“My 2 large dogs stayed with Gonzalo and his family for 4 nights and had a blast! They were very loving towards my dogs, even with all of their quirks and energy! I enjoyed seeing the photo and video updates of them having a great time! Gonzalo's daughter even taught one of my dogs how to "turn"! It was so comforting knowing that my dogs were with people who enjoyed playing with them so much! It was also clear they cared about my dogs wellbeing. My dogs are currently on a lot of supplements and Gonzalo was extremely accommodating! He asked questions to make sure he was following their normal routine and protocols. It was clear my dogs enjoyed their stay there and they are excited to come back again!”


“Liliana and her family were great with my Max! Liliana is very caring and loves animals of all kinds! We have boomed her for a second time and we are sure Max will be in good hands!”


“Alicia was great with Hudson! She updated me daily and be always seemed happy and playing around! He was exhausted when we got home. I will definitely use her again and would recommend her! Thanks so much!”


About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. I grew up with a variety of dogs and cats, and even considered veterinary school before choosing a career in nursing. Now, I work full-time from home as a triage nurse, which allows me to care for animals throughout the day while being present with my family. Our home is filled with love and furry friends—including our adored German Shepherd, a cuddly orange tabby cat, and two playful guinea pigs. My 6-year-old daughter arguably loves animals even more than I do! She’s been raised to treat all creatures with kindness and enjoys helping care for them every chance she gets. We enjoy going on adventures, daily walks, and weekend outings, but we also love cozy days at home. My husband is off on weekends, and we love including dogs in our family activities. I treat every pet like my own and will spoil them with love, attention, and care. We’re so excited to welcome new dogs into our home and can’t wait to make them part of our extended furry family! I work full-time from home as a triage nurse, working three 12-hour shifts each week, so I am available most days/times of the week! My schedule gives me the flexibility to take breaks throughout the day to let the fur kids outside for fresh air and playtime. My home office is the favorite hangout spot—our pets love to keep me company while I work! My husband is off on weekends, and we love incorporating the dogs into our weekend activities, whether it's going for walks, exploring local parks, or just relaxing at home. On my days off, I’m usually around the house, with the occasional errand or trip to one of my daughter’s activities. I’m also an avid runner and make time for daily walks—sometimes more than one! We’re excited to welcome your pups into our home and can’t wait to include them in our family’s routine and adventures. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. We have a fully enclosed 6-foot privacy-fenced yard—perfect for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Our home is within walking distance to downtown Matthews, so your pup can enjoy daily walks and fun neighborhood adventures. Inside, your pet will feel right at home. Our furniture and beds are open to all furry guests—because in our house, your dog is family. Whether they’re lounging in my home office or snuggled up on the couch, they’ll be treated with love and care. I pride myself on excellent communication and will keep you updated with multiple daily messages and photos. Whether your dog is relaxing in my home office or joining us for weekend outings, you’ll always feel confident and connected knowing your pet is being treated like family every step of the way.

“We left our Labrador, Django, with Giojana for 2 nights, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, communication was great—they kept us updated with pictures and messages, which really put our minds at ease. Django looked happy, well-cared for, and got plenty of playtime and love. It’s clear that she truly cares for the dogs they watch. We came home to a relaxed and happy pup. We’ll definitely be booking again in the future! Highly recommend! 🐾”


“Excellent exprience! Christie was able to watch our puppy last minute which was highly appreciated. Our pup had so much fun! She took good care of her and provided pictures everyday! I highly recommend Christie, you can definitely trust her with your fur babies!”


“Alice and Don are great! They were able to take our black lab Midnight last minute and during 4th of July weekend! They were so good with him and we highly recommend them!!”


“Thank you Jeannette for taking such good care of our little old man! We appreciate your care and how much you love on him. He always seems so content and happy when we get back, also tired from visiting with the other dogs! Thank you again and we will see you soon!”


“Monica and her family were amazing! I was previously using a boarding facility and Will not go back. She had lots of love to give my pup, sent pictures, took her on nice walks. So happy!”


“Lauren was wonderful with my dog! I could tell he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands.”



