About: I am available for pet-sitting and dog-walking in the Rutherford County Area! I grew up on a small farm, and lived with dogs and cats all my life. I currently am the pet parent to one spoiled Netherland Dwarf rabbit named Patchouli, and I help my parents care for their three dogs, three cats, and two goats. In the past, I have worked at a doggy daycare/kennel, a pet vaccination clinic, and have volunteered at two veterinary clinics and a wildlife rehabilitation center. I currently work a part time job, and I can easily fit in petsits, drop-ins, and walks in my off time. I can complete petsits with animals that require more full time care (e.g. cannot be left alone for 8+ hours) but I will need at least a two weeks notice and my sitter prices will double to compensate for the wages I would essentially be losing. I am very attentive to pets' body language and signals. I am very gentle with pets and consistently allow them time to get to know me and feel comfortable. I will request information about each pet's comfortablity with other humans, pets, and separation from owners, and plan accordingly.

“Caroline is a very compassionate and responsible pet owner and sitter! Caroline has always been a huge help to me in taking care of my cats while I'm away, and I always feel comforted knowing they're in the best of hands.”
14. Alayna P.
“Alayna watched our two dogs and cat for us while we were on vacation. She was on time and she actually listened to the things we told her about our animals. Our dogs immediately liked her. Even our husky, who is cautious, warmed up very quickly to her. We have a ring camera and Alayna was on time for every visit and walk. When we returned, the litter box was cleaned out and we could tell that the dogs and cat were well taken care of. She kept us informed about their eating habits and sent us pictures daily. We continue to use Alayna every time we go out of town or if we are going away for the day on a long trip. She is always our first choice!”
15. Kara P.
About: I have pet sat for many families in the past. I have about 3 regulars. I started pet sitting in my neighborhood about 2 and a half years ago and also got on another app and have had about 2 sittings from there. I have pet sat mostly dogs but also cats. I have done overnights, visits throughout the day, boarding in my home, walking, etc. I am also about to start including dog training! I also would love to add in hiking! I would even be up for doing day care in my home! I have also cared for senior dogs and have experience with giving medications. I have a German Shepherd so I love to get out and be active! I am currently working part time but am planning to go fully to pet sitting so I can help more pet owners out! I am not in school so I will be available the whole day to spend time with your pups. Your pup will be able to go outside when needed and get love 24/7. We have a fully fenced yard so lots of room for your pup to run! We also go on daily walks and sometimes enjoy going out hiking or to the park. I am very keen on crate training so your pup will need to be crated while unsupervised in my home. This is for mine and my dogs safety but also for your dogs safety! We keep our home very clean and dog/ puppy proof so no need to worry about your pup getting into anything! We also keep chew bones up and any high value items up. They get these high value items when they are individually in their crates or their own space! We have three dogs for your pup to play and socialize with always under supervision of me or the other person in my home.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was the age of 10, I have mostly taken care of smaller dogs, but I can also take care of bigger ones. I'm currently not employed and I'm looking for this to be my job, it would be better if I took care of your pet after 12pm. I take care of six cats and a dog in my home. I provide food and water to them and make sure that they take their medications. I spend a great bit of my time making sure that they are happy and healthy, I get down to their level and spend time playing with them.
