Dog Sitting Troutman

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have personally trained my own dogs, giving me a strong understanding of canine behavior, obedience, and positive reinforcement techniques. As an Assistant Manager at a boarding facility, I gained experience safely handling dogs, administering oral and injectable medications, monitoring pets for signs of illness or distress, and ensuring their daily care and well-being. In addition to my professional experience, I have provided reliable pet sitting services, including dog walking and overnight care for pets that require feeding, medication, companionship, and supervision while their owners are away. I am patient, dependable, and committed to providing a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care. I also have three dogs of my own—a German Shepherd, a Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix, and a Dachshund mix—which further strengthens my daily experience and passion for animal care. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. With three dogs of my own, I’m used to structured schedules that include feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting them in theirs, I make sure they receive the time, exercise, companionship, and care they deserve. I plan my day around the pets in my care so they are never left without the attention they need, and I treat every animal as if they were a member of my own family. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I make sure every dog gets plenty of exercise through daily walks, extra potty breaks, and supervised outdoor time on a leash. I believe dogs deserve more than just being kenneled, so they spend lots of time out of their kennel enjoying playtime, attention, and affection throughout the day. I strive to keep their routine as close to home as possible, providing a safe, clean, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away

About: I’ve always had two or more animals in my home, so caring for pets has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve had our oldest dog since 2019, and my youngest dog since 2022, when we brought him home at just 10 weeks old. We also welcomed our cat in 2024 when he was 22 weeks old! We are pretty obsessed with them as you can probably tell 🐶🤎 I’ve pet sat for multiple families, friends, and relatives, and have even been recommended to extended family members. My pet-sitting experience has included feedings, walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel happy and comfortable while their people are away. I know how hard it is to leave your animals behind for, not only you but for them, so my goal is to make sure everyone feels comfortable, cared for, and happy! I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I got to care for and spend time with animals who were waiting for their forever homes. It gave me the opportunity to work with animals outside of my own home and learn how different each pet can be. I’ve also raised a puppy myself and have worked with many different breeds, ages, and personalities. I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and give them the patience, attention, and care they’re used to. They are our babies so we treat them as such!! The perks of being a stay at home wife is that I get to spend all day with my precious animals! What that means for you is that my availability is pretty open! Just shoot me a message and we should be able to make it work! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m coming to theirs! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone, and I want you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. For pets staying with me, I keep a calm, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where they can relax, play, and get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m currently home most of the time, so your pup won’t be spending their stay alone for long periods of time. I only host one guest dog at a time so I can give them plenty of individual attention. For walks and drop-in visits, I’m respectful of your home and your pet’s routine. I’ll follow your instructions, keep a close eye on your pet, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable throughout our time together. I’m also big on communication and will keep you updated with photos and little updates while you’re away. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m stopping by to care for them, my goal is the same: for them to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾🤎

About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember and have been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old! When I lived in Raleigh, I volunteered at the SPCA of Wake County for 7 years, where I walked, fed, played with, and cared for dogs of all kinds. This experience helped me become more knowledgeable about dog care and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m also a proud dog mom to two pups of my own, an Australian Shepherd and a Black Labrador, who I love more than anything! Over the years, I’ve pet-sat for many families and neighbors, including spending two summers caring for a neighbor’s dog and home while they traveled overseas. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone around to keep them company, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll treat your furry family member like one of my own! I’m currently working part-time, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I’m available for morning walks, daytime visits, and pet sitting as needed. My weekends are also open, so if you’re planning a long weekend getaway or need someone to care for your pup while you’re away, I’d be happy to help! I live right by a trail and park, which means plenty of opportunities for walks, runs, and outdoor adventures! My fiancé and I live in a house with a big backyard, and we’re both huge dog lovers. Your pup will have plenty of space to play, lots of attention, and all the love they deserve while they’re with us!

About: I have cared for dogs since I was about 12 years old. My entire family has been dog lovers since before I can even remember. I began caring for dogs as a hobby and eventually began to receive payment for it as people started to recommend me to their friends and family. I treat all animals with the love and respect they deserve, especially dogs. They are the sweetest, most loving features there are. Caring for your pet, makes him a part of my family. I will always put your pet first. Whoever said diamonds are a girls best friend, must have never had a dog because no one can understand you more than your pet who you have grown to love and adore.

