“My first experience was amazing! Adrienne ensured my little one was safe and cared for. She walked me through the process with so much patience. A bonus…she is an amazing pet photographer!”
“Annie was great! This was my first Rover experience and I was nervous but didn't want to leave my dog in a big kennel. Annie provided daily pictures and a quick update that put me at ease. She was also very quick to respond to messages. My dog seemed to have had a great stay.”
“Sally went for 2 1/2 days. She was happy when she got there. She was let outside in the fenced yard and immediately started to investigate the yard without looking back at me... That says a lot that Sally felt comfortable there. Thank you.”
“Anna was amazing with our dog! This was our first time leaving Dottie with someone else, and we couldn’t be more thankful to have found her. Anna helped Dottie feel more comfortable around other people and animals. She kept us updated regularly, letting us know how Dottie was doing. We’re so grateful for her care and attention.”
“Matt does such a great job of taking care of our 2 babies! We can rest easy knowing he is watching them. He gives great updates and both of our dogs run to his door to see him”
“Travis and Ximena did an amazing job with taking care of my pups! I had a last minute medical emergency with one of my pups and they had no problem accommodating/ taking care of him while I was away! I highly recommend them as future sitters for your fur babies!!”
“Leigh did a great job taking care of our miniature poodle for a long weekend. She took photos and gave updates on her progress. She responds very quickly and truly seems to love dogs.”
“Jennifer was great! I loved her communication and seeing the pictures and updates of our dogs while we were away for the weekend. We could tell that they were having a blast and did not have anything to worry about. We will be sure to reach out to Jennifer again when we have to travel.”
“Tiffany is amazing! She took excellent care of our pup, and we so appreciated the daily updates and pictures. I was nervous about leaving our young puppy for the first time but quickly realized I had nothing to worry about. She was in great hands and having so much fun at Tiffany’s house. I don’t think our dog missed us at all!”
About: What sets me apart is the deep, lifelong connection I’ve had with dogs. I’ve personally raised three pups from just six weeks old all the way through their senior years. Each one grew into a loving, obedient, and well-mannered companion, and I’ve been through every stage of life with them—from puppy energy to senior snuggles. That experience has given me a strong understanding of how to care for dogs at any age, whether it’s gentle patience with a new pup or extra comfort and support for older dogs. This is a truly dog-friendly home where your pet will feel like family. I have three kind and respectful kids who absolutely adore dogs and are always excited to welcome new furry friends into our home. Whether your pup loves to play, nap, or just follow someone around all day, there’s a warm spot (and probably a willing lap) waiting for them here. I don’t just watch dogs—I care for them as if they were my own. 🐾 Hi! I’m a school social worker with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District, and caring for others—whether it’s students or furry friends—has always been second nature to me. I’ve had a dog in my life since I was a teenager, and I truly believe dogs are one of the most perfect, loving animals on this earth. 💛 Over the years, I’ve trained dogs to go potty outside, sit, stay, lay down, heel on walks, and even speak when it’s treat time (a favorite trick in our house!). I’ve also raised multiple dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, so I’m comfortable with dogs at all life stages and energy levels. This is a dog-loving home, through and through. I have three kids who are gentle, kind, and absolutely adore dogs. There’s always a cozy corner, a warm cuddle, and plenty of love waiting for your pup here. Whether they want to play, nap, go on walks, or just soak up some attention, your dog will be treated like one of the family I do not have a fence in yard but it is partially fenced in. I do have a dog lead and I will always be outside
“First time ever using Chrissy for my 5 month pup she was wonderful sending pictures and updates on how my dog was doing . I loved that she was treated like a family pet allowed to not be crate all day , she was able to jump on couch and feel like home , play outside and join the other dogs for playtime . I highly recommend crissy care 5 stars ⭐️”
“McKayla and her family were so great! We got updates on our three furbabies with pics and concerns. When one of our dogs wasn't eating she texted us and found a way to get him to eat! I'm sure the dogs all loved being a part of her family and getting snuggles and play time when their humans weren't there! Thank you! We will be booking with McKayla again!”
