Who We Are

When you choose You x 2 Pet Sitting, you’re choosing an independently owned and operated pet care company led by experienced professionals who are passionate about animals. Founded by Sharon Boatwright, You x 2 was born out of a desire to provide reliable, trustworthy care for pets and peace of mind for their people. We offer a safe, guilt-free alternative to kenneling or relying on friends and family.

 

As a professional pet care company, we are fully insured and bonded. Every team member is background checked, thoroughly vetted, and extensively trained. In addition to ongoing education in pet behavior and safety, we are certified in Pet CPR and First Aid. We are proud members of Pet Sitters International, PetSit Pro, and are Certified Professional Pet Sitters (CPPS).

 

While our credentials set us apart, it’s our honesty, integrity, and compassion that truly define who we are. Your pets are family—and we treat them that way.

Pet Sitting Team vs. Individual: Why Choosing a Team Is The Best Bet​​

Guaranteed Coverage When You Need It Most

Life is unpredictable. No matter how reliable an individual sitter may be, unexpected events—like illness, car trouble, or personal emergencies—can prevent them from showing up when you need them most. This can leave you in a stressful bind, especially if you're about to travel or already away.

That’s where a pet sitting team truly shines.

With a team-based company, you're never left without coverage. If your primary sitter becomes unavailable, another qualified and familiar team member is ready to step in—no last-minute scrambling, no disruption to your pet’s routine. Your pet continues to receive the same high-quality care, and you get peace of mind knowing we’ve got you covered.

 

Pet Sitting Team vs. Individual: Reliability in Scheduling

When you hire our team, you're tapping into a pool of experienced, highly trained caregivers, each bringing their own unique skills and talents. This not only gives you more options but also makes our availability more flexible, ensuring we’re there for you when you need us—no matter the time or day.

On the other hand, with an individual sitter, you're limited to their personal schedule. After all, no one has an endless supply of time, and that can make coordinating care a bit tricky (yes, pun intended!). With our team, you'll never have to worry about unexpected scheduling conflicts or gaps in care.

 

​Pet Sitting Team vs. Individual: Variety & Socialization

Every pet is unique, and their care should be too. Maybe your dog thrives under a calm, assertive presence, while your cat enjoys a more playful cuddle buddy. With our team, we can match your pet with a sitter who best complements their personality and needs. Whether it’s a calmer demeanor or a high-energy playstyle, we ensure the right fit.

Thanks to our team-based approach, you’ll always have a primary pet sitter who’s conveniently located near you and in sync with your pet’s temperament. While many pet owners initially prefer a single caregiver, our primary sitter system ensures that your pet builds lasting relationships with a few trusted individuals. This collaborative approach is designed to meet your pet’s evolving needs and preferences, without disrupting their routine.

Additionally, having multiple experienced caregivers helps with your pet's socialization. Being comfortable with different people beyond their immediate family is an important aspect of your pet’s overall well-being. This is why we recommend starting early with our services, even when your pet is just settling in at home. Our team is here to help them adapt and feel at ease with new faces, making future care transitions smoother.

 

Pet Sitting Team vs. Individual: Enhanced Training & Expertise

At our core, we are a team of passionate pet lovers, each with extensive experience and ongoing training to ensure we deliver the highest quality care. We’re committed to continually investing in our team’s education, because we believe every pet—no matter their needs or location—deserves exceptional care.

Our professional pet sitters and dog walkers come equipped with a wealth of knowledge and hands-on experience. Whether it’s working with nervous or anxious animals, administering medications, or managing pets with specific health conditions, our team is prepared to provide specialized care.

This added layer of expertise brings invaluable peace of mind, especially for pets that require extra attention or have specific health needs—something a smaller operation with a single sitter may not be able to offer or prioritize. Rest assured, your pet is in capable, caring hands with us, no matter who is assigned to their care.
