People in the Charlotte area who have pets, you have to give this service a call. We have a large maine coon cat, and we just moved to the Charlotte area from New York. We don't have family down here so we needed a service to take care of the fat cat when we take trips, and this service is the best you can get. They seriously go above and beyond for you and your animals. They have different levels of services you can do, but while we were back in New York we had them come by once a day. For $16 a day they fed our cat, changed his litterbox, played with him for at least a half hour (mostly they spend close to a full hour), got our mail and watered plants. They even keep a log of each visit, telling you what they did and what your pet was up to (or into!) This may sound like TMI but you will be so happy to read it when you come home ;) The company is owned by two women named Jen and Bonnie, who are both so sweet and caring. They generally love animals and are careful about who they hire so you can be assured that your pets will be looked after with care.
