Pet Sitting Hickory

About: I have been a dog owner since I lived in my first apartment to my now single family home. I know the challenges that come with owning a pet in several different environments. We had our last dog for 16 years, managed all his senior care that comes with an aging dog. We now have a puppy and are currently training him at home. I currently work a flexible FT schedule remote. I find so much joy in walking our dog several times a day. I am available most mornings, evenings and weekends. I have a fenced in yard and my dog would love to play and keep yours busy! We also have a dog park in our neighborhood.

“Time and time again we've been so blessed in every way to have Anna take care of our kitties, Mermaid and Medusa!!! She I truly part of our family -- I am at a loss for words to describe the countless ways to she consistently goes above and beyond for us..... Anna, the grace, kindness, thorough care, safety, and love you have given to all four of us has enriched all of our lives in the most beautiful ways!!! You have given Ronnie and I so much peace of mind when we go away from home, and I have been able to travel quite far from home and fly without worrying about a thing!!!! From every thoughtful personal touch to ensuring big ticket things are taken care of (like meds, food, attention to the babies, litter, AND SO MUCH MORE), anyone can rest easily knowing their babies are in your care. Mermaid and Medusa LOVE YOU SO FREAKING MUCH ANNA!!!!!!!! THANK YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK!!!!!!!”

About: I have 2 frenchies, one boy and one girl, some fish, and I regularly pet sit for my friends and neighbors. I'm a current student at TCC and looking to save up for my future semesters. I'm working full time in the morning Wed-Sun, and I have classes at TCC Monday - Wednesday until 6 pm. I am available the most in evenings, however I can make time in mornings. While I'm not looking to keep any more dogs at my house, I love to leave everything looking better than I found it. My frenchies get regular baths, cuddles, walks, and treats, so I love to treat other dogs the same way if not better.

“Liv is so good with my girl! Liv gives great updates and comes on time. Will definitely use her again!”

About: As an animal lover, I’m passionate about helping families provide their fur babies with everything they need! I have extensive experience in animal care. During high school and college, I provided dog-sitting services for family and friends. I also worked at a boarding facility, caring for a variety of dogs and cats. Additionally, I spent over eight years working at an animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience with animal behavior, medical needs, and general care. I’ve attended multiple training sessions to enhance my knowledge, particularly in addressing behavioral challenges and specialized care. I’ve worked with animals of all temperaments, including dogs with stranger or dog-related reactivity, as well as those curious hounds who love to stop and sniff everything! I’m confident handling strong breeds, as well as senior pets that may need extra assistance. I’m also comfortable administering medications and working with dogs and cats with behavioral or medical issues. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize providing consistent, quality care to ensure pets feel safe, loved, and well taken care of. walks or playtime, I maintain their pet’s established routines as much as possible to minimize stress. I follow feeding schedules, exercise plans, and any specific instructions provided. I keep the space clean, respect the home, and ensure the pet feels secure in their familiar surroundings. Communication is also key—I keep clients updated with pictures or messages so they can feel at ease while I care for their beloved pet.

“Katelynn is one of the best rovers I have gotten to work with. She shows genuine care and concern for our pup! She has saved us a few times last minute which is so helpful with our schedule.”

Navigating neighborhoods and taking a good walk/run helps me also because I can get my steps in. Whether your pup needs to burn some serious energy before your workday kicks off or a solid mid-day stretch, I’ve got you covered. I'm a stay at home mom so I don't have much going on during the day. I would love to walk and play with your fur babies. When I’m dropping by or walking your dog, my main focus is keeping their routine smooth, safe, and stress-free. I treat your space and your pet with total respect—making sure leashes, keys, and doors are managed securely, water bowls are topped off And your pup is returned safely.

“Mario was very responsible with his drop-in visits with Cleo while we were out of town, which we truly appreciated!”

