Marie Pet Sitter

Marie

Pet Sitter/Animal Lover
Certified in Feline Communications

I am NJ native, most recently living in Cherry Hill, NJ. In 2011, I moved to Charlotte with my husband Bill, and our two kitties, Rosie and Rocket. My son had moved down here in 2006 for a job, and we decided to follow a few years later. We have been able to enjoy our grandchildren, and the more laid-back lifestyle down here. I have had cats most of my life, and love all animals. Sadly, we lost Rocket in 2014, and Rosie a month ago. So I am without a pet for the first time in years. While I’m sure there will be another cat or two in my future, I have decided to enjoy taking care of other people’s furry friends for the time being. I have volunteered at an animal rescue in the past and found that very rewarding. I look forward to caring for your pets; they will definitely get lots of “love and kisses”

Jessica

Jessica

Pet Sitter/Animal Lover 

My mom got me my first dog when she was pregnant with me and I have only been without one for a few years when I lived in an apartment. I then discovered a love of cats, because I just couldn’t be without a pet. I rescued my cat Keeva, who crossed the rainbow bridge in August 2021, at 20 years old. I have also had rabbits, rats, a hamster and fish. I have a great love for all animals and I’m so excited to be a pet sitter. My family is originally from Pennsylvania but we have lived here since 2017. I’m currently raising 3 human children and one Labrador child named Max. I look forward to caring for all your babies!

Hi, I’m Carla. I’m originally from the Football Hall of Fame town of Canton, Ohio. We moved to Charlotte 22 years ago & LOVE it! 

After working in the corporate world for 20+ years I am finally getting to do a job I love! Dealing with wags, purrs, rubs & lots of kisses is the absolute best. Growing up I had mice, gerbils, turtles, fish & dogs. Now my husband & I live with our 4 rescue kitties Chanel, Remy, Gigi & Bebe. (Pictured is my 18 year old Chanel & I in her favorite spot of the house -the screened porch!)

I am currently a junior in college, so I’m away from my sweet 8-year-old pit mix named Maya, but I do have a cat with my roommate named Ginger who is just as lovable. Animals have always been dear to me and have occupied a rather large part of my life including turtles, hermit crabs, guinea pigs, fish, dogs, and now a lovely kitty. I always look forward to my seasonal visits home, not only to visit my own family, but to help you take care of yours.
