“Schooner had to stay one more day due to flight cancellation, it was super easy to do and Leslie was so nice about it I felt very at ease adding an additional day.”
“My Maltese partner is one of the great joys of my life. The fact that I've entrusted her to Kathy multiple times says it all. Kathy obviously cares about animals in her charge. I will rebook and will recommend her to others.”
“Kayla accepted Lola on a last minute request due to an emergency. She was very communicative and provided a lot of updates and pictures daily about Lola’s adjustment period, feeding, and play time. Lola genuinely seemed happy to be there and interact with the other fur friends throughout her stay. I highly recommend Kayla and will definitely use her services again!”
“This was the second time Dana kept our pup and it went super well! We got plenty of pictures and updates while we were away. Our dog even got bonus treats when Dana learned her birthday was coming up 😊 We will definitely use her again when we need a pet sitter.”
“Let me start off saying that we usually have family members watch our dog when we travel. We were quite nervous having someone else watch him. Norma put us at ease. She sent us pictures daily and a summary of how he did. Rocky made new friends while staying at Norma’s house. We will be using in the future. Rocky had a great time with her!”
“London and her family were incredible. The constant updates and photos completely eased my mind while I was away from Luna; you could tell she was in excellent hands. They’re such a kind, attentive family who truly go above and beyond for the dogs in their care. Sending her home with a goody bag full of her favorite treats was such a thoughtful touch. I can’t recommend them enough.”
“Dennise was absolutely the BEST! She made my fur baby feel right at home while I was out of the country for a week. She even kept her for a few days of doggy daycare before my trip, which helped them bond and gave me so much peace of mind. She sent frequent updates and lots of pictures, which really eased my anxiety about being away for so long. I honestly think my dog thinks this is her second home! I highly recommend Dennise, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Willow had a wonderful time at Elizabeth and Kevin’s. This was our first time leaving her with anyone, so we were a bit anxious. However, they provided constant communication including pictures, so we were assured that Willow was doing great! In fact, she probably would have liked to stay longer! 😀 Very, very highly recommended!”
“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!”
“Daniel has been great with my dog Leo. He is very responsive through the app and sends plenty of pictures so you never need to worry that your pet is okay. Leo comes back a little tired after all of the extra walks, attention and play time Dan provides. Dan is my top choice for when I need a sitter for my pup.”
“Jeannette was an excellent sitter for Ruby. She provided the structure that she has at home. I appreciate that she has a large fenced yard for exploration and activity. She provided timely updates during her the visit and an overview during pickup. Ruby enjoyed her stay and I felt safe leaving her with Jeannette. I will definitely book her again.”
“We loved wynde and her family so much that we immediately booked a second weekend with her! My dog is a senior and often on edge around other dogs but no problem at Camp Wynde's. She will be my first call for future trips!”
“You can tell Kelly really loves what she does and loves animals. She was fantastic with our corgi and her other dogs accepted her into their home. Kelly is a very nice person and I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone who needs loving care for their dogs.”
“Thanks so much to Annie. Our sweet cat needed a safe, friendly place for a few days after a long flight, and Annie provides just that plus lots of love. She sent photos every day and info about how our little one was getting on. It gave us a lot of peace to know that our cat was so well cared for. We also appreciate her flexibility with a late arrival and late pickup!”
“Sindhu was amazing with Boo. When we arrived for the meet and greet, Boo walked up on her porch, looked around and laid down- he was that comfortable in a few short minutes of being with her. Also, Sindhu sent me numerous pictures and updates on how he was doing. Boo loved being with her children and her Mom was super nice too! I could not be happier with the care he received and have already booked with her again! Thank you, Sindhu, for caring so well for Boo!”

“Cameron did a fantastic job taking care of both my home and my tiny fury overlords! He took the time to get to know them, and I swear I think they were disappointed when I came back and Cameron left. 🤷🏼♂️ Will 100% be hiring him again for my upcoming trips.”
“Leslie was so awesome, sweet, and great with our cat while we were out of town! We will absolutely use her again in the future. She also gets HUGE bonus points for being kind and caring enough to bring in some packages that were delivered while we were away! Thank you so much, Leslie!!! :)”
“Kassidi took good care of my poodle. She was very communicative with me updating me on how my dog was doing and tried different ways to make my dog comfortable around her. She was super patient and made sure she provided me with great updates. Book with Kassidi :)”
About: I absolutely LOVE cats and have spent my whole life around them! I’m very comfortable with cats of all ages, personalities, and needs.

