“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!”
“It was a last-minute request, but she accepted. She followed the instructions given. When I returned back home, the pups seem very happy. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I love all pets—young or old, big or small! I’ve grown up with animals and have fostered dogs for over 10 years. I currently share my home with a sweet 7-year-old cat named Ziti and a gentle 14-year-old dog named Ellie. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and various breeds, and can administer medication as needed. I’m currently pursuing a graduate degree in nursing, so my full-time job would be caring for your pet, and I have flexible hours. I will treat your pet like family! My hours and schedule are flexible. I’m currently pursuing a graduate degree in nursing, so my full-time job would be caring for your pet, which would be around my schoolwork. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I give my own. I follow your instructions closely to maintain your pet’s routine, including feeding, playtime, medication, and any special needs. I’m mindful of keeping your home clean and secure. I’ll lock up properly, clean up after your pet, and be attentive to any changes in their behavior or environment. I ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and stress-free while you're away, and I always communicate with you to provide updates and peace of mind.
“Thank you so much! Gave updates and sent pictures.”
“Troy is awesome with our baby ( Hennie). I had to make a run and on my way back I saw this guy walking a brown dog. It was our dog! I couldn’t believe it! Our dog was walking and not pulling! I didn’t realize it was our dog! Lol Thank you Troy!”
“Jill is wonderful! Great communication, great pictures. Very helpful giving Roo dinner as well :)”
“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!”
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

Lauren S.
“Lauren is everything you could want in a dog sitter—responsible, trustworthy, and absolutely wonderful with our pups, Buck and Bear. Buck is our high-energy, wild herding dog who needs a lot of exercise and attention, and Lauren handles him with patience and skill. Bear is more reserved and enjoys playing, but also needs his fair share of snuggles; she has a calm, gentle way with him that really puts him at ease. Beyond being great with our dogs, Lauren is someone we completely trust in our home. She’s respectful of our space, always leaves everything clean and tidy, and communicates clearly and consistently. We never have to worry when she’s here—she’s reliable, dependable, and genuinely cares. We’re so grateful to have found her. If you’re looking for a sitter who treats your pets like family and your home with care, Lauren is the one!”

“I reach out to Michelle whenever I go out of town to watch my cat! He's still just a kitten so he requires a lot of playtime and attention but Michelle is always so willing to stay and play with him for a little each visit. In the past, I had horrible experiences with other kitty sitters. Thinking he was independent and didn't need much attention, they would feed him and leave, but Michelle understands what he needs and is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure he is comfortable when I am away. Thank you, Michelle, 5 stars!!”
Shelby B.
“Shelby has loved animals since she was little and has two dogs of her own that she takes wonderful care of.
