Pet Sitting in Matthews

About: My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every animal deserves patience, love, or just some comforting company. I am more than happy to take care of your furry friend(s) all day on weekends or walk them M-F after 5pm. Please message me for more detailed availability if needed. I have been trained with the SPCA in California to handle large and small dogs. Caring for pets brings me joy, and I treat each one as if they were my own—because they deserve nothing less.

About: I've taken care of animals ever since I was around 13 years old. I've watched my relatives animals for more than a week on multiple occasions growing up. I'm attentive in feeding schedules, medications (if applicable), bathing, and litter cleaning. I also am very strong in giving loves and cuddles to your fur babies! Im currently in school part-time for a radiology career so that gives me so much time with your animals ! I'm available pretty much all the time, just contact me and we can figure something out. When caring for your pets in your home I try to make it the smoothest transition I can. I want to be able to keep their routine the same as much as possible. I follow feeding schedules, regularly provide fresh water and potty breaks. I will take dogs on walks if needed and make sure your pets receive the right amount of attention and play!

About: I have had dogs since 2013. I had three, I currently have two. One of them had epilepsy, this gave me experience with seizures and administering medicine. I also worked at a doggy day care for 1 year, there I cared for large groups of dogs. We fed them, changed out water 4-5 times a day, picked up after them and played with them. I'm knowledgeable about dog behavior and how to avoid situations that would be harmful. I know to test the pavement heat before a walk on hot days. I'm currently seeking steady employment but am wanting to make this my steady job. I'm available during the week from six am to 5 pm I'm currently unable to pet sit in my home. I'm more than happy to pet sit in the dogs/cats home that makes the pets more comfortable as well since it's not a strange house with strange smells. I'm more than happy to drop in or stay for awhile. I enjoy taking walks and it's always good to have a friend (your pet) with me.

“Heather is incredible thinking of us while we were away. Thanks for the amazing animal and house treatment. Will definitely book again next time”

About: I’ve been dog sitting before, during college, and have taken care of dogs my whole life. I’m like Mary Poppins but for dogs ☺️ Going on 5+ years on Rover! My start began with my childhood pet, college friend’s pups, or my neighbor’s dogs. I have experience dog walking, giving medication via pills, and work on skills and behavioral issues with dogs and puppies. Or, just watching a movie and having cuddle time!! I love it all! I’m a recent college grad. I work from home, but Rover is top priority- I have maximum availability and flexibility to fit your needs. I can work long term with you or short. I’m flexible! **Please be mindful to regard safety procedures and allow more than 24 hrs before requesting services so I can meet your pet and see if we are a good fit.** I can NOT sit for you if we do not meet first. Please don’t ask the day before, for the safety of your pet and myself. I will not respond if you don’t mindfully read the safety guidelines for Rover. The holidays book fast so message me ASAP! ☺️ Safety is always my priority. Your dog’s comfort is so important. My goal is to leave your place looking “better than I found it”. I am tidy! I live in a spacious house with an unfenced backyard area. I do not have a crate. My dog Henny loves to play with others and keeps to himself when he’s tuckered out. He’s great making friends and being a patient teacher to young/timid dogs. He can come with me to play with your pup, but he is happy to stay home too.

About: I love all animals from dogs, to chickens, to elephants! My fur baby went to the rainbow bridge last year. He lived a long happy life. I’ve grieved & now it’s time to heal. That’s why I’m starting this journey on here with you and your animals. I have so much love & affection to give to animals. I miss that “fur friend” connection & would love to become besties with your babies! The only pet my household has is a bearded dragon. Also if you’re traveling, I am located close to the airport. I will follow whatever instructions you may have and I do not mind keeping communication open with text and pictures. I have open availability. I’m willing to work with you and your needs. I can do holiday stays, emergency stays, etc. whatever you need . I live in a spacious 3 bedroom home & I have a huge fenced in back yard. I can create your fur babies if needed, but I’m always home. A typical Doggy Day includes waking up, going outside in the morning , feeding your fur baby whatever regimen they are on. Throughout the day we go from inside and outside, Playing and cooling off 😊 Whether your fur baby is active & loves to play fetch outside or is a cuddle buddy watching Tv on the couch, I’ll tend to whatever activities they like.

About: I love all animals, furry, feathery, and scale-y, young, old; cuddly or playful. I have experience with birds from volunteering at a parrot sanctuary; turtles and fish from previously raising them; and dogs. I have 2 rescues and a puppy, ranging from 3 to 80lbs. I am attentive to instruction and hold myself to a high standard of care and would love to meet your furry babies. I currently available everyday of the week, at all times and would be happy to take care of your fur babies and make sure they are engaged while you are away. I will care for your pet with the passion I take care of mine, but in accordance to their own routine. I'll make sure they only thing they are missing is you, and never waiting long for medicine, food, or potty breaks.

“Stephanie does a fantastic job! I wasn't worried at all. She took care of our 4 cats while we were away on our cruise. She takes pictures of your babies, and plays with them. She'll care for them as well as you do (maybe even better) I highly recommend her.”

