Pet Sitting Heartside

About: I used to operate a rescue and shelter outside of Atlanta. I have experience with all types of animals in all types of conditions. Familiar with special needs, dietary restrictions, after surgery care, blind animals and more. I have always been an animal lover and I currently have 3 dogs I would like to make pet care my full time job. I currently do some side work in the construction field but would really enjoy spending all my time with the pets if possible I have a fenced in yard and two fully separated areas of the house and garage that open into the yard that can accommodate any animals who aren’t comfortable around other pets. I let my dogs on the couches and beds and they have free reign of the house

About: Volunteered and then worked full-time at an animal shelter, fell in love with our fluffy friends, and can't wait to make more! I was a long-time volunteer (2+ years) at the Ausable Valley Animal Shelter. Then I transitioned into a full-time position there as an animal technician and learned so much about general animal care, medication procedures, and sanitation requirements to meet state health codes. I truly miss being able to visit with new animals every day and look forward to bringing the bark (and meow) back into my life! I'm a student, which means class times are often at odd hours, leaving many mornings open to check in on pets, keep them company, or get in some doggy exercise! I am also available almost all Fridays-Sundays, making me the perfect option for pet sitting during your weekend plans. See below for more detailed availability (updated for Sept-Dec)! Monday : not available Tuesday : 7am-2pm & 6pm-10pm Wednesday : 7am-11am and 5pm-10pm Thursday : 7am-2pm & 6pm-10pm Friday-Sunday : all day availability I am an incredibly clean and organized person. I always try to leave the homes I pet-sit in just as they were when I entered, even if that means a bit extra clean-up!

“Kate is awesome with our kitties ... she was even able to coax our shy one from under the bed ... 😊 We will continue to call Kate when we travel!”

“Andy was wonderful! She communicated with me throughout and took such great care of my cats. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. She is kind, reliable, and truly loves animals. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and I will absolutely book with her again in the future.”

Emily P.

“I left my dog, Theo, with Kelsey and Forrest for a few hours, and definitely plan on using them again in the future! They were very accommodating, and facilitated a meet-up beforehand, so that Theo could get comfortable with them and their space before his stay. When I dropped him off, he didn’t even look back! Kelsey and Forrest are very trustworthy and obviously animal lovers.”

“Leah is amazing!!! Communication is awesome and she’s beyond flexible!! Been booking with her continuously and couldn’t be happier with her service!!!”

Hannah L.

“Our dog, Penny is an anxious rescue dog. She’s not an easy pup to work with because she’ll freeze with anxiety or avoid you until she’s comfortable. She immediately liked Hannah and we felt that Hannah could use her good judgment in any situation that might arise. I feel so fortunate to have found Hannah. We will definitely rely on Hannah in the future.”

Rhonda K.

“Had to do last minute planning and she came through! Thank you so much. You were great ❤️”
