“Kaylee was great! She is very communicative and respectful! My one fur baby was obsessed with her! My other one warms up slowly so she hid most of the time, but Kaylee was patient and let her have her space which I appreciated!!”


“Hilary was amazing! She took great care of my Abby and showed her lots of love. She was very thorough and addressed all of Abby’s needs. Abby was happy to see her and we will definitely be using Hilary again!”


About: Hey pet parents! I’m Kameron—a lifelong animal enthusiast with a soft spot for every creature, big or small. 🐶🐾 I grew up in a house full of animals, and since then, I’ve cared for everything from dogs, cats and guinea pigs (I’ve had five!) to bunnies and even a leopard gecko! I’m currently an intern and volunteer at an animal shelter where I work with the community to promote adoption, be a voice for the voiceless, and champion responsible pet ownership. I’ve also fostered pets and provided personal pet sitting, and I'm the proud pet parent of a very spoiled guinea pig. Animals aren’t just a passion—they’re my purpose. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and totally at home while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a long walk, couch cuddles, or a little TLC, I’m here for it all! Let’s make tails wag and whiskers twitch—I can’t wait to meet your pet! I have been a pet sitter and caretaker in my personal life on and off for over 5 years- whether that be family, friends or friends of friends. I started this journey pet sitting on the side, but have made the decision to leap into it more full time! I am currently super flexible on my pet sitting, as I am in between jobs & new to the Charlotte area. I would love to provide any care I can within my availability! I live in a large apartment complex with plenty of area to walk. There is a small dog run on the complex property & walking trails/parks just minutes away. I have a two bedroom apartment, allowing your pet ample space! For more specific questions, please contact me directly- I am more than willing to adjust my lifestyle for what your pet needs! In the past, I have kept other pets separate from my guinea pig- as not all pets get along & to maintain personal space for both animals. I have experience with animals that need a crate, as well as ones that do not! I have cared for pets with a long criteria list, and pets that are just go with the flow. Both are welcome! As a pet parent myself, I would want my animal being cared for to my preferences & want to make sure they feel safe and loved while their parents are away. I do have a guinea pig! Rover does not have a section to add in My Pets section (Dogs & Cats were the only choices). But he will be kept separately!

About: I've loved animals my whole life. When I was 15 I finally got my own dog, Piper (an 8wk old Catahoula mix). That following Summer I began to care for three other dogs for a few days a week at their home, letting them out and playing with them. Likewise, the summer before college I worked at a boarding kennel/day care. I enjoyed playing with and caring for nearly 20 different dogs every day! In August of last year, my husband and I got our very own dog! Her name is Fern, and she is another Catahoula! *NOTE* I work 7-6 M-F Charlotte at a doctor’s office. Thus, I am unfortunately unable for drop-in services during the day. If your dog requires round the clock care, I unfortunately cannot be your person. I am willing to negotiate rates if you need to hire a midday dog-walker while I take care of nights. I believe in complete transparency and wouldn’t want to promise something I couldn’t do. My husband helps me out from time to time during the day on the weekends if I get stuck in clinic! He will sometimes stay in my place, and always comes to the first meet and greet. He’s also a verified animal lover (and the one in all the pics!) At my apartment complex, we have a fenced in dog park that I can allow our dogs to play in. Likewise, I have the space to crate your dog if needed. I believe in positive reinforcement training, and will be sure to give your pet lots of (approved) treats and love.

“It's too bad 5 stars is the highest rating because Barbara exceeded our expectations. One of the three pups she watched for us normally takes a very long time to warm up to new people. She sent us pictures from the first visit, as well as every visit, and it was obvious right away that she had totally won that one and the two others over. From that moment on, we had no concerns about their care. I would 100% recommend her to care of anyone's furbabies and would certainly choose her for any future times.”


