“If you're looking for a boarder who treats your pet as their own, look no further than Nathalie. She asked thoughtful questions ahead of the booking and provided many updates throughout the day so I could be assured that my dog was not only safe and cared for, but was also having the time of his life. I also felt like Nathalie's location, which is convenient for me personally, was also very conducive for stimulating walks. I'm so grateful to have been matched with Nathalie on this platform. Now, leaving town will not be as stressful knowing he is getting so much love and affection while I am away.”
“Zuzu seemed very happy with Rosemary. She was good about sending updates to me throughout the day which I appreciated. Will book again with her and highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
“Will definitely be calling Kristine again. My dog is very particular about his environment and can be a little high strung and nervous. Kristine and her Mom definitely let him settle in and gave him the time he needed to be comfortable. I'm always worried leaving him but I feel like I found a great option for when I do.”
“Claire was absolutely amazing with Mango! She took such wonderful care of him, and we loved getting all of the pictures and updates while we were away. It was so clear that Mango was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention. Claire made us feel completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. We couldn’t recommend her more and would absolutely love to have her watch Mango again!”
“Lauren was wonderful with my dog! I could tell he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands.”
“Tonya did a fantastic job with Marla! Appreciated the checkins and pics throughout her stay, would recommend and use Tonya again for sure. Thanks for taking good care of our Marla!”
“Colin was amazing. He took great care of my boy Jack and sent pictures to put me at ease. His dog Sully made a great buddy to keep my boy calm and comfortable.”
“Niedra was great! She was super responsive and frequently sent picture and video updates! She was also very accommodating with scheduling! Will definitely be booking her to keep Winston in the future!”
“Maria went above and beyond making our dog Zoey feel comfortable. We do not normally leave Zoey with a dog sitter so she is not used to being with someone new. Maria sent lots of message updates and pictures to let me know how Zoey was doing. I will definitely reach out to Maria again to care for Zoey. I highly recommend her!”
“Joselyn was great. She took lots of pictures, provided lots of updates on my pups and has a beautiful yard and close access to hiking paths and dog parks. My boys had so much fun! Thank you so much!”
“Such a great experience having Nicholas and Sara watch our golden collie, Abby. They are reliable, responsible and mature. They provided lots of updates and photos which certainly calmed this overprotective, (a bit OCD) dog mom! Great sitters! I highly recommend them!”
“Great new friends for Zulu to hang with!!! Their cool demeanor and willingness to take on an older puppers with seizure disorder left me knowing my best good buddy would be taken care of while we need to travel out of the country for work. I loved getting photos and videos while away. Will be back for more fun!!”
“Thank you so much for taking wonderful care of my babies while I was out of town! They had the best time with Anne and her family. 10/10 recommend. The cute photos were so sweet of you to send. Fur babies are in great hands with Anne :) thanks again!! My new go to whenever I need a sitter!”
“Hanaa was awesome and Iggy loved his time there! Everything was super easy and she was able to accommodate my crazy schedule. I will definitely be reaching back out when I have to head out of town again.”
“Stella was happy and had a great time staying with Audrey and Joshua. They took great care of her and I appreciated all the updates and pictures during her stay! We will definitely have them watch Stella again!”
“I’ve had Lora watch my six month old kitten twice now & she is absolutely amazing! She sends pictures and updates on what they are doing throughout the day which is so fun to see - Arthur definitely loves his time with her! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Christine & Andrew were excellent. Communication was clear and consistent throughout the stay, they followed our dog’s feeding schedule exactly, and they sent plenty of photo updates, which we really appreciated. Everything was handled with care and attention, and their pricing was very fair and competitive. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog with them and would absolutely book again.”
“Ms Susan is very thorough. She completes the checklist, and sends you photos during your furr baby stay. My Destiny is safe and loved each time she resides here.”
“I was a little nervous leaving Roxie with a new sitter. I had NO reason to worry! Ashley & Robert were amazing with Roxie! Excellent communication with daily updates and pictures. Roxie came home healthy, happy, & worn out from all the play time with Kodi. I will definitely book with them again!”