“We had a great experience! Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and photos that gave us peace of mind. We would definitely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Hailey was an excellent sitter. I received pictures and my paw baby felt so comfortable with her and her paw babies. My Bella found a friend in her fur babies that’s for sure. I have found my baby sitter for my baby from now on. I would thoroughly recommend Hailey to anyone that is wanting a caring and loving baby paw sitter!!!! If I could rate her a 10 star I would! Thank you so much for loving my paw baby!”
“Absolutely fantastic experience for both myself and most importantly, my Hatch dog. Very communicative, kind, flexible, and sent wonderful videos and photos of Hatch playing everyday! Highly recommended Alexis for your dog sitting needs- you can tell she is a true dog lover and treats yours as her own. Thank you, Alexis!”

“Brenda took good care of big boy while we were out of town for a wedding. He had fun with playtime and felt very comfortable with her. I didn’t have to worry about our dog, Brenda didn’t miss a visit and was always on time.”
“Our first time using Rover and Katelyn really helped ease any worries we had going in. She took great care of our pup. All visits happened as discussed and really helped us have an enjoyable trip. Thank you!!!”
About: I've volunteered at a shelter with cats as well as rescued lost/feral. I offer drop in visits or boarding at my house. I will clean the litter box, refill food and water dish and play comfort your cats while you are away. I will regularly send you pictures and updates so that you don't have to worry about their well being.
“Lauren was so great with our pups! She was able to help us on super short notice and still made time to come over a day prior for a meet and greet. She was punctual and provided pictures at each drop in. Would absolutely recommend her and plan to use her again!”
“First time booking a house sitter for our clingy girl so I was a bit nervous but Jeni was phenomenal! Easy to communicate with, punctual, and loved the fun photos she shared with us. Came back to a clean home and happy kitten! Highly recommend her for a peace of mind 💕”
“I feel like we picked a wonderful and trustworthy person to house sit for us. She was on time, communicated with us during her stay and is just a really nice peron. We are repeat customers!”
About: I also have experience caring for cats and understand that they each have their own personalities and routines. I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving them space when they need it. I’ve cared for cats in friends’ homes and always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well looked after while their owners are away.
“Our German shepherd (Zeus) is a very anxious, does not like other dogs, does not take treats from people either, some may say aggressive but really, he’s just scared.we needed to find a person that could handle him, in other words know how to take the lead, show him “it’s okay” . We were amazed at how quickly she created a bond with him! Jack has the talent/skill and knowledge for taking care of big anxious dogs and sassy ones too. Recommend 10 out of 10. Now we can take vacations!!”
About: I have had animals in my life since I was a little girl. I am self employed and work from home, which blesses me with the freedom and flexibility to give both time and attention to your beloved. Between my husband and I there is almost always someone home to love and care for your furbabies. We know that your furbaby is more than a pet; that they are family. Know they will be well cared for and loved just like they are our very own. I've owned several animals from dogs, cats, chickens, pythons, gators, fish, birds...etc When I say I love animals, I love all animals. I've cared for and owned many dog breeds since I was a child from Mutts, Beagles, Labs, and a Chihuahua (who was trained like a lab). I've watched, and cared for other people's furry family members many times as well. I have also cared for special need pups such as high anxiety, trauma, stressed shelter pups, gave medication, and watched over elderly dogs. It's NO challenge to do what needs to be done to make sure ALL your loved ones great, small, and of different backgrounds, and personalities feel safe, secure, and loved. Since our beloved little dog passed we have chosen to not own any more but have plenty of love and attention to give to yours! We don't ever watch pups from different families unless owners tell us it's ok otherwise. So unless you say it's ok, rest assured that your pups will be the only one's in our care. Thank you for entrusting us with your beloved family member! We are both excited and honored to be able to give your sweet one's a mini vacation of their own while you're away. My husband and I are self employed and spend most of our time at home. While you're loved one is in our care, they will be our main focus and have all of our attention. We have a ton of space to be able to take great walks. Unfortunately it's not fenced so your pup will need to be leashed unless trained to not need one and personally told to not use one. We do our best to acclimate ourselves to each furbaby's personality. Some are super active so we make sure they get tons of playtime. If they are snugglers, they get lots of snuggles. If they like to just relax, then that's what we'll do. We just want any that are in our care to feel right at home.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Kershaw
“I was very happy with the care Sam received. Brenda is very patient and knowledgeable. Sam was very shy and she worked with that. He loved running with her. Her daughter was amazing with him. He followed her everywhere. He also got along with Brenda’s pets. I have already booked her again.”
