“Nathalie was the best! We often worry about our pup while he is staying with a Rover when we travel but we knew through meeting her and the updates during a trip that he was having a great time. She took great care of our pup and was very responsive if we had questions. We would definitely recommend her for a safe and loving place to board your pup and hope to book with her again the next time we travel. Thanks Nathalie! 💜🐾”
“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.”
“Anne and her husband were most accommodating during our recent in home boarding. Their house is perfectly set up to cater to their canine guests! The huge fenced in back yard was perfect and they provided lots of updates. Exactly what we were looking for with our older dog and we look forward to booking with them in the future. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Susan took such good care of my pet Zoey. When I picked up zoey she was relaxed and well rested, which is exactly what we look for when we leave her. Susan makes sure Zoey eats as she is a picky eater and can go without eating for a day or 2. I feel comfortable leaving Zoey with Susan as I know she is well taken care of when we leave town.”
“20/10 Kristine was amazing and I really felt like she and her mom really loved on my dog and that’s a great feeling when you’re away. She’s definitely going to be my go to choice moving forward. I love that her mom and my Nala bonded in such a lovely way!! I am very happy with Kristine’s services.”
“Our Josie loves Lauren and her family... Lauren sends photos and keeps me updated on all the cute things our pup does. We miss our little girl when we drop her off, but we know she is in good and loving hands!”
“First time leaving our 6 month puppy. Cody did a great job taking care of him. He sent multiple pictures and videos a day. He kept us up to date what was going on with Jersey and adopting to the new environment. Absolutely had a fantastic experience”
“Colin was great to work with from the beginning of the booking process to the pick up. He answered all our questions promptly. We had a last minute change in pick up time which he was able to accommodate. We have an elderly dog, Colin was very mindful about making sure the walks that were too long. Fred looked very happy and content in the daily photos.”
“Alyssa and her husband did an awesome job with Marlowe! They truly listened to my instructions and made Marlowe feel comfortable! They took photos and kept me updated and showed just how my pup son was a happy camper!”
“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!”
“Lora was wonderful with our dog Scout. She sent timely updates and photos. She was also very accommodating with our pick up time change. We are very happy to be her return client.”
“Tonya and her husband were great with Baxter and Emmy! I got daily updates and pictures of them having fun and being loved which made us able to really enjoy our time away. I just wish they were closer to us so we could use them every time we need dog services. But I will absolutely book again next time we travel down South!”
“Great communication, could tell that they took care of my dog and were intentional! Would recommend them and would book again. I really don’t like leaving my dog but I had peace of mind knowing Luna was taken care of.”
“Erica was the best sitter! Her energetic pup Ember Mae and my old man Duke played in the large backyard and spent time with family and friends all weekend. Will definitely return!”
“Joshua and Audrey were really accommodating and did a great job watching my pup over the holidays. It was his first extended period of time away from me and they sent frequent photos and updates to help keep peace of mind that my little guy was doing okay. I highly recommend their care!”
“Lindsay was great! She was very thoughtful and sent us pictures of our golden retriever. She sent us daily updates. We were very lucky to find Lindsay to take care of our dog. I will highly recommend her pet sitter services.”
“Christine and Andrew were amazing. They responded quickly with booking and gave so many updates and allowed Mox to give lots of snuggles to their family! We will definitely be back for a visit soon! If you’re in the Charlotte area and need a great family to hang with your pup, they are perfect!”
“Our two pups did great with Katherine and her family. They got a lot of loving and were spoiled for sure. They even slept in way longer than they do at home, so you know they had a good time while there. We'll use Katherine again in the future, as everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves and Katherine kept us well informed complete with pictures.”
“I want to thank Christal from the bottom of heart for providing Jack with a great environment and lots of love and attention. We all know that when it comes to our pets, we want only the very best. Christal proved to be just that. I cannot wait to use her again.”

“Great first time rover experience. Linda followed all notes and gave great updates. she made an extra attempt to see my shy cat which I appreciate. Would book again”
“Lexie is amazing! She sent so many photos and took such good care of my cats - even caring for one of my cats who got a little sick. We would love for her to watch them again! :)”
About: Cats have always been my favorite because they require boundaries and respect. They were the first pets I ever grew up with and forever hold a special place in my heart. I have raised kittens and taken care of senior kitties, I enjoy lap cats and playing with hyper ones, cats with special diets or mobility issues I have taken care of them all.
“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 😂”
“Megan has cared for my cat twice now and he has loved her visits! She leaves detailed notes on how he’s doing and she sends the best photos which is so reassuring when I’m away since he is an older cat. Highly recommend using Megan as your next pet sitter!!!”
“Samantha was amazing with our kitties! She followed all instructions and left our space very tidy. Samantha also had great communication with us. Would definitely rebook in the future!”