“Brendan did two drop in visits for my two dogs and I have nothing but good things to say about our experience. He’s punctual, great communication, and follows all of my annoying instructions. He does well with both my senior dog and my younger anxious dog, leaving us with happy pups when we get home. We are booking him again for our week long vacation in August.”

About: Hi! I’m a 22-year-old dog lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have hands-on experience caring for my sister’s dog for about 2 years, and for 6 months consistently, I was his main caregiver after she moved out of state. During that time, I handled his everyday care, including feeding, walks, playtime, and giving him plenty of attention and love. That experience made me realize how much I enjoy taking care of dogs and how responsible I can be when someone is trusting me with their pet. I’m also used to taking care of my friends’ dogs, so I’m comfortable around different personalities and energy levels. I’m not a professional dog trainer or veterinarian, but I do have real-life experience, I’m dependable, attentive, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care I would give my own. I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel stressful, so I want you to feel confident knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I’m happy to keep you updated with pictures and messages while you’re away, and I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles. 🐾💗 I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! I’m currently studying real estate , so my flexible schedule allows me to give your adorable furry friend plenty of time, attention, love, and care! 🐾❤️ I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and supervised while I’m in their home. I’ll follow their normal routine, keep doors secure, and give them plenty of attention and care. I’ll also treat your home respectfully and communicate with you if anything comes up.

About: I am looking to make some extra income the best way, being around dogs and cats! I have 8 years of experience working in animal hospitals; first I started off as a kennel attendant caring for boarders and hospitalized patients and grew into becoming a full time veterinary technician. I have always treated animals as if they were my own, and continue to. I am enthusiastic and determined about any job I do, and this will be no different. I am always eager to help others and helping a pet is my dream. I am responsible, on time and find joy in building relationships with animals and building trust with owners. Please let me know if there is anymore information you would want to have about me! I am easy to accommodate with! I am happy to dedicate my time to you and your fur babies. I promise your pets will be in good hands. I am happy to accommodate as needed. I am happy to drive to dog parks or state parks for exercise, give car rides and socialize! Pet care fits into my routine easily, my schedule is flexible for drop ins, scheduled walks and/or overnight stays within a 1-10 mile radius of my home here in Mooresville. I am open to dog walks, taking your dog on a drive to the park or around the block. My goal is to continue your pets normal routine as best as I can.

About: I have worked with dogs since I was about 10 years old! My neighbor (in my previous neighborhood) taught me how to work with puppies, and I got to help train and keep her Schnauzer puppy named Greta! When my neighbor became terminally ill, we watched Greta for several months at my house before my neighbor passed away. My neighbor's husband let me still take care of Greta whenever he would go out of town or just to let us keep her in the house! A few years later, my family and I adopted our senior dog, Mikey! He was a 12-year-old Shetland Sheepdog with a lot of sass and energy! I loved Mikey to the utmost until he passed away at 16 years old. I have since moved to a new neighborhood and taken care of my neighbors' dogs (Coco (Miniature Schnauzer), Floofy (cat), Nala (a cat), Smokey (German Shepherd, Cleo (German Shepherd), and Aggie (Terrier)). I have also taken care of my dance teacher's dog, Gizmoe and my friend's cat (Tobi) while in college. I love dogs and cats, they are such sweet beings, and I would love to be able to take care of your fur baby! I currently have a princess job, but it is extremely flexible with when and where I work! I am able to schedule when I am unavailable for that job to be able to take care of a pet if needed! I go to church on Sunday mornings, so I try to keep Sundays to myself, but if needed I can do pet care on a Sunday! I am willing to negotiate and figure out availability for your animal's customized care! I follow instructions to a T! If there are specific things that your animal needs, I will make that my first priority when they are in my care! I am unable to bring animals into my home solely because of my mom requesting that I don't. I typically don't put the animals in their crate unless I have specific instructions to do so, I like to play with the animal and socialize with it, unless the owner tells me the animal doesn't require that. I am at your service, so if there is anything you need, please let me know! (:

“Shelley did an amazing job taking care of our Dog while we were away. I highly recommend her. She also documented everything and take pictures. We will be hiring her again.”