About: I have had cats and dogs my entire life! Before I moved to SC 3 years ago, I spent a few years working for a non-profit animal shelter in Louisiana. My job included cleaning kennels, feeding/watering, medicine administration, socialization, preparation for adoption/freedom rides, and of course lots and lots of pets and cuddles. I currently have 2 large rescue dogs (Cooper-5, Moo-3) and 1 rescue cat (Josephine-1) with my fiancé (Matthew-29). We love to take the animals on daily walks and hikes on long weekends! My purpose in life is to make sure my pets live a better life than me. And they definitely do! I have a very flexible full time job that allows me to be home most of the time. I make sure my dogs get daily walks and my cat’s litter box is cleaned daily! And enrichment activities on days where the weather doesn’t cooperate. My pets are my life. They are always up to date on their vaccinations, kennel trained, and always on a leash when not inside our home/fence. They also get clipped in when we go on truck rides. Moo has had to undergo TPLO surgery on one of her legs so I have plenty of patience for a 8 week recovery for a hyper active dog. Including administering her medication, doing her daily stretches and icing, as well as making sure she got outside time by pushing her in a cart on walks.

About: Ive had pets ever since i was younger including cats, dogs, bunnies, etc I gained experience with animals and how to take care of them. Available Friday-Sunday, but may be available after 4pm on Monday-Thursdays feel free to send me a request & I will get back with you asap! Will take proper care of your pet making sure their fed, walked if needed, and all of their needs. I can walk dogs, and make sure they have play-time.

“Morgan was amazing. She took such good care of our kitty while we were away. She left the house cleaner than when we left and our cat was so content when we came home. I could tell that he was so well taken care of. We are using Morgan again for our next trip and I would recommend her to anyone.”


“Stella was unbothered by my absence because Tony took such good care of her while I was gone. Thanks Tony! My family vacation was not a nervous one because I know my girl was in good hands.”


About: I believe animals are powerful teachers. They resonate more often and most consistently with Unconditional Love and it is truly fun and fulfilling to serve as guardian for their kind! It’s all about energy!! When there is mutual trust, respect and appreciation for each other, beautiful, lasting, mutually beneficial friendships between mankind and beast can be formed. It would be an honor to get to know your pet!! I just quit my day job so the only thing I do now is go to the gym and focus on creating, building and maintaining multiple dreams/goals (streams of income). I typically follow a written process for animal/s with specific medical or emotional needs and triggers. Whatever exercise/feeding schedule is habitual and comfortable for your Familiar is my priority. If the animal/s signals to me that it requires or desires something different, I check with the guardian first.


About: I have had dogs, cats, birds and farm animals since I was a kid. I still enjoy the company of many animals though only having one pet myself now. For two years now I have thoroughly enjoy helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pet needs while they’re away by checking in, feeding them, cleaning after the pets, and playing with them. I also have experience giving cats medicine including insulin shots. I am currently working part time on weekends, only picking extras shifts at the hospital periodically during the week, so I have plenty of time to check-in and take care of your beloved pet. I often times can stop by before or after work as well should it fit your needs. I always start by letting pets warm up to me while offering g a treat or favorite toy for break the ice. I make sure the front door is closed behind me while keeping an eye on pets to ensure they don’t get outside when coming and going. I make sure to leave things tidy as found so that pets do not sneak into food and over eat and get sick.

Kameron T.
“Kameron took care of my 5-year-old cockapoo, Indy, and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for her. From the beginning, Kameron was warm, professional, and clearly attentive to every detail. She took the time to really get to know Indy’s routine, personality, and little quirks—which meant a lot to me. Indy can be a bit homesick at first, but she connected with Kameron right away, which is rare and told me everything I needed to know. While I was away, Kameron kept me in the loop with thoughtful updates and photos that showed Indy was not only safe, but truly happy and comfortable. She treated Indy with the kind of care and attention I would give her myself. Kameron is responsible, kind, and has that rare intuition when it comes to animals. I’d absolutely trust her again in a heartbeat—not just because she’s great with pets, but because she’s a genuinely awesome human being.”
