About: Hi! I’m Bri! I’ve lived with animals my whole life! I pet sit for lots of friends! I’ve trained all my dogs on my own! I grew up in a house hold with lots of dogs and cats. I’ve learned over the years basic training for dogs. I’ve had dogs and cats from all ages! I pet sit for lots of my friends when they travel! I will love and care for them like they are my own! I currently work at a warehouse, full time. But I’m off by 2pm. The absolute latest. Once work is done I get to leave. Sometimes 12 sometimes 1 it depends on work load. I work Monday - Friday and off weekends. Let me know if your pet needs extra things if they’re sick or have lots of energy and need lots of play time and comfort. Let me know any special things about them that they love and don’t love so I’m aware.

About: I am a full time dog mom who has been blessed to have worked for a vets office doing daycare and boarding while I was in college, and found my way back to the animal world as a full time vet assistant for 6 years. I also started pet sitting for clients and friends a few years ago as favors and it has grown into years of house sitting either in my home or theirs. I love each pet as my own while understanding their different quirks and needs, while my training in the veterinary world allows me to medicate and take care of special needs babies if I need to. I am capable of taking care of all kinds of animals, as I also work at a barn part time with 12 horses. Although I am not a vet tech anymore I am in management in health care and I work full time but have available early mornings and evenings after 4:30. I also only work half days on Friday’s and have all weekends open. I workout at 5 am, 5 days a week so I start early! If your pet is with me, I consider it my own and definitely treat them all like family. I worked in the veterinary field in all positions for 8 years and safety is very important. Fun fact: both of my dog boys have modeled for Nutramax! I work full time but can walk at lunch time or after work, no work on weekends. If I’m staying overnight I’m already used to early mornings and taking care of pets before work. I will always take care of other pets as if they were my own, I love and am comfortable with all breeds and sizes! I enjoy being active or a lazy day on the couch, whichever your pet may need.

About: I have over 4 years of experience working in veterinary medicine, including emergency care, which has given me strong knowledge in recognizing medical concerns, handling high stress situations, and safely administering medications. I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs, including seniors and those requiring daily medications. In addition to my clinical experience, I’ve trained my own working line dog from 8 weeks old to adulthood, giving me hands on experience with puppy training, structure, and behavior management. I also currently have a young puppy, so I understand the patience and consistency needed for early training stages. This diverse background has made me confident handling animals of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. What sets me apart is my ability to combine professional veterinary knowledge with real world training experience, allowing me to provide safe, attentive, and reliable care for every pet. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I’m a full-time online student, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m able to be home throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins, and I can easily adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs. Whether a pet requires frequent potty breaks, structured routines, or just extra attention, I’m able to provide consistent and reliable care. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping pets on their normal schedule to reduce stress, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also make sure to keep their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a structured but relaxed environment with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and exercise. I’m attentive to behavior, safety, and comfort at all times, and I adjust care depending on age, energy level, and any special needs. With my background in veterinary medicine, I’m also able to monitor for any changes in behavior or health and respond appropriately if concerns arise.

In a client's home I would strive to keep the same schedule for the pets because I'm sure that they are already stressed out when their people leave. This being same food bathroom routine making sure they get playtime attention.

About: Hello! I'm currently a nursing student that has a love for all animals and if I wasn’t going to be a nurse I’d definitely be a Vet! I have 14 years of experience with caring for all sorts of dogs. I can do senior care and puppy care whatever you may need! I have flexible availability if I’m ever not available I prioritize clear communication over anything else. Just let me know what you need and I got you and your precious pet! I hope that your best friend can become mine as well! Currently I’m a full time nursing student, which makes working a regular 9-5 or hospital 12hr shifts quite difficult. I’m big on communication, I will always lay out my current hours as I’m in an accelerated course. I have a fenced in yard, and I live in a neighborhood that is super pet friendly where I can safely take your dog on walks.

Emily was such a great help! We needed someone to walk our dog while we were away for a wedding and our pup Lou was happy and healthy when we returned. This was our first time working with Emily, but she coordinated a meet and greet earlier in the week to meet us and get the details for taking care of Lou. We will definitely use Emily again in the future!

About: Something that sets me apart from other sitters is that I truly bond with animals and go out of my way to make sure they are comfortable. Not too long ago a hawk hit my car and I pulled over to pick it up and brought it to the NC Raptor Center; they were able to save it and released it a couple weeks later. I have two Mainecoon cats myself that I consider part of the family. I've taught the older one how to play fetch with bottle caps and socks and both cats also come when I call their name! I've walked dogs and house sit cats and dogs for neighbors, friends and family for years. I welcome all dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. For my personal animals, I work 8 hours but take care of my animals at all times besides that! Morning/nightly feeds, constant potty breaks. For clients, I'm available Friday-Sunday all day. The rest of the week 4PM or later but can do morning/nights if needed for extended stays. Because I have so many animals myself, I only do walking/sitting in clients homes/neighborhoods. I don't like to disrupt my animals environment. The same goes for clients animals. I treat them with the same love, respect and attention just like I do with my own. I really am good with watching behavior changes and figuring out a solution! The animals comfort is top priority!

About: I have had a dog in my life since I was 10 years old. I enjoy training, taking care of and snuggling all of them. I watch family and friends dogs when they are away as well. I will take care of your pup as if they are my own. I work from home Tuesdays and Fridays and am off on weekends. I spend a lot of time at home on the weekends with my own dogs and would love to have another join. I currently have a 1 year old doodle and a 6 year old lab mix. They are super sweet boys who love to play. I have a fenced in yard with all the toys you could imagine. I make sure my pups spend a lot of time outdoors as well as time inside getting loved on.

About: I've taken care of everything from snakes to guinea pigs to dogs to horses. Amphibians as well. I have worked in boarding for over 4 years, and I have been a vet assistant for one. I started off volunteering at the Charlotte Nature Museum when I was 15. I have interned at Carolina Raptor Center. I love all animals in any shape or size. I am also certified in Knowing Dogs 101 and 201, which covers recognizing individual and pack behavior. (ex. when your dog is in a doggy daycare and is playing with other pups.) I have two furbabies of my own, a guinea pig named Tatiana, and a spoiled rotten but adorable mutt named Sora. I promise hou that I will love your pets too! I have an open schedule for looking after your pet. I am more than happy to do morning and mid-day walks, visits, and feedings. I am unable to do late-night visits at this time. (After 8pm) I hold myself to a very high standard for looking after your pet. I will treat your pet and your home with the utmost respect. If they are on meds, then I will make sure that they get them on time and I can also give insulin if a pet is a diabetic.

About: I've been around and cared for pets for over 15 years so I have lots of experience. I’m very playful and nurturing so they will have plenty of love and attention even when away from you. I work in fundraising in elementary and middle schools, so I am on a teacher’s schedule. However, that means I have full availability during the summer to take care of as many fur babies as needed! I have a large back yard so they have room to run. I also have a little dog who loves company so your baby won’t ever feel alone.
