“Annie and Grandma Grace are amazing! Lily loved her sleep over with them and can't wait to go back for another sleepover. Annie sent us lots of updates and sent Lily home with the cutest card telling us about her stay with them. I highly recommend Annie and Grandma Grace to anyone who wants to have their fur baby treated like a part of their family.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Alvin’s and would absolutely book with her again! She took such great care of Cayde and kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was obvious from the photos that Cayde was having a great time playing and getting lots of attention. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating with our travel schedule, which we really appreciated since our timeline changed a few times. Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and she genuinely treated Cayde like one of her own. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”

“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!”
“Jill did a wonderful job taking care of our rambunctious puppy, Pepperoni. She sent multiple updates and pictures. We could tell he had a great time while we were gone. We will definitely use her again!”

She went above and beyond to make sure Charlie was happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter."”
About: I have two male dachshunds. I have had the. since they were puppies. I had three, but my oldest passed away on Dec. 16, 2025. He was13 years old and I have had him since I was 21 years old. My second oldest is 11 years old and the youngest is 4 years old. The dogs are allowed on furniture. We have ramps to help them onto the couch and they have a nice ramp up to a comfy window bed area. Our dogs love sleeping there and looking out the window. I am used to dogs with health issues. My oldest dog, Odie, had a very sensitive stomach and had to have a strict diet or he got pancreatitis. Our youngest has had back surgery and was paralyzed and slowly regained mobility. Taking care of dogs with health issues is not a problem for me. When booking with me. Let me know about your pets personality. Be specific with eating schedule. I require the dogs to be crate trained if I have to step out of the house. We have a big backyard that is perfect for exploring and running around. When the dogs get hot, we have a small pool that my dog Oscar loves to jump in to cool off. I am a teacher and I have my summers off. During the school year I am gone during the day. My dogs are fenced off to the hallway and the front window. They have 3 dog beds and a ramp leading up to the window where they also sleep on a platform. The dogs are cozy waiting for us. Make sure to let me know how your dog should be handled when I am away. I will crate your dogs next to mine while I'm away from the house. To ensure their safety. We have a big backyard and your dog will get lots of loves at my house. We are big dog lovers. I live with my husband and two children. I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old who are gentle with dogs. My 5 year old actually has her own dog. The youngest dachshund, Jack, is hers. They have a great bond and he always sleeps in her bed at night.
“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.”
About: I have been around animals my entire life and grew up caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, and even reptiles. Over the past five years, my family has had a full house of pets, including one dog, two cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and a chameleon, so I’m very comfortable with a variety of animals and their unique needs. In 2021, I completed training to have my golden retriever certified as a therapy dog. After becoming licensed, she worked alongside me in public schools, where she provided comfort and support to students. That experience strengthened my skills in handling, training, and understanding animals while ensuring they feel safe, calm, and well cared for. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to give animals plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins to make sure pets are comfortable and well cared for. Since I’m home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone and can enjoy a calm, consistent environment. Caring for animals is already part of my daily life with our own pets, so adding additional pet care feels like a natural extension of our routine. My home is very pet-friendly and used to having animals around. I have a family of five with three kids ages 11–16 who all love animals and are respectful of their personalities and space. Since I already have pets in our home, I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing regular feeding times, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on making them feel safe and comfortable, just like part of the family. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions the owner provides. My goal is always to make sure pets feel relaxed, well cared for, and loved while their owners are away.
“Patrick loves London and her family! They give the best TLC! We're grateful for all they do for our sweet boy! He gets so excited when we turn down the road to their location! 🥰”
“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.”
“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!”

“Alison took care of my cat, Wolfgang, for 5 days while I was on a cruise in the Bahamas. Everything looked better than before I left. She cleaned out the old bits and pieces of dry food from his 3 cat treat bowls and the litter box was immaculate. I will definitely plan on using Alison again in the future.”

