Pet Sitting Grantville

About: I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog, because they are not “just a pet.” They are family. Whether you need dependable everyday care or someone to step in for a last-minute dinner date, I’m your gal, Val! I have spent much of my life caring for and working with dogs. My mother is a dog groomer by trade, so I grew up in a shop, knew our local shelter techs and vets, and even got to shadow veterinary surgical procedures as early as middle school. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, using specialized collars and harnesses, reinforcing established training routines, and caring for dogs with very different needs and personalities. I am patient with teething puppies, cautious rescues, high-energy pups who would rather walk me, and sweet senior “old geezers” who need a gentler pace or extra support for conditions like hip dysplasia. I understand that puppies need consistency, supervision, and positive reinforcement, while senior dogs may need medication schedules, mobility accommodations, and a little more patience. I also genuinely love big dogs, including the ones who think they are lap-sized (adorable, but factually incorrect). Most importantly, I treat every dog as an individual. Whether your pup needs an adventure buddy, a calm and reassuring presence, or someone who can confidently manage a detailed routine, I will make sure they feel safe, understood, and thoroughly loved. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pup lots of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I love having a furry coworker nearby. I can easily accommodate regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, exercise, and plenty of affection. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I follow each pet’s usual feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. I provide lots of playtime, affection, enrichment, and outdoor breaks based on their energy level and personality. I am also happy to send regular photos and updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is having a great time.

About: I work well with all Pets! I will do my best to work around your schedule. I love to keep parents updated and send pictures of their babies. I understand all animals have their own boundaries and I will do my best to respect said boundaries! I’m currently on active duty, I live very close to base so it’s easy for me to leave work when needed. I’m fully available weekdays and weekends! I have a fenced balcony and dog park in my neighborhood! Can accommodate to all families! Everything in my home is always put away and clean! I do like to do meet and greets so families can feel more come as well.

“I'm so glad I found Sara to pet sit my Emma. I know Emma will be well taken care of and she helps Emma not be sad missing me. She's the best!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and truly enjoy spending time with both cats and dogs. I’m a caring, patient, and responsible pet owner myself, so I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, companionship, and dog walks. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m also happy to send photos and updates during every visit so you can have peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate both weekday and weekend visits. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks throughout the day and will do my best to work around your pet’s usual routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I will carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, litter box care, and your pet’s usual routine. I’m respectful of your home and will make sure doors, gates, and locks are secure. During each visit, I’ll give your pet plenty of attention while respecting their personality and boundaries, and I’ll send you photos and updates so you know everything is going well.

About: Hi there! I’m a proud cat mom to Benny and Ellie, who love sunbathing and harness walks, and I was also lucky to spend 13 years with my Lab/Shepard mix, Lulu. I understand the guilt and anxiety that can come with busy schedules or traveling, which is why I aim to be the kind of sitter who sends lots of updates, photos, and love. I work from home full-time, which allows me to offer flexible scheduling, constant companionship, and attentive care. I provide house sitting, drop-ins, dog walking, and daycare services in my gated community with an enclosed patio, onsite dog park, and nearby hiking trails. Let’s connect! I work fully remote, which gives me the flexibility to plan my schedule around your pet’s needs! Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, playtime, or overnight care, I’m able to provide attentive and reliable care throughout the day. I have a gated patio where your fur baby can sunbathe and relax if they need some fresh air or they can enjoy roaming around my two level town home and hang out with my two cats who love to meet and befriend other animals.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have had multiple dogs to take care of over the last 10 years. Along with the daily tasks of my own animals, I would sometimes watch those of friends and neighbors as well. I have also recently assisted in boarding and walking services through Rover and in my free time like to volunteer walking dogs at local shelters. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. As a current college student away from my animals, I would love to help someone else out where needed to care for their companion! I currently have a flexible schedule that would allow me the perfect opportunity to care for pets! Any and all instructions given will be taken seriously and followed intently. Safety and health is of the utmost importance when it comes to caring for animals and I understand it is my role to do such.

