Cat Sitting in Oakboro

About: I’ve loved animals ever since I was little. I’ve worked for two dog kennels that have provided me with efficient responsibility for the fur babies of other individuals. I have a dog of my own whom I consider to be my best friend. Any time with a furry friend makes me happy. I have part time availability for the summer. I work a full time job during the year as an educator that has a set weekly schedule. I live in a home with my pets therefore I cannot provide day care. I can offer sitting and drop-in services. I can provide walks locally near your home or at a nearby park. I have plenty of references that will help you feel comfortable with my experience as an animal lover.

“Cameron was great from his first response through his visit. Two minutes into his meet and greet I knew he was the one Alfie and Mitzie would love. Arrived right on time for both the meet and greet and his appointment, sent pictures, and left a note when he left. Now I can look for other places to go knowing my pups will be well cared for!”

“Jess was amazing with my cat! I could tell by the pictures she sent during her visits, that she liked my cat and my cat liked her (which doesn’t happen often)! Jess kept me informed with her reports and reached out with questions when unusual circumstances arose. I was totally comfortable during my trip, that my cat was well cared for. I will definitely ask Jess again in the future.”

About: I have been taking care of cats since I was 10. I have interacting with all types of cats. I also have worked with all types of dogs both puppies and older. I have experience in giving medicine, clipping nails, grooming and more for both cats and dogs. I’m also a gentle soul who believes each cat and dog should have a safe person to stay with while their owners are out of town. I enjoy the company of animals and care about them very much. I am home 24/7 at the moment and can take anyone at anytime. I will be able to keep a close eye on your furry baby at all times. I have a deck outside for dogs to enjoy the fresh air as well as a park that is 7 mins away that I would to bring them to to get some exercise. As well as I would be taking them outside on leash and making sure they go to the bathroom. I have an extra room where I can separate cats and dogs from my own 2 cats and 2 dogs. If your furry friend loves new friends then they’ll be happy to meet some here as well.

“Thankful I found Courtney to take care of my dogs. I had a previous dog sitter cancel on me last minute and Courtney was able to save the day help me as soon as she could. Very nice, reliable and trustworthy. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.”

About: I started pet and house sitting in 2015 and have loved caring for furry, feathered, and even scale-y friends ever since. As a farm kid through and through, I'm comfortable with animals of all shapes and sizes and have experience caring for nearly every type of pet you can imagine. I don't shy away from big animals (or big messes!) I recently completed my graduate degree and became a nationally certified Physician Assistant. While my training is in human medicine, I have experience caring for pets with complex medical needs, including administering injections, medications, and subcutaneous fluids. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and attentive caring for your pets, especially when they require extra support. At home, I share my life with two cats, Winston and Franklin, one of whom is an FIP survivor. That experience has given me a firsthand appreciation for the trust pet owners place in their caregivers and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pets are in capable hands. If you're looking for a responsible, dependable professional to keep your pets happy, healthy, and loved while you're away, I'd be honored to help. Having recently completed graduate school, I currently have a very flexible schedule and can devote substantial time to caring for your pets. This allows me to provide attentive, personalized care and maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. While I am currently unable to board pets, I am happy to provide care in the environment where your pet is most comfortable- their own home! I strive to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of companionship. I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would my own, and I understand the trust involved in leaving both your pets and your home in someone else's hands. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, so you can travel with peace of mind.

“Is there a 12 star button because Ashley was absolutely amazing. She went well above and beyond what I ever expected. She was very attentive to details with Keebler and the house. I will be using her again.”

About: Hello! I'm currently a nursing student that has a love for all animals and if I wasn’t going to be a nurse I’d definitely be a Vet! I have 14 years of experience with caring for all sorts of dogs. I can do senior care and puppy care whatever you may need! I have flexible availability if I’m ever not available I prioritize clear communication over anything else. Just let me know what you need and I got you and your precious pet! I hope that your best friend can become mine as well! Currently I’m a full time nursing student, which makes working a regular 9-5 or hospital 12hr shifts quite difficult. I’m big on communication, I will always lay out my current hours as I’m in an accelerated course. I have a fenced in yard, and I live in a neighborhood that is super pet friendly where I can safely take your dog on walks.

“Rebecca was fantastic. Great communication from start to finish and even alerted us about ants getting into a new auto feeder for our cats and helped rectify the issue. Food and litter areas were left clean. Great job!!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for animals of all kinds—dogs, cats, and everything in between. With hands-on experience in feeding, grooming, training, and holistic wellness, I understand not just how to meet a pet’s needs, but how to truly connect with them. My approach is gentle, intuitive, and rooted in love. Whether it’s managing multiple pets or supporting animals with anxiety or medical needs, I’m dedicated to creating a calm, safe environment where every pet feels at home. I'm available for pretty much anything need. My schedule is very flexible. Throughout the day, I pay close attention to their moods, making time for play, brushing, or just sitting quietly with them when they need comfort. Their well-being is a priority in everything I do, and caring for them brings structure, peace, and purpose to my day. When I care for other people’s animals, I treat them like they’re my own—with patience, gentleness, and full attention. I take time to learn their routines, personalities, and needs, so they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, playing, or just sitting with a shy pet to help them feel calm, I make sure every moment is rooted in trust and love. I know how much animals mean to their families, and I do everything I can to give them peace of mind.

“Thank you so much for caring for my fur babies and even willing to step in during a short notice emergency that worked out. I could not ask for better walkers.”

About: I have been around animals my entire life and grew up caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, and even reptiles. Over the past five years, my family has had a full house of pets, including one dog, two cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and a chameleon, so I’m very comfortable with a variety of animals and their unique needs. In 2021, I completed training to have my golden retriever certified as a therapy dog. After becoming licensed, she worked alongside me in public schools, where she provided comfort and support to students. That experience strengthened my skills in handling, training, and understanding animals while ensuring they feel safe, calm, and well cared for. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to give animals plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins to make sure pets are comfortable and well cared for. Since I’m home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone and can enjoy a calm, consistent environment. Caring for animals is already part of my daily life with our own pets, so adding additional pet care feels like a natural extension of our routine. My home is very pet-friendly and used to having animals around. I have a family of five with three kids ages 11–16 who all love animals and are respectful of their personalities and space. Since I already have pets in our home, I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing regular feeding times, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on making them feel safe and comfortable, just like part of the family. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions the owner provides. My goal is always to make sure pets feel relaxed, well cared for, and loved while their owners are away.

“Lynne was an excellent sitter! My dogs were well taken care of. She sent pics of our happy critters everyday. We will definitely book again with Lynne when needed. We appreciate her being so good to our little ones.”
