Clay M.	I am currently a Junior at App State University, studying to be an economics major with a minor in fermentation science. I have always had a love for animals, I grew up with labradoodles, golden-doodles, and currently have a Shih Tzu. My first job in highschool was at North Meck Animal Hospital where I helped with boarding, grooming, and assisted veterinary technicians. I love all kinds and sizes of animals and will do the best job I can to ensure the safety, happiness, and wellbeing of your pets.
Joanna H.	I am originally from California. My husband and I moved to Charlotte 10yrs ago, and we love it! I worked for Trader Joe’s for 20 years and decided to make a little change. I’ve been very fortunate to have been given the time to be at home with our daughter, dog, and three cats. I have a senior pug named Tulip, she is 13 this year, and three cats! I want more! Haha I’m very excited to direct my focus on caring and spending time with animals, something that speaks to my heart a little more.
Justin W.	I am originally from the UK and arrived in New York via Hong Kong and Los Angeles because of work. I have been around dogs pretty much since I can remember. My parents always had dogs and cats and other animals. For the last 22 years my wife and I have owned English Bulldogs. Unfortunately our last one just passed at the age of 12, so he went from a 3 year old rescue to having a pretty good life. Still miss him dearly. Outside of dog walking I am a very keen sports fan of both British and American sports. I also am a very big advocate of clean air and support companies that produce air disinfecting machines. Basically I love dogs and having been a bulldog owner, I know nuances when I see them. I just want to make sure that any dog I interact with is happy and respectful.
Marisela L.	I am very energetic and high vibration. I’ve had experience wince young with dogs of my friends and family members. I’ve walk them to parks any place seeming fit to burn there energy. I’ve had the experience of dogsitting overnight with past encounters. I am driven to give best service I can to make the client also dog comfortable and very content. I love dancing with dogs teaching them tricks.
Frankie M.	I am very friendly person, tenacius and like adventures. Since very young I like to take good care and enjoy time with pets, could be my family's personal pet, or a friend's companion, but I always saw them as more than a simple companion, they are a family member and I will always treat them as such.
Mikaela L.	I grew up with golden retrievers and currently have a cat. I've walked all sorts of dogs ranging in size and value bonding with each individual animal.
Heather R.	I grew up with my big sister Lady, a Black Lab, who joined the family just months before I did. When I was in college, our family welcomed a Shepherd mix, rescuing Charlie on Christmas Eve, AFTER his scheduled euthanization (by grace, his paperwork had been misplaced) . About 5 years ago, my Dad adopted a Lab/Pit mix, Skipper. A petite Tabby moved onto the premises, became enamored with Skipper and took up residence as Kitty. A few years later, another pup, Bella (a Jack Russell/Boxer mix), joined the fam. These 3 are our joyful responsibilities when their parents go out of town ;). Growing up, I also had cats, parakeets, fish and a turtle. Charlie rescued a tiny kitten from within a bush, who became my and my husband's cat for almost 13 sweet years. Four years later, we're still missing Simba :(. I'm a Wife and Mother to 2. I hold a BFA in Graphic Design. Went back to school to become an Occupational Therapist Assistant, then found out I was pregnant with our first. Care-taking is in my genes- my parents were in the medical profession, Mom living 50 years with an autoimmune disease. As a child, I proclaimed a future in the Veterinary field. While I didn't pursue this, I continue to hold a deep affection for animals. This has translated into a rewarding "job" for over 2 years!
Eli S.	I have lived with and loved dogs all my life. I am still taking care of my pitbull lab mix who is turning 16 this year. I have also worked previously at a doggy day care so I have plenty of experience with all sorts of different dogs.
Trinidad E.	I have over two years of experience working with dogs at Daycare. I've worked as a kennel attendant, dog walker, and trainer. I truly love dogs. I'm currently a dog mom :D My dog is a four-month-old Cavapoo puppy, and I'm so happy he came into my life.
Haden B.	I have two Australian Labradoodle girls named Piper and Olive. They are my absolute best friends! We love to go on walks and play outside. When I am not hanging out with my dogs, I enjoy trips to the beach or staying home to watch a good show or movie.
Jenna C.	I have two dogs named jackson (sheprador, 8) and Kevin (pitbul mix, 6) who I love dearly and are both rescue's, Jackson actually coming all the way from Houston, Texas! I also have two cats named cosita (tortoise shell,2) and canchito (mixed ragdoll, 1) who are very cuddly and also rescues! My favorite color is dark green and pink.
Gerald M.	I pride myself in offering a unique experience during each walk and love the time I spend with my dogs during thorough walks that engage by doing occasional simple commands such as sit, heel and down. Dogs have always been a part of my life beginning with with a Shi Tzu growing up. Currently I have two dogs, who are Chow cocker spaniel mixes.
Morexi M.	I started out watching my friends' and family's dogs here and there and still do from time to time. I've had my Shiba since 2015 and have really gotten the hang of knowing what it takes to care for a dog. I sometimes help my friends out with their 4 very different pups.
Jenna O.	I'm a mother of a 1yr old toddler and 3yr old toddler. I own a 7yr old basenji/chow chow mix dog. I'm a certified veterinary assistant. Currently working on my veterinary technician degree. I was an intern about 13yrs ago at Miami Dade Animal Services while I studied Agriscience in high school. I was fortunate to participate in their Agriscience program where I was given the opportunity to work with livestock animals such as cows, lambs steers, calves, pigs, etc. and be part of FFA. At MDAS I assisted with cleaning kennels, scooping up poop waste, filling the dogs/cats bowls with food and water, doing laundry, taking dogs for walks or to the play yard area, assisting people with interactions of the dog or cat they'd like to adopt/adoption process itself, bathing the animals, etc. I've also done petsitting/boarding in the past through care.com and sittercity.com. I've had wonderful experiences and built a special bond with all the dogs and cats I've cared for. Majority of the dogs I've owned have either been rescues from the shelter or street strays. Overall, I have a profound love for all animals.
Sherry A.	I'm a retired court reporter who loves animals, and now in my retirement, I have the best job ever!
Ellen S.	I'm a retired professional who finally has the time to pursue my first love: animals! I've had an array of pets through the years and there's not much that makes me happier than a puppy's look of pure joy as he's leashed up for a walk, or the contentment of a kitty who's decided he can trust you to provide the perfect ear rub! When not caring for pets, I enjoy traveling, spending time with my three grandchildren, and working as a background actor for film and TV productions.
Heidi K.	I'm Heidi and I have a shy dachshund and a couple of ginger tabby cats. I'm an occupational therapist by trade and I love to read. I've been in Charlotte for 15 years. I love the Queen City!
Julie F.	I'm Julie and this is my pandemic puppy Abra, aka the love of my life! She & I love nature and going for long walks. I would love to spend some time with your furry friend also.
Christina M.	I'm originally from Miami, FL where my love for animals started! My first pets were fish, then gerbils, a cat and my first dog when I was 11 years old. My first dog Maxx was a Bichon Frise and a few years later we added Muffin a Toy Poodle to our family. My childhood dogs have passed but today I am a dog mom to Maggie a rescue and Maui a Samoyed. My pet sitting career started as a pre-teen when neighbors and friend started asking me for help. As an adult, I've done dog sitting in my home as well as drop in visits/walking. I will always treat your pet like my own!
Isabel M.	I'm your crazy animal enthusiast girl. I love all kinds of animals from small to big and all shapes & sizes. Me and your pet will be the best of friends. I have alot of experience with different breeds of animals. Can't wait to start this journey with you!
