Pet Sitting in Gerrardstown

“We needed a pet sitter for the first time this past week so we could go on our first vacation in quite a long time. I was incredibly nervous since we'd be away from the cats for so long and because I'd had no experience with sitters. Tori put all my worries to rest. Excellent communication, plenty of pictures from her drop-ins, and we came home to a house that was exactly how we left it. I could not have dreamed for a better sitter and, from the pictures I received, the cats were just as happy with her (even my shy cat). Absolutely would love to have her sit for us again the next time we get a chance to go out of town. Thank you so much, Tori!”

About: • Over 10 years of personal pet ownership, including dogs of all sizes and temperaments • Comfortable walking multiple dogs at once • Experienced with leash training and basic commands • Familiar with common dog body language and behavior cues • Strong understanding of different breed needs and activity levels • Careful with leash control in high-traffic areas and around other animals • Consistent with feeding routines and water breaks post-walk • Regular photo updates and detailed walk reports • Experience working with children and dogs together • Passionate about treating every pet like family I’m available Monday-Friday during the daytime hours for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet care. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break or a long adventure walk, I can be flexible to fit your schedule. I have weekend availability during the summer. Mornings, afternoons, and early evenings are all open! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a calm, familiar environment where your pet feels safe and comfortable. I always follow your specific instructions regarding feeding, walking routes, crate routines, and any behavioral needs. I ensure doors and gates are secure before and after every walk, and I never leave pets unattended in unsafe areas. I take time to build trust with each pet by moving at their pace, offering positive reinforcement, and paying close attention to their cues. Whether your dog is high-energy or more reserved, I adapt my approach to make sure they feel relaxed and cared for. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities.

About: Animals have been part of my life since birth, and caring for them has always been one of the greatest joys of my life. I grew up in a home that always had dogs, and when I got my first dog in my early twenties, I continued owning and caring for dogs for nearly 31 years. While I currently share my home with three beloved cats, I’ve spent a lifetime around dogs and understand their needs, personalities, and the importance of making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. For the past five years, I’ve also hosted guests through Airbnb and regularly cared for their pets, giving me experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something that comes from the heart. Your pet will be treated with the same love, patience, and attention that I would give my own family. I work for myself, I have a very flexible schedule and can adjust my time to meet your pet’s needs. This allows me to be available, reliable, and fully present for your pet. Whether it’s daily visits or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they are cared for, comfortable, and never feel alone. I treat every pet like my own, with safety and comfort always coming first. I live on a private five-acre property with a large, securely fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and enjoy plenty of space. Inside, pets have a calm, clean environment with cozy spots to relax, along with toys and attention. I always supervise outdoor time and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and truly cared for.

“Meghan has been an excellent care giver for our older cat, and it was a comfort knowing that she was experienced with giving medications since our sweet kitty needs a daily asthma pill. Thank you so much, Meghan!”

“Lauren was awesome with my dog Jewelz. She took a lot of time during the meet and greet gathering information and getting to know both of us. I’m a very particular dog mom but felt very comfortable leaving Jewelz with Lauren. I would highly recommend her.”

About: I’m a certified dog trainer through Animal Behavior College with hands-on training at Head of the Class Dog Training. I’ve trained shelter dogs and been involved in cat rescue and foster care, so I’m used to everything from nervous side-eyes to full chaos energy. I’m patient, understanding, and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality so they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m home Friday through Monday, which makes those days perfect for boarding with lots of attention and consistency. Tuesday–Thursday I work in Winchester until 4:30 PM, but I’m available in the evenings for walks. In my home, I offer a structured routine with exercise, enrichment, and a secure 6-foot privacy fence for safe outdoor time. In your home, I follow your pet’s normal routine to keep things consistent and stress-free.

“I hate that Micki is being so stubborn, but appreciate Hailey taking the time with her on her drop in visits. Jack smiles from ear to ear in all her pictures she sends.”

“Maggie did a fantastic job, the pups relaxed around her during out meet and greet. During the visit, she supplied plenty of pictures and videos. She didn't hesitate to ask questions and reach out with concerns. She had a great personality and we were very comfortable leaving our fur babies in her care. Thank you Maggie, we will be rebooking you again!!”

“Demi did absolutely amazing with my foster cat Benito! This was my first Rover experience, and I had full peace of mind while I was away because of Demi’s promptness, communication, and enthusiasm. She sent detailed updates and so many photos for each drop-in and even left a printed collage of some of the pictures she took of Benny 🥲 Would not hesitate to recommend Demi for loving pet care and will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little, but I’ve been helping out a lot more in the past 4-5 years. I pet sit for many family members and countless friends. They rely on me to walk, feed, play, and most of all care for their animals. I also fostered a puppy for a year and found him an amazing home! I’m a huge animal lover and want to provide the best care for your animals :) I’m currently a college student and have a part-time job, but I have a good amount of availability around that. I work throughout the week mostly when I’m needed so that schedule can vary. Thus, it would be ideal for me to care for your pets in the mornings or evenings :) I have a senior dog who’s very friendly and loves to be outside. I play with her as much as I can, but since she’s getting old, she just likes to eat her treats and sleep! While caring for your pet, I’ll ensure to give them the attention they deserve by playing with them, walking them, or whatever else is requested!

“Great communication. Our dogs loved spending time with them. Highly recommend!”

“What a pleasure to have Abigail take care of our older guy. She came over to meet him before their time together. She took great photos of him (which he won’t let me do). She took extra care of our super senior. We can’t wait to have her back again!”

About: I’ve had pets all my life and found great joy in researching how to give them the best life. Through my work at a vets office I was able to learn and explore even more. I love animals and try to truly understand their needs and wants. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and have fun with them. I’m currently looking for a full time job so I have a lot of time free to dedicate to your furry family members as well as my own. I have two cats of my own and a ferret. My yard is not fenced in and sits against a pretty busy road. Unfortunately this means I don’t see myself being able to offer in home services at this time.
