Sophie was wonderful for my anxious girl, Roxie! I felt very comfortable leaving her in Sophie's care, and she was very willing to do all the little things that I told her would make Roxie feel more cozy and safe, and even spent some extra time playing with her! If you have a dog that has anxiety, or has any issue that requires a little extra care, Sophie will go the extra mile for you!

Christina did a great job with our cats while we were away. We have an older(14yr) and a younger cat (7yr), so each has different needs. Christina did everything we asked her to do. Will definitely be using Christina again!

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.

Carrie was great! Our little opinionated chihuahua absolutely loved her, and Carrie spent extra time with him going above and beyond. We will be sure to book her again if we go out of town and can’t bring our dog.

About: Hello. Call me Kathy. I love all animals especially dogs and I have raised and cared for many over the years. I enjoy having other dogs in my home so that my own Teddy can socialize and make new friends. I have lots of time for long walks or lazy snoozes on the couch with my pooches. I love all breeds and most of my friends have a furry family member. When they go away they depend on me to care for their precious pets because they trust me and they know I will love and care for their pets just like I do my own. I am dependable and reliable and enjoy having fun with the dogs and teaching them new tricks. I live in an apartment but the property has lots of places to walk and run including a large, fenced-in dog park where the pups can run and play leash-less and carefree. This is a great opportunity for the dogs to meet and greet other pets in the area and just have fun together. Plenty of water is made available for the pooches as well as balls and toys. So, if you are looking for a place to leave your precious friend when you go away, trust Comfy Canine Care to give your pets the love and “at home” experience that you want them to have. So, reserve a spot for your furry friend today at Comfy Canine Care. I am retired now so I have lots of time for pet sitting and walking around the neighborhood and to the dog park on a regular basis. The dogs are allowed anywhere {including furniture but only if it is allowed in your own home}. Please let me know if there are any restrictions.

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!

Leslie was great! She left our house the way she found it and loved on my sweet kitties while we were away. She sent pictures letting me know they were ok, which I very much appreciated! She followed my food directions perfectly. She was very accommodating and didn't mind changing out my cats' stinky litterbox lol ? If I have to leave town again, I will definitely use her again! Highly recommend!

Madison took such excellent care of our kitty while we were gone. She is extremely communicative and flexible and followed the instructions we left behind. She also kindly adjusted her schedule when we needed an extra week of care. Our cat took to her immediately and got the TLC she needed. If you are looking for a responsible sitter, Madison is the way to go!

About: I genuinely care about the safety and comfort of your pet, and I will take care of them as if they were my own! I am detail-orientated and will follow specific instructions closely so your pet feels comfortable while you're away! Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine because I am focusing on a more active lifestyle. I enjoy taking walks regularly. I am a college student, but I have a flexible schedule so I can accommodate drop-ins or walks before or after classes! When it comes to caring for pets, I make sure to follow all instructions closely and maintain a regular routine as much as possible. I can feed pets, provide fresh water, playtime and any other requests to ensure wagging tails! I prioritize keeping the environment safe, clean, and comfortable and I always treat the home with respect. I also make sure pets receive all the love and attention that they need while their owner is away.

About: I’ve grown up fostering and owning all sort of animals! From bottle feeding puppies to raising abandoned birds, I’ve done it. I’ve been known to bond with animals who have been considered “grumpy” or “solitary”, too. I have experience taking care of a wide range of animals as well and look forward to taking care of yours! My schedule is wide open so fitting pet care in will be my top priority whether you want me to come to you or if you want to leave your pet in my care. I do daily walks and dog park runs with my pup and would be happy to do the same with yours! My home is open concept with plenty of room to play and I have a large couch if that’s more your pets speed. I am highly detail oriented so if I’m visiting your pet at home, I’ll make sure they get exactly the care you’re looking for. You’ll also receive lots of pictures when your pet is in my care!

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.

Cannot say enough good things about Caitlin. She was precisely on time for the meet and greet as well as all drop in visits. Didn’t just run in and out but spent time with our fur baby. I highly recommend her and look forward to using her again for our future pet care. It’s nice when you’re out of town having someone you can depend on like Caitlin. Makes for a more relaxing trip when those drop in visit alerts go off right on time.
