“Ashley was great! Chang looked like he was having a great time in his pictures that she sent to me. I’m very appreciative of her being comfortable with Chang being old and having several issues. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Carrie took great care of our pit bull Sox in her home while we were out of town for a couple days! She sent daily updates with pictures and videos to assure us he was doing well. Her whole family gave him much love and treated him like their own. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Ronald and his wife were great! They went out of their way to help me get my dog to their house while a political event had some roads blocked off in the area. I also got several pics from them, showing my pup being loved and comfortable. I will definitely be using Ronald again :)”
“I had a lot of anxiety leaving my pup for the very first time and Russell did an amazing job with her! I would highly recommend him for your pet’s care! She was very well taken care of and he played with her, took her on walks and made her feel right at home. She is a high energy dog and he did fantastic with her!”
“Had a wonderful experience with boarding. Oakley came home so exhausted. Will definately use again. They were very communicative through entire boarding with rapid responses and treated my baby as one of their own.”
“Kirby was well taken care of. I got plenty of pictures and videos every day. I could tell he was having a good time and got plenty of fetch time. He came home happy and smelling great. Would definitely use Susan again.”
“I can’t say enough about Kendra. This was a first time leaving my sons’ dogs for an extended time, but Kendra made sure to keep my sons and I at ease with the constant updates and pics of our babies. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our pups were in great hands.”
“Nicole was great with my goldendoodle Kingston. She kept me updated from the time I left, and each day after. She sent me photos of him playing with her two dogs, and a German Shepard that was there one day on a play date. Kingston was well cared for, and judging from the photos he had a ball while there. He was able to run and play in Nicole's hugh backyard,and Kingston also had a dedicated room in her house to nap/sleep. Nicole is a fantasic sitter and I could tell that she loves dogs. I would definitely reommend her services if you need a dog sitter.”
“I had a great experience with Sandra. She took amazing care of my dog, and I could tell he felt safe and happy with her. When we came to pick him up, he even ran back to say goodbye. That meant so much. Highly recommend!”
“I can't say enough positive things about my and my pup's experience with Brad. 1. Booking/Communication - From the initial booking, Brad was communicative and responsive ensuring that I would feel comfortable even before I dropped my pup off. 2. Drop off - At drop-off, Brad was extremely attentive to understand the unique needs of my pup especially as it pertained to his medication. In my moving around, I forgot to bring something my pup needed. Brad was extremely helpful in getting it resolved so that my pup's stay would be just fine. Additionally, Brad went out of his way to ask how, and what frequency, I wanted to be updated on my pup's stay. 3. Stay - My pup had a fantastic time staying with Brad and having pup siblings at Brad's house. I'm confident of this not only because, true to his word, Brad was not only communicative about what was going on each day (for the entire ~3wk stay), but he also sent pictures and videos with funny notes! I could see that my dog was active not only outside but inside the home, was playing well with the other dogs, and was being loved and snuggled daily. 4. Pick-up - The day of pick-up, my flight was delayed impacting my ability to pick-up my pup on time. Brad was completely understanding and was communicative to ensure that I had no worries. When I arrived to pick up my pup, all of the things I sent with my pup came home in great condition AND Brad sent me home with a treat that he had graciously been giving my pup as well! I could tell my pup was excited to go home but was sad to leave Brad and his new friends! Overall, we will DEFINITELY use Brad again and recommend him to anyone that is looking for someone to treat their pup like family when they have to go away. Thanks again, Brad!”
“Amy was amazing with our two babies jax and liala they can be a handful and she was great with them she was very patient . Amy was quick to reply when we would check on them and she sent us pictures of them i know our dogs were well loved and taken care of while we were gone we will definitely have her watch our dogs again in the future”
“Nicholas and Sara were great with our 2 girls. They were very diligent in getting to know their routines upfront and keeping us updated everyday. I’d def board with them again.”
“Jennifer was fantastic with my dog Cody. She sent pictures and videos daily and messages letting me know how he was doing. Cody hasn’t done well in boarding environments. On the way home from Jennifer’s he was calm and content. He also became buddies with her dog Milo. I will certainly be taking Cody back to Jennifer!”
