Highly-rated overnight sitters - Piper Glen Estates
“This is the first time we have left our 13 year old rescue dog with someone outside of our family as she can be timid around new people. Katherine and her family were wonderful hosts, making her completely comfortable and feeling loved. Katherine communicated regularly with updates and photos. Our dog, Vera, was snuggling up with Katherine’s family and running around outside. Would definitely recommend!”
“We are so happy with picked Shalyn to watch our dog while we went out of the country for a week! She was so communicative, sent daily pictures, and gave our girl the best week with lots of outdoor time, fetch, and walks! I completely trusted her and already have her booked to watch Luna again in the future!”
“Heaven sent!! Christal (and her sweet kiddos) were a true blessing. My dog landed in the perfect home while we were vacationing. The communication was prompt, from the moment I requested her services (at 4AM), Christal answered and took in my puppy that same afternoon. He was well cared for, seemed happy with his daily walks and play time. I appreciate the photos I would receive throughout the day. I recommend Christal and will definitely reach out to her when I need a pet sitter. Christal: Thank you SO MUCH! Max sends his love to you and your family!”
“Lauren was wonderful. I got daily updates on our girl and that meant the world. I had to extend for a day and she was more than happy to accommodate my change in plans. Will definitely have her watch Rosie in the future.”
“Yevheniia and her family are AMAZING! I don’t need a sitter too often but when I do I have found my go to person! The love and attention given to Bruce was so wonderful and comforting. I could tell Bruce felt loved and safe.”
“Emme received excellent care with Anne; I enjoyed meeting her, and felt she was prepared and organized to take care of Emme. Her huge fenced yard is a plus. I look forward to Emme having another visit soon.”
“Viktoriia and her family took great care of our two Australian Shepherds. They are sweet dogs who are high energy and can be a handful at times. She was so great with them and they came home happy and healthy. She communicated well and was super responsive, sharing pictures and videos that put my mind at ease while we were away. I would definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a loving home to leave your fur baby. We would not hesitate to have her care for our pups in the future.”
“Our senior dog, Watson, has stayed with Molly and her family twice now and we LOVE working with her! She's a fantastic and responsive communicator who sends lots of pictures. Pick-up and drop-off have always been a breeze (even when we had a flight delay that set us a bit off schedule!). They do a great job giving Watson his medicine (daily pills and eye ointment). Most importantly, it is clear to us that Watson loves visiting Molly & her family! He always comes home to us happy and healthy, if a little tired from all the excitement. :-)”
“Kellie and Brian were so sweet and accommodating when a last minute business trip took me out of town with a days notice. They were flexible with drop off and pick up times, and helped me fly in and out as I had to catch my appointment. Memphis ran right up to the door when we got there, so I could tell he remembered and was comfortable to settle right in. Thanks again guys!”
“Liliana did an amazing job taking care of our pet while we were out of town. Our furry friend was calm and content at pickup, and we appreciate the extra love and attention she showed him.”
About: I grew up with dogs in my home since I was a child. I moved to Charlotte in 1999 and got my Jack Russell Terrier Norman and he was so loved he lived until 18 1/2! I thought I’d give it some time before I got another dog but we ended up getting Coco two weeks later and Enzo several months later. The humans in my household are me, my husband, Chris and my two teenage sons, Greyson (17) and Cayden (16). We all love dogs! I’ll be the only caregiver of your pet but just wanted to include who else is in our home. Thank you! I’m a stay at home mom so I’m home to give your dog the care he or she needs. My two dogs are very friendly and love to play! I worked for a veterinarian in college so I’ve been around many types of dogs and cats. At my house dogs are family. They are allowed on our furniture and sleep in our bed. We have a huge fenced in yard with a 6 foot privacy fence.
“Daniel is always so wonderful to work with. He communicates very well and sends a lot of updates! He puts our minds at ease when we are gone. I would recommend him to anyone!”
“Dana was very detailed about what to bring for his stay, which we really appreciated. She sent regular updates and pictures, which kept us reassured and informed about how he was doing. It meant a lot to see him settling in and making friends with the other dogs she was caring for. Overall, we felt very comfortable leaving him with her and would definitely recommend her.”
“We were really nervous about leaving our 6moths old puppy with Elizabeth and Kevin. But Ginny had so much fun, she might want to stay forever next time we drop her off! Elizabeth was sending us updates and cutest pictures and videos of Ginny having fun and living her life. She came home happy and exhausted! Thank you for taking care of her (and us!) so well!”
“Christine and her family were an incredibly lucky find on here when our usual sitters were booked. Christine was professional and communicated well from start to finish, and her and her family kept my dog busy and so spoiled. I didn’t have to worry about him for a second while we were away and came home to a very happy and well taken care of pup. We highly recommend and will be happy to rebook in the future!”
“Judith took amazing care of our Lava! We have now trusted Judith with our pup twice (once for a week when we were on vacation). If you are looking for a place that your pup can enjoy plenty of fenced in outdoor space with shade, other friendly dogs to play with, and caring caretakers—look no further!”
“Yisel is wonderful!! Took such great care of Lady!! Really does a great job of making your pet feel at home! Highly recommend!! We will definitely call her again! She is very kind and super responsive! Great experience for our family! ???”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am so happy with my experience. My dog came home very happy and I know he was well cared for with Alyssa. I will definitely use her again!”
“Maria was amazing with our one year old toy poodle Bruno for two weeks and we’re so grateful! She stayed on top of his whole routine, kept up with his eating and walk schedule perfectly, and somehow even got him to actually sleep in his new bed (which he usually wanders off from constantly!). She sent us updates, photos, and videos the whole time, which we loved and it made being away so much easier. Maria and her daughter were the sweetest with our little boy Bruno, you could tell he felt right at home and was totally spoiled with love. He came back happy and relaxed. We’d book her again without needing to think twice when we need support. Your dog or pup couldn’t be in better hands!”

