“Rebekkah did drop by visits for my two cats while I was out of town and was great! She was responsive, caring and took care of all their needs. I would definitely book Rebekkah again and would highly recommend her.”


“Amy is the best & my dogs love her so much. She always keeps me updated on what is going on while she drops in and goes above and beyond! We love Amy!!!”

“Lillie was great! She was communicative and punctual. She offered to do a meet and greet before our booking and the dogs loved her. She showed love, knowledge and professionalism. I am and have already booked her for more visits and an overnight. She has quickly become my regular and reliable sitter as I am new to the area and was in need. Thank you Lillie!”

“Lauren did a wonderful job keeping us updated and helping with some additional tasks at the house. Gustav (cat) clearly got some much needed attention while we were gone.”


About: My number one pet care skill is dog walking. In current life I have now, my family recently adopted an eleven month lab mix puppy who I have been helping to house train and potty train her. I live near a park with a track around it, so it makes it easy to walk her. My other skill would be getting dogs to like and trust me. Ever since I was four, I have had at least two dogs, which has trained me to give dogs a lot of pettings, talk to them, and play with them. Other specialties I have are feeding, watering, bathing, brushing a dog, and training a dog basic tricks, such as sit. Overall, I have had five dogs, in my life time since I was four, including a Jack Russel, Terrier mix, Pyrenees Poodle, Feist, and a Lab mix. Parting outside of dogs, I have experience with caring for rabbits, birds and fowl (chicken, duck, geese, guinea), and a stray cat. Hi, I am a second year college student, and also have a job in fast food. Dog sitting is my side gig, which making my hours limited. I am available all day on Sundays, available after 1:30pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and before 3pm on Saturdays. The number one way I will care for your pet at your home is by being attentive. I'll make sure that they are not doing anything they should not be doing. I will also ensure they have plenty of time outside for potty breaks, walks, and exercise. Furthermore I will keep an eye that they are fed properly, have plenty of water, and loved and cared for. Lastly, I'll make certain to clean whatever mess your pet may make and guarantee that your pet is happy and content.

“Sydney was great! Planned a trip short notice and needed someone to check on my 10 month old golden retriever puppy. She came the night before to meet us as this was my first time ever using the app. Will definitely use her again!”


“Heather was on time, and took good care of our pups while we were at a wedding. We are from Indiana so it was stressful to leave our dogs in a rental for 6+ hours. Heather helped alleviate that stress by coming and taking the dogs for a walk, playing with them, and feeding them during the wedding. I would definitely recommend her services!”


“This was our first booking with Dixie B. She took excellent care of our Cat!...will use her services again.”


“Brinkley, Thank you so much for helping us out last minute with Duke and Wanda! You left us with no worries while we were away! Look forward to seeing you again soon! Thank you!”


“I am so grateful to Leandra for taking such good care of my pups while I was away for the day!!! She took them on 2 walks each, sent pics and videos and gave me a run down of what they did, how they were, etc. I will definitely book Leandra again and again, my pups loved her and were tired and happy babies when I got home 🥰”


About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats and hamsters for a couple of years first was my family dog, then my cat in college and roommate’s hamster I only work 2-3 days out of the week for only 2 hours and I am free weekends. Which gives me enough time to care for your pets and spend time with them. I can also care for smaller pets like fish or hamsters if needed. In my home,which is my dorm, I feed my cat twice a day and make sure his water bowl is always full and clean out his litter box at the beginning of each day. In case of a fire I grab my cat with his emergency bag and I have also helped my roommate get her hamster out during a fire drill. I always make sure to spend time playing with them as well. For clients I make sure to care for their pets as I would want anyone else to care for mine; providing the food as asked by the client and cleaning after the pet as asked which includes cleaning the litter box or going for walks and playing with the pets.

About: 🐾 We treat every pup that visits our home with the love and tender care they deserve. Whether it’s playing with them in our fenced back yard, taking walks around downtown Seneca, or simply lounging in the living room, we treat every furry guest like part of the family. We enjoy taking many photos and videos of your babies and writing frequent updates to let you know they are well and in good hands. As life-long pet lovers, we have experience caring for young energetic pups, and those mature friends that may need special care and attention. So, if you just need to drop off your best bud for the day so they don’t have to be alone while you work or doing errands, or for an extended stay while you enjoy a well-earned trip, we are here to be your pet’s home away from home. We offer multiple-pet discounts!

