“They provided great care for our dogs! Super communicative and sent a ton of pictures every day. The dogs were happy and well cared for - would definitely have Bobby and Ashley watch them again!”


“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.”
“First time using a pet sitter and Zach and Nicole were awesome. I knew that my Meowser and Murray were in great hands. I will absolutely use them again and thankful for the peace of mind I had during my trip!”


“Lauren is beyond exceptional! She is very thorough with updates throughout the day and includes plenty of pics which we really appreciated. Not only did she take great care of our pups but also took pride in caring for our home as her own. Lauren is everything we have been looking for in a sitter; caring, loyal and respectful. We’ve already booked her for our next trip!”

“Alan was wonderful with the dogs and provided us lots of updates. Our one pup is extremely fearful around new people but Alan did so good just letting her come to him on her own time. This was the first time in years we used a sitter that wasn’t a family member but it was so smooth and we were able to enjoy our time away without much stress about our pups left behind.”

“First time using Rover and Edgar and his wife were AMAZING! I was hesitant to leave our 7 month old puppy with a stranger but from the moment I inquired, Edgar made me feel extremely comfortable. If you want someone who is kind, responsible, and love animals, Edgar is your guy!”

About: Dogs have been the center of my life for over 16 years. My journey started with my two little terriers. A Yorkie and a Silky Terrier who quickly turned my love for animals into a lifelong passion and purpose. Over the years I became the person friends, family, and neighbors call when they find an animal in need. Whether it's helping rescue a neglected dog, connecting someone with a shelter, or stepping in to care for a pet, I’ve always felt a deep responsibility to advocate for animals who can’t speak for themselves. In August 2023 I lost my soul dog, Lola, and the grief was overwhelming. In her honor, I began volunteering at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Animal Shelter in October 2023. Helping the dogs there reminded me how much love I still had to give. Since then I’ve fostered dogs for the shelter as well as local rescues like Peanut’s Place Small Dog Rescue and FurBabies Animal Rescue. Every foster that has passed through my home has received my full heart and dedication, and seeing them find loving homes has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. In 2024 I foster-failed with my sweet girl Lacey, who reminded me so much of Lola and became a permanent part of my family. Caring for rescue dogs has given me experience with dogs of many breeds, temperaments, and ages, from shy and scared pups to energetic personalities who just need guidance and love. Dogs aren’t just pets to me, they are family. I treat every dog in my care the same way I treat my own. I am currently working part-time, so I am home most of the day. My schedule is flexible and can make myself available for walks and feedings morning midday afternoons and evenings as needed. Providing a safe, loving, and calm environment is always my top priority. I live in a townhome with a small fenced backyard, and our neighborhood is extremely dog-friendly. Many of my neighbors have dogs, so I’m constantly out walking my dog and foster pups making sure they get exercise, enrichment, and fresh air. When caring for dogs in my home or yours, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as much as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also understand that every dog has a unique personality and comfort level, so I always take the time to learn their needs and boundaries. Safety and trust are incredibly important to me. I pay close attention to body language, keep a clean and calm environment, and ensure dogs always feel secure and comfortable. My experience volunteering, fostering, and walking dogs has helped me become very attentive to changes in behavior, energy, and stress levels. Whether your dog needs a relaxing walk, overnight care, or just someone to keep them company while you're away, you can trust that they will receive patience, love, and attentive care. As a bonus, I am fluent in both English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate with even more pet parents in our community.
“Eric watched our Dog and cat for 12 days. He communicated well with us, and very respectful while staying in our home. If you are looking for a responsible, dependable, and caring pet sitter, Eric is your guy.”


“If I could give Richard more than five stars, I would. Leaving our beloved Oliver and Stella for a week while we traveled to Colorado was much easier because of Richard. He was incredibly kind, patient, and thoughtful, but what really stood out was his communication. He kept us updated on everything, from eating habits and supplements to potty breaks and sleeping arrangements. We never had to wonder how they were doing because Richard always let us know. He paid attention to details that mattered and genuinely cared about their safety. When the weather was extremely hot, he adjusted their routine accordingly and made sure they stayed comfortable rather than risking walks in unsafe temperatures. It was also clear that Oliver and Stella adored him. They cuddled with him, sat on his lap, and settled in beautifully. Those little updates meant the world to us and showed just how much love and attention they were receiving. Richard is exactly the kind of person you hope to find when trusting someone with your pets: caring, responsible, attentive, and genuinely invested in their happiness. We would absolutely book with him again and honestly hope he becomes our permanent sitter whenever we're away. Oliver and Stella give him two paws way up!”


