“Rufus and I were very suddenly put together by fate it would seem. I desperately needed help with his care to compensate for my schedule. Aneisha has been an amazing help in getting Rufus acclimated to his new home and routine. Simply excellent.”

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for the majority of my life, starting with my family's pets and continuing with my own senior dog, Minnie, whom I've cared for for 13 years. This lifelong experience has given me a deep understanding of a pet's needs throughout all life stages. What truly sets me apart is my specific experience with senior care, including the comfort and skill to administer medication like eye drops and pills. I am also confident and capable of handling large, energetic breeds, as I regularly care for my sister's two 70-pound Huskies. I believe in a calm and patient approach to every pet I meet, earning their trust and making them feel comfortable and safe with me. Since I work part-time, my schedule is very flexible and allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I can accommodate a range of times for dog walks and drop-in visits, and my flexibility also makes me available for last-minute requests. Pet care is a priority for me, and my schedule is built to ensure I can provide consistent and timely care for every client. When caring for pets, whether it's for a drop-in visit or a dog walk, my first priority is to follow the owner's specific instructions and routine exactly as they are laid out. Before starting, I will ask about your pet's routine, personality, and how they respond to different environments to ensure a stress-free and positive experience. For drop-in visits, I will ensure your pet has fresh food and water, gets a potty break, and has some quality one-on-one time, whether it's through play, cuddles, or just companionship. For dog walks, I focus on providing a safe and enjoyable experience, matching the pace to your dog's needs and energy level while being attentive to our surroundings. I believe clear communication with the owner is key, and I will be sure to provide updates and photos to let you know how your pet is doing.

About: I use to dog/cat sit before I got married. My schedule can be a little hectic as I work during the week and usually keep busy. I do understand last minute issues and do try to help where I can. I had a dog that passed away in 2018 of December and this is how I get my pet fix lol. I’ve had a lot of changes in my life the last few years with marriage and moving for starters. I still work far away, which is why weekends are best. I will attempt to stay on the schedule that the owner has for their pet. This way the pet will feel confortable and secure in their settings.

“She does a wonderful job taking care of my dogs.”

About: Powered by passion, fueled by happy tails, and alongside a strong foundation in veterinary medicine, I am committed to providing compassionate, knowledgeable care. I take pride in forming trusting relationships with every pet I meet Pets free roam! I have an area for feeding, able to walk pets several times throughout the day, and my home provides a quiet/stress free environment for both dogs and cats! Pet care and enrichment are my top priority. I provide multiple walks throughout the day, positive reinforcement, and approved treats. Daily playtime is included! I am trained in administrating medicine via subcutaneous injection, transdermal medication, and oral medication.

About: I understand animal behavior, studied force free training and finally became a certified dog trainer earlier this year. While working in a boarding facility I noticed the dogs were not happy, uneasy and confused. Some wouldn't eat for days, some wouldn't go potty outside, and most would desperately look for their owners during our walks. And don't even get me started on how disarrayed the cats were. From that experience I knew I wanted to encourage pet owners if they must leave their pets, leave them at home, or in a homely environment, where they can be undividedly attended to, loved and cared for. I am a stay-at-home mother/wife, writer, artist, and animal lover with ample flexibility throughout the week. I like to plan my days at least 24 hours in advance to ensure efficiency in all my duties. Nature, nurture, and animals are part of my purpose for living I believe. Therefore, their wellbeing is what I care about. I am disciplined, forthcoming and honest, and enjoy interacting with others of similar character. Even though I play heavily with animals when they want to play with me, I also create an atmosphere of mutual respect and order, usually upon 1st introduction. This allows the pet to follow my lead and trust in me as a child would a parent.

“She has been great. I even had , reschedule and she had no problems at all with me changing my date. Both dogs seen very happy after walking with her.”

About: I have experience caring for pets with different needs, personalities, and energy levels. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn what makes yours feel safe and happy. What sets me apart is the personal care I give… your pet gets the same love, respect, and attention I would give my own. I’ll be starting school in August and i have a day job from 8am- 5pm with the weekends off. So if that would be able to fit in your schedule i’ll be a great person for your pet. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I take time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality so they feel comfortable and secure. In both my home and the client’s home, I focus on keeping things calm, clean, and familiar making sure they get love, exercise, meals on time, and lots of attention.

I will walk your pet early or late, on trails or on sidewalks in order to keep Fido happy and healthy. Doggy Daycare: Maintaining healthy habits that become essential to an improved lifestyle is what I learned at my Petsmart job. That includes the food, treats, exercise, socializing/training that your pet is exposed to daily. I offer my services as a pet sitter from my home at a manageable fee for outstanding service.

My passion for animals goes beyond just providing care – I truly understand the unique needs of each pet.

Whether it’s the playful energy of a dog or the gentle nature of small animals, I treat each pet as if they were my own. What sets me apart is not only my hands-on experience but also my dedication to providing tailored care. I've been pet sitting since I was 12, gaining knowledge and experience with each new pet I care for. In addition to caring for animals, I hold a college degree in finance with a minor in psychology from Clemson University. I currently work in commercial real estate, but my love for animals drives me to offer pet sitting as a side hustle, allowing me to share my passion while helping pet owners feel secure in leaving their pets in trusted hands. At 25 years old, I bring both maturity and a lifelong love for animals to my pet sitting services. Whether it's a weekend getaway or long-term care, I treat every pet with the same care and attention I'd give my own. Pet care seamlessly fits into my schedule, as I am free almost every weekend and even on weekdays as I work a hybrid position. On those days, I’m still able to provide exceptional care for your pets by utilizing my lunch break to visit your home and ensure they’re well-cared for. Whether I’m working from home or in the office, I prioritize your pet’s well-being and am flexible enough to accommodate their needs. As a full-time professional, I’m responsible, dedicated, and able to balance my work commitments with providing top-notch care for your pets. You can trust that I’ll give your pets the attention and affection they deserve, all while maintaining a high level of reliability and professionalism.

Playtime, feeding, and any other specific care needs will be handled with attention to detail, so your pets feel right at home. I also respect your space and take great care in keeping everything in its place. I’ll make sure your home remains just as you left it, with doors securely closed, valuables undisturbed, and any pet-related items organized. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority, and I will take the necessary steps to ensure everything stays secure and in its proper place while you’re away.