About: I have many years of farming experience and have gained many great achievements in the field of agriculture. I will make sure that every animal is taken care of and treated with respect and love. I have a pretty empty schedule during the week. I typically respond fast to make sure that your needs are met in a timely manner. I have three dogs in my house as well as three cats. These cats usually reside upstairs, so they will not be a problem as they like to be alone most of the time. My dogs are very friendly and are always open to new friends. At my home, I do not have a crate, but I can always set one up if provided.
“Stephanie took amazing care of my cat and was an overall pleasure to work with! She genuinely cares about each pet and pays attention to detail. She also does an incredible job communicating and keeping you updated on how your baby is doing during her stay and she sends lots of cute photos too! Your fur babies will be in excellent hands with her!”
About: I grew up with two cats—A Maine Coon and Domestic Shorthair who lived into their twenties! More recently I’ve cat-sat for family on vacation on multiple occasions. I absolutely love cats! Working to hopefully afford to adopt one soon. :)
“Our second time using Hannah and we will def be booking her for all future trips! She is very reliable and great with our pets! We love getting picture updates from her as well!”
About: I have deep, hands-on experience caring for cats and understanding their unique personalities and needs. From playful kittens to older cats who need a little extra TLC, I know how to create a calm, safe space where they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m familiar with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, grooming, introducing new pets, and even recognizing subtle signs of stress or illness. My approach is gentle, respectful, and always rooted in love—because cats deserve nothing less.
About: In my general pet-care description I included some brief information about my experience caring for cats, however, I believe this is my speciality. I am a very empathetic, thoughtful, and patient person and feel as though kitties can sense that. I have won over many strays, whom were difficult with any other humans. I have helped a stray mother birth her 5 kitties, including helping her push and cutting two of the umbilical cords. I have cared for many sickly kittens of my own and fostering, including bottle feeding and bathing and medicine administration. I feed and spend time with the 5 outdoor kitties (strays) in our neighborhood daily, simply because I enjoy it and feel as though they deserve love also:) Caring for cats is not just a hobby or a part of my life, it is something I go out of my way to spend my time doing and is a deep passion I feel as though I am called to partake in.
About: I've personally taken care of cats as long as I can remember, between my family members as well as my own cats! I currently have four rescue cats who have plenty of toys and treats in their own personal sunroom. Your cat will have the opportunity to play with other kitties, sunbathe, play with toys, and get treats.

About: Hello! Currently I own 3 precious female cats myself! I rescued each of them when they were kittens and still actively work with a cat rescue local in my area! I have plenty of resource opportunities if needed as well because of that! I have owned cats since I was a child, and I’ve always loved observing each of their own unique personalities. Although many say dogs are a man’s best friend, I truly believe cats are equally as loyal, loving and caring!

About: Amo a las mascotas sobretodo los perros, sé que no son niños pero los trato tal cual respetuosa y cuidadora, me he criado con una mascota en casa desde mi infancia, mi primera mascota era un Rottweiler llamada Danger, ella era una belleza de perro, era grande e imponente, mi hermano y yo la entrenamos al punto que salía a caminar sin leash en la calle, acataba todas las ordenes que le dabamos, era muy inteligente. Al pasar de los años cuando conocí a mi esposo, el ya tenía un perro, era un poodle llamado Blacky el se convirtió rápidamente en mi bebe el no tenía muchos habitos de entrenamiento y con el pasar del tiempo le fui enseñando cosas básicas, como sentarse, dar la pata y caminar al lado sin que saliera corriendo sin leash, el falleció hace un par de años, su perdida fue muy dura de verdad. Y no hemos tenido más perros por los momentos, pero amigos y vecinos me han dado sus perros con lo ojos cerrados porque saben que los cuido muy bien, soy muy respetuosa y cariñosa, lo más importantes es que siempre busco de enseñarle algún truco, en mis fotos podrán ver algunos perros que he tenido cuidando varios dias, tengo a Toby que aparece en mi foto de perfil parecido a mi perro Blacky a Mila una cachorra hermosa, y luna una viejita hermosa. me gusta jugar con ellos y darle mucho amor. 🐕🦺Tener una mascota es mucha responsabilidad amor y paciencia. Estoy comenzando en esta app Rover formalmente y me gustaría cuidar a tu peludito. 🤗🐶 Actualmente trabajo por mi cuenta y estoy la gran parte de las veces en casa. Podría usar una parte de mi tiempo para visitar a tu mascota y recargar las energía con ella. Tengo un jardín súper grande y tengo bastante espacio para jugar con el o ella. Tambien en la urbanización puedo darle varias vueltas y conozcan la zona

