“Sheyla was absolutely FANTASTIC! She went above and beyond in every way for taking care of my fur baby, Roxie. Not only did she take great care of Rox across nearly two weeks...she also spent her own money to buy my baby girl a toy and some extra treats. It's rare that you find someone that loves your pup like you do and takes care of them as well as you do. For that reason, you should DEFINITELY book with Sheyla if you get the chance. I wouldn't be surprised if her prices go up before long, because she did a great job and other people are going to be exceptionally pleased with her service. Would definitely book again! 11/10!”
“So sweet and great with my two mini schnauzers. Took them out for a quick bathroom break, gave them treats, and even gave them a couple scratches to comfort them! Definitely recommend!”
“Dennise was fantastic. She was incredibly understanding, communicative, and willing to go above and beyond to ensure my dog was properly cared for. She made an extra trip when needed, kept me informed every step of the way, and showed genuine care and professionalism throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Abigail was absolutely amazing while caring for our dog, Prince! We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands during our time away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. What really stood out was her consistent communication—she sent us regular updates, along with pictures and messages that gave us peace of mind and let us see how happy and well cared for Prince was. It made being away so much easier. Prince seemed comfortable, relaxed, and well-loved when we returned, which speaks volumes about the care Abigail provided. We are so grateful for her dedication and thoughtfulness. We would highly recommend Abigail to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter—we will definitely be booking her again!”
“I can't say enough good things about Bree! Leaving my cat is always stressful, especially since she needs medication twice a day. But Bree was absolutely amazing. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease. While I was away, Bree sent me regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Piper's well-being. More importantly, she administered Piper's medication perfectly, without any issues. I highly recommend bree to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced cat sitter. She went above and beyond, and I will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Rachel was amazing with our boy Titan! She took good care of him, gave him lots of love and kept me up to date on how he was doing. Will definitely hire again!”
“Elizabeth is a real life saver. We had gone out of town and left our pets with a sitter, but the sitter wasn’t able to give our elder cat our heart medicine. We reached out to Elizabeth and she was able to go and give the medicine without any issues and spent some time with our pets to make sure they weren’t lonely while our sitter was in school. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future when we go out of town!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have pet sat for multiple family members and family friends over the years. I currently attend UNCC and am looking for some extra experience!! I work part-time so I will have plenty of time to hang out with some furry friends! I would love to take some friends on fun adventures! I would do everything I am told, exactly as I am told. When it comes to pets I understand that they are like family and need to be treated as so!
“Stevie Ray connected almost immediately with Sarah, and that something that leaves me at peace knowing my pet was in very good hands. Loved all the pictures with the check ins, Thank you very much!”
“I loved and appreciated Paige’s updates throughout her visits to my cats, and loved her energy when we first met. I know she gave my girls lots of attention and look forward to working with her again!”
“Lexi was great with Barkley! She is very caring and attentive and Barkley loves her. Lexi was also very responsive to owner feedback. I will definitely use her again.”
“Destiny did a wonderful job taking care of my cat, Steve. She sent a number of pictures and even hung out with Steve for far longer than she was expected to. Steve had an excellent time and I will absolutely be working with Destiny again.”
About: Hi, I'm Katie! I have a 2 year old Australian Shepherd Mix who is just about the friendliest dog you could meet and you love to have friends come stay the night! I have a backyard your pooch can romp around in and a trail just outside our back gate if they love to take walks! Ryker has wayyy too many toys and is willing to share them! I am home throughout the day. Your furbaby is my top priority and they will be so loved while you are gone. I have had pets for the majority of my life, took care of friend's pets while they were away, and even worked at a kennel a few years ago, so I have plenty of care-taking experience!
About: I have been dog sitting since I have been in middle school taking care of many neighbors dogs and cats. I’ve worked with dogs in photography shoots and have experience dog sitting and walking. Although I am not a professional, I have trained my dog to walk without pulling and off leash. I have experience in training and I am great at tiring dogs out to give them a good nights rest. I am currently an environmental engineering student at UNC Charlotte so availability can vary. I am generally free after 2pm for walks every day other than Sunday. Your pets wellbeing is my absolute priority and i will do the most to bring the best possible care. I have leash trained my dog to stop pulling and to walk calmly around other people and other dogs. I have a ton of experience with larger dogs that weigh in at about 60-80 lbs.
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!

Nikita is always soooo through with her report cards and I get at minimum 25 pictures of my fur babies which I love! She’s does everything including scooping the litter box, food, water, and lots of playtime. She’s is always my number 1 requested sitter and fits me in last minute if she can.
Abygail was so dependable and communicative! From the beginning of our correspondence, I felt comfortable with her coming into our home and taking care of our sweet, gentle, and slightly-anxious dog. My booking request was submitted barely a week in advance, and she was able to accommodate. I would certainly recommend Abygail!!
Summer is amazing! She accepted a very very last minute request for my 2 cats and they loved her. My younger boy needs medication and is very shy. Summer was so patient and gained his trust to be able to administer his meds safely. I highly recommend Summer and will definitely be booking her again.
Dru was absolutely wonderful with our cats. She arrived on time or early for every visit and provided incredibly detailed notes and updates each time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Her genuine care and attention to both of our cats was clear from the start, and it was obvious she took the time to understand their personalities and routines. We loved receiving her updates and came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. We would gladly book with Dru again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and attentive pet sitter.
Sage took wonderful care of Lina while I was away, visiting twice daily and sending thoughtful photo updates that gave me real peace of mind. It was clear Lina felt comfortable and happy with Sage, which meant so much to me. I look forward to booking with Sage again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring
I can’t say enough about how well she did with my two cats while I was out of the country! She gave me very detailed reports along with pictures to show all was well. She gave extra effort to making sure that my fur babies were happy and safe. I have one cat that previous sitters have never seen but came out while she visited. I think animal instincts tell you a lot! I will definitely have her back in the future and recommend her to anyone that wants their furry family well taken care of!
