About: Hey there. I’m MizzRed and I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, senior pets, and even the little guys like salamanders, gerbils, and guinea pigs! Whether your pet needs belly rubs, playtime, patience, or extra care, I’ve got it covered. From energetic pups to wise old cats, I understand their needs and quirks. Your furry (or scaly) friend will be in loving, experienced hands! As a stay-at-home mom with kids in school most of the day, my daytime is wide open for your fur-babies! Whether your pet needs a midday walk, cuddle breaks, or playtime, I’m here to give them all the love and attention they deserve. With a flexible schedule and plenty of time for tail wags and belly rubs, your pet will feel right at home! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! In my home, they’ll get a cozy, loving environment with plenty of attention and care. I make sure every pet feels comfortable and secure, whether they need a quiet space to relax or lots of playtime. In your home, I respect your pet’s routine and ensure they feel safe while you’re away. I’m all about positive interactions, gentle handling, and keeping a watchful eye on every wag, purr, or zoomie! Trust me to treat your pet like family.
“Jasmine takes such great care of the girls. And gives great updates. Thank you for taking care of my pups and giving me peace of mind while traveling.”
“Anvesha was great! Right on time, communicative and so sweet with my dog. She was so friendly and he took to her immediately! She also sent the cutest pic!”

About: I have cared for family, friends, and neighbors' pets since childhood. I have experience walking, feeding, training, and giving lots of love to dogs and cats. I am responsible, communicative, and mindful of your pet's needs. I like to be active, so there can be lots of walks in your pet's future, but I also enjoy cuddling up on the couch if your pet prefers to lounge around. I work remotely and full-time, with fairly flexible hours (occasionally going into a coworking space when not pet-sitting). I am in Charlotte most weekends as well. I enjoy taking short breaks throughout the day to walk, play, or cuddle with any fur baby. I live in a townhome community with a green space and next to a neighborhood with great walking paths. Overall it is a very pet friendly area. I live in a three bedroom/three story townhome with room for your pet to stretch out and relax in a calm and peaceful environment. My unit is very well sound-proofed, with no excessive noise from neighbors or other pets. I am happy to send pictures of the green space and townhome upon request.
“Michelle has been a great help with my large and friendly dog! She’s been able to help in a pinch which gave such relief to get through my day at work! I’d recommend Michelle to help anytime!”
“Flexible and responsive dog walker. Saved me when I had the wrong address.”
About: Hi my name is Katelyn but I go by Nova! I’ve taken care of animals since I was around 8 years old and can’t imagine not having one with me. I now have just 2 cats and a bully mix. I’ve taken care of mainly herding mixes so I can safely say that dogs that are “a lot of dog “ are my specialty. Positive reinforcement based Training has also been a special interest of mine for a few years now and so I’m quite knowledgeable on that subject as well! I work full time pet sitting and dog walking! Because of this I’m pretty much always available to care for or walk your fur baby! I will care for your animals with the utmost care, responsibility, safety, and detail as if they were my own. I’m unable to provide boarding services at the moment but I still do pet sitting!
About: I had my baby for 10 and a half years and still miss him every day. I’m not ready to get another baby, but I’d love to provide trustworthy care for yours. I work from home, so I can do potty breaks and give medications as needed. Without any other pets or people in my home, I can provide all the needs of your dog(s). I work from home during the week, so I’ll be able to work around needed schedules. It is possible for me to be gone on certain days for 4-8 hours. I’ll do my best to take care of your baby / babies as you would. I had my 125 pound baby in an apartment, so I understand the need for multiple walks and finding places they can run. Pets are welcome on any furniture in my home.
“Rachel is amazing, great communication and always going the extra mile for my pets.”
“My dog Bella recently had surgery on her ACL and required additional care outside of regular walking. Ramon exceeded my expectations in ensuring that she got the care she needed while I was away on my birthday! He walked her slowly and encouraged her to used her back leg that was operated on and I could really tell a difference from when I left to when I returned. It is extremely difficult to leave your pet behind when going to vacation but he made me feel confident that I left her in the right hands!”
“Ashley took great care of my pup Rafi and always sent pictures. Her dog Remmie is the sweetest and got along great with my dog as well. Loved the pictures of them playing. Highly recommend trusting your dogs with Ashley!”
“Joanna is great! My dog is anxious and barks at first but Joanna was patient with her and my dog was able to calm down and enjoy the walk.”
“Madison treated my baby like one of her own and gave me amazing updates constantly. I will forsure continue to use Madison as my fur baby’s sitter whenever I need to go out of town again. Highly recommend!”
“My girly is medically complex and Lauren did not even bat an eye! Very thankful for her!”
“Breckyn was a lifesaver when I ended up in a pinch over a weekend. We were able to schedule a meet & greet super quickly, and she left thorough notes about each walk. She even pointed out an overgrown claw + sent pictures of my cats too. Really put me at ease! Thanks so much!”
About: I have owned larger breeds since I was a child. I have experience with feeding, grooming, walking ,and head or belly scratches and the occasionally a casual bum scratch. I have always had a dog in my home but this year we don’t have our dog anymore. So if your pet isn’t one that gets along with others that isn’t an issue. I also love cats as well rather they are homebound or wants to walk with me around the neighborhood. I work 4 days a week but the other 3 I can never seem to find anything to do worth leaving the house. After the gym this would occupy me and earn me a little more money. I do not have a yard however I do live in an apartment with many parks and trails to walk on. Though if your dog or cat already has a schedule I prefer to stick to that one. I am also not foreign to animals wanting to be on furniture which I have no problem with if they are CLEAN. I would love to snuggle with your little angel. If it is your home I would appreciate a list of things you’d like me to do and where to get the tools to do it and it’s that simple!
About: I have 2 cats, Spork and Kiwi, and 1 dog, Hamlet, that are all rescues. Since I’ve lived in Charlotte, I’ve cat sit for multiple different people in my apartment complex. My visits include lots of play time for the playful kitties, and cuddles for the ones who aren’t! I’ve administered pills, eye drops, and ointments. I currently work full-time and commute 45 minutes, so I’m looking for clients that need drop-in visits after 6pm. I’m available all weekdays and most weekends! All cats are different, so I make sure to adapt to your cat’s needs. Some cats need lots of playtime, while others prefer cuddles, while some prefer no interaction at all. I can clean litter boxes, food bowls, administer medicine, and ensure your kitty feels safe and taken care of.
“Carli is great with my dogs! My pups are both rescues in training and Carli does great walking them while understanding their unique personalities and triggers. She always gives them tons of love and makes sure they have everything they need before she leaves. My dogs love her and I totally trust her to handle whatever they throw at her.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Pet Whisperer! If my dog could talk, I’m 99% sure he’d be packing his bags and moving in with Shneila. I swear, he came back from his stay acting like he just got back from a luxury vacation—happy, relaxed, and maybe a little sassier. She sent me updates that made me laugh, like “Your dog just gave me side-eye because I didn’t throw the ball fast enough.” Clearly, she gets him. I never worried for a second because I knew my fur-baby was in loving, capable hands. 10/10 would book again—unless my dog decides he’s too good for me now”

Her care and attention to detail left me completely at ease while I was away. I highly recommend Kiohra for anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter or dog walker. She’s simply the best!”
