Pet Sitting Carthage

“Allison did a great job checking in on my cat while I was out of town. She was professional, thorough and caring. I will definitely request her help in the future and would recommend her.”

“Samantha is absolutely wonderful! From the initial meet and greet, I immediately felt confident that she would be a great fit for our dogs. She was kind, responsive, dependable, and communicated so well throughout our entire trip. I especially appreciated all of the photos, videos, and detailed report cards she sent after each visit. It made such a difference being able to see how our boys were doing and know they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. Being able to relax and enjoy our trip without worrying about them was honestly priceless. Samantha was attentive, thoughtful, and clearly took the time to get to know our two dogs rather than just stopping in to check a box. We felt completely comfortable having her care for them and are grateful for her services! We would absolutely use her again in the future. Highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a quality pet sitter!!”

About: I’ve loved animals since I was small, but am too queasy for the veterinary career. My life has thrown me multiple curveballs in the last few years, and I want to assist other people when life throws them curveballs!! I work full time in hospitality, with a varying schedule but am flexible!! I want to provide whatever services you need for whenever life happens! I will care for your babies in whatever way they need!! Whether that be varying personalities, just needing someone to hang out with them, or monitor their conditions and contacting vets if needed

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me time and time again to look after their pets (and even their plants), and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I share my home with my sweet lab mix, Congo, and my newly adopted cat, Mayo, who bring so much joy into my life. I’ve also spent years house‑sitting and pet‑sitting, and my time working in the local restaurant industry has taught me to be dependable, patient, and attentive. I treat every pet with the same love and comfort I give my own! I’m a local college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets attention, playtime, and consistent care. I follow safe walking practices with secure leash handling and close awareness of my surroundings. I also stick to your dog’s usual training and routine to keep them comfortable.

“Jennifer was amazing while doing drop ins for my two cats for two weeks! She went above and beyond for my girls and was very consistent with the updates and photos which I so appreciated. By the end of the second week she even fully earned the trust of my super shy girl who asked for belly pets from her! I’ll definitely be having Jennifer back for my next trip out of town.”

“Very responsive, responsible and caring. Kristen is awesome. We trust her with our girl.”

About: I have lots of experience with walking, exercising, play dates, overnight pet sitting, washing, brushing, feeding, and giving them medicine. No problems with large dog breeds or with lifting elderly pets. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available weekdays as well as weekends for walking, over nights stays, washing, playtime, feeding, etc. I will always ensure to arrive in a timely manner and show your pet the upmost love and care. I have a fenced in back yard, exercise equipment as well as 5 different toys for my dog to play with. I walk them daily, wash them as needed and ensure they get fed in a timely manner.

About: I’m a passionate pet sitter with professional training in Pet CPR/First Aid and Fear-Free certification, ensuring your pets are safe and stress-free. With experience caring for a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, and small rodents, I understand their needs and behaviors. I’ve worked with pets of all temperaments, like a special Sphynx cat that needed extra attention and basic grooming. I’m also experienced in helping pets with fear and anxiety, including breeds like Bullies, and Labs who are afraid of thunderstorms. Trust in me to provide loving, attentive care for your pets, keeping them happy, healthy, and content. I start my mornings with yoga and breakfast drop ins, spend my afternoons with nail clients and training with my service dog, and end my days providing dinner drop ins and overnight stays. I value this calm, intentional routine because it allows me to provide loving, attentive care for my furry clients, and my own fur babes while continuing to grow personally and professionally. In you and your pet's home, I focus on following the guidelines you leave and respecting client confidentiality. These are my top priorities. I strive to keep routines consistent to minimize stress for your pets. This includes help with tasks like taking in the mail, and watering plants.

