Animals have always been part of my everyday life. Caring for them is second nature to me—it’s something I look forward to. I plan my days around feeding, walking, and playtime, making sure each pet gets plenty of attention and affection. I’m currently taking a break from full-time teaching, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet my full attention and stick closely to their routine.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, my first priority is always safety and comfort. I take time to get to know each animal’s personality, routine, and any special needs before our time together. Whether I’m in your home or out for a walk, I follow your instructions carefully and pay attention to every detail—from feeding schedules to leash preferences. In your home, I make sure pets feel relaxed and secure by keeping their familiar environment and routines intact. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and treat your home with the same care I give to your pets. If I’m hosting or doing drop-ins, I ensure a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space where they can feel at ease. You can always count on me for regular updates, photos, and honest communication—I want you to feel completely at peace knowing your furry family member is in good hands.

Information Georgia K. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I like to learn as much as possible about their personality, routines, and preferences. Every pet is different, and those little details help me give them the best care possible. Please let me know: • Any medical conditions, allergies, or medications • Feeding times, portion sizes, and favorite treats • Walking routines and leash habits • Triggers, fears, or behaviors to be mindful of (like other dogs, loud noises, etc.) • Favorite toys, games, or comfort items • How they like to be approached or soothed The more I know, the more I can make your pet feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical day with your pet starts with a cheerful greeting, a little playtime, and some fresh air. If I’m caring for a dog, we’ll go for a walk—sometimes a leisurely stroll to sniff around, sometimes a more energetic outing depending on their age and energy level. For cats, it might mean interactive play with toys, brushing, or just quiet companionship if that’s what they prefer. Throughout the day, I make sure pets have a balance of exercise, affection, and rest. I love incorporating their favorite activities—whether that’s chasing a ball, exploring new scents, or simply curling up for cuddles. I also keep a close eye on hydration, feeding schedules, and comfort levels. Each pet is unique, and I adjust our day to fit their personality. My goal is to make sure they feel loved, relaxed, and cared for until you return.

Georgia has owned several animals over the past few years. She is especially fond of her cats and has a great compassion for animals. Should would be able to care for animals as she would her own.

Georgia was a pet sitter for our 2 cats recently and did a fabulous job! She is very responsible and caring and loves all animals. She was prompt and went out of her way to make our kitties feel safe and loved! She sent frequent updates and short video clips to let us know they they were just fine. In closing, we highly recommend her!
