Cat Sitting in Hawkinsville

About: I’ve been caring for pets professionally and personally for several years, and it’s truly something I’m passionate about. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to mellow seniors and I always take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine as a structured, essential part of the day just like eating or working. • Morning: Feed pets, refresh water, take dogs for a walk or clean litter boxes. • Midday: Walks, playtime, or drop-in visits if providing services to clients. • Evening: Dinner, another walk or potty break, brushing or light grooming. • Safe environment: Pet-proofed spaces, separate areas if needed for different pets. • Feeding on schedule: Following owner instructions exactly, including dietary restrictions. • Exercise/playtime: Supervised yard play, walks. • Comfort & rest: Cozy resting areas, routines that mimic their home life to reduce stress. • Updates to owners: Daily photos or messages to reassure and stay transparent.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. We have always had dogs in our home, and we currently have five furry friends living with us. Neighbors, friends, family, and coworkers have all relied on me to give the best care to their best friends. I walk, feed, bathe, and play with dogs of all kinds and sizes. I would love to do the same for you and your friend. I currently work full time in middle Georgia, but have time during the day to take a break, have time in the evenings, and have open weekends to care for your pet. In my own home, I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for my own dogs to run and play. In your home, I would use the available area to make sure your dog is taken care of. I am willing to take pets on walks in the surrounding neighborhoods, as well as playtime in the dog’s home. I currently work full time, so my care during the week days would be in the mornings, during a lunch break between 11-1, and again in the evenings. During the weekends, I have open availability to walk, dog sit, and care for your pet. Safety and high quality pet care are my main concerns. I will always use the available space to ensure both myself and your beloved pet remain safe. I am very experienced with leashed walks, both in public areas and private areas. I will always do my very best to ensure your pet is safe and stress free in whatever environment they prefer to be in.

“Leia was amazing! She watched our boys while we are trying to settle into our move for our new home. She was very attentive and provided comfort via consistent communication which I’m sure most of us need when we’re away from our babies! Can’t begin to recommend her even more!! Thank you again Leia!!”

About: I am a 37 year old woman who has worked at vet clinics as a groomer/tech for 10 years and 1 years as a professional dog walker and pet sitter. I do offer service for more than dogs and kitties. I also have experience caring for reptiles and birds. If you have livestock please feel free to message me.

I stay home full time in a house on 14 acres. We have a 500sqft fenced in play yard for the dogs. Your pet will get to enjoy lots of play time and walks (on leash) or off leash if you have an e-collar, play time in the play yard, kiddie pools for swimming during warmer months, and lots of comfy naps on the many dog beds we have for our guests. Feel free to bring your pet's bed, smelling their own home can make them feel more comfortable. I live with my boyfriend who also loves pets! We do have an 8 year old spayed cat that is used to dogs staying over. We also have a 4 year old, neutered German Shepherd mix, a 4 year old hound mix, and a 6 year old Jack Russell mix. So your pet would have plenty of interaction both human and animal! If your dog isn't cat friendly no big deal, we have a cat room! Just message me. Monthly flea and tick as well as heartworm prevention is recommended as we do live in the woods. I do require proof of up to date vaccinations.

If you'd like me to give your pet a bath, trim nails, express anal glands, clean ears, brush teeth feel free to inquire about prices. Disclaimer- Prices depend on breed and condition of the coat and services requested It is not just the flat $35. am currently not set up to do haircuts in my home but I can do basic sanitary cuts, trim faces, nails, ears, and bath.

Why I love dog sitting I have grown up with dogs and other animals my entire life. I have worked at vet clinics since 2005 as a pet groomer but was also taught to perform tech duties. I had a highly successful dog walking and boardinf business in Boston. I have former client references available. The household Is a 3 bedroom home on 14 acres.

