About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I grew up in a home where we regularly rescued dogs, so I learned from a young age how to care for animals with patience, love, and responsibility. Taking care of our pets was always a priority, and I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family I work full time, but my schedule is very flexible in the mornings and evenings, which allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for your dog. I’m able to provide walks, feeding, playtime, and attention before and after work to make sure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for. I’m committed to being reliable and making sure your dog’s routine and needs are fully met. When caring for dogs in their own home, I make sure to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and lots of attention to keep them happy while you’re away. I also make sure the home stays clean and that your dog feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for in their familiar environment.

Daniella did such a great job taking care of our cat while we were away for 5 days. She was very quick to respond to any messages and she was flexible and accommodating when I reached out last minute with a couple of extra requests. I’m so happy we found her and I would love to have her come watch our cat again!

Christopher provided great care to my cats while I was away for a while. He made sure to give them extra attention and love! I appreciate the updates on the rover cards, especially the adorable pictures he took. He always arrived on time to feed the cats. They seemed well taken care of when I arrived back home. One of my cats didn't want him to leave and kept wanting attention from him. Thank you for being there for the cats!

Serefina was wonderful with our 3 cats! They’re typically very shy around new people but she got them to come out on the first day and play. She sent lots of pics and we felt so happy that our cats loved her. Highly recommend for any your pet sitting needs!

Grace was absolutely wonderful with my shy boy! He took to her immediately and really enjoyed having her company while I was out of town. Grace has the magic touch with cranky older cats! She also took great care to keep the space clean and tidy. I would absolutely recommend Grace and will definitely hire her again when we travel!

About: I grew up loving and caring for dogs since my first pup, Madison, when I was 14. I’m the proud human to my current dog, Callie, who is a 4 year old cockapoo. I often watch my friend’s dogs and work from home so I’m always around and able to go on multiple walks a day. I work from home in west Charlotte so your pup won’t be left alone. I’m also able to take multiple walks a day :) I have a large, shaded, fenced-in yard with plenty of room to play. My neighborhood has sidewalks and a park nearby (currently being updated but reopening soon)

About: My experience is marked by personal and professional work with animals. I was the team lead overseeing operations at a dog care facility for two and a half years, where I worked firsthand with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperments in group play, one on one enrichment, and individual training sessions. I specialize in caring for reactive and behaviorally challenged dogs, particularly rescues. I am capable of administering medication in any oral fashion including gentle pilling, as well as supportive training, senior care, and providing baths (including curly fur types) and nail trims. I have a varied job schedule that provides sporadic extended free time, especially during the summer. I accept pet care clients based on my availability, so I am available for week-of bookings and advanced bookings. When visiting pets, I recognize that I am in their home and act accordingly. Prior to a visit, I make every effort to understand your pet's daily routine so that I can provide a stable, familiar routine while visiting. Additionally, I make bonding a top priority, and take time to get to know each pet I work with so that I can provide individualized care and work to become a trusted person on their terms.

Burgess was great! She was very friendly when we had our meet & greet and was great meeting my cats (it’s hard to find people who are good with cats). Due to one of my cats being on medication, she was great at being consistent with her drop-ins and my boys looked healthy and happy when I got home after being gone for 2 weeks. I’d definitely have Burgess take care of my boys again!

About: I'm Kaili and I’m looking for some wagging tails to fill my schedule! I'm a huge dog lover and always have been - with over 15 years experience I'm able to give specialty care to all dogs of varying breeds and personalities. Depending on you and your doggo’s preferences, we can go for long walks or take it easy and lounge in the grass. I'm available for walks, potty-breaks, excercise/play time and/or over night stays! I have experience with overly timid or anxious pups that require patience and gentle attention. As well as extensive care with senior dogs, who also require extra attention in their old age. I’d love to get to know you and your dog and help keep them company in anyway needed! I have a dog of my own and often care for my sister’s dog as well so I’m very well versed and have a schedule down pat. I can be home on the weekends for dog sitting and ample walks around the neighborhood. I have an unfenced grassy area outside my home and live in a neighborhood where I walk my own dog all the time. It’s pretty quiet and low traffic, but there’s also the greenway nearby for a longer / more stimulating environment.

I could not have asked for a better person to watch my dogs. I have never had a person outside the family to look after them, nor have I given a person access to my home. I recommend Ruben 100% and will gladly call on him again. My dogs took to him on his first visit that assured me I made the best decision. Thank you so much Ruben, it meant so much to me that you made my dogs and I very comfortable.

Grace went above and beyond in caring for our (sometimes spicy) senior kitty, Hope. She came twice a day, was totally on top of everything, and kindly helped clean up when our cats stomach was getting upset (happens when we’re away). She also really understood how to work with our testy girl, to give her space, and let her come to you. We’re very grateful to have found such kind sitter nearby!