About: I currently have 4 husky pups that are very well socialized and would love more friends to play with. I also work with rescue groups to help pups in need. I have never met a pup I didn’t love! I currently work from home. Your pet will hardly be in a create and will be treated just like one of mine. Many potty breaks throughout the day. I often get on the floor and play so they know I am part of the pack. Toys? Well let’s just say there is not a shortage of toys in the house. Every room we visit has a “toy box”. Treats? No shortage of those here either but, I like to make them earn them - like enforcing commands they already know and rewarding them for going potty. I have almost a half acre with a fully fenced in back yard. Your pet will go out multiple times a day. I also foster and rescue pups so I am very good with socializing new pups with mine. They have previously lived with smaller pups such as a Jack Russell and Yorkie and they loved them to pieces. They also attend “daycare” and “overnight camp” in order to keep them socialized. I also feel like meet and greets are important to ensure your pup(s) interact well with mine. Safety is my number one concern. As I have stated mine are well socialized and I want nothing more to help others socialize theirs as well. Safety is a top priority in my home. I do accept puppies you well you just need to message me separately is we can discuss. My yard is fully fenced in and almost a 1/2 acre. I stop my work day to play fetch it for them for about an hour.
“After going through a few people and having terrible experiences and can as say alexis brought my trust back in rover. She updated me about my puppy at every step to the point I felt like i was there with her. I absolutely loved that. My puppy seemed to really be enjoying her time with Alexis and her dogs. I will definitely be using her service again.”
About: I've had dogs my entire life and started dog sitting at a young age. I currently have 2 dogs and would gladly welcome your pet into the mix. I feel that dogs truly are our best friends so you can rest assured they will be well taken care of when they're with me. I've watched puppies, seniors and I've even watched a dog that just got out of surgery. I freelance as a photographer and I spend part of my day editing which means plenty of time with your dog! I will make sure your pet gets lots of attention and play time. I walk the dogs daily and have a TON of toys. I have 2 dogs that can play with and keep your dog company. I have crates if needed as well. Dogs will be leashed in my yard at all times but I have parks near by to make sure they get exercise.

“This was our first time using Rover and Leigh was an awesome puppy sitter! We will definitely be using her again, it's nice to know our dog is well taken care of if we need to go out of town.”
“Luna was very happy to stay with Kika on her first visit! Kika was easy to coordinate/communicate with, has a nice big yard and house, and is trustworthy and kind. I felt comfortable that Luna had everything she needed while with Kika and appreciated receiving updates. We will be going back. recommended!”
“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.”
“We left two our two Australian Shepherd mixes with Paola for the day while attending a family reunion from out of town and were happy with their care. The dogs were comfortable with her and enjoyed relaxing in her comfy air conditioned home on a hot day. She sent photos and sent them home with cute report pages about their adventures.”
“My dogs were happy and obviously well taken care of when we picked them up. She treated them with love and care as if they were her own pets. She stayed in touch by sending pictures while we were out of town and was very flexible with the drop off and pick up time. I use Christina again as a set sitter when we need to go out of town.”
