“Sheila was truly amazing taking care of Layla! From the very beginning, she was kind, attentive, and treated Layla like her own. She sent photos and updates that kept my mind at ease while I was on vacation, which meant so much to me. Layla seemed super happy being with her, and it was clear she was well cared for the entire time. Sheila is reliable, communicative, and truly goes above and beyond. I’m so grateful for her and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you so much for watching Astro. Very communicative and polite. She sent pictures daily and updates, which was much appreciated. She even went out of her way to help with an unexpected ear issue. Would highly recommend.”
“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!”
“Albina is a great sitter. Very responsive. She has a fenced in backyard and our lab loves playing with her lab in the backyard. She will keep you updated on your pet with pictures and videos. Her kids loved on my dog.”
“This was our first time using Rover and first time boarding our dog in the year we've had him. Jessica made everything very easy, and her interactions and conversations during our initial meet and greet made us very comfortable choosing her. She was very responsive before and during the boarding (even before booking) and sent cute pictures even during the Christmas holiday when she had him. Absolutely zero issues all the way through. Very happy to have someone nearby we can trust to leave him with in the future.”
“My 5yr old schnauzer mix is a nervous but super friendly girl. She has spent two weeks stays with Katherine and her husband and has come home comfortable and relaxed both times. Thank you, thank you for your care!”
“I can't express how much I appreciated you agreeing to sit for Cody with just two-hours notice. My mom had another stroke and his usual sitter wasn't available. So, taking on me and my dog "sight unseen", was a major "step up" on your part., and something only a true dog lover and great person would do. And on top of that, your place is a "Dog Hilton", so Cody and I felt truly blessed. Thank you again for doing me and Cody a Major Solid.”
“Aunt Dana is the best. Knows and taught me a lot on training my puppy. My dog obviously loves her The puppy had no accidents in the 4 days she kept her ,a record!”
“Lauren was truly exceptional! I was pretty nervous about leaving my 13-year-old dog with someone new while we were out of town, but she immediately put my mind at ease. She went above and beyond in every way and completely exceeded our expectations. Lauren provided frequent, thoughtful updates that reassured us our dog was happy and comfortable. It was clear she made a genuine effort to create a calm, loving, home-like environment for Leila, which meant so much to us. You can tell Lauren genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and her attention to detail and compassion really stand out. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and kind sitter. We’re so grateful for her and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”
“I really appreciate the great help Daniel provides me when he sits for Mikey. He sends me text messages and pictures multiple times a day, and he has a great relationship with my Golden Retriever Mikey. Daniel is fantastic, and I would highly recommend him.”
“Annie is the best! She is very thoughtful in her messages and small surprises for Atticus and our family. I know she truly cares about Atticus and that he is well taken care of while we are away!”
“Anne has a wonderful home full of love, including her sweet dog Jasper. My dog was very happy and well taken care of, and Anne went above and beyond the normal procedures to make my life better.”
“Tara was Great. She met with me before his stay to get to know her. By the time I left he felt a ease. She sent updates each day which put me at ease. Would highly recommend Tara. Would definitely use again. I highly recommend”
“Thank you for taking great care of Echo! Your beautiful back yard and endless toys were exactly what she needed. And the pics you sent me helped me while I was away from her. Looking forward to her hanging with her new friends again soon! Thank you bunches!!”
“Summer took very good care of George, my dog, when we were away for vacation. She kept me updated regularly and communication was very open. George looked so happy under her care. I highly recommend Summer for your pet boarding needs.”
“Wynde was an absolute joy to work with. She welcomed our anxious girl with open arms and made her feel so comfortable. Wynde sent pictures daily and updated us on things Rosie did with them. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Amy sent several pictures and updates throughout Olive's stay and was very responsive. I felt very comfortable that Olive was taken care of and would definitely use them again.”

