About: Hey there. I’m MizzRed and I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, senior pets, and even the little guys like salamanders, gerbils, and guinea pigs! Whether your pet needs belly rubs, playtime, patience, or extra care, I’ve got it covered. From energetic pups to wise old cats, I understand their needs and quirks. Your furry (or scaly) friend will be in loving, experienced hands! As a stay-at-home mom with kids in school most of the day, my daytime is wide open for your fur-babies! Whether your pet needs a midday walk, cuddle breaks, or playtime, I’m here to give them all the love and attention they deserve. With a flexible schedule and plenty of time for tail wags and belly rubs, your pet will feel right at home! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! In my home, they’ll get a cozy, loving environment with plenty of attention and care. I make sure every pet feels comfortable and secure, whether they need a quiet space to relax or lots of playtime. In your home, I respect your pet’s routine and ensure they feel safe while you’re away. I’m all about positive interactions, gentle handling, and keeping a watchful eye on every wag, purr, or zoomie! Trust me to treat your pet like family.


“Jasmine takes such great care of the girls. And gives great updates. Thank you for taking care of my pups and giving me peace of mind while traveling.”


“The dogs loved their walk with Kaitlyn. They were tuckered out when they got back and slept soundly while I worked from home. Perfect situation! Can’t wait for their next walk today!”


“Lauren is truly great! Our meet and greet was so warm and reassuring, and her communication has been impeccable from the start. She really took the time to understand that my dog has some anxiety, and I trust her professional judgment completely when it comes to handling that with care and confidence. Her updates are always solid and thoughtful, and I’m so excited for her to continue walking my dog. Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve been living with large and small breed dogs my entire life and there’s nothing I enjoy more. I’m very active and any fur baby you bring my way will receive lots of love and exercise. I have a part time job that takes me from house about 3 times a day for no longer than 4 hours at a time. In the meantime I have 3 amazing roomates who will also be entertaining and loving on your dog. I have a sweet 1 yr. old female lab at my house that is sure to also help entertain! I’ve worked at a dog kennel before, and I understand all the care and requirements dogs. Your dog will be loved just as much as my own! I’m currently working full time, but my job is extremely flexible, and I can easily adjust hours. I live a very active life style, and I love to go on walks. I’ve learned recently how much I don’t enjoy walking without a dog. When I have your pet, they will be my number one priority. As if they were my own again. I can only care for your pet in your own home (depending on the temperament and size of dog, this could changed). I have dog sat for most of my clients in their own home, and I would be happy to provide references! Every client I have had has been reoccurring and often refer me to their friends!

“Anvesha was great! Right on time, communicative and so sweet with my dog. She was so friendly and he took to her immediately! She also sent the cutest pic!”


“Great communication and wonderful with my little Yorkie! Will definitely be using her again!”


“Easy to communicate with and reliable on timing!”



“I’m so happy that i found you. I can’t wait for the Kane to open up more. I love the pictures. I love the communication it gives me a peace of mind knowing someone is taking care of him just like i would.”


About: Hi there! I’m Brandon — a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets, from energetic Pitbulls to tiny Dachshunds, and even reptiles and amphibians. I’ve volunteered at Blue Chip Animal Refuge, the SPCA, and other local shelters, including working with more anxious or reactive rescue dogs — one of whom is now part of my family! I’m always on the move, and I bring that same energy to making sure your pet receives the attentive, reliable care they deserve. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or just giving them companionship while you’re away, I’m here to provide calm, confident support — no matter the breed or temperament. Bonus: I have a special love for reptiles and amphibians (my favorite is my crested gecko 🦎), so if your household includes more exotic pets, I’ve got you covered too. Let’s make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! Animals are a great way to distress for me. As someone who is an avid hiker walker and runner. I enjoy bringing the animals with me and also entertaining them in myself with various games. We have a large yard in the woods. We have two indoor cats, two outdoor cats and currently a dachshund and a beagle. Take them on daily walks and usually get about 30 to 45 minutes playing in the yard.

