About: The services I offer are dog walks and check ins. I am currently 26 years old and graduated from UNCC in May of 2022. I have always loved animals ever since I was a little girl. I started caring for family and friends animals when I was 12 years old and will often help out friends and family when they need me to. What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is that I will take the time to love and care for your animal like it was my own. I always try to go above and beyond whatever my task is. I hope to one day be able to care and love your animal as if you were there. I work part time during the week but I am free all day during the weekends. I would be able to provide walks and daily care for your pet. I have two cats and one dog who are very loving to all humans and animals . I want your pet to feel comfortable while you are away.
About: I grew up with having a dog around the house, so I have always loved being around pets. The last two summers I have pet sat for families while they were on vacation. Some of the dogs I have taken care of have had medical needs, so I am able to give dogs medication if needed. I have taken care of big and small dogs. I look forward to working and taking care of your pet! During the summer I have more availability outside of when I am on vacation. For house sitting services, I am happy to provide overnight care for your pet. There will be times I will leave the home to run errands, go to work, family time and etc. But I will make sure that your pet’s routine is kept in tact and that they get all the snuggles and love they need. I am a full time teacher so once the school year starts my availability will change. I will not be able to provide pet care in my home. But I can provide pet care in a clients home. I am able to provide walks, feed your pet, provide snuggles, and medication if needed. I will ensure the client home stays clean if I am booked for overnight pet care. If it is too hot outside I may limit the time for the walk. I will also bring a water bottle with a bowl to make sure your dog does not overheat.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and how unique each one of them are. To this day it amazes me how a pet can be your best friend , even if they can’t respond. They are the best listeners and the best huggers! I am home all day so I can take care of your fur children all day! It’s just my husband my daughters and I. Must be house trained .I do take more than one dog at once so please let me know if you want your dog to just be the only one here!! I have a 5 year old fur baby, I’m unsure his breed since we got him from a shelter but he’s super friendly , Also have 3 daughters daughter that loves animals just like me! I have a fully fenced yard as well!
About: I am a firm believer that our dogs and cats deserve the same treatment as our children. They are our family and I understand how important family is. They are angels covered in fur and I am happy to help take care of your buddy(buddies) whether you need a walk, sitting, a check in, a day hike, you name it! I am available everyday, and please feel free to reach out! I’m available 24/7. I’m always ready to hop in my car and head your way. Never a bad time to reach out. Gotta afford these diapers somehow. :) I will follow the wishes/ specified routines of the owners. If your pet has a special diet/ a preferred treat/ a routine for how they go about their day, then I will cater to that!
“Rachel is amazing! Very communicative and has the patience of a saint. She has walked my dogs when I’m away on long shifts at work and it gives me such a sense of comfort that she will be walking and visiting my pups.”

About: I love all animals and have always had a passion to work with animals. I grew up with dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, birds, you name it! I treat everyone's fur babies how I'd expect people to treat my mine. I use to do anesthesia-free dog teeth cleaning, so I am very comfortable with all sizes and types of dogs. I'm a good pick for your pets because I have a passion for animals and go up and beyond what's expected. I will always send you pictures of your sweet little babies while you are away on your trip. Let me take good care of your babies and give them someone who cares, wants to play and keep their mind of their owners while they are gone. Thanks for considering me :-) I am home most of the day every day so your fur baby will never be alone for too long at a time. I'm pretty flexible with times for drop ins as well. I have fenced yard that my dog loves to play in (more so, when he gets to have a buddy over) haha. Inside, dogs have full range inside the house and I let them on furniture. (If you are strict with your dog with getting on furniture, I will make sure he has the same set of rules at my place).

About: With 17 years of dedicated experience in dog care, I am the proud owner of three canine companions – one over 14 years old and two between 1-2 years old. Specializing in comprehensive care for senior dogs, I prioritize their well-being, and I am equally adept at managing the exuberance of high-energy dogs. Ensuring a hygienic and comfortable environment is a commitment I extend to all dogs in my care, with particular attention to the unique needs of senior dogs, including accidents, diaper changes, and puppy pad adjustments. My comfort level extends to administering medications, accommodating special diets, handling leash-pulling, and caring for larger breeds. I possess valuable knowledge in addressing the specific requirements of elderly dogs, demonstrating proficiency in managing issues like accidents, diaper usage, and the regular changing of puppy pads. I derive immense joy from engaging dogs in activities that balance their mood and energy levels, whether it's long walks, runs, or interactive play. When entrusted with a dog's care, I treat them as if they were my own, prioritizing their comfort, health, and happiness. Confident in my ability to discern any signs of discomfort or distress, I am vigilant as a pet owner and can readily identify when a dog requires assistance. I am fully adaptable and committed to following any special requests or specific needs for the pups under my care. While I may be new to professional dog sitting, my enthusiasm and passion for dogs make me eager to embark on this exciting journey. Rest assured, your furry companions will be in caring and capable hands under my watch. I can tailor the walks or check-ins to accommodate your schedule. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to adjust to the time that suits you best. In my dedicated care environment, safety, trust, and a comfortable setting are paramount for both my canine companions and future clients' dogs. With a senior dog and two energetic youngsters, my fenced-in backyard provides a secure space for them to play and explore. I understand the importance of addressing unique challenges, such as leash aggression, and have diligently worked with my dog to overcome it. I prioritize clear communication, always ensuring others are aware when encountering another dog. This proactive approach reflects my commitment to the safety and well-being of all dogs involved, fostering an environment where trust and harmony thrive.

