Pet Sitting Austerlitz

“Casey was great watching my two cats while I was gone for over a week! Very easy communication and she sent me so many photos which was great for my peace of mind. My cats warmed up to her so quickly and the photos she was sending me cuddling with the boys made me know my cats were well taken care of while I was away. I’d recommend Casey to anyone looking for someone to watch their pet while they are away, thanks Casey!”

“Came home to a happy, healthy cat! Laura was great, she took care of my high maintenance, wild child while I was away even though he's a handful. Came home to a clean house, and she was nice enough to bring in my package from outside. Loved that Laura kept me updated daily, as it was my first time leaving my cat after recently getting him and the fact that he's an escape artist (she had no issues with him on that front though!), so I was a nervous cat mom. I'll definitely be in touch next time I need a cat sitter. Highly recommend!”

“I could tell how much Isabella loves animals and was completely confident that she would take the very best care of my baby girl. Willow was in good hands and I will definitely book Isabella again.”

About: I’m an experienced pet and dog lover who has been actively involved in animal rescue for 25 years. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of every type and temperament—from high-energy pups and shy rescues to senior pets and those with special needs. I currently share my home with two dogs of my own and remain very active with local animal rescue efforts. I work from home, so I’m available for boarding, daytime care, last-minute requests, and nearby potty-break drop-ins in the community. Your pets will receive plenty of enrichment throughout the day, lots of outdoor time, and a calm, consistent routine. They’ll have access to comfortable furniture, socialization opportunities (when appropriate), and engaging activities so they feel secure and stimulated while in my care. I typically accept dogs up to 40 lbs and can make exceptions for larger, well-trained dogs. I’m happy to care for multiple dogs at once when schedules and temperaments allow. As a lifelong animal lover, I genuinely enjoy the time I spend with pets and am committed to giving them the same attention, patience, and care I would want for my own. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and providing a safe, enriching experience they (and you) can trust. I work from home, so I’m available for boarding, daytime care, last-minute requests, and nearby potty-break drop-ins in the community any day of the week. As a work-from-home pet sitter, I offer flexible availability for overnight boarding, daytime care, last-minute bookings, and local potty-break drop-ins. Your pet will enjoy a calm, consistent routine filled with plenty of outdoor time and daily enrichment. I provide a secure and stimulating environment complete with cozy furniture, interactive activities, and opportunities for safe socialization when appropriate.

“I recently moved from NY to KY and was in need of someone to help care for my four dogs. I had spoken to many people and wasn’t comfortable with anyone as I had my prior dog walker in Ny for over 10 years. I found Tanika and she and I hit it off right away: she was super accommodating to my ever changing schedule. I was nervous to have my one rescue dog meet anyone because he could be unpredictable. Tanika came armed with treats and was relaxed and so easy going with all the dogs that he took to her first!!!! Tanika had been above and beyond amazing . She helps with my dogs that have medical issues and she is always there when and if I need her. She takes care of my dogs as if they were her own and I’ve never had to worry about them when I’m away. She is an absolute god send and I highly recommend her!”

I’ve helped my friend with everything from daily walks to overnight stays, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and understood. I’m patient with shy dogs, gentle with seniors, and playful with energetic pups. I follow feeding schedules closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure every dog gets plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, and attention. Whether it’s a calm walk, fetch in the yard, or quiet cuddle time, I adjust to whatever your dog needs. I also provide frequent photo and video updates so you can feel connected while you’re away. Your dog will be cared for with love, respect, and the same attention I would give my own. I’m currently a graduate student with a very flexible schedule. I spend most of my time at home, so I’m able to check in on pets frequently and keep their routine consistent.

I take safety very seriously and always follow your instructions exactly—whether it’s feeding, litter care, medication, or keeping doors secured. I’m calm, patient, and respectful of each pet’s space, especially shy or anxious animals. In your home, I make sure everything stays clean and comfortable, and I send frequent photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet with the same care and kindness I give my own.
