Overnight Pet Sitting in South Charlotte
No kennel, no car ride, just their own bed
Signature Live-In Pet Care. I stay in your home and live in it the way you do, from the mail and the blinds to the morning and evening routines your dogs and cats already know. No kennel, no boarding, no car ride to a strange place, and a calmer alternative to boarding. In-home overnight pet care and live-in dog sitting across South Charlotte, Ballantyne, Matthews, Weddington, Marvin, and Waxhaw.
Included With Every Stay
all of it, every night
One flat nightly rate covers both the pet care and the house care. Nothing here is an add-on.
Overnight Company
I sleep in your home, so your pets aren’t alone at two in the morning. For anxious pets and senior dogs, this is the whole point, and it’s the gentlest alternative to boarding.
Walks Morning Through Evening
Multiple walks and potty breaks across the day, on the schedule your dog is used to rather than a fixed visit window.
Feeding and Medication
Meals on time, fresh water, and any pills, drops, or injections handled exactly as written in your intake packet.
Playtime and Enrichment
One-on-one attention, plus litter box care and quiet company for the cats in the house.
Mail, Packages, and Trash
I bring in mail and packages, put bins out on collection day and bring them back in, open the blinds in the morning, and close them at night.
Daily Photo and Text Updates
Every day you’re gone. You’ll know how the night went before you’ve finished your coffee.
Overnight Rates
one flat rate, nothing hidden
One flat nightly rate covers both the pet care and the house care, whether it’s a weekend away or two weeks of vacation pet sitting. Your exact rate is confirmed at the free meet-and-greet, once I’ve met your pets and know what their days look like.
From$110per night
Up to three pets per household
Holidays and school breaks book first, so reach out early for those dates.
What a Day in Your Home Might Look Like
morning to lights out
Roughly how a stay runs, though the real schedule is yours. We build it together at the meet-and-greet.
Morning
Up, Out, and Fed
First walk of the day, breakfast measured your way, morning medication, fresh water, and blinds open. Litter boxes scooped.
Midday
Errands, Then Back Home
If I step out, your pets get a potty break first, and I’m back within a few hours. If your pets shouldn’t be left at all, tell me at the meet-and-greet, and I’ll plan around it.
Afternoon
Play, Brush, and Rest
Fetch in the yard, a puzzle toy, a good brushing, or a nap on the couch with the TV on. Mail and packages come in, and bins go out if it’s collection day.
Evening
Dinner and a Last Walk
Evening meal, evening medication, and a final walk before bed. Your daily photo and text update goes out around here.
Overnight
Someone in the House
Lights and blinds as you’d have them, doors locked, and your pets sleeping where they always sleep, with company down the hall if they need it.
Your Home, Looked After Too
lived-in, not empty
An empty house looks empty from the street. A lived-in one doesn’t. Basic home care is part of every stay, not an upcharge.
- Mail and packages brought in daily
- Trash and recycling out on collection day, and back after
- Blinds opened in the morning, closed at night
- Lights rotated so the house looks occupied
- Plants watered on your schedule
- A text if something looks wrong, from a leak to a package that never arrived
Good to Know
a few details worth settling
A few things worth settling before your first stay.
Both Sides of the State Line
Overnight stays cover South Charlotte, Ballantyne, Matthews, Weddington, Marvin, and Waxhaw in North Carolina, plus Fort Mill and Rock Hill in South Carolina. Stays more than 20 miles from Matthews add a small travel fee.
No Retractable Leashes
For the safety of every pet in my care, I don’t use retractable leashes. Please have a standard leash, harness, martingale, or gentle leader available.
Codes Are Shared in Person
I never collect alarm codes, lockbox combinations, or Wi-Fi passwords through an online form. You’ll share those at the meet-and-greet, or write them on the printed packet.
