About: Growing up, I have always been surrounded by dogs whether that be my family’s or neighbors. I love dogs and I love making new doggie friends !! I will make sure that this is your pets home away from home and that your pet and yourself feel comfortable trusting me. I am a stay at home wife and have plenty of time that allows me to be able to provide individual care and attention to any dogs in our care.

“Breckyn has helped watch our senior dog twice now and has been excellent! She has become our go-to whenever we travel and our dog needs walks/drop ins. Highly recommend Breckyn if you’re looking for dog sitting or walking.”
“Meghan did a great job with my very-reluctant-to-leave-the-house-with-a-new-person dog. He takes a while to warm up when and trust that he’s not being kidnapped when I’m not around. She was very patient with him and got him out to pee and sat with him outside until it was time to go. I’ll definitely be having her over again and hopefully with time again my dog might venture to the back yard with her :)”
“Lauren was great! Will definitely use her services again”
About: I have 2 cats, Spork and Kiwi, and 1 dog, Hamlet, that are all rescues. Since I’ve lived in Charlotte, I’ve cat sit for multiple different people in my apartment complex. My visits include lots of play time for the playful kitties, and cuddles for the ones who aren’t! I’ve administered pills, eye drops, and ointments. I currently work full-time and commute 45 minutes, so I’m looking for clients that need drop-in visits after 6pm. I’m available all weekdays and most weekends! All cats are different, so I make sure to adapt to your cat’s needs. Some cats need lots of playtime, while others prefer cuddles, while some prefer no interaction at all. I can clean litter boxes, food bowls, administer medicine, and ensure your kitty feels safe and taken care of.
“My dog takes a little while to warm up usually but with Kelly he was instantly in love with her! She took such good care of him. I will definitely be using her again!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five-Star Service with Extra Belly Rubs! Shneila is hands down the best pet sitter ever! My pup was spoiled with love, playtime, and so many belly rubs, I think he forgot I existed. From the daily updates to the adorable photos, I never had to worry for a second—I knew my fur-baby was living their best life. She’s reliable, caring, and somehow has the magical ability to keep even the most energetic pets entertained (seriously, how does she do it?). If you want your pet to have a VIP experience, book her now before she’s all booked up!”
