Pet Sitting Arcadia

“Emma was excellent and took such great care of my little dog. I felt comfortable knowing she was taking care of him and will use her again!”

“Meghan was great! I had a week long trip and was super nervous about leaving my cat alone. She came over prior to my trip and met Eevee. Of course he was a bit nervous at first but was asking for pets from her within 5 minutes. He almost never does that! It usually takes a day or two before he'll let someone new pet him or get near him. From that day, I felt so much better about going on my trip. She took excellent care of Eevee and sent plenty of pictures of him and a video or two. I would definitely book her again for my future trips :)”

“Kyleigh was so sweet and great with our dogs! She sent multiple photos and a note after each visit, which always puts me at ease! She also left us a sweet thank-you card and some treats for our dogs! I would highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 5 years, and I really enjoy it. I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes seniors, big dogs, small dogs, friendly, not friendly. I’ve also taken care of cats and other animals! I’m a student at Wofford College, which actually gives me a pretty flexible schedule plenty of time during the week to stop by for visits, walks, or feedings whenever your pet needs it. I’m also happy to stay overnight if that works better for you and your pet’s routine. Just let me know what you need and I’ll work around it! I’ll make sure to play with your pet and give them plenty of love and attention while I’m there. I’m happy to stay for however long you’d like so they get real socializing time. Just let me know what works best for you and your pet, and I’ll make it happen!

“Chloe did an amazing job with our dog!! She accepted our request very last minute, really saving the day. She was very communicative and provided lots of updates including super cute pictures. She was professional and detailed and really made us feel at ease. Our dog can be a little nervous around new people but with Chloe, she warmed up quickly. I would definitely recommend her to someone!!”

“I highly recommend Mehlayne to anyone looking for a caring, compassionate, and dependable dog sitter. She took wonderful care of my female Great Dane, Luna, and was very attentive to all of her specific care needs and routines. Communication was excellent throughout Luna’s stay. She kept me updated regularly with text messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing Luna was comfortable, happy, and being well cared for. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the animals entrusted to her. I felt completely comfortable leaving Luna in her care and would not hesitate to have her watch Luna again. I highly recommend her! Steve HEIDEL”

About: I grew up in a farm when I was little. I would feed the cows and the chickens in the morning. At the age of 7 I had bunnies and would take care of them. At the age of 8 I had my own calf as my pet her mother died so I fed her milk in the mornings. At the age of 9 I moved in with my dad and I started my dog loving journey. My love of dogs started with our first rescue her name was Nena. She was very playful and such a wonderful dog, that made me want to dogsit. I started dog siting at 12 and my passion for animals only grew stronger. I just now started my dog siting business again. I am currently in college for nursing. My free time is Friday through Sunday. I want to make sure all my attention is guided toward taking care of your dog which is why I dog sit Friday-Sunday. Your pets are normally kept in my room so that way my full attention is in them. I feed them according to their plan. From the time I wake up they will be taken outside every 2 hours to do their business. I also play with them if you bring toys. They have to bring their bed,food,food and water bowl. Toys are optional.

“Isabella was a terrific choice to care for our five cats. We appreciated her efforts to ensure our more shy, older cats were fed, while our younger cats devoured their dinner. She definitely met all of our cat sitting needs while we were away from home. We would gladly have Isabella return.”

About: I have had dogs all of my life since I was 4 years old. I didnt start to take up the responsibility to take care of them until I was about 7 or 8 years old. I have had a range of dog breeds and sizes in my care from a golden retriever to a toy Aussie. I love take care, play and just hang out with animals. I currently work as a middle school teacher so my summers are pretty free! Whether it’s a one day check in or a vacation, I will happily spend my summer with your pups! During the school year, I am limited to weekends only but would still love to spend my weekends with your pets! I will follow whatever needs you have for your dog(s) whether I have to house sit, walk, or just hang out with your animal for the day. I want to make sure you are comfortable with the care I give them.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I currently have a dog of my own, so I understand that every dog has their own routine, quirks, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs! Whether that means a long walk, playing, or simply giving them some company and attention. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I work Monday–Friday from 7 AM–3 PM, so I’m available for pet care in the afternoons and evenings. I also have weekend availability, so feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule! I have one friendly, crate trained and house trained dog who gets along well with other animals, as well as two cats. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different routines and personalities, and I’ll follow your instructions closely to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away so you know how your pet is doing.

“Emily was great looking after our 4 dogs! She always sent updates & photos after every visit. I felt completely comfortable leaving our pets in her care. We will be rebooking in the future!”

Shannon D.

“I’m so grateful for Caitlyn she communicated diligently about our babies. The updates and pictures made us feel so comfortable on our first time away from our babies. She showed great care and compassion towards our 3 kittens and remember all the instructions. Thank you again for excellent service!”

Ashaki J.

“Diego was good at maintaining communication throught out my vacation and letting me know how my fur babies were doing. My Bassett Hound who is usually wary of people was quick to like him which made me less anxious to leave them for a long weekend. Will definitely use him again in the future!”

Brittany H.

