“Did a fantastic job with our three kitties! Sent lots of photos and left great and cute reviews of how the nights went. 5/5 would recommend to anyone needing someone to check on their fur babies!”

“Allison did a great job taking care of my dog. My dog can be shy around new people, but she took to Allison right away. Allison followed all the instructions and was on time for all of the check in’s. I look forward to her watching my dog again soon!”

“Billi was great taking care of my 2 rather shy cats! She provided visit updates and photos, ensuring me that my fur babies were being very well taken care of and comfortable with her. Definitely recommend!”

“Samantha did a great job taking care of our cat, Furglur, at our home during our recent travels. We loved her updates about Furglur, as well as the pictures she sent. Furglur loves being outside in our garden and Samantha made sure that Furglur got a chance to go out on every visit. Though we miss our cat when we travel, we are now reassured leaving Furglur in Samantha's care.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my reliability and attention to each pet's individual needs. I take time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so they feel comfortable and cared for even when their owners are away. I also provide frequent updates and photos to give owners peace of mind. I have experience with both puppies and senior pets. I've also cared for older pets who need medication and slower-paced walks, so I'm comfortable with special care routines. I am home all day on the weekends and can fully devote my attention to your pets. Your pet will be with me at all times and provided breaks as needed. I have a fenced yard and no other animals at home. Your pet is welcome to lie on our couches on a comfy bed on the ground. My house provides a safe, quiet environment.
About: I would love to take care of your fur babies. I am also a college athlete so I can play and run around with your dogs outside. I am just a student so the only thing that I would have each day would be class. I have made my schedule to where I do not have a lot of classes each day and my classes end early. I do not have my family dog with me so I will treat every animal that I sit like my own. I am very energetic so I will make sure the dogs that I sit will get the exercise they need.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, and I've fostered and volunteered with animal shelters. I have experience with a broad range of dog breeds and every life stage from puppyhood to senior adulthood. I also have experience working with animals with various medical conditions. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so I can spent quality time with your pets and make sure they get the best possible care. I want to make sure your pet is always safe and comfortable! I'll take the time to learn about your pet's needs, routines, and personality.
“Because of a family trip, we had to find someone to care for our cats on short notice. Nikita responded incredibly quickly and handled everything we asked for in a very professional manner. She also always left us photos of our cats during each visit, which gave us great peace of mind. Most importantly, she treated our cats like family, and our cats absolutely loved her visits. If we travel again in the future, we will definitely be reaching out to Nikita without any hesitation.”

About: What sets me apart is my mix of professional experience and love for animals. I worked at a grooming facility for 2 years, where I learned how to safely handle dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, keep them comfortable, and pay attention to little details that matter for their care. This past summer, I also had the chance to travel to Australia, where I got to experience wildlife and animal care from a whole new perspective. That experience strengthened my passion for working with animals and taught me how important patience and consistency are in giving them the best care. Whether it’s energetic puppies or older dogs that need extra gentleness, I bring both skill and heart to every pet I look after. I am a 4th year part-time Pre-Vet student at Tuskegee University so I am not available on Mondays and Thursday's. But I am available every other day in the afternoon and most mornings! I live in a pet-friendly apartment with two other pre-vet students, so your baby will always be surrounded by animal lovers! There’s plenty of space for walks and play, plus access to a pool if your pup enjoys swimming 🤿. And for cats, I create enrichment activities or give them cozy spots to relax 😎. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets stay safe, happy, and on their usual routine with plenty of love and attention.
About: I’ve always had a passion for animals of all species and breeds! I do not have any dislike towards any animal and I feel they should be treated just like humans with respect and unconditional care and love. Every dog I’ve had I have trained personally and raised in my own I’m currently a stay at home mom so I do have a one year old daughter but to make some extra money I thought this would be perfect since I have an open schedule besides being home with my daughter If you would like your animal boarded in my home they will have a potty schedule every 2-4 hours and they will have open space inside the home and have plenty of toys to play with as well they will go on 1-2 walks a day I am currently a stay at home mom who has always had a passion for animals I love all breeds and sizes and will treat your fur babyw ith the upmost best care I will communicate daily and always send you photos and videos I love to have your pets schedule as close as possible to what you have at home for them so they are as comfortable as possible while in my care I always make sure that they have everything they need and have the best time
“Chavon was very kind with every request made regarding the care and upkeep of my pups while I was out of town. My pups were met with such love and energy during their time with her. She also went above what was requested to ball a game of fetch nearly everyday with my pup. I will definitely be utilizing her services again!”

“Tasi took great care checking in with our puppy while we were away at work for the day! Came home to our puppy happily sleeping in his crate. Was so relieving knowing she would be stopping by to take care of him!”

About: Our entire family loves to care for animals! I personally have been a responsible pet sitter for over 25 years. While we currently are a pet free home, we have been thankful to have owned and cared for a black lab, yorkie poo (lived until 15), two German Shepards (currently guard dogs in Haiti), rabbits and many goats. While your pet is with me you will receive multiple updates and feel secure in the fact that they are being loved and taken care of just as you would! I would love the privilege to care for your beloved dog while you are away! I am a stay at home homeschool mom and have the ability to care for your animal all day. It is so fun to incorporate dog walks and playtime with your animals in my daily schedule. I can easily crate your fur baby, or they can sleep in a comfy dog bed. We have a large yard, with a small portion fenced. Since we are a homeschool family, we spend a lot of time out doors and I love to take dogs for walks and let them join us outside if that is what your fur baby enjoys. If you need help with drop in services at your own home, I can arrange those services to meet your dogs needs.
“Not only has Regan taken excellent care of our dogs during multiple visits (drop-in, as well as house sitting), but when one of our dogs became ill through no fault of his own, he stayed with her past his designated departure time until someone could come pick her up and take her to the emergency vet. I can not recommend him highly enough.”
