I live in an apartment but I am on second floor close to nearest exit, takes about 30 seconds to go down the stairs out to a grass area. Live in the heart of south end so lots of walking areas.
“Lauren is truly great! Our meet and greet was so warm and reassuring, and her communication has been impeccable from the start.

Her updates are always solid and thoughtful, and I’m so excited for her to continue walking my dog. Highly recommend!”

About: I have cared for family, friends, and neighbors' pets since childhood. I have experience walking, feeding, training, and giving lots of love to dogs and cats. I am responsible, communicative, and mindful of your pet's needs. I like to be active, so there can be lots of walks in your pet's future, but I also enjoy cuddling up on the couch if your pet prefers to lounge around. I work remotely and full-time, with fairly flexible hours (occasionally going into a coworking space when not pet-sitting). I am in Charlotte most weekends as well. I enjoy taking short breaks throughout the day to walk, play, or cuddle with any fur baby. I live in a townhome community with a green space and next to a neighborhood with great walking paths. Overall it is a very pet friendly area. I live in a three bedroom/three story townhome with room for your pet to stretch out and relax in a calm and peaceful environment. My unit is very well sound-proofed, with no excessive noise from neighbors or other pets. I am happy to send pictures of the green space and townhome upon request.

“Lew is the animal whisperer. Animals are always gravitating towards here and feel so cared for with her. She treats every animal as her own. She is always so careful and considerate with animals while also being great at training them. In the past year, she has rescued two fur babies - a cat and a dog - off the streets. Her cat is leash trained and she trained her dog to not be leash aggressive. Animals are a part of our family and they mean so much to us. It’s important to find someone you can trust with them - Lew is your answer for that.”

Kadee O.
“I’ve known Kadee as one of my closest & most trusted friends for the past 13 years. She knows I am an absolute animal loving/dog loving individual who will go out of my way for any animal, no matter how big or small. This all goes to say that I wouldn’t keep any friends that don’t share the same sentiments, SO you can certainly depend on Kadee to take care of and love your fur babies! For reference, I have three dogs & two cats. Kadee has fur babies of her own, one being a pug I gifted her 11 years ago this month <3”
Alissa Z.
“If you're like me and your pet is like a member of the family, then leaving them with someone new or even sending them on a walk can be a daunting task. How can you be sure that this beloved member of your family is having someone truly responsible watch after them? Enter Alissa. Alissa is hands down one of the most dog loving people you'll ever meet. Along with her love for animals she has a friendly, bubbly personality that will put you and your dog at ease.

Her constant attention to detail during her visits will ensure that the Rover experience is great for you and your pet! Beyond all of that, her communication is bar none and the pictures she'll send to you throughout her time will brighten your day and make leaving your pet that much easier.