About: My experience in pet care is extensive. From helping raise and train my own family dogs as child, to working at different animal facilities, I have experience in many different/difficult situations I may face. While I lived in New York I worked at a high end Doggy Daycare and boarding facility that prided itself in creating a certified "fear free" environment for dogs. In a daycare setting I handled and monitored up to 25 dogs in a safe and ethical way. I learned how to read different dog body language cues and how to handle small to XL size dogs. I took a lot of pride in the environment I created for my playgroups so dogs could enjoy safe, fun interactions with each other. I also worked as a kennel technician at the same facility. I did potty breaks for up to 50 dogs, cleaned kennels to propers standards and provided enrichment and feeding for all of our guests. I have experience in how to handle aggressive or stand offish dogs in a safe and manageable way. I also learned a lot about animal health and helped provide care for special needs guests who may have disabilities due to age or that were on seizure watch. Any issues or concerns I had health wise were immediately brought to my supervisors so it could be brought to the owners attention. I worked at Resorts Boarding and Play in two different times for about a year and a half total. After my time at this facility I worked at the SPCA Serving Erie County as an animal caretaker. It was here I gained more exposure to different temperaments in dogs and cats and how to work with them while also cleaning their kennels so they had a clean safe space to enjoy. I enjoyed helping all these pets in desperate need and watching them come out of their shells and experience joy more and more. It was one of the most rewarding parts of that job! When I moved to North Carolina I spent a few months working at 7 Lakes Kennels as a kennel technician again. I cleaned kennels and helped pair dogs for daycare play. I handled medicine distribution to dogs who needed it, cleaned potty yards and of course, played with many dogs! I again had previous experience in handling some tougher dogs so I was comfortable in helping others with some guests who had behavioral challenges. I also did feedings for the guests under my care for the day and took everyone out for potty walks at allotted times. Although I have only professionally been in the pet care industry for about 3 years I consider most of my life as experience from also doing all pet care for my animals growing up, including pushing pills for my childhood cat who had issues with kidney function. I fed all my childhood pets morning and night. I handled supplements for my goldendoodle who had hip and joint issues later in life. I have tons of techniques to help dogs take medicine in an enticing manner. I also made sure my dogs received 20-30 minutes of intense exercise a day to meet their large dog requirements as goldendoodles. They preferred playing ball but also enjoyed added on walks. I am sincerely passionate about providing top-notch care to pets and have shown that to many previous employers who always enjoyed my attention to detail and efforts to work with the animals regardless of any behavior issues or health concerns they faced. I am stay at home as of now so I have plenty of free time on my hands. I prefer to be at home rather than out so the only time I gone really is to run errands or be at the gym. I enjoy an active lifestyle so I do walk my dogs a bit or allow them to run around outside and play with them. I have a set feeding schedule for them. Breakfast is 8 am and dinner is 5 pm. I have done both of my dogs basic obedience myself as I'm looking to advance in the dog training field. I hope to start schooling soon to get my certifications. I have used different techniques for both of my dogs as they have different temperaments. I strive to understand my dogs thoroughly and work with them rather than force them into overwhelming situations. We always start small and build from there once they show they understand a concept or become more comfortable in a new environment. Both of my dogs are crate trained. I love them very much but I finds crates are a very helpful tool to help teach self control and give them a space they can call their own. I am happy to follow any instructions you may have for me through a text message or written out on paper. If you have any concerns I am happy to communicate with you while you are away! At one boarding facility we would send out pictures every three days of a fun activity we did with the dogs to help ease owners minds. I am more than willing to do something like that for you everyday! I totally understand the worry of being away from your best friends! I do ask if your dog boards with me that they come with their crate/kennel. I find it a bit easier for a dog to decompress in a new environment if they have something that is familiar for them. Blankets that smell like you are a plus. I am more than willing to clean toys and bedding before you come to pick up your buddy again. If you want feeding done at certain times I'm happy to do that as I have a free schedule just taking care of my home. Walks, playtime and interacting with dogs are must to keep spirits up while you are away so I am happy to provide these services as well! Of course attention and love is given regardless to any pet I am watching! I am comfortable adminstering medication according to labels or any supplements/treats you provide your pets! I ALWAYS listen to and watch dogs for body language cues. I find that respecting dogs leads to a much better relationship between caretakers and friends. I have extensive training through "The Dog Gurus" my first employer provided all employees. This taught me different play styles for breeds, how to monitor health through potty habits and what to look for in concerning poop. I learned the warning signs of seizures and how to handle them as well as what to watch for if a dog may have a parasitic infection. I was also taught signs of stress and techniques to help prevent them through providing familiar scents, toys or approach. I am aware of and use certain skills in approaching nervous dogs-become smaller and less threatening by turning your back slightly and not holding direct eye contact. I always allow a dog to approach me by offering my hand from a distance and letting them decide if they want to interact or not. For dogs who were sensitive or reactive about touch around their neck while working I used a "double slip lead" technique so I wouldn't have to get into their personal space while putting a lead on them. It also made it safer to remove a lead by never having to physically touch the dog, rather gently pull one lead attached around the other and they would both safely slip off the dog. Understanding a dogs temperament and triggers is vital for me to work safely and effectively with any dog I encounter or interact with. Please always offer all information on your dog to me during a meet and greet session. I would rather have "too much" information on your dog than feel like I'm scrambling with questions later on while you are away. I enjoy working with all different types of dogs and love learning about their personalities and things they enjoy. I feel confident in my skill level and experience to provide safe, loving, enjoyable care for all your four legged family members.