About: Hi my name is Katelyn but I go by Nova! I’ve taken care of animals since I was around 8 years old and can’t imagine not having one with me. I now have just 2 cats and a bully mix. I’ve taken care of mainly herding mixes so I can safely say that dogs that are “a lot of dog “ are my specialty. Positive reinforcement based Training has also been a special interest of mine for a few years now and so I’m quite knowledgeable on that subject as well! I work full time pet sitting and dog walking! Because of this I’m pretty much always available to care for or walk your fur baby! I will care for your animals with the utmost care, responsibility, safety, and detail as if they were my own. I’m unable to provide boarding services at the moment but I still do pet sitting!

“Alyssa is great! My dog is always so excited to see her, and enjoys her time with Alyssa. She’s very communicative and sweet! I would highly recommend her.”


About: Hey, I’m Anthony! I’ve been around dogs my whole life — I grew up with them and now have my own little pup, Lily.. Taking care of dogs has always come naturally to me, and over the years I’ve helped a lot of friends, neighbors, and coworkers with their pets too — whether it’s walking, feeding, or just hanging out with them while their owners are away. I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your dog, and I treat every one like they’re my own. I’m reliable, easy to reach, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Looking forward to meeting you and your dog! I make sure to prioritize my pet care responsibilities by scheduling them into my daily routine. This allows me to provide consistent care to each pet and ensure that they receive the attention they need, even on busy days. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make sure to create a comfortable and safe environment for them. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, and provide plenty of playtime, exercise, and cuddles to ensure that the pets feel happy and loved while their owners are away.


About: I have cared for family, friends, and neighbors' pets since childhood. I have experience walking, feeding, training, and giving lots of love to dogs and cats. I am responsible, communicative, and mindful of your pet's needs. I like to be active, so there can be lots of walks in your pet's future, but I also enjoy cuddling up on the couch if your pet prefers to lounge around. I work remotely and full-time, with fairly flexible hours (occasionally going into a coworking space when not pet-sitting). I am in Charlotte most weekends as well. I enjoy taking short breaks throughout the day to walk, play, or cuddle with any fur baby. I live in a townhome community with a green space and next to a neighborhood with great walking paths. Overall it is a very pet friendly area. I live in a three bedroom/three story townhome with room for your pet to stretch out and relax in a calm and peaceful environment. My unit is very well sound-proofed, with no excessive noise from neighbors or other pets. I am happy to send pictures of the green space and townhome upon request.

“Ellie is awesome! She is helping us with 2 pups who can be quite the handful, but she takes great care of them. Highly recommend”


“So happy that I found Maggie. She got back to me quickly to schedule a meet and greet and walk all in the same day. My dog was really comfortable with her and had a great time on their walk. I received updates and everything went smoothly. I will be using Maggie for dog walking and more and have already referred her to a few local friends. Super happy that I found her!”


About: I had my baby for 10 and a half years and still miss him every day. I’m not ready to get another baby, but I’d love to provide trustworthy care for yours. I work from home, so I can do potty breaks and give medications as needed. Without any other pets or people in my home, I can provide all the needs of your dog(s). I work from home during the week, so I’ll be able to work around needed schedules. It is possible for me to be gone on certain days for 4-8 hours. I’ll do my best to take care of your baby / babies as you would. I had my 125 pound baby in an apartment, so I understand the need for multiple walks and finding places they can run. Pets are welcome on any furniture in my home.

Shneila L.
“Dropped off my dog and cat for the weekend—and I’m pretty sure they didn’t miss me at all. Not only did they get VIP treatment from start to finish, but they also had a blast hanging out with her kids! It was like a little pet-and-kid playdate the whole time. I got photo updates of tail wags, purrs, and even my dog chasing bubbles in the yard with her kiddos. When I showed up to pick them up, my cat gave me the “you’re early” side-eye, and my dog looked at me like, “Do we have to leave?” Clearly, they’ve found their second home. Definitely booking again (assuming my pets don’t pack their bags and move in).”
