Cat Sitting in Burnt Hickory Farms

“Valeria was great! She watched our two dogs when we were out of town. Stopped in in the morning & night, gave food/water, played outside and gave our older dog his meds. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I was raised with animals of all sizes and personalities over the past 15 years, and I truly understand the level of patience, attention, and love pets need to feel safe and cared for. To me, pets are family — each with their own routines, energy, and unique personality that deserve to be respected and understood. Whether it’s long walks on local nature trails, engaging playtime, feeding routines, medication reminders, or simply providing calm companionship during home check-ins, I focus on creating a comfortable and positive experience tailored to your pet’s individual needs. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure your furry companion feels secure, joyful, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I also understand how important communication is when trusting someone with your pet, so I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins as often as you'd like! :) I am more flexible on weekends than on weekdays! Before 9 am or after 3 pm is preferred on weekdays in June! I will have plenty of time to dedicate to walking or caring for your pet in-home up to 3x daily! My pets always had a large backyard to explore and a home-cooked meal to devour! In your home, I stick closely to protocols familiar to your pet. I can bring toys and health-conscious treats as needed. A clean space will be maintained in addition to lots of love and attention! <3

About: I’ve been pet/house sitting for the last couple of years. The most animals I’ve worked with at one time is 4. I’m great with a schedule if your pet needs it. I love all pets and I can’t wait to get to know yours! I’m available most of the time I’m not working right now so the only time I won’t be free are for personal matters. I am looking for new work so this may change. I have worked with both larger and smaller dogs. If they are still working in training I can continue to work with them on what they know. I have helped train in the past but I haven’t done any primary training myself.

“Checked in every scheduled day at the time she said she would! Thank you!”

“Leylah was truly the best decision for our dogs! They were so kind, thoughtful and loved on them the same way we do! She allowed us to be able to enjoy our time away and feel at peace knowing that they were so well taken care of! Will 1000% use Leylah in the future!!!”

“Christina is wonderful! Our cat is very funny with people and has had trouble bonding with pet sitters in the past, but not Christina! She bonded with Ashe and took great care of her. She was very organized and communicative. I highly recommend Christina.”

About: I have years of experience caring for a wide variety of dog breeds, as well as cats. From high-energy playtime and daily walks to providing the gentle, attentive care that senior dogs need, I know how to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable. Neighbors, friends, and family have always trusted me to feed, walk, and look after their furry family members. I maintain a flexible part-time routine, which gives me plenty of dedicated time to focus on your pets! I am fully available for weekend boarding, and on weekdays, I am ready to step in for walks, playtime, and companionship anytime after 2:00 PM. Because my schedule is highly predictable, you can count on consistent routines and timely updates for your furry family members. Keeping pets safe and comfortable matters most here. A spacious, completely enclosed yard offers plenty of room for supervised outdoor activity. The household runs quietly, adjusting smoothly to each pet’s habits. Crating happens when preferred by the pet or requested by you. Every detail, including feeding schedules, medications, and special directions, is followed exactly as given.

About: Hello! My name is Jackie. I have been surrounded by animals all my life. I am 25 years old. I got into more experience with handling animals around 15 years of age. I’ve fostered four litters of kittens while finding them new homes. I have experience with bottle feeding. I have looked after friends and family’s dogs as well. I’ve taken dogs for walks, bathed them and other necessary things they needed such as medications. I would like to provide you with the comfort of knowing that your pet is in good, loving care! Pet care fits well into my routine because I currently attend school only twice a week. This allows me to have a flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I’m able to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Even on school days, I make sure to schedule visits and check-ins so pets stay on their normal routine. My goal is to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention while making sure they feel safe and relaxed in their own environment. I currently care for pets in the client’s home through drop-ins, walks, or house sitting and do not bring pets into my own home. I always send updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well.

About: Reliable and attentive care with experience handling anxious dogs, puppies, and seniors. I prioritize safety, routines, exercise, affection, and keeping pets calm, comfortable, and loved. I am currently working full time Monday - Thursday and would love to make this a full time thing ! so for now Fridays until I can do this full time :) My dog and I have a routine I follow closely, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and maintaining a calm, safe, stress-free environment at home to give him The best life I can !

About: I have had dogs seemingly all my life. I breed, train and compete with Golden Retrievers and German Shepherds. I also groom dogs. Obedience is a must at my house, but I also train nose work, tracking, protection work, hunt work and rally with my dogs. Drop-off and pick up hours are between 8am and 10pm. During the week these hours reduce to 8am - 11am and 6:30pm - 10pm. For several reasons I cannot leave food out so if your cat/dog doesn't eat in a reasonable time, they will have to wait until the next feeding cycle. All dogs/cats get one on one time with me every day. I train as much as possible with lots of treats, fun and toys involved.

“Jessica did a great job juggling my two cats who needed medications. She took her time to work with them and earn their trust, and had them showing her their bellies before the end of my trip. Even when my grumpy old man cat gave her trouble, she didn’t judge him or give up - he came around and started coming for treats. She was very respectful of my pets, which is above all else; but she was also super respectful of me and my home. Great communication and understanding. Would definitely consider her for future trips!”