“Elsie will be our first go-to anytime we need a sitter. She kept up our routine even though I told her some things are a little OCD and weren't necessary. She showed up precisely at the time we agreed upon and replied to messages instantly. We wanted to extend our vacation an extra day if possible and she easily accommodated. She really does have a special connection with animals. Through recommendation, we choose her to take care of our "ghost Kitty". We told Elsie the food would disappear and the litter would get used, but don't expect to see the cat. Amazingly, in 3 days, Elsie saw her twice! That's more than we see her in a week! She took excellent care of our fur baby, who must agree since she made an appearance ?? Thank you Elsie”
“Thank you Alyssa My cats felt comfortable with her right away and absolutely adore her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter”
“Daizsha took great care of our cats while we were gone over the holidays. Clearly a very kind and thoughtful person, I would recommend her! She stayed in touch and communicated well, and interacted with the girls a lot. We really appreciate her.”
“Andy is always nice and sincere. He gets along with my shy cats.They recognize him and lets Andy pet them and brush them. He has been a lifesaver when I need to go out of town.”
About: Rescue cats have always been close to my heart—I’ve been around them for more than half of my life. Due to my husband’s allergies, we can’t have cats in our home, but I always take every opportunity to spend time with the kitties of friends and neighbors. I would be delighted to care for your cat, whether that means playtime, cuddles, mealtime, or simply respecting their space if they prefer privacy. My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels comfortable, safe, and has everything they need while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Growing up we always had dogs/cats/fish. I am very active and love going on walks/runs. I'd be happy to have your pup tag along. I am familiar with puppies all the way to hospice senior dogs. More recently, we had to let our 14.5 years old bulldog go due to kidney failure. I am experienced in routines, meds, special harnesses, & subcutaneous fluid IVs. I work part-time from my home office. Your pet will always have me around for their specific needs, whether that is random cuddles, potty training, or special routines. I currently don't have any pets as we lost our dog Kinley in January. I live in a 3-story townhome with a minimal yard with no fence - but plenty of common areas and leashed walking space.
About: I've been caring for pets of all sizes since I was a kid — dogs, cats, bearded dragons, and fish. I have two dogs of my own and have pet sat for neighbors, friends, and family for years, handling everything from energetic puppies to calm seniors. I'm comfortable with all breeds and sizes, and I always treat every pet like my own. This summer I'm dedicated to pet care and have a flexible schedule built around your needs. I also babysit, so I do have some bookings to work around — but I’m great at coordinating and will always make sure your pet gets consistent, reliable care. Mornings, afternoons, and evenings are generally available. Just message me, and we’ll find what works! I always visit your pet in your own home so they stay comfortable in their familiar space. I follow your routines closely — feeding schedules, medications, quirks, and all. I'm detail-oriented by nature (I'm a pharmacy student!), and you can count on me to send updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and safe.
About: I have spent years taking care of my friend’s cats, and I understand how to be patient and let each individual cat come to me when they feel comfortable. Some want to play and some want their space. No matter what you need, we will take great care of your furry friend!
About: I have well over 30 years of cat care experience. This is my specialty. I’ve cared for kittens as young as six weeks and cats as old at 20+ years. I’ve given all kinds of meds and cared for special needs cats. Cats are my jam! I’ve been a cat parent for over 30 years and have cat sit for a ton of kitties.
About: Years ago, my mother and I owned a boarding kennel and I was a professional groomer. Now I am semi-retired and loving spending time with furry friends! I am familiar with all breeds and love them all! We have always had a pet in our home and would love to provide care while you have to be away. I currently work outside the home for a partial day on Mondays. Other than errands and appointments, I am home all day to interact with your fur baby! Should an emergency come up, I am available. All our furry guests are treated like family. We have a large fenced in yard with no steps for the older fur babies. We own a cat that pretty much keeps to herself. We are good with pets of all ages and understand they all need different levels of care. We are empty nesters, so have the time and energy to keep up with any needs your pet may have. With the exception of Mondays, someone is home all day to provide personal care and supervision for your pet. Mondays Alice works outside the home for a partial day and pets would need to be left alone for 4-6 hours, or she would need to be able to bring your pet (only one) to work with her. Both Alice and Don love animals and provide a nurturing and loving environment for your pet in their home with regular potty breaks in their fenced in back yard.

