“So so wonderful to find Tricia and not have to worry about Shelby so we could enjoy a few days away! She was attentive, prompt, responsive, and the whole package. We will be using her again!”

About: My daughter and I grew up helping take care of dogs and have been around them for as long as we can remember. We’ve looked after our own dogs as well as those of friends and family. There has never been a year in our lives without a dog in it, and we truly can’t imagine life without one! I currently work full time as a 2nd grade teacher, but I’m available for boarding, doggie day care, walking, dropping in, or playing with your dog during the week and on the weekends. My 17 year old daughter will be assisting as she absolutely loves dogs too. Our house is in a neighborhood. We currently have one dog who is a morkipoo and is very playful and loves other dogs. We are able to crate your dog if needed.
About: Hi! My name is Makaela Hawkins! I have always loved and owned pets and never seen myself not having a dog in my life. I absolutely love taking care of animals and getting some good exercise in with them! I treat all pups as if they were my own! I have years of experience with dogs and also worked at a pet nutrition center that sold high quality dog and cat food for a while! So if you have questions about pet nutrition, please don’t hesitate to ask me! I’m looking to fill my time with some pups and help some pet parents out as well! My schedule is pretty flexible and allows me to fit in lots of time for fur babies! I treat pets like my own, always giving them love and making sure that they’re taken care of. I love creating a comfortable space for both myself and my new friend. Transparency in terms of aggression, health history, and interactions with other pets and children are very important to me.
About: I can't pass a pup in public without getting in a quick pet. If I'm meeting you for the first time I may or may not remember your name, but I'll remember every detail (including name) of your pup. I'm 50 years old, but when I'm in the presence of a furry friend, I start baby talking like a 2-year-old. Bottom line, I love dogs. I am Mama to 4 rescue pups and a rescue kitty. I've proudly fostered 9 rescues over the years and although it's a challenging job, it's extremely rewarding seeing them happy and healthy in their forever homes and knowing that I had a small part to play in that. I'm a stay-at-home Mom of two teenagers who don't need me nearly as much as they used too. That newly acquired free time enables me to accomodate almost any number of drop in visits per day to spend quality time with your fur baby! My pups are used to a specific routine and thrive when they are comfortable and know what to expect. With that being said, I'm happy to follow any care instructions that you request. From administering medication to going on fun-filled walks, your request is my command!
About: If you need caring, compassionate, reliable, loving service for your furry sweethearts I am available to make them the center of attention. With me they get a bit of a holiday themselves. My work takes me oceanside for extended periods: so when I’m available to house/pet sit for you, I am devoted to all their needs. Presently I am auntie to several cats and dogs that for more than a decade I have been house/pet sitting. I have also cared for horses, goats, chickens, geese and peacocks. I love learning animal’s individual personalities and ingratiating myself in to their familial pack. In my life I have owned a German Shepherd, a Malinois and a Husky as well as numerous cats. I grew up walking the dog, so I prefer to exercise the canines regularly. Playtime for everyone will include some brushing. I have no problems giving oral medications or injections. And I have cared for sick animals of my own as well as others. My entry in to your home will be with complete respect, integrity and detailed consideration. My references will tell you how I am attentive not only to your pets but your home: be it garden or plant care, and most especially having your home be as if you had never left upon your return.
“Kyleigh is the best. She is flexible- our family appreciates because our schedules are crazy but she’s willing to make it work where she can. I trust her completely in my home and with my dog and cat. She is someone you can trust, count on, and will be exceptionally kind and loving with your pets. I would t hesitate to recommend Kyleigh.”

