About me

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. I’ve had an affinity for working with animals for as long as I can remember. That affinity, combined with the interest for professional sitters in the area, made going full-time and founding Charlotte’s Critters the most logical next step!
