“Anvesha has watched our cat, Hazel, several times. She does a fantastic job keeping Hazel happy and fed while we’re away. We’re so grateful that we can leave town with the peace of mind that Hazel will be well cared for until we return!”
“Olivia was amazing! She was punctual, responsive, and very organized. I would highly recommend her and would love to use her again to sit Dobby and bindi.”
“Beau was great! He dropped in to check on our dog when on a trip with friends. I didn’t think she would come out of the crate for a stranger - but wanted someone to at least check on her. She got out of her crate and even went outside with beau!”
“Breckyn made us feel so much better about leaving our kitties for a long weekend! She was timely, attentive, and provided great photos and summaries. Highly recommend!”
“Haley did a great job with Akela. She fed and refilled her water bowl as needed. She played with and chased Akela around the yard. Akela was as happy as can be when I got home!”
“Allison has looked after my cat multiple times, and I couldn’t recommend her more! She always takes good care, sends updates, and makes sure everything is secure before she leaves. It’s such a relief knowing my pet is in safe, while I’m away.”
“Meghan did a great job with my very-reluctant-to-leave-the-house-with-a-new-person dog. He takes a while to warm up when and trust that he’s not being kidnapped when I’m not around. She was very patient with him and got him out to pee and sat with him outside until it was time to go. I’ll definitely be having her over again and hopefully with time again my dog might venture to the back yard with her :)”
“Kathryn was fantastic! She communicated quickly and clearly. It was nice to get a lot of pics of my boys while she was there checking in, I know they had a great time with her!”
“Kelly is awesome! She shows up on time, sends pics and leaves my puppy happy and tired! When I got home my puppy Luna had the biggest smile on her face and was rolling on her back all night. Makes me feel good, knowing that Luna was getting the love and care she needed! Highly recommended Kelly! I will definitely be using her for our future needs!”
“Lauren was wonderful taking care of our 2 very shy kitties while we were away for a week. She is easy to communicate with and very responsive. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Joseph was the best! I have a reactive dog that barks at everything that moves and Joseph handled him so well. Fed him, took him out, sent updates, and was very good at communicating with me! I am so appreciative of Joseph!”
“Hannah took care of our babies and follow our i strict ions for our elder cat. She asked questions for clarification if needed. We appreciate her taking care of them and will definitely be rebooking with her.”
About: Owning dogs my whole life is just the tip of my experience iceberg. Throughout college, I worked with a doggy daycare and volunteered at shelters in the goldendoodle capital of the world, Utah. I have worked with the pups, the silver furred sweeties, and all ages in-between. I personally enjoy the more active breeds and am no stranger to the lengthy hikes or playtimes required to put that energy to good use. There have been some dogs in my experience that need more attention, ie. disabled pups, or injury prone breeds, and I am willing to work with whatever they need! I am new to the Charlotte area and doing part-time work, so my schedule is quite flexible and open! Weekdays are open to whatever your dogs are in need of. Your home, your rules! As I will be doing drop-ins/walks, it matters to me that you and your dogs feel comfortable and in routine! :)
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 18, helping out friends and family with both dog sitting and house sitting. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I genuinely love spending time with them. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just keeping them company. I always aim to make pets feel safe, happy, and at home. I work from home full-time, which means I can give your pup plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m flexible with scheduling and can easily stick to your dog’s usual routine, whether that’s regular walks, playtime breaks, or just being there for some extra company. I’m very attentive with my own dog at home, making sure she’s walked, fed, and well cared for every day. I’ve also fostered puppies in the past, which taught me the importance of patience and consistency, especially when it comes to potty training and helping them adjust to a new environment.
“Very nice, great communication will hire again!”
“Alaina took great care of Fenway and she went on some pretty long walks!”
About: have experience bathing, feeding, grooming, and playing with dogs and cats. I grew up with 3 dogs, not including the many fosters my mom took in from our local humane society, and I now have my own kitten, Tillie. I am a student, so I have flexibility throughout weekdays for lunchtime care, and am always available weekdays for dinnertime car and on all weekends. During drop- in visits and dog walking times, I will care for your pets as if they were my own! I am very conscientious of disposing of pet waste properly, and can handle the weight of walking a large dog.
“Emily was fantastic! Our Dog Nova absolutely loved her. Emily took the time to understand that Nova loves playing with her toy, and made sure to make time to play with her during the drop ins. 10/10 will be using Emily in the future.”
“Mia takes such loving care of my shy kitten and her family, all outdoor stray kitties. Sometimes they were on the front porch, and other times they liked the back patio. Mia took time to find the kitties each visit while I was away for a few days. She was so attentive and sweet to my kitty family. She helped them feel comfortable with her reliable visits.”
