Stay in the Queen City with a low maintenance pup!
Introduction
Hello! We're Hannah and William in Charlotte, North Carolina. We have one furry best friend, Lady. We have a new baby at home and love anything active and outdoors. We travel as much as we can with lots of hiking, biking, running, paddle boarding, scuba diving, and more! Our 11 year old Lady is not a huge fan of other pets and is stressed away from home, so we love having someone who can be in our home to love on them! She is a cuddle bug who goes wild for a walk! We enjoy sharing our home and love to entertain, so we hope you'll feel at home here too!
Show more...Home & location
We live in a 5 bedroom, 3 full bath home less than a mile from the heart of Plaza Midwood with great breweries and taprooms, restaurants, bars, and shopping. Less than 10 minutes from Uptown and NoDa, 15 minutes from South End. There's a great walking trail just across the street as well! The pups love it. The backyard is fully fenced and backs up to a church, so there's great privacy. Nice back porch, gas fire table, and kamado joe as well as seating in the backyard. Most guests stay in the king size bedroom with a softer bed, wall mounted tv, and reading area. Peloton in king guest room that you're welcome to use! The other upstairs guest bedrooms include a queen in one room and in the other - a twin size bed as well an office area with large desk. A second home office with dual screens is downstairs. We have a lot of plants inside and out! Would love someone familiar with caring for all kinds. More books than plants as well and you're welcome to read any! No cameras inside, but we do have cameras at the doorbell, garage, and front and back of house. Of note, listing states no children, but teens familiar with dogs are fine. As much as we love little ones, we prefer no one under 12 for safety around the pups!
Show more...Responsibilities
Responsibilities will be caring for Lady and experience with plants would be amazing too! There are quite a lot and a few may need watering while we're away but not all. Lady is our 11 year old. We always thought she was a malinois mix but DNA testing tells us she's a chow chow, pittie, shepherd mix! She does need about a day to warm up to new people and may choose to stay upstairs at first. As soon as she comes up to you for attention, you're in for life and she's the sweetest. She is not on any medication and is very much low maintenance. She would LOVE to go on a walk and may tell you so by nosing her leash and talking to you. We do allow the dogs on the furniture and she sleeps in the bed with us. She is just as happy in her bed though if you're not comfortable with that! She has been in my life for all but 6 months of her life and has my heart. She is not dog friendly and not appropriate for dog parks or restaurants where other dogs may approach her. Lady eats 1 cup of food at breakfast and dinner with a spoonful of pumpkin mixed in with her food.

Lady is to be treated exactly as a lady should be. You will have to let her come to you on her own terms. If you play hard to get, she is a perfect princess. However, if you pursue her too hard, she will want nothing to do with you. She is very uncomfortable with you on ground level with her as I tried to take photos. However, she never growled at me, she simply showed she was uncomfortable through her eyes and moving away, hunkering down. Anyone who can read dog language and look for lip flicks, whale eyes, lady moving away will know when she is comfortable and wants attention vs when she does not. She only did these things when I was attempting to take pictures on the ground, never when we were in the home or just normal day to day things. With that being said, she was a perfect lady with us bc we allowed her to voice what felt comfortable to her. She often came up for scritches and always came happily when we called her. She was a joy and we loved her! Lady was very low maintenance. She needs food twice a day, a walk, and a couple head scritches when she comes to you. She is very independent, but loves to talk. She will tell you if she needs to go out. The home was immaculate, and Hannah was a very gracious host. Her home and plants are beautiful.

We had the pleasure of housesitting at this lovely home, and while it was an overall comfortable stay, we do want to mention that the resident dog, Lady, exhibited some unexpected moments of aggression. At times, she would suddenly become territorial or defensive, which was unsettling, but it wasn't anything we couldn't handle. Despite these occasional outbursts, Lady was otherwise a sweet and cute companion. The house itself was clean and well-maintained, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches. (Thanks for the makeup remover cloth, Hannah!) We recommend this housesit to others, with the understanding that they should be prepared for potential random acts of aggression from Lady that extend past the first 24 hours.

Lady aka ladybug is just that the queen of this beautiful home. She takes a minute to trust you not in a bad way, the way a lady would. She was great and easy going to sit for and we loved winning her over on the first day. They were great hosts and would highly recommend. It’s a great central spot in Charlotte

Hannah and William were wonderfully kind and communicative hosts. They were easily accessible before and during the sit, and provided all necessary info to ensure I had what I needed to provide Lady with the care to which she's accustomed. Their home was clean and comfortable, with easy/close access to restaurants and great walking areas. And most importantly, Lady is super sweet and precious. She took a little time to get used to me, as Hannah had mentioned, but soon enough she warmed up to me and had the sweetest personality, loving her ear and belly rubs. Overall, it was a great sit experience and I'd happily return.

Hannah, William, and Lady were gracious hosts. Lady is a darling. She mostly took care of her self, as long as we took her 1 long walk and 1 short walk. The house is beautiful and organized. I had a great week I. Charlotte, and I encourage anyone to sit for this family.

Emily and Johnny were wonderful with our pups and went out of their way to accommodate a meeting with the dogs before their trip. They left the house spotless and went above and beyond with communication and taking care of our home. We really appreciate them watering the grass we just planted and taking the puppies for lots of walks! We would have them back absolutely any time and are grateful this sit worked out for us.

Katie was detail-oriented, kind, thoughtful, and overall wonderful with our Lady and our home. She asked great questions and treated us just like she would have liked to be treated. She was wonderfully patient with our fearful pup and left our home spotless. We would highly recommend her and hope to see her again soon!

Maranda and Keon were absolutely wonderful! They had great communication, left our home clean and tidy, and took great care of our Ladybug. They were patient, respectful of Lady’s needs, and she warmed up to them both quickly. The pictures Maranda took of our pup are absolutely gorgeous and I’ve been showing them off! We would absolutely have them back any time.
