Cat Sitting in Cartersville

“I have two small kittens that I had to leave for a week. They stayed with Riley all week and looked very content and happy in the pictures I received. Riley’s veterinary experience was also a huge peace of mind. Would recommend to anyone!”

Lindsay D.

“This was our first time leaving our newly adopted cat and Michelle took great care of her. She provided us with detailed feedback and took the extra step of cleaning up tracked litter and fur balls to keep our cat's space clean.”

Linda L.

“Carleen provide a good service. She picked up my three cats and took them into her home, took care of them and brought them back. She took my request at the last minute and made my day a success. I would recommend her to anyone she was very kind towards my pets and to me, she deserves the five star rating”

About: New to the site but not new to petsitting! I've had various pets my entire life and been pet sitting/walking for over 25 years! I have experience with any species from hamsters, lizards, and bunnies, to cats and dogs, as well as livestock! My family raises and competes with oxen in the Northeast, and until recently moving south I cared for large animals (horses, cattle, goats, etc) as a side gig as well. There isn't an animal out there that I'm unwilling to work with! I love to care for and work with dogs. I'm happy to do regularly scheduled walks/hikes, or help out as needed. I don't have any official training certification but I do have a background in behavior analysis that has proven helpful when working with and training pets and farm animals. I'm available weekdays mostly during the day but have plenty of flexibility overall. Also available most weekends! Message me with your needs and I can check my schedule for availability. I have a German Shepherd and a Staffordshire Terrier. Although they love to play, due to their size and intensity of play, I'm not doing any care in my home at this time. If I establish a relationship with a client and know their pet well enough to know if it's a good fit, we can discuss the possibility of care in my home. I am willing to do care for small animals in cages in my home (hamster, bearded dragon, etc) In a client's home, I will follow whatever individual preferences they have!

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was seven years old. My family had two kittens that I cared for and I was responsible for pet sitting other fur babies in the neighborhood growing up. I also attended many animal science/nature camps growing up, it’s where I got my first hermit crab! I also know the Heimlich maneuver for both cats and dogs. In my junior year of high school I applied and was accepted to the HOSA veterinary science program where I graduated in the National Honors Society. Shortly after graduation, I started working at a veterinary hospital as a veterinary assistant. My job was to help restrain animals for exams/shots, organize medications, prepare/read fecal slides and determine if intestinal parasites are present, collect urine samples, and provide basic care. Overall I have had personal experience caring for dogs/puppies, cats/kittens, goats, horses, hamsters, chickens/chicks, pigs, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, ferrets, chinchillas, birds, lizards, snakes, frogs, turtles, hermit crabs, and axolotls. I am currently a student in nursing school and am working as a part time server. I only have classes two days a week on Monday (6 AM - 6 PM) and Tuesday (8:30 AM - 11:15 AM) and work a couple hours 2 evenings a week, but can take off if needed for services. I like to learn about their daily routine and what they like to do for fun so and incorporate those things into our routine while clients are gone, so pets feel safe and relaxed while their family isn’t there.

About: Your fur baby will have a blast with our pack! Winnie, Tater and Goose are the ultimate pals. We will be sure to keep your pup entertained and a great way to get exercise and affection while you’re away! If you have an older dog, I can offer one on one snuggle time and a calm relaxing environment separate from the other pups. We have 2 acres and enjoy outside playtime. We frequent the dog park in Louisa and hiking trails from Richmond to Charlottesville. Common treats are homemade chicken jerky and sardines. Please let me know if your pup is not on a tick preventative. We treat our yard with a dog safe spray but enjoy recreational activities away from home and would like to be extra cautious for your fur baby. I have full weekday and have full weekend availability! We enjoy going on walks in our neighborhood or the park close by early in the morning and late at night before it gets too hot. Depending on your pup’s age, younger ones will have tater and goose to play with. Older/calmer pups will stay with Winnie and I in a separated part of the house. I will care for your pup however you feel they will do the best (:

