OUR
AWESOME TEAM

Meet our team, the very best pet sitters to care for your pets.

Lucie and Monterey

Lucie

Pet Sitter International CPR Certified

Lucie is the owner of Charlotte Metro Pet Group.  She has lived in many locations throughout the U.S. due to her husband’s career and has happily and permanently settled in the Charlotte area. She and her husband have been married for over 40 years, have two adult daughters and have raised many, many canines and a cockatiel named, "Dave" over those years.

​

After starting successful pet sitting businesses in Dublin and Irvine, California with many happy clients, Lucie decided the growing South Charlotte area could benefit from professional, reliable pet sitting services.

 

She takes care of all the business matters so her pet sitters can strictly focus on pet care and servicing the client’s needs with excellence. However, she does love going out to do field work too!

​

Her philosophy is to treat client’s pets as if they were her own, and Charlotte Metro Pet Group's pet sitters follow the same philosophy. “We consistently want to make pet sitting stress free for the clients when they work or travel by giving the best of care while their pets have fun!”