“Boonie was very attentive, friendly and communicative. We did She sent me update and photos all day long to letting me know how my Barry was doing. This is new for us and I wanted to make sure my buddy was okay and having funny day. I highly recommend and we will use her again for sure. Thank you so much Boonie 🌺”
About: Hi there! I am a loving, active dog sitter with years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes—from energetic little pups to gentle giants. Dogs aren't just pets for me; I love "working" with them, playing brain games, and practicing fun tricks to keep them happy and engaged. I have my own beloved 13-year-old female White Swiss Shepherd. Because my sweet senior lady is getting older, I'm not ready to bring a new dog permanently into my life just yet—but I have so much love to give, which is why I would love to help you out with yours! My Home & Routine: Always Supervised: I work from home, meaning your dog will have constant company, plenty of bathroom breaks, and endless attention. The Yard: I have a great garden for fresh air and stretching legs. Please note: It is currently unfenced, so I always supervise outdoor time and use long training leashes for safety. Special Care: Because of my experience with my own senior dog, I am completely comfortable and experienced with administering medication if your dog needs it. What I am looking for: Since I have kids, it is very important for me that your pup is fully comfortable and friendly with kids. I can't wait to treat your dog like a member of my own family! As a long-time Rover user, I know exactly what goes into providing excellent care. To give you peace of mind, I would be happy to meet you before you book! And! As a photographer, I also offer a mini-photoshoot for your dog—in addition to the regular updates and photos. I am always at home. Our children are at daycare during the day. But they are already looking forward to playing and cuddling with your dogs and my husband works from home. I have a garden, but no fence. Your dog is free to roam throughout the house. I will go for three walks: in the morning, at noon, and in the evening. If it is very warm at midday, I extend morning and evening walks so that your dog doesn't burn their paws. Our dog will be kept separate from yours.
About: I love puppies and dogs!!! I grew up having mutltiple dogs and wouldn’t have it any other way.... we are a typical dog family (our dog is family!). That being said, Please let me know how I can make your dog’s stay with me most comfortable. I work from home so am home the majority of the day. Therefore, I can provide frequent potty breaks. The backyard is walled in and mainly dirt and patio. I have a silver lab and a corgi so any potential customers (insert your dog’s name here) must be able to get along with other dogs (mine are very energetic and playful). I am willing to take the dogs for walks but I mainly just let them run around the backyard and let some energy out. Hope to meet you soon! Currently we are in the middle of a move and I will not be readily available for dog sits possibly until after summer, but Please reach out if you are a past client as we will make it work for any of the dogs that we have seen previously. Usually I am home during work hours so the dogs get tons of attention. They also have my 2 dogs to play with. I have a fenced in backyard for play and/or potty time. All the pups go out in the morning and get to let out some energy. They also get tons of pets and cuddles throughout the day (from me and my kiddos). If your dog is allowed treats we also give a lot just to reward them for being so well behaved in the new environment.
About: We are a military family, we’ve moved around quite a bit and have opened our home to so many dogs in so many different states. I have 3 kids who are used to animals (especially bigger dogs). We have a private yard (unfenced, leads and leashes used and always supervised). We recently welcomed a dog permanently into our home so we do have one female dog in the house, she is crated when needed and very friendly otherwise. I’m home all day and would love a buddy or two to join us from time to time! I only ask that dogs are kid friendly! We don’t mind animals on furniture but will adhere to any at home rules you may set (if you don’t allow them to do certain things at home, I won’t deter any training and let them do it here and vice versa!). Crate trained dogs are preferred but definitely not required! Just know a lot of dogs may do better in a new setting by having their own spaces to retreat to! I’m a stay at home mom, other than school drop off/pick up & errands, I’m home to care for pets in my home or visit a pet in their home We treat all pets like they're part of the family. When it comes to caring for pets, I'm all about creating a cozy, safe, fun environment for them. From belly rubs to fetch sessions, I'd make sure they feel right at home. We live on a private road with plenty of space to run around. Whether it's a scratch behind the ears or a tasty treat, I'd give them all the love and attention they deserve. And you can bet I'd be sending you cute photos and updates to let you know they're in good hands!