About: Hi, I’m Isabella! I have over 4 years of professional pet sitting experience and genuinely love caring for animals of all kinds. Pet sitting gives me the opportunity to step away from the fast pace of my day job and spend time doing something that brings me so much joy—caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their families are away. I’m currently the proud owner of a rescue Chihuahua named Stitch, a Velveteen rabbit, and a parakeet. Caring for multiple species has given me hands-on experience with dogs, small mammals, and birds, allowing me to confidently meet a variety of pets’ unique needs. Stitch has shown me just how healing and comforting our pets can be after a long day, and my goal is to give every pet owner that same peace of mind by providing dependable, compassionate care. For your confidence and your pet’s safety, I am certified in Pet First Aid and CPR. I’m also committed to continuing my education through PetSit Pro training, including: * Cat & Dog Poop 101 * Cat Body Language * Dog Body Language * Aggressive Cats and How to Handle Them * Safe Pet Sitting in Hot Weather * Enrichment for Small Mammals * Indoor Activities for Dogs * Bird-Care Basics for Pet-Care Professionals * Fish-Care Basics for Pet-Care Professionals Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their regular routine, I’ll provide personalized care tailored to their individual needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry, feathered, or small animal family member is in caring hands. I am mostly an open book and am free throughout the day. Feel free to message me and ask before booking or take a look at my posted calendar. I have great experience especially with cats and dogs. I will take them on long walks or potty breaks/ feed them for you. Whatever you need :)

“Sabrina saved the day when my neighbor couldn't watch my dogs for a night. She followed directions to a T and the dogs seemed very happy when I got home later that night.”

“Tiffany was awesome, we didn’t have to worry at all during our trip. We felt very safe with her watching our fur babies and we will definitely use her again. Five out of five stars!!”

About: I have had animals throughout my life and have learned how different pet personalities can be. I spent many years carrying for a senior dog. She could barely see, hear, or walk, but enjoyed life right ‘til the end. I also have three cats, a puppy and two house rabbits. So I have knowledge on many different types of animals, and look forward to meeting yours. I’m taking online class,(leaning towards veterinary assistance), and therefore have a flexible schedule for your pet’s walking and sitting needs and take the time to really get to know them Since I have a full house at home, I provide drop ins and walks instead of boarding. i’ll make sure your pets feel comfortable in their own space, and I’ll treat your home with respect and care every step of the way.

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.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 11. I recently had to let my two girls go, so I’m looking forward to loving on your babies. I have experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs. Both of my girls needed medication towards the end, so I’m familiar with administering pills on a schedule and anything else that goes with owning a senior dog. My oldest had dementia, so if your pup has that, I can handle the quirks that come with that. I’ve also watched my friends bigger dogs, and they love just as much cuddles as the little ones do. Taking your fur baby out for walks, cuddling with them, and playing with their favorite toys would bring so much joy. You’ll have peace of mind (and updates) if you let me take care of them like you would. Updated to add: due to the school year starting, I cannot start any in home care until after I get out of school on Fridays (my work is done at 3:30). I am a teacher, so during the weekends and summer I have all the time to spoil your precious baby. Being a teacher also means I can spend extended time with your pet during the summer. I’m very good at following schedules and routines to help make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I will love on them, play with them, and do anything else you need so both of you feel relaxed while you’re at work or on a trip.

“Knew my dogs were going to be well taken care of. Thank you!!”

I have experience with all kinds of dogs big, small, puppies, seniors and I’m good at matching their energy whether they wanna play a lot or just chill.I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re gone. I also know how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, so I’ll always keep you updated and make sure you feel good about everything. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I have a good amount of time to focus on your pet and not rush anything. I’m available most days and can work around your pet’s normal routine, whether that’s walks, feeding times, or just hanging out with them.I’m also good with last-minute bookings when I can, so if you ever need help, I’ll always try my best to make it work.

“I can't recommend Morgan enough! She took amazing care of my 2 dogs while I was away and followed every instruction perfectly. She made sure they got plenty of attention and even played fetch with my golden during every visit, which she absolutely loved. After it rained and the dogs tracked mud through the house, she even went above and beyond by mopping my floors without being asked. It's clear she truly cares about the pets she watches, and takes pride in doing a good job. I felt completely at ease 200 miles away knowing they were in such great hands, and I'll absolutely be booking with her again!”

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.
