“Kyla was so great for drop-in visits this past week! She's very sweet and my normally shy cats warmed up to her pretty quickly. She had great communication with the daily updates and pictures :) no notes, and will definitely see if she's available to book again next time I'm out of town. Thanks again, Kyla!”
“Jeff provided multiple days of feeding, cuddle time, walks and loving attention for our dog. The photos he sent helped us feel at ease knowing our boy was safe and happy. We appreciated his responsibility and updates!”
“Cat was a dream to work with. Super communicative, and spent a lot of time with our dog at each check in! After our usual sitter moved away I was nervous about finding someone new but I was immediately relieved by Cat’s dedication and her obvious love for dogs. Her notes after each check-In made me chuckle too. I think we found our new regular sitter!”
“Kristen is a gem of a person and so attentive to our dog, Skye. She sends lots of updates and pictures and is also very funny. She is great to work with and I totally trust her with our furbaby.”
“Thank you Maria and Luis for watching Neyland and Nala while I was out of town! I booked them a few days prior because my dog contracted kennel cough from daycare. Maria did a meet and greet with me, took Neyland outside 3 times a day, and gave him his food with medications. Neyland is reactive with people and dogs but they handled him wonderfully! Thank you guys :)”
“Allyson is the best! I never worry about our dog when she is here!”
“Cassie was wonderful! She took great care of our dog and was on time and very easy to work with. highly recommend using her to care for your pets.”
“I’m never using anyone else! Tyler has a genuine love and passion for animals that shows in her visits and when she hosts. You won’t just get pictures of your dog playing in backyard - she actually spends time with your pup”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds and of varying ages. I’ve also helped train my own puppy, as well as friends’ dogs, the basics like potty training, sit, etc. I’m quite comfortable with puppies under 1 year old all the way to our senior friends. I’m currently a full-time dog mom and pet caretaker. I just graduated from grad school and don’t start my new job until this fall, and I thought - what a better way to spend my summer off taking care of my favorite animal and helping other pet owners? I’m an open communicator and can be available how you need me with the proper heads-up! I live in an apartment building with my fiancé and our sweet, cuddly boy dog (neutered). There’s 3 parks within walking distance and a dog park just an 8min drive away. Since I live in an apartment, I would recommend only small to medium dogs stay with us, but I’m always willing to travel to clients’ houses for dogs of all sizes. I treat my clients dogs as if they were my own fur baby. The love, kindness, & attention I give my sweet boy is the same love, kindness, & attention your dog will receive. My friend is also a vet tech I can always reach out to for advice/questions and I myself am a certified (human) healthcare professional.
“Kay stepped up when my usual cat sitter cancelled before the Christmas break and really put all of my worries at ease. She is a phenomenally attuned cat sitter and so communicative for any needs she had. Thank you, Kay! Couldn’t have enjoyed my vacation away without you!”
“These folks are incredible!! So kind, great with my dog, and very flexible. I’ll be booking again!”
“Alexander was awesome! My silly, hyper pup warmed up to him well and he made sure my big oy was taken care of without any deviations from our routine. I will be planning on booking Alexander soon!”
“Anna is a great communicator and genuinely seems to care about my animals. I feel really secure with her watching them (2 cats, some fish). She was super easy to work with!”
“Jordan is an absolute gem. We hire her every time we are out of town and our cats (one of whom has get a get an insulin shot very 12 hours) are so well cared for. 10/10, definitely book her!”
“Joy is such a wonderful pet sitter! I was so relieved when joy accepted to pet drop in on my hound and cats. Very attentive and responsive. Loves spending time with animals and is a comfort to have looking after your pets! Perfectly on time and doesn't over stay. I trust her 100% with my fur babies. Absolutely will be booking again!”
About: I've lived with dogs my entire life, and therefore have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and every age in-between. My friends - and especially my partner - call me "the animal whisperer" because of my non-anxious presence that animals seem to notice and be drawn to. In fact, my former housemates tell me that I taught their grumpy, elderly dachshund how to love people! I enjoy playing with dogs, but am also perfectly content to lounge and cuddle with our lazier canine companions. I live in an intentional community with several other housemates, and am therefore unable to bring pets home with me. However, I am flexible when it comes to checking on your pet(s) and spending quality time with them. Considering I will be caring for your pet in your home, I welcome any preferences and suggestions you may have! I'm comfortable being with dogs on furniture, but can also crate them if that's what they're used to. Additionally, I can adapt to feeding and walking schedules.
