“Jeff was so good with our dog. From beginning to end he helped us have peace of mind about the care of our dog and the security of our home. He was flexible and understanding and Finn grew to really enjoy and trust his company. We look forward to using Jeff again and if you’re in need of a dog walker/sitter/trainer, Jeff is your guy!”


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

About: I've had and taken care of a wide variety of pets since I was little. Currently I don't have any fur babies of my own, but I've owned a Guinea Pig, and various breeds of goldfish and Bettas. I've also helped my younger brother take care of his hamsters, and I've had friends and family leave me in care of parakeets, a rabbit, and a dog that has been part of the family from the time she was young up into her senior care today. I enjoy spoiling pets with treats (usually fresh fruit and veggies), and I have experience dealing with separation anxiety, medication management, as well as any dietary supplements. Another thing to note is that I will always abide by dietary restrictions, and being that I'm so attentive, I'll always communicate if I detect something going on with your babies that we haven't previously discussed. I enjoy cheerful banter with furries and featheries of all kinds and will regularly send photos and video. I will also read to them throughout our time together, so if you have any materials for us, point me at em! (But of course I tend to bring my own :) ) Also, feel free to discuss with me anything you think is important such as; any triggers or behaviors, if they are higher/lower energy, or afraid of any specific sounds, this way I can properly keep your babies safe and happy! Currently, I'm at home full-time, as I've just relocated back to the Indian Land area from San Antonio, so I'll have an abundance of time to attend to the needs of your pets! And of course, I'm available for video calls if you'd like to check in or get some screen time with your babies. I will abide by whatever you feel most comfortable with. If there's a favorite park they like to hang out, I'm down for the excursion!

“Jen and her young daughter took care of Duke while my family and I were away for 10 days. Duke is usually shy , doesn't play or eat much when we anre away. Not this time! He was so happy with them! It's like he knew them for so long! Highly recommend! This is my second time using Jen. So glad we found her!”



“Lauren is very sweet and detail-oriented, she was very patient with my rescue dog who can be weary of strangers. Definitely hope to use her again in the future and would recommend to others!”

To ensure your dog’s safety when they’re with us I will make sure they are leashed when we go for walks. We will give your baby all the love and care they need.

My general attitude is that if I can't take my critters with me, I don't even want to go anyway- but sometimes, you have to bite the bullet. I look for someone who will treat my animals with the care and love they deserve, especially since they are all rescues and come from less-than-happy backgrounds. Karlee excels my high expectations! She is a gem, and I am grateful to have found her. Most importantly, my dogs adore her!”

Sofia C.
“Our dog, Gunther, absolutely loves his stays with Sofi. I am very comfortable leaving him when my family is on vacation. Gunther is a part of Sofi’s family when we are gone! I love that someone is always home during the day and there is no problem keeping him on his diet and schedule. He is always well cared for and I enjoy the frequent picture updates we get when he has his daily walks. Sofie’s home is clean and has a very safe fenced in yard. When we pick Gunther up, he never wants to leave!”

“While I was slightly hesitant about using this service in leaving my cat alone with a stranger, Emma made the entire process easy and made me comfortable in knowing that Suki would be in good hands! She provided me with pictures and daily updates to ensure my Suki was in a great environment. I will continue to use her excellent services. She is trustworthy, dependable, and responsible while giving lots of love to Suki!”