“Yevheniia was wonderful with our pug! From the beginning we had a meet and greet just to make sure it was a good fit and she was so sweet and accommodating and made sure our pug was comfortable even just for the short visit. Then for the actual stay of two nights, Yevheniia sent us pictures and regular detailed updates about how our pug was doing. When our pug was unsettled in her crate at night missing her parents, Yevheniia even took it upon herself to let her out and sleep with her at night to make sure she was comfortable! Yevheniia was very attentive and kind and knowledgeable about dogs, and she did very well with our pug's complicated eating routine and medications for her eyes and allergies. Yevheniia also has a beautiful pet friendly home with plenty of space and a back yard. We were so confident that Yevheniia was taking good care of our pug the whole time. Overall, I wish I could give more stars, what a great experience! We will definitely be booking with Yevheniia again! :)”

“Weiying was amazing, I especially appreciated her taking pictures after cleaning the litter box and filling up the water. I really appreciate her looking after our cats while we were away during the holidays!”
“Megan was absolutely incredible with our cat Seymour 🤍 From the moment she started her visits, she was attentive, thoughtful, and clearly very experienced with animals- esp cats as she has 2 of her own:) She sent the sweetest, most detailed updates after each visit, and the pictures she took were beyond adorable - truly some of the best I’ve ever seen of him! Even though Seymour can be a bit sassy at first when meeting new visitors, Megan handled it so kindly and patiently, giving him space but still showering him with love, pets, and playtime. She even made things more fun for him by hiding treats for him to find and kept up with his food routines perfectly. I felt so comfortable knowing he was in her care, and I really appreciated the communication and extra touches - she even brought in our packages! I’ll absolutely be booking with her again:) Thank you SO much Megan!”
“Samantha is reliable, trustworthy, and takes great care of Biscooti. Her updates and photos gives me real peace of mind while I am away. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve been a dog walker and pet sitter since March 2024. I have experience pet sitting for both cats and dogs. I’ve always had cats of my own so I’m very familiar with how to interact with them so they can be comfortable. I started doing this for a little extra cash & exercise when I’m not touring as a full-time stand up comedian. (It’s a real thing. I promise you never have to hear my jokes, but your cats might at some point during our visits.) If you need a weekday cat sitter, I’m your gal! You will also have ample notice for any time that I am traveling out of town for shows as my tours are booked the year prior.
“All of her pictures were super cute! She did great taking care of our two cats and was very receptive to my unnecessarily long information/to-do list 😂”
“Kaylee did an incredible job watching after my cats at home while I was away - she even got my shy girl Lilly to open up for some pets which is unheard of for someone new! Kaylee is responsive and great with communication, I wouldn’t hesitate to book again with her in the future!”
About: I take the time to learn their personality—whether they’re playful, shy, or a total cuddle bug—so they feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I’m experienced with kittens and can help reinforce good habits like litter box use and gentle play. I’m also very comfortable caring for senior cats, making sure they’re relaxed, sticking to feeding or medication routines, and getting the extra attention they need. I respect that cats do things on their own terms, so I move at their pace and build trust naturally. You’ll get regular updates and photos, so you always know how your cat is doing. My goal is a happy, stress-free experience—for both you and your cat 🐾
About: I’ve always been a huge animal person and have a dog of my own who is very much part of the family. I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet with someone else, so I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, loved, and well taken care of while you’re away. I’m happy to do walks, pop-ins, feeding, playtime, or just hang out with them and give them some company. I’m reliable, communicative, and will absolutely send you pictures because I’d want the same! work full-time during the week, but I’m available most afternoons and evenings for walks and drop-ins, with even more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to help with everything from a quick potty break and some playtime to a longer walk when your pup needs to get some energy out! Your pet’s safety and routine are always my priority. I’ll follow your feeding instructions closely, make sure fresh water is available, and keep walks safe and appropriate for your dog’s needs and energy level. I’m also big on communication, so you can expect updates and plenty of pictures while your pup is with me!
“Savannah was great! She took wonderful care of my cats, was very communicative, and kept me updated while I was away. I felt at ease knowing my cats were in good hands. I highly recommend her!”
