Her credentials are what drew me to her and from day one (the meet and greet) I knew she’d be the one. Loki my male cat doesn’t warm up to anyone for at least a week of them coming around and he went right to her. He could sense her kind soul. I have never hired a pet sitter before this but I will definitely hire Taryn again. She went above and beyond. I had to have major surgery and was in the hospital for 7 days and it was comforting to know that my cats Stella and Loki were in terrific loving hands. Love Love Love her!!!

Justin was punctual with his visits to my pup and did exactly what I asked him to do. He gave her lots of pets and belly rubs, which she loves.

About: Since I was 12 years old I have been dog sitting at my home, dog walking, doing visits and assisting with South Charlotte Dog Rescue doing short term fosters. I have worked with dogs of all ages and have good experience with different needs and requirements. I am currently working part time and doing some fun projects. But I still have plenty of time for your pup. I am flexible on times and days just please communicate with me! I will provide safe, reliable dog walks and home visits while making sure your dog is happy and healthy. I will ensure pets have food, water, exercise, and attention, while keeping their environment calm and secure. I treat every pet and home with respect, patience, and care.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, whether it was neighbors or family, I always put forth the effort to make your pets feel loved and supported! I’m currently a student so I’ll have plenty of time to drop by and play with your pets, feed them, and walk them, if desired. I have two dogs myself, one thing I love to do is curl up on the couch with a good book with my pups! (I think they just like to lay on my legs.)

About: Imagine Mary Poppins and Cesar Milan (dog whisperer) had a love child...that's me! I've been loving and caring for animals from birth to the rainbow bridge for over 35 years. My relationship with animals is intuitive, organic, and informed. As a pet sitter, what sets me apart from others is my PASSION in providing care for animals with special needs. I have extensive training and experience in caring for puppies, seniors, and pets with medical conditions. I prioritize the individual needs of each pet in my care, providing tailored attention and ensuring their comfort and well-being at all times. With me, you can rest assured that your beloved furry friend will receive the highest level of care and attention they deserve. I know CPR, am comfortable giving shots, know how to administer rectal medication and can save your pet’s life if necessary. I'm retired. My time is devoted to loving on dogs. I don't allow more than 2 dog clients at a time in my home. The house is big enough to separate dogs, but typically there is only 1 dog at a time so that they get one on one full time attention. I will play and care for them as if they are my own flesh and blood. I never leave for more than 2 hours at a time to run to the doctor, grocery store, Walmart etc. I have a very large fenced in yard and a senior dog to keep your pet company. It is sunny on one side, which is a great place to play and on the other side it is shady. My home sits on approxiately 2 acres. They are more than welcome to lay on the furniture and especially my bed - that is if you allow that in your own home. My home is crate & kennel-free. So your doggie will roam free in the house and yard. Now, you can bring your own crate if your pup is used to sleeping in it or needs to be crated on the rare occasion I leave the house.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is I have taken care of cats, kittens, dogs of all sizes, and a bunny, this has lead me to learn different requirements and routines for different pets. I’ve always had a deep love for animals and would be happy to send you regular updates and pictures. I also wouldn’t mind watering plants or doing any extra cleaning up after your pet. I currently go to school on the weekdays from eight to eleven twenty in the morning and on the weekends I am usually free mostly all day. I have two cats at home, I clean their litter box daily and brush them often in the warmer season to keep them from shedding everywhere. They get fed breakfast, dry food, and dinner, wet food. And they have plenty of toys and two cat trees to play with and sleep on.

About: I’ve cared for fish, birds, cats, and dogs in my own home since I was 10 years old — 24 years of reading animal behavior and knowing what every kind of pet needs at every stage of life. Today I’m a federally-credentialed animal handler (USFWS Import License) maintaining a complex multi-species planted aquarium, and by day I own a licensed home services company in Union County. Married with a young son. Your pet gets a calm, attentive walker who never rushes a visit. I live two minutes from downtown Waxhaw and treat every booking like a neighbor helping a neighbor. My evenings open up at 8pm once my family is settled in, which means I’m available for that last walk before bed, the dinner-time check-in, or the after-work visit your dog can’t get from a daytime sitter. Standard availability: Sunday through Saturday, 8–11pm. Weekend afternoons sometimes open — message me. New clients: 4 hours’ advance notice gets you on my calendar, same-day if I’m free. Drop-in visits happen in your home, so my focus is keeping things exactly as you left them. I re-secure every door and gate, follow your written instructions to the letter, send photo updates during each visit, and keep walks on-leash unless you tell me otherwise. As a licensed business owner who runs crews on customer properties every day, treating someone else’s space with care is second nature. Background-checked through Rover, and happy to do a free meet-and-greet before your first booking.

I can not fully express my Gratitude to Brittany. She is an amasing person, and there was a full connect from day one with Jett, which makes her a great sitter. She was on top of daily routines, always on time and Jett had such a great time with Brittany. Jett and I we personally will be recommending her to anyone who has needs on leaveing their loved pawmily members under Brittany's supervision.

About: I previously cat/dog and house sat while living in NYC and Los Angeles. I walked the dogs several times daily, prepared special meals as directed and kept them company. With cats, I made sure their litter boxes were clean and they had their meals and water. I also administered insulin shots to one of my cats that I sat for. Up until recently, I had two senior dogs, a chi-weenie and a dachshund. The dachshund had back trouble so I took her to the acupuncturist and chiropractor, she also had chronic UTI so she was on medications. I would love to meet you & your pet! I am currently working outside the house - so weekday care might be difficult if you need someone at your home during the day. I can be available evenings and weekends, and depending on the specific case, I could make arrangements during the day. I can walk your pet around your neighborhood. I like to make sure that they have some reflective tapes/leash in case we're out at night.

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!
