Founders and business partners Carey Nickels and Alex Wilson between them have over 15 years of animal care experience.

Carey opened her first pet and house sitting business at the age of 19 in upstate NY.  She has been a foster parent and volunteer with GCSPCA since 2011. Carey has 3 great dogs and 2 happy cats.

Alex is the one of the founders of the Greater Charlotte SPCA and has worked in animal rescue since 2008. She currently serves as the president of the GCSPCA. She has fostered over 300 dogs during her time in rescue. Alex is currently owned by 3 black labs and has been trained to serve them well.

Both believe that all animals in their care should be treated like their own. They promise that they, and all sitters who work with GCPAWS, will provide quality, attentive service to both your animals and home.
