Cat Sitting Locust Grove

“This was my first time since moving and having my cat alone so I was nervous to hire someone to check in on her. Tai was communicative, caring, friendly and sweet! She closely followed the instructions I left. I am so grateful for the last minute drop-in visit. I will definitely reach out again and would recommend her for anyone’s pet!”

“Jewel was perfectly on time and communicative with any questions or concerns. She did an amazing job with a very challenging anxious dog. Thank you!!”

About: I’ve had cats all of my life, and have dog-sat for friends, neighbors, and coworkers since becoming an adult. My own little orange kitty has many medical adventures—so I’m also very used to administering medicine to cats. I have flexibility in my work hours and can work around routine meetings - allowing for flexibility when caring for our loved ones! I know some furballs need more together time than others so also have a job where I can work virtually too! I love working under instruction—every pet is different and needs different attention and affection! I love to give cuddles and have playtime, and am very detail-oriented when taking care of pets.

“Rachel did a wonderful job caring for Connery. I came home to a happy and healthy cat.”

About: I’ve cared for cats my entire life and have experience with a wide range of personalities, from social and affectionate to shy or recently rescued. I’ve provided pet sitting for family and friends, including both cats and dogs. I also have hands on experience helping stray and rescue cats adjust to indoor environments. In addition, I’m comfortable handling small animals and have experience owning and caring for ferrets. I prioritize patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s individual needs to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care. I currently just graduated high school at York County School of Technology while enrolled in the Licensed Cosmetology program! I obtained my cosmetology license in December of 2025. I’m currently waiting to begin my journey in the esthetics side of the cosmetology industry! I have a very flexible schedule on the weekends, as well as mid afternoon and nights. I personally prioritize creating a safe, calm, and stress free environment for every pet in my care. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any specific needs so I can keep their environment consistent and comfortable. I’m attentive to details such as securing doors, safe feeding practices, and monitoring behavior for any signs of stress or illness. I’m also respectful of client homes and follow all instructions carefully to ensure both pets and property are well cared for. For more anxious or shy animals, I focus on patience and gentleness to build trust at their pace. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you feel confident and informed while you’re away.

About: Having grown up around dogs and cats, I'm comfortable with different personalities and energy levels, whether your pet loves to play or prefers a calmer environment. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible while you're away. I work part time during the week, so I have a lot of time to care for pets, do check in’s, feed, and give extra cuddles!

About: I’m a dedicated animal lover and experienced caregiver with a lifelong background in working with pets. As a homeowner and mom to a toddler, a German Shepherd mix, and two cats, I understand the importance of respect, safety, and attentive care in a home environment. I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, including large and high-energy breeds like Great Pyrenees and Malamutes. I also have hands-on experience working at multiple doggy daycares, where I learned how to handle dogs of all temperaments, sizes, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with walking, playtime, basic training, and administering medications. At home, I care for a senior epileptic cat and a dog who both require daily medication, so I’m very familiar with keeping consistent routines and providing care for pets with special needs. I’ve also trained my own dogs over the years and continue to reinforce structure and good behavior. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for amphibians, reptiles, and previously had chickens, so I’m comfortable with a variety of animals and their different care needs. I’m currently pursuing a degree in biology, which helps me better understand animal health and behavior. Above all, I truly love animals and prioritize their happiness, safety, and comfort in everything I do. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially in the afternoons and evenings. I am currently available starting at 8am on weekdays, as well as weekends, which allows me to provide consistent and attentive care during those day. I am a mom to a toddler, so communication is important to discuss flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and extended care. I prioritize reliability and routine, ensuring all visits, walks, and medication schedules are followed closely. At this time, I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes to ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize consistency, safety, and attention to detail. I follow all feeding, walking, playtime, and medication schedules closely, and I take time to understand each pet’s individual personality and needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or requires special care, I adjust my approach to make them feel secure and stress-free. I also treat every home with the same respect and care as my own, keeping things clean, secure, and well-maintained while you’re away. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to make your time away as easy as possible for both you and your pet by providing reliable, compassionate, and attentive in-home care.

“Wonderful as always! Our dogs love her!”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of all ages and sizes since I was young and none have given me any trouble. I don’t mind picking up messes that any dog might make. I absolutely love playing with them and taking them on walks. I doordash as my job so my availability is 100% open to any kind of needs your dog has. I pick what hours I work with door dash but normally I’ll door dash throughout the day then come home for the day around 5. Although when watching any animal I tend to switch up my hours so I can make sure your pup is getting all the love and attention it needs. I like to keep a clean house so no dog has a chance to get into anything that could harm them or chew on anything not wanted.

About: Hi! I’m Maggie, a lifelong animal lover and dog mom to two sweet pups. I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years, starting back in high school when I became the neighborhood go-to sitter. Since then, I’ve looked after dogs of all sizes and personalities, plus a handful of cats and other small pets along the way. I treat my own dogs the way most people treat their kids; with patience, structure, fun, and tons of love. And I bring that exact same energy to every pet I care for. Your pet’s comfort and routine come first, and I always take time to learn what makes them feel safe, happy, and understood. As someone who often looks for sitters for my own dogs, I truly understand how important it is to find the right person; someone you trust, someone who communicates, and someone who treats your pets like family. My boyfriend and I take that responsibility seriously. While I’m the one offering pet-sitting services, he’s at home with our own doggos, making sure they’re happy, safe, and sticking to their routine. Because we know firsthand what good care looks like, we make it a priority to provide that same level of comfort, attention, and reliability to every pet we look after. Your pets deserve someone who “gets it,” and that’s exactly the kind of care we strive to provide. I currently work as a case manager, which means my weekly schedule is flexible and varies day-to-day. I have appointments at different times throughout the week, but I’m able to come and go as needed. With a little notice, I can schedule my work appointments around your availability and your pet’s routine. I’m used to balancing a dynamic schedule, so making sure your pet gets the consistent care, walks, and attention they need is always a priority. As a dog mom to two high-energy, love-filled pups, I know how important structure, attention, and affection are. At home, our days include frequent walks, plenty of yard time to burn off energy, and a consistent meal and treat routine. We use clear, consistent verbiage for commands and always reward good behavior; lots of praise, treats, and even more snuggles. I love keeping dogs mentally and physically stimulated, so car rides, errands, and controlled socialization are a regular part of our routine. I bring that same approach to caring for pets in a client’s home. I follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine intact, and make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away. Whether they need exercise, structure, gentle reassurance, or just someone to hang out with, I meet each pet where they are and give them the same level of care I give my own.