“Shay was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond making sure our dog was taken cared of. I really appreciated the constant communication and reassurance that our dog was okay. Shay was very friendly and made it feel easy leaving our dog while we were away! She was very responsible and responsive as well. I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”

About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life by dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtles, and at 40+ years in, my love for them has only grown. I've pet sat for many households and have a natural ability to handle all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I'm a verified member of Trusted House Sitters (in which the primary is pet sitting), and I take that seriously. I'm experienced with medically complex pets. I've administered subcutaneous fluids, insulin injections, and oral medications. I also have cared for special needs animals including a three-legged seizure-prone Chihuahua, a teacup Chihuahua with broken elbows, and a German Shepherd with cow-hocks disease. If your pet has extra needs, they're in capable hands. My approach is calm, grounded, and playful and animals feel it. I'm a certified hypnotherapist and life coach, and the same energy awareness and patience I bring to people, I bring to pets. Anxious, shy, and difficult animals tend to soften around me naturally. My sister didn't call me the Cat and Dog Whisperer for nothing. :D I have a soft spot for the ones others overlook. I've rescued an abandoned Chihuahua-Terrier, adopted a shelter pup, and my two boys Bruce and Charlie came to me as feral kittens nobody else wanted. Every animal deserves patience, consistency, and genuine love and that's exactly what I bring to every walk and drop-in. I'm a San Diego local with regular availability in LA County as well, so wherever you are, I've got you covered. My schedule is flexible and I'm available most weekdays and select weekends, morning through evening. I don't operate on a rigid 9-to-5, which means I can work around your pet's needs rather than the other way around. Outside of pet care, I'm an active, outdoorsy person and love hiking, kayaking, and paddleboarding. That energy carries directly into every walk and drop-in. Your dog won't just get a stroll around the block, they'll get someone who genuinely loves being outside and moving. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities always. I follow your established routines closely and take detailed instructions seriously. Every home, every pet, and every owner is different, and I respect that. When I'm in your home I treat it with care. I leave things as clean or cleaner than I found them. Your space and your pet's environment will be respected. I'm extremely mindful of doors and escape artists. I know how quickly a curious pet can bolt, and I create my own blockades when needed to make sure no one slips out unexpectedly. I'm comfortable walking multiple dogs simultaneously including large, high-energy breeds. I've walked a Rottweiler and German Shepherd together, both with strong pulling tendencies, and handled them with confidence. You'll never wonder how your pet is doing. I send photos and updates daily including sometimes multiple times a day because I know how much you miss them and how much it means to see a happy face pop up on your phone. I also have hands-on experience with pet first aid, including applying Quik Stop for bleeding so minor mishaps are handled calmly and quickly without panic. Your home, your routines, your pet I've got all of it handled.

“Tyra was friendly, responsible, and communicative. My piggies got lots of treats, hay, water, and pellets. Tyra sent lots of pics and was there on time both days!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 15 years old and I’ve always had a genuine love for animals. Over the years I’ve looked after pets of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’ve volunteered at adoption and rescue centers. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply giving them plenty of attention and affection, I treat all pets like they’re a part of the family. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to providing loving care while you’re away. Although I am not a certified trainer, I happen to be very committed to become one and I think taking care of your best friend will help me get there. I am currently working a full-time job and I am available on the following days: Monday-Friday 6PM-10PM And Sunday 10AM- 8PM Please don’t feel discouraged to reach out on a day not listed! I live in a pet friendly apartment community with a dedicated dog spa, so your best friend can enjoy a bath if needed. I also have two friendly puppies fully vaccinated who can provide companionship for social pets. If your dog prefers their own space or has a different energy level I am able to safely crate or separate them to ensure every pet is comfortable, relaxed, and receives personalized care based on individual needs.

About: All through my life, I've had pets: dogs, cats, fish, you name it. I currently have two dogs, a Rhodesian ridgeback and a terrier mix. I've spent years pet-sitting and walking for friends, family, and neighbors. I grew up helping out around my grandmother's ranch. I've got well-rounded experience with all species, big and small, and equal love for them all. Being back home for the summer, I have plenty of time to give your pet the care they deserve. From morning and evening walks or lunchtime trips to the park, my days are open for your fur babies. Care is tailored to your pet and lifestyle. Dogs stay on leash in non-fenced areas, but in fenced backyards or dog parks, they're free to roam. Only pups with experience at dog parks will be taken to them. Water and food will be cleaned and refilled each day, and dogs who need to be crated will be. Weekly or even daily brushing will be determined by coat length and type. Most importantly, whether they're furry, pawed, or clawed. They all get loads of love and attention as if they were my own.

