Cat Sitting in Island Forty

About: Hi! I'm a pre-vet student with hands on animal care experience and a genuine love for animals of all kinds. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can fully trust, so I focus on providing attentive, dependable care while making sure your pet feels safe and loved! Whether its walks, playtimes, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet as my own. My goal is to give owners peace of mind while creating a fun, calm, and caring experience for their pets. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine and is something I prioritize and plan around. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and some weekends depending on the day. I’m able to accommodate regular visits, drop-ins, walks, and feeding schedules, and I make sure to build my commitments around each pet’s needs. I’m reliable with timing and communication, so pet parents can feel confident their pets are being checked on and cared for as planned. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, medication schedules, and any specific behavioral needs or preferences each pet has. I make sure doors are secured, litter boxes are clean, water is fresh, and the space is kept tidy and comfortable. I also focus on building trust with each pet by moving at their pace, especially with shy or anxious animals, and giving them gentle attention and reassurance. I treat every home with respect and care, keeping everything clean and leaving things exactly as I found them. My goal is always to ensure both pets and owners feel safe, comfortable, and confident while I’m there.

“Abby was fantastic with my baby! She was patient with my incredibly stubborn Shiba, she was caring and attentive, always showed up on time for delivering timed medication, and I will not hesitate to book her the next time I’m out of town!”

“Ashley was great with my dogs. She’s very loving and has a calm demeanor that keeps them at ease.”

About: I stand apart from other sitters because of the specific strengths you naturally bring to the job the things most sitters overlook but parents value the most. and I will treat your fur babies exactly like I treat mine like the babies they are no matter the size and age. Pet care fits into my routine pretty naturally. Since I work full time Monday–Friday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., I usually handle the essentials after my shift. In the mornings, I make sure pets are fed, let out, and settled. After work, I take care of things like walks, playtime, and any cleaning that needs attention. On weekends, I have more flexibility for longer activities like park time or deeper cleaning. I care for pets in the home by focusing on routine, safety, comfort, and communication. The exact approach depends on the service I offer—pet sitting, dog walking, boarding, drop‑ins, or overnight care—but the core principles stay the same.

“Our experience with Alexandria was 100% positive! In addition to caring for our pup, Enzo, she was super diligent in arranging just the right times to drop in so that Enzo wouldn't be alone too long until our return from traveling.”

“Jenny was amazing and so accommodating!! I really appreciated all her pictures and I could tell my dog was so happy when I got home, despite being gone all day. I will definitely book her again!”

About: I worked at the PetSmart Pets hotel for several years. I also worked at Camp Bow Wow. Ive taken care of lots of fur babies. I have a cat and a dog. I'm currently working part time as a receptionist. I work Monday-Thursday from 12PM-5PM. It leaves me with plenty of time to house sit and spend time caring for animals. I am respectful of other peoples spaces. I am loving towards all animals. When I am pet sitting I give the animals lots of attention. When i am house sitting I make sure to leave the space tidy. I am able to watch dogs overnight in my home. Again I have a dog who loves to play with other dogs. I kennel him when I leave the house for short periods of time. There are two dog parks in my area. We usually go on walks and hit up the dog park. I would bring your dog along with permission. I have open availability for pet sitting. I can pet sit at your house or mine. I am available for walks and drop ins too. My pets have breakfast in the morning and dinner in the evening. We go on a walk in the morning and then when I get off of work. We go to the dog park a lot. I make sure to keep the dogs on leashes whenever we leave the residence. <3

About: I am a pet person! I’ve had dogs since I was a child and have cared for my own dogs and cats throughout my adult life. Animals have always been part of my family, and I truly love caring for fur babies of all ages and personalities. I treat every pet like my own, with patience, affection, attention, cuddles, and lots of love. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m known in my community for taking care of friends’ pets when they’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, supervision, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood and love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. My home is very pet-friendly, I have a large, fenced in backyard, and I genuinely enjoy having animals as part of my daily life. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets are treated like family. I have a secure fenced-in backyard with plenty of green space for dogs to safely play, explore, and get exercise. Pets will receive lots of attention, supervision, affection, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m happy to follow each pet owner’s routines, feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special preferences to help pets feel comfortable and secure. If needed, I can also crate pets according to the owner’s instructions and comfort level.

