Cat Sitting Hickory

About: There has never been a time in my life when I did not have a pet. As an animal lover, I have taken care of hamsters, dogs, cats, and even a chinchilla throughout my life. My two dogs would tell you I love a good, long walk. I also have a veterinary assistant certificate from Clemson University. Let me help keep your pet safe and healthy! I currently have a flexible schedule as a substitute teacher and will have no issues scheduling any other obligations around care for your pet or walks with them. I will follow any rules you have for your pet first and foremost. Second, I will make sure the pet is comfortable and has everything they need. In my own home, I make sure that my dogs get plenty of exercise, enjoy treats and puzzles, practice their skills/tricks, play a lot, and have adequate time to rest.

About: I currently have two well loved pups, both on daily medication. I believe every pup deserves love, regardless of behavior or perceived aggression. I have experience with heartworm positive dogs as well as dogs who experience seizures. I am a current college student living at home with my family so I am available with lots of free time for your furry friend! I will occasionally have my partner over for meals or to just hang out if I am house sitting, depending on the distance and length of the booking. I believe that keeping an animal clean and safe is the best way to ensure health, as well as making sure the animal is comfortable with me. If I am watching someone who is shy, I am more than happy to give them their space (while ensuring they are safe).

About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and I always make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m also comfortable caring for energetic puppies, older pets who need a little extra patience, and pets who may take some time to warm up to new people. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and other care needs. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine so they can stay as comfortable and consistent as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, potty breaks, and household rules. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure and keep pets appropriately supervised. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is left clean and secure. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level so they can feel safe and relaxed while in my care.

About: I have taken care of multiple animals since I was around 13! I own three dogs, one golden retriever, one english cream retriever, a german shepherd, as well as a disabled cat!

About: • Individualized care: I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level—no one-size-fits-all care. • Emotional well-being matters: I focus on helping pets feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable while you’re away. • Routine-focused: I stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule so their days feel familiar and low-stress. • Clear communication: I provide consistent updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. • Care like my own: Every pet I care for gets the same attention, patience, and respect I’d give my own animals. My life revolves around what my animals need. I look forward to giving that quality care to your pet! I strive to give my animals the best life possible. I am excited to give your pets the best care. I follow instructions that pet parents leave. I double lead canines if needed. I double check all gear before heading out for walks. I advocate for your animal and make them the priority.

About: I have always loved animals of all kinds since I was a child. Any little creature, I would quickly take in and care for. The most precious of all was our sweet mini longhair black and tan dachshund - Willow (aka Snoozy and Lovey), who for 16 beautiful, snuggle-filled years, we were honored to be her mommy and daddy! We got her when she was just 8weeks old from some friends of ours, who's doxies had puppies, and she was our very heart for all those years. We sadly lost our baby November 11, 2025 at 16yrs old. Not a moment of every day doesn't go by where we do not think of her, remember her or talk about her. I am very experienced with the care, attention, and love these sweet babies need from puppies all the way up to senior care. Our baby-girl Willow developed CCD (canine cognitive dysfunction the last year of her life and my husband and I became extremely knowledgeable of the meds needed, traditional meds as well as herbal, along with the various adjustments that were needed with the focus of keeping her happy, comfortable and safe. This has helped me to be able to lovingly care for doggies of all stages of life and various needs. In February 2026, we began volunteering for Chesapeake Humane Society and Chesapeake Animal Services as foster parents. We wanted to share a loving home with animals who unfortunately, don't have what our baby girl had. I have also done pet sitting for quite a few of our friends over the years for a variety of doggies. My husband and I both work from home and our jobs are not stressful or overly demanding. So, it would not be an inconvenience or out of the norm for us to have a furry visitor during the week. Our weekends are a bit busier, but again our schedules are usually flexible, and with sufficient advance scheduling we have been able to sit for our friends, and foster dogs and cats successfully. In my home it is catered to each individual animal, we have a large kitchen area that we use as an introduction to our home, then if the dog or cat feels comfortable, we bring them upstairs with us to sleep in our upstairs hallway or our bedroom (either in their crate, or I have setup a sleeping area in our upstairs hallway with safety gates, also depending on the specific care, size of dog and age). I have never done client home care for pet sitting, but I plan on getting specific details from each client to know their individual pet's needs, comfort level, and any other details in order that their baby is safe, and happy.