“Jannel & Brett took wonderful care of my puppy. They were so kind, communicative, and went above and beyond what was required. They loved on him, played with him, and had him (and his stuff) nice and clean when I picked him up. I felt very comfortable leaving Bentley with them and will definitely use them again in the future! Highly recommend!”


“Joanna is a very compassionate, kind and thoughtful dog sitter/care giver. She sent me pictures of my fur babies and communicated about their stay. One of my dogs was very anxious, and Joanna gave her extra attention to make her feel better. She even took our dogs on walks! She is amazing, and I definitely highly recommend her!”


About: I've been taking care of cats and dogs since I was a child. My friends and family typically rely on me to care for their pets while they're gone. I've had as many as 7 cats and 2 dogs to watch over at a time, whether it's dropping in to check on them, walk the dogs, or have them stay with me. The longest I've spent was 6-7 months with my friends chocolate lab named Kylee, while she was unable to care for her. I have my own cat named Carl and he's my best friend, who also enjoys making new friends. I work full time. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, while going to the office Tuesday through Thursday. I can typically do drop ins or walks before my work day starts at 8 am, or after it ends at 5, or any time on the weekends. Days that I work from home, do not have a time constraint. Additionally, I have a reliable vehicle and can drive to any location needed. I have a large house with a fenced in yard, with plenty of spaces. The downstairs can be completely closed off from the upstairs if separation was ever needed. I have an 8 year old cat named Carl who owns the house, so we would need to make sure any guests are alright with him as he's becoming a seasoned kitty.

“Rachel was amazing! She shared so many pictures and updates, I could tell my Shelby was comfortable and relaxed. I loved seeing pictures of her enjoying the gorgeous backyard and hanging out getting lots of love and attention. Highly recommend!!”


“Brittany M. has been so much more than a pet sitter—she’s been an exceptional human being. She cared for my dog Luna with such love, dedication, and tenderness that it far exceeded my expectations. She and her children treated my baby as part of their family, showering her with affection and attention. Brittany also stayed in constant communication with me every single day, sending photos and showing me the environment Luna was in, which gave me so much peace and confidence. It’s a true blessing to find someone like her. I will absolutely trust her again and recommend her more than 100%. Thank you, Brittany, for everything!”



“Summer and her family took such great care of our dog Nicholas when we had to go out of town, I would highly recommend her to anyone. We just moved to Charlotte and were very nervous trusting Nicholas to a stranger, but Summer’s glowing reviews and long history pet sitting reassured us, as did her calm kind manner with Nicholas when we met. Also her sweet little Lola was clearly well cared for which spoke volumes. We greatly appreciated the pictures and updates she sent us over the weekend, and were so relieved to see Nicholas was comfortable and happy. We will definitely ask Summer first whenever we need care for Nicholas in the future, and would unreservedly recommend her to friends looking for a caring place for their pups!”


“Cami took awesome care of Mr. Smokey. He had an awesome time. She kept in contact sending pictures and videos. He looked happy. Thank you Cami for taking care of our little guy while we are away. Will definitely book again 😊”


“Gabriela was amazing! She made sure to send daily pictures. She was quick with any questions! Upon arrival, my schnauzer was happy! I know he enjoyed his stay—walks & cuddles! I will definitely be using Gabriela again! Thank you!”

Brittanie & Nathan B.
“If you’re looking for someone to care for your dog like you would (or honestly, even better), stop your search because Brittanie is the best. She’s been walking and sitting for my two dogs, Oliver and Lana, and I truly can’t say enough good things about her. She is attentive, reliable, and SO loving. Oliver can be a little anxious and Lana is a whole diva in her own right, but somehow she just gets them. They come home happy, relaxed, and totally adored. I swear they love her more than me at this point (and honestly, I don’t blame them). She doesn’t just “watch” them, she connects with them, plays with them, takes them on fun adventures, and sends the cutest photo updates that melt my heart. I’ve never once worried when they’re with her. I know they’re in the best, most caring hands imaginable. If you want peace of mind and someone who genuinely treats your fur babies like family, book her. You (and your pups) will be obsessed.”