“Savannah provided excellent care. She is always on time and gives attention to every detail of housesitting. Her compassionate care made our pet feel like extended family was there. Kay E.”
“Sophie took great care of my cats and respected their individual needs/personalities. Very flexible (thank you again) and super reliable. I didn’t have much service on my trip but I wasn’t worried at all! Highly recommend.”
“Shakoya was a fabulous sitter. It was my first time leaving my babies with someone I didn’t know and it went great. She was very friendly and communicative from day one. She showed up when she was supposed to and I came home to happy babies, food, water and a clean litter box.”
“Margaret was very attentive and cared for my cat Winston like he was her own. I appreciated her communication while I was out of town. It gave me peace of mind and I knew he was in good care!! Highly recommend.”
“Emily was amazing! She gave daily updates and sent pictures of my kitty. She was easy to get in touch with and responded very quickly to any questions I had. Most importantly, my cat seems to be very happy spending time with her. They took very good care of her and were very gentle with Cleo. I will definitely rebook with Emily.”
“Christine and Andrew are great! They are reliable and always go the extra mile when taking care of my babies. They even made sure the neighborhood cat Marmalade that I’ve been taking care of for the past nine years was fed and his food was taken inside in the evening so the raccoons would not get to it at night. I highly recommend them!”
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 🐾
“She took great care of my kitty! She was very accommodating when I picked her up late due to a flight delay. Also sent updates and pictures. I would definitely rebook”
“Love the photos and how Sarah cared for our kitties. Excellent responsiveness and great care was taken with our home while we were away. Thank you!!”

“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.”
“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for friends and family over the past few years. I also have a 5 y/o dog and grew up taking care of 2 dogs I work remote full time and am available before work, during lunches and right after work. I have a toy poodle mix and am always walking around the neighborhood I always offer fresh water for drops in and for walks. I also check to make sure all gates are closed before letting the dogs out.
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.
“Mia was great. She took care of my pups on a very short notice. She is very flexible and willing to make things work. She sent tons of pictures of their walks and play time. I will definitely bring my pups to the Inn for our future trips.”
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life , and have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of various ages, breeds and temperaments . Unfortunately my dog has passed away and I miss being around fur babies ! Looking for opportunities to be around them more. I work remote /at home full time so can ensure your pet will get lots of attention :). I have a one dog /one family at a time policy to ensure the comfort and safety of your pet for boarding . I work from home full time during the week and am home on weekends . My schedule allows me to get out for frequent and long walks. I live in a great neighborhood that is extremely dog friendly with lots of trees and open space that dogs love . It’s great for regular walks !
“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.”
About: I have two aussiedoodles at home with me. Kobe 5 and the youngest Brady 4. My youngest is autistic but it doesn’t slow him down one bit. I have two jobs so I am more available on the weekends but I’m more than happy to keep your pets overnight during the week day. I go in early so I can be home early with my boys. We have a dog park in my complex and we live right across the street from the greenway so we walk a lot when I am home.
“Thank you for taking great care of my little man!! He seemed like he was comfortable and enjoyed his time. I appreciated all of the pictures and updates through the day. He will definitely be back for daycare and boarding!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Thanks Arantxa for taking care of Rajah so well. He seems to have really enjoyed his day. Thanks for sending the pics and videos throughout the day. We will be back soon.”
About: I have hands-on experience with dogs at every stage of life, from training energetic puppies and reinforcing good habits, to providing patient, attentive care for senior dogs. I currently care for two dogs, a 7 year old labordoodle and a 3 year old golden doodle. I also have experience with senior dogs, which has given me a deep understanding of the extra compassion, attention, and adaptability older dogs need. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs—and I take the time to understand that. Whether it’s structured walks, consistent training reinforcement, or simply making sure your dog feels safe and loved while you’re away, I treat every dog like my own. I build my schedule around consistent time blocks each day, which allows me to provide reliable, attentive care while still being flexible for my clients’ needs. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or overnight stay, I make sure every dog gets dedicated, unrushed attention. I provide attentive, structured, and loving care whether pets are in my home or their own environment. My goal is always to keep their routine as consistent, safe, and stress-free as possible. In my home, dogs have access to a secure, fenced-in backyard where they can safely run and play. I regularly spend time outside with them playing fetch and letting them burn off energy, along with taking them on walks throughout the day. I currently have two dogs of my own, so any dog in my care benefits from social interaction, supervised play, and a comfortable, home-like environment. Inside, I make sure every dog has a calm, clean space to relax, with plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I follow each owner’s instructions closely when it comes to feeding schedules, crate routines, medications, and any specific needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. This includes walks, feeding, playtime, and reinforcing any training or habits they’re used to. I also make sure the home is respected and kept tidy, and I provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. Overall, I treat every pet like my own—making sure they are safe, exercised, mentally engaged, and genuinely cared for.
