“I’m so glad that Oli was available to come check on Gus while I was gone during the day. She is familiar with his routine and always sends me the cutest pictures!”



“I can’t say enough great things about Melanie! She took such amazing care of my Frenchie while I was away. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves dogs and knew exactly how to handle my pup’s quirky personality and needs. I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which totally put my mind at ease. My Frenchie came back happy, relaxed, and maybe even a little spoiled—in the best way! I’m so grateful for the love and attention they gave. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again!”



“Emily was great housing sitting our dog, Ginger. She sent us regular updates on Ginger along with photos. We could really enjoy our vacation knowing that Ginger was being loved and cared for at our home. Additionally, Emily was a thoughtful and considerate house guest. We would absolutely have her house sit Ginger again in the future.”


“Danielle was amazing. She sent a ton of photos and kept me updated throughout the stay. My dogs loved snuggling with her and were so happy and well cared for. Will definitely use her again!”


“Kyle has been great! Easy to communicate with, extremely helpful, flexible with my ever changing travel schedule, and of course wonderful with my elderly dogs. I’ve booked with him multiple times and will continue to do so in the future.”


“Alex was great with the dogs and was responsive to our messages. Was very impressed that he came over for a meet and greet and was taking notes and asking questions. Left the home so clean we couldn't even tell someone had been there. Highly recommend”


“Averi did a fantastic job house sitting our wide variety of pets while we were out of town! She communicated with us throughout or travels, sent photos, and ensured everyone was taken care of.

About: YOᑌ ᕼᗩᗪ ᗰE ᗩT ᗷᗩᖇK 𐂯 I've always had a passion for working with animals, and that love has only grown over the years as I've helped family and friends with their furry friends. I was lucky enough to spend three and a half wonderful years at 4 Dogs Pet Supplies, a charming local shop in Charlotte, NC. It was such a joy to meet so many wonderful dog breeds and discover the best products and care practices for our beloved pets. I also got to team up with another small business, where I had the pleasure of caring for both dogs and cats and plants—everything from playful puppies to treasured older pets. Each day was filled with rewarding experiences in animal care! On top of that, I've volunteered at animal shelters and even participated in an amazing equine therapeutic riding program. These experiences have really deepened my commitment to animal well-being and the importance of supporting our community. It's been a truly fulfilling journey! And am very thankful for those who have trusted me with the animals. ✮ I am currently out of school for the summer and have a part-time job, which gives me plenty of availability to help care for your animals. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I am available anytime after 1 PM for walks, drop-ins, or anything else you need. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, I can assist at any time. Let me know how I can help! 𐂯 I always strive to treat animals, plants, and homes with the same love and care I give to my own! My goal is to provide the best care possible for my clients, so I ask plenty of questions to understand their preferences. This helps me create a safe and secure environment while building trust with both the owner and their furry friends.


“JP was amazing. She took great care of our little dog. She communicated with us throughout our time away sending pictures of our dog. Abbey, our little chihuahua, actually seemed to miss her when we were back home. That says a lot! We would not hesitate to recommend Jp, and will book her again in the future.”


“Giselle came at a moments notice when a family emergency arose. She was flexible to the needs and always makes the animals safe and supported”



“Noel was kind, quick to respond, polite, respectful, and the perfect fit to watch our pup Yeti. She took great care of him and our home while we were gone! Definitely gave us peace of mind.”


“Robbi is great! She’s very responsive and was flexible in a last minute adjustment to the date/time I need her to watch my pup. She would occasionally check in and send photos of my puppy letting me know everything is going well. Definitely will be using her in the future!”


“Elizabeth is so kind and very accommodating for my pup! She did a fantastic job caring for her and followed all my instructions. Highly recommend!”


“Samantha is great! She took great care of four dogs. The dogs liked her immediately. She followed all of my instructions perfectly and responded quickly when I checked in. I will definitely use her again.”


“Audrey was fantastic and took great care of our dog! Sent lots of pictures with my doggo looking super happy and was a great guest in our home. Will be booking again! Thanks so much!”


“Kylie was great! Super communicative and quick to respond. We were nervous to use a service as our pup had only spent time with family previously, but Kylie did a stellar job easing our minds and offering care to both our home and pup while we were away. 10/10 would use again!”


About: Hello! My name is Julia. Outside of being a pet lover, I am a full-time RN! As for pet care, I have had pets my whole life from many kittens to my beloved Great Dane. I have volunteered for the SPCA and Petco in the past. At the ripe age of 10, I made pet sitting business cards and set out amongst my neighborhood where I created my own business:) I have a true love for cats and dogs and would love to help you out whenever needed! As a nurse, my schedule is always changing. I have 4 days off per week where I am available all day. As for the other 3 days that I work, I can care for your pets in the evening, after 8pm. I have adjusted my calendar to be “unavailable” the days that I work, but I can do late evening visits those days if needed. Just message me and I will let you know more about my schedule! I have two kitties at home that won’t allow me to have your pets board with me, but I am more than willing to travel to you! I currently work 3 12-hour shifts per week. I can do pet visits after work if needed. Outside of this, I am usually available all day for 4 days a week. I love to play with, cuddle, and care for all pets in the home! I am willing to walk dogs, play with kittens, or spend quality time with older pets. I am able to clean up after pets as well if needed. I can also administer medications if needed.
