Personalized care for your dog or cat - Providence Crossing
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Providence Crossing
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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. :-)”
“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!”
“Kris was so kind and welcoming to our Golden Retriever Leo! We appreciated the updates and photos & seeing him have so much fun on all of the land. Leo didn’t even want to leave when we picked him up!”
“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.”
“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.
“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!”
“Sarah was truly wonderful with our energetic Great Dane, and we will definitely be using her again. Our boy can be excitable and somewhat anxious, which didn’t seem to phase her at all. After sensing my own anxiety about leaving him somewhere new, she checked in frequently while we were away to let me know he was doing great. It was clear from the pictures and videos that our boy was getting lots of love and attention from the entire family, which made our vacation all the more enjoyable. She even took the initiative to wrap his leg when he begun licking at a sore. I would highly recommend Sarah.”
“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!”
“Albina and her family were wonderful with our two dogs. She was able to accommodate us fairly last minute and sent so many updates and photos which was really appreciated! Would highly recommend”
“As our first Rover experience, we felt we really hit the jackpot! Carol was so friendly and kind, and genuinely excited to spend a few days with our dog Milo. She didn’t blink an eye when Milo was unexpectedly prescribed medications he needed to be on during his stay with her. Milo was happy and tired when we picked him up. I couldn’t recommend Carol more!”
“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!”

“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
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 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.

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.

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!”
“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!”
“Mia was the absolute best! I am always so nervous leaving my cat and hoping that the sitter will be warm and loving and she was this and so much more! He was in such a good mood when I returned home. She took lots of pictures and gave great updates. Would absolutely recommend and would 100 percent ask her to watch him again. Thank you Mia!”

I will happily send frequent photos and updates to give you complete peace of mind while you are away!

“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: 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.
“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.”
About: My family has been pet sitting for years. Our own dogs have crossed the rainbow bridge and we’re not really in a position to add to our family because of my kids’ travel sports, but I still need my dog fix! I love dogs of all types - big, small, feisty and full of energy or relaxed cuddle bugs. In my home, your dog will be treated like family! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I’m an early riser and love to get my steps in, so if your fur baby likes to be up and at ‘em, that works for me! I have a fenced yard, a husband and two teenagers who adore dogs, and no other animals except for my daughter’s hermit crab. We have three stories and keep a minimalist home.

About: I have eight years of professional pet-sitting experience and a lifetime of loving animals! My passion started early—my first word was actually "Bam," the name of my first dog. I launched my sitting business eight years ago by caring for a senior Basset Hound named Baxter. Senior care taught me the tough lessons right away (like cleaning up lots of pee!), so you can rest assured that very little phases me when it comes to keeping your pets clean and comfortable. I’m currently home from University, and waiting to hear back from a few retail jobs I applied for. I’ve got a lot of free time on my hands, so, as of right now, I can petsit or walk your dog at almost any time of day! While I can’t keep pets in my parents home, I’m entirely willing to take your furbaby out for lots of play time, and leave every place like it should be… Even if the mess wasn’t mine.
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🥰
“Cam was communicative, reliable, and just had a great energy with my pup. I always come home from work happy to know Cam was taking great care of Rizza in my absence. Thanks Cam! Looking forward to continuing with ya :)”
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.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for years and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to adapt to each dog’s unique needs, for example, helping energetic dogs burn off energy through long walks/playing in the backyard and attentive care for senior dogs who might need a little more assistance! I’m comfortable administering oral medications, working with puppies on basic manners, and walking dogs that pull on leash. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care! As a college student home for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with your pets! Since I am currently not working another job, I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and feeding. I can accommodate most schedules, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and last-minute bookings whenever possible. My goal is to provide reliable care and make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I do have a secure, fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and exercise. I also have dogs of my own of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, which has given me a lot of experience caring for many different personalities and needs. I carefully introduce dogs when appropriate, monitor all interactions, and can separate pets if needed to make sure everyone is comfortable and safe. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special requests to make sure your pet feels happy and safe while in my care!

“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Kris was so kind and welcoming to our Golden Retriever Leo! We appreciated the updates and photos & seeing him have so much fun on all of the land. Leo didn’t even want to leave when we picked him up!”

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.
“They took care of my pup very well while we were out of town for a few days. They have such a cozy home that I know my furry friend absolutely loved! They took my dog on several walks and gave her such love and care. They were very pleasant people and I look forward to using them again soon”
“Mara and her family are amazing! Our pup has such a good time! I highly recommend them! She was quick to respond and was extremely accommodating for pick up and drop off times!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Thank you Tina!!!!!! So glad I found you on Rover! Delilah had a wonderful few days in your home. I appreciated the photos and pics while I was away. Delilah didn’t miss a beat when she returned home today so this is how I know she loved being with you! 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.”
“We loved Haley & her family. My dog did too. She was very easy to work with and sent a lot of updates & pictures, which I really appreciated. We will definitely be boarding with her again!”
“Wow…Sabina took excellent care of my dog and provided a safe, clean, and loving environment. Communication was great throughout the stay, with regular updates and photos that gave me peace of mind. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious they genuinely love animals and treat them like family. I will definitely use Sabina again and I highly recommend her to other pet owners.”
“Joanna is very friendly and dependable, and I would highly recommend her! Both Hudson and Zoey had a great time staying with Sunny, too! She is also a great communicator. I received texts and pictures while we were gone, updating me on their activities and how they were doing, especially since this was Zoey's first time staying with a sitter.”