“Great communication and excellent care. Thank you!”

About: Ive been in the veterinary field for 10+ years and have plenty of experience with dogs and cats. Im comfortable with everything from basic care like feeding or walking, to oral/injectable medication administration I work full time monday-Thursday. I can do check-ins during my lunch break and have no problems staying the night. I have 2 cats of my own who get routine healthcare. My cats are water fountains that are filled daily along with automatic timers to be fed.

I’m well aware each pet needs different approaches to trust and care and am more than willing to work with your pet how ever it needs

About: I currently have 3 dogs of my own and would love to have the opportunity to take care of your furbaby during the day. I am a stay at home mom and have time during the day to meet your needs. I am happy to be given the opportunity to entertain your baby at your home while you are at work. I have experience with puppies all the way to senior pets. I also have experience with administering medications if needed since one of my own dogs has daily and monthly medication needs. I currently do not work and have time to visit or walk with your baby to give you a peace of mind while you are away. I will ensure they are walked and or cuddled as needed. Also will take care of them with instructions are given to me to make their visit pleasant.

About: I have spent nearly my entire life surrounded by and caring for animals. My hands-on pet care journey started when I was just 8 years old when I got my first dog, and I welcomed my very first cat a year later at age 9. Over the last several years, I have successfully managed feeding schedules, playtime, and daily exercises for a wide variety of dog breeds and feline personalities.Currently, I am the proud pet parent of a beautiful chocolate British Shorthair, so I completely understand how important specific grooming, dietary routines, and environmental comforts are to keeping a pet happy. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk around the neighborhood or your cat requires a gentle, patient companion to check in on them, I provide trustworthy, dedicated care tailored entirely to your pet's unique personality and needs. - Full-Week Availability: I am available Monday through Sunday to care for your beloved cats. - Early Birds Welcome: Monday through Friday, my best times are early mornings before 7:00 AM. This is perfect for kitties who love an early breakfast or morning playtime! -Open Weekends: On Saturdays and Sundays, my schedule is completely open, and I am available at any time of day. - Dedicated Routines: Because my own daily routine already revolves around feeding, playing with, and caring for my kitten from the moment I wake up, I am always reliable and on time. - Earning Their Trust: I know that cats can be shy, but I have a gentle touch. My own 9-month-old kitten trusts me completely to brush her and clip her nails. - Experienced Family: My entire family owns both dogs and cats. I have spent years learning how to keep home environments completely safe, hazard-free, and secure for animals. - Home Security: When doing drop-in visits or house sitting, I double-check that all doors and windows are securely closed so your cat stays safely inside. - Peace of Mind: I follow your exact instructions for feeding, treats, and litter box cleaning. I will send you regular updates and photos so you know your cat is happy.

About: My name is Alannah and I am 20 years old. I love animals, I have experience pet sitting, I worked in a kennel and have helped deliver several litters of labs, I have had animals in my household since I was born, and I would love to help you keep your pets happy and cared for whenever you might need the extra help. I am in the military but work a shortened schedule, and I cannot have an animal of my own since I could go on deployments last minute. I love animals, dogs the most, and I would love so much to come take care of any pets and just lend some help. I currently work part time hours so I have plenty of time to care for animals. My average hours are 8-12 am. I have volunteered at some shelters to care for some cats and dogs, and I am actually considering fostering. I just love pets but am not in a stable enough environment to keep one with being in the military and I could have to leave for months on end with no notice. I am very respectful, will follow any and all restrictions / directions, and I have great decision making. I will know what to do to keep your pet safe and happy. Any sort of extra care I have no issue providing I am very attentive and very respectful of not only your wishes but also your space if you invite me to your home. I am eager and excited to help as needed.

“Kaylee was wonderful! She was so patient with all my needs as it was my first time leaving my baby girl. She sent me pictures and videos and left my place spotless. I’m definitely using her again!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs both big and small/young and old, I’ll always send you updates on your pets to let you know how our walk went without being asked, and I’ll treat your babies as if they were my own. I work an office job Monday to Friday from 8-4. I am free for walks in late afternoons/evenings during the weekdays, and have full availability on the weekend. I have two cats and they are very spoiled. I ensure that they always have fresh water, daily. I make sure they are given good food. And I play and cuddle with them all the time.
