Cat Sitting in Rockmart

About: My parents had dogs before I was born so I have never lived without dogs. I share my house now with my two dogs, and I am very lucky to work from home where I can be with them all day. In addition, I spent many years volunteering with a local shelter where I was a dog walker, an adoption counselor, a foster dog mom, and assisted with training classes. If you have a dog care need outside of what I have set as what I will accept, contact me because I may be able to make exceptions on a case-by-case basis. My schedule revolves around my dogs. I have a secure, fenced-in yard and an enclosed porch, but they do spend most of their time indoors with me. When I am home, they go out every 3-4 hours, and if I am away, which is not often, I do not leave them for more than 8 hours. I am not scheduling for more than 3 months out, but if you have a specific date request beyond that, contact me and I can look at options. When I host your dog at my home, he or she will be treated like part of the family. I feed my dogs twice a day, and they go out every 3-4 hours when I am not home, or more often if needed. On sunny days, my dogs also enjoy laying on my enclosed porch where I have a few dog beds set up for them. The feeding and potty schedule for your dog is up to you, so please communicate that with me if it would be different from my own dogs. On the rare occasions where I need to leave for doctor appointments or family events, I would crate your dog, or alternately, secure your dog in a small room using a baby gate if you dog cannot tolerate crating. I have two bad shoulders, and therefore I do not walk dogs, but your dog would get plenty of play time with my dogs in my house and in my yard. While I try to not have dogs on the furniture, it doesn't always work out that way, but I do have multiple dog beds in every room of my home. I also have designated areas of the couch where my dogs are allowed. I would require you to bring a leash and your dog's food when you drop him or her off. In terms of in-home visits to care for your dog, I will be sure to let them out, feed them, make sure they have water, administer medications as required, and spend about 15 minutes with them in snuggles or playtime. As mentioned above, I have two bad shoulders so I am not able to walk your dog.

“Dani was such a great caretaker of our three cats. She is reliable, very caring and detail oriented. She communicated well throughout the time I was gone and always sent me photos of all my cats. I can’t wait to use her again the next time I leave town. I was really nervous about using the app and having someone I didn’t know come watch my cats, and typically when I am gone I have a lot of anxiety leaving them. Dani came over before I left and we had a meet and greet and since then I felt so comfortable having her as my pet sitter. I didn’t stress one time while I was away because I knew she was taking great care of my cats ❤️”

About: Animals have been a constant part of my life — I grew up with both dogs and cats, and I’ve continued caring for them throughout my adult life. Because of that, I understand the little things that make each pet unique: the routines they rely on, the quirks that make them who they are, and the kind of attention that helps them feel safe and loved. When I’m walking your dog or stopping in for a visit, I bring that same lifelong experience and patience. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies who need structure to senior pets who move at a slower pace. I’m also attentive to shy or anxious pets and take the time to earn their trust. What sets me apart is how personally I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pet. I treat your animals the way I treat my own — with consistency, kindness, and genuine care. My goal is simple: when you’re away, your pet still feels at home. As an educator and high school football coach, I’m used to balancing responsibilities, managing time well, and showing up consistently for the people who depend on me. That same reliability carries over into the way I care for pets. With summer approaching, my schedule becomes even more flexible, giving me plenty of time for regular walks, drop‑in visits, and consistent routines for your pets. Even during the school year, my afternoons, evenings, and weekends are open, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care naturally into my week. Because I’ve always had dogs and cats of my own — both growing up and now in my adult life — caring for animals is already part of my daily rhythm. Whether it’s early‑morning walks, midday check‑ins, or evening visits, I’m able to give each pet the attention, structure, and comfort they’re used to. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and stress‑free as possible. I know how much comfort pets get from being in their own space, so I make sure everything I do matches the rhythm they’re used to. I follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, walk times, medications, crate routines, and any little quirks that matter to your dog or cat. I take the time to learn their personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and slow to warm up, or somewhere in between. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and structure so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. Because I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, both growing up and now as an adult, I’m comfortable handling all kinds of needs: puppy energy, senior care, anxious pets, or those who just want someone to sit nearby and keep them company. I also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Meaghan is always reliable and sends notes and pictures every visit that put my mind at ease while I’m away. She takes time to play with the kitties which is nice too because they get bored. She’s the best!”

