Pet Sitting Grottoes

“Samantha is the best. She is so caring to our babies and detail-oriented. Our family is so happy to have found her and plan on utilizing her drop in services as much as she allows us to!”

“Annalise was THE perfect caretaker for our 3 “very different” kitties… 2 elderly and one youngster. I am so thankful to have found her! All instructions were followed to the letter… even with an ice cube in the water that’s a special treat they like. :) Great pictures were sent each visit to show them safe and loved. Our one little girl is on thyroid medication, which makes me a little anxious to leave her. My fears were calmed when I came home and saw each dose was documented the way I like it. Thank you, Annalise! My littles were perfectly calm and happy when I arrived home last night. ❤️”

About: Hello! I’m Emma, a recent college graduate and current Masters of Social Work student who’s been missing having animals in my life. I’m not quite ready to adopt again just yet, so I’d love the opportunity to give your pets some extra love and attention! My Experience: I cared for my own dog, Kirby, for 12 years, taking care of his daily walks, meals, playtime, and everything else that came with being a pet parent. He passed away in 2024, and caring for other people’s pets has been a wonderful way for me to keep animals in my life. Professional Experience: In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve spent over 5 years caring for dogs and cats for friends, family, and clients. I have experience with pets of many different breeds, sizes, and ages, including pets with additional medical, behavioral, and daily-care needs. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and instructions closely so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’m responsible, communicative, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away through patience and understanding. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pet and give them the same patience, attention, and affection I would give my own. I’m a fast communicator, respectful of your home, and always do my best to leave things even cleaner than I found them. I look forward to meeting your furry family member! General: I also have experience helping with feral cats through TNR, socialization, finding foster homes, and coordinating medical care for pets. I’m the kind of person who carries pet treats when I travel because I can’t resist saying hello to an animal I meet along the way! I typically book weekend only clients due to my work schedule in mental health treatment! For weekend stays I am available to stay full-time at your home to provide daily care for your pets. I always ensure quality care for my clients pets and treat them as if they were my own! All clients pets are treated with a high level of care and responsibility. You can expect to hear from me updates, pictures, and questions to make sure your pet is receiving the highest level of care.

About: My husband and I have rescued several dogs for many years. We had 8 elderly dogs at one point in our home. We currently have 3 dogs, which are walked many times a day. I currently work close to home, and am able to stay over at a client’s home if need be. I also have two grown daughters that would love to help walk dogs or cats and take care of them, provide attention and just spend time with them playing in the house. I am very responsible, am a professional careeer woman just seeking to make a little extra money doing something I love, being with animals. I can certainly provide personal references. I am currently working full-time Monday through Friday, but I am able to pet sit or house sit after work as well as on the weekends. I prefer the dogs I sit for to have harnesses instead of collars, as they provide more security. I also do light housekeeping in the home if requested.

“Reliable with two wild six month old puppies. Would recommend.”

About: I have raised and trained my own Alaskan Malamute/German Shepherd mixed dog as a wonderful and unforgettable companion. I would love to share my experience and care with your furry companion as well. I work from home so I am glad to offer pet assistance and services often. I can also work from a laptop or my phone so I’m glad to travel and serve as I can. My Alaskan Malamute is an inside/outside dog. He enjoys his time on my front lawn via a simple shock collar and has free roam within my home.

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and am comfortable with pets of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I have owned and cared for two different types of dogs, giving me hands-on experience with daily feeding, exercise, playtime, and general pet care. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have dog-sat for multiple families and have experience managing the needs of several dogs at once. I have also provided cat-sitting services, including feeding, litter box maintenance, and companionship. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have a part-time job with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the week. My schedule is very flexible, so I can accommodate feeding times, walks, playtime, medication schedules, and check-ins as needed. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of attention and exercise, and feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety by keeping doors and gates secure, monitoring pets closely during walks and playtime, and providing updates so owners can feel confident their pets are well cared for. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

About: As a Kennel Worker and Veterinary Assistant at Crosspointe Animal Hospital, I fed and exercised animals, cleaned kennels and treatment areas, safely restrained pets during exams and procedures, assisted with vaccinations and routine treatments, monitored animals for signs of illness or injury, and updated veterinarians on patient conditions. I also interacted with pet owners and helped ensure animals received attentive, compassionate care. I am always available, and pet care fits easily into my routine. I can adjust my schedule as needed to provide consistent feeding, cleaning, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day or week without conflict. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, maintain feeding and litter box routines, secure doors and entry points, and monitor behavior closely. My experience with both domestic and feral cats at an animal hospital, along with cat-sitting for friends, has taught me to use calm, patient handling to build trust and ensure each pet feels secure and well cared for.

“Bella did a great job and I was glad to know my kitties were taken care of while we were away for such a long time!”

About: Hi! I am a lover of all animals and am excited to meet your fur babies! I recently had to put down my golden retriever mix so I currently just have a 14 year old shorthair cat. I grew up in a household full of dogs (mainly black labs) and a few cats and have been around them my whole life. I am also a former SPCA volunteer of 2 years. Can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I am a full time stay at home mom to a toddler who also loves animals just as much as I do. He is very shy but loves meeting new pets. I have a cat but she doesn’t enjoy other animals very much so I currently am not able to bring your animals into my home. However, I will make sure your pets are well taken care of and comfortable if their home.

About: Since I’ve been living on my own, I’ve had 3 dogs. Three Golden Retrievers over the last 30+ years. They are the best animals and I will take care of your dog as if it was my own. I can take care of animals Friday nights and all day Saturday and Sunday. I am available to stay over to watch animals on Friday and Saturday nights. I can come by houses to walk dogs or feed animals anytime after 5:30 during the week from Monday to Friday. I will come to your house and walk dogs, feed animals, and even clean litter boxes if needed during the work week. On Friday and Saturday nights, I can stay over.