About: I have always had pets growing up from dogs of different sizes to bunnies and bird. Recently I have been taking care of my dog Dutch. He suffered from seizures all his life, so I have experience in bigger dogs and one with health issues. I have full availability. It may change due possibly picking up a part time job as I am preparing for a year long college course. Putting my dog through behavioral courses has helped me with heel training. So walking dogs of any size won't be an issue for me. Especially with it being so hot recently making sure the asphalt isn't too hot and not keeping dogs out for too long.
“Tatum is a gem! She is kind, attentive and very punctual for her visits. Bonus is that our elderly dog loves her! Highly recommend Tatum. Thank you Tatum!”
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.
“Being away from my furbabies is always stressful. Nicole was able to ease my stress with her excellent care of my 3 furbabies. One super senior on lots of meds and the other two prior feral makes them not the easiest to care for. Nicole did great with walking, feeding and any special needs that occurred. I will use Nicole again should I need to travel without my furbabies.”

Very happy with the care, great communication! Thank you, Kyla, for taking such great care of my pups! 💗
Kelly was great as always! We love her detailed updates they’re always a highlight of our vacations.
My cat is so comfortable around Ana and does such a good job of updating me. I would definitely recommend her to watch your pets!
Joy is such a wonderful pet sitter! I was so relieved when joy accepted to pet drop in on my hound and cats. Very attentive and responsive. Loves spending time with animals and is a comfort to have looking after your pets! Perfectly on time and doesn't over stay. I trust her 100% with my fur babies. Absolutely will be booking again!
Kaleb saved the day by sitting our kitty pretty last-minute! He was really communicative and put our minds (and hers) at ease even though she was a bit anxious and in a new home. We definitely appreciated the time and care he took with her along with all the photos and updates.
Ashley was amazing!! She sent lots of cute pics of the kitties and sent a nice note of everything she did while she was there!! Will definitely book with her next time!
So helpful with my baby kitties. I love that she takes lots of pictures. It shows me what a good job she’s doing. Went above and beyond to help me secure my place while I’m out of town. So grateful!
Nijah was wonderful and incredibly helpful! Wiling and able to watch our dogs in a pinch, she was very communicative and kind. Definitely a life saver, would recommend!
Alexis has been taking care of our dogs for some time now. Every time we are back from a trip our dogs look happy and well cared for. She always gives us an update and makes sure our pups needs are taken care of. Thanks Alexis for taking care of our pups, we appreciate you!
Kay took excellent care of my 2 cats and my outdoor tomato plants while I was away for a long weekend. Cats were chill and happy upon my return. Kay communicated with me frequently and quickly. I didn't feel like I had to worry about anything while I was away.
Jessica was a great sitter for my bunny! She went above and beyond and made me feel like Coco was in extremely safe hands while I was on my trip :)
Cindy was wonderful with my cat! She even went above and beyond and stopped in an extra day to fill her water. I would 100% recommend Cindy!
Being away from my furbabies is always stressful. Nicole was able to ease my stress with her excellent care of my 3 furbabies. One super senior on lots of meds and the other two prior feral makes them not the easiest to care for. Nicole did great with walking, feeding and any special needs that occurred. I will use Nicole again should I need to travel without my furbabies.
Robin was very kind and friendly took care of my pet with so much care and treated her as her own , will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone . Thank you 🙏
We reached out to Jessica, because she seemed like a fit for our elderly dog with high medical needs. She was warm, accommodating, and she would have been the perfect fit had our dog not passed away before she could begin providing him care. She had not previously injected a dog, but she was a trooper - coming over for a visit, and gave Ricky insulin with ease. I also felt safe giving her a key to my home. I have already told my best friend (who has three dogs) about her, and while we are heartbroken by the circumstances, we remain hopeful we will encounter her through our dog loving friends who consistently need the kind of support I am confident she provides. Thank you again, Jessica.
Very kind, flexible and easy to set up with! Obvious that the cats were well taken care of during her visits with them!
Mikella has always done a great job caring for my cat! Very responsive and thoughtful of needs. I highly recommend!
Alyssa was awesome checking in on my cat while I was away. She was always responsive and provided great photos and updates on how Meowy was doing. I highly recommend!
Maggie was fantastic with my critters, very responsive and I’m looking forward to using her again in the future.
Fergus (our cat) loves Virginia. He never purrs for anyone the way he purrs for her. When we got home today after being away for several days, my husband heard Fergus meowing through the door before we entered and said to me, "I pretty sure he's meowing 'Virginia! Virginia!' He's going to be so disappointed that it's us!" Virginia is great with Fergus, very kind to us, and has been just a perfect pet sitter.
