Kat did an excellent job caring for our dog when we were away for the day! She came by twice to take our dog out and to feed him dinner. Will definitely be contacting her again when we need assistance!

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own because I know how much they mean to you. I don’t just “watch” animals I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and little quirks so they feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ve worked with both puppies and senior pets, so I understand how different their needs can be. Whether it’s helping reinforce potty training and leash habits for younger dogs, or giving extra patience, gentle care, and medication support for older pets, I adjust to what your pet needs. You’ll never be left wondering how things are going. I send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: Give your pet a stress free, loving experience and give you total peace of mind. Throughout the week, I stay flexible so I can accommodate different routines, whether it’s early morning visits, evening checkins, or multiple visits per day. I also build in time for updates, so pet owners always know how their pet is doing. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, it’s not just a task, it’s something I look forward to, making it easy to give each pet the care and attention they deserve. I provide care based on what makes each pet most comfortable, whether that’s in my home or yours. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and quiet companionship, so they feel safe in their own space. I’m respectful of your home and keep everything clean and consistent.

Jonathan was willing to help me out super last minute to give my Gargy a good long walk when I got called into work. He let me know when he was on the way, walking him, and heading out and left a few pictures as well! I will definitely be keeping him in mind in the future :)

About: Ive grown up with my pets my entire life from having 2 dogs, 3 cats, fish, and a snake I love all animals! I decided to join this app after helping my friends in college take care of pets they were watching through Rover and looking for extra side income after having my son roughly two years ago. What sets me apart from other sitters is my level of patience, I’m no stranger to the crazy energy of a pet (or toddler😂) and I can’t wait to meet your furry fam and be crazy with them too! I have experience with puppies, teenagers, and even senior dogs as well! I have availability right after I get off work at 1:15pm every day, until I have to pick my son up from daycare at 3pm. Monday-Friday I’m open and am free to walk in the Jonesville/Newberry/Gainesville area! :) I currently only offer house drop in visits and dog walking, but I will consider other services if you are a previously established client, just message me with requests! :)

About: I have an extensive background with all types of pets, even owning 15 types of big and small animals growing up myself. I’ve watched numerous breeds of dogs and cats for neighbors, family, and friends and I am dedicated to treating each pet with individuality tailored care. I have a flexible schedule as a part time barista and college student, and the earlier my notice is the more I can do for your furry friends. I make it my priority to check on my own furry friends as much as possible. Health is a top priority, but cuddles are always added if the pet permits them.

I’m always worried about leaving my cat Addie when I go on trips. Nicole was a terrific find! She was professional, sent daily photos/updates, and took great care of Addie. She even brought in all of my mail. I will definitely use Nicole again for future trips.

About: I have experience caring for a variety of small animals and pets, including dogs, cats, and other small companions. I’m very attentive, patient, and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I understand how important routines are, so I follow feeding schedules, provide playtime, and make sure pets get the attention and care they’re used to. I’m also comfortable with basic cleaning, administering simple instructions, and keeping owners updated. I’m available during the day Monday through Friday while my child is in school, which allows me to give pets my full attention during those hours. I’m also available for weekend bookings and flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. Your pet will get consistent care, supervision, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for all pets in my care. I make sure pets are always secure. I can follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, crate use if needed, and any special instructions. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and at home while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of many animals throughout my life, mainly cats and dogs. I am a certified cat sitter, but have no issue caring for your canine companion. I have no issues giving injections, medication, or else anything your pet may need, during my visit. I work part-time so I can usually check on/watch your pet most times during the day. Mornings and afternoons are the best times I can check on your pet. I will always do my best to treat your pet the same way I would treat my own. I understand trust is earned with a pet and will be patient and loving to any animal that I am in trusted with.

About: I have around 8 years of personal pet care experience, including a summer job at PetSmart. I took care of dogs, cats, and every little animal in-between. I have 6 cats, and 1 dog, all of whom were rescued from different situations, and are well-loved and cared for deeply. My availability differs from week to week, but I will do my best to accommodate every pet parent's individual schedules and needs. I will ensure excellent communication throughout the process. I intend to treat my client's home and animals with respect and the same standards I hold my own home to. While I am unable to offer my own home, I will make sure that your's is taken care of.

Are’Anna has now looked after our dogs for 2 weekends and we couldn’t ask for someone better. We have 3 dogs, a Vizsla/Ridgeback mix weighing 90 lbs., a Catahoula weighing 80 lbs., and a Boston weighing 20 lbs. They all love her so much, the mix we were worried about because he’s nervous around new people but he liked her instantly, and the other two did as well. She has gone above and beyond what we expected and has taken the best care of our pups. She’s gotten to our house exactly when she said she would, spent plenty of time giving them attention and letting them potty, and sent plenty of pictures and updates on how they were doing. Leaving your pets for any amount of time is difficult, but Are’Anna has taken some of that stress away because we know she cares about our animals. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone in the area that needs somebody to look after their pets for any amount of time.
