Christina did a great job. I had changed the cat food the day I left for my trip and it didn’t agree with his stomach. She cleaned up the vomit when he had a couple of accidents. Got back yesterday and he is happy and purring. Thank you Christina for taking such good care of my fur baby. I will definitely keep using her services.

About: Hi, I'm Jenny. I'm so excited to meet & care for your loved ones. Animals have been at the center of my life for more than 20 years. I spent five years working with a humane society, assisting with adoptions, foster programs, and cruelty cases, and I have fostered countless cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies throughout the years. This experience has given me the skills to care for pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. Pet sitting is now my primary focus, allowing me to provide dependable care, flexible scheduling, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, medication, or extra patience and support, I will tailor my care to their individual needs. I have experience administering medications and caring for senior and special-needs pets, who hold a special place in my heart. Friends often joke that I'm a "cat whisperer" because cats tend to warm up to me quickly, but I love dogs and cats equally. When your pet is in my care, you can expect reliable communication, compassion, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing they are receiving attentive, experienced care and plenty of love while you're away. I look forward to becoming your pet's next best friend! Since pet care is my full-time commitment. I'm available for daytime, evening, weekend, and holiday care. I dedicate my full attention, allowing me to be flexible and available when you and your pets need me. I can easily accommodate small dogs in my townhouse. I have a large deck to lounge around and plenty of areas to walk your pet & keep them safe. I offer flexible services to fit your pet's needs and your schedule, including drop-in visits, walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I can accommodate cats and kittens in my home if needed; however, most cats are happiest and least stressed when cared for in their own environment. Staying in a familiar space helps them maintain their routine and feel secure while you're away.

Kaitie is the sweetest. It’s easy to see how much she loves animals and genuinely cares for them. She’s very reliable, and easy to work with. She’s also a great communicator! I don’t worry about bit when she’s keeping my fur baby!

Kalie was wonderful with my high-energy, quirky & sometimes anxious pup! Capone was well cared for (fed, watered, played with & loved) and I came home to a happy boy after my trip. Kalie was on time for all appointments and spent the entire time I asked for with Capone. I enjoyed the photos she shared with me, and I would recommend her highly to care for your furry family members!

Very professional with written care plan and taking notes during meet & greet. Really appreciated the attention to detail. Brought a concern with one of the community cats to our concern and even asked is she needed to do anything. Really observant and present when she was on her visits with our guys. Absolutely recommend her as a caregiver.

About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs. Puppies, kittens, and senior animals are welcome. I am familiar with basic first aid and am familiar with the body language of most dogs. I do work full time during the week so weekends and non-business hours are best for me. I can easily serve the Catawba County area. I have reliable transportation. I am also available on most federal holidays. I'm happy to provide photos delivered electronically for each visit. I am clean and you can trust that your pets and welfare of your home are my top priority.

This was our first time using Rover. So we weren’t sure of so much of the process and how to find the “right” person. Jemma was so kind and patient with us and our animals. Her task was to care for five fur babies, two older dogs and three cats, one of which is 17 years old. Which let’s admit, is a lot for one person. She took time to come meet us all and my dogs who are very quirky and set in their ways, immediately were at ease with her. She didn’t hesitate for a second. She developed a great rapport with us and our animals. Most importantly, while we were away, she did a great job caring for everyone and communicated constantly with us. She kept everyone’s routine which meant everyone was comfortable and happy while we were away. We will continue to ask Jemma to help us care for our babies in the future. We are grateful to have found Jemma. She is awesome.

About: I have three years of experience providing loving and reliable dog sitting, caring for dogs of all ages and needs. I’ve fostered puppies through the Humane Society, gaining hands-on experience with young dogs and their unique care requirements. I’ve also cared for senior dogs and those needing medication, ensuring they stay comfortable, safe, and well-cared for while their owners are away. My goal is to provide compassionate, attentive care tailored to each dog’s individual needs. I incorporate pet sitting into my daily and weekly routine by balancing my schedule to ensure each dog receives the attention and care they need. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time, I prioritize each pet’s routine. I plan my week around their needs, making time for feedings, medications, playtime, and any special care required. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable and consistent care, ensuring pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I prioritize maintaining their routine to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and any necessary medication according to their specific needs. I also offer companionship, keeping pets engaged and reassured while their owners are away. Additionally, I respect my clients' homes by keeping spaces clean and following any special instructions to ensure a seamless experience for both pets and owners.

About: Hey everyone! I’m Shakeitha 👋 I work full-time Monday–Friday, so my availability is limited and may vary — but when I’m with your pets, they have my full attention. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, and I have hands-on experience working at two different dog daycare/spas. That means I’m very familiar with different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels — from shy pups to playful wiggle-butts. 🐾 At home, I have a friendly medium-sized dog of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy and loving to look after your fur family. Hey there! 👋 I do have a full-time job Monday–Friday, so my availability is limited — but I do my best to stay flexible and work around your pet’s schedule. I make sure every visit is on time and that your pets get the attention, playtime, and care they deserve while you’re away. While in my care, your fur babies will be treated just like my own — with lots of love, attention, and playtime. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions you provide. You’ll receive regular updates and plenty of photos so you can relax knowing they’re happy and safe.

My babies seemed very happy with Amy. She listened to directions. She was willing to walk and play with the energetic kitties. She was comfortable administering the meds to my older kitty. We received pictures and updates every time she checked in. I would definitely recommend her and use her again.