About: What sets me apart is the way I care for each dog as an individual, not just as a routine task. I grew up with dogs and have hands-on experience raising and caring for two of my own, so I understand their behavior, needs, and how to make them feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with puppies and know how important consistency, patience, and structure are at that stage. While I’m not a professional trainer, I follow owners’ routines closely and reinforce good habits, whether it’s basic commands, potty routines, or leash manners. I also pay close attention to each dog’s personality—whether they are energetic, shy, or need a calm environment—and adjust my care to match.

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.

Im currently working a 2-2-3 schedule- so my work does very from week to week but is consistent. I have every other weekend off, but I also have at least 2-3 days off during the week as well. I have a fenced in yard, I also have 4 fur babies myself. 3 of which stay outside in kennels- 1 that stays inside with me! They are all friendly and love company!
“Alison came to our rescue with a last minute booking and she was great with both of my pups. One is very anxious and slow to warm up to people but warmed up to her really quick! Will definitely use her in the future :)”
About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my entire life and even teach the strangest animals (high schoolers) during the year. Currently trying to survive the summer by doing something I love which hopefully will be relaxing with your pets! I’m currently on summer break so my schedule is VERY flexible. I love to work and have a schedule and routine. Nothing is more routine than pet care! My personal dog is spoiled rotten. I plan to give your pets the same attention I give mine! I take my Grace on daily walks, car trips, and to get pup cups weekly. Whatever your pets needs are, I’ll make them happen!
About: I have many years of farming experience and have gained many great achievements in the field of agriculture. I will make sure that every animal is taken care of and treated with respect and love. I have a pretty empty schedule during the week. I typically respond fast to make sure that your needs are met in a timely manner. I have three dogs in my house as well as three cats. These cats usually reside upstairs, so they will not be a problem as they like to be alone most of the time. My dogs are very friendly and are always open to new friends. At my home, I do not have a crate, but I can always set one up if provided.
About: I was raised with dogs my whole life. Iv done everything from helping with birthing to providing comfortable space for our fur babies to go to heaven I’m a stay at home dog mom. I enjoy being at home with my fur babies playing outside/enjoying the weather making happy memories and moments I have a fenced yard and two friendly girl fur babies that love to play with other dogs and get zoomies all around my spacious fenced yard.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover based on a 10-acre homestead in Pageland, SC. I specialize in structured, safe boarding with supervised outdoor time and secure indoor accommodations. We have a brand-new 6-foot wooden privacy fence enclosing our backyard, providing a secure area for dogs to exercise, stretch, and explore during supervised potty breaks and play sessions. Guests stay in our large climate-controlled sunroom outfitted with seven kennels, giving each dog their own secure space to rest comfortably between outdoor time, meals, and enrichment. Crate rotation and routine breaks are built into our daily schedule, ensuring dogs have consistency and predictability. Crate & House Access Policy • Crating is standard when we are away or sleeping, and during rest periods. • Potty breaks are offered approximately every 2 hours during waking hours. • For older, calm, fully house-trained, non-destructive, and cat-friendly dogs, free-roam house access may be considered on a case-by-case basis with owner request and compatibility assessment. • Dogs with separation anxiety, destructive tendencies, or unsafe habits (counter-surfing, door-bolting, etc.) will remain on our structured crate schedule for their safety. Experience & Approach I’ve owned and cared for everything from hedgehogs and geckos to chickens, horses, and working-breed dogs. I’m comfortable with: • Medication administration (oral or topical) • Senior dogs • Puppies & house-training stages • Reactive or shy personalities • High-energy dogs who require clear routines • Multi-dog coexistence and safe rotations My husband runs his own business and is home most of the time, ensuring someone is almost always present for supervision, potty break intervals, and routine care. I am home evenings and weekends, and we work together to provide structure, security, and consistent monitoring. What You Can Expect • Individual crate spaces (no shared kennels) • 6-ft fully fenced private yard • Consistent potty break schedule (≈ every 2 hours) • Supervised outdoor time only • Optional house freedom only if fully compatible • Daily updates, photos, and communication We focus on safe, predictable, and tailored care based on each dog’s needs and the comfort level of their owner. Whether a pup thrives with structured crate rest or enjoys calm, supervised sunroom naps, we tailor stays responsibly rather than one-size-fits-all. I work full-time as an insurance producer in Monroe, NC from 8–5, Monday through Friday. I’m home all day on weekends, and during the week, my husband is at our homestead full-time and helps provide care and supervision. Since we work as a team, your pets will never be left alone for long periods. I’m also available for morning or evening drop-ins and walks depending on location and schedule! We live on a peaceful 10-acre homestead. We do not allow free play with other pets - so you know that your furry friend is safe and sound the entire stay! They will have supervised playtime with other pups from the same household, or with just our staff! Our top priority is a safe stay.
About: I’ve spent years caring for animals of all kinds—dogs, cats, and everything in between. With hands-on experience in feeding, grooming, training, and holistic wellness, I understand not just how to meet a pet’s needs, but how to truly connect with them. My approach is gentle, intuitive, and rooted in love. Whether it’s managing multiple pets or supporting animals with anxiety or medical needs, I’m dedicated to creating a calm, safe environment where every pet feels at home. I'm available for pretty much anything need. My schedule is very flexible. Throughout the day, I pay close attention to their moods, making time for play, brushing, or just sitting quietly with them when they need comfort. Their well-being is a priority in everything I do, and caring for them brings structure, peace, and purpose to my day. When I care for other people’s animals, I treat them like they’re my own—with patience, gentleness, and full attention. I take time to learn their routines, personalities, and needs, so they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, playing, or just sitting with a shy pet to help them feel calm, I make sure every moment is rooted in trust and love. I know how much animals mean to their families, and I do everything I can to give them peace of mind.

