“I have used Teresa’s services at 3 times. She is amazing and has definitely exceeds expectations. She noticed and turned my water hose off after I left it running for a whole day 🤦🏽♀️. She also has returned when my cat got out of the house and didn’t return during her scheduled time. She’s really the only person I have experience with on this platform. Thankful she has been available when I need a sitter for my 2 cats.”

“Diamond was super helpful with our Shiba Inu when we had to go out of town unexpectedly. She sent us plenty of pictures, left detailed notes, and even swept up some of the dog hair before leaving our home. I’d definitely book Diamond again!”



“Beckye was wonderful with our dogs this week as I finished up school. Came in and checked on both of them midday, made sure they were fed and taken care of before leaving, and sent us pictures of them during her visit. We were so pleased and are thankful to have found her, she did great and our dogs loved her.”


“Absolutely fantastic experience with Jennifer! She took incredible care of Missy for the 5 days I booked and took on an additional 2 days I needed despite the unusually bad weather we had in Charlotte (Snow & Ice). Missy is usually quite skittish, but Jennifer managed to make Missy feel at ease and provided daily updates with pictures. The apartment was left spotless, and all Missy's needs were met with such attention to detail. You can tell Jennifer genuinely care about animals. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable, loving pet sitter!”


About: My family has had dogs since I was 10 years old. I was also previously a nanny to a family who had dogs, so I took care of them daily, and frequently sat for them when the family was away, as well as watched many family members dogs. Being a dog mom myself, I realize how important it is to have your dog be taken care of and treated like one of the family, and to be given all of the love you would give them yourself! I am a stay at home mom, with both of my kids in school during the day, so I have a lot of time to give your doggy lots of attention! We have a huge fenced in yard that is bigger than a lot of dog parks, so your dog will have all the space they need to run laps (and two boys who will happily accompany them in doing so!). With me being home during the day, your dog will have the freedom to come in and out of the house at their own leisure! Plus I live in a great neighborhood that is perfect for multiple walks a day. I am happy to meet up before your dogs stay so you can see the space! Plus, since I already have a dog, my house is very dog-friendly (ie we keep doors shut so they can’t get into the bathroom, & we keep all shoes and other tempting chewy objects out of reach!) & we have a gate up so the dogs can’t wander about upstairs to get into trouble or out the front door! Our dog is a spoiled princess (she believes she is just one of us humans!) & has plenty of toys and treats & beds to share! After we got our dog and started needing sitters for her when we would go away, I realized how hard it was to find someone with a house/yard where my dog could feel comfortable/at home, and so I wanted to be able to provide that space for other pet owners! (As well as the added fact that if you have a social dog, they would have their own little friend to play with!)

“Sharon did a great job with my very shy, timid cat Sara. Sara greeted me immediately. Usually she sulks and continues to hide. Not this time! Thank you Sharon!”


About: Over a decade experience watching animals ranging from toys under 15 lbs to over 80 lbs. Also experienced in cats, reptiles, and other types of critters. Recently relocated from NWFL to be closer with family, I’m missing my old furry client base and excited to meet yours! Work from home so I’m free for walks, drop ins, or stayovers My schedule is completely open! I’m looking for some pups/cats that I can hang out with, walk, and love on while their humans are out of town or at work. I always do my best to make animals feel safe around me, and make sure to work around whatever special needs a dog has. I have worked with dogs needing medication, special food requests, and I have experience with E Collars as well.

