About: I have grown up around animals and have experience with sitting over night, taking them on walks, feeding on a schedule and more! I lived with a Golden Doodle in college for 2 years and help care for my sister’s dogs (Jack Russell Terrier & Lab Mix). 🐶 I am currently a full time graduate student looking so make some extra money. My schedule changes each semester, but I am able to be flexible most weeks. I can provide the assurance you need to trust me with your fur baby! I like to check in with the owners with updates and pictures, just so you are aware of how things are going. I am easy to talk to and can follow directions so that your pet feels comfortable with me!

“Caroline loved her time with Leigha! Very accommodating on short notice for us. Thank you Leigha!!”

About: I have been fostering & training animals for rescues and shelters since 2009. I enjoy fostering because it helps more animals in the long run, I am great with animals that are unruly & have vet technician experience, so you can be sure your animal is in great hands when at my home or in my care, I love cats, dogs & caged animals & will go above and beyond for them. I can do things that most animal caretakers aren’t comfortable with, such as administer medications, light training, cleaning, bathing, grooming, even go pet shopping if needed! I will treat your babies as my own 😊 I have a huge yard & I live a few miles from a park with a walking trail. I own my business and work from home on my own schedule so I can work around my animal care schedule if needed. I have a 6 month old but can and will refrain from contact if needed. I have pets of my own as well as fosters at any given time, however my house is split level and plenty big enough to separate my animals from visiting one's to ensure safety.

About: I connect with animals of all kinds! I've had several dogs and cats, rabbits, pigs, turkeys, snakes, lizards, and a chinchilla. I currently have goats, chickens, 5 cats and a dog. I care for animals the way I care for children, they bring me such joy! I have also captured strays to get them to a rescue, and helped wild animals with injuries. I am very attentive to the animals moods and behaviors, while also going above and beyond to make sure they feel safe. I have dealt with sick animals, given medications, assisted in giving injections and followed food regimens. I have been bitten by several different kinds of animals, so I know how to deal with being bitten. I have plenty of energy to walk and play, and my own reliable transportation. I've done extensive research on behaviors and relationships of pets and I'm always learning. I would be happy to write daily reports and/or take pictures, whatever makes you feel at ease. Outside of caring for my own animals, I'm not a very busy individual, so if you need a last minute service, I will likely be available. I can transport animals in my car and also have a female German Shepherd who is fixed and is sweet as can be, if your pup would like a play mate! I take care of my animals daily, but have plenty of free time for yours! Morning, afternoon or evening, I'm available for your pet care needs. My pets are well taken care of and honestly a little spoiled 🤭. We have different foods for different cat needs, we don't use cheap food brands in our household. Our dog is walked at least 5 times a week, sometimes more. Each animals gets individual attention and plenty of pets. I make my own treats to give my dog her medicine and also try other pet recipes from time to time. All animals are vaccinated, de-wormed, and get vet check-ins annually.

About: I have taken care of several types of animals including rabbits, dogs, cats, fish, and hamsters. I have personally had a rabbit named Buttercup who lived until she was 13 years old and currently have two dogs and two cats. I have taken care of others animals over the past decade and some change including walking dogs, popping in throughout the day to provide attention and meals, and boarded at my own home. I am currently an occupational therapy student at Emory and Henry and am in my last semester. I am free Thursday-Sunday as I work virtually for my capstone project. When I am coming into your home to care for your beloved pet I ensure I am being respectful of your area and keeping it tidy.

About: Hi everyone, my name is Jenna and I would love to dog sit for your family! I am 24 years old and a current student at E&H SHS. I have previous experience of caring for all different types of dogs and even my own family dogs. I have a car to drive, so I’m flexible with going to places if needed. I’m very into exercise and would love to get your dog active outside. Also, I currently don’t have any pets in my household so you won’t have to worry about your dog being with other animals. I hope that your family can give me the opportunity to care for your animals! I am a current graduate student, so I am available in the early mornings and after school. My schedule is different every week, so it depends. I live in an apt and do not have a grass area. However, I do live near plenty of parks and have a lot of area in my apt.

About: I have been pet sitting for roughly 10 years. It started when I was young just caring for my friends dogs and cats when they went out of town but has evolved into a small client base that I want to expand. I have cared for mostly senor dogs, providing them with medication as it was prescribed, ensuring they were safe when outside, and updating owners on any changes in behavior and physical condition. Recently I have gotten my own dog who is a bit under two years old and that is the most experience I had with puppies but I do know quite a bit about training and am willing to care for young dogs as well. I love dogs with all my heart and grew up with them in the house. I don't have any cats in my family but I do know how important they are to their family and I love to take care of the cats I have taken care of in the past. I truly believe our pets are part of the family and deserve care and comfort when their humans are away. I am a full time student currently so I don't have the most time in the world but I am more than happy to take a break from school work to play and walk with pets and then maybe hang out together while I study before their dinnertime! I like to get a rough idea of the pets typical schedule and stick as close to that as possible, making sure everyone is fed on time, walked when walks are needed, and generally keeping them on the same schedule they are used to! I have found this to be the best option as it gives the pets a sense of normalcy in their routine while the family is away.

About: I have taken care of fur babies for a very long time. I love cats and dogs, and I will gladly feed your pet fish. No job is too big or too small. I work around you. I love animals, and love knowing your babies will be happily took care of. You can count on me for sure! I can take care of your babies, in your home, and in my home. My schedule and your schedule can be worked around anytime any day

I walk my own dog twice a day! and I would be more than happy to accommodate to any dogs needs whether it is a longer walk or a shorter one! I can do morning walks or middle of the day and even afternoons!

As well as making sure her water bowl is filled with fresh clean water.

House sitting will consist of myself coming to stay in the home with the pet/s. This will include all of the necessary actions such as walking, potty breaks, and feeding.

About: Growing up my family has raised and trained many animals; from dogs, cats, rabbits... all the way to chinchillas! I have no problem with size or species. If you have any questions feel free to ask! As a full time student weekends are best, but I am willing to make the trip on weekdays if need be. During vacations my availability is generally open! I love hiking, running and going for walks, and your pet is more than welcome to join! I have experience with raising animals from newborn to senior. My experience as an Eagle Scout has also given me experience with training in many things from home to animal care.

About: Just like humans, pet’s need exercise and enrichment for their mental and physical well-being. If you don’t have the time or ability to take your dogs out for walks, let me help! I have been in the veterinary field since 2006 and a Licensed Veterinary Technician since 2010. I have experience with all stages of life (puppy/adult/geriatric), medical needs, and behavior. I’m currently working part-time, so I can be flexible to accommodate your schedule. I can either walk in your neighborhood or take your dog to a walking trail. My pets and the pets I care for are a very important part of my life and I connect deeply with animals. I have a reliable vehicle and an excellent driving record and only walk at safe, well-known walking trails (think Creeper Trail, Sugar Hollow). I am sensitive to dog behavior and understand that each animal has unique needs and requirements.