“Destiny was wonderful with Lotus. She was prompt, communicative, and clearly attentive to his needs. She even stayed a little longer to give him extra time to go potty, which I really appreciated. I felt completely comfortable having her in my home and would absolutely recommend her to others.”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and caring for pets is something I truly love. I have over 10 years of experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I’ve dog-sat many times for friends and families, including caring for multiple pets in one home for weeks at a time (3 dogs and 4 cats). I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and keeping pets on their normal routines so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I also have experience with senior and special-needs pets. I once cared for an elderly German Shepherd whose back legs no longer worked. I helped with mobility, hygiene, feeding, and cleanup, and made sure she stayed comfortable and loved. This experience taught me patience, compassion, and how important gentle care is for older pets. I treat every pet like my own and always aim to give pet parents peace of mind through reliable, attentive care. I work part-time at a restaurant, so my schedule is very flexible. On days I am not working, I am available to stay with pets all day and provide overnight care. On the days that I do work, my shifts are typically about 5 hours long, which still allows me time to care for pets before and after work. If I am scheduled for a double shift, I have a 1-hour break in between, which I can use to check in on pets, walk them, and make sure they are comfortable and cared for. I always prioritize making sure pets are not left alone for long periods and maintain a consistent care routine. When caring for pets, my top priority is creating a safe, calm, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and house rules to ensure consistency for the pet. I always make sure doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye on pets during walks or playtime, and maintain a clean environment including food areas and litter boxes. I take time to build trust with each pet at their own pace, especially those who may be shy or anxious. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and provide dependable, attentive care so owners can feel completely at ease while they’re away.

“There aren't enough words to express how AMAZING Dianne is, both as a cat-sitter and as a person. Not only did she send me daily updates on my Chunky boy, but she clearly bonded with him instantly and they became good friends. He let her scratch her in ways nobody but me can! Besides how she adored my kitty cat, she took care of the essentials as well (food, water, litter) and went above and beyond to push my trash out and bring packages inside. I will definitely be using Dianne for all future pet-sitting needs and have already confirmed her for a week in November. THANK YOU, DIANNE! Your care for Chunky let me enjoy my vacation and I truly appreciate that.”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for animals. I have two dogs of my own, so I understand daily routines, responsibility, and the attention pets need to feel happy and secure. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already care for my own two dogs every day. I’m used to building my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and consistent attention. Adding pet sitting or visits easily fits into my weekly routine, and I enjoy making time for animals whenever needed. I care for pets by making sure their basic needs are fully met and they feel comfortable and relaxed. During drop-ins, I feed them, refresh their water, clean up if needed, and spend time giving them attention and companionship. For walks, I make sure they get safe, enjoyable exercise suited to their energy level. I always aim to keep pets calm, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.

“Friendly, informative, reliable. Highly recommend. Will be using her services again! :)”

“If there was an award to provide for the care that was provided, Cherie would be top winner! We would certainly book her again because of her timeliness, attention to detail and simply the care she gave our babies while away.”

About: I taken care of a number of animals since I was 13/14 years old. I’ve helped friends/family with their pets in many different times of need. Open to any breed of dog. I am a stay at home Mom and I have a very flexible schedule. I can be available to help with your pet any day and any time. As a child I grew up taking in all different types of animals. My family and I raised opossums, a deer, raccoons, squirrels, and every type of farm animal. During that time it really grew my love for animals. I have acreage that my pets love to run on. My house is nestled back in the woods and away from any roads. I have a pond that my dogs love to swim in. I have walking trails that I could walk your dog on. My dogs are crate trained for nights and when we aren’t home. I am open to keeping dogs out of crates and they are welcome in our home.

About: I have grown up with animals and am comfortable caring for tiny kittens to giant dogs. I have experience in training animals and better yet giving them love and care.

I have a flexible schedule to walk and/or do house visits frequently. My schedule also allows me to give nearly constant care and attention if needed for your pets. I believe every pet should get shown as much love as possible and I'm here to help!