About: Hello my name is Erin, I have grown up with a dog my whole life. Starting around 4 years old my family has fostered dogs getting them ready for their future family’s. I have experienced with training and disciplining all kinds of dogs. I also have experience with house sitting while families are on vacation and completing jobs like feedings, medicine, playing, walking and giving baths. I work a part time job about 2-3 times a week. I am very flexible with hours from morning to evening. I am an easy going person so just let me know what works best for you and I will accommodate. I make sure your pets schedule stays the same as close as I can while allowing for many cuddles and lots of play. I can also help care for other things around your home like plants and daily chores.
About: Let me begin by saying I love animals. My family and I have always had dogs and cats ever since I was a child. At the moment, I am only available to do drop-in visits. I have experience in house sitting and caring for multiple dogs at a time, as well as administering medication. As an owner of a 8 year old German Shepherd named Oliver, and his younger siblings that are 5 year old German Shepherd/Husky mixes named Mango and Wylie, I completely understand the hesitancy in trusting a stranger to care for your fur babies. I love every dog like they are my own. I also have experience in taking care of cats and cats that are elderly. I had the opportunity to take ownership of a 20 year old cat, and I got to love and care for her for the last two years of her life. I am currently in between jobs and working towards a certification online. Which means, my availability to care for your pet is very flexible and will be able to give your pet the attention they need. For potential clients: I will be out of town from August 15th 2025- August 24th 2025. I will not be able to respond to any requests during that time. But will respond promptly after said dates. I care for your pets with the utmost love, care and flexibility. If there are routines/rules in place, I will abide by them strictly, as I understand that sometimes diverting from those routines can be traumatic for your dog. Routines includes meal times, treats, walks, being let out to use the bathroom and playtime. If you are looking for photo updates as well, I’m more than happy to send those over.
About: I have experience with many different breeds, sizes, and ages. I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life. My family had a dog when I was growing up that I helped care for and I’ve loved taking care of pets ever since. I will treat your dog like they’re my own- with so much love, lots of playtime and belly rubs, walks, and snuggles if they like. My schedule is extremely flexible during the week/weekends so I will have time throughout the day to spend with and care for your pet. Your dog is welcome to come stay at my house if we think it’s a good fit. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I do have a spacious yard that your dog can explore and run around. We live right outside of a nice walking neighborhood so if your pet likes to walk, walk we will! I have two friendly pups who love to play that will also be able to keep your pet company. I can crate your dog if that’s part of their routine.
About: I volunteered at Forsyth Humane Society for 3 1/2 years. I also fostered for multiple shelters. I have worked with many different breeds, big and small. I currently have 2 large boys, 3 medium sized girls and 1 small girl, of my own. I am a certified dog trainer. I have experience working with dogs with special needs (physical), behavioral issues and other specific situations that require special attention or instruction, making me a trustworthy care taker for dogs who require special accommodations (dogs needing to be kept separate, leash pullers, feeding separately, dogs fearful/anxious of new people, dogs who simply need someone to take time to earn their trust or who need their normal routine followed.) I am not just your average sitter, safety is priority and I understand every household has different needs and requirements. I am comfortable and happy to work with dogs of any breed or size I own my own business, so I make my own schedule. I can be flexible. I currently have time in the mornings or late afternoon/evenings for drop in visits I have multiple crates for dogs in my house. I also have kennels outdoors for my dogs to play during the day, which are covered. I will be sure to follow any instructions you may have for your pet. I will ensure to establish a connection with your pets so that they become familiar with me and comfortable and take the time to learn things they do and do not like or activities that they may enjoy doing.

Dropping in on a clients home I will be very careful of my surroundings and kindly approach your pet with grace and patience.
About: I’ve been the family’s pet caregiver since very a very young age. I wanted to be a vet as a child but life took me a different way. Now that I am changing careers/paths, I’ve decided this a great time to spend more time caring for pets. I love dogs, cats, horses, wild life…I recently made a life change to have more time to enjoy the things I love, and taking care of furr babies is one of those things. I love walking and playing so high energy dogs will be happy campers. I’m also an avid hobbyist photographer with a professional camera and I love photographing pets, so I can always do that for you as well on my visits! I’m comfortable with cats, dogs of all sizes, so long as they’re not aggressive. Im currently free and enjoying life, so I’m hoping to do a lot of pet sitting/walking/playing. I’m available several hours each week to take care of your pet. I have two dogs (130 lbs boy and 55lbs girl) and two cats, so I feel I’m well versed in taking care of multiple pets if that’s what your need. If you only have one, I’m also perfectly comfortable with that and he/she will be showered with love, care and play time.
