“Peggy was great with my baby girl! She made sure my pup had lots of plays throughout the day, and sent me pictures and updates. She was able to accommodate our booking request such short notice, which really helped us out. Peggy’s home was welcoming and had lots of space for my pup to run around with her pups. I would recommend Peggy if you’re in need of daycare!”

About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting for years and am comfortable with a wide range of temperaments, including pets with special needs. I provide a large, comfortable indoor space designed to keep pets safe and relaxed. I’m also located within a 2-minute walk of two dog parks, allowing for easy access to outdoor time and exercise. For convenience, I offer simple drop-off and pickup with the ability to stay in your car. My focus is always on creating a safe, consistent, and low-stress experience for both you and your pet. I work from home full time, which gives me flexibility to care for your pet throughout the day. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening needs, including late pickups when necessary. I can follow your pet’s routine closely and accommodate longer walks, provide alone time if needed, and providing them ability to roam large apartment. I can handle specific timing requests. While I have no back yard, I have access to multiple dog parks within 2 min walk from my back door. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment and stay fully attentive during walks and visits. I follow all instructions closely, feeding, medications, routines, and stay aware of surroundings, other animals, and any risks. My goal is to create a space where your pet feels secure and you feel confident leaving them in my care.
“Allison was AMAZING!! As if I wasn't already impressed with her reviews, our meet & greet confirmed that she will be our PERMANENT sitter for our fur baby Fendi!! He immediately clung to her, I loved the genuine heart she had for him as if he was her own. And on his vist visit with her HE ATE!! Which showed just how comfortable he was with her. She was very accommodating for a last minute sitting appointment which with our schedules is huge!! Thanks Allison!! We will see you again VERY soon!!”

“Amanda was amazing and highly communicative throughout the entire stay. She went above and beyond to help my anxious pup feel comfortable, which made a huge difference. I really appreciated her care and attention.”

“Amazing! Was so great with Peanut and making him feel comfortable and understanding his allergies! Sent me photos through out the day :) Highly recommend!”

About: I have lots of experience with petsitting and have 2 dogs and a cat of my own. It’s so important to be able to have peace of mind when you’re away and I will be the person you can trust with your fur babies. I will stick directly to instructions given to me and will never fail to please a client. I look forward to meeting you in the future! I have a very open schedule, I would prefer not to work on the weekends but if needed I can do that for your family! In my home I have 2 dogs and one cat of my own. The dogs sleep in crates most night and are usually always in the house or outside. I try not to keep them crated during the day unless I am not at home.
“Linett is the absolute best 10/10 service!!!! We cannot thank you enough for caring for our pup Fenway. Your flexibility, consistent communication, and attention to Fen definitely put us at ease. We appreciate you, and Fen absolutely LOVES you lol. We will be booking again”

“My dog Luna loves to come stay here! She is so happy when I drop her off and pick her up from Mia’s! Mia has been very flexible and does what she can to accommodate us. Also, expect great pictures of your dog having a blast!”

About: I grew up surrounded by dachshunds, so caring for dogs has always been second nature to me. While dachshunds hold a special place in my heart, I truly love all breeds and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with both energetic puppies and older dogs who may need extra care and comfort. What sets me apart is the way I focus on making every pet feel safe, loved, and at home, whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or simply cuddling😍 Pet care is just part of my everyday life since it’s such a priority for me. I’m usually free most weekdays and weekends, and of course I also make time for Tink. I take her to Skiptown a few times a week since she can be a stubborn little walker. I love going on the rail trail, and having a furry buddy to join me always makes it even better! I create a calm and relaxed environment with dog TV, provide plenty of love, treats, and give extra comfort to dogs missing their pawrent while they’re away.
“Adrienne & Jarrod are incredible! They are kind, responsive, and accommodating which made the experience stress-free. Through the numerous photos they provided it was clear that our dog, Harley, got along very well with Remy and received a great balance of exercise and enrichment throughout the day. Harley can't wait for her next stay!”

“Ana was great! She was very responsive and accommodating with scheduling. I so appreciated all the photos and updates she provided throughout the day, it was easy to tell my pup was having a wonderful time!”


“My first time having to get a sitter for my 5 month old pup baby. Tawanda and her pup baby made sure he felt like he was home. I can truly say he had a blast, it was more like a play date for him. He is worn out now, he came home and got in the bed and went to sleep, he played so hard. She took very good care of him as if he was hers. We stayed in contact with each other and she sent me a video, so I can see his status. I highly recommend her because if I need her service again I will be contacting to request her. 10/10 Thanks Tawanda!”

