House Sitting Seven Hickories

“I believe this is the second time Gabbi has pet sat for us and so happy we found her! I feel comfortable leaving everyone in her care (2 cats, 1 dog). Our dog just started new medications that made me nervous but Gabbi was comfortable and was able to administer them with ease. She is responsive, communicative, and I love the updates with photos. Highly recommend!”

“Busara was incredible! She was so attentive to the animals and sent us great updates! She was so professional and lovely to interact with. I can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since 2018 and have experience caring for cats, dogs, and birds. I currently have a cat and a bird of my own, and I’ve also had dogs in the past. I’m an Agriscience Education major and took Animal Science in high school, so I’ve always had a strong interest in animals and their care. I’m comfortable following feeding routines, cleaning litter boxes and cages, giving medications when needed, and making sure pets get plenty of attention and playtime. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away! I’m a college student, so my schedule can vary depending on my classes, but I have flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I’m able to plan visits around my class schedule and make sure pets receive the care and attention they need. I’m also happy to communicate ahead of time to work out a schedule that fits both you and your pet! I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they are in a safe, comfortable, and clean environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine and any specific instructions they leave for me. I’m respectful of your home and always make sure doors, gates, cages, and other areas are secure before I leave. I also understand that some pets can be nervous around new people, so I’m patient and give them time to get comfortable with me. My goal is for both you and your pets to feel safe and confident while you’re away!

“Claire is a sweetheart and took care of our 3 pups all day. They were happy and tired out when we got back. Definitely recommend Claire!”

“Krista was the absolute best dog sitter we could have hoped for! She was so caring and loving to both our dogs. She was especially patient with our high energy boy. Krista was incredibly flexible with our booking times as plans changed. We received daily photos and updates and knew our pups were in great hands.”

About: Caring for a disabled animal requires patience and compassion. Such as, ensuring a comfortable, accessible living space, using mobility aids if needed, and scheduling regular vet visits. Providing them with mental stimulation while monitoring their pain. Above all, offering love and understanding to create a safe, happy environment. I prioritize pet care by scheduling regular walks, playtime, and feeding into my daily routine to ensure all animals receive constant attention, exercise, and love I have a keen sense of empathy and patience when caring for animals, allowing me to understand their needs and behaviors. My experience with diverse breeds and temperaments equips me to handle various situations calmly and effectively. I am knowledgeable in administering medications, providing first aid, and ensuring a safe and enriching environment.

“This was the first time we left our dogs for four nights and we were a bit anxious about it. Kelsey was great with the dogs and she sent us pictures to let us know they were happy & having fun.”

About: Since I was a teenager, I've been entrusted with the care of pets belonging to friends, relatives, and neighbors. They know they can rely on me to give their furry buddies the attention they deserve. What sets me apart is my experience in administering various medications, including insulin for both dogs and cats. I've become quite skilled at handling those sometimes-tricky injections. Whether it's insulin, oral medications, or other prescribed treatments, I'll make sure your pet gets the right dosage at the right time. On top of that, I have two cats and two dogs of my own who are my absolute world. Having my own pets has taught me the importance of patience, love, and understanding when it comes to providing exceptional care. When you choose me as your pet sitter, you can rest easy knowing that your pets will receive the highest level of care. From medication administration to cuddles and playtime, I'll give your furry companions all the attention and love they need. They'll be in great hands with me! As someone who works from home in the commercial Insurance field, I have the flexibility to effortlessly incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. During the day, I'm available to make sure your pets are comfortable and happy. Regular bathroom breaks are a must, and I'll make sure your furry friends have plenty of opportunities to stretch their legs and do their business while they're with me. Once my workday winds down in the evenings, my focus shifts to spending quality time with the pets in my care. We'll go for leisurely walks, engage in playful activities, and I'll give them all the attention they need to keep their tails wagging and their spirits high. If needed, I can easily rearrange my workspace to stay close to your pets throughout the day. Your pets' safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I'll always be there to address their needs promptly. For your convenience, I'm available for Drop-In visits before 8 am and after 4:45 PM on weekdays. Whether it's feeding, potty breaks, or playtime, I'm here to provide the necessary care during these times to fit your schedule. Rest assured that your pets will be pampered and loved as if they were my own. I understand the importance of consistency, and I'll create a warm and structured environment where your furry companions can thrive and feel right at home. When it comes to caring for pets, I prioritize their safety, trust, and happiness, whether they're in my home or in their own cozy space. For dogs, I have a fantastic fenced-in yard where they can freely explore and have a blast off-leash. It's a secure space where they can burn off their energy and have a paw-some time! If your furry friend is a small animal that prefers or requires a crate, I've got you covered. I have crates available to ensure their comfort and safety. Just let me know if you'd like them to have their own cozy space. In addition to these services, I offer drop-in visits, which means I'll swing by your place to take care of all the important stuff—feeding, bathroom breaks, and playtime included! It's a great way to ensure your pets are happy and well taken care of while you're away. Whether you need boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, doggy daycare, or dog walking, I've got you and your furry pals covered! Your pets will feel right at home during boarding or house sitting, getting all the love and attention they deserve. Doggy daycare is a fun and stimulating experience for your pups, while dog walking ensures they stay fit, healthy, and have a wag-tastic time outside. Rest assured, I'll treat your pets like family—providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment no matter where they are. You can count on me to make their experience full of tail wags, purrs, and all-around happiness!