“Kassie was a great pet sitter for my 2 kitties, one of whom is 17 years old and the other 20 months old. She was thorough in cleaning the litter, feeding them and providing playtime & cuddles! She provided timely updates & photos of each visit. Kassie truly loves animals and I would highly recommend her as a reliable, conscientious person to care for your pets.”
“Savannah provided reliable care for our cat. She was prompt, efficient and followed all of our instructions perfectly. Our cat was very responsive to her and we appreciated her caring, professional attitude.”
“Clarissa was so sweet and knowledgeable, and we were so at ease having our being our sitter! We have some kitties who can have some conflicts, so it was a big deal how comfy we were having her watch our kitties. She provided pictures every visit and was easy to get a hold of if needed!”
“Richa was wonderful! She took impeccable care of our cat Kiki while we were out of town for a week. Richa was fine with Kiki’s crazy feeding schedule. Kiki is normally not very social but she fell in love with Richa. She was so helpful and thorough and meticulous. we will definitely be having her help us again!”
“Penny was a wonderful sitter for our two (somehow both lazy and vocal) cats ❤️ We were out of the country for over a week but received detailed notes and great photos every day. We would hire Penny again in a heartbeat!”
“Grace did a fantastic job doing drop-in visits for our two cats while we were on vacation. She was respectful of our property, kept us up to date with daily reports and photos, and our babies were well groomed, cared for and content when we came home.”
“Bria took care of our 5 month kitten while we were away for the weekend, she was timely, communicated very well and kept us uptodate on everything. I highly recommend her and i am sure ill be contacting her again.”

“Regina was amazing !!! Regina, took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. They were punctual, followed all my instructions, and sent me daily photo updates that gave me peace of mind. My cat, who is usually shy, warmed up quickly to them—I could tell she was in good hands!”
“Lindsay goes above and beyond as a babysitter. This last trip my cat got sick so I was super worried, but Lindsay communicated with me so well and sent me a video of her doing better! My kitty loves Lindsay and I trust her completely, I have total peace of mind with Lindsay. We love you, thank you so much!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Piper Glen Estates
“My dog Pepsi went straight in with Mrs.Ann and didn't look back and didn't whine when I left. Mrs.Ann was nothing but fantastic and I would definitely recommend her services and will definitely let her watch Pepsi again next year during our Carowinds trips.”
“Katherine is amazing! We were so nervous to leave our very anxious dog for the first time and Katherine was very comforting and clearly had a ton of experience with dogs. We will most definitely be trusting her with our little doggy again :)”
“Joanna is wonderful! I usually feel nervous leaving Merida but I felt so comfortable and happy dropping her off at Joanna’s house. Merida enjoyed a lovely day with Joanna’s family; thankful for the photo updates I received. We look forward to visiting NC again soon and we know we have a great place for Merida to stay when we do another day trip!”
“Dropped our 2 dogs off for day care. They were well cared for and received plenty of attention. Liliana was very responsive to questions and flexible on the schedule change. Will definitely book again!”
About: I have always had a love for all dogs and want to pat every one I see! We had our own beautiful pup previously. As we don’t have a dog right now, I love to treat yours like family and make sure they feel safe, loved and neutered for while in my care. I can only have hypoallergenic dogs in my home right now but happy to do drop ins or walk any type of dog. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible and gives me more time to provide attention to your fur baby. For drop ins we have the ability to be flexible with time and for in boarding it means your dog will have people around a majority of the time. We allow pets to go where they feel comfortable whether it be the sofa, upstairs or to sleep in a bedroom. I will follow whatever feeding schedule you prefer and your preferences on where you would prefer they sleep. We have a fully fenced, large backyard for them to run, play and explore.

