House Sitting in Hickory Grove

“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful - I think one of my cats and probably my dog was sad when we got home 🤣 she was really good with their quirks and our general absurd care instructions and she sent adorable photos showing them all having fun. It made it easier to relax on my much needed vacation knowing that my fur lovies were happy and loved! Will absolutely be using her services again!”

About: I have had dogs in my family since I was born and I absolutely love all dogs great and small. I have cared for dogs from puppies to seniors and even a cat (shocking I know)! I currently work from home and I am able to give great attention to your pet. If you need any urgent care, just let me know. I like to let pets warm up to me, I don’t like to try and pet them or hold them - I think it’s better to let them learn to like you. Once they’ve accepted me, I’m their best friend!

“Highly recommend! 10/10! 5 stars. Charish was so sweet to our pugs and sent many updates. She was also so kind and a really respectful guest in our home. We can’t wait for her to care for our girls again!”

About: No animal is too much for me! Snakes, rats, anything! I love any species of animal, and no animal is too hard for me to take care of! The rarer the better! Just give me the rundown of what your pet needs, and I can do it! No matter how nasty or scary! I can care for pets as much as you need! Obviously, I need to take care of my little kitty, Binx, but I will always find time for your pets as well! Any pet is as precious as my own to me! I care for my kitty, Binx, like he is my own son. He is spoiled, and everyone loves him! He is the kindest kitty and was raised to know what and what not to do. He's a smart little fella, and the way I raised him is definitely a huge factor in this.

“JaNiya took amazing care of my dog Finch! I’m so grateful to her even in short notice she was able to help me out. She is very knowledgeable, communicative and easygoing. I will definitely be booking with her again.”

“This was our first time to leave our dogs with a sitter other than family. We were very happy with the way Abbi took care of our dogs and our house. Even though she had to work her second job, she made sure the dogs were taken care of before she left. The only complaint was that she is very shy and just needs to communicate a little more with her customers so they know exactly what is going on with the pets. Otherwise we would definitely recommend her and use her again.”

About: I’ve had animals ranging from Great Danes to chihuahuas to cats since I was a little girl. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals. They are like children to me. I am very kindhearted and compassionate for caring for all animals. I have cared for puppies, kittens, seniors and even farm animals. I also have experience in giving medication and shots to animals. I am also a Nurse Tech at a hospital. I am a very experienced and loving caregiver for animals and humans! I am mostly at home all day. I occasionally go out to the store to run errands. I’m usually never gone more than a couple hours tops. I have a fenced in front yard to ensure your fur babies are kept safe, 2 Labradors (who are very friendly to both dogs and cats) that can keep your babies comfortable by giving them play time, I also have dog crates if needed. I have a cat ( very friendly, mostly just stays to herself) who is very laidback, she just lays around and sleeps all day. I can accommodate any request you may have. I’m very flexible.

“Makayla did a fantastic job. All pets and the house are good. Will certainly use Makayla the next time we travel. Thanks so much!”

About: I’ve always loved animals! And all my life I’ve always done something with them. Whether it be in boarding and daycare facilities-grooming-mobile grooming-volunteering at shelters all of it! I do have a job! But i always find times to care for those who trust me enough to give it. I’ve been doing this for many years so finding a just right schedule has been easier to manage! I personally like to schedule meet and greets before any overnight stay,dog walking,check ins ! Bevause that levels a ground of calmness and knowledge for the pet rather then showing up out of the blue. I always follow strict feeding protocols and make sure to communicate with the owners about how they expect things to be done for there furry friends.

“This was my first time using Bradishia as a sitter. She was very attentive towards the care of my dogs, and provided great care. I hope to use her again in the future!”

“Tony was great with my 3 large dogs. Came over the night before to meet them and go over my care instructions for them. He sent me pictures and updates throughout his stay at the house. My dogs seemed to love him. Highly recommend and would definitely use again!”

About: I’ve cared for animals for many years and have always been someone friends, neighbors, and family can rely on to help care for their pets. I understand how important it is to feel that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a calm and comforting presence, I aim to provide dependable care and regular updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m currently available Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 8PM for dog walking, drop-ins, and pet care visits. I also have weekend availability but I’ll have to discuss it with my future clients first. I also offer overnight pet sitting in clients’ homes depending on your pet’s needs and comfort level. I enjoy building routines with pets and making sure they receive consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I aim to be flexible, dependable, and communicative so both pets and owners feel comfortable and supported. I believe pets deserve patience, attention, and a safe, comforting environment while their owners are away. I enjoy spending quality time with animals through play, walks, cuddles, and giving them plenty of affection and companionship. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions provided by owners to help pets feel secure and comfortable. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I aim to create a calm, loving, and dependable environment where pets feel cared for and safe.