“Ziyi is absolutely amazing! She takes care of our two corgis during the week while we’re in the office, and they absolutely adore her. She spends so much time with them during each visit and genuinely cares for them as if they were her own. From the very beginning, she was incredibly thorough during our meet-and-greet, which gave us complete confidence that she was the perfect fit for our pups. She is reliable, caring, communicative, and someone we fully trust with our dogs and our home. We are so grateful for everything she does and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care. Thank you for everything, Ziyi! ❤️🐾”
“I felt so good having Dominique in my home to check on Dorit! I can tell from the photos how much Dorit enjoyed Dominique as well (and she doesn’t enjoy just anybody) and loved that she got both stimulation and cuddle time. I hope we get to use her again in the future! 11/10!”
“Brittany was great with cha cha! It was our first time using her and she was so patient as cha cha got used to her. We really appreciated the constant communication and the videos and pictures along the way. Can’t wait to use Brittany again!”
“This is the second time my cat has stayed with Emily and her family. I can’t recommend them enough. They treat him as their own while he’s with them and send lots of pictures and updates so I know he’s okay. Will definitely have my cat stay with them again!”
About: I’ve had a cat of my own for the past three years and absolutely love being a cat mom! I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and giving plenty of attention and affection. I’m happy to follow your cat’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
“This was our first time leaving our boys with a sitter and we were so nervous but Chloe did an excellent job reassuring us + providing updates so we still felt like we were home with them! She sent photos, videos, and communicated with us throughout the booking; we will absolutely book with Chloe in the future if she’s available!”
“Noah was fantastic! Gave me great peace of mind that my pup was well taken care of. Plus Noah kept in great contact with me. I was especially impressed that Noah could handle my very hyper pup, Brewser, nd I loved the pictures of Brewser on his walks and also chilling on Noah's lap. Very impressed!”

“Christine and Andrew have been the best with taking care of Wilma weekly. They are sure to keep us updated and send pictures - they also make sure she gets plenty of toys :) Wilma looks forward to her time with them each week and it has been so seamless working with the both of them. I highly recommend working with them on pet sitting needs - they rock!”
“I was really nervous dropping Humphrey (8 months old) for daycare out of the house for the first time. When Humphrey first came in, he was ready to leave again, but a squeaky ball and some extra attention made him smile on the pictures we received. Today was very exciting for him, playing with Milo and the other daycare pup made him extra tired. We will use Keira again and are excited that Humphrey gets lots of playtime visiting with them.”
“Krystle was great with my last minute request. My pups came home happy and with a little treat! We wouldn't hesitate to book again when we are back in Charlotte. It was a great option for us to drop the dogs off before visiting Carowinds. She had a large backyard too for my dogs to lounge in the sun.”
“Max was very good with Rocco. He was attentive and sent updates during the day. It was clear that Rocco was comfortable and well cared for. We look forward to working with Max again in the future.”
About: I have done drop-by and overnight pet sitting in my home and in others homes since I was in high school. I now have my own townhouse and live here with my partner, Yuwsef, and we have a small fenced yard in south Charlotte and a 4-year old poodle named Stevie who loves to play and would love a buddy. We both wfh so are around a lot with the pups! We’d love to help you and your fur baby! I work hybrid and am wfh 3 days a week and my partner, Yuwsef, is fully wfh/remote. When we are home, we are usually around most of the day and would have the pups out as much as possible. My dog Stevie will also be here so we just ask you are okay with another friendly dog! I have a small fenced yard and live in a quiet townhome community. My pup would love to have a playful friend visit with her and she does great with other dogs - as long as they are friendly. We will do some playing and lounging based on your pups needs. My dog is crate trained and potty trained so I can accommodate one other pup loose and in bed with us or crated at night.
About: I have had experience caring for all types of dogs for the last 15 years through neighbors, friends, and roommates. My mother also assists with care, and loves the companion of the furry friends! We can watch a dog up to 20 lbs (Rover didn’t let me customize size)! My mother (retired) and I (just finished school) both watch the pets! We are available during most weekdays and weekends for boarding, and day care for the 4-legged friends! If you needed your pet to stay at my home, and they have their own crate for comfort, it will be appreciative to have it brought with them! They are welcome to roam free indoors as well, as there are no other pets in the home. I don’t have a fenced-in yard but do live in a neighborhood with access to the greenway for plentiful walks.