This also covers mail, packages, plant care, and leaving your home exactly the way it was left. Many dogs (and cats) prefer to be in their own environment My experience administering medication Having worked at vet clinics and also having a family pet that required daily medication, I am quite comfortable administering mediation. My pets and I have our own routine but I will keep your pet on their normal schedule. I am home 7 days a week. We have a large fenced,play yard that encompasses the front and back yard for off leash fun. I do hikes on our back acreage on leash or e-collar if your dog has good recall. In your home everything is exactly the way you care for your pet. I stick to their schedule and how you care for them. I encourage clients to email me or leave a written schedule and any important information about the house and get information.

About: I got my first dog at 11. He was a dachshund/corgi mix. A few years later my family got 2 GSD dogs. I taught all of them to do basic tricks and to walk nicely on a leash. I also would take my Aunt's pit bull and westy terrier out on walks and watched them for her. I've volunteered at veterinary clinic doing basic care on the pets boarded there. I am curranty working part time so I will have plenty of time throughout the week to checking on your fur babies. I have a morning shift but, I'll be able to let them out and feed them in the morning and then have plenty of time to play/ take them out on walks in the evening. My house does not have a fenced in yard so I'm am unable to board pets at my place while we find a contractor to build one, but I'm will to commute to take care of anyone's pets

About: I own & sit for many years. I’ve trained & i’m open to elderly pets. Animals are truly my passion! I understand that everyone needs a vacation from time to time and I’m here to secure the pet sitter option. I work part time so I have plenty of time for drop in and walks! Open to dogs & cats no matter how large or small. I have 2 German shepherds and the are complete opposites. I understand the need & wants from a dog that likes to sleep and occasionally pet and one that has enough energy to play sunrise and way past bedtime.

About: Caring for animals isn't just a job for me, is something I love to do. I have over 25 years of experience taking care pets and I was a volunteer rescuer in my home country. Additionally, working as an veterinary assistant help me to feel confident and skilled in handling special needs from administering medications and performing first aid. You can have peace of mind while you are traveling, knowing your furbaby is in good hands because I consider pets part of the family and I will approach every job with the same dedication as they were my own. I'm currently working part time with a flexible schedule that I can adapt accordingly your needs. I will do my best to match the routine you have with your pet, that way your furbaby will feel more calm and safe. I always follow the client instructions and always try to match their routine to make feel the pet more calm. Additionally, I always like to send pictures or videos to the owner showing how they are doing.

About: Hi! My wife Anna Bay and me are avid dog lovers! Our dogs, Ella and Polo, are our children and we take care of them and other dogs like they're our own! We enjoy playing with dogs, running with dogs, going for walks, training and using treats! We would love to give your dog a home for a few days or walk them while you're away. Thank you for considering us, and please feel free to ask any questions! We do ask that you bring a crate/kennel for your dog! Finally, unfortunately due to past bookings we will have to ask that any damaged items will need to be replaced if your dog gets a little curious during their stay! We understand that dogs will play with whatever they find interesting and we will do our best to watch them 100% of the time, but in the small instances where we cannot we’d ask that the owner’s own the responsibility for replacing damaged items! Thank you for considering us and we hope to keep you pup real soon! Sincerely, Keith and Anna Bay Hutchison

“I had never used Rover before so I was a little nervous. Kaytlin did am excellent job though and surpassed all my expectations. My cats loved her and she sent lots of pictures. She genuinely cared about my animals. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter and will definitely use her again!”

About: I love animals; I have 4 high-energy dogs myself. I have been dog-sitting/ house-sitting since I was 14 years old, and I know the value of some extra pet love!! I am a college student starting in the summer semester. I currently have a completely open schedule and would be happy to help with your pet's needs. I have been traveling to care for pets in others' homes for eight years. I think part of caring for the animal is taking care of the home they are used to!

“Sydney was great!! She sent frequent updates and pictures of my cats, was very kind and professional! My babies loved her!”

“Laura was amazing. This was our first time using Rover and getting a dog sitter and we couldn't be happier. She was punctual, and was able to handle multiple medications for one of our dogs with ease. We'll definitely be using her in the future any time we go out of town.”