I’m experienced with feeding, litter box care, playtime, cuddles, and giving each cat the attention and patience they need. I’ll treat your cat like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! 🐱❤️
“Kim took great care of our cats with daily treats and pets. She also fed our fish, brought in our mail and brought up our trash can that we had left at the curb. She went above and beyond for us and was available to us very last minute. Kim thank you for watching our fur family for us! 10/10 recommend!”

Whether your cat is playful, independent, cuddly, or shy, I’ll adapt to their needs and routine to make their time away from you as stress-free as possible.
“FANTASTIC! Wonderful personality and my kitties and Lovebird just adored her! We were just gone overnight, but she stayed with them, sent us picks and updates, and even threw my comforter in the washer when our little girl threw up on it, which she didn’t have to do! I truly couldn’t recommend her more and we will definitely hire her again!”
About: I’ve had my own cat for over 8 years now and have worked with cats of all shapes and sizes since then. I’ve helped to tame feral kitties, worked with medically complex cats needing insulin or inhalers, and don’t mind a stand offish friend.
“Courtney B did a fabulous job looking after a very skiddish feral cat. She was able to work very well with the kitty and made sure food was available for her while I was out of town. I would certainly have Courtney help again!”
“Is there a 12 star button because Ashley was absolutely amazing. She went well above and beyond what I ever expected. She was very attentive to details with Keebler and the house. I will be using her again.”
“Pamela is simply an angel. My wife and I have two cats, one extremely shy and the other very attached to us, because he was born and raised during COVID and lockdown, with us all time at home. Pamela went to my home a couple of times before our trip in order to get the cats used to her. But the magic happened over the trip. Her natural gift to take good care of them made all the difference. She sent many pictures with the two cats with her, with precise descriptions about her visits. This made us feel confident our “kids” were fine. I definitely recommend Pamela to take care any pet.”
“This is the third time we’ve used Claire and she has taken great care of our cat each time! She is very knowledgeable about cats (suggesting questions/tests to bring up with the vet for our cat who has had medical issues), is very reliable and simply great with our cat. We will not use anyone besides Claire to watch our pets in the future!”

“Kate was amazing! She was able to get us in last minute and my dog absolutely loved her (she sent pics of the puppy kisses). My dog came home happy (Kate even brought her home!) And tired from all her adventures. I was so nervous to leave my pupper with someone new, but Kate sent lots of pictures and my dog was clearly comfortable with her! Will absolutely use her again!”
About: Before bringing a dog into your family it is important to know how to take care of them. You need to provide love and affection and kindness. They are treated like family members. I enjoy playing with them in the backyard or in the house. Love to take them for walks if that is what is preferred. Keeps us both healthy. I love cuddling with them on the couch and petting them. They are such great company and love the loyalty they provide. I love all kinds of dogs they are smart and curious little guys. They must be taken to a vet to keep up with their shots and health. I don't like to feed them from the table and I always read articles on what is or what isn't good for them. I am home and I can be with your pet 24/7. I enjoy sitting and cuddling with the fur babies and sometimes my grandson who is 18 comes to visit he loves animals and just plays with them and will cuddle with them. I usually give the pet free range of the home and they usually love the freedom. I also allow them to watch tv dog shows. Lol
About: I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was little. Anytime my family or friends need help with their dogs, they come to me. I play sports and go to school.

Space inside and in the backyard where they can run and play.