“Elsie is absolutely amazing, this is the second time she’s watched our puppy. We love her. She’s very flexible, very communicative and understanding. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter!! Thank you!!”
“We had Bella stay with Elizabeth and her husband for a day camp today and this was soooo much better than going to one of those chain doggy daycares! Can’t wait for us to use them again!”
About: I am a total dog lover! My husband and I rescued our dog Roscoe almost 6 years ago. He is one of the most spoiled dogs I know and is a huge mama’s boy. We enjoy hiking together, and going on walks and for runs along the local greenways in Charlotte and in the neighborhood. He enjoys having other dogs to play with and we pet sit for a few friends and neighbors when they go on vacation, having their dog come and spend time in our home. They always get excited when I pick them up and go home tired from all our walks and outdoor play in our fenced in yard. I send pictures and updates daily. We love spending time playing with other dogs, especially Roscoe! I’m a special education teacher and my husband works in the restaurant business, so he’s home most days and I’m home after school and evenings. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly, playful dog to keep your fur baby active. We are happy to crate your dog when we are not here/at night if this is what they’re used to. Otherwise, we block the stairs off when we need to leave with Roscoe upstairs and your pet downstairs.
“Our fur baby Shiloh is a very shy girl especially with new people but Brittany was very responsive when I asked for updates sending pics and video which really helped to put us at ease.”
About: My family loves to run around and play games with furry friends, and there’s always time to snuggle up on the couch. I only take one dog at a time, which allows me to offer focused care to your pet. I have taken care of family and friends’ pets for over 20 years, and would love to help out your family! I am a teacher, and have very flexible summer hours. I can accommodate whatever you need during June-August. During the school, year I am available every afternoon after 3pm. I have a fenced-in backyard in a neighborhood with lots of walking paths. I do not have any pets of my own, so we can devote all of our attention to your furry friend!
“Alicia & Don are a sweet and very nice couple. They took care of my sweet boy and he was very happy. They keep me update and sent me pics of my boy. I am so happy o was able to find a nice family to take care of my boy when I need it.”
About: We are both big animal lovers and have been taking care of our own pets since we were kids. We moved to Indian Trail from Denver, CO in 2025 and would love to get to know pets in the area! We currently have Cleo, a calico kitty who is a sassy princess, and Georgie, a shepherd mix puppy who LOVES making new friends. Erica has always begged friends and family to pet sit for them, and we would love to extend that joy and love to your furry family members as well! Teddy has never met an animal he didn’t like 😸 Our last dog Zeke was an extremely anxious boy for the 13 years we had him, so we have plenty of experience comforting anxious pets. Teddy previously worked at an emergency vet/kennel business, and has a lot of experience with all kinds of dog breeds and animal behaviors. We both have experience with oral and topical medication administration, and Teddy has injection experience. We would love to welcome your pet into our family and treat them as our own ♥️ Teddy works remotely and Erica is currently thriving as a stay-at-home puppy/kitty mom, so we are always home and someone will always be attentive to your pets. Occasionally one of us may be out of town during a booking request, but we will communicate that to you prior to booking in case you prefer two people. We have a fenced backyard for safe playtime and easy bathroom access. Your animals are welcome to sleep wherever they want in the house- we don’t mind dogs on the bed, couch, or in their crate if that’s where they’re most comfortable! We have several water stations throughout the house that get changed every day. We have plenty of cozy rooms in the house, so your pet can have alone time if needed. Our neighborhood is quiet and walkable.
About: I grew up with pets and have always had dogs and cats in my home, so caring for animals comes very naturally to me. I’m a proud cat mom and also have a friendly, playful 2-year-old Labrador who loves being around other dogs. I work from home for a few hours in the morning, so I’m home all day and able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I live in a house with a big fenced yard, providing a safe space for pets to play and feel comfortable. I also have two young children, so it’s important to me that pets are friendly and comfortable around kids. My kids are gentle and used to being around animals, and I always supervise interactions to make sure everyone is safe and happy. I treat every pet like part of the family and always follow their routine to help them feel at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine.

