care of. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in her hands. It’s an amazing feeling having someone you trust taking care of your pup - and we found that in Avia. We won’t hesitate to use Avia again and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, communicative, and caring! Thank you Avia!”

About: I am a bunny/dog/cat owner and have dealt with all that entails pets, from feeding, medicine, messes, playtime, walks, injuries, and more. I have had rabbits in my family for over a decade. I have done dog-sitting and home visits/walking since I was a teenager. Additionally, I have done cat drop in visits for food, water refill, pet time, and litter clean up. I currently have a flexible schedule with availability for all local pups. I am active and like walking/running and plan to make dog walking/drop ins a part time job. I always treat every pet and space the way I'd want my pets and home to be treated. It is scary to trust someone with your fur baby or your home and I hope we can discuss and alleviate any concerns. My priority is to be a positive part of yours' and your pup's day!

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have always been an animal lover. I have 2 dogs myself. I also have 2 years of experience training dogs and have been fostering dogs with Mecklenburg County Animal Care and Control for 2 years. I can train and care for puppies, or take care of seniors. Im comfortable giving pills to dogs as well. I work a small gig teaching dance to kids in their daycares. I may be away from your home for 2 hours max but will be at your home full-time the rest of the time, able to care and play with your pup(s) 24/7, potty breaks or walks every 2-4 hours. I'm here for whatever your furry family needs! Thanks for considering me! I'm very flexible to whatever your fur animal(s) needs are. I am a clean orderly person, respectful of your space and bring a sensitive empathetic approach to my animal care. I will give regular updates on how your dog is doing!

About: With 17 years of dedicated experience in dog care, I am the proud owner of three canine companions – one over 14 years old and two between 1-2 years old. Specializing in comprehensive care for senior dogs, I prioritize their well-being, and I am equally adept at managing the exuberance of high-energy dogs. Ensuring a hygienic and comfortable environment is a commitment I extend to all dogs in my care, with particular attention to the unique needs of senior dogs, including accidents, diaper changes, and puppy pad adjustments. My comfort level extends to administering medications, accommodating special diets, handling leash-pulling, and caring for larger breeds. I possess valuable knowledge in addressing the specific requirements of elderly dogs, demonstrating proficiency in managing issues like accidents, diaper usage, and the regular changing of puppy pads. I derive immense joy from engaging dogs in activities that balance their mood and energy levels, whether it's long walks, runs, or interactive play. When entrusted with a dog's care, I treat them as if they were my own, prioritizing their comfort, health, and happiness. Confident in my ability to discern any signs of discomfort or distress, I am vigilant as a pet owner and can readily identify when a dog requires assistance. I am fully adaptable and committed to following any special requests or specific needs for the pups under my care. While I may be new to professional dog sitting, my enthusiasm and passion for dogs make me eager to embark on this exciting journey. Rest assured, your furry companions will be in caring and capable hands under my watch. I can tailor the walks or check-ins to accommodate your schedule. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to adjust to the time that suits you best. In my dedicated care environment, safety, trust, and a comfortable setting are paramount for both my canine companions and future clients' dogs. With a senior dog and two energetic youngsters, my fenced-in backyard provides a secure space for them to play and explore. I understand the importance of addressing unique challenges, such as leash aggression, and have diligently worked with my dog to overcome it. I prioritize clear communication, always ensuring others are aware when encountering another dog. This proactive approach reflects my commitment to the safety and well-being of all dogs involved, fostering an environment where trust and harmony thrive.

About: My family loves to run around and play games with furry friends, and there’s always time to snuggle up on the couch. I only take one dog at a time, which allows me to offer focused care to your pet. I have taken care of family and friends’ pets for over 20 years, and would love to help out your family! I am a teacher, and have very flexible summer hours. I can accommodate whatever you need during June-August. During the school, year I am available in the afternoons. I have a fenced-in backyard in a neighborhood with lots of walking paths. I do not have any pets of my own, so we can devote all of our attention to your furry friend!

“Mylene is absolutely wonderful!! She is consistent and communicates so well with pictures and details. Being gone for such a long trip, I felt so comfortable having her come to my house everyday and look after my cat. Will absolutely use her again!”

About: My current job is taking care of dogs of all sizes and I love every moment of it. I have also grown up with two large dogs that are the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. I currently work at a pet boarding/ day care job so I currently work with pets. I can work around my work schedule to find a time that works for you. Just a heads up, I am usually scheduled for 8 hour shifts so it would be ideal if your pet is ok being alone for that long. I have two dogs of my own and they are very well house trained so that they don’t have to go in a crate when we leave the house and they get plenty of play time with us inside and outside.

About: A lifelong cat lover, I got my pet-sitting start with greyhounds — basically giant cats that can hit 40 mph and then lounge for 20 hours straight. If there's a dog bed, a couch, or a sunny patch of floor, these couch potatoes will find it! I love working with all breeds and sizes, from small dogs to big mixed breeds. It's through greyhounds that I first learned every pet has its own personality; even within one breed, and I pay attention to what each one actually needs. Walks or sprints (within fences of course), cozy downtime, and feeding and dietary needs — raw diets, allergies, or just keeping mealtime on schedule — are all part of care. I always keep a close eye on leash handling. Sighthounds especially can sometimes get distracted by everything from a rustling leaf to a squirrel three yards away. Since every dog pulls, weaves, or settles differently, I read each one and adapt. When I'm not on pet duty, I'm an artist and researcher. I grew up in this area and recently moved back after 25 years in New York City. I'm still getting reacquainted with the area, and always up for local recommendations! I generally work from home on my laptop computer, with occasional trips to my studio. Making your pet a priority and arranging my schedule around theirs is not a problem. I make sure all house rules stay intact! From feeding time to bathroom breaks. My flexible schedule allows me to put your pets needs first!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life (4 dogs and 5 cats to be exact!) I currently have 2 orange cats who I am mildly obsessed with. I work from home in the Matthews area and would love to drop by to see your pets during the day or to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I work from home in the Matthews area so my days are flexible! I can drop by if you’re out during the day, or stay longer to keep them company while you’re away! I have a fenced in yard and work from home with my husband. I live in a quiet residential neighborhood that makes going on walks easy.

About: As a proud dog mom of two, I have lifelong experience caring for pups of all shapes and sizes—from large, high-energy breeds to small, gentle ones. I’ve spent years helping friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, and overnight care. I know every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I’m dedicated to providing safe, attentive care along with frequent photo updates so you can always have peace of mind while you're away! I am currently a college student working to cover my tuition, which gives me great flexibility throughout the week! Because of my flexible schedule, I am readily available for drop-in visits, energetic walks, and overnight house sitting at your home to make sure your pets maintain their normal routine. At the moment, I don't host pets in my own home, as I prefer to provide care right in the comfort of your pet’s familiar space! Whether it's a dog or a cat, staying in their own home helps the babies feel so much safer, cozy, and relaxed instead of having to adjust to a whole new environment. Whether I’m dropping in, going for a walk, or staying overnight, I pride myself on being sweet, polite, incredibly respectful, and extra tidy with your home.

“We just started working with Jamie and will definitely use her services again. We had to leave town unexpectedly for a family member in hospice. She eased our minds during a very difficult time. She was very reliable, our kitties loved her and she has a great personality and knows customer service. So thankful to have found her.”
