Pet Sitting Darlington

About: Hi there! I am a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. My background includes working in both veterinary and pet insurance settings, so I’m very comfortable handling pets with all types of medical needs and administering medications safely and correctly (oral, topical, injectable, and more). I am also comfortable with other critters as needed on a case by case basis. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science with a concentration in Equine Science and Companion Animals, and I’ve dedicated my time outside of my 9-5 to helping pets live happy, healthy lives. I currently have two dogs and a cat, a turtle, a tortoise, and 5 fish tanks. This is an animal loving home without a doubt. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member behind when you travel or need extra help. My goal is to make things easier by providing reliable, compassionate care you can trust, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in great hands. I work from home full-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. For boarding, that means I’m able to give them as much or as little attention as they want. Whether they’re social snugglers or prefer their own space. I keep a calm, comfortable environment and make sure their needs are always met. While we do have other animals in the home, I am able to provide a private place for your pet if needed, and typically do dedicate one private space for any cat boarders. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can also easily fit in drop-in visits before or after work, ensuring pets get reliable care and consistent routines. Pet care naturally fits into my day because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. All animals must be dog and cat friendly. If you're boarding a cat, they will NOT have access to our cat since they're a bit more difficult to socialize. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a calm, comfortable environment where the animal can feel safe and relaxed. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible regarding feeding times, litter maintenance, playtime, and quiet time! I also make sure they get the right balance of attention and independence based on their personality. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and routines with the same respect and care I would my own. I pay close attention to any specific instructions for feeding, medications, or enrichment, and always take time to make pets feel loved and secure while their people are away. Communication is key for me, so I provide updates and photos to give you peace of mind every step of the way.

“One again, Lauren did an ameowzing job taking care of my boys. When they heard we would be gone for 2.5 days they begged to have her visit. They love when she comes and gives them treats, outside play time, and lots of love. They used to never ask when I was leaving for a trip before but now they ask when can I take one so Lauren can come visit.”

“Wasn't sure what to expect with my Chug being a bit of a challenge with new people. However, Olivia tackled the challenge with her expertise of pet care and Vinny had a great week. I would highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a drop in sitter for your pet. Thank you so much Olivia.”

Teacher on summer break! I can pop in to walk or care for your beloved pet at anytime! Thank you for trusting me with your sweet baby! I currently have 2 dogs, so I’m very familiar with doggie needs.

About: I have been a dog and cat owner my entire life. We have a few ESA pets in our home for my disabled son. I am very familiar with training, walking, feeding, giving medications, and senior care. I have been a dog nanny for the last 3 years and ready to grow. I am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of morning and afternoon time to give. I am available on weekends and holidays for walks, house sitting & pet sitting. I have a fenced in yard and a bunch of toys and love to give. I love to play and work out with the pets if they like too. Water play in summer too. I am available to watch your pets at you home as well as do drop ins throughout the day.

About: I am an animal lover looking to care for your fur babies! I have had cats my whole life and I have also had 2 dogs. One sheltie and one german Shepherd/ great dane mix. I have also had a hamster and fish that I have some knowledge of being able to care for. I now own a German Shepherd that I adopted when he was 2 months old and a rescued kitten! I have dog-sat for families in my neighborhood ranging in size and age. I can walk pets, feed them, just simply let them out, play with them, or anything else you might think of. Please let me know if I can be of any help to you. I’m currently working Monday through Thursday, but looking to give your pet all my attention on the weekends and afternoons if needed! Can’t wait to meet your pets! I have a fenced in dog park in my apartment complex, and a very nice area to take dogs on walks! Please let me know what your pet will need when booking.

About: I’ve taken care of pets from friends and family for years, cats, dogs, and occasionally a pig. I have skills in administration of pills orally to pets. With my schedule being extremely flexible (except for Tuesday and Thursday mornings), pet care fits in great, feeding and walking at any time of day I can easily crate a dog, I can feed, play with, and comfort cats and dogs. I may also administer medicine orally for cats and dogs, being most familiar with pills/capsules.

“Mikayla L. did a good job with my 5 "babies". I got updates on my "babies" every time she was there. Oreo and Nicodemus came to her for tummy and back rubs. I appreciated her hard work. I would like to use her services again. Sincerely. Leslie M.”

About: I have always loved and adored animals. I recently finished working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility. My main focus was to show the pets there the best care and that’s exactly what I did. I fed the dogs, made sure they were clean, looked after them, and played with them. I did my best to make the pets feel comfortable even though they were away from home. I am currently taking three courses at a technical college. I’m normally gone for about two hours a day for class. After which, I am free to give all services such as dog walking, pet sitting, boarding, etc. I will abide by all of the rules that are given to me in the house. I will make sure that the pets remain safe while still having fun with them and showing them care.

“I've used Chloe several times and she does a great job! She is always on time and sends great feedback and pictures. I know my dog is well taken care of. I will definitely use Chloe in the future!”

“Georgia was great! Great with communication throughout the process. Sent pics at her check ins and gave updates. Went above and beyond.”

About: I’ve spent over 20 years surrounded by paws, whiskers, and wagging tails, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life. From newborns, playful puppies, curious kittens, confident adults, and sweet seniors who just want extra snuggles. At home, I have a full furry crew: two huskies, two cats, and eight dachshunds. Managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines is second nature to me and there’s never a dull moment, and I love it. One thing that sets me apart is my experience with whelping and newborn puppies. I’ve helped deliver two dachshund litters and raised those tiny beans from birth until they headed off to their forever families. It taught me patience, attention to detail, and how to spot what a pet needs before they can tell you themselves. Whether your pet loves long walks, gentle cuddles, or just a buddy to hang out with, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at home. I work a full-time job, but I have plenty of flexibility to schedule visits around your pet’s routine. I’m able to do morning, evening, and weekend care, and I always make sure pets get the attention, playtime, and clean-up they need. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. It’s something I genuinely enjoy, so I’m happy to build my schedule around keeping your pets happy and comfortable. I provide all pet care in your home, where your pets feel safe, comfortable, and in their normal routine. My priority is creating a calm, secure environment so they can relax while you’re away. I always follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, litter box routines, medication needs, preferred toys, and any house rules you have in place. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and comfort level so I can approach them gently and respectfully. During visits, I make sure your home stays safe and tidy. I double-check doors, crates, and gates; ensure food and water are fresh; and keep the space clean, especially around litter boxes and feeding areas. I also provide updates and photos so you know your pets are happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety, your home’s security, and your peace of mind are always my top priorities.