About: I provide a calm, safe, and structured environment where pets can truly relax and feel at home while you’re away. After many years working as a software engineer, I’m now retired and finally able to focus on something I’ve always loved — caring for animals. I’ve spent a lifetime around dogs, cats, and even chickens, and I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, they’ll receive patient, attentive care in a low-stress environment — not a crowded kennel or chaotic setting. At my home, pets enjoy a peaceful atmosphere, outdoor space, and even access to a private trail for safe, supervised walks and enrichment. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind, and to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for — just like family. Being retired allows me to dedicate a lot of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m home most of the day, so they are rarely left alone and can enjoy a calm, consistent environment. I naturally build my daily routine around their needs—regular feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest. I also adapt to each pet’s habits and energy level, whether they need more activity or a quieter pace. Because of my flexible schedule, I can provide close supervision and make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for throughout their stay. I provide a safe, clean, and calm home environment where pets are always supervised and treated with care and respect. I take time at the beginning of each stay to understand your pet’s routine, habits, and any special instructions so I can keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. In my home, I ensure the space is secure and pet-friendly, with no access to anything unsafe. Pets have a comfortable area to rest, fresh water at all times, and a clean environment. I closely supervise interactions and never leave pets unattended in situations that could pose a risk. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully, and I monitor behavior to quickly notice any signs of stress or discomfort. If needed, I can separate pets to ensure everyone remains safe and relaxed. My goal is to create a trusted environment where pets feel at ease and owners feel confident that their pets are in good hands.

“Katherine was great. She took very good care of Jax and definitely went the extra mile for him. I would definitely book with her again.”

About: Boarding dogs gives my service dog, Saint, and I the opportunity to enjoy my time with special pups. Saint is the best of dog and I provide a seasoned, experienced handler for your pup. I have short and long-term boarders who stay for anywhere from a day to 3 months. Daily : I care for pups during the day. I enjoy walking through my beautiful, peaceful neighborhood and going on adventures. I will take a lot of photos of your adorable pup! Safety, trust & environment: I provide a safe, clean environment at my flat. I wash and disinfect all blankets, toys and hard surfaces between/during each pups stay. I keep first aid supplies on hand for immediate care: everything from hotspots, ear infections and abrasions. I require confirmation of vaccination and flea / tick preventative measures for each dog. I always discuss stay expectations and, when possible, walk through my flat with you, so you know with whom and where your BFF is staying.

“Courtney took wonderful care of our aged dog and our home during our vacation. Our dog's advanced age took special care and attention, and she worked with him, convinced him to eat, adjusted his diet as needed, gave him walks in the rain, and helped him deal with our absence. Many thanks to Courtney!”

About: I've always been the neighbor to care for neighbors pets when they are out of town. I've owned various breeds of dogs for 42 years and cats for 40 years. I love animals! I can help with the needs of your bird as well. I love overnights. Being retired, my schedule is flexible just let me know when you need me! The schedule is flexible I try not to work with animals after 10pm I can board pets in my home or yours. Wherever the pet is more comfortable. Pets are more "relaxed" in their own homes, but mine is available.

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and have spent the last several years providing dedicated pet care for friends and family. My experience ranges from standard pet sitting to managing more complex care requirements, ensuring that every animal in my charge feels safe and well-attended. I am highly comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from small to large breeds. Beyond basic care, I have significant experience assisting dogs with special needs, including the accurate administration of medications. In addition to my canine experience, I am fully equipped to care for cats and all of their specific needs. My background also extends to farm animals; I have hands-on experience caring for chickens, goats, pigs, and turkeys. If you have a multi-pet household, I am more than capable of managing several animals at once, ensuring each one receives the attention they deserve. ​I am available any day of the week for evening bookings starting after 6:00 PM. I understand that schedules can change unexpectedly, so I am open to last-minute requests and overnight stays within this timeframe. Whether you need an evening check-in or extended overnight care, I am committed to providing your pets with a high-quality, stress-free experience. While I do not offer boarding services in my own home at this time, I specialize in providing dedicated care within the comfort and familiarity of your pet's own environment. I am available for evening care (after 6:00 PM) and overnight stays, ensuring your home remains secure and your pets remain in their established routines. ​ ​I believe that every animal has a unique personality and set of needs. I take extra care to be exceptionally gentle and patient, especially with pets that may be shy, senior, or have special requirements. Whether I am administering medication or simply providing companionship, my priority is to move at the pet’s pace to build a foundation of trust. ​ ​When staying in your home, I treat the space with the utmost respect. I maintain a clean environment and follow all safety protocols—such as double-checking locks and ensuring fences are secure—to give you total peace of mind while you are away. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know your pets are safe, happy, and receiving high-quality care.
