“Madison was super sweet and easy to communicate with, especially on short notice for a dog walker! She made sure Percy got a good walk in and gave me peace of mind he was cared for while I’m at work! I would recommend her to any other pet parents needing a walk or daycare or drop in visits! :)”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life and they are the center of my world. Over a decade ago, I began walking and sitting dogs for friends and family. This led to working at a boarding kennel and walking dogs through Barkly (another sitting service) while I was in college. In recent years, I’ve been frequently caring for my friends and neighbors pets while they are away. Previous clients have expressed that they are appreciative of how I treat and love on their pets like they are my own. That includes many pictures and videos for you while you’re away. One time, I even crocheted a sweater for the pup during their stay! Spending time with and caring for dogs is a special kind of therapy that I can’t get enough of. I am currently available to watch animals full time, both on weekdays or weekends (depending on the service). That means plenty of walks and full attention to your pet’s care. I live in a secure apartment that has plenty of room for your dog to play and feel right at home. It is always kept tidy and safe for furry friends. There is a secure balcony and big windows for people watching. Dogs are welcome on furniture and the bed. If you prefer to provide a crate, that works too!

“Megan is such an awesome pet sitter! She was excellent at communicating and sending pictures. She even tried her best with my high anxiety dog, who does not like people. I will most definitely book with Megan again! Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with many pets and always have animals in my life, like the 2 cats I have and love now for 10 years Every day I take care of a my 10 year old queen cat and at 2 month old kitten that we just adopted. I walk a couple of dogs regularly and have some cats that i am a go to for when their parents are away I am neat and focused when taking a dog out or taking care of cats. I clean up after feeding and litter boxes and put everything where it belongs before departing

“Lucia is amazing and my dog loves her to pieces! She takes some of the best pictures I’ve ever seen of my dog too. I highly recommend her!”

Andrew N.

“I had a bad experience with the Dog Sitter that was recommended to me through a friend, so I was apprehensive about getting another Dog Sitter from a site that I didn’t know anything about. Montana put me at ease. She met me prior to booking and she met my dogs. She communicated and took pictures for each visit. She went above and beyond to keep my mind to love on my pups.”

“Kelly did a great job! She was able to arrange a last-minute meet and greet as I was traveling unexpectedly during New Years and did an excellent job with my two large dogs and 4 cats. She followed all of their care instructions and all of my pets were happy and well cared for when I returned. I am already scheduling my next booking with her, highly recommended!”

About: Hi my name is Madison and I am extremely passionate with animals, especially dogs and cats. I grew up around rescue dogs as pets and then pursued more experience in animal welfare organizations during college and after. Organizations such as Brother Wolf Animal Rescue in Asheville, NC and Lake Norman Humane in Cornelius. I am a current active volunteer with the City of Charlotte Animal Care and Control. Through these hours each week I am exposed to dogs and cats from all different backgrounds. My schedule is extremely flexible whether it be for walks or longer care in the morning, afternoon, and evenings. Currently I am looking for full-time work due to budget cuts at my job of 7 years. My typical day looks like job applications and volunteering for at least a few hours at the city animal shelter. Even when I am not there I love helping with dog profiles and other ways to advocate for them. Care depends on the dog and/or cat parent’s preferences since I know each dog and cat are unique. Especially in their home they are used to a specific routine and I want to do my best to uphold their “normal” to help keep them and their parent(s) at ease while away. My home situation is an apartment but there is a courtyard close for easy bathroom breaks and then great walking routes. If they prefer outdoor playtime there are parks nearby as well, or other options the parent feels comfortable with. I can also fit a crate in my apartment if that is preferred by the parent and/or dog. While I do have cats in my apartment, I can keep them separated from a visiting dog. They are used to dogs because sometimes I bring home shelter dogs as a “daycation” break away from the loud shelter. Therefore I am well-versed in making sure everyone stays safe. If taking care of a cat in their home the same principles apply to make sure they feel as comfortable in their usual routine as possible. I understand that cats are especially sensitive to change.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was around 10 years old. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable following specific routines, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I’m patient, attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m currently in nursing school, which has helped me become responsible, attentive, and great at following routines. I’m available on weekdays after 2 PM and have mostly open availability on weekends. I’m able to dedicate quality time to your pet, making sure they receive plenty of care, attention, and love while you’re away. I provide a safe, loving environment and follow each pet’s routine closely. I have one friendly French Bulldog, and all dogs are introduced slowly and supervised. In clients’ homes, I focus on maintaining feeding, walking, and play schedules so pets feel comfortable and secure as if they were with their family!

“Charlie is super nice, punctual, very accommodating and wonderful with Dash. I could tell Dash really liked Charlie’s company as well. Will definitely rebook with Charlie in the future!”