About: I've had dogs since I can remember. My fiancé watched dogs in the past with rover and I would always help. Take the dogs to the park on my days off, play outside, and train them when needed. I am currently on veterans disability so I can focus my whole day to your furry friend. No worry about being stuck in all day. I have 5 acres of yard for them to play on. I have lots of space if needed, room for crates, room outside. Plenty of space so your furry friend won't feel trapped. My animals mind their own.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a home (and heart) full of furry friends. I share my days with two spirited Jack Russells, Luke (7) and Millie (10), and I also get lots of love from my grand-dogs—Sam, a sweet 8-year-old black lab, and Bella, a playful 1-year-old hound. Over the years, I’ve fostered many pets and raised three animal-loving children, and now that I’m an empty nester, I have even more time and attention to devote to caring for your pets. Pets naturally fit into my daily routine. Since I work part-time, I have the flexibility to provide consistent care, walks, and attention. Your pet will always have a dependable caregiver to keep them happy and on schedule. I care for my dogs like family. We share adventures outdoors, like hiking, fishing, swimming, and boating. We live creating happy memories, healthy routines filled with love and exercise.

“Haley did a great job! Returned home to calm, well-cared-for pups!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and if I can help yours be happier in your home or on our walks that’s all that matters. I currently work full time as a Cna 3-11 but I’m willing to help other pets in need of extra help even on my work days. My dogs are two purebred good boys. They are trained so they are good when it comes to their walks. They love to meet new dogs and are soo sweet to people.

“Great communication! Took awesome care of Isis. I was able to enjoy my trip and not worry knowing she was in caring hands!”

About: I've taken care of and been around dogs and cats ever since I can remember. Aside from my own pets, I have pet set for many different families over the years. Sunday mornings I have church from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm. Tuesday and Thursday mornings for the fall semester I have an in person class from 9:30 am to 10:50 am. Other than that my schedules pretty open. I am very responsible, since I usually care for at least two or more pets at one time, I am always aware and make sure I'm giving the pets my full attention and care.

About: Hello! My name is Kate and I want to meet your pet! I have a seven year old Australian Shepherd who might be the love of my life (don't tell my husband!) I have grown up around dogs but have also taken care of cats and guinea pigs. In all seriousness, I live in the Goochland/Short Pump area and offer pet walking during the day. I'm a super active person who works from home and has the time to commit to make sure your pet is well taken care of! My first dog (a Westie) lived to be almost 17 and by the end of his life, needed a variety of medicines throughout the day and so that is another service that I can offer. I hope to meet you and your furry friend soon! I work from home starting late morning and also typically go to the park everyday after work (depending on the weather). I am available before work, during lunch, and after work. I make sure that your pet has plenty of water and play time before I leave the visit! I always make sure your pet is comfortable and we can play as much as they want!

“Perfect care giver for my pets. Cheerful, punctual and caring.”

About: Hey, my name is Erin! I’ve had my own animals my entire life, but I also have 4 years of dog training professionally. I worked for the company Dogtopia (a great dog daycare/boarding facility) as a canine coach and assistant manager. I worked hands on in the room with the dogs during open play, and one on one in grooming and training sessions. Unfortunately, my husband travels for work so a traditional 9-5 doesn’t always work for me, hence finding my own lane with Rover! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend. :) I work from home remotely part time as a paralegal, and outside of that I am a stay at home wife. Pet care fits seamlessly into my life and I am open to working with clients to help accommodate special time needs. I cannot accommodate watching your pup at my own home because I have my own rescue who does not want to share the space. Thank you for understanding!

“Sarah was perfect for my babies. Felt good knowing that they were taken care of while we were gone. Her Rover Cards are so detailed and the pics were such a treat. Great communication and very accommodating. Sarah, stay on standby because we will call on you again! ☺️”

I’m also very good at reading dog body language and love to see your pups feeling comfortable and confident in our adventures.