About: I've been around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets. Growing up, I helped care for our family dogs, a Golden Retriever named Miley, followed by Henry and a beagle terrier mix Tippy. I did feeding, walks, playtime, and daily care. I also had two guinea pigs, which taught me the importance of consistency and attention to detail when caring for pets. Over the years, I've also helped friends and family with pet sitting, feeding, walking, and checking in on their pets while they were away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members as if they were their own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a cat owner, I spend time each day feeding, playing with, and caring for my cat, as well as keeping her environment clean and comfortable. I also enjoy being active and getting outside, so dog walks fit easily into my schedule. I work remotely, which gives me flexibility and allows me to provide attentive care, check-ins, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner's instructions and routines. In a client's home, I make sure pets stay comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and lots of attention and affection. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter approach, I'm happy to adapt to their individual personality and needs.

“Linda is the best! My sweet girl was scheduled for a walk the night after having some diarrhea. She’d had an accident when Linda came, and Linda offered to clean it up! This was a big help to me as I wouldn’t be home for another few hours, and would hate for my pup to run around in it. Linda is a life saver, willing to go above and beyond!!”
About: If your pet loves treats, belly rubs, walks, playtime, or simply having a friend around, we’ll get along great! I’m passionate about animals and enjoy building trust with every pet I care for. My goal is to keep your pets happy, safe, and stress free while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I lost my best friend a little over a year ago, and while I’m not quite ready to welcome another into my home, caring for animals brings me so much joy. Spending time with your furry family members allows me to share the love I have for pets while providing them with the attention, care, and companionship they deserve while you are away. I am available from 5am- 9pm Monday - Friday. Saturdays and Sundays 7am-7pm. If other options are needed I am more than happy to discuss! Caring for your pet in your home consists of doing anything that your pets will need. I will treat your pet like it is my own.
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.
“Savannah has been absolutely wonderful with Seal! From the very beginning, she went above and beyond by scheduling a meet-and-greet to make sure it was a great fit and to learn all about Seal’s needs and routine. It was clear right away how thoughtful and attentive she is. Seal looks forward to their walks every day, and it’s been such a relief knowing she’s in such caring hands. Savannah is consistently punctual, incredibly communicative, and her Rover report cards are always detailed and reassuring. She’s also been very flexible with scheduling, which has been a huge help while I’ve been adjusting to a new job and navigating a new routine. Most importantly, Savannah treats Seal with so much care, attention, and affection—it truly shows in how happy Seal is after every walk. I’m so grateful we found her and would wholeheartedly recommend Savannah to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate dog walker!”
“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: 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: With over 15 years of hands-on animal care experience, I provide dependable, compassionate care for pets of all ages and needs. My background includes pet sitting, dog walking, puppy boarding, and working with elderly dogs and pets with medical or special needs. I am experienced in caring for animals with heart conditions, fluid retention in the lungs, mobility challenges, and other health issues, and I am comfortable administering medications and following detailed care routines. I also have experience with basic dog training and behavior support, helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. My availability for dog walks and drop-in visits is as follows: Monday–Thursday • 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM • 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM Friday • 7:30 AM – 9:00 AM • 4:30 PM – 9:00 PM Saturday & Sunday • Available all day I am also available for recurring weekly drop-in visits during these hours. I strive to be reliable, flexible, and accommodating to your pet’s routine and care needs. I treat every pet in my care like family and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I carefully follow each client’s instructions and routines to make sure their pet receives the best possible care, attention, exercise, and companionship. I also respect every client’s home as if it were my own, keeping things clean, secure, and well cared for at all times.
“Sarah and Dru were the best rovers I have ever seen. Super friendly, easy to communicate with, and EXTREMELY loving with my fur baby. Your dog is lucky if they get to have these folks take care of them.”
“Samantha was great! She arrived promptly and my dog really enjoyed spending time with her. She also provided great pics throughout the walk. 10/10 would recommend!”
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.
About: I have had my own dogs for 5 years. My two dogs are my heart! I raised my first pup from 2 months old, and our second dog we rescued when he was six months. I have the patience. I worked for a doggy daycare/boarding facility for 2 years, and I have a CPR training and certification. I have been dog sitting since highschool, I pet sit my friends dogs, cats, and even goats and chickens! I have administered medication (except needles). I love making friends with animals! I’m currently working from home, so I will have plenty of time to care for your pups. I will be able to walk, check in on, or come hang out with your pups mon-fri 8am-7pm. I will also have various overnights that I would be able to do with notice, as I do have 2 of my own dogs that need my attention! Weekends I’m available 8am-4pm I have two of my own dogs that work well with other pups if socialization is needed. My two pups are good company for all kinds of pups! I can go to anyone within range!
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.
“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!”