“Natalie was great and really sweet. She took care of my cats well and even worked with me on a last minute request! If I ever need boarding again she will be my go to. Thank you Natalie!”
“Thank you Lindsy, my baby Millie had a wonderful time with you and your family. She came home happy and tired from playing and napping all day. I appreciate your accommodation and kindness, we will be booking again for sure, probably today!”
“Rachel is a wonderful carer for a dog. My dog behaved better under her care than under my own. She kept me very up-to-date on the progress of my dog stay, as well as pictures. My dog became fast friends with her dog. And I really cannot recommend her enough after Boarding dogs that I’ve owned for over 24 years. Our previous dog sitter had moved away and our back up. We were not quite sure about. I’m so glad I made this decision and I would do so in the future without any hesitation whatsoever.”
“Krysti was great! last minute I needed a dog sitter for a few days and she was very accommodating when it came to drop off and pick up times. She kept me up to date with photos, and my baby seemed to have a great little staycation with krysti and her family!”

“Ashley was absolutely amazing! Our pup adored her and looked forward to every visit. She was so accommodating we added an extra day. She sent tons of pictures, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We don’t leave him often, but knowing he was safe, happy, and cared for made all the difference. The comfort and reassurance Ashley provided were truly invaluable.”
“Carrie was a phenomenal help with checking in on my lucy baby! She was kind, communicative, and sent many pictures so I know lucy was having a good time 😊 Ill definitely be using Carrie in the future!”
“Emily is great! She was very attentive with our cats and they warmed up to her quickly. She loves animals and took great care of them while we were out of town. We def noticed a difference when we came home vs leaving them alone or just having a neighbor check on them. Would def recommend Emily and book her again!”
“We booked Haley a second time and will continue to book! She’s very thorough in her updates & sent pics and a video. Our Bella kitty has enjoyed her visits which is the best feeling to have someone we trust and Bella trusts too!”

About: I have 3 dogs of my own. All different sizes. I have dog sat in house and have done drop buys all through out my high school and college years. I am currently working a full time job 7-3 Monday-Friday. I am pretty much available everyday after 3. So puppies needing to pee in the afternoon I got you. I have a huge yard that your pets can play in with my three other pups. I can walk on a leash and crate if needed.
About: I have background in the animal control field where I was an officer and also work for veterinary services within gaston county. Your pet will be treated like family here, animals are a huge part of my life. I have had almost every possible animal, horses, cows, cats, dogs, large and small, chickens, pigs, and even fish. I love them all. I do work 4 days during the week but am home the majority of the time to spend with your furrbabies. They will be let out in the morning before I leave for work on those days and immediately after I've arrived back home. I only work 8 hour days and outside of that I'm home the rest of the time. My yard is not fenced in but i live on a cul de sac, horse pasture and cow pasture and tree farm on 3 sides .. i prefer to walk dogs on a leash while outside ( just in case) but if they seem to be well behaved and trust worthy i may play fetch with them and my frenchie in the back yard , there are only 2 houses on my road so we do have lots of privacy. Your furrbabies will stay inside with me.
About: Hello! I would be honored to spend time with your four-legged friends. I have had pets of all shapes and sizes throughout my life. I have puppy-sat with multiple families and currently work at a pet boarding/grooming/training company. Much of my time is spent 1-on-1 with each animal that walks through the door and I will use the same professionalism with your pets as if they were my own or walking into the shop. I have experience with basic training and some advanced training techniques, both from personal and professional experience. I am more than willing to adjust my schedule to cater to you and your pet's needs. I currently have two pups named Mia and Mowgli. They are going through their terrible 3's but are all-around terrific dogs. I've had experience with skittish/anxious animals as well as rambunctious ones, so no worries about behavior issues. In my opinion, communication is key, so I will be glad to work closely with you to ensure that your pet is as comfortable as possible in any and all situations. I am open and willing to work with any pet you may have and look forward to meeting you and your loving fur-baby! I am currently working part-time at the pet boarding facility, so I am open and available to various schedules. I understand that routine walks, potty, and feeding times are crucial to a pet's well-being. Therefore, I am willing to come earlier in the day or later in the evening. We usually start the morning with exercise and potty time. We have plenty of parks nearby as well as trails we like to explore. Positive reinforcement and making sure your pet is as comfortable as possible are things we like to prioritize. Services can always be adjusted to fit the needs of both you and your pets. As a safety precaution, I am also insured through State Farm.