About: I have been taking care of pets my whole life. I absolutely love the connection you get from animals. Learning their personalities is one of my favorite adventures! I'm a stay at home mom with 2 pitties of my own. I have open availability and would love to help you care for your family member! I prefer in clients home because of my own animals. They love each other but they aren't fond of strangers since the baby was born. I can not stay over night due to having a small baby
About: I grew up raising all different types of animals (birds, rabbits, dogs, lizards) and consider my pets my family. I have about 5 years of paid experience caring for pets and I have a cat of my own. :) I'm currently working from home and I have much free time during the day to make drop in visits or stay for a few hours/overnight as needed. You can ensure that your pets will be treated with the utmost care and looked after for as I would look after my own pets. :)
About: I’ve always loved animals since i can remember, back when i was younger my parents always tried to keep me away from animals and having too many but that still doesn’t stop me from having 3 of them! 🤭I have always taken care of cats since i can remember and lately i’ve been taking care of a few of my friends dogs whenever they need the extra help! I have had so many animals over the years from dogs to ferret to parrots and i absolutely love it! I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty (except for if you want me to take your cat a bath, i’ve learned from my mistakes and i would rather keep my life) but other than that i’m the one! even walking your pets i have no problem with! it will allow me to continue to procrastinate going to the gym and telling myself “this is my workout for the day” hahaha i hope to work with you soon! I am currently open anytime any day for drop ins or walks, so feel free to contact me! All I ask is that i’m asked at least 24/48 hours prior to the time needed! i am really all in for keeping pets safe! my family says i can be a little over protective over my animals but what can i say they are some sneaky rascals! But to give you a little insight i guess of how i take care of my animals is typically if i let my guinea pig out his cage to stretch his little legs i always block small entrances (because he will wiggle his way in there and get stuck lol) and i always pick up stuff off the floor i know he’ll chew on (one time i forgot to do this and he literally chewed the cord to my alexa😔) either way i just try to make sure i keep an eye on them (especially if their too quiet because that’s never good thing) and make sure i play with them and show them attention!
About: I would say that I’m a fairly laid back person who loves all animals and enjoys getting to know them and discovering their different personalities. They’re kind of like excited toddlers in that way. Each having their own unique personalities and needs. I’d love to have pets of my own one day and until then am excited to help others care for their own 🤍✨ I’m currently working as a baker in one of the local hospitals so my mornings are fairly limited. However I available for some early afternoon or late evening love from your pups! I’m also using this as an opportunity to see if I’ll be ready for a pet companion of my own in the near future as I’m still figuring this life and adulthood thing out! I currently live in a townhome with a small back patio; while I do offer boarding services, I’ve found that pets tend to be more at ease in their own homes more often than not.
About: I’ve loved and taken care of dogs my whole life. Dogs usually gravitate to me out of anyone else in the room. I’m a super active person so I am able to match the playful energy with doggies. I have a relatively flexible schedule and am able to stay overnight multiple nights if needed. I do sometimes have to leave for periods at a time but I never stay away from my animals too long. I have 3 dogs of my own, as well as one that routinely comes over to stay for week long periods. I have my dogs sleep in the bed with me so basically I am super comfortable with any furry friends. I feed morning and night as well as treats when appropriate.
About: Dogs, cats, snakes, scorpions, fish, spiders, hamsters, parrots, and ferrets, I have had them all. I have ten years of experience, and have been the neighborhood go to for pet sitting. I know how it feels to leave your pets behind when going on vacation, caring for a loved one, or working a long day, but I can be the assurance you need. I will keep you informed and in touch with your pet by sending you daily text videos and photos. I treat all pets as if they were my own and I am dependable and reliable. My work hours are pretty flexible, so I can accommodate most last minute requests and odd hours. I love all animals and look forward to meeting yours.
About: I have taken care of dogs every since I was little. As a kid I offered services for my neighborhood. I now want to offer services out of the comfort of my own home! I have a very flexible schedule with no job. I would love to become a full time pet sitter if I can! I love animals even rabbits, hamsters,etc. I have two dogs currently that are sweet. I take my dog outside everyday I have a strong compassion with animals and love to play with them. I feel for them when they have to stay in the house all day so I do things to entertain them. They are only here for so long ❤️

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