“Amazing Experience with Anthony! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Anthony was absolutely wonderful with my Shih Tzu, Gizzle, at doggie day camp yesterday! He was up bright and early and ready for Gizzle at drop-off. Throughout the day, he kept me updated with important information and sent me pictures of Gizzle. ❤️ Just by looking at the pictures, I could tell Gizzle was happy, comfortable, and being treated with great care. I truly appreciate Anthony’s communication and the love and attention he gave my fur baby. I would definitely recommend him and will be booking with him again! 🐶💕”
“Banner had another fun time at the Inn!! Mia takes such fabulous care of the pups. She sends pictures and videos throughout the day and all of the pups are having the best time playing! And the best part is that my very energetic puppy comes home exhausted. 10/10 would recommend and will be back. Thank you, Mia!”
“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: I have lots of experience with petsitting and have 2 dogs and a cat of my own. It’s so important to be able to have peace of mind when you’re away and I will be the person you can trust with your fur babies. I will stick directly to instructions given to me and will never fail to please a client. I look forward to meeting you in the future! I have a very open schedule, I would prefer not to work on the weekends but if needed I can do that for your family! In my home I have 2 dogs and one cat of my own. The dogs sleep in crates most night and are usually always in the house or outside. I try not to keep them crated during the day unless I am not at home.
“Jinetta was great! She sent frequent updates and pictures and was quick to respond to messages. She also followed the instructions for my anxious dog very well. I felt comfortable leaving my dog Murphy with her even though he can be a handful at times. Jinetta is kind with a great heart and you won’t regret trusting her!”
About: I have raised two dogs from puppyhood and handled their training and daily care myself. Kenzie came home at six weeks old, and my husky joined our family at eight weeks old. My experience includes house training, crate training, leash manners, basic commands, socialization, teaching tricks from the past with my pets and all the love and cuddles in the world with a mountain of toys. Friends and neighbors have also trusted me to help with their dogs, especially with common behaviors such as jumping, pulling, nervousness, and adjusting to new routines. I use a calm, patient, and consistent approach, and I never force a dog into an unfamiliar situation before they are comfortable. I am experienced with puppies, large dogs, senior dogs, cats, dogs that are not crate trained, and multi-pet households. I can also administer oral medications, follow specific feeding instructions, prepare meals, and maintain detailed routines. I am also a breast cancer survivor for any of my warriors out there, and when lost my beloved 12-year-old husky Sophie, caring for other companions felt like a meaningful way to honor her memory. With that being said, any special needs dogs, senior dogs that have any disabilities, seizures, cancer or any other needs, just know we have extra care items for your fur baby if needed. My friends often joke that my husband and I are “animal whisperers” because pets tend to feel comfortable and relaxed around us. I work from home working on my start-up business, so I am home all the time! This gives me plenty of flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I can accommodate regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, medication schedules, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. Because I am home most of the day, pets receive companionship and supervision rather than being left alone for long periods. I care for every pet according to their normal routine, personality, energy level, and comfort needs and special needs. My home offers a large backyard for supervised playtime, exercise, and fresh air. There is also a covered gazebo with a grassy area where dogs can relax, cool down, or take a quiet break when needed. There are also two cameras outside as well so I can always have eyes on them no matter what! I am currently transforming my garage into a fun indoor dog jungle gym, although that space is still under construction. For now, pets can enjoy the backyard, comfortable indoor areas, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all feeding, medication, walking, household, and safety instructions. I also provide photos and updates so pet parents can feel comfortable and confident while they are away.

Prices are estimates per walk. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I have always had a dog growing up but rescued my own dog, almost 7 years ago and trained him from 1 month old. The experience intensified my love for dogs and training them! I am used to going on walks, potty training, and feeding schedules as well as accommodating quirks (my guy can be weird so I get it lol). I work full time from home so as long as I have notice of when I am needed it should work seamlessly in my life. If pet sitting at your home I want to keep your dog as comfortable and on routine as possible. I am well versed in all sorts of quirks so just let me know and I can adapt to whatever your pet needs. I will be diligent about following instructions and will give lots of attention and affection while you are away.