About: I have had cats and a dog that I made sure were well taken care of. I love taking care of animals whether mine or other people's. I work in the mornings until 12pm and have off in the afternoon, so I will have time in the afternoon and evenings to take care of other people's animals I have several leashes to use to walk dogs and I have gates and crates that I can block of certain areas of the house to make sure they are safe.

About: I have cared for pets of all shapes and sizes (horses, goats, dogs, cats, chickens, lizards, farrets, ect.) of the animals I cared for there have been several with dietary needs and physical disabilities. I am excited to get to know your pets needs and be a friendly face while they are missing their favorite person. I work 7:30am-3:30pm Monday-Friday. Outside of those hours I am happy to do what I can to support you and your pet. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions. Having 3 cats, I know they do not love having new people over. That being I am open to dog walking, drop in visits and house sitting as needed!

About: Hello my name is Thayer and I my whole life is about dogs! I currently own two puppies, Sippy is a mixed breed husky, the baby of the bunch is Cheech and she is a mixed lab. I have an associates in Veterinary Science, I am working on my bachelors in Criminal Justice, before going to to obtain my Masters in Veterinary Forensics. All of these are to help me in my future career as a humane officer. Humane Officers’ primary purpose is to investigate allegations of animal abuse and ensure pets are well cared for and protected. I want to spend my life helping dogs feel safe and well cared for even when their owners are away. I have worked at various dog boarding/daycare facilities in the area, alongside multiple dog/cat rescues, and had the amazing opportunity to work for the ASPCA at their headquarters’ clinic. Through these experiences I have taken care of all types of dogs and cats. Some medical issues I’ve dealt with were seizures, diabetes, blindness, deafness, blind/deaf, heat sensitivity, the elderly pups, couple hour old puppies, and the mamas to the pups. I also have lots of experience with dogs with other behaviors such as, fear aggression, reactivity, dog aggression, people (stranger) aggression, men aggression, handling issues, and much more. No dog is ever too difficult to handle and you should be able to go on that vacation not feeling stressed about your pup. I want to help your pup feel right at home when you’re gone or help them get their energy out on a walk. Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies!!! I am currently going to school full time and working on the weekends. I am off Sundays and am home everyday no later than 2pm. I am trying to save money for college. Dog Boarding: 1 mile walk daily, daily fetch and/or tug game, daily bedtime kong, stays longer than 4 days get a free bath and nail clipping/Dremmel, if dog allows. If asked I also offer training aka reviewing already learned commands, dog enrichment games (such as snuffle matts), and daily brushouts. House Sitting: 2-3 daily walks, daily fetch and/or tug game, scooping yard after each potty, cleaning your dog bowls inbetween meals, and stays longer than 4 days get a free nail clipping/Dremmel, if dog allows. If asked I also offer training aka reviewing already learned commands, dog enrichment games (such as snuffle matts), and daily brushouts. Doggy Daycare: I like to start each day with a mile walk all together. Then one on one playtime with my pup(s), if wanted. If you want your pup to have doggy playtime, they will have “cool down” times throughout the day. If a repeat client I offer a free bath every 3rd completed daycare day and free nail clipping/dremmel once a month (as needed), if dog allows. Dog Walking: I provide treats and will reward the dog with a treat when not pulling, so we can walk more safely and efficiently. If I notice the dog’s leash is connected to a collar or harness that is too loose, I may ask if I may tighten it. I do not feel comfortable walking dogs with items that they can easily slip, and may decline an offer, if one is not willing to tighten it. I want all the dogs I walk to be completely safe and not be able to slip out and run. Rates do not go up if dog pulls, is reactive, or dog/ stranger aggressive.

About: I am a mature and reliable pet sitter with a preference for cats but will also be happy to provide care for small dogs or other animals. I operate with a genuine love for all all animals and have a history of community service and donations to animal shelters and causes. I have been a cat owner for over 12 years and currently have one senior cat. When it comes to cat care, my extensive experience and commitment to feline companionship shine through. I specialize in socializing skittish cats, exercising larger cats, and soothing senior cats. I am detail-oriented, ensuring that your pets get the care and attention they are accustomed to, including medication management, grooming, and in-home care. I am proactive in communication and am also highly responsive, giving pet-owners piece of mind. But that's not all – my versatility extends to caring for dogs as well. I bring the same level of dedication and expertise to canine companions, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or adherence to dietary requirements, I'm well-equipped to provide comprehensive care for dogs of smaller sizes. With me as your trusted pet sitter, you can confidently leave both your cats and dogs in capable hands. Your pets' happiness, safety, and well-being are my top priorities, and I take pride in delivering exceptional care tailored to their individual needs, whether they're four-legged felines or canine companions. My schedule is flexible and can accommodate most requests with enough notice. While I can provide care for your pet in your own home, I am also available to host your pet in my home. I have a one-level home with hard wood floors (for easy cleanup) and pet-proof furniture. I do not let animals outside unattended so if you have a cat that likes to wander outside, I will not be comfortable allowing that