“Before I booked with her for daycare, I could tell from her messages she was genuine and caring and wanted what was best for my puppy. I knew right then and there I wouldn’t regret booking with her, and I was right. She was attentive with my puppy throughout the day. She took him out for a walk, played with him, and ensured he got the exercise he needed. She was diligent with feeding him and attending to him, being mindful of his behaviors and actions to ensure he was good. She also sent updates regularly so we always knew how well he was doing. I am definitely booking her again.”

“Brenda was amazing with our pups! She jogged with our younger one, which can be a challenge but she was clearly up to it! Our older girl, she tried to walk her but she's not usually up for leaving the driveway when her routine is disrupted ?. Brenda is a great communicator, very punctual and clearly loves her job. Will 100% use Brenda next time we need a hand.”
About: Hi, I'm King Dre! Im new to the LA area but I’ve been taking care of pets my whole life!!! I was born and raised in Orlando, Florida, played baseball for 16 years both Varsity Highschool as well as 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 PetSmart 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 and may God guide your spirit in Jesus name, amen!!! 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 with all my soul 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!
About: I have worked in pet care for 10yrs now! including grooming, corporate pet care and more. I have watched every animal you can think of(horses goats, reptiles, fish, dogs, cats, ducks, chickens, donkeys etc so no animal is out of my comfort zone! I am also cpr, first aid certified with dogs! I do pet sitting around my main commitments, so i can work around specific needs if planned ahead so I’m able to give pets the attention and care they need. I also plan my calendar carefully to avoid overbooking and ensure each pet gets quality time. When I pet sit in someone’s home, I treat their pets and space with the same respect and care I would my own. I follow all feeding, medication, and routine instructions closely to ensure the pets stay healthy and comfortable. I spend quality time playing with them, walking them if needed, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I also keep the home tidy, bring in mail or packages, water plants if requested, and provide regular updates and photos so the owners can relax knowing their pets and home are in good hands.
About: I have been a pet owner all of my life and there is a special joy and comfort that only a dog or cat can give us! I think it is important for our pets to get daily exercise to keep them happy and healthy. I'm an avid fitness enthusiast and I love all animals so getting your dog out of the house for daily walks is the perfect fit for both me and your furry friend! It's a great way for your dog to release that playful energy while strengthening their health as well. Playtime is also important in keeping our pets happy and friendly! Getting out and throwing balls, frisbees, sticks, etc is one of my favorite things to do with my own dogs and it's another great form of exercise for your pup! All animals are precious and deserve all the love and care that they can get and I consider it a privilege for me to help you provide that for your furry family member!! I'm currently volunteering part-time which allows me a more flexible schedule which in turn makes it easier to accommodate to the scheduling needs of my Rover clients!! Every one of our beloved pets are different with wonderful, unique personalities of their own! I always offer and recommend a meet and greet to get to know you & your fuzzy friends & vise versa...as well a to taylor each visit to your pet's unique individual needs! (Eg, important medical information, personality quirks or anxites, etc) My goal is to create a dream vacation experience for your furry loved one; Full of playful fun & exercise; cuddles & belly rubs; custom meal plans with your choice of treats & toys to their liking & potty breaks galore! I love & care for each of your furry family members as If they are my own, & as a pet parent myself, I know the importance of having peace of mind by trusting that they are safe and in good hands when you are away! It is my promise that by the end of every visit, walk, overnight stay, etc....that your pet will feel Happy, Healthy, Full, Loved, & worn out from Fun!!!!!
About: I’ve had dogs as pets all of my life! Big dogs, small dogs aged from 6wks -11years old! Dogs are more than just a pet to me, they are family! I’m currently working full time from 8:30 am - 5 pm! I am available weekends and during the week operating around my work schedule! I also have a 4 year old son! I have a fenced in yard and 4 dogs who love to play! I can crate if needed inside the home! Your pets are allowed to stay inside!
About: I’ve had several pets growing up so I have years of experience playing and taking care of dogs and cats. I love going to the beach, park, or hiking so I can take the dogs with me on any adventures. I am currently working part time. I am available on most weekends to spend time taking care of the pets. I am pretty active so if the dog is high energy, I can take him/her out on a long walk/run. Currently, I live in an apartment with one dog. I can provide both at home or at clients home services as long as all house rules are given to me before hand.
