Cat Sitting in Hickory Tavern

“Sarah is a dependable, prompt, and kind. Our puppy was well taken care of and we just knew Sarah loved him and our cats. She was always on time to walk our puppy and always had fantastic communication. She is an animal lover!!!! I highly recommend Sarah for your pet needs. I can’t say enough great things about her. 🥰🐾”

“Shannon was excellent with my 2 chihuahuas and my 1 cat while we were out of town. She took care of all their special needs and I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. I would definitely book her again when I have to go out of town.”

About: Fur babies are my favorite people! I have loved and cared for dogs, cats, chickens, guinea pigs, and numerous other creatures since I was a child growing up on a farm. A home isn't complete without at least one "paw-some" friend. I am self-employed as a financial coach and have a very flexible schedule to meet your in-home pet sitting, drop-in and pet walking needs. I am available seven days per week. Your pet will be less stressed about your absence when they can continue to play, eat and be cuddled in the comfort of your home, in surroundings that are most familiar and comfortable to them.

About: I have had four legged members of my family my entire life. I have taken care of everything from Great Danes to Corgis, from puppies to senior. I’ve given medication and comfort during scary thunderstorms. I work a five-day-a-week schedule, but my commitment to your pets is flexible and strong! I'm available for walks, drop-ins, and care visits before and after my work hours on weekdays. If your pet needs a midday check-in or potty break, I'm also happy to schedule a visit during my lunch break to ensure they're comfortable and happy throughout the day. Your pet's routine and well-being are my top priority, and we can discuss the best times that fit both our schedules. When I care for your pets, I also commit to treating your home with the utmost respect. You can trust that I'll look after your space as if I were visiting royalty, ensuring everything is left just as you like it. Simultaneously, your beloved pet will receive all the love, attention, and personalized care as if they were my very own, providing you with complete peace of mind while you're away.

About: Hi! My name is Baylee and I am a mom of 3 perfect little kiddos and 1 perfect little dachshund fur baby. I’ve always been a lover of all animals and worked at a humane society for a short period of time before becoming a stay at home mom. I would love to take care of your animals so please don’t hesitate to message me to ask any questions!! Thank you and have a fur-tastic day😉 I am currently a stay at home mom and full time student. While my kids are in school I’m looking to make a little extra money and would have plenty of time for your pets. I am able to come to your house let them out and walk them and/or let them play for a few hours at a time. I would feed them (upon your instructions) and give them all the lovings and belly rubbings they want.

“Thank you very much for your hard work! Did as instructed. Took very good care of my dogs and helped my cat Jiji back inside. Uploaded pictures to help me make the little ones were ok. Communication was great.”