About: I am your typical animal lover! The one you see talking to people’s pets in public. I currently have a rescue GSD and a rescue cat so whether you have had your pet since a puppy or adopted at an older age, I assure you they will get ALL the loving. My passion is to rescue hurt, sick, or abandoned animals. I love meeting all the different personalities pets bring. I am a travel emergency nurse that finished an assignment in Highlands, NC recently. I am pretty flexible on times currently. I loved the area so I have decided to hang out for a while until my next assignment. I travel back home (AL) to work every two weeks but will have several days of availability! I am very responsible when it comes to mine and your pet. You set the boundaries for your pets and myself and I promise we will abide by them

“Second time using Ashley for a drop in! She is invaluable!”


About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life and have had a wide variety of pets. I am comfortable taking care of senior pets puppies and ones that require special needs. I have a flexible lifestyle and flexible scheduling and can provide the needed time to care for your pet and will provide updates on a consistent basis. I have a large yard and will keep pets on leash if required but I am located in a rural area a good distance from any major road.

About: I've raised and cared for dogs and cats my entire life! I'm familiar with them at all stages, ages, and sizes with basic or special needs (medication, extra snuggles, house rules, etc.). I'm also skilled with caring and training pups! My current dog, Duck, was raised and trained using Zac George's inside-out training which enforces positive behavior and builds a strong relationship with your pup. Duck has also experienced some long-term healthcare needs and emergencies, all of which were handled with absolute care, precision, and peace to cause less stress on him. I'm familiar with medication regimens and adapting to an animal's needs. As for cats, I have two of my own that I love dearly! I'm here to provide any care they need as well including snuggles, treats, and playtime. **NOTE OF AVAILABILITY** I'm available all day Sunday-Tuesday for pet care. On Wednesday and Thursdays, I'm unavailable 12:15 - 6:15 due to work, and again I'm unavailable on Fridays 11:15 - 5:15 due to work. I can check in on your pets or walk them anytime before or after! As the owner of a rambunctious pup, I understand the value of rules! If visiting or staying in your home, I'll obey all house rules for myself and your pet. I clean up after myself and your pup as well as crate them, treat them, or whatever else they need.

“Julia was perfect with Maggie. On her first visit, she spent a long time trying to earn Maggie’s trust, and by the end of the three-day sitting, Maggie eagerly waited for her at our doorstep. Even when we got home, Maggie stared at the door waiting for her to come back again. We will call on Julia again in the future without hesitation.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets of all shapes and sizes as well as house sat for 4 years. I also own a big dog and have owned medium dogs and cats when I was younger. I’m currently working from home so I’m available most days, anytime, except Sunday mornings. I am comfortable house/dog sitting on holidays and extended periods of time as well. I’m more comfortable with watching pets in their own space so they are comfortable too. Pets need lots of exercise, play, and attention. I like to stick to the pets schedule so they have an easier time while their family is away! It’s also important to me that they aren’t alone long. Company, care and companionship are essential! Trust is also essential. I’m very organized and to myself. You would never have to worry about me rummaging in your things or areas I’m not designated to.

Carlos & Jenny G.
“Jenny watches my dogs Olly and Andy every time I go out of town and they absolutely love her! She takes such good care of them! She follows the instructions I leave her, takes them on walks, and I trust her completely. They are always excited to see her and are well taken care of when I return. I highly recommend her caring for your animals.”


April W.
“You only have to know April for a few minutes to discover she has a clear passion for animals, especially dogs, horses, and cats! She is extremely knowledgeable about animals from her youth of owning various animals, working after school for a local horse breeder, and spending time in a local vet office. This, along with her ER nursing experience, gives her a confidence that I appreciate when she takes care of my pup. When April keeps my dog, I travel without a single worry for his safety and health. I know I will come home to find him healthy, happy, and usually not wanting to leave her! There are very few people that I consider leaving my dog with for brief business trips, but when I needed to be in Spain for a month, I would have canceled the trip if April had not been available. She treated my pet as she would her own, maintained consistent communication (soothing my separation anxiety!), and was unwavering in following my dog's unique diet plan. I would not hesitate to recommend April to anyone seeking devoted, outstanding care for their furry family members.”

I go out of town quite a bit and Taylor has always been exceptional about watching my pets and making sure that they are loved and taken care of in my absence. I don’t know what I would do without Taylor. He’s the best!”


Anna M.
“We have two cats and one dog, who has very specific medical needs. He is a handful, and very energetic and strong, but Anna took great care of him, kept him happy and healthy, and was able to administer the medicine he needed each day. Anna is very patient, loving, and kind. She even taught our dog some new tricks! I would highly recommend Anna for any pet sitting needs, and I know she'll be watching our animals again in the future.”
