Dog Sitting Trinity

“Home drop in went well, after we got our communication straight.. Martini's first drop in and happy he responded well to the sitter. A true life saver when you're away and pup needs a potty break.”

About: I have always had dogs growing up and got my own when i moved out. I have a 3yr old dog that’s fully trained by myself! I have plenty of free time and flexibility and can’t wait to spend it with your pet! I don’t have very many schedule restrictions and am home a majority of the time. I abide by any rules and schedules you may have for your home or pet! I worry when I leave my own dog, and want to make your time away from your furry friend as comfortable as possible!

About: I have been an avid animal lover my whole life and that passion has lead me to multiple careers relating to animal care. I've worked in retail, I've worked in shelters and rescues, and I've even done training and behavior modification. I just love to see that animals get the love and attention they deserve! If you ever wondered who animal professionals hire when they need a pet sitter: it's me! I don't mind working with fearful pets, taking joy in letting them build up trust first. I have a knack for getting animals to come out of their shell and I don't take it personally if they need a little extra time to warm up. I'm comfortable with administering medication, grooming and bathing needs, and I don't shy away from a pet that needs a little extra TLC. With enough lead time, I can make myself available for nearly any kind of care your pet needs. I am flexible with time and dates! Cats and dogs can thrive on routine, so I will do my best to stick to your care schedule! Show me how your pet likes to have things done! Of course, there will always be tons of cuddles and pets no matter what!

“Alison was great with my senior dog. She paid attention to all the details, took great care of him, and sent me pics to set my mind at ease.”

“Meghan is a wonderful sitter! We were able to have a wonderful trip knowing that our kitties were well taken care of. She is great with communication and sending photos. I highly recommend Meghan as a sitter. We will use her again in the future!”

About: My love for animals started young when I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. I’ve cared for dogs and cats, trained my own pets, and I’m here to build lasting relationships you can trust. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m available anytime after 1 PM and happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I provide dog walking, in-home pet sitting, and drop-in visits. I’m attentive, detail-oriented, loving, and committed to treating every pet with the same care I would give my own. I also respect my clients’ homes and always leave things clean and tidy after each visit. I value a clean, safe, and respectful environment, and expect the same in return. I currently do not offer pet care in my own home.

About: I’ve fostered and owned pets since I was young. I have a lot of experience with young pets (including bottle fed), senior animals, and sick animals. I watch my friends and family’s pets frequently, and foster everything from kittens and puppies to senior dogs and cats! I’m currently a college student, so I will have plenty of time to come care for your pets! I can come before, between, after classes or all of those if needed! In your home, I will take care of your pets (feeding, walking, scooping litter, etc.) and make sure to give them some play time and love on them! I will also send pictures of your pet each time I visit :)

About: Friends, coworkers, and family members have trusted me with taking care of their pets over the years. Most of my formal experience with caring for other peoples pets came during and after college, however I was raised around pets (cats and dogs) and learned how to be safe and responsible with animals when I was very little. I am very comfortable with a variety of breeds and temperaments. I have a good understanding of basic commands and have trained two of my own dogs from puppies. I grew up around dogs and cats (we had three golden retrievers at one point!) and always looked forward to getting a dog of my own. There is something about the bond between owner and dog that is special and unique. I enjoy having this bond with my own dog but I also love meeting new animals and seeing their personalities come out as they get comfortable interacting. I have been exposed to many types of dogs at local dog parks and dog friendly restaurants or other locations. I am familiar with caring for dogs that take oral medication and/or have health problems such as limited sight or blindness. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about hiring me for dog walking, check-ins, or dog day care! I have one small child in the home, so any dogs staying with us during the day or overnight would need to be comfortable and well behaved enough to be around a young child. I wake up early and go to bed around 9pm/10pm. I have one dog in the home who is very friendly and well socialized. He takes little to no time to warm up to other dogs when introduced. Your dog will have plenty of space to be comfortable to chill and play! We enjoy spending time outside on nice days. When it is too hot or cold outside I make sure our pup gets playtime or enrichment toys/treats inside. I currently can offer dog walking services, daily check-ins for cats or dogs, and day/night boarding at our home (as long as your pet is a good and safe fit for a home with a small child). We have a large front and backyard with a carport/porch area. Plenty of space for playing fetch, having the zoomies, or chewing on a treat while getting some fresh air, rain or shine! If your dog requires being leashed/walked when going potty, there is plenty of space to take them around the yard as well as walkable streets near our house, and a park less than 2 minutes away. Our dog currently follows recall and commands to do his "business" but if we are caring for another dog we will leash them both or follow the owner's preferences and what they are comfortable with.

