Cat Sitting in Hartwell

About: I have provided pet care for dogs & cats since the 1980s. I have also cared for my pets over my lifetime: dogs, cats, rabbits,& birds. I also have experience with horses, llamas, pigs, goats, sheep, monkeys & lemurs. But I do NOT do spiders or snakes. Besides caring for my 3 rescue pups, I also run my own business, so my schedule is usually somewhat flexible. But my calendar books up quickly. I currently do drop-in visits at your home. I have my own transportation. Besides keeping to your pets feeding schedule, I am happy to spend time with them, if they're not afraid of new people. And I'm happy to walk dogs that are 40 lbs or less.

“Kaitlin did an amazing job taking care of my boys while I was on vacation! Followed instructions well, didn’t hesitate to ask questions and made sure my boys were well cared for and comfortable while I was away. Can’t recommend her enough! She was also available when my other sitters were not. Definitely going to be booking her again!”

About: I’ve loved animals ever since i was young. From giving puppies baths to taking them on walks, animals have always been a huge part of my life.. and i would love to take care of yours<3 I’m currently at home all week… i have extra time on my hands and would love to spend it with animals and that could be your dog or cat! I have a small fenced backyard and a quiet community that is great for walks:) we also have a screened in back porch that our cat loves to lounge in..

About: Pets have so much fun here, they try to come back in during pickup time! I’ve been caring and training dogs for 4 years. My family and friends also help play with dogs and give them extra snuggles. For boarding schedule between 7am and 745pm, only bring dog food. No bowls, no beds, no leashes, there are plenty of extras here. Several dogs here play together everyday like a big dog park so I can only take healthy active dogs that do not have any infectious or contagious illnesses. The best fit is a playful friendly dog that wants to run and have fun (not a dog that needs to be alone or the only pet). I cannot take senior dogs that need multiple medications or dogs with mange, or bordatella or heart worms. I provide several services including boarding, training, walking, daycare and more! My boarding schedule is usually 7am to 730pm for pet drop off and pet pickup. However, I take a day off or two and friends or family will substitute for me. I do have some family time at dinner so its best to schedule drop off and pick ups before 5pm or after 7pm to accommodate the time it takes for new arrivals. All pets get to play with other dogs. Every dog gets free time outside daily I ensure all dogs are safe and create a calming environment for them! Puppies and small dogs are welcome and do great here with the friendly group of little dogs.

About: I have a Bachelor's degree in Zoology, and Associates degree in Science and have cared for other peoples pets since I was 17 (August, 3 2026 I'll be 22) besides caring for my parents dogs and cats. I have expireance with special care needs like diabetic pets who need to be given insulin shots, elderly dogs with oral pills they would rather not take, and bouncing puppies who need to let out alot of energy. I also have owned many animals since I was little with minimal parental help. These animals include dogs, cats, snakes, mice, rats, fish, birds, spiders, and frogs. I have experience in highschool vet care and college lab and field experience in herpetology, ornithology, and ictheology. Your fur babies will love spending their time with me when you can't be there. I just graduated college and would love to make money doing somthing I'm good at; careing for animals. Since I just graduated and don't have another job currently I'm free at most times and would love to be of service to you. I will give my undivided attention to make sure your animal is happy and well cared for. I can take your dog to the dog park, and if you want I can bring my dog over for them to play. Dog/cat's needs and feed schedules can be precise. When I was caring for my aunts Diabetic cat I had to feed half of a 1/4 cup give him his insulin shot then feed the other half, this had to happen at 6am and 6pm exactly. The shot had to go into his opposite hip every time (left morning, right afternoon). I hope to offer your pet similarly the best care imaginable.

“Kirsten was a great find when I needed someone to watch my special needs dachshund while he stayed with my brother. He really enjoyed spending time with her and she was sensitive to his needs. Would absolutely rebook with Kirsten the next time I'm in the Covington area!”

“Jesse does a great job of keeping the animals on schedule and I was so relaxed all day knowing he was coming by to check on them twice while we were at a ball game in Athens.”

About: I have raised several puppies successfully and have helped a family member with caring for large litters of Great Danes. We have had senior dogs that have required medication administration, including insulin. I also volunteer at the heart Humane Society in Georgia taken care of the cats and the dogs that are waiting to be placed into a forever home. I currently work par-time so I have plenty of time for pet care. I do have other family in my home that can care for my pets if I am needed for over nights. I love caring for pets it makes me feel rewarded when pets respond positively with me. I have 2 dogs in my home both weigh approx. 50 pounds. Our yard is fenced in so they go in and out. I take them on walks and hikes to nearby waterfalls. They are fed twice a day, just dry food once and with shredded chicken the second time. I also bath them and trim their nails and brush their teeth. I would be happy to assist where I can with your pets routines.

I want your pet to be comfortable with me so whatever that consists of that is what I’ll do. If I’m taking care of them from your home I’ll do your normal routine.

“Alyssa did a 30 min drop in. She arrived early and stayed a little late and asked questions when she was unsure. I gave her limited instructions and she took the initiative to take the dogs for a walk and top up their water bowl. I was very pleased with her service and I would hire her again and recommend her to others.”

About: I had pets as a child. As an adult we became a dog family 10 years ago. He’s stubborn and way smarter than I am. I’ve learned so much loving on our Smitty. I’m patient and love to see their personalities shine. I work from home so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I would be happy to discuss your personal needs and work that into my day. I walk my dogs on leash on our property. For you I’d do what your pet is accustomed to. I’m very flexible and able to work with what works for you best.

About: I have taken care of many different animals not just cats a dogs and I make sure that the house and yard are cleaner than I found them. I am currently working part time as a 911 dispatcher and going to school which I would love to take around campus. I am available by phone at all times and have a decent amount of free time. I will always make sure the animal has what it needs and more. I will make sure everything in the house is in order before you come back and a healthy animal to go with it.

“Excellent will be using her again!!!”

“We were really pleased with her communication and care for our dog and would absolutely choose her again. Our dog seemed perfectly content when we returned home. She was very professional and listened to our requests.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 5 years now, from dogs to frogs! Some of my own and some from others I give each animal the love and care that they deserve. I love being outdoors in any climate whether that be hiking, jogging, or simply sitting in a field. I’d be more than happy to burn some energy with your fur baby! I work part time during the night which leaves lots of free time during the mornings to walk, feed, and check in on your pets. I occasionally have classes during the week, so I’ll already be up bright and early! I will provide your pets with loving attention, frequent walks and bathroom breaks, even playtime. I am sure to create a safe environment for your fur babies, if that means a mini play date or introduction session before sitting I am down for it all. I will stay loyal to the given instructions with proper feeding times and administer medication if/when needed.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I truly love every moment of it. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, including seniors and energetic puppies. I always focus on keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable, whether it's for daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays. You can count on me to treat your pet like my own! As a college student, my schedule is flexible between classes. I can do late mornings, midday check-ins, and early evenings, with open weekends for extended care or overnights. Your pet's routine comes first. I care for pets in their own homes so they can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I always follow your instructions carefully and keep your pet's routine consistent. Whether it's walks, playtime, or feeding, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away.