My availability is mostly during the week, and occasionally Saturdays, starting at early mornings after I care for my own dog Making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in the absence of their primary caregiver is my top priority. Having a dog who’s wary of strangers, I understand and am completely committed to doing what I was hired to do and making sure pets get the care they deserve no matter the level of introversion or anxiety.

In addition, I have hands on experience with tropical birds and understand the importance of patience, consistency and attention to detail when caring for exotic pets. What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every animal! I take my time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I am reliable, communicative, and committed to making pet parents feel confident while they’re away through regular updates and attentive care. I am currently a part-time worker at a local pharmacy and a Full-Time college student looking to make extra money while doing what I love.

About: At the humane society, I had the opportunity to care for dogs of all shapes and sizes, each with their own unique needs and personalities. Their care required gentle handling and tailored diets to ensure their delicate health. Throughout my time, I also handled a variety of mixed breeds, each with its own temperament and care requirements. This variety kept each day interesting and taught me to adapt quickly to the needs of different dogs. Whether it was administering medication, providing enrichment, or simply offering a comforting presence, I gained a deep understanding of how to cater to a wide range of canine needs. I’m currently working part time, since I’m a student in college, I’ll be available to work around 1 pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. On Tuesdays around 2 pm. I understand how important your dog is to you, and I'm committed to providing the best care possible. I've had extensive experience with various dogs. I’ll follow any specific instructions you provide and keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos to ensure you feel at ease while you're away. Your dog's comfort and safety are my top priorities.

My mom has taught me how to not only take care of; but also teach commands to dogs. Any animal that I take care of, I treat the animal as if it were my own. 🐶🐕🐱🐈 I am a student in high school going into senior year starting in late August. As it is summer right now, my schedule consists of weekdays from Monday to Thursday. When taking care of your dog/cat, I offer any service the animal needs which including: using the bathroom, crating them, giving them food or water, and keeps me them entertained and happy.