I'm open to making my schedule more flexible if needed to be to accommodate you better. I cannot wait to meet you and your pet soon, hope I can make you and your pets experience with me enjoyable!
“Samantha is a great sitter. She was very pleasant when she met my kitties and one of my kitties who doesn’t warm up to folks easily reacted very well to her which was a good first sign. She followed instructions and addressed some concerns I have had with in the past with previous sitters. She was flexible when I was gone an extra day and I came home to happy kitties. I would book with her again!”
About: Growing up, I have always been surrounded by dogs and cats along with any other pet you can think of. My first job was pet/house sitting for a family friend every other month. Now that I am older, I recently adopted a dog of my own! I love taking her on walks, playing, and going to trails and taking her hiking with me! I also have experience with farm animals such as chickens, goats, rabbits, horses, pigs, and even donkeys! I currently work part time and go to college so there is plenty of time to ensure proper attention and play with your pets! I am available early mornings and throughout the day depending on work and school schedule. I am more than willing to accommodate differentiating schedules. I crate trained my puppy and she has acclimated very well. I will make sure to follow all pet parents schedules and preferences whether that be crate training or free roam.

About: I have always been around animals! I currently live on a small farm with chickens and goats along with my two sweet dachshunds and my bernadoodle! Although I do not have a fenced in yard, I live in about 15 acres and the dogs are free to roam with me while taking care of our small farm. I am a SAHM and have plenty of time to love and care for your furry family members! My fur babies are all spoiled and are treated like a part of the family. I live on 15 acres! The dogs are able to walk around with me freely or on a leash if needed! I have a bernadoodle that is crated at night and can crate your animal if that is what is needed for them.
About: I have never had a dog of my own, but have plenty of experience around them! I have helped family and friends with their pets on many occasions. I am a stay at home mom and I don’t go anywhere often, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I have a large 2 story house and a fenced in area. I do have my 4 year old son and 5 year old girls at home until they go to school in August so your babies need to like kids! I have a cat, but she keeps to herself on the completely opposite side of my house from any other animals that come in. If going to someone else’s home, I will follow all instructions left for me, and take care of your home and pets as I do my own! 🩷
About: I have had all sorts of pets all my life but dogs have always had my heart. Dogs are so sweet, goofy, and caring and I like to think that is my personality as well. I will do my absolute best to provide a fun and loving environment for any pet that comes into my home! I work from home so will be able to keep a close eye on any pet. They say that dogs are one of the best judges of character and I have no doubt that YOUR fur baby will be happy to stay with me. So.. let me give your pet a second home! I am excited to get this started and love away! I work from home! This makes it easy for me to keep an eye on your babies through out the day! I also live in a neighborhood good for walks and have a fenced backyard for exercise! I will care for your pets as if they are my own. I love to give animals love and cuddles. And of course they are welcome to sleep with me :)
“Took excellent care of my two dogs even though it was a last minute request. They came back tired from all the fun they had, i would absolutely recommend and will definitely request again when im in town.”
“Sarah is incredibly kind and accommodating. We initially had a meet-and-greet as Sunny can be shy and wary of new environments but in this case, she was taken with Sarah right away. Sarah was very understanding of Sunny’s medical condition and was super attentive and encouraging with her, and I appreciated how she took great care to make Sunny feel comfortable and safe. I loved that Sarah communicated throughout the day and provided quality photos and video of how Sunny was doing. One other huge plus was the amount of outdoor space she had available to sniff and roam. We’ll definitely be back and I would highly recommend her services!”
