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.

Our sit at Hannah & William‘s was great. The communication was super smooth and the two of them are very easy-going. The two pups are lovely with a lot of character and very fun to take care of. The house and neighborhood were perfect for us!

Housesitting at Hannah and William's stunning Charlotte home was an absolute treat and we wish we could have stayed longer! The dogs were our favorite part of each day - Duncan and Lady have the sweetest personalities. They have lots of energy for walks but are just as happy chilling in the house. It is almost impossible not to fall in love with them and want to take them with you. My partner and I both work from home and the house was an incredibly inspiring environment to work from. It has everything you need (including lots of books to choose from!) and is surrounded by all shades of greenery. The neighbourhood itself is amazing and we looked forward to exploring every walk we went on with the dogs. Communication was a breeze. We would not hesitate to recommend this housesit and hope to find ourselves back there one day!

Unfortunately, despite loving the beautiful Duncan and Lady (they are the sweetest pups), we wouldn’t recommend this sit for couple of reasons. First and most importantly, we saw from the beginning how William treated the dogs and hit one of them to calm him down. We did all we could to accommodate their time (the sit was supposed to be 9th March and we were asked to arrive 8th),We arrived on the night of March 7th due to our flight but received no appreciation for that at all and instead they expressed that they had issues with scheduling. Hannah responded positively to all our messages but ended up leaving a bad review because "we asked too many questions". We are not sure how our questions( which were very little) made them anxious. We tried to do our best to provide lady and Duncan with whatever they need. They were sleeping with us and snuggling with us in bed the whole time. Hannah and William left with dirty dishes which we ended up cleaning and organizing in the cabinets. Unfortunately, they were extremely upset from us for leaving 2 dishes in the sink after we left. We appreciate Hannah letting us use the perishable food in the fridge and letting us use her car. Overall, we urge the owners to be more welcoming, not hit their pups and communicate better with their sitters! We would’ve appreciated the owners asking us to do things in a certain way when we updated them rather than writing an extremely angry and baseless review. Thank you, Ibrahim and Sally

We had a wonderful sit at Hannah and William’s home in Charlotte! They are fantastic hosts who are kind, welcoming, and had their home prepared for our stay. They made us feel right at home. Their beautiful home is in a fantastic location in the Plaza Midwood neighborhood. The location is central to many restaurants and shops. Most places that we went were a 15-20 minute walk away or a short drive. We were here over the holidays and really enjoyed the coziness of their home! The stars of the sit are Lady and Duncan! They are two of the sweetest pups and we loved getting to know them. They both have distinct and fun personalities. Whether Lady was showing us her favorite toys or Duncan was giving us the biggest puppy eyes, we really loved spending time with them. We have friends and family in the area so we tend to visit Charlotte a few times a year. We would love to sit Lady and Duncan again! We recommend this sit to anyone looking to spend some time in a great city with adorable pups!

It was a joy to hang out with Lady and Duncan. Lady will look at you sideways in the beginning, but once she knows that you're there to be her friend (which happens within the first couple of hours) she will be the sweetest girl who will love to curl next to you on the couch. Duncan is a happy guy who will come to you right away to say hi and who loves tons of belly rubs. Hannah shared all the details about the doggies' routine, which is really easy to follow. Communication was great. The house is beautiful, spacious, modern, and comfortable. We were glad to be there around the Christmas season as they have a gorgeous Christmas tree (kind of like the ones you see at nice hotels!). We recommend this housesit.

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.

Brian was an absolutely fantastic sitter! He was very communicative and wonderful with the dogs. He Brian went above and beyond to make sure the house was left clean and even offered help to me carry bags on my way out the door with a baby. All so appreciated! the

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.