About: I’m the definition of a “dog person” — we’ve had several of our own, and we’ve been a boarding stop for friends and family for years. I’m not working full-time right now, so I have plenty of time to exercise your fur-friend, or just drop in for a visit! If you have any specific questions or concerns, I’d be happy to answer them! I’m not working full-time at the moment, so I’m available any day, at any time! Plenty of time for long walks or drop-ins, whatever your pet needs. Whatever you and your pet are comfortable with! I’ve dealt with tiny dogs and huge dogs, seniors and young puppies — they’re all special to me.
“Oriana was a fantastic caregiver for our pup Linus. She was very communicative and took some amazing pics of our little boy. Would def recommend for your furry friends!”

About: Certified Veterinary Technician with over 5 years of hands-on experience in both general practice and emergency medicine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority, and you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in skilled, capable hands should an unexpected situation arise. Behavioral modification training details upon request. I’m currently taking a break from veterinary medicine to focus on my family, which has given me more time to enjoy life with my loved ones and my own pets. While I’m grateful for this season, I truly miss helping others care for their pets and the fulfillment that comes with it. With 5 years of veterinary experience, I’d love to continue sharing my knowledge and supporting pet parents in any way I can. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. Each pet is ensured their own cozy kennel space for naps and overnight sleeping, providing a calm and secure environment. Fresh water is available at all times, including access to my large 3-gallon water bowl to keep pets well-hydrated. High-energy breeds receive appropriate exercise, including park walks to meet their physical and mental needs. I also have a yard available for outdoor time; however, it is unfenced and all outdoor activities are closely supervised. My home is a spacious duplex, allowing pets to roam freely indoors during the day while staying under my constant care and supervision. I maintain a safe, pet-friendly environment and closely monitor behavior, routines, and health. With experience in veterinary care, I’m attentive to signs of stress or discomfort and always put your pet’s well-being first.
“Ashly was incredible with our little golden doodle pup! We were very nervous at first with a sitter since we only had him for 4 days but she made us feel comfortable and safe!”

“Latrice was available last minute on Christmas eve/Christmas morning of all days. Was literally a lifesaver that she was available last minute on a holiday. My puppy was happy as could be when I picked him up and I could tell he was well taken care of. :) I would absolutely book with her again!”

We needed someone to watch Indie for the day while we were moving, and it was such a great experience. From the photos and updates throughout the day, Indie looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She even fell asleep as soon as she got home, which is always a sign that she had a fun and busy day! We really appreciated the communication and would definitely recommend Grace to others. Thank you for taking such great care of Indie! 🐾

Nia was so patient for me and Malcolm’s first pet sitter experience. I had a million questions and she answered all timely and helped me prepare for this experience and we discussed how to plan moving forward. Will definitely be bringing Malcolm again to help him get more acquainted with new spaces

Big milestone for Gus this week—his very first stay with Isabella, and it couldn’t have gone better. 🐾 About a month ago, we did a meet-and-greet so they could get acquainted, and today was the perfect chance for them to spend more time together and strengthen that bond before our trip next week. It means so much knowing he’s becoming comfortable, confident, and happy in her care. Isabella has such a calm, gentle presence, and Gus settled in almost immediately. Even though it was just a day visit, she sent texts and photos throughout the day, which gave us such peace of mind. The best part? Gus had such a wonderful time that he didn’t even want to go home. 💛 That’s the kind of reassurance every dog parent hopes for!

Tatiana was absolutely amazing! We needed a last-minute sitter because we were driving to Charlotte for a tasting, and our usual sitter wasn’t available. I scrambled to find someone, and very luckily found Tatiana. She was very accommodating and got us in with almost no notice. From start to finish, her communication was great. She has a wonderful yard space, and our dogs immediately clicked with her dog, which gave me so much peace of mind. Her dog is such a sweet gentle girl. She sent tons of photos throughout the stay, and I could tell our dogs were relaxed, happy, and having a great time. There honestly weren’t any issues at all. I’d definitely recommend Tatiana to anyone looking for a sitter not just because her yard is perfect for dogs, but because she’s so sweet, responsive, and truly cares. We’ll absolutely book with her again if we travel to Charlotte in the future.

I’m so happy I found her! My first Rover experience before this wasn’t great, so I took my time reading through all the reviews, and I’m so glad I went with Hayden. She had amazing reviews for a reason. She sent me multiple photos, and I could tell right away from my dog’s expression that he was super relaxed and comfortable. She was also really flexible with timing when I needed to adjust my pickup schedule. So thankful for everything. Truly the best experience!