About: I am home full time and I love pets i would like to take care of your babies. I have own dogs all of my life and currently have a small chihuahua that is very friendly with other dogs. I’m available at any time look forward to working with you! I am home all day and I can take care of dogs anytime, and every day, I would feel useful and accompanied taking care of your baby, thank you. I can take care of them at home preferably, but I am available to help in exceptional cases, especially if it's in my neighborhood in kings mountain.
About: To be honest, I’m a helicopter mom to my German Shepherd. I spend extreme amounts of time on research to know he’s always receiving the best of the best. We train and exercise every day through positive reinforcement and at night snuggle in bed. I know that my attention to detail and love for animals sets me apart from other sitters. I hope you will let me be there for your babies Monday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I am home for the entire day and night. Me and my personal dog have a very strict routine for potty, dinner, and play/train. I am totally flexible in order to give the pet the most comfortable and familiar experience. Here at my home I have a large fully fenced yard with multiple different bedrooms if your per needs to be separated from mine. I also have a xl crate on hand incase the owners would like their pet to keep in a crate routine.
“Nico always loves getting to spend time at Kimberly's; in the pictures she sends, he always looks like he's having the time of his life! Awesome communication throughout the day, including photos of Nico playing with some of the other dogs. Definitely recommend Kimberly to anyone needing daycare or boarding!”
About: I have been caring for dogs of all sizes and ages for the past 20 years. I have always used a very simple approach to dog sitting. A tired dog that is engaged is easy to take care of. My property has lots of things that will keep your dog curious and entertained. I have squirrels that run around in the trees and moles that leave chutes in the ground. Outside my fence you will often see rabbits, deer and the occasional opossum. Your dog will love the new smells and occasional sightings of these animals. For physical activity I have plenty of long stretches for play and ball chasing as well as some basic agility obstacles your dog may find interesting. My semi wooded lot has lots of sticks to chew on. Your pet will be included in walks around the neighborhood and my local park. Having recently retired from corporate America I am looking for things to keep me busy and make use of my love of pets and experience caring for them. I also recently lost my dog to cancer and while I am not quite ready to adopt a new dog I miss having one around. I do not have a 9-5 so except for the occasional errand I will be around for your pet full time. I take the responsibility of caring for your dog very seriously. I attach a tracking tag to the collar of every dog in my care as well as an extra layer of security. Feel free to ask me any other questions you may have and rest assured you will not regret booking me for any of your pet needs. I am retired so with the exception of an errand I will be available to your pet full time. Pets are allowed on my furniture and bed. Please advise if this is a behavioral you are trying to discourage! Your pet will enjoy plenty of time outside and walks around my neighborhood and local park. I have a fenced in wooded acre. Your pet will be given free range of my home, but I will crate or contain them when I am away for their protection. I currently have no pets so your dog will receive my full attention.
“Our puppy had a great day at Amy's. He got along with her dog and she sent me photos of them playing. I was able to relax knowing that he was in good hands while I was at work. I would definitely book Amy again if I needed a dog sitter!”
About: I've taken care of different breeds of dogs up to approximately 40 lbs. This has included grooming, administering medication, walking, and light training. I have taken a training class at the Humane Society for dog care. I have also taken care of horses including grooming and training for barrel racing and showing. I have taken care of bunny rabbits up to 19 rabbits at a time. I am flexible in my availability. Although I prefer part-time, I would be willing to stay with pets or have pets stay with me full time for specific periods of time for one month intervals. In special situations, I would consider longer intervals (to be determined on a case by case basis). I have ample space to walk dogs on my nearly 3/4 acre rural property which includes grassy and wooded areas. At this time, my flexible schedule allows me to spend plenty of time devoted to provide love and care for your dog. Currently, I do not have a dog myself. However, I have had the pleasure of owning dogs in the past. Now I am enjoying caring for my 11 year old pet rabbit Zahara.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rabbits, horses, and some other animals. Taking care of animals makes me happy and being able to help others while doing something I enjoy is always a plus! I’m currently I a college graduate from Gardner-Webb University and am located in the Huntersville area. I am able to go feed, walk, and play with the animals whenever is needed or if they have a scheduled routine I will fit my schedule to those times as best I can. I have a terrier mix at home with me inside, a few chickens outside but they stay in the coup with the ducks! So I feed and take care of my animals around twice to three times a day, but I let my dog out every time I an home and in the morning before I leave and if I stay with someone else’s dog I’ll adapt to their schedule!
