“Lisa was great with our boys! They were happy to have some company while we were away for the weekend. I loved getting photos of them while we were gone! I truly felt like they were in great hands with Lisa and look forward to working with her again!”


“Once again Amanda knocked it out the park! Our baby was super anxious when we left and I was so worried about her. Amanda came through like a rock star even offering different things she could do to try and help alleviate some of Jewel's stress. She kept me updated throughout the entire weekend and was so awesome with her communication. We are so blessed we found her!”



“Our dogs seemed very well cared for! We loved all the pictures, check-ins were always pretty punctual and communication was great. We would love to work with Damacia again!”


“This was our first time using Rover and we are so glad we found Jeffrey. He took such great care of our diabetic cat so we could rest easy on vacation.”

“Kristen is a gem of a person and so attentive to our dog, Skye. She sends lots of updates and pictures and is also very funny. She is great to work with and I totally trust her with our furbaby.”


“Kay was a wonderful cat sitter to our sweet girl. She was responsive, responsible, and connected well with our kitty Cleo. Would definitely recommend her to others!”


“Audrina is fantastic! I honestly cannot say enough good things about her. She is the first cat sitter I’ve had for my cat, so I was a little nervous, but she put my mind at ease. The updates and pictures were wonderful and I just know she took care of my cat like he was one of her own. I would definitely recommend Audrina to everyone!”


“Great job. Nice photos and Keira seems very happy to have had a visit.”


“Cassie did an excellent job with my two kittens. She provided daily updates with photos which were awesome to see. Very dependable and was more than happy to make a last minute check in when I had some scheduling issues. 10/10 recommend.”


“Whitney was awesome. Very kind, professional, communicated well, and took great care of my cat! Highly recommend.”


“Alexander was awesome! My silly, hyper pup warmed up to him well and he made sure my big oy was taken care of without any deviations from our routine. I will be planning on booking Alexander soon!”


“Being away from my furbabies is always stressful. Nicole was able to ease my stress with her excellent care of my 3 furbabies. One super senior on lots of meds and the other two prior feral makes them not the easiest to care for. Nicole did great with walking, feeding and any special needs that occurred. I will use Nicole again should I need to travel without my furbabies.”


About: YOᑌ ᕼᗩᗪ ᗰE ᗩT ᗷᗩᖇK 𐂯 I've always had a passion for working with animals, and that love has only grown over the years as I've helped family and friends with their furry friends. I was lucky enough to spend three and a half wonderful years at 4 Dogs Pet Supplies, a charming local shop in Charlotte, NC. It was such a joy to meet so many wonderful dog breeds and discover the best products and care practices for our beloved pets. I also got to team up with another small business, where I had the pleasure of caring for both dogs and cats and plants—everything from playful puppies to treasured older pets. Each day was filled with rewarding experiences in animal care! On top of that, I've volunteered at animal shelters and even participated in an amazing equine therapeutic riding program. These experiences have really deepened my commitment to animal well-being and the importance of supporting our community. It's been a truly fulfilling journey! And am very thankful for those who have trusted me with the animals. ✮ I am currently out of school for the summer and have a part-time job, which gives me plenty of availability to help care for your animals. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I am available anytime after 1 PM for walks, drop-ins, or anything else you need. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, I can assist at any time. Let me know how I can help! 𐂯 I always strive to treat animals, plants, and homes with the same love and care I give to my own! My goal is to provide the best care possible for my clients, so I ask plenty of questions to understand their preferences. This helps me create a safe and secure environment while building trust with both the owner and their furry friends.

About: Experience caring for dogs in all ages and stages. Comfortable giving medications, following special diets, and anything else to keep your dog healthy and happy. I work full-time Monday-Friday, but am available in the evenings and weekends. I’m okay with adding additional furry members to my household while you travel and/or dropping in to check on them in the comfort if their own home. Full disclaimer: I have a senior dog, a cat, and school-aged children. Everyone in my household is friendly with both dogs and cats. My yard is fenced (4ft, chain-link) and dogs have access to a screened in porch if they prefer staying outdoors during the day. I’m more than happy to keep them inside, either crated or not, depending on your preferences.

“Jordan is an absolute gem. We hire her every time we are out of town and our cats (one of whom has get a get an insulin shot very 12 hours) are so well cared for. 10/10, definitely book her!”


“Aparna was consistent, on time and always communicative. She took great care of our one senior dog and 2 cats and made sure she spent the designated time attending to their needs and caring for them.”



“Janet is extremely caring and responsible! She goes beyond to be sure my three crazy kitties get what they need even when they are being stubborn (a cat? No way!). She is always my first contact when we need pet care.”


“Tess did a fantastic job taking care of my German Shepherd while I was away for a work trip! She exceeded expectations and met all of my dog’s needs! Because of her help, my dog is happy and healthy and I did not need to worry at all while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help taking care of their pets!”