“We had a wonderful experience with Alvin’s and would absolutely book with her again! She took such great care of Cayde and kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was obvious from the photos that Cayde was having a great time playing and getting lots of attention. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating with our travel schedule, which we really appreciated since our timeline changed a few times. Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and she genuinely treated Cayde like one of her own. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
“Anna is very friendly, cooperative and professional. She took great care of Athena while we were out for a week and provided daily updates (with pics). I highly recommend folks to use dog sitting services with Anna!! ❤️🙏🏻”
“Elizabeth was an amazing sitter for our two dogs. They sent us daily updates along with pictures of our dogs. We will definitely use Elizabeth again in the near future! Thank you for taking such good care of our little fur babies.”
“Daniel is great! His home is clean, organized and well situated to look after pups. He has a great demeanor for dogs and their humans. We really appreciate the communication and the pics during our pup’s visit and will book with him again.”
“This was a 14 week old rescue that I only had for 2 weeks. I was grateful to find a sitter with such high ratings. We communicated everyday. I would happily use Leslie again.”
“Amy & Ross were great and helped me out last minute over the holiday! They sent daily pictures & updates of Artie and definitely made me feel comfortable that he was being cared for. They gave him lots of attention and exercise as well. I’ll definitely book with them again!”
“I recently used Summer for pet sitting our dog and I couldn't be happier with the service she provided. She was punctual, reliable, and always kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the day. Our dog, Charlie, clearly loved spending time with her and her pups, and I felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care. She went above and beyond to make sure Charlie was happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter."”
About: I have been around animals my entire life and grew up caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, and even reptiles. Over the past five years, my family has had a full house of pets, including one dog, two cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and a chameleon, so I’m very comfortable with a variety of animals and their unique needs. In 2021, I completed training to have my golden retriever certified as a therapy dog. After becoming licensed, she worked alongside me in public schools, where she provided comfort and support to students. That experience strengthened my skills in handling, training, and understanding animals while ensuring they feel safe, calm, and well cared for. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to give animals plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins to make sure pets are comfortable and well cared for. Since I’m home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone and can enjoy a calm, consistent environment. Caring for animals is already part of my daily life with our own pets, so adding additional pet care feels like a natural extension of our routine. My home is very pet-friendly and used to having animals around. I have a family of five with three kids ages 11–16 who all love animals and are respectful of their personalities and space. Since I already have pets in our home, I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing regular feeding times, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on making them feel safe and comfortable, just like part of the family. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions the owner provides. My goal is always to make sure pets feel relaxed, well cared for, and loved while their owners are away.
“Patrick loves London and her family! They give the best TLC! We're grateful for all they do for our sweet boy! He gets so excited when we turn down the road to their location! 🥰”
“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.”
“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!”
“If your dog likes playing with other dogs - this is the place!!! It’s like summer camp! Alicia clearly knows what she’s doing and all of the dogs there were so happy. She even gives you little goody bags when you pick up your babies and sends really good pictures throughout the stay ! She was also so flexible with pickup and drop off timing which was so helpful for us.”
“Our sweet doggies had a great time staying with Christy and her family! We have a German Shepherd mix and a Great Pyrenees that were given tons of love and attention during their whole stay. We really loved the frequent updates and hearing about how much her kids enjoyed spending time with our puppers. We’re looking forward to booking again! :)”
“Another great experience with Kelly. She is great with the dogs, answers messages very promptly and is very easy to work with if things need to be switched around! Our dogs are always happy and exhausted after staying with her. I feel confident leaving them with her when we are away. Thanks Kelly!”
“Racheal went above and beyond—sending regular updates, photos, and truly treating our pup like family. It was clear from the moment we met that they genuinely love animals and take their responsibility seriously. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’ll absolutely be booking again. Thank you for your outstanding service! Stephen”
“Cami is amazing! She was very communicative and so attentive to our pup! She has a very dog friendly home and yard as well. Our dog was very relaxed and happy when we picked him up so we knew immediately that he enjoyed his stay. We’re hoping she’s available for all our future boarding needs. Highly recommended!”