“Maria was great! Communicative, friendly, and reliable, good with dogs. Handled our large skittish but friendly dog very well for a productive walk (and they had never met!). Such a help when we were visiting from out of town but away for the evening. Thank you so much for the good communication and peace of mind.”
About: I have had animals in my life since I was a little girl. I am self employed and work from home, which blesses me with the freedom and flexibility to give both time and attention to your beloved. Between my husband and I there is almost always someone home to love and care for your furbabies. We know that your furbaby is more than a pet; that they are family. Know they will be well cared for and loved just like they are our very own. I've owned several animals from dogs, cats, chickens, pythons, gators, fish, birds...etc When I say I love animals, I love all animals. I've cared for and owned many dog breeds since I was a child from Mutts, Beagles, Labs, and a Chihuahua (who was trained like a lab). I've watched, and cared for other people's furry family members many times as well. I have also cared for special need pups such as high anxiety, trauma, stressed shelter pups, gave medication, and watched over elderly dogs. It's NO challenge to do what needs to be done to make sure ALL your loved ones great, small, and of different backgrounds, and personalities feel safe, secure, and loved. Since our beloved little dog passed we have chosen to not own any more but have plenty of love and attention to give to yours! We don't ever watch pups from different families unless owners tell us it's ok otherwise. So unless you say it's ok, rest assured that your pups will be the only one's in our care. Thank you for entrusting us with your beloved family member! We are both excited and honored to be able to give your sweet one's a mini vacation of their own while you're away. My husband and I are self employed and spend most of our time at home. While you're loved one is in our care, they will be our main focus and have all of our attention. We have a ton of space to be able to take great walks. Unfortunately it's not fenced so your pup will need to be leashed unless trained to not need one and personally told to not use one. We do our best to acclimate ourselves to each furbaby's personality. Some are super active so we make sure they get tons of playtime. If they are snugglers, they get lots of snuggles. If they like to just relax, then that's what we'll do. We just want any that are in our care to feel right at home.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I currently have an almost 3-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer, a German Shepherd, and a rescue pit bull, so I’m very comfortable handling active, strong, and high-energy dogs. In addition to my own dogs, I’ve cared for friends’ dogs and cats many times, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to keep our pets on their routine and give them attention, patience, and a safe environment. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I am available in the mornings before work, during my lunch break, and after work in the evenings, which allows me to provide consistent drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and playtime. I also have more flexibility on weekends, which gives me the ability to take on longer visits or additional care if needed. I’m able to stay organized and reliable with my schedule, making sure each pet gets dependable attention and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, and any specific care preferences the owner provides. I make sure each pet gets attention, playtime, and comfort so they feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home clean and respected, making sure everything is left as I found it. I give regular updates so clients know how their pets are doing and can feel confident they are being well cared for.
About: I've had a love/passion for dogs since I was born into this life. Growing up, I've always had a dog in the house, so it easily became the norm for me. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds, including doberman, pitbulls, great dane, labs, boxers, beagles, and mutts. I truly love them all. I'm open to taking care of all breeds. I don't discriminate! One thing I will note is that I specialize in high energy/working dogs and am very familiar with larger breeds. Just to give you a quick example, I raised a Doberman from a puppy which led to me learning A LOT throughout the process. Doberman are a working breed and require plenty of mental and physical stimulation & I think I cracked the code! I’ve developed a deep understanding of what high-energy dogs need to thrive. I'm good at stimulating their minds, keeping them active and most importantly, happy. I'm not a certified dog trainer, but I do understand the importance of balancing their physical and mental well-being, and I'm dedicated to ensuring each dog has a great time with me! I'm very engaging and mindful, so whatever your dog may need, whether it's staying active outside or relaxing at home, I will do my best to provide. That's a promise. When it comes to availability, I am free at the moment. You can contact me any time and I will get back to you asap. I will make sure you feel comfortable with leaving your pets with me. To ensure you of this, I will send you daily photos & videos to show you how good of a time they're having! Also, you can give me a call ANYTIME. I know what it's like to drop my dogs off at a pet sitter's house, so my job is to give you the relief of knowing that your pets are in great hands. I can guarantee you this🙂
About: I've never met an animal I didn't like. I know how important it is to find a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter. I am a sucker for animals and have rescued all of mine. Your pet is the best judge of character you need! As a stay at home mom, I have a good amount of availability and flexibility to provide all the care that your pets need! I am very easy going and happy to accommodate. Besides the necessities like food, water and time outside, I believe it is equally important to provide all pets with plenty of attention, playtime, socialization, exercise, walks & love!

