Hannah was a fabulous sitter. She stayed overnight with our girl. Hannah was very communicative and let us know what was going on with our girl. She left us a sweet card and a toy for Kat. We will definitely be using her again

About: I’ve pet sit for family, friends, and neighbors for years (Up to 5-6 dogs at a time), I also have 3 dogs and a cat with my family, one of which is elderly. I’ve had experience caring for elderly dogs/cats on medication and puppies. I value high-quality service and transparency especially with our pets! I am a college student with a part time job, but with classes I’m very open in the mornings & available midday. Week day nights might vary but more details can/will be provided. Available at any time on weekends. I always try to build a relationship with the pets I am caring for, I also try to provide as many updates and send pictures possible for clients so they know their pet is being loved and spoiled. If there were ever a concern in terms of behavior or medical emergency, client can expect the most immediate communication.

Breana did a great job house sitting for our animals. The animals were well taken care of and she left our house neater than she found it. I also really appreciated the daily updates and photos she sent.

Nina was absolutely incredible. From the moment she showed up for the Meet & Greet, I could tell she had the right energy to handle my huskies as well as my cats. She was even able to get Rose, my shy cat, to come out of her shell! Nina communicated well throughout the entire visit, took great pictures, followed care instructions to a T, and even seemed to bond with my pets during her stay. I highly recommend Nina for anyone looking for a sitter.

FROM DEMI C.- We kept our fingers crossed and tried a pet sitter for the first time to stay at our home. During the initial Meet & Greet, when our usually timid-of-strangers feline fur babies came out on their own to see Dominique—I felt she was the right choice. Loved her attention to detail! Loved the free-flowing communication during the time we were away. I had complete peace of mind while we were on our beach vacation! FROM SHEILA C. - She's truly a cat whisperer. Very attentive, constant and frequent photos & updates on how our babies were doing. Also, very professional. We liked her immediately after the interview. We are now her clients! We plan to leave a generous tip.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have spent the last 9 years pet sitting for friends and family. I also worked in pet stores for a while, so I’ve cared for all animals. I’m a student over at UNCC, so I’m in the University City area pretty much 24/7. When I’m watching your pet, I treat them like my own. I’m super careful about making sure harnesses are secure on walks and staying on top of feeding times or meds. You’ll definitely get a ton of photo updates from me while you're away so you know they’re doing okay! I am currently on summer break so I am open to whenever you need me. I have a car so I am able to drive as well. I have plenty of experience with all animals. I have been pet sitting for years as well as worked at pet stores and handled pet care so I have experience with all types of animals.

About: My personal exposure to pets ranges from 3 large dogs to 2 cats of very different personalities! My sweet dog, Ruby, was adopted when she was 1 month old and has been my best friend for 11 years. She is a Heeler (high energy, I know!), which means I know the importance of attention and exercise for high energy animals. Since I have raised her from her little years, puppies are not a struggle for me! I know the importance of attention and careful care to ensure the little ones don't hurt themselves, others or destroy anything in their wake. My previous pets have lived long happy lives, with their senior years giving me amazing skills when caring for friends, family and other client's senior pets. Due to my personal experiences with a senior pet, I know the importance of their schedule and care. But also the fear felt by pet owners when leaving their sweet senior in the hands of a stranger. So regardless of if they are little babies, in the prime of their life or old and wise, I will take care of your pet like its my own till you return! I am currently a graduate student with a flexible schedule. Since I have open availability, what you need for your pet is my priority. I can do whatever your pet needs! I have stayed at clients homes previously, both after our initial visit as well as neighbors. Like my care with your pet, treating your space with only respect and care is my priority. Along with caring for your pet, I will take great care of your space regardless if I am staying there or just visiting during your time away. Also, if you have plants that need care... I am happy to see to them as well! I am a plant parent too!

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and respect I give every pet and home. I’ve been pet sitting and house sitting for several years, caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and routines. I genuinely love animals and take their wellbeing seriously — I’m attentive to changes in behavior, energy, or appetite and always prioritize their comfort and safety. I’m especially mindful of maintaining each pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, medications, or quiet companionship. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets and understand the patience and gentleness they require. I also take pride in being reliable, communicative, and treating every pet as if they were my own. My goal is for you to feel complete peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for with kindness, consistency, and genuine love while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine. I work primarily remote with reliable WiFi, but also must visit the office for only a couple of hours a day, 3 days per week. Working remotely allows me to provide consistent attention, walks, feedings, and companionship throughout the day. I also have a flexible part-time job with shifts up to four hours (up to five hours total including travel time). However, my schedule is adjustable, and I’m usually able to move or release shifts when needed — especially for pets who require more frequent care. I’m mindful of how long pets are left alone and plan my schedule carefully to prioritize their comfort and routine. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can remain in their familiar, comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate preferences, and any household rules — to keep things consistent and stress-free. Safety is always a priority. I’m attentive during walks, mindful of secure doors and gates, and careful about food, treats, and household hazards. I also pay close attention to behavior changes and will communicate promptly if anything seems unusual. I treat every home with the utmost respect — keeping spaces clean, tidy, and secure while you’re away. You can expect regular updates and photos so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and comfortable.

McAllen did an amazing job! A little background—he was our house sitter while we were away, and we honestly couldn’t be happier. We have two dogs and five cats, so it’s no small task, but he took great care of all of them. We came back to a clean house and, most importantly, happy animals. He wasn’t one of those sitters who just pops in to let them out and leave. He actually spent real time with them and stayed in the home for a couple of hours to keep them company, which we truly appreciated. You can tell he genuinely cares about the animals and the work he does. We’re very grateful for him and will definitely be rebooking in the future. Much appreciation all around!

Nina was absolutely incredible! We have three dogs that we love like children, and leaving them for two weeks was so scary. But not with Nina watching them! She was so communicative, punctual, and so so sweet! We got plenty of pictures and updates throughout our trip and came home to three happy pups. They say dogs have a great judge of character, and all three dogs loved her the second our meet and greet started. Even my slower to trust dog swooned immediately. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter, and the peace of mind we felt with her watching our dogs was priceless. Nina is the best!!

Olivia was absolutely amazing! She is extremely trustworthy and you can tell she cares a lot. She took great care of our animals while we were away for several days and made sure they got walks, play time, lots of love, and kept us updated with cute pictures. One of our dogs suffers from chronic ear allergies and has anxiety, so he can scratch himself sometimes but she made sure to apply his ear ointment and his ears were clear by the time we got home! We will definitely book her again, and I highly recommend her!