About: I’ve grown up with animals in my life since I was born and my mom worked at a Vet Clinic for 13 years so I’ve seen my fair share of all sorts of breeds! From little Pugs to giant Cane Corsos! I’m up for anything and happy to help in anyway I can! I am usually free throughout the week especially with a heads up I should have no problems being able to help you out with whatever needs to be done! And I’ll be happy doing it! I have a dog named Motley who is 4 years old! She’s a mutt but we love her so much and she gets along well with other animals. Sometimes she’s a bit excited with new people/ animals but she is crate trained and potty trained so shouldn’t be a problem!

About: I have experience with all types of animals from dogs to cats or even ferrets to ducks. I have enjoyed raising a variety of different animals from exotic to common animals. I love the outdoors I am friendly with all dogs any size and all cats no matter how grumpy. I’m currently freelancing as a painter among other things. So I’m free a lot. I love to be outside and take walks. As I will make sure that your beloved pup is given the love, care, and attention they need. I have a fenced in pool area and a backyard for your dog to run freely if needed. However, I can also take care of your pet inhome so they feel comfortable and safe in their own surroundings at home.

“Kaila is a true gem! She's a very friendly, caring, punctual, and most importantly, trustworthy pet sitter. She followed our detailed instructions as she cared for our furbaby and that eased our minds while we were away from home. Thanks for the pics! Kaila is very accommodating, even with her busy schedule and we certainly appreciated that. She will be our go-to pet sitter for all of our future requests. No need to look any further!”

About: I have had passion for animals since I was a kid. They are humans to me. I have had 2 dogs that I’ve owned myself. My first dog was stolen she was a blue moose pit. I now have a Border Collie Mix . I train all animals & get them crate trained. I also teach the normal commands. Such as sit , lay , paw , give hugs. I tell my baby boy to go to his room or his bed so that way feels comfortable . I am also patient with animals. I love to walk and also cuddle with the animals. We have a dog park that’s near by I take King . What sets me different from others is I love animals as if they are my personal babies. I have a fur baby at home . I feed my baby every morning go on walks before I go to work , I also train my fur baby. I will take care of your fur babies as if they were my own with some much love and quality time . I will feed , walk , play and also make sure your baby is safely taken care of.

About: Sometimes when i dog sit I think to myself “I am really being payed to do one of my favorite things!” And it brings me so much joy. I feel like that is where the love comes from in dog sitting. If you don’t love doing it, then what love is there to be felt by the animal. There has to be love in every thing you do and in every word you say to them. I treat animals with respect as i was taught to and I make sure that when you are gone, your furry companion is getting almost all the love and attention they need until you can come back and give them your own again :). I specialize in caring for the animals that you may struggle to find care for! (The ones that may catch a bad rep: Pitts, Rotties, Dobermans, or Danes) I assure you that all of your friends and/or children are safe and cared for with me! I work part time throughout the week and my shifts are only 5 hours at max(with a break in between). So I have all the rest of the day to care for your pets. I do not offer daycare services currently. When given any rules on how to respect or care for your home (and your privacy) I can assure you i will be very quick to acknowledge and abide by your boundaries.

“My sweet boy loves her so much I'm jealous!!! Catherine is just great. Couldn't ask for a better caregiver.”

About: I have the most experience with small dogs since I had a schnoodle for many years. She was my best friend and we lost her in 2020. I loved giving her baths, walking with her, playing with her, and just sitting with her, so I have experience in those areas with small animals. I am currently an educator and I have a new baby on the way (December 2023) and so I would be mainly available on weekends, including Friday's after 3pm. We of course have holidays off and so I would be able to care for your pets on those days as well. Depending on your work schedule I could always walk pets any time after 3 during the weekdays and any time during the weekends when I am off. I know everyone cares for their pets differently and so whatever rules you have specific for your fur babies and home I would respect. I personally did not allow my dog in the kitchen or on furniture but if that is something you do not mind, please let me know. I do not abuse or harm animals to get them to comply. I will always find other alternatives for that.