About: I have been a professional trainer for over 15 years. I love puppies, small dogs, and bully breeds in particular. I am comfortable giving medications and providing custom care. Looking after your pets is my number once focus everyday and throughout the week. They are the first thing I take care of when I wake up and the last thing I take care of when I go to sleep. Dogs will be crated when not supervised. Backyard is fully fenced. Free time in the yard and house while supervised. Professional training available as well.

About: I have a friendly 3 year old doodle and we are looking to make dog friends and have lots of play dates as well as help out with anything you and your pets need! I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and can provide long walks as well as tons of cuddles. I have lots of experience with housesitting in other peoples homes. My dog has leash reactivity so I am experienced in dealing with training and management of that. I work 12 hour shifts 3 days per week so have lots of free time to pet sit during the week. My free days vary each week but I will keep my schedule updated. I walk & play with my own dog at least twice per day. I’d love to bring my pup to play with yours and walk together if that’s something your dog would enjoy! I’m happy to come over alone or with my 3 year old friendly dog to walk, play, or house sit. I will try my best to accommodate any specific requests you have. I will change water, feed meals, and love on your pet like they’re my own! Please let me know if your pet has any behavioral concerns (leash reactivity, separation anxiety, difficulty with other animals) or any medical needs. I like to be as prepared as possible!

“Alexis was so helpful with my Rottie 8 month old! I was worried about her and Alexis went right over and checked on her for me. I was so relieved and I will be using Alexis again, and frequently!”

About: I have grown up with dogs so I am very comfortable around them! From playing fetch and going on runs to cuddles and pets I am more than happy to provide your dog with whatever they need. I know that they need lots of love and attention which I am looking forward to giving them. We have two dogs of our own, Wilbur and Goose, and I wish I could have more! But giving your pets love will do me just fine. If you have any further questions feel free to contact me. I look forward to taking great care of your pets! Luckily, I get to work remotely. This allows me a lot of flexibility of when I am able to provide pet care since I can work around my schedule easily! We are fortunate enough to have a large fenced in back yard for our pups to run freely in! Whenever they are not playing outside, they are inside with me and have the option of napping on their own couch, playing with me, or relaxing in my office.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I have experience training puppies in basic commands like sit, stay, come, and leash manners. I provide a calm, structured environment and pay close attention to each dog’s needs, whether that’s playtime, routine, or extra patience. My goal is to make them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m home most of the day and able to give dogs consistent attention and care. Occasionally I may step out briefly, but dogs are never left alone for long and can be safely crated if needed. I live on a quiet property with a large yard and a long private driveway, giving dogs plenty of space to walk and explore safely. While my yard is not fenced, all outdoor time is supervised and/or on leash for safety. I also have the ability to crate if needed and always prioritize a safe, controlled environment for every dog.

“She was such a blessing. This was a last minute booking and she was able to accommodate. She provided great pictures and feedback. I would definitely recommend.”