About: What sets me apart is the deep, lifelong connection I’ve had with dogs. I’ve personally raised three pups from just six weeks old all the way through their senior years. Each one grew into a loving, obedient, and well-mannered companion, and I’ve been through every stage of life with them—from puppy energy to senior snuggles. That experience has given me a strong understanding of how to care for dogs at any age, whether it’s gentle patience with a new pup or extra comfort and support for older dogs. This is a truly dog-friendly home where your pet will feel like family. I have three kind and respectful kids who absolutely adore dogs and are always excited to welcome new furry friends into our home. Whether your pup loves to play, nap, or just follow someone around all day, there’s a warm spot (and probably a willing lap) waiting for them here. I don’t just watch dogs—I care for them as if they were my own. 🐾 Hi! I’m a school social worker with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District, and caring for others—whether it’s students or furry friends—has always been second nature to me. I’ve had a dog in my life since I was a teenager, and I truly believe dogs are one of the most perfect, loving animals on this earth. 💛 Over the years, I’ve trained dogs to go potty outside, sit, stay, lay down, heel on walks, and even speak when it’s treat time (a favorite trick in our house!). I’ve also raised multiple dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, so I’m comfortable with dogs at all life stages and energy levels. This is a dog-loving home, through and through. I have three kids who are gentle, kind, and absolutely adore dogs. There’s always a cozy corner, a warm cuddle, and plenty of love waiting for your pup here. Whether they want to play, nap, go on walks, or just soak up some attention, your dog will be treated like one of the family I do not have a fence in yard but it is partially fenced in. I do have a dog lead and I will always be outside
“First time ever using Chrissy for my 5 month pup she was wonderful sending pictures and updates on how my dog was doing . I loved that she was treated like a family pet allowed to not be crate all day , she was able to jump on couch and feel like home , play outside and join the other dogs for playtime . I highly recommend crissy care 5 stars ⭐️”
“McKayla and her family were so great! We got updates on our three furbabies with pics and concerns. When one of our dogs wasn't eating she texted us and found a way to get him to eat! I'm sure the dogs all loved being a part of her family and getting snuggles and play time when their humans weren't there! Thank you! We will be booking with McKayla again!”
“We had a great experience! Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and photos that gave us peace of mind. We would definitely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Hailey was an excellent sitter. I received pictures and my paw baby felt so comfortable with her and her paw babies. My Bella found a friend in her fur babies that’s for sure. I have found my baby sitter for my baby from now on. I would thoroughly recommend Hailey to anyone that is wanting a caring and loving baby paw sitter!!!! If I could rate her a 10 star I would! Thank you so much for loving my paw baby!”
“Absolutely fantastic experience for both myself and most importantly, my Hatch dog. Very communicative, kind, flexible, and sent wonderful videos and photos of Hatch playing everyday!

“Our dog Gigi had a great time with Karlee and her kids. She was responsive to our texts and provided daily updates, which gave us peace of mind. We appreciated her care and attention! Thank you Karlee for taking good care of our Gigi♥️”
“Maria did a wonderful job with our 7 year old chocolate lab Rusty. Definitely would recommend and bring Rusty back in the future. She provided many photos and daily updates of our dog.