About: With over half my life dedicated to caring for animals, especially dogs—including seniors who need extra love and attention—I bring a wealth of experience to pet sitting. While my primary experience is with dogs, I have also cared for small animals such as rabbits and gerbils, demonstrating my ability to handle a variety of pets with care and attention. My professional journey as a firefighter, both in the Navy for 4 years and as a municipal firefighter for 19 years, has equipped me with the skills to handle emergencies and provide care in stressful situations, often involving pets in people's homes. Now retired, I am thrilled to channel my passion for animals and my drive to serve into full-time pet sitting. You can trust that your pets will receive 100% of my attention, care, and availability, with the added assurance that I am prepared for any unexpected circumstances. My background ensures that your pets are not just cared for, but protected and loved. With my retired status, I enjoy a highly flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate ample time to pet sitting. I am a coparent and have my 12-year-old daughter with me every other week. During those times, I ensure that my pet sitting commitments are fulfilled without compromise. My daughter is also an animal lover and has experience caring for pets, which can be an added benefit for services, though I always prioritize the comfort and preferences of the pet owners. For house sitting and drop-in visits, my availability remains consistent, as I can schedule around her school hours and activities. When she is not with me, I have even greater flexibility to accommodate your pet's needs, whether for short-term or extended care. I am committed to providing reliable and attentive care for your pets, tailored to their individual routines and your scheduling needs. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize their safety and well-being above all else. My background as a firefighter has equipped me with the skills to handle emergencies calmly and effectively, ensuring that both your pets and your home are protected. I will follow any specific instructions you provide regarding your pet's care routine, feeding schedule, and any household rules. I treat your home as if it were my own, respecting your space and belongings. Additionally, my experience with senior dogs means I am particularly attentive to the needs of older pets, providing them with the extra care and comfort they require. You can have peace of mind knowing that your pets are in caring, capable hands while you're away.

About: I have been pet sitting for 4 years now. I have a lot of experience with cats and dogs. I also have volunteered at Carolina Waterfowl Rescue for a year and a half, that includes feeding, watering, cleaning enclosures and helping sick or injured ducks, geese and chickens. I am currently only working as a petsitter so I have a lot of free time and will be able to put all of that time into caring for your pets, which includes staying overnight and all day if need be. I do not want to accept any pets coming to my home as it is not suitable for dogs so I do stay over at my client’s homes or offer check-ins on their pets if preferred. I will spend my time hanging out your pets, playing with any cats or dogs that show interest in playtime, taking any dog/s on a walk, and most importantly stay aware of your pet’s body language to ensure that they are comfortable with my presence, I will be sure to give any pet it’s space and respect their boundaries.

“Tarynne was amazing! I needed a last minute pet sitter for our fur babies and she came through! Not only that, but her communication was quick and she always let us know how they were doing. I definitely felt comfortable leaving our babies in her hands! We will definitely use her again! Thank you, Tarynne!”


“I think we are just going to have to adopt Kaitlin! She did an awesome job taking care of our kitties and went above and beyond this week when we suddenly had an outbreak of little ants. She did way more than asked and the kitties love her. We will definitely hire her again.”


About: Avid dog walker, bather, cuddler, fetch-thrower, treat-giver. I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like! I have cared for puppies through senior dogs and I work to follow directions given by their owners. I primary work from home so I have the flexibility to pop over to take care of your fur baby! I have two dogs of my own, Otis (6) and Oscar (3), and a human baby! I grew up with all sorts of animals, so I have a lot of experience with cats, dogs, and caged animals. I treat each dog like my own. I meet them where they’re at in terms of comfort and training. They are well-monitored, exercised, and cared for.

He sent frequent updates and checked in often to ensure proper care was being done. I can trust him for long and short stays, and am comfortable recommending him as a skilled and and professional pet sitter with lots of experience. He went above and beyond to make sure my cat was well cared for and that I was kept in the loop regardless of how long the stay was.”


Jonathan R.
“Jon is an exceptional dog sitter! Their kindness shines through in how they tailor each walk to my dog’s energy level, ensuring my high-energy pup gets enough exercise or my senior dog enjoys a gentle stroll. He’s reliable and intentional about maintaining routines, like feeding my dog at the same time each day and even practicing commands to keep training consistent. He always send me photo updates, capturing joyful moments of playtime in the park or cozy cuddles at home, which shows how much they care. He once noticed my dog seemed a bit off and promptly checked in with me, catching a minor issue early. I trust them completely with my furry family member!”


Ella T.
“Ella is a phenomenal pet sitter! She cares for my animals as if they were her own. My senior dog is reactive around other dogs and she was patient and amazing with ensuring his and others safety when I was out of town. She also watches after my two crazy cats. I think they like her more than my family. She is communicative and quick to respond. I can’t recommend her enough. Your pets will be loved and have lots of play time in her care”