“She was very communicative. Sent lots of pictures and videos. When an issue arose, she handled it perfectly and communicated what happened and we established a plan for if it should come up again.”
“I booked Nickeyias for doggy daycare and she took amazing care of my Bintley. He felt completely comfortable with her and her family from the start, and she treated him like he was part of her family. When I picked him up, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly enjoyed his day. I already scheduled his next visit — highly recommend!”
About: •Please read before booking• -No uncrated pets, this means they are used to being in a crate NOT that they will be let themselves be put in one. If a dog is not crate trained, forcing them in a crate somewhere unknown will cause stress. Unless I have sat your dog before and have had experience with them uncrated, this applies to everyone. This to prevent injury or destruction of property. Crating only happens at night or when I’m not home (rare) otherwise they will roam. -Drop offs, pick ups, and meet ups will happen strictly outside the house unless agreed otherwise. Do not barge into my house please ;( -No unuttered males to prevent territorial marking, escape, etc. -Late fee will apply after 15min of no show past agreed time. I have experience with multiple dog breeds and sizes for over 8 years. I have done everything from dog sitting energetic dogs to relaxed dogs. A usual day involves: potty time, feed time, 30min settlement for food, then leisure time. After 2hrs of their food break they will go out potty and then again every two hours after that. I do have some experience training dogs (although not a professional) this engages them and allows for mental stimulation. I am home fulltime and can provide continuous care for your friend! Schedule is updated daily please shoot me a text if you need more details or require help. Schedule changes week to week so please send request and will talk to you about availability (specifically for drop-ins) not applicable to boarding/doggy care Fully fenced yard, big full front yard, lots of space inside as well in case bad weather doesn’t let them run around outside. I supervise when they’re outdoors/indoors. I prefer to crate if I am away to prevent injuries, if you’re dog isn’t crate trained please let me know.
“I would HIGHLY recommend Norma to care for your fur baby. You'll immediately feel at ease with her. She was so easy to work with on arrangements and superb with communication.”
“Dennise was fantastic. When we unexpectedly needed a daytime sitter while traveling, Dennise responded promptly to the request and took our fur baby in. She took pictures and accommodated our varied schedule needs. When we are back in the area, we will definitely have Maxwell spend time with Dennise.”

About: I started pet and house sitting in 2015 and have loved caring for furry, feathered, and even scale-y friends ever since. As a farm kid through and through, I'm comfortable with animals of all shapes and sizes and have experience caring for nearly every type of pet you can imagine.

While my training is in human medicine, I have experience caring for pets with complex medical needs, including administering injections, medications, and subcutaneous fluids. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and attentive caring for your pets, especially when they require extra support. At home, I share my life with two cats, Winston and Franklin, one of whom is an FIP survivor. That experience has given me a firsthand appreciation for the trust pet owners place in their caregivers and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pets are in capable hands. If you're looking for a responsible, dependable professional to keep your pets happy, healthy, and loved while you're away, I'd be honored to help.

My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, so you can travel with peace of mind.

About: I grew up with having a dog around the house, so I have always loved being around pets. The last two summers I have pet sat for families while they were on vacation.

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: The services I offer are dog walks and check ins. I am currently 26 years old and graduated from UNCC in May of 2022. I have always loved animals ever since I was a little girl. I started caring for family and friends animals when I was 12 years old and will often help out friends and family when they need me to. What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is that I will take the time to love and care for your animal like it was my own. I always try to go above and beyond whatever my task is. I hope to one day be able to care and love your animal as if you were there. I work full time during the week but I am free all day during the weekends. I would be able to provide walks and daily care for your pet. I have two cats and one dog who are very loving to all humans and animals . I want your pet to feel comfortable while you are away.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals all my life from my own pets to pets of friends and family, which includes being responsible for them from time to time. I’ve even had prior experience staying overnight and caring for animals that include dogs, cats, and chickens. I am a full time student in law school so my schedule depends on my classes and my school obligations for the week. However, I try hard to manage all bookings I get if the owners are willing to be flexible with times! I can care for your pet by walking them, playing with them, feeding them, hugging them, grooming them, and even staying with them overnight if that makes them more comfortable while you are away.
About: I’ve loved animals ever since I was little. I’ve worked for two dog kennels that have provided me with efficient responsibility for the fur babies of other individuals. I have a dog of my own whom I consider to be my best friend. Any time with a furry friend makes me happy. I have part time availability for the summer. I work a full time job during the year as an educator that has a set weekly schedule. I live in a home with my pets therefore I cannot provide day care. I can offer sitting and drop-in services. I can provide walks locally near your home or at a nearby park. I have plenty of references that will help you feel comfortable with my experience as an animal lover.

