Cat Sitters in Mecklenburg County, NC

Anna

Anna was a great house sitter. She was communicative, tidy, and took great care of our dogs. When we arrived home they were happy and it was clear she did a great job caring for them. We appreciate everything Anna did and would welcome her back any time! Highly recommend her.

Enogie & Isoken

Enogie and her friend Allison were a delight to have watch Sawyer and Finn. Great communication and I had no worries even when I was out of cell service the whole weekend. They left the house basically cleaner than before, washed sheets and towels and remade bed. Was a very nice gesture to come home to.

Matthew B

Well first of all, sadly our originally sitters cancelled on us a week before Memorial Day weekend. We were unsure who we would find on such short notice but then we got a message from Blake (goes by Blake - real name Matthew). Holy Cow we were ever so lucky!! After some communication, easily able to FaceTime then he booked his flight. Blake came a couple days before the sit and it was fabulous hosting & getting to know him. Then we left for the long weekend and the house & our dog Bruce was taken care of with 110% effort. Awesome updates letting us know how everything was doing . Our dog Bruce isn’t the “cutest or easiest” dog to take care of due to his sassy behavior with his barking but Blake was an absolute awesome sitter who took care of all of Bruce’s quirky personality traits. We came home to a great looking house with a happy dog. Blake will always have a place to stay or dogsit wherever the Barneys go. Hope our paths meet again

Natasha

Natasha was a brilliant pet sitter for my 3. She did not have an easy time with my elderly dog who came down with pneumonia 2 days before her housesit started. She was so good at keeping a keen eye on Basil and how the illness progressed. She soon realised when he started to go down hill (despite the anitbiotic course he was on), she took him to the vet and a second prescriptions of antibiotics knocked the pneumonia on the head. She cared for him very well, keeping an ear out at night that he was comfortable while also keeping my energetic chewing puppy in check. Amazingly I came home to nothing having been chewed that shouldn't have been, no mean feat! Natasha was very communicative when I needed her to be and self reliant between. She left the house in good order and kindly stripped her bed and washed the sheets before leaving. I fully recommend her to any house and pet owner.

Jade

This was our second time inviting Jade to house/pet sit for our 2 dogs and 2 cats. Jade is communicative and caring - I can feel how loving she is to our pets and respectful to our home. We are already hoping she can sit for us again soon!

Navil

Navil kept in excellent communication prior to arrival and during her stay. She was very capable and responsible in the house and multiple animals management. And she left a very tidy house with all the linens already laundered(!) It was so wonderful to return to a clean home, and happy animals.

Kathy

Kathy was wonderful from our very first conversation. She was very communicative and always quick to respond. My directions were followed to a T, she wasn't afraid to ask questions, and my babies were happy and healthy when I returned. Our home was clean and tidy! We really appreciated that after a trip away. We hope she'll sit for us again, we'd welcome her back anytime!

Tania

Tania was a wonderful housesitter! She was flexible, easy to get a hold of, and took great care of my pup. I'd be happy to have her stay again.

Cindy

Cindy took great care of our pets and home. She sent us hilarious messages about the chickens and her adventures. The pets were all very happy and content when we returned and Cindy was very accommodating to our schedule. I would be happy to have her sit again

Dustin & Lauren

Dustin and his family did a fantastic job of taking care of Mango and Coconut. I appreciated the updates and photos while I was away. I would definitely invite the family back to sit again.

Jenelle

Jenelle was a fantastic house sitter and had an incredible bond with our dog Figgy! She left our home tidy and clean with plants watered and happy. We will definitely reach out to her for future home and dog sitting.

Shay

Shay was a great sitter for Kobe. He is a large, high energy puppy and she had no problems with him at all. Shay was very responsive, sending me pictures and updates. The house was very neat and clean when I arrivied home. Everything was perfect and I would highly recommend Shay as a sitter.

David

We really feel like we landed on our feet having Kimberley and Dean look after our ‘little boy’ Huw.  We were newbies to having a house/pet sitter, but Kimberley really held our hand taking the initiative to set up an early meeting and responding quickly to messages. Meeting early really set our minds to rest. At handover we agreed every other day updates on progress which included a photo and a couple of sentences and this really helped us to feel much more comfortable that Huw was being well looked after. It was clear throughout that Kimberley and Dean had considered our profile details, taking Huw to some of his favourite places and also on some new adventures too … including introducing him to a Hollywood star! Their experience with animals, but especially dogs, shows and this helped hugely in understanding Huw’s personality leading to him having a great time - when they left it was clear that he was upset that his new friends were heading off.  Kimberley and Dean took great care of our house which was left immaculately clean.  Thank you both so much for befriending and looking after Huw.

Robert

Urte and Goda were truly ideal. When there were questions, Urte never hesitated to ask, and when not, I knew that things were in good hands the entire time. Kitty and Lucky were super healthy and happy after a four-month sit, which speaks volumes. I could tell that they were loved and cared for as if they had been with me, which is an enormous relief to find when you return home after such a long time. The apartment was in perfect condition and communication with Urte was always prompt and informative and when I requested "proof of life" kitty pics, she was always immediate with responses and pictures of the happy critters. Highly recommended.
