Kateryna was great! She came early a few times and took good care of my three dogs while I was gone. She kept me updated and sent pics, which I really appreciated.

She was absolutely great and helped me out on relatively short notice when my normal sitter couldn’t make it. She sent lots of pictures and videos so I knew my boy was doing well! Highly recommend

Kelly is the absolute best! Extremely responsible and an excellent communicator. She has a natural ability to connect to animals and is quite patient. Our cats adore her, even the super shy one. So happy we found her!

About: I’ve taken care of large breed dogs for the last 10 years, I love to get out and play or relax inside. I’ve worked with dogs on off leash training I’m currently working full time but home during the day. My schedule has me off Fridays and Saturdays. I work very close to home and come home for lunch for an hour during the night I have a very large backyard surrounded by woods and the house is set back from the road. I can easily crate your dog if needed

About: I have over 4 years of experience working in veterinary medicine, including emergency care, which has given me strong knowledge in recognizing medical concerns, handling high stress situations, and safely administering medications. I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs, including seniors and those requiring daily medications. In addition to my clinical experience, I’ve trained my own working line dog from 8 weeks old to adulthood, giving me hands on experience with puppy training, structure, and behavior management. I also currently have a young puppy, so I understand the patience and consistency needed for early training stages. This diverse background has made me confident handling animals of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. What sets me apart is my ability to combine professional veterinary knowledge with real world training experience, allowing me to provide safe, attentive, and reliable care for every pet. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I’m a full-time online student, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m able to be home throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins, and I can easily adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs. Whether a pet requires frequent potty breaks, structured routines, or just extra attention, I’m able to provide consistent and reliable care. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping pets on their normal schedule to reduce stress, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also make sure to keep their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a structured but relaxed environment with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and exercise. I’m attentive to behavior, safety, and comfort at all times, and I adjust care depending on age, energy level, and any special needs. With my background in veterinary medicine, I’m also able to monitor for any changes in behavior or health and respond appropriately if concerns arise.

reached out to Addysin at the last minute for drop-in visits for my dog, Arena, and I’m so grateful she was available. She was easy to communicate with and took great care of my pup! I will definitely reach out to her again in the future. Arena and I are very happy with Addysin! 😊

About: A little background: I have been a pet owner since I was a child. I grew up on a small farm complete with horses, chickens, rabbits, goats, cats and of course dogs. I'm the current owner of a German shepherd, 2 Pomeranians, 2 cats, 5 horses, multiple chickens, and rabbits. I have years of animal handling experience through volunteering at the Central Florida Zoo and Audubon Center for Birds of Prey. I've also owned many exotic pets like turtles, fish and birds. My passion for animals has caused me to pursue a degree in environmental sciences and biology from the University of Central Florida. I love all animals and believe they should be taken care of to best of our abilities. I have many long time customer references available upon request. I live on a growing homestead that requires me to check in daily on my animals and pets. As long as I can check in on my farm we should be able to continue your normal pet care routine. In situations of conflicting schedules, I have an assistant available to help care for the dogs during the day. We can discuss our schedules and figure out what works best for everyone's needs. What you can expect from me: While your dog(s) is in my care I will provide them with the love and attention they deserve and will strive to keep them as close to their normal schedule as possible. I will prepare their food in whatever manner they are used to including any special instructions, dietary supplements, heating or mixing they may require. As the pet-mom of a Pomeranian with liver issues, I understand how important a consistent diet is for our pets and I promise to continue your dog's usual regimen. I will take your dog on potty breaks/walks as often as you request as I strive to keep to your dogs normal routine. I will send texts/pictures/emails/updates of your pets on request. I will respect your household and will leave everything as you left it. I will check mail, water plants, and care for other kinds of pets (cats, fish, exotics, small pets) at your request. I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s) and for the opportunity to provide care for them while you're away.

About: I work as a Kennel Technician taking care and loving the dogs who have been pulled from kill shelters to rehabilitate them, so we are able to relocate them and find them good homes.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I could walk. My family has always had a household of cats and dogs. When I was a babysitter I would also watch any animals needed of me. I have a golden doodle of my own named Ember, who has taught me patience and kindness. I also have a mixed puppy who loves the company of another. I currently work Mondays and Fridays. All other days are free, if you need me a weekend it needs to be 5 days in advance. I do not have a fenced In yard. I have two pet friendly dogs who I can put in a crate if needed. Anything your pet needs will be fulfilled with love and kindness

About: Something that sets me apart from other sitters is that I truly bond with animals and go out of my way to make sure they are comfortable. Not too long ago a hawk hit my car and I pulled over to pick it up and brought it to the NC Raptor Center; they were able to save it and released it a couple weeks later. I have two Mainecoon cats myself that I consider part of the family. I've taught the older one how to play fetch with bottle caps and socks and both cats also come when I call their name! I've walked dogs and house sit cats and dogs for neighbors, friends and family for years. I welcome all dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. For my personal animals, I work 8 hours but take care of my animals at all times besides that! Morning/nightly feeds, constant potty breaks. For clients, I'm available Friday-Sunday all day. The rest of the week 4PM or later but can do morning/nights if needed for extended stays. Because I have so many animals myself, I only do walking/sitting in clients homes/neighborhoods. I don't like to disrupt my animals environment. The same goes for clients animals. I treat them with the same love, respect and attention just like I do with my own. I really am good with watching behavior changes and figuring out a solution! The animals comfort is top priority!

About: I've been around and cared for pets for over 15 years so I have lots of experience. I’m very playful and nurturing so they will have plenty of love and attention even when away from you. I work in fundraising in elementary and middle schools, so I am on a teacher’s schedule. However, that means I have full availability during the summer to take care of as many fur babies as needed! I have a large back yard so they have room to run. I also have a little dog who loves company so your baby won’t ever feel alone.
