House Sitting Starmount

About: With over two decades of hands-on dog walking experience, I understand the importance of routine, safety, and respecting each dog’s unique boundaries and preferences. I currently care for two leash reactive dogs of my own. I like to balance walks with exercise and enrichment - combining cardio with plenty of sniffing time. My goal is always to provide a walk your dog enjoys, while keeping them safe and supported every step of the way. I start every day off by walking my own two dogs. Colder months allow for increased timing flexibility, while warmer months can be restricted due to heat and pavement temps. I am free to walk dogs in the mornings, midday and evenings. My goal is always to keep you dog safe, based on the behavior information that you provide. I respect the wishes of every pet parent and can avoid other dogs to prevent reactivity and reinforce confidence through rewards.

“Our pets are always happy when we return to the house after Lauren has taken such good care of them. The cat has had her medicine and the dog has been entertained. Thank you, Lauren.”

“Loved having Adam as our Rover! Adam watched our Great Dane for a three-day weekend. Before the weekend, Adam came over for a meet-and-greet to make sure that this was a good fit. Adam was responsive for scheduling and on time. He asked thoughtful questions that showed his familiarity with different breeds and dogs’ needs. We were happy that Adam agreed to watch Scrappy! Over the three-day weekend, Adam arrived on time and excited to see our boy. Adam sent us updates, including lots of photos. He even went above and beyond, playing lots of ball in the yard and cleaning up after our boy. Adam also took good care of our house. It was well kept when we returned, and Adam even took out the trash and stripped the used linens (something that we didn’t ask for but were appreciative of). And when we returned, we were touched to see that Adam had left a dog-specific music channel on the TV (something that Adam had mentioned to us during our meet-and-greet and that we were eager to see used). We’ll be using Adam again! Very thankful for his sitting!”

“I’m so grateful for the care and kindness she showed Sammy. I had to come home early due to some health challenges, and she was incredibly understanding and communicative throughout everything. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Sammy was in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”

“We left our three dogs in Stephanie’s care for the weekend, and they were great! It was our first time hiring a sitter, so we were a bit nervous. We loved getting the many pictures and updates!! We will definitely be using her again!!”

“Andrea was great and helped care for Rosie while we were out of town. Would definitely use her services again, we really appreciate everything she did!!”

“Lexie was the best!! She stayed at my house for a week, taking excellent care of my two monsters. I came home to a clean house and poop free yard! My older dog has a lot of health issues and Lexie handled all the medicine, accidents and special needs situations like a PRO. Will definitely be booking again!”

About: I've dealt with all kinds of animals my entire life and treat all of them as if they were my own! Dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, etc. I love them all. I've owned big and small dogs along with many cats and other pets! Whatever kind of personality or needs your pet has they will be treated with the most gentle, loving and understanding care they can get🩷 I moved to Charlotte recently and my schedule is open throughout the week! I am open to scheduling in the morning, afternoon, and evening, just contact me and we can figure out what works best for you. I'll provide careful and attentive care for your pets in their own home so they can feel relaxed and taken care of in their safe space. I follow directions thoroughly and will always be the most gentle and careful with your pet and home. I'll keep things consistent to your pet's energy level and I'm very observant and familiar with pet body language so they will always feel comfortable. I always send regular updates so you can feel calm and secure that your pets are happy and in good hands🩷

“Addy was amazing! She helped me out when I was in a bind and needed someone to house and dog sit for me with short notice. She saved the day!! She took amazing care of my dogs and my home! I’ll definitely be reaching out to her in the future to help care for my dogs!”

“Monica is the best. She’s watched Kairo several times and always goes above and beyond to make sure we are comfortable while away. She is our go to caregiver for Kairo. Highly recommend her!”

About: I have always had a dog growing up but rescued my own dog, almost 7 years ago and trained him from 1 month old. The experience intensified my love for dogs and training them! I am used to going on walks, potty training, and feeding schedules as well as accommodating quirks (my guy can be weird so I get it lol). I work full time from home so as long as I have notice of when I am needed it should work seamlessly in my life. If pet sitting at your home I want to keep your dog as comfortable and on routine as possible. I am well versed in all sorts of quirks so just let me know and I can adapt to whatever your pet needs. I will be diligent about following instructions and will give lots of attention and affection while you are away.

“Paris was incredible!! My husband and I have a very sweet, animal reactive dog with skin issues, so we’re always nervous about leaving her. We had an opportunity to go to Japan for two weeks so we wanted to find the right baby sitter. Paris came prepared with questions and calmed our fears about leaving our dog. She was very organized and wrote down all our comments. She also followed up with us about any comments in a timely manner. Paris was attentive, kept us informed, and gave us updates on our dog on a time schedule that worked for us half way across the world. Our dog loved her and we came home to a happy, healthy dog and a clean house. I could not recommend Paris enough.”

“Amy was great because her stay was so uneventful! We were able to go away and did not have to worry about our dog at all. She was also super responsive. Would definitely recommend and will use her again.”

“Dayuna was a pleasure and kept my mind at ease on my first trip away from my pups. She sent updates and cute pics/videos and followed instructions well. They loved her and we would definitely rebook in the future.”

“Margaret accepted a last minute house sitting request after another house sitter canceled the night before. I was really anxious but she calmed all my worries! She made time for a video call, answered all my questions, and sent pictures throughout the stay. She respected my space, cleaned up for me, and made comfy spots for my kitties. My cats LOVED her! I checked in and saw them all cuddling and it really made me feel at ease. I am really grateful for her services and will definitely be reaching out again!”