“Schooner had to stay one more day due to flight cancellation, it was super easy to do and Leslie was so nice about it I felt very at ease adding an additional day.”
“Kayla accepted Lola on a last minute request due to an emergency. She was very communicative and provided a lot of updates and pictures daily about Lola’s adjustment period, feeding, and play time. Lola genuinely seemed happy to be there and interact with the other fur friends throughout her stay. I highly recommend Kayla and will definitely use her services again!”
“Let me start off saying that we usually have family members watch our dog when we travel. We were quite nervous having someone else watch him. Norma put us at ease. She sent us pictures daily and a summary of how he did. Rocky made new friends while staying at Norma’s house. We will be using in the future. Rocky had a great time with her!”
“London and her family were incredible. The constant updates and photos completely eased my mind while I was away from Luna; you could tell she was in excellent hands. They’re such a kind, attentive family who truly go above and beyond for the dogs in their care. Sending her home with a goody bag full of her favorite treats was such a thoughtful touch. I can’t recommend them enough.”
“Dennise was absolutely the BEST! She made my fur baby feel right at home while I was out of the country for a week. She even kept her for a few days of doggy daycare before my trip, which helped them bond and gave me so much peace of mind. She sent frequent updates and lots of pictures, which really eased my anxiety about being away for so long. I honestly think my dog thinks this is her second home! I highly recommend Dennise, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Willow had a wonderful time at Elizabeth and Kevin’s. This was our first time leaving her with anyone, so we were a bit anxious. However, they provided constant communication including pictures, so we were assured that Willow was doing great! In fact, she probably would have liked to stay longer! 😀 Very, very highly recommended!”
“Daniel has been great with my dog Leo. He is very responsive through the app and sends plenty of pictures so you never need to worry that your pet is okay. Leo comes back a little tired after all of the extra walks, attention and play time Dan provides. Dan is my top choice for when I need a sitter for my pup.”
“We loved wynde and her family so much that we immediately booked a second weekend with her! My dog is a senior and often on edge around other dogs but no problem at Camp Wynde's. She will be my first call for future trips!”
“You can tell Kelly really loves what she does and loves animals. She was fantastic with our corgi and her other dogs accepted her into their home. Kelly is a very nice person and I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone who needs loving care for their dogs.”
“Sindhu was amazing with Boo. When we arrived for the meet and greet, Boo walked up on her porch, looked around and laid down- he was that comfortable in a few short minutes of being with her. Also, Sindhu sent me numerous pictures and updates on how he was doing. Boo loved being with her children and her Mom was super nice too! I could not be happier with the care he received and have already booked with her again! Thank you, Sindhu, for caring so well for Boo!”
“Brittany and her husband were great!!! They were extremely flexible when it came to my trip with last-minute changes, and they kept me up-to-date with peppers, sending pictures and even a video, I would highly recommend them for you, my experience was awesome.”
“Carolina did a wonderful job of taking care of Seamus. I got lots of updates and pictures throughout the week. It’s great that she has a dog that my dog could play with and run around with. Will definitely book again!”
“Thank you Lipika for the great experience with my fur-babies. I have not ever left them with anyone with the fear of distrust. You have made this feeling a blessing for us all. I can tell they love you. Especially Sebastian who don’t seem to take to outside the family. I see you know your way with dogs behaviors and how to handle it. Im definitely looking forward to our next meet. I have spread the word that you’re awesome. I’ll call you the dog-whisper😊”
“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!!”
“Ms. Hope was amazing. Great communication and she loves all the pups like they are her own. Even the ones with a little anxiety! I also liked that she dog sits multiple pups so they make new friends. Definitely rebooking! Thank you 💛”
“Albina and her family were wonderful with our two dogs. She was able to accommodate us fairly last minute and sent so many updates and photos which was really appreciated! Would highly recommend”