“Amy was wonderful with our girls! She was very communicative and we could tell the girls were having a great time while we were away. We’ll definitely be using Amy when we go out of town in the future!”

“Karyna was amazing to our fur babies! She house sat and cared for our 3 year old and 16 year old pups like they were her own. She sent us updates and pics/videos of them while we were on vacation and it was much appreciated! Karyna left our house tidy when she left. Thank you!!!!!!”


“David was a fantastic sitter. We reached out to him last minute for a 2+ week sit and he was prompt with his responses and flexible to all of our pet care needs. We received detailed updates and photos daily, and we could tell he really cared about our pets. Based on the photos and happy fur babies we came home to, we could tell they were comfortable and enjoyed their time with him too! He was proactive in asking questions, took the time to get to know our pets and left our house tidy. We would absolutely welcome him back to sit for us again.”


“Dayuna was great while she was watching Odin. She was flexible and and very responsive. She went above and beyond while she was looking after Odin.”

About: As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. 🐾 I have years of experience caring for my own dog and have also house sat and cared for friends’ pets while they were away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and following your pet’s normal routine. Most importantly, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care! ❤️ I currently work a full-time 9–5 schedule, but I have flexibility throughout the day for pet care! I’m available for early morning visits, lunchtime check ins or walks, and evenings after work. I’m also happy to coordinate with pet parents to find a schedule that works best for their pet’s routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Safety is always a priority, so I follow all care instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine while you’re away. At this time, I’m happy to provide pet sitting and care in your home, but I’m not currently able to host pets in my own home. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for!
“Anna was great with the boys and very communicative during her stay, sending plenty of messages and pictures to keep me updated. The boys were in great hands, and I will reach out to Anna again and can highly recommend her.”

Megan was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs! She cared for our reluctant Labrador and our very persnickety Rottweiler, both of whom have their own special instructions and unique personalities. Megan took the time to make them both feel comfortable, safe, and loved while we were away. She communicated with us throughout our entire trip, which gave us such peace of mind, and we looked forward to the daily pictures and updates. It was so reassuring to see our pups happy and well cared for while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be calling her again. We highly recommend Megan!

David was a fantastic sitter. We reached out to him last minute for a 2+ week sit and he was prompt with his responses and flexible to all of our pet care needs. We received detailed updates and photos daily, and we could tell he really cared about our pets.

Olivia did a GREAT job taking care of our dogs! She sent daily updates and pictures which we appreciated because we knew she was being very attentive and loving towards them. We came home to happy dogs and a well-cared for house! We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future!
Dayuna did amazing with my 2 pups! She was super sweet and caring for them. Got lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay. also left the house exactly how i left it, all very clean as no one came over! highly highly recommend her to watch your fur babies!!

Megan was amazing! She provided updates each day with lots of pictures. She made sure my dogs got plenty of exercise and they were so well cared for! Unfortunately there was an issue with my AC while I was gone and she was very patient and helpful in getting it resolved. My house was clean when I arrived home and I had 2 very happy and healthy pups greet me! I would absolutely have Megan stay with dogs again, no question!

Lindsay was great and very communicative. I’ve had the same dog sitter for 10 years and they moved so starting over had me a bit nervous. But Lindsay was great about asking questions and I felt very comfortable with leaving Stanley in her hands. I will def reach out to Lindsay in the future. It’s a relief when you can leave your pet and feel at ease while gone.

Me & My Girlfriend had a last minute cancellation on our pet sitter and reached out to Johanna last minute to see if she was available to watch our two pups. Luckily, she had availability and was able to watch them while we were out of town. She kept an open line by always sending us updates or pictures which we loved. Her compassion towards animals creates a worry free experience when she’s watching them. Frank and Whiskey loved having her over to take care of them and she even brought them special treats from home. We will continue to reach out to Johanna for all our pet sitting needs. She is truly a gem.

Julie did a great job with my three dogs to of whom are quite elderly. She ensured they got all of their meds and catered to my elderly rat terrier's pickiness. One of the dogs got sick while Julie was with them and she went the extra mile to care for her and stay in close contact with me. Thank you Julie.