About: I am simply the biggest dog lover there is, there is something about them that makes me a better person. I have to say hi, pet and kiss every single dog I see anywhere. I've had dogs for more than 30 years and always cared for them as my babies. Taking care of someone else's dog gives me the chance to have another furry baby to spoil even if is just for a few days. I can appreciate that all of them have different personalities and needs and I do my best to treat them in such a way that they don't miss their family so much. I know they might be sad so I just do my best to make them feel at home. I work from home, I am very flexible to go visit your puppy early in the morning, lunch time and dinner time. If they are staying with me, they can have multiple outdoor activities. I big have a fenced yard and two super friendly Goldendoodles (boy 6 and girl 9) who are waiting to play and cuddle with your puppy.
“Genie loved Sarah’s home and the dogs. Sarah and kids took very good care of Genie, kept me updated on his walks and interactions with the other dogs and was very accommodating to our last minute changes. Would definitely recommend.”

“Jennifer and her dog Boomer were amazing!! They made my dog Lenny feel right at home! Boomer and Lenny played all afternoon in Jennifer’s beautiful fenced in back yard and Lenny slept great when he got home from a full day of fun! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for their dog to have a great day!!”

I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy in their owner’s absence. I have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care throughout the week.

I take time to build trust with each pet and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while their family is away.
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember and have many years of hands-on experience caring for them. Back home in Germany, I have two cats of my own, and I have also regularly cared for my friend’s small dog, including walking, playing, and looking after him. I am patient, gentle, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs. Whether it’s feeding, (walks), playtime, or simply giving comfort and company, I always make sure pets feel safe and well cared for. As an educator, I am very responsible, reliable, and organized. I bring a calm and structured approach, and I treat every pet with love and respect—as if they were my own. I am available for pet care during weekdays only. I can offer drop-in visits during the day and will make sure to be reliable and on time for every visit. I focus on providing calm, consistent care and making sure your pet feels comfortable and well looked after while you are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine and needs, and I make sure they feel calm and secure in their familiar environment.

“Jessica’s was wonderful I couldn’t recommend them more. She was very attentive to making sure my dog was happy and she sent many update pictures and videos throughout the stay. Thanks so much! I will definitely book with you next time I’m out of town.”
“My puppy had the best time with Jane and her dogs! They played so much and it’s exactly what he needed!! Jane was really communicative and trustworthy throughout the whole process! Thank you so much for taking care of my baby Cosmo, Jane!”
“I can't give enough praise to Diana for taking care of our two dogs, a German Shepherd and German Shorthaired Pointer. If you don't know, two pretty active dog breeds. Diana truly cares about your pets. She first asked if we would come for a meet and greet, which I think is a must for anyone considering leaving your pets with someone, even for a short period of time. Our meet and greet went great and Diana asked important questions about the care of our pets. Throughout the day, Diana kept us apprised and sent numerous photographs of our pets to give us assurance they were doing just fine. It really set us at ease and allowed us to enjoy our day at Disney World. While at Disney World, we knew we were not going to make it back at the designated pickup time. I informed Diana of this and she was so accommodating and was not upset at all. She wanted us to enjoy our time at Disney and didn't want us rushing back, so she kept our two dogs overnight; she was a lifesaver. If you ever need a passionate, caring, and understanding pet sitter, look no further than Diana. I am so glad I found her and will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you so much Diana.”
About: Your dog gets calm, attentive care in a real home, not a kennel, and not an overcrowded house. I’ve had animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, and farm animals, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments, energy levels, and needs, including senior dogs and those requiring medication. I’m home based and available throughout the day, which means consistent supervision, companionship, and exercise, whether that’s a relaxed neighborhood walk or a longer outing on the nearby greenway trail. I keep boarding low volume, typically one guest at a time, to maintain a calm, safe environment. I have a spacious fenced backyard and do a meet-and-greet before every booking to make sure it’s a good fit for your dog. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing. Reliability and clear communication aren’t extras, they’re just how I operate. I work part time from home, which leaves me with a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I’m home most of the day, allowing me to provide consistent walks, attention, and supervision. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, not as an afterthought, so your pet gets reliable, focused care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s needs, preferences, and any medical or behavioral considerations so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and low-stress. In your home, I respect your space and your pet’s established routine. I follow all care instructions closely including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any household preferences so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, supervised environment with a spacious backyard and access to a nearby greenway for walks. I keep boarding low-volume (typically one client at a time) to ensure each pet gets focused attention. Pets are never left unsupervised with my puppy, and I use slow, thoughtful introductions to make sure everyone is comfortable. I prioritize safety at all times, including secure leashing on walks, monitoring interactions, and maintaining a clean, hazard-free environment. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