About: I’ve been a dog walker and pet sitter since March 2024. I have experience walking all sizes of dogs from Bernese Mountain dogs to an 8 week old pug. I’ve worked with deaf dogs, a dog that was post-op for an ACL tear, and administered medicine if the pet required it. If you have a reactive dog, I may not be the best fit for you, and that’s okay! I have experience with dogs that are reactive to cars, but I prefer not to work with dogs who are reactive to other animals. I started doing this for a little extra cash & exercise when I’m not touring as a full-time stand up comedian. (It’s a real thing. I promise you never have to hear my jokes, but your dogs probably will at some point during our walks.) If you need a weekday dog walker, I’m your gal! You will also have ample notice for any time that I am traveling out of town for shows as my tours are booked the year prior. I had about 10 consistent weekly clients in Pittsburgh working with a business called Happy Tails, but I just moved to Charlotte so I’m looking for new clients! I’m available most weekdays. Weekends are tougher and will depend on my schedule from my full-time job, but I am open to weekends as long as I am in Charlotte. I am very serious about the comfort and safety of your pet. That means I will take the safest route possible (paved sidewalks with low traffic if possible), provide water, and clean up after them when they potty to keep your neighbors happy. I am happy to follow any guidelines you have for caring for your animal. I am also open to doing a trial period with your pet to make sure that we are a good fit for each other.
“Weiying is great! She has walked my dog many times now and is always responsive and prompt and even available on short notice a couple of occasions.My hesitant dog has really warmed up to her!”
“Super cool fellow. Was on time, walked and took care of my crazy pups without any issue. My furry babies loved him after knowing him for less than an hour. I will definitely work with him again.”
“Morgan has been great!! We asked for her help while i get acclimated to the day to day caring for our newborn and our dog since my husband has returned to work. She is always on time and is ready to go on a walk the moment she walks in the door. She’s no fuss, and her priority is getting the dog out the door right away. Our dog seems to love his walks because he has started waiting for her at the door/window for their walk in the morning. We get cute photos from every walk they take. If you need a reliable, pet loving walker, Morgan is a no brainer.”
“Cerys is awesome! I've booked her twice and will book her again for sure. From the second she met with us during the meet&greet, I could tell her and Diesel were bonded. She was receptive to all the information and "quirks" that Diesel has and worked with her. She didn't take the shortcut and just take Diesel to the park. She ran her as far as Diesel wanted to go. Diesel is so happy to see Cerys anytime she came by for a walk.”
About: As long as I have lived I have been surrounded by pets of all kinds. Namely cats and dogs, but also guinea pigs, ferrets, chinchillas, snakes, hamsters, fish, and others. Even since moving out I still regularly care for my friends and families pets. This has given me experience in taking care of pets in all stages of life, from newborns needing potty training to seniors needing medication. I work from home, and most of my work day is hands off letting some coding scripts run. So this gives me a lot of flexibility and time in my day that outside of some select meetings I can focus fully on your pet. If allowed to work in your space I can make any schedule of your pet's needs work. This allows me to always be available to your pet, and combined with my extensive experience in taking care of pets with specialty needs I feel confident in my ability to provide the best possible care.
About: I’ve had French Bulldogs my whole life and also fostered large dogs during college, so I’m comfortable with all breeds and temperaments. I’m calm, patient, and confident handling everything from stubborn walkers to energetic pups. My goal is to give your dog safe, fun, and enriching walks so they return home happy and relaxed. I work full-time from home, which gives me a flexible schedule—perfect for midday and afternoon walks! I’m available for dog walking during lunch hours and most weekdays after 2 p.m., and I’m happy to work with your routine. While I don’t offer boarding, I’ll treat your dog with the same love and care I give my own. I prioritize safety on every walk, pay attention to your dog’s cues, and will follow all instructions you provide. You can count on me to show up, communicate clearly, and care for your dog like family.

About: Hi, I’m Megan, a recent college graduate who just moved to Charlotte who loves spending time with animals. I work part-time and my hours aren’t consistent. I could be working morning, night or midday shift, but I am available for pet care before and after work, on weekends, and on holidays. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, as my family has always had dogs and my nana has also groomed them. I’ve had plenty of experience helping take care of them, from feeding and walking to playing with them and bathing them (even though it’s definitely not my favorite). Growing up around dogs has also taught me that every dog has their own personality and energy level, and that some need a little more patience and attention than others. I’ve also had a cat of my own for the past three years, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I genuinely love spending time with animals and would treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and care that I give my own. I’d be happy to keep them company, play with them, follow their normal routine, and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away! I currently work part-time, but my schedule changes from week to week, so my availability can vary. I’m happy to work with you ahead of time to make sure I’m available when your pets need me. I’m especially flexible for house sitting and can discuss specific dates and schedules with you! I’m not currently able to board pets in my own home, but I’m happy to provide house sitting in your home. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your pets’ routines as consistent as possible, and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away.