About: I am home everyday all day long, have 6 years of fostering experience with a rescue and 16+ years caring for animals. I can take any dog no matter what size! We also have a fenced backyard, so your pup will be safe and happy here! We have 4 dogs (2 are 15, 2 are 5) and they love all dogs and will play and snuggle with their new friend. We have had 27+ fosters meet our dogs and they got along with every single one of them :) We live in Gaffney on 30 acres so small hikes and walks are possible, and we have a fenced yard for routine potty trips. I work from home every day and I have 4 dogs of my own, so your pup will fit in just fine here! We have fostered over 27 dogs over the last 5 years, and our dogs are very well behaved so if yours is very young and needs help potty training, they will learn quickly from my pack! I love the ability to be home everyday in a senior role at work, so I basically do a lot of independent work - which means I can throw the ball in our fenced yard, potty train, snuggle, and ensure your pup has a fantastic time!

“Couldn’t recommend Susanna enough! I loved getting updates and pictures of my boy and I know he had a great time on his walks. Susanna is kind, trustworthy and truly cares about the animals!”
About: I have a 2 legged cat and I’ve had him since he was a baby. He requires a little extra care every day and it’s so worth it. Every night he lays on my lap and makes biscuits and I enjoy every minute of it. I’ve decided to pet sit full time and enjoy loving on as many animals as long as I can. I have several animals of my own, cats and dogs. What better way to make money doing what you love ❤️ I clean out my cat boxes twice a day. After they are fed in the evenings I play with my cats for a while. I put my dogs outside in my fenced in yard to go potty and then I play ball with them. My doodles favorite thing to do! Then I bring them in the house to eat and cuddle on the couch.
About: I live in a I don’t just watch pets, I get to know them. From learning their quirky habits to keeping their routines steady, I treat every furry guest like my own. I focus on creating a calm, cozy, and genuinely loving environment, so your pet feels safe, understood, and totally at ease. With consistent communication, personalised care, and a whole lot of heart, I make sure your pet’s stay isn’t just stress-free—it’s something they actually enjoy. Pet care is naturally set into my daily and weekly routine. I schedule my day around feeding times, walks, play time, and check-ins to ensure every pet gets consistent care. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to exercise, enrichment, and cuddles, while afternoons include potty breaks, supervision, and rest time. My schedule is flexible and intentionally designed so I can give every animal the attention, and time they deserve. When pets stay in my home, I create a safe, supervised, and comforting environment set to their needs. I maintain clean spaces, provide cozy rest areas, and offer play time. I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, and preferred activities, so their stay feels familiar and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep their routine uninterrupted. I handle feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, medication, playtime, and any specific instructions exactly as provided. I also respect the home environment by keeping everything tidy and secure. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on communication, safety, and reliable, compassionate care that helps pets feel calm, comfortable, and understood.

“Brooke did an amazing job! It was our first time using this application and wanted to find someone who our pups liked in the event of being long periods of time or going on vacation. The pups loved her (they’re a tough crowd) and she did wonderfully engaging with them so that they would get excited for their walk. Very grateful to have found her!”
About: When I was a kid I would walk my neighborhoods dog. I baby sit my sisters dog often and I had an ESA (Emotional Support Animal) but she passed away in July. I currently still have my 8 year old St.Dane but he can’t do much these days because of how old he is. I’d like to be more active and teach my kids responsibility and hard work. Just looking to help someone in my spare time is all. I had 2 dogs but one of them unfortunately recently passed. We love and spend time with our big guy. He’s my kids best friend.