I highly recommend working with them on pet sitting needs - they rock!”

“Thank you Jamie for everything. I appreciate you going above and beyond, especially you’re willingness to come over and help me get Myles into the vehicle when I had to take him to get groomed, and this was before you were scheduled to do his walks. I know he will miss you.”
“From our first meeting, Richa has been nothing but thoughtful and kind. It wasn't an easy decision to leave Maggie in the care of someone I didn't know, but Richa quickly made me feel at ease. Her communication and picture updates let me know that my pup is being well taken care of. Maggie and I are extremely thankful we found her! Cannot recommend enough!”
“Katherine was really wonderful. Arrived at the set times, walked and fed our little Bella. Thank you so much for doing such a fantastic job. We will definitely book you again and we recommend Katherine to anyone needing someone to look after their dog. Thank you.”
About: Over the years I’ve cared for dogs in one way or another such as pet sitting, check-in’s and in home day care. When caring for the dogs they have my full attention for play and exercise. I am currently dog walking and checking in part time during the day. If needed I am available on Saturday or Sunday with advance notice. I currently have two Boston Terriers between the age of 3 and 6. They are my furbabies. I’ve not met a dog I haven’t loved. I’ll bring that same attention while checking or walking yours.

I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels — from zoomies to couch potatoes. I work full time remotely, with slight travel on an annual basis. My schedule is pretty flexible! Perfect for early mornings, lunch, or afternoon care with weekend availability majority of the time! When I care for your pet in your home, I treat it like my own — with respect, cleanliness, and attention to detail. I know how important it is to keep your pet’s routine and environment consistent, so I follow your instructions carefully and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also send daily updates with pictures so you know everything’s going smoothly. My goal is to make sure your pets — and you — feel completely at ease.

