Hi there!

My name is Courtney, and I am the owner/operator of Charlotte’s Critters.

In the spring of 2022, I began pet sitting part time via Rover.com after working at a boarding kennel and doggie daycare. After just a few months, that part time work took off! I had no idea there were so many families in the area looking for someone to care for their beloved pets.

Working with animals brought a feeling of peace and fulfillment I hadn’t found in any other career field post-undergrad. Determined to find a way to continue doing this full time, I founded Charlotte’s Critters!
