Bio: Hi! My name is Suzanne O and I am from Gastonia. In my free time, I love gardening and horseback riding! There are very few places in life that I find pure love. Some of those places are with the elderly, special needs children and animals. Their expectations from you are quite simple. Feed me, keep me safe and love me unconditionally. I didn’t chose this vocation, but rather it chose me. Everything about animals lifts me up and inspires me. Watch the love of animals for each other, that is the purest of all loves.

In my childhood, I grew up with a dog, cats, birds, bunnies, and many fish. I have been pet sitting for animals of all kinds for years and I LOVE it. My husband and I have dreams to open a “Bed and Breakfast” for dogs someday.
Bio: With over 6 years of pet sitting experience and a lifetime of loving animals, I noticed I had a knack for bonding with them and experienced great joy in bringing a little pick-me-up to pets while their owners are away. As an owner of two cats, I understand the worry pet owners go through when they are away from their loved ones. Even if for a short amount of time, l hope that I can bring a little peace of mind to these owners while they’re away from home!

Bio:
Hey! My name is Nichole. I’m originally from Colorado, I moved here to Charlotte in 2019. When I’m not cuddling with my cat Leo, I can be found baking all kinds of goodies or rereading one of my favorite books and drinking a nice strong cup of coffee. I’ve always loved animals and can remember even from a very young age wanting to rescuing kittens and dogs alike whenever I could. I truly believe that every animal, regardless of size, has its own unique personality and should be taken care of in the same way as you would a baby.
Pets: I have (1) dog (Pomeranian/Terrier Mix) named Rusty, (1) bearded dragon named Spyro, and (1) crested gecko named Swiper.
Fun Facts:
I was in a Navy JROTC unit for one year of high school (freshman) and a Marine Corps JROTC unit for the three remaining years of high school.
I’m a gymnastics coach at Carolina Flipz and I was a competitive gymnast myself, for 8 and a half years!
When I got my bearded dragon, I thought he was a boy for almost a full year, until suddenly, she laid 43 eggs!
Bio: I grew up all over the east coast, starting in Morgantown, West Virginia, then approximately ten moves later (FL-GA-MD), I landed myself in North Carolina, where I feel more “at home” than I have anywhere else. I’ve always been a huge supporter of the armed forces and after almost four years of Marine Corps JROTC, I wanted to join myself; however due to unfortunate circumstances, I’m medically disqualified. This forced me to give up the dream of mine to become a USMC Drill Instructor and allowed me to go down a different path towards a mathematics career. I’m currently working towards building up my skill set and hopefully I’ll be able to work my way back into the military field through a civilian position. In the meantime, I’m able to continue doing what I love by working with kids as a gymnastics coach, and of course, working with animals as a pet sitter!

I look forward to meeting you and your pets!