About: Hi there! I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. I spent over 20 years as a professional horse trainer, which gave me tons of experience handling animals of all sizes and personalities. I’ve cared for everything from tiny lap dogs to high-energy working breeds — and I love them all! At one point, I had five dogs when I had the property for them to run and play, so I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and part of the family. These days, my two dogs are happy seniors who enjoy a luxurious retirement. Now that my kids are grown, I have plenty of time to give your dogs the attention, walks, and affection they deserve. I offer overnight boarding and day visits, and I have my own transportation, making drop-offs and pickups easy. Your pets will be treated like my own — with patience, care, and lots of love. 💛 I have extensive experience caring for pets of all sizes and breeds. I work full-time with a flexible schedule, and my job is very close to home, which allows me to come home for potty breaks and walks as needed during the day. I’m also available full weekends, giving pets plenty of companionship, playtime, and care when their owners are away. I prioritize a safe, loving, and structured environment, and I tailor walks, play, and rest to each pet’s individual needs. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets, whether in my home or at a client’s home. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I live on a golf course in a quiet, very walkable neighborhood, perfect for regular walks and outdoor play. My two friendly, well-socialized dogs enjoy meeting new companions, but I’m also able to keep pets separate if needed. I tailor each pet’s routine to their individual needs, including walks, playtime, meals, potty breaks, and plenty of attention.
About: My love for animals started when I was a kid, my mom still laughs about how I wanted to bring home every dog and cat we passed on the street 😅 When I was 13, my family got our first dog - a Labrador named Chelsea, who was my best friend for 12 years. That’s where I learned the real stuff: reading a dog’s energy, handling leash interactions with other dogs, sticking to feeding schedules and planning walks that actually fit the dog’s needs🥹 I now have my own miniature dachshund, so I know firsthand what it means to trust someone with your pet. I treat every dog like my own, with patience, attention and a whole lot of love 🐾 What you can expect from me: • I stick to your pet’s routine so they feel calm and safe, even when you’re away • I’m flexible with timing for walks, potty breaks, and feeding • I always send photo updates so you know your fur baby is doing great • I suggest a meet & greet before the first booking I work mostly from home, which means I have flexible availability throughout the day. I can easily adjust to your pet’s schedule, whether it’s a morning walk, a midday check-in or an afternoon potty break. When visiting a client’s home, I stick to the pet’s usual routine as much as possible, so they feel calm, comfortable and loved even when their parents are not around🫂 Also I’d love to know about your pet’s habits, likes and dislikes, feeding schedule, any dietary needs or meds, and how they like to play. If it’s a dog, I’d also love to know how they do with other dogs and people on walks, whether they prefer active or laid-back outings, and if they have a favorite route or love exploring new spots🥰
“Skylar is the best! She communicates with me about scheduling and to let me know how my dog is doing. I appreciate her so much and highly recommend her.”
About: Growing up surrounded by animals and currently sharing my 2 homes with three dogs and a cat. My house’s are full of different personalities and energy levels, which has taught me how to read an animal’s needs quickly and provide the right kind of care. I know that every animal is different. Whether you have a reactive dog who needs a calm, patient hand or a senior pet who needs a gentle approach and a medication routine, I’m ready to help. From the endless energy of puppies and kittens to the quiet companionship of older pets, I have the experience to make sure your best friend feels safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away. I’m currently a college student at ECU! I’m home for the summer and have a part time job but schedule is extremely flexible! At home, my pets are family, and their well-being is my top priority. I manage a busy household with three dogs and a cat, which has given me hands-on experience with a wide range of temperaments-from high-energy puppies to calm seniors and even reactive personalities. I take a structured yet affectionate approach to their care, focusing on: • Routine & Reliability: Maintaining consistent feeding schedules and a clean environment. • Mental & Physical Health: Ensuring everyone gets the right amount of exercise and play to stay happy. • Individualized Attention: I'm highly observant of their unique body language, making sure I provide space or engagement exactly when they need it.
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful! My puppy loved her. She responded back to me so fast and really gave me so many tips to get me through those first weeks of puppy life!”
About: Hi! I am a student and football player at Furman University. I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up around dogs of all sizes and personalities. Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them attention and comfort. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. I’m currently home for the month of May from college. I love being active and working out is a huge part of my daily life. Throughout the month I will sporadically be doing some shadowing in the Wealth Management space. My schedule is basically wide open and I plan to fill a lot of that time by caring for pets. I’m happy to walk your dog for as long as needed, and I also enjoy doing drop-in visits. I take pride in making sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and in good hands.

Your home and care were fabulous and it’s such a relief to me knowing she was in such caring and wonderful hands. Thank you again.”
About: I am simply the biggest dog lover there is, there is something about them that makes me a better person. I have to say hi, pet and kiss every single dog I see anywhere. I've had dogs for more than 30 years and always cared for them as my babies. Taking care of someone else's dog gives me the chance to have another furry baby to spoil even if is just for a few days. I can appreciate that all of them have different personalities and needs and I do my best to treat them in such a way that they don't miss their family so much. I know they might be sad so I just do my best to make them feel at home. I work from home, I am very flexible to go visit your puppy early in the morning, lunch time and dinner time. If they are staying with me, they can have multiple outdoor activities. I big have a fenced yard and two super friendly Goldendoodles (boy 6 and girl 9) who are waiting to play and cuddle with your puppy.
“Subhanwita and her family took such great care of our dogs! They were very happy when I picked them up and every detail of care instructions were followed. This involved extra care for our older dog who has a medication regimen and restrictions, and she was excellent about all of this. Meanwhile, our youngest dog has much more energy, and the daily walks she gave her made her relaxed and happy. I will definitely use her services again as the confidence we have in her made our vacation more relaxing!”