About: I have had many animals over the years and still have many. I love dogs and cats, but all animals are worthy of great care. I have volunteered at the humane society and dealt with all types of needs for pets. I have had puppies in my house and have a knack for training. I am currently not working and would love to help people care for their pets. I have been driving for uber but am not able to anymore. I am available to work around your schedule and do what is needed for you and your pets In my home there are 4 dogs and 4.5 cats. .5 because my daughter adopted an outdoor stray that now sleeps in her room and has become part of our family. We also have fish and a gecko now, but in the past we have had almost every domestic pet you can think of. 😃

“Caroline was a great help with our 2 dogs. Came on short notice. Friendly and easy to work with. Would highly recommend! Would use again if in area”

“Jourdan was wonderful at getting Whopper used to her. She updated progress and sent photos every visit. Whopper is definitely better off with Jourdan than boarding him at a veterinary office. I’m hoping this also helps him socialize with strangers.”

Lisa M.

“I can’t thank Adel enough for taking care of Duke. The pictures of Duke during each visit gave me piece of mind so we could enjoy our trip. I highly recommend Adel and Julia!!!”

Paul D.

“Whitney was great and helped me out in a pinch when I was out of town longer than I expected to be. Great service and wonderful with my Labs! Thanks so much Whitney! ♥️”

About: I’ve had a deep love and passion for animals since I was a child. I’m known to take in strays and help them either find their home or get them to a shelter so they can be taken care of . I’m very patient with every kind of animal , puppies and juveniles are my favorite seeing as though they have the most energy .

I have a fenced in yard and if need be I’m open to watching them from your home. All animals are free roam unless you want them crated .

About: Back in 2014, I attended Tennessee College of Applied Technology, graduated early with my diploma in Assistance Animal Laboratory Technicians, also with a certification in Purina Mills Animal Care Course. I have done an internship with North Shelby Animal Shelter as well as Bartlett Animal Shelte, where I took stray dogs/ abandoned out for walks and to play. Most of the dogs I encountered with at the shelter were sweet and loving dogs that just need a friend and time to spend with a person. I treated those dogs as my own. I have also intern at University of Tennessee Health and Science Center taking care of rodents, pigs, and other animals. I am someone who is mature, candid and who has integrity. Everyday I work to improve myself and my skills which is part of maturing and becoming better at what I do, this is why I want clients to choose me. I will treat your pets as my own pets. I will love and care for them, as if they where my own.

About: I have always been around animals and enjoy their company big and small. I am very empathetic and patient toward animals. I will always treat your pet as my own with care and love. I currently work during the weekdays but do start later in the day. I do remote work which allows me the flexibility throughout the week, but I am completely open during the weekend. I live in a home that has a lot of room and space for our little friends to roam. There comfort is my first priority.

About: I love dogs so I will play with them, feed them, take them on runs and treat them as if they were my baby. Dogs and kids flock to me because of my happy vibe and positivity I give off. I will take them to dog parks and on doggy dates to play with other dogs. If they are dirty I will give them a bath. If they make a mess I will clean it up. During their walks or runs I will clean up their mess the correct way. Also I will make sure that they feel loved and happy. What you the owners will get is a respectable, honest, and bright young man who loves dogs to the utmost and also taking care of them. I am currently working for myself so therefore I have the time and schedule to add your pets into my daily routine whether that’s going on walks or playing. Anything that you need for your pet I’ll do my best to accommodate to allow you as well as your pets to feel safe and comfortable

About: We are a married couple in our 40s interested in house/pet-sitting together. We have pet-sat for a few NC and TN families for the past several years, and both of us had pet-sat before we met as well. Zachary works from home and so will be around the house much of the day if dogs need a mid-day walk or meal. Denny wakes up early and can feed and walk dogs in the early morning. Between us, we have experience with cats, dogs, fish, birds, rodents, rabbits, livestock, reptiles, and amphibians. We are willing to work with other animals as well. We prefer to sleep at the pet-owner's home when needed, as this means that we’re around and available for the pets at various times throughout the day. Denny also does drop-in care and dog-walking. Zachary has experience training dogs and volunteering with cats as well. Looking forward to meeting you! Zachary has a flexible work schedule and works from home. Denny is available to care for pets in the mornings, sometimes late afternoons, evenings, and weekends. We both enjoy walking and hiking and would love to take your dogs for walks. We don’t bring pets into our home but prefer overnight care in the pets’ home and are also open to drop-in care and walks. We are both very gentle with dogs and cats and enjoy lots of cuddles with pets, and we also make sure to take them for walks if desired.