“Frances (Grace) was great to agree to do a drop in visit on short notice and to come by and meet my fur babes beforehand. My dogs who can be standoffish took to Grace pretty quick! Appreciate that I felt totally comfortable with knowing Grace was going to be checking in on my my dogs while I was at work!!!!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life. It all started at age 5 with Rosie, my sweet Shih Tzu-Poodle mix, and grew when our family adopted Judge, a Husky-Golden Retriever mix, when I was 12. Both dogs were my world, and losing them recently has only deepened my appreciation for the love and joy pets bring to our lives. My experience goes beyond everyday care. For the last two years of Judge’s life, he lived with me full-time. As a large dog, he needed extra support, I lifted him, pushed him in a stroller during his final months, and when he was diagnosed with cancer, I managed his medication and care with dedication and precision to keep him as comfortable as possible. I also regularly care for my aunt’s small dogs, including one with paralyzed front legs, handling their special needs with patience and love. As an active person who walks and runs daily, I’m happy to take dogs out for long, energizing walks or keep things gentle for older or mobility-limited pets. Whether your dog needs a slow stroll or a miles-long adventure, I’ve got them covered. You can count on me to treat your pet with the same love, patience, and attentiveness I gave my own. I have a flexible schedule and no current work commitments, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting on short notice. I’m in a transitional period before starting medical school in the fall, which means pet care is my top priority right now. Your furry family member will always have my full attention and time. My Home: My spacious two-bedroom apartment has plenty of room for your pet to roam and relax. We’re located right next to the West Side Highway and a large outdoor park, making bathroom breaks and long walks incredibly convenient. Your pet will have space, fresh air, and adventure right at their paws. Your Home: I will be respectful, tidy, and attentive at all times. I stick to your pet’s existing routine to keep them calm and comfortable in their own environment, treating your home with the same care I would my own. My goal is that you return to a happy pet and a home exactly as you left it.

About: Medication: experience giving oral medication to dogs and cats Exotic pets: experience caring for lizards such as leopard geckos and bearded dragons, fish, birds, and other small animals. Give me your scaly, slimly, and ‘unusual’ friends! Spa day: able to give baths if needed and trim nails! If you don’t already have nail trimmers just tell me and I can bring my own (I also have a dremel if your dog can tolerate it) Special needs: my own dog has seizures so I’m able to take care of any older/special needs dogs to make sure that they can get around okay and live life to their fullest! Playtime: Playtime is so important! I’ll always have time to play with your pets and provide them mental stimulation so they don’t get bored Currently I am working part time and will always be up front if there are certain hours I will not be able to sit for your pets if you book me for an overnight stay. Aside from that I do have doctors appointments every now and then, but these take no longer than 2 hours on average (usually closer to an hour) and will also notify you if an appointment falls on a pet sitting day. Other than work and doctors I am free! If any conflicts come up I will notify you well in advance to make you aware and try to give the best care possible Updates: I will text you updates during the day/at the end of the day as well as photos of your furry friends to ensure that everything is going smoothly and you’re in the know! Outside time: I will happily play with your dogs outdoors if you have a fenced in backyard or take the dogs on walks if that is preferred

About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and recently, ferrets—which I’ve been having so much fun learning about! I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life and have spent the last 10+ years caring for them. I’m comfortable handling medications, special needs, and more complex daily routines, and I’m always happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule and care instructions. Whether your pet needs extra cuddles, plenty of playtime, or a little extra TLC, I’m ready to handle it all! 🐶🐱💕 I currently work for the post office 6 days a week and with my route i’m able to get off between noon and 1pm every day. I have plenty of time in my day to help your pets feel more comfortable without their favorite humans! I do not offer service in my own home, but i’m very happy to come over to your pets home. I plan to follow every instruction and routine that the owners leave for me. It’s important for me to accommodate each pets specific needs.

About: I have a soft spot for all animals. The thing about me is that I can handle any size dog pretty much. Big guy animal lover My routine is pretty much working out almost every day so your pet can get plenty of exercise coming to the field with me. Caring for your pet is easy for me I pretty much make my own schedule. When it comes to Caring for pets in my home i stay alone and I have hard wood flooring. I am also open to learning how to care for a senior pet or special needs pet.

About: I currently have two amazing dogs, Oslo and Annie. Oslo is a Labrador Pit Bull mix. I have taken care of him since he was a puppy. Annie is a Pit Bull mix. I got Annie when she was 2. Both dogs love to play out back in the fenced in yard. What sets me apart? I had a dog with 3 legs and he required special care. His name was Kal. I had a dog named Charlette. She was very overweight when I got her and I helped slim her down by adjusting her diet and walking. I got Charlette when she was old. I took care of her until she died of old age. I have taken care of dogs that were emotionally and physically abused by their previous owners and I have a huge heart for helping dogs through those awful situations. My current dog Annie is a classic example of a dog that can be an amazing companion even after emotional and physical abuse from a previous owner. I also volunteered at final victory through the doggy day out walking program. I participated in the Mardi Gras Parade with one of Final Victory dogs and I have volunteered at the Final Victory Campus to help with cleaning doggy bowls for all the dogs. I can work full time any day of the week. I am available for walking services or staying at the pets home for as many nights as needed. I do not offer boarding services at my home due to Annie still learning that other dogs are a safe space and mean no harm. I care for my pets by playing fetch, giving treats, playing tug of war with a rope, feeding, bathing, providing potty break, walking, and socializing with other dogs. I don't trim dogs nails.

“Kira did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats! Highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs, you won’t be disappointed!”
