About: I have grown up with dogs (Frenchies) for as long as I can remember. I have also been a volunteer at the local dog shelter for 3 years now where I had lots of experiences with walking, feeding, cleaning, and take care of the pups young and old (sick ones included) ! During that time, I was also a foster mom to two long term pups (Cooper and Knox) I am currently in school where I take classes M, T, W from 6:30 to 8pm. My days are free and I have plenty of time to take care of your pup! I am detail oriented and care for dogs as if they were my own. I will do whatever is needed of me! I will have a room separate of the living area for the pup to relax and acclimate in so they are not overwhelmed
“First time using Rover and Brittany. She did an initial meet and greet and came by one more time before services started since I was a new customer. Brittany communicated daily and sent pictures. One of my cats needed meds and she did all as requested. Would use her again and do recommend.”

About: I’m a 19 year old student at UNC Charlotte and have grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for animals comes very naturally to me. I’ve also dog and cat sat many times for friends, family, and others, including feeding, walking, playing, and overnight care. I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes and personalities, and I always make sure to follow routines closely so pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have classes in the mornings until around 12, which leaves me free for the rest of the day and evenings. I’m available for check-ins, feedings, walks, and overnight stays with pets throughout the afternoon and night. I’m also flexible with my schedule and can adjust to meet a pet’s specific routine, whether that means multiple visits a day or staying longer to make sure they’re comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I always follow their specific instructions closely to keep their pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I make sure pets are fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, and any other care they need like walks, playtime, or litter box cleaning. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and keep everything clean and organized. I also like to provide updates and photos so owners feel comfortable knowing their pet is happy and well cared for while they’re away.

About: Hi, Im Andrew! I’ve been taking care of pets my whole life with my family and we love them all dearly, sometimes... too much lol. We currently have two Golden doodles, a Pekingese, and 3 cats so we understand the attention and care each pet individually needs. I was born and raised in Orlando, Florida, played baseball for 17 years both Varsity Highschool and 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 Persmart 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! 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 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!
“Marina did a great job with twice daily drop-ins for 3 cats for 4 days. The cats where all comfortable with her and all went smoothly. She also seems to be a genuinely nice person. She is going to come by for drop-ins for my cats on my next trip as well!”

About: I’ve been working with dogs for 3 years now! I can care for any age, breed and size! I love playing or laying around with them, whatever the dog needs I will work with them! I am currently a college freshman but I am available over all holiday breaks for any sort of needs as my family and I do not vacation! I will care for whatever the dog desires, from laying around being lazy, being active in the backyard or tug of war in the house, as well as helping keeping the house clean from the dog!
“We just started working with Jamie and will definitely use her services again. We had to leave town unexpectedly for a family member in hospice. She eased our minds during a very difficult time. She was very reliable, our kitties loved her and she has a great personality and knows customer service. So thankful to have found her.”

“Brandy has been amazing and kept excellent regular contact while we were out of town. She's very trustworthy and dedicated to our little fur baby. We feel lucky to have crossed paths with her.”

About: Growing up, my family home was fondly known as a "zoo." Because of this, I am incredibly comfortable with all animals, from small, creepy-crawly critters to giant dogs. I have been responsible for animal care my entire life. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have farm-sitting experience looking after donkeys, goats, horses, and chickens (but I’m not limited to these animals). I started by pet-sitting for family, expanded to family friends, and am now looking to grow my business further. I am currently a college student with an open schedule for the summer. I am ready to look after your beloved pets while you enjoy your summer vacations! I am fully comfortable with overnight care. When staying at your home, I promise to leave the space spotless, water your plants and collect your mail. I am comfortable providing in-depth pet care, including administering medications. Your animal's health and safety are always my top priorities. I never put my phone on silent while on duty. I will happily send frequent photos and updates to give you complete peace of mind while you are away! My part-time schedule at Chick-fil-A gives me a lot of flexibility to care for your pets. I have every Sunday completely off, alongside 3-4 other full days open during the week. Because I am a natural morning person, I love waking up early and am highly dependable for early-morning feedings, walks, and potty breaks. I am excited to structure my weekly routine around your pet's specific needs! My top priorities are safety, consistency, and maintaining their comfort zone. I strictly follow your specific feeding, medication, and exercise schedules to keep your pet's routine like you never left! I also focus heavily on home security by double-checking locked doors and keeping the space perfectly clean. To give you peace of mind, I am more than willing to send regular photo and text updates after every visit so you always know your pet is safe and happy!

About: I have been taking care of dogs for years and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to adapt to each dog’s unique needs, for example, helping energetic dogs burn off energy through long walks/playing in the backyard and attentive care for senior dogs who might need a little more assistance! I’m comfortable administering oral medications, working with puppies on basic manners, and walking dogs that pull on leash. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care! As a college student home for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with your pets! Since I am currently not working another job, I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and feeding. I can accommodate most schedules, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and last-minute bookings whenever possible. My goal is to provide reliable care and make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I do have a secure, fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and exercise. I also have dogs of my own of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, which has given me a lot of experience caring for many different personalities and needs. I carefully introduce dogs when appropriate, monitor all interactions, and can separate pets if needed to make sure everyone is comfortable and safe. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special requests to make sure your pet feels happy and safe while in my care!
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Growing up we always had dogs/cats/fish. I am very active and love going on walks/runs. I'd be happy to have your pup tag along. I am familiar with puppies all the way to hospice senior dogs. More recently, we had to let our 14.5 years old bulldog go due to kidney failure. I am experienced in routines, meds, special harnesses, & subcutaneous fluid IVs. I work part-time from my home office. Your pet will always have me around for their specific needs, whether that is random cuddles, potty training, or special routines. I currently don't have any pets as we lost our dog Kinley in January. I live in a 3-story townhome with a minimal yard with no fence - but plenty of common areas and leashed walking space.

About: I have eight years of professional pet-sitting experience and a lifetime of loving animals! My passion started early—my first word was actually "Bam," the name of my first dog. I launched my sitting business eight years ago by caring for a senior Basset Hound named Baxter. Senior care taught me the tough lessons right away (like cleaning up lots of pee!), so you can rest assured that very little phases me when it comes to keeping your pets clean and comfortable. I’m currently home from University, and waiting to hear back from a few retail jobs I applied for. I’ve got a lot of free time on my hands, so, as of right now, I can petsit or walk your dog at almost any time of day! While I can’t keep pets in my parents home, I’m entirely willing to take your furbaby out for lots of play time, and leave every place like it should be… Even if the mess wasn’t mine.
