Pet Sitting in Carmichaels

“Wendi is a delight and my critters LOVE her! She was able to accommodate my travel schedule which was dictated by iffy February weather. I felt very comfortable with her care while I was away. Thank you, Wendi!!”

“Megan did a wonderful job! She handled the different needs of each of our cats like a pro. One cat needs twice daily pills, and she was prompt each and every time. She went above and beyond, even taking care of a couple small requests I made. I have no hesitation in recommending Megan to other people and will definitely be hiring her again the next time we need a hand!”

“Thanks again Josie! Huge help on a Mountaineer game day!”

About: With over 25 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals, I bring a unique blend of professionalism, intuition, and grounded presence to every animal I care for. My background in law enforcement, behavioral observation, and trauma-informed support makes me especially skilled with animals who are anxious, reactive, or sensitive. I’ve worked with everything from puppies to senior pets, high-energy working breeds to misunderstood rescues, and multi-pet households that require structure and reliability. I’m confident with medication administration, basic training follow-through, and reading body language to prevent issues before they start.

“I can’t say enough great things about Gianna! From the moment we met, I knew my pup was in good hands. They treated my dog like family—sending updates, sharing photos, and making sure every little detail was taken care of. My dog came back happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. It’s such a relief to know there’s someone I can trust when I have to be away. Reliable, kind, and truly an animal lover through and through. I highly recommend Gianna to anyone who wants peace of mind and a happy, well-cared-for pet. We’ll definitely be booking again!”

About: I truly love dogs (and all animals) and would love to spend more time with yours! I grew up with dogs (and cats, too) and was always playing with and training them. I currently have a rescue dog, Lacey; I got her when she was 2 (she is 13 now). I also have experience fostering adult dogs and puppies. I promise to care for your dog like I would my own: with lots of exercise (I can run with your dog), gentle care and understanding, but also make sure your pup is working their minds as much as their bodies. I am a freelance professional (photographer/videographer) so I have a very flexible schedule! I can take care of your pet when you need me to I will work with you to make sure your pet (and you!) feels comfortable. Please let me know of your preferences (eg is your dog crate trained?) and I will do all I can to ensure a happy dog!

“Grace is fantastic and very communicative. My short trip out of town was so less stressful knowing that my babies were being well taken care of!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine, lifelong love for dogs and my hands-on experience as a pet owner myself. I have two dogs, and my oldest is now 7 years old, so I understand the different needs that come with both younger and older dogs. I’m patient, responsible, and very in tune with dogs’ body language and emotional needs. I’m also experienced with basic training for puppies and attentive care for senior dogs, including administering medications and adjusting routines to match their energy and health needs. I treat every dog like family and aim to create a calm, safe, and fun environment tailored to each pet’s personality. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life since I have two dogs of my own. I’m used to planning my days around feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them the attention they deserve. Adding care for other pets fits seamlessly into my routine because I genuinely enjoy it. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening check-ins, I’m flexible and committed to making sure each pet gets the consistent care and love they need. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs like medication or crate time. I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for in your absence. I also keep your home tidy and secure, and I’m happy to send regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 8 years old, volunteering at local shelters and helping family, friends, and neighbors with pet sitting. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with dogs of all ages, including senior pets—my own pup is getting older, so I understand the patience and gentle care they need. I’m also comfortable with basic grooming tasks like bathing and brushing. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet like they’re family. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and take seriously. I’m currently out of school with open availability after 10 AM and on weekends. Even when school resumes in the fall, I’ll make sure pet care fits into my schedule. You can count on me to treat your pets with love and attention. I do not board pets in my home, but I’m happy to care for your pets in their own familiar environment. I offer in-home pet sitting, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day as needed. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine, and I strive to create a calm, loving environment where they feel secure and cared for. You can trust me to treat your pets with the same love and attention I would give my own.