I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for all pets in my care. I live in a house with a fenced yard, which allows pets to play and explore safely under supervision.

I introduce pets slowly and carefully to my own dog and always supervise interactions to ensure everyone gets along safely. I also have two children, and I make sure that any pets in my home are comfortable around kids. All interactions are supervised to keep both pets and children safe and happy.
“Sheila was awesome with my dog Walter. She was very patient and eager to learn about him and his quirks. She was very patient and gave Walter time to acclimate to the environment slowly. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pup!!”
“Georgia has been enjoying spending two days a week at Alyssa and Spencer’s while her mom works. Alyssa and Spencer are great with Georgia and make her feel right at home from the moment she gets inside. We are so grateful to have found this wonderful alternative to larger doggy day cares for Georgia. Georgia doesn’t give too many details on all that she does while she is at Alyssa and Spencer’s, but on the mornings we go to their house, she can’t wait to get in the car and get there.”
“Dropped our 2 dogs off for day care. They were well cared for and received plenty of attention. Liliana was very responsive to questions and flexible on the schedule change. Will definitely book again!”

Friends, family, and neighbors have always relied on me to walk, feed, board, and love their pets as if they were my own. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and my commitment to giving each pet a tailored experience.

“I can’t say enough good things about Tania! She responded to my last-minute request and was incredibly accommodating. She even took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand, which immediately put me and my 12-year-old pup at ease. Tania was patient, kind, and clearly has a natural love for animals. She took her on a nice long walk and gave her all the care and attention she needed. It’s rare to find someone so reputable, reliable, and genuinely compassionate.

About: I have had a passion since I was little. Started with volunteering at animal shelters, ended up training abused rescues. Wanted an easy job that involves my passion of helping and understanding animals. I do have part time work for a couple places including the school system. But I have more than enough time to take in extra animal care. I do have a fenced yard but we have a current dog with behavior issues. I always use a leash and maintain cleanliness and safety at others homes!
About: **PLEASE READ MY ENTIRE BIO** Welcome to my dog boarding service! As a dedicated pet caregiver, I believe that respect is at the heart of everything I do. It’s essential not only for the well-being of your furry friends but also for fostering a positive environment during their stay. I treat every dog with kindness and understanding, ensuring they feel safe and loved while away from home. In return, I appreciate the trust and respect from pet owners, as we work together to create the best experience for your beloved companion. Let's make their time with me a happy and respectful adventure! As a dedicated caregiver, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for every furry guest. To ensure the best experience for the dogs in my care, I maintain a strict policy of not allowing visitors into my home during boarding. This policy is in place for several reasons: 1. **Safety and Comfort**: A new environment can be overwhelming for dogs. By minimizing outside interactions, I help them feel secure and at ease, allowing them to adjust more quickly. 2. **Focused Attention**: Each dog deserves my undivided attention. Limiting visitors helps me provide the care, training, and companionship that each dog needs during their stay. 3. **Health Protection**: Maintaining a visitor-free space reduces the risk of introducing illnesses or parasites that could affect the dogs in my care and my own pets. 4. **Controlled Environment**: Keeping the home visitor-free allows me to maintain a secure environment, preventing any potential escapes or accidents. 5. **Clear Boundaries**: Establishing a no-visitor policy helps reinforce boundaries for the dogs, aiding in their understanding of the household rules. I am committed to offering a loving and nurturing space for your dogs, ensuring they feel at home while you’re away. Thank you for understanding my policies as we work together to provide the best experience for your furry family members! **Please understand that if you’re looking for boarding and you’re wanting your dog to be the only dog. I do not offer that because I always have more than one dog.** I am fully available. I have set schedules for each dog that I am sitting based off of there needs from their parents. We take a few daily walks and playtime to keep them occupied and help with any separation anxiety or general anxiety. I feed them also based off of the at home schedule as well. I care for all pets like they are my own. I tailor to their needs and wants. I stick to any specifics that pet parents give me so there fur baby is as comfortable as possible.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs ever since i was little. Family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to watch their pets for them while they are away I am now doing this for a living so I’m available all the time for your fur babies. I am always willing to be available for your fur baby needs. I will follow all your instructions when caring for your furry companions. If there are any questions that i have, i will not hesitate to reach out and ask them
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Growing up with six family dogs, I gained experience with all kinds of personalities, ages, and needs. Recently, I helped care for three of my senior dogs through their later years, teaching me the importance of patience and attentiveness. I’ve been dog sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since elementary school and have been caring for pets through Rover since high school. I also have volunteer experience with animal shelters and am comfortable with dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Dogs truly feel like family to me, and I treat every pet I care for with the same love and attention I would give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule while studying for my North Carolina real estate license, so I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays on YOUR schedule. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I recently graduated and am focused on studying for my real estate exam right now, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m more than happy to accommodate to your dog’s regular routine. I will not be able to bring dogs into my residence but will gladly take care of your pets in the comfort of their own home and outdoor spaces.
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life, primarily large dogs up until end of life, as well as cats in the last 6 years. I’ve got extensive experience with these guys, and my love for these animals runs deep! I’m currently self-employed, so my schedule is very flexible for visiting or playing with your pets! The best times to schedule me are between 8am and 8pm, but I am open to other hours with planning in advance. :) I have a screened in yard, as well as 2 crates for small dogs and cats, comfy beds, and toys for them to play with! I also have treats and a dedicated space within my home for them to relax in.