“Audrey was great with our cat! I would highly recommend her. She took great care of our very social cat and made sure to spend time and give her attention so she didn’t get lonely.”

About: Ever since I was a teenager my family and friends have relied on me to take care of their animals. Everyone knows they are safe while they’re gone. While most of my friends are focused on marriage/having kids, I am more focused on spending time with animals😂 I’m currently taking real estate appraisal courses so my schedule is very flexible! Right now, I’m taking online courses for my profession. In between classes I would like to take breaks by taking care of animals. It’s both a stress reliever and something I love to do. I keep an eye out for any safety concerns or measures that need to take place to ensure the safety of your animals. Safety is key!

“Brenda is an amazing pet sitter. She is always on time and really cares about pets in her care. She communicates very well and helped with administering medications to my cat. I would highly recommend her and my cat, who was very fond of her, would recommend her as well.”

“Caity is outstanding. She took such great care of our Maggie. She was so attentive and gave us daily feedback and updates. We were nervous about leaving her because she is a senior dog. Caity took such special care, she put us at ease and Maggie was a happy girl when we returned.”

About: Hi! I’m Charlie and I’d be honored to help you with your pet needs. I have recently moved (back) to San Diego from the east coast, where I ran Happy Trails Dog ranch boarding dogs in my home. I loved being surrounded by dogs all day and am sincerely missing it. While we get settled in CA I would love to get my dog fix by helping out with yours! I have experience with and am confident caring for dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments. I have been fostering dogs since 2020, and during that time I have come to understand that each dog has their own unique personality and have become adept at reading dog body language and helping them feel safe and comfortable with me. I would love to meet, become friends with and help out with your fur-friend and will take care of them with diligence, love and joy. I look forward to meeting your family! I am available for dog walking and house calls weekdays, between 9.30-3. Weekends and evening walks and house visits can be arranged on an individual basis. I will work with you to ensure your pet gets the best care and attention, specific to their individual needs. I am flexible and can care for them at your house or ours.

About: My husband and I have cared for animals, both cats and dogs, since childhood. We now have a home of one cocker spaniel / chihuahua mix who is a year old and two male cats (ages 5 and 2) who are extremely friendly with other cats. They have all behaved extremely well in previous instances of cat and dog sitting. We provide food, treats, morning and afternoon walks (for both cats and dogs), as well as visits to the dog park twice a day for dogs. We also have a enclosed patio, which allows pups to spend more time outside! My husband and I both currently work from home, which allow us to be accesible to your pet at all times. We already are very active with the pets of our own and would easily adapt to adding your furry friend to our daily schedule. We are extremely responsive via text or email and will keep you updated on your fur baby as much as is desired. We care for any pet as if they were our own. We prioritize the best interests of any pets which includes frequent play time, adequate walks, treats and ample affection

About: Caring for my own dogs since they were puppies has shaped my love for animals. This personal journey has taught me patience, attentiveness, and a genuine passion for every pet I care for. I’m currently an early development teacher with infants to preschool, and I’m excited to gain a different kind of experience as a puppy/dog sitter and walker. I’m available Saturday to Sunday; however, I’m also flexible, so please let me know a week ahead of time. By getting to know the pet’s preferences based on their behavior, I see if they’re comfortable playing or interacting with other pets or people, because a safe environment is a happy pet. I provide care exclusively in the pet’s own home to keep them in a familiar environment. I ensure a safe space by following owners’ routines, securing the yard, and adapting based on the pet’s comfort.

“Olivia has been amazing with our labradoodle, who’s very energetic and needs plenty of walks and attention! She’s done both drop-in visits and house sitting for us, and we always feel at ease knowing our pup is in great hands. She also took wonderful care of our home while we were away and kept in great communication the entire time. We came home to a happy dog and a spotless house, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