“I can tell Katie truly cares for my pup. She is on time, very responsive, and I look forward to the pictures and all that she writes in the report card. Thank you, you’re a blessing!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I bring to every pet. I take time to really understand their routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for—not just watched. I have experience with puppies and can help reinforce basics like potty training, leash walking, and positive behavior in a patient, encouraging way. I’m also great with senior pets, making sure they’re comfortable, sticking to routines or medications, and adjusting care to match their pace. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and I keep you in the loop with regular updates and photos so you always have peace of mind. At the end of the day, I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they’re happy, healthy, and well cared for. 🐾 As a disabled veteran, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available 24/7 and have the flexibility to give pets consistent, reliable care throughout the day and night. In my apartment: I create a calm, pet-friendly space where they can relax and feel at ease. I stick closely to their usual feeding schedule, walks, and sleep routine so nothing feels out of place. There’s plenty of supervised playtime, attention, and a safe area for rest. I keep things clean, structured, and low-stress so it really feels like a home away from home.
About: I have experience caring for older/disabled friends that may require special routines and assistance. I love animals of all species! Birds are some of my favs! I work full-time remotely which allows the best availability for frequent potty breaks and/or special care including 1:1 time. I also am a vanlifer so i am very mobile short and long term availability. I follow all pet parents instructions, ensuring the care and safety of our friends is the first priority. I have a pup and a cat if my own
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.

“First time leaving our 6 month puppy. Cody did a great job taking care of him. He sent multiple pictures and videos a day. He kept us up to date what was going on with Jersey and adopting to the new environment. Absolutely had a fantastic experience”
“Colin was great to work with from the beginning of the booking process to the pick up. He answered all our questions promptly. We had a last minute change in pick up time which he was able to accommodate. We have an elderly dog, Colin was very mindful about making sure the walks that were too long. Fred looked very happy and content in the daily photos.”
“Alyssa and her husband did an awesome job with Marlowe! They truly listened to my instructions and made Marlowe feel comfortable! They took photos and kept me updated and showed just how my pup son was a happy camper!”
“Tonya and her husband were great with Baxter and Emmy! I got daily updates and pictures of them having fun and being loved which made us able to really enjoy our time away. I just wish they were closer to us so we could use them every time we need dog services. But I will absolutely book again next time we travel down South!”
“Great communication, could tell that they took care of my dog and were intentional! Would recommend them and would book again. I really don’t like leaving my dog but I had peace of mind knowing Luna was taken care of.”
“Erica was the best sitter! Her energetic pup Ember Mae and my old man Duke played in the large backyard and spent time with family and friends all weekend. Will definitely return!”
“Lindsay was great! She was very thoughtful and sent us pictures of our golden retriever. She sent us daily updates. We were very lucky to find Lindsay to take care of our dog. I will highly recommend her pet sitter services.”
“Christine and Andrew were amazing. They responded quickly with booking and gave so many updates and allowed Mox to give lots of snuggles to their family! We will definitely be back for a visit soon! If you’re in the Charlotte area and need a great family to hang with your pup, they are perfect!”
“Karina and her husband were great sitters! Very responsive and communicative, and they sent plenty of photos to keep us updated on how our dog's stay was going!”
“Celeste is the best. I had an unexpected delayed flight, and thankfully, Celeste was able to watch my dog longer than I had planned. I was updated regularly with pictures while on vacation that made my day. I knew my dog was in safe hands so I could enjoy my vacation. I definitely will use Celeste again.”
“Our first week long trip away (and an accepted extra day :)! Adger had the best time hanging out with Kody and Kali and of course loved all the loving from Ashley and Robert. The pictures and updates each morning and evening kept us feeling like he was on vacation too. He loves his second family!! Ashley and Robert has made such a difference in our planning (and lives) - giving us a bit of freedom, but most of all knowing that Adger has as much fun as we do while we're away. But mostly, we sooo appreciate that he feels loved, is safe, and is well cared for in every way.”
“Yevheniia is amazing. My dog is on the needy side & I was really nervous about leaving him. Yevheniia made me feel so at ease & comfortable. She treated Luka like family, letting him on the couch & giving him lots of love. She sent daily updates & pictures which I really appreciated. Thank you so much!”
“We had a great experience with Vassa! She made sure to play with our dog every day, which we really appreciated. We also loved receiving lots of pictures and updates of Raya, it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Her dog, Chase, got along really well with Raya, and it was clear they had a great time together. Raya came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. We would definitely book with Vassa again!”
“Sydney and Derek were amazing. They were super responsive during the booking process, and sent lots of photos and updates during our pups’ stay with them. We will continue to book with them in the future and highly recommend that everyone else needing dog sitting services does the same!”
“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!”
“Florence was very patient and caring when watching Kolby. She sent plenty updates and reassured me that he was adjusting to a new environment pretty well. Will definitely be booking with her 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. Rudy just started on some new medicine which Wes was able to give him with no problems. He is a great communicator via texts, sent several pictures and would definitely use him again.”