“Ashley was great! Chang looked like he was having a great time in his pictures that she sent to me. I’m very appreciative of her being comfortable with Chang being old and having several issues. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Carrie took great care of our pit bull Sox in her home while we were out of town for a couple days! She sent daily updates with pictures and videos to assure us he was doing well. Her whole family gave him much love and treated him like their own. Will definitely be using her again!”

She was very well taken care of and he played with her, took her on walks and made her feel right at home. She is a high energy dog and he did fantastic with her!”
“Had a wonderful experience with boarding. Oakley came home so exhausted. Will definately use again. They were very communicative through entire boarding with rapid responses and treated my baby as one of their own.”
“Kirby was well taken care of. I got plenty of pictures and videos every day. I could tell he was having a good time and got plenty of fetch time. He came home happy and smelling great. Would definitely use Susan again.”
“I can’t say enough about Kendra. This was a first time leaving my sons’ dogs for an extended time, but Kendra made sure to keep my sons and I at ease with the constant updates and pics of our babies. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our pups were in great hands.”
“Nicole was great with my goldendoodle Kingston. She kept me updated from the time I left, and each day after. She sent me photos of him playing with her two dogs, and a German Shepard that was there one day on a play date. Kingston was well cared for, and judging from the photos he had a ball while there. He was able to run and play in Nicole's hugh backyard,and Kingston also had a dedicated room in her house to nap/sleep. Nicole is a fantasic sitter and I could tell that she loves dogs. I would definitely reommend her services if you need a dog sitter.”
“Nicholas and Sara were great with our 2 girls. They were very diligent in getting to know their routines upfront and keeping us updated everyday. I’d def board with them again.”
“Natalie was great and really sweet. She took care of my cats well and even worked with me on a last minute request! If I ever need boarding again she will be my go to. Thank you Natalie!”
“Rachel is a wonderful carer for a dog. My dog behaved better under her care than under my own. She kept me very up-to-date on the progress of my dog stay, as well as pictures. My dog became fast friends with her dog. And I really cannot recommend her enough after Boarding dogs that I’ve owned for over 24 years. Our previous dog sitter had moved away and our back up. We were not quite sure about. I’m so glad I made this decision and I would do so in the future without any hesitation whatsoever.”
“Leigh is the furfect sitter for our boy! She is incredibly flexible and responds to messages right away. Our original pet sitter canceled on the day of our booking, and we had to find someone last minute. We’re so thankful that Leigh replied immediately and was able to help us out. From the moment our boy arrived at her place, he felt comfortable and happy and he didn’t hesitate at all to start playing in her yard, which really showed us what a kind and welcoming person she is. Leigh kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed the schedule we provided perfectly and made sure he got lots of playtime and attention. Knowing that our boy was having fun and being well cared for made us feel completely at ease. We would absolutely book Leigh again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter!”
“We couldn't have found a better pet sitter than Lisa P. Our dog Petey has a lot of anxiety, but Lisa knew exactly how to deal with him. She sent us pictures every day of him and he looked so happy and relaxed. We are so happy we found her and could relax on our vacation and not worry about him.”
“We loved having Laura look after our Bodhi! She was very warm and receptive. Laura immediately connected with our Labrador Retriever and he never looked back as we were leaving him. She provided photos and updates about their time together and was flexible with pickup and drop off times. We won’t hesitate to call on Laura the next time we need pet sitting services.”
“Hanna did such a great job with my dog! She sent me updates while she was watching him and he had a great time with her. I will definitely leave him with Hanna again!”
“Jharasen was a great communicator and took very good care of Tucker. She sent me a picture of him while he was there hanging out with her kiddos and he seemed very happy. When I picked him up he was also very happy. I was initially very hesitant to use Rover since it was the 1st time using this service. So-I picked the person with the most repeat clients since that says a lot about their trustworthiness. I would definitely trust her with Tucker again.”
“Kimberly was excellent, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for pet boarding. She was very friendly and flexible with pickup and drop-off times. Guinness was well cared for and well exercised! I'll definitely use her services again!”