“Maria really goes above and beyond with communication, care, and cute photos!! She is a lifesaver and always makes sure my dog has everything she needs to be comfortable after her walks!! She’s also been super great with keeping consistency with walk training which is a huge help!”
“great communication & really appreciated her coming to meet my dog before their walk because she tends to be shy with strangers. definitely will be using Chloe again to take care of my babies!”
About: Lifelong Cat and Dog owner, with a year of 1 on 1 dog daycare enrichment specialist experience, looking to make a professional difference in the lives of other pet owners! In between careers, so I have pretty open availability. Prefer during the day, but can be flexible depending where needed. Prefer to work in daytime. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Unfortunately do not have a dedicated space for boarding as of yet. Hopefully in future.
About: Dogs have been the center of my life for over 16 years. My journey started with my two little terriers. A Yorkie and a Silky Terrier who quickly turned my love for animals into a lifelong passion and purpose. Over the years I became the person friends, family, and neighbors call when they find an animal in need. Whether it's helping rescue a neglected dog, connecting someone with a shelter, or stepping in to care for a pet, I’ve always felt a deep responsibility to advocate for animals who can’t speak for themselves. In August 2023 I lost my soul dog, Lola, and the grief was overwhelming. In her honor, I began volunteering at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Animal Shelter in October 2023. Helping the dogs there reminded me how much love I still had to give. Since then I’ve fostered dogs for the shelter as well as local rescues like Peanut’s Place Small Dog Rescue and FurBabies Animal Rescue. Every foster that has passed through my home has received my full heart and dedication, and seeing them find loving homes has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. In 2024 I foster-failed with my sweet girl Lacey, who reminded me so much of Lola and became a permanent part of my family. Caring for rescue dogs has given me experience with dogs of many breeds, temperaments, and ages, from shy and scared pups to energetic personalities who just need guidance and love. Dogs aren’t just pets to me, they are family. I treat every dog in my care the same way I treat my own. I am currently working part-time, so I am home most of the day. My schedule is flexible and can make myself available for walks and feedings morning midday afternoons and evenings as needed. Providing a safe, loving, and calm environment is always my top priority. I live in a townhome with a small fenced backyard, and our neighborhood is extremely dog-friendly. Many of my neighbors have dogs, so I’m constantly out walking my dog and foster pups making sure they get exercise, enrichment, and fresh air. When caring for dogs in my home or yours, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as much as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also understand that every dog has a unique personality and comfort level, so I always take the time to learn their needs and boundaries. Safety and trust are incredibly important to me. I pay close attention to body language, keep a clean and calm environment, and ensure dogs always feel secure and comfortable. My experience volunteering, fostering, and walking dogs has helped me become very attentive to changes in behavior, energy, and stress levels. Whether your dog needs a relaxing walk, overnight care, or just someone to keep them company while you're away, you can trust that they will receive patience, love, and attentive care. As a bonus, I am fluent in both English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate with even more pet parents in our community.

“Claire was absolutely amazing with Mango! She took such wonderful care of him, and we loved getting all of the pictures and updates while we were away.

“Yevheniia was wonderful with our pug! From the beginning we had a meet and greet just to make sure it was a good fit and she was so sweet and accommodating and made sure our pug was comfortable even just for the short visit. Then for the actual stay of two nights, Yevheniia sent us pictures and regular detailed updates about how our pug was doing. When our pug was unsettled in her crate at night missing her parents, Yevheniia even took it upon herself to let her out and sleep with her at night to make sure she was comfortable! Yevheniia was very attentive and kind and knowledgeable about dogs, and she did very well with our pug's complicated eating routine and medications for her eyes and allergies. Yevheniia also has a beautiful pet friendly home with plenty of space and a back yard. We were so confident that Yevheniia was taking good care of our pug the whole time. Overall, I wish I could give more stars, what a great experience! We will definitely be booking with Yevheniia again! :)”

“Rudy had a great time with Wesley. Wesley was attentive to his needs, kept him inside during the hot spell last weekend and short walks so he would't get overheated.