About: I will make sure your fur-baby has the best time and make sure you get pictures through the time they are with me! I will be home at all time so they will never be lonely. I have a puppy that loves to play with other dogs AND adores cats! (Sometimes I feel as if she thinks she is a cat too😂) I have toys and treats. I usually allow the animals on our furniture because this is their home as well, But if you don’t want your baby on furniture I fully respect and can accommodate that for you! I lost my home not long ago and got out of a bad relationship. I’m currently living in a van and traveling! I have all the time in the world and being able to see your pets and spend time with them woukd be the best! 💜 They will be looked after and played with! I am a huge animal lover and always have been. I love spending time with animals and learning about them! :)

“Molly has been awesome. She is very reliable and communicates very well with me. I get great pics every time and my little buddy always looks happy. I am very glad I found Molly and I would recommend her in an instant.”

About: I grew up in a household with four dogs, three of them being Great Danes. Growing up with dogs, I have learned to train, walk, and take care of them. This is where my love for dogs came about. From the time I was 14 I was always taking care of and watching dogs for my neighbors, family, and friends. I have experience with dogs as small as Chihuahuas to as big as New Foundlands. I have watched and stayed with dogs for weeks at a time or just for a few hours after work. My parent's three Great Danes love going to the dog park, playing outside, and going on long walks. So, I have experience with caring for multiple large dogs at a time. My boyfriend and I own an Australian Shepherd, so I am also very familiar with high strung dogs who need to get more energy out than most. Along with my dogs, I have 15 chickens. If you ever need me to tend to your chickens while I am dog sitting, I can do this also! I am very dedicated to taking care of your pups as if they are my very own. I am a 1st grade teacher, so my best qualities are being flexible and patient with all of your pet needs! I am a full-time 1st grade teacher, so I have plenty of time on my summers and weekends off. During the school year, I am free after 3:30! I have stayed at family's and friend's homes for an extended period of time to watch their pups during the school year, so I am definitely available to do that as well. I have taken care of dogs who are fenced in or have acres to explore, and dogs who are free range or are crated in the home. With my parent's four dogs, they have an unfenced yard, so I have experience using shock/training collars to control them on their 7 acres.

“Kimberly was great with our senior cat Whiskey! He can be very high maintenance and requires several medications that she all handled with ease. She was super responsive and thorough and we appreciate her help!”

“Great job! Definitely recommend her! She was more than accommodating to my crazy pup! Lol Thank you!”

About: I have experience in working with animals in boarding and work as a veterinary assistant. I am trained in animal restraint, administering medications, and reading body language. I also have 3 family dogs and one of my own. Taking care of pets is my life. For work, I take care of animals at Duck Hollow Animal Hospital as a Veterinary Technician. Then, I come home and take care of my own animals. I have a female rescue dog that loves other dogs and cats! If you want your dog to have a friend, I can bring her, or if not, that's okay too!

“Caitlin has watched our pets before and this time was as good as the first. She truly cares about their well being and caters her visits around your pets personality. Couldn't be more appreciative and will certainly have her stop in again when needed!!”

About: I have 2 of my own babies. My oldest has always needed special diets, medications, and now has cancer. Compassion is key, which I have so much to share! My youngest shows life is meant to be lived and always smile! I aspire to become a groomer soon, look good feel good! I work full time, but am available at 3PM every day with open weekends!! There’s always time for a walk with all the smells and fun to be had! You know your baby best! I follow instructions well, and will ensure they trust me as much as you do! Treats never hurt! I have their best interest in my heart, and want them to be exactly the way you left them when we get back from having a blast and seeing the world!

“Just amazing! Our pets love her and we trust her wholeheartedly with them. Great communication, responsible, and kind. Thank you so much for giving us a piece of mind when we have to travel.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all shapes, sizes, & ages since I was old enough to remember. Friends and family have always relied on me when it comes to taking care of their fur children. I work as a RN full time, doing 3 12 hour shifts a week and I love playing with my own dog during my off time. I have a yard which my dog enjoys playing frisbee in, he’s never leashed outside at home as he listens better than most humans I know. I’m well aware of leash manners too if your dog is better on the leash in new environments.