“Katie did a great job taking care of our dogs. She took the time to update us and take pictures giving us great peace of mind. Would be happy to have her watch our dogs again”

About: Since I was 12 years old I have been dog sitting at my home, dog walking, doing visits and assisting with South Charlotte Dog Rescue doing short term fosters. I have worked with dogs of all ages and have good experience with different needs and requirements. I am currently working part time and doing some fun projects. But I still have plenty of time for your pup. I am flexible on times and days just please communicate with me! I will provide safe, reliable dog walks and home visits while making sure your dog is happy and healthy. I will ensure pets have food, water, exercise, and attention, while keeping their environment calm and secure. I treat every pet and home with respect, patience, and care.

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life, and because of my close involvement with animals, I’ve always derived great joy from taking care of them. I would love to meet your animals and provide them whatever they need, whenever they need it. I am currently enrolled in Guilford Technical Community College and have a very open school schedule for whenever you would like to book. I’m flexible! :) I have a large, fenced in backyard and a nice cat-friendly home for them to walk into. Additionally, I strive to always care with a warm and welcoming demeanor.

About: I am a dog lover. I grew up with dogs and have one of my own his name is Apollo! He is a happy 2 year. Love taking him to the park on nice days and run around! I’m very friendly and very loving! I would take care of your baby the way I take care of my spoiled baby!! My puppy loves other dogs and loves to play. Any dog that comes to our home will have fun and be walked a lot and be given kisses and belly ruby. Since we do not have a yard we will be doing long walks through out the day and be given treats. I am friendly and loving person to all animals. I am available mostly nights and weeks. I work full time until 4. I am available most federal holidays as well with the type of work I do. I would come to your home to care for your baby so they are comfortable in their surroundings.i feel if your baby is in its familiar surrounding less stress it will feel.

About: I have worked in the pet industry for 11 years and counting. Ever since I started working at a vet I started pet sitting as well. Starting out for my coworkers and then for clients that came into my job with their pets. I love taking care of and being around animals of all kinds since I was a little girl. I love what I do! I am currently am employed full time at an emergency veterinary office and have a three year old son. I have no animals at this time, so my home is welcome for your fur babies :) Your baby would be well taken care of! They will get food, water, walks, bathroom breaks, and most importantly love! I do work full time but am home when I am not working so I would be able to hang out with your babies whenever I am not working. I can offer bathroom breaks every 2-4 hours when I’m not working, walks in the neighborhood, and plenty of love/attention. I have a three year old boy who love animals and knows how to play nicely and not be rough. I can also give oral medications if needed, I have experience with giving both liquid and pill form medications.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for most of my life. I adore all animals and look forward to loving and caring for your sweet pets. I am retired due to a health issue and I am fairly flexible with my schedule. Now that I have healed I am able to return to pet sitting for extra income. I’ll be happy to explain this further should there be any concerns on your part. I believe it is traumatic for pets when their people leave them, so it’s better for them to stay in home while you are away. I will come to your home and stay with your pets.

About: Reliable pet sitting with plenty of love, attention, exercise, and cuddles. Your pet's comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has a unique personality. Whether your companion needs energetic playtime or quiet companionship, I'll provide personalized care in a safe, loving environment. I'm currently working full-time but can schedule time with your pet after 5:00pm most weekdays and scheduled time on weekends based on availability. I'm also available to home sit for vacations, business trips, etc. When I pet sit in a client's home, my priority is providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment while maintaining the pet's normal routine. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I carefully follow the owner's instructions for feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and daily activities. I ensure pets have fresh water at all times, provide meals according to their dietary needs, and monitor their appetite and overall behavior for any signs of illness or distress. Dogs receive regular walks, bathroom breaks, exercise, and plenty of playtime, while cats and other pets receive enrichment, litter box or habitat cleaning, and affection based on their individual personalities and comfort levels. Safety is always a top priority. I keep doors, gates, and windows secure to prevent escapes, remove potential hazards from the pet's environment, supervise outdoor time, and follow any household rules regarding furniture, crates, or restricted areas. I also monitor pets for any changes in health or behavior and contact the owner immediately if I notice anything concerning. In the event of an emergency, I follow the owner's instructions and seek veterinary care if necessary. I treat every home with respect by keeping it clean and tidy, bringing in mail or packages if requested, watering plants, and leaving the home in the same condition as I found it. Throughout the stay, I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy, healthy, and well cared for. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home while giving owners peace of mind that their beloved companion is receiving attentive, reliable, and compassionate care.