About: Hi! I'm Michelle. I have over 34 years of experience in the field of veterinarian medicine, training and behavior modification. We offer overnight boarding as well as daycare for cats, dogs, and other pets. To prevent the spread of illness, we require that all pups be up to date on Rabies, Bordetella (kennel cough) and DHPP (parvo). In addition, cats should be current on Rabies and FeLv. Please send vaccine records to records@rufflanding (.com) We also ask that you provide your pets regular food, as sudden diet changes can upset their tummy. We have everything else they could possibly need! Our client service hours are: M-F 8-10AM & 3-6PM Sat & Sun 8-10AM We offer: Socialization, walks, friendly playmates, trips to the dog park if permitted, medication administration, constant potty breaks, photos and baths (upon request), and tons of affection! It's the next best thing to being home! Petcare is my full time business. I work from home sitting and boarding as well as hosting foster pets occasionally. Aside from dropping in on established pets or taking them on walks, I am home full time. We have a securely fenced yard and pets are constantly supervised when outside. We take potty breaks every 2 hours. We schedule socialization, enrichment and playtime activities to keep them busy and entertained.

“Excellent sitter! She took great care of our babies. We would definitely recommend her! Thank you for everything.”

“Nicole was wonderful!! She was able to book us last minute for Christmas weekend. She provided lots of pictures and updates, and is very caring and loving to both the dogs and my home. Will definitely be calling her again!”

About: Through my life my family has had many dogs, and each one has been my best buddy. I have a few years of experience over-night dogs sitting and a lifetime of experience caring for animals. I love and treat every animal like they are my own! I am currently a student-athlete at Converse University in the off-season of my sport, so I have a good chunk of free time to care for your pups! I am able and willing to take any measures you are comfortable with in order to keep your pets safe. I am able to crate train, learn and teach any commands, walk well on a leash, or whatever else you may need.

About: I have a genuine love for animals and experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and creating a calm, safe environment. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to detail so your pets feel secure and you feel confident while you’re away. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, so I naturally build it into my everyday routine. I make time each day for walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, and I’m available throughout the week and on weekends to keep pets happy, comfortable, and on their normal schedule. I treat every client’s home with the same respect and care as my own, creating a calm, secure environment for your pets. I follow all instructions closely—from feeding routines to home preferences—and make sure doors, gates, and safety measures are always properly secured. I’m attentive, dependable, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pets and home are in good hands.

About: With over five years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I’m attentive to each dog’s unique needs — from energetic play sessions and long walks to quiet cuddle time. I’m experienced with basic training reinforcement, feeding schedules, bathing, and giving medication when needed. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment so your dog feels happy and secure while you’re away, giving you complete peace of mind. Available for house sitting any day of the week. On Mon–Wed, I won’t be at the home 24/7, but I’ll still provide regular check-ins, potty breaks every 2–4 hours, and overnight stays as needed. Whether I’m caring for your pets in your home or mine, I treat them like family — the same way I care for my own two fur babies, Romi (my sweet Schnauzer) and Mocha (my playful Yorkie). Every day, I make sure they get plenty of fresh water, nutritious meals on schedule, regular potty breaks, and walks that match their energy levels. We play, cuddle, and keep a routine that makes them feel secure and loved. I bring that same approach to every pet I look after — paying attention to their unique personality, comfort level, and needs. I’m mindful of safety on walks, keeping pets away from hazards and monitoring them closely around other animals. During pet sitting visits, I make sure your pet gets not just the basics, but also companionship, mental stimulation, and affection. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a midday walk, or staying overnight, I’ll follow your instructions to the letter while giving your pet all the love and care they deserve.

“Thank you so much for taking excellent care of my babies!!”

About: I have experience with high energy dogs such as German Sheppard and Goldendoodle. I have a senior dog and I have experience with administering medicine daily. I currently work 8-5 but half day on Fridays. I can stop by before or after work to check on animals. I can also do weekends I use a wireless fence at home so I am currently not offering in home care. But I am experienced in making sure those machines work

“Carissa did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away from home. She communicated well and my cat was very comfortable and playful with her which means a lot because she is usually pretty shy.”

About: I not only have a passion in fitness, but the well being of all furry pets, especially dogs! I treat every dog as my own, because they all have a heart just like we do and need to make sure we understand their needs as a companion. I am willing to go beyond and make sure your pet remains active, and know the importance since I have a pretty healthy 11 years old pup myself! Allow me to show you that you can become comfortable and know that your dog will be in great hands, while they are gaining a friend=) This is not a job to me, but a privilege! If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know! Hope to work with you and your wonderful dog soon! I'm an Exercise Science/Psychology graduate and trainer. My line of work is organized how I schedule it to make sure I am meeting standards and delivering the proper care. IF we agree to bring your fur babies in my home I could provide great accommodations. I have a sweet dog and cat so what ever I could do to meet needs.

“She did more then i expected of her. She’s so kind and even offered to brush my dogs hair out for me.”
