Highlights
Pet care experience
We love getting to know your pets!
I have been pet setting for friends and family for the past fifteen years. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each and every fur baby I come in contact with. I do not have pets of our own, so we really take this time to provide all the love and attention to your pet while we have them Spending time with me . I have grown up with dogs and cats, my entire life, and once we moved to Charlotte, have helped our neighbors tremendously while they vacation our daily walks around our community. Days are that much more fun when we have someone to bring along with us , especially since we have a dog park walking distance from our home. I can’t wait to meet your loving pet, and give it the same love and attention it deserves.

Ratings and reviews
Lois was fantastic. She not only treated my cat well, she help ME calm down . Very sweet and gentle woman who I would totally trust any animal with.
Lois was a comfortable and compassionate stay for our cat. Great communication and photos. Thank you!
Amazing with my timid baby marshmallow. Always updating with photos and videos. Great communication and quiet home. Will use in the future.
Awesome job with my Ace!! Thank you!
Lois took great care of our energetic (+ sometimes mischievous) pup! We were so pleased to hear that he settled right down after we dropped him off, and enjoyed a relaxed afternoon with her and her daughter. 😊
We usually travel with our girl (4 YO terrier mix) everywhere we go, so was nervous to leave with someone else; our concerns melted away as we saw how comfortable our girl was with Lois on their first meet; they were immediate friends upon first introduction. Lois provided plenty of pictures when away, was very understanding of our girl's nervousness, and fulfilled each daily routine items included on list. Besides Lois's reliability, taking wonderful care of our girl, and sharing daily pictures of our girl, a plus is that Lois provides a home with a lot of space that is located on a quiet cul de sac with a large backyard, and that our girl was the only pet in the home (this was a perquisite for us). A plus, I was working on "Stay" command with our girl; Lois continued it at her place and with her reinforcement our girl has mastered the command after only four (4) days there....I guess a new person/environment is good at times. With all said, Lois provided a wonderful experience for our little girl. I appreciate the loving care provided to our girl in a very safe environment; I have since booked another stay.

Schedule
I work from home, so have unlimited time to give your pet attention and take for as many walks as needed. Typically I take two walks a day, but frequently take more when pet sitting there is an enclosed porch area that are smaller dogs that we watch like to hang out on to get sun and fresh air since our yard is not fully enclosed. On weekends that we are pet sitting, we make it a point to stay local and to include your pet in any of the activities that we do around the house.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a large yard and an enclosed porch area that we can spend time with your dog on. Within walking distance from our house, there’s a small dog park as well. I spend a lot of time outside, walking multiple times a day and would be happy to have your pet accompany. My daughter Isabella is very mature and is excellent with helping. Keep your pet entertained if that is what they prefer. For the dogs that I have sat, and are not as active, I make sure that they have the space that they need and attentive enough to understand when there needs change.
A typical day
I love to go to different parks around the area including the one in our community. I also go by what the family expresses that the dog likes. If the dog enjoys dog parks , I will check out some in the area, if they prefer independent walks, long or short, I make sure to incorporate this into our time together.