About: I’ve cared for animals since childhood and previously worked as a dog groomer. I’m now teaching my daughter how to responsibly care for pets, and she absolutely loves animals. Together, we’d be happy to treat your pet with the same love, attention, and care as our own. I work from home and homeschool my daughter so we will have plenty of time to care for your pet full time. Long walks along the beltline or local park is part of our daily routine. I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions. Pets get plenty of attention, supervision, and playtime throughout the day so they feel engaged and cared for, not stressed or alone. I make sure they always have fresh water, a comfortable resting space, and a low-stress atmosphere. I also limit exposure to any hazards and keep a close eye on behavior and wellbeing. My goal is for every pet to feel like they’re staying in a second home, not just being watched.

About: As a proud dog mom to two amazing pups a playful 1-year-old German Shepherd and a sweet 3-year-old Poodle I truly understand the energy, patience, and love dogs need at every stage. Caring for my own dogs has taught me how to handle big personalities, different temperaments, and unique routines with ease. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or quiet snuggles, I tailor each day to your pet’s personality. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pup is in caring, capable hands not just being watched, but genuinely cared for. Pet care fits perfectly into my stay-at-home routine, which offers me plenty of time and flexibility. I’m home often, take daily walks, and love spending my breaks giving pets extra attention. I’m a stay-at-home mom with experience caring for my two dogs a one year old German Shepherd and a three year old Poodle. I provide pets with love, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. Walks, playtime, and enrichment activities are part of their daily routine, and I always ensure they are fed, groomed, and happy. I treat every pet like part of my family and enjoy making their time with me fun and stress free.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and currently care for a lab/doodle mix, four cats, chickens, and horses. I recently cared for my German Shepherd through cancer until he passed at 9 years old, which taught me a lot about patience, compassion, and senior pet care. I truly love animals of all kinds and enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I work full-time during the weekdays, but pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already care for animals at home every day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting in the evenings, all day Fridays, on weekends, and around my work schedule. I’m reliable, flexible when possible, and happy to work with different pet needs and routines. I live on a property with plenty of space, fenced areas, cages, and pens depending on the animal and situation. Safety is very important to me, and I always pay close attention to pets’ behavior, routines, and comfort levels. Whether caring for dogs, cats, or farm animals, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I give my own animals.

About: I've been caring for pets for over 10 years — dogs and cats belonging to friends and family who trust me completely, and that trust means everything to me. What makes my care different is that it's never one-size-fits-all. If your dog lives for walks, we walk. If they're all about the ball, we play. If they just want to curl up next to someone, I'm right there. Every pet gets care shaped around who they are, not a standard routine. My home is child-free and pet-free, so your baby isn't competing for attention — they are the focus of my entire day. And when you pick them up? They'll be freshly bathed, happy, and ready to go home. Baths are always on me. PLEASE NOTE: I can board up to 4 pets from the same family at one time, as the pets all know each other. I do not take multiple pets from different families to board at the same time. It's often stressful for the animals and I don't get to enjoy your pet if he is stressed out by strange animals. My home is child-free and animal-free, which means your pet gets a calm, quiet environment with zero stress from other animals and no chaotic energy. They are the sole focus of my day. For dogs: I follow your routine to the letter — feeding times, walk schedule, medications, treats, favorite spots. I ease new guests in gently because I know the first few hours matter most. If your dog loves walks, we walk. If they're a ball dog, we play. They get care shaped around who they are, not a generic routine. Every dog goes home with a complimentary bath so they're clean, happy, and ready to see you. For cats: I understand cats aren't small dogs — they need something completely different. I give them a safe, quiet space to settle in at their own pace, no forcing interaction. I read their cues — whether they want lap time, window watching, or just a calm human nearby. Litter box hygiene is spotless and non-negotiable. I'm very careful about doors, windows, and escape points so your indoor cat stays safely indoors. For all pets: I monitor eating and behavior closely and flag anything off straight away. You'll get regular photo and video updates — as many or as few as you'd like. I've been caring for pets for over 10 years for people who trust me like family, and I take that trust seriously. My goal is simple: your baby comes home calm, happy, and exactly themselves. I do have a fenced yard but do not allow dogs to go out alone unsupervised. I enjoy walking dogs and will keep the routine that you have with your dog. I only take cats and dogs at the same time from the same family. I will always confirm any animal is up to date with vaccines and flea treatments first.

“I am so grateful for Lacy, and so glad I took the plunge trying this. Just got home last night to 2 happy, well adjusted dogs- not at all what we have found after boarding. I was so nervous, but Lacy kept us updated twice a day, including pictures. Thank you for loving our pups!”

About: I have over 12 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable working with both large and small dogs. I have also trained dogs and have experience caring for senior dogs, including those with special needs. I am a full-time student at the University of Alabama, but I have a flexible schedule and am happy to drive to your home between classes. My classes end by 3 PM every day except Tuesday. I’m also available to take your pet out for long walks, runs, or a calm day out of the house during the day. In my home, I take my dog outside often, not just for bathroom breaks, but also to play, run, and get fresh air. I enjoy going on runs with him to help keep him active and healthy. I also like taking him on drives if they enjoy car rides. For my cats, I spend time playing with them using their toys and giving them attention. I also understand that my cats sometimes prefer to relax, so I let them have their space when they’re not in the mood to play.