“Thank you so much for watching Astro. Very communicative and polite. She sent pictures daily and updates, which was much appreciated. She even went out of her way to help with an unexpected ear issue. Would highly recommend.”
“Albina is a great sitter. Very responsive. She has a fenced in backyard and our lab loves playing with her lab in the backyard. She will keep you updated on your pet with pictures and videos. Her kids loved on my dog.”
“This was our first time using Rover and first time boarding our dog in the year we've had him. Jessica made everything very easy, and her interactions and conversations during our initial meet and greet made us very comfortable choosing her. She was very responsive before and during the boarding (even before booking) and sent cute pictures even during the Christmas holiday when she had him. Absolutely zero issues all the way through. Very happy to have someone nearby we can trust to leave him with in the future.”
“I can't express how much I appreciated you agreeing to sit for Cody with just two-hours notice. My mom had another stroke and his usual sitter wasn't available. So, taking on me and my dog "sight unseen", was a major "step up" on your part., and something only a true dog lover and great person would do. And on top of that, your place is a "Dog Hilton", so Cody and I felt truly blessed. Thank you again for doing me and Cody a Major Solid.”
“I really appreciate the great help Daniel provides me when he sits for Mikey. He sends me text messages and pictures multiple times a day, and he has a great relationship with my Golden Retriever Mikey. Daniel is fantastic, and I would highly recommend him.”
“Thank you for taking great care of Echo! Your beautiful back yard and endless toys were exactly what she needed. And the pics you sent me helped me while I was away from her. Looking forward to her hanging with her new friends again soon! Thank you bunches!!”

“Amy sent several pictures and updates throughout Olive's stay and was very responsive. I felt very comfortable that Olive was taken care of and would definitely use them again.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch my dog, Moura, for five days. They always had someone at home, gave her constant attention, and treated her like part of their family. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”
“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!”

She really took care to follow any specific instructions we left and she truly made them feel at home and made us feel so comfortable leaving- especially with our elderly dog. If we could use Deb every time, we absolutely would!”
“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!”
“Tina was absolutely fabulous with our sweet Duchess! When we picked Duchess up it was like Duchess had spent the weekend with a lifelong friend as they connected so quickly. Tina’s communication, friendliness, and professionalism makes her an excellent choice for caring for your fur babies while you’re out of town.”
