About: Cats have been part of my life since childhood, so the routine is muscle memory: fresh water, scoop the litter, watch food intake, and give your cat real engaged time — they notice when you don’t. Quiet entries, no sudden movements, soft voice. I report anything that seems off in behavior, appetite, or litter, and send photo updates from every visit so you can see your cat is calm and content while you’re away.

“Heather was so kind to watch my pups on short notice, and I highly recommend her!!! She had great communication, was super nice, and kept me updated in detail about how they were doing. Your pups will be in great hands with her, can’t wait to book again!!”
“I have never left my 8-year old beagle, Cody with anyone other than immediate family, and I couldn't have been happier of the way Karlee and her dogs "kept a good eye" on Cody. Karlee got to experience how much of a cuddler Cody is, and it gave him a much-needed opportunity to interact with other dogs, especially dogs that are bigger. Karlee is a very "upbeat" and positive person, and a real dog lover, so I would recommend her to anyone in the Charlotte area.”

“Our doggy daycare shut down suddenly and we were in need of overnight boarding for our little dachshund, Trinco. Amy was available and took great care of him! We did a day of daycare with her one day before to get Trinco more familiar with Amy. She treated him like her own pup, and gave him lots of love and attention. We felt relieved knowing that Amy is very familiar with taking care of dogs and was so caring and understanding of how anxious Trinco was to be around new people/surroundings. Amy was also great at sending us updates and pictures to reassure us that he was doing well! We would definitely work with Amy again!”

About: Hi, Im Andrew! I’ve been taking care of pets my whole life with my family and we love them all dearly, sometimes... too much lol. We currently have two Golden doodles, a Pekingese, and 3 cats so we understand the attention and care each pet individually needs. I was born and raised in Orlando, Florida, played baseball for 17 years both Varsity Highschool and Travel ball and in 2019 moved up here to North Carolina for my dads retirement and to be close to his side of the family. I recently worked at Persmart for about a year and took care of many exotic pets on the daily! Whatever your needs are, pets are a breeze for me and you are more than welcome to message me your requests and we will work something out. Thank you! I always prioritize pets necessities and desires and have a job that allows me to work remotely while I take care of your pets at the same time! I also own a cat myself who I love and adore lol. I would take your pet for a walk daily to ensure their built up energy is being used as well as give them special play time! However many times your animal takes to use the bathroom I will ensure happens and accommodate any preferences they have and are needed. I love to lay and cuddle with animals so if that’s something your pet loves I’m all for it!
“My fur babies love going on walks with Taryn and I enjoy receiving their reports and pictures from their walk excursions. She is very friendly and punctual and I am grateful to have found her since I am currently recovering from surgery so unable to give them their daily walks.

About: I’ve had a dog(s) since I was in a crib, they’re my life. I’ve volunteered at vets offices off and on for 3 years and I grew up working horses so I know quite a bit about first aid care! I’m the type of person who notices a dog before I notice a person. I think how people treat animals is a very important personality trait. I’ve always had a huge passion for animals since birth, and pet sitting helps me get my “puppy obsession” out without owning 50 dogs and cats. I’d love to help you feel like your babies are safe and cared for while you’re away! I have experience with animals of all sizes, and energy levels, as well as with behavioral or health issues. I am currently renovating my family home, so I set my own schedule. I am extremely flexible and willing to accommodate any scheduling needs to ensure the best care! I treat others homes as well or better than my own, and I like animals more than most people so I will give your fur babes genuine love and affection.

About: I grew up on a farm, so I've been surrounded by pets all my life. I refer to pets as furry family members. My goal is to maintain your pet's routine while you are away.

During that time, I've cared for a dog in a wheel chair, several dogs with cataracts, diabetic cats, blind and/or deaf pets, several pets post surgery and anxious animals among many others. I have experience with dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, ferrets, hamsters, guinea pigs, bearded dragons (lizards), birds, horses, ponies, cows, pigs, chickens, hermit crabs and more. Expect that I will ask questions about your pet's routine, including: 1. What does your pet eat and how often? 2. Where does your pet eat? 3. Does your pet require any medicine? 4. Does your pet have free reign of your home? 5. Is your pet kid-friendly? 6. How will I be greeted by your pet when I enter your home? 7. Where do you keep your cleaning supplies, in the event of an accident? 8. Any special instructions? I will also ask security questions about your home, including: 1. How would you like me to enter your home? (front door, garage door, back door, etc.) 2. How would you like me to gain access to your home? (key or code) 3. Who else has a key/code to your home? (Remind me to tell you a funny story, that wasn't so funny at the time!) I look forward to the opportunity to serve you and love on your furry family members! We have relocated to the beach and are focusing on pet care as a family while we homeschool our children. We look forward to loving on your furry family member(s) and blessing your family. We will do our best to maintain your pet's routine in your home. Our goal is for your pet to have a stay-cation while you are vacationing.

Also access to water 24/7 I am currently a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to make sure your fur baby has all the love and attention they need! I have a lovely fenced in yard, I provide water all day long as needed, they will get snuggles from me, and played with all day! My number-one priority is the comfort of your pet.
About: I currently have 12 dogs of all sizes, I love being around dogs and feel confident in my ability to handle any size or breed. I've worked around animals for over 6 years including at a dog grooming salon and animal hospital so I can bathe and brush any pup (or cat) who needs it as well as provide basic medical care needs. I am out of school for the summer so I have plenty of time to visit and love on all of your furry friends. If you are looking for a overnight sitter, please not I am working my student practicum and will be gone 7-9 hours a day Monday-Thursday, but otherwise I will be able to be home with your babies! I will only do drop in visits or overnight stays as I have so many animals it may be stressful for your pet to be at my house, however, during these visits I can feed, walk, play, groom, and snuggle your baby(ies) while I am there! I will also send pictures and videos if you would like.
About: Hello Rover Community! I took a long break from dog walking and sitting due to the birth of my son, but I’m back and ready to get going again for all your amazing pups (that’s should explain my low response rate 😂)! I believe that trust worthy, experienced and proper care for your pet, shouldn’t be a nightmare for your wallet. I would be thrilled to have the honor of taking care of your friendly pooch. I am based in Waxhaw, NC and me and my wife would love to be of service! Reach out for any questions and we look forward to serving you! I work from home so I am available everyday to help take your dog out for their daily walks. I’ll be able to give them plenty of time and attention. While I do live in an apartment, there’s tons of walking space and a Greenway, right across the street where I take my puppy on his daily walks. My apartment is also spacious and your pooch would be in great hands.
About: I’m a 19 year old student at UNC Charlotte and have grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for animals comes very naturally to me. I’ve also dog and cat sat many times for friends, family, and others, including feeding, walking, playing, and overnight care. I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes and personalities, and I always make sure to follow routines closely so pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have classes in the mornings until around 12, which leaves me free for the rest of the day and evenings. I’m available for check-ins, feedings, walks, and overnight stays with pets throughout the afternoon and night. I’m also flexible with my schedule and can adjust to meet a pet’s specific routine, whether that means multiple visits a day or staying longer to make sure they’re comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I always follow their specific instructions closely to keep their pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I make sure pets are fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, and any other care they need like walks, playtime, or litter box cleaning. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and keep everything clean and organized. I also like to provide updates and photos so owners feel comfortable knowing their pet is happy and well cared for while they’re away.
