Pet Sitting Norwood South

About: Hi! I’m Shalesa, a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I grew up around dogs and currently have two fur babies of my own, Laila and Deuce, who are a huge part of my family. I previously worked as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic, where I gained valuable knowledge about pet care, health, and safety. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have regularly pet sat for family members and friends over the years, giving me experience with puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, and dogs with different temperaments and needs. I understand that every dog is unique, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while you’re away. Whether your pup loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to treating them like one of my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I currently work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. However, I have the flexibility to come home during my lunch break for potty breaks, walks, feeding, and check-ins if needed. Outside of work hours, I am available for morning, evening, and weekend care. I strive to keep pets on their normal routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, love, and care while their owners are away. 🐾💕 I live in a pet friendly apartment with 2 friendly furr babies, I have a lot of space. We frequently go to the dog park to get exercise and take long walks. 🐾💕

“Laura is a fabulous pet sitter. I highly recommend Laura. She is a true animal lover. I was completely happy with Laura’s services. My cats seems drawn to her immediately at the meet and greet. I came home to calm and comfortable cats.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years. From afternoon visits to month-long stays, I’ve done it all. I also have experience caring for elderly and sick animals, including my own when she was diagnosed with cancer. I’m patient and kind towards all animals. I adopted two cats in Sept. of 2024 and adore them so much! I work part time at an ice cream shop in Jackson. I have free time in the mornings and most evenings due to the later shop hours. I’m open to any house sits and will stay with your pet! First off, I remain calm and easy when meeting an animal. If I’m able, I like to leave a belonging of mine so they can get used to my scent! I’m a very laidback person so lounging around the house and going out for a walk with your dog is perfect. I love giving pets and cuddling on the couch.

“She was wonderful. Our cats are unfortunately bad and broke glass and she very kindly cleaned it up and took out the trash for us. She has been super responsive throughout and we couldn’t ask for much more. One hundred percent recommend.”

“Alex took good care of our cat Tucker and faithfully came daily over several weeks to feed and love on him. She was responsive to requests and helpful in reporting any developments with Tucker or around the house.”

Erin Stewart S.

“Mary was awesome! She took great care of my cat, Sunny, and kept me updated everyday. The communication was great and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I felt very comfortable with having her come over and watch my fur baby. I’m so glad I booked with her.”

“Lauren exceeded my expectations with out dogs. She initiated a meet and greet before we left for our trip with our dogs which helped put my mind at ease leaving the dogs in her care. After our first interaction I felt confident she was more than capable of managing our 4 dogs at once. While we were on the trip she was always prompt and reliable. Her photo updates were pure gold. She could add a side hustle of being a pet photographer if she wanted! Overall I was really pleased and will use her again!”

About: I've had furry companions (dogs, cats, guinea pigs) since I was a child. I went from only taking care of them at home, to working at a no-kill shelter, to now working as a petsitter/dogwalker while I moonlight at a pet food store— so my care also comes with little goodies like treats and toys!🤗 My day current job has very little hours, allowing me the flexibility to work my schedule to fit all pet parents that would need me I am comfortable with crating and handling dogs of various sizes and temperaments. I also have experience with managing the time it takes to clean an area and be attentive to a pup or kitten.

“Thomas did a wonderful job watching my spunky cat Remy while I was out of the country on vacation. He made sure to hang out with him for a bit each day and give him some much-needed attention, sent photos and updates daily, and even made sure my plants were watered. Can't wait to book him again.”

About: Hi there! My name is Olivia and I have been a dog sitter for 10+ years, but an animal lover for my entire life. I would love the opportunity to care for your baby like they are my own while you are away. I have an 11 year old Yorkie named Bella who stills plays all day with the energy of a puppy. I am only able to host small dogs within my home and my baby would love to have a friend her size running around here. However, I am happy to care for any type/size dog within your home and for walks. I am currently working only two days a week so I have plenty of availability to care for your babies like they are my own! I have a fenced in yard with lots of area for your pup to run around! I also have a stroller available for any small/medium dog that is unable to do a full walk so they can still be included in the experience!

About: 8 years of professional petsitting experience on top of multiple years of pet ownership; includes housesitting, house maintenance, and care of non-traditional pets such as rodents and reptiles. I’m currently working part-time, so my schedule is flexible and wide open for plenty of time to love on your furry friends. I receive my schedule weeks in advance and am able to prioritize my clients effectively and ensure the highest quality of care. Due to my apartment complex not allowing pets, I care for pets at clients’ homes, whether that’s through pop-in visits to the home or housesitting for the amount of time needed. This ensures that your pets are in an environment that they are comfortable in. I communicate with clients before and throughout the visit to ensure they are kept in the loop while I care for their pets, including photos, and I never hesitate to ask questions if I have any.