“Krose had a great day with Chelsea! Chelsea arrived early with a goodie bag with treats and a toy. We appreciated the photos throughout the day. We were happy to see he was relaxed when we arrived home. We would definitely use Chelsea again!”

About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner for 10 years, and I’m passionate about both dogs and staying active. As a schoolteacher, I’m excited to continue doing what I love while earning extra income to help pay off my student loans and purchase supplies for my classroom. I can walk dogs Monday through Friday after 3:30 pm. If you’re running late and need someone to help out in a pinch, I'm happy to assist. I’m available on Saturday and Sunday to walk your furry friend three times a day, or more if needed. Our dog is incredibly spoiled and loved. Whenever I come home, she brings me her ball, and we play fetch before anything else. She is groomed monthly, walked several times daily, and receives constant attention. When we have salmon, we cook her a plain fillet, which she loves.

“Ashley is a wonderful dog and house sitter! She took great care of Sadie for a week while we were out of town. She did everything I requested and was always very kind and courteous. The house looked exactly how we left it. Not a thing out of place. She is very trustworthy and highly dependable. I would recommend her to anyone!”

Anne H.

“Nina was great! She collected a lot of written information about our dog Daisy prior to our vacation and used it to guide her care. Nina's written log of play activities and treat rewards was remarkable and assured us Daisy was always in good hands. She updated us regularly while we were away with texts and photos. As part of our arrangement, we had requested a few extra tasks involving the watering of house plants (quite a few) and these were carried out to perfection. Not to mention, the house looked great when we returned! We will not hesitate to request our new friend and pat-sitter the next time we need to go away.”

Mitch F.

“Vanessa was very responsive during her stay and updated me if anything happened! She was prompt and piggy was well taken care of! We had some hiccups with his stomach right before our trip but Vanessa was comfortable giving him his medication and monitoring him! Will definitely rebook with her in the future.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life! We’ve had cats and reptiles before as well! I’ve dog sat for the past year now for a family every now and again when they need me! I’ve done it for a whole week or just a night out! Feeding, letting outside, walks, playing and of course some cuddling and pets! House sitting is obviously involved and I am ready for whatever you need me to do around the house while you are gone! I can’t wait to meet you and you’re animal friend! I’m available any weekday anytime around 8am-6pm except on Tuesdays I need to be home by 5pm! Weekends would need a heads up and could only work until 2pm OR could only work at night! I will not be boarding animals at my house! I do not have the facilities for that and also have 3 crazy beagles at home who would not appreciate another animal in the house!

About: From caring for 10 senior dogs at a rescue, to bathing dogs that got sprayed by skunks, to training and taking dogs on their own outings to parks and nature hikes, you name it I’ve done it! Even flying with dogs! ✈️ I have experience with all breeds, ages, and like to keep pet parents informed with notes & pics. Growing up in farm country taught me to love and care for all animals, but dogs and cats are by far my favorite. I also have experience in administering medications to our furry friends. I left my career of being a nanny in CA to move to the east coast to marry my husband. That was 2019, and I’ve been boarding/caring for animals since then. I’m currently a stay-at-home wifey so the dogs get 100 percent of my attention when they are with us. We live in a 3 story townhouse with a small unfenced yard in front of our home, to a large grassy area on the side of our home, to a giant green grass patch directly behind us just out our back door. The neighborhood is VERY dog-friendly with lots of sidewalks and comes complete with a dog park in walking distance. Our home is dog-friendly meaning dogs are allowed on all furniture and we even have doggie steps for little pooches to get up on our bed if they wish. We also have a 2mile + walking path near us. So we have plenty of activity options. We even have Pluto cartoons for your pet to watch! Pets get 100 percent of my attention when they stay with us. Their comfort and safety is my priority as I do pet care full-time. Our home has no place that’s off limits to your pets. If they want to snuggle on our bed or relax on our couch or even be in our guest room - they are more than welcome wherever they are most comfortable. We even have a massive bean bag most animals love thinking it’s a giant dog bed 😂.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with Border Collies and have also adopted several dogs over the years, so I'm comfortable with everything from high-energy working breeds to laid-back companions. I've also volunteered at several shelters, giving me experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, temperaments, and backgrounds. I work from home (as does my wife) so your pet will be getting consistent, attentive care. To be honest, our dog passed away last fall and we are missing the joy of being dog owners and having dogs around, but we need something a little more flexible for the time being. You are getting two sitters for the price of one and we will care for your dog as if they were our own :) As a former dog parent who has used Rover, my goal is to provide exactly what I was looking for each time I booked a walker/sitter: clear communication, limited hassle, and all of the assurances that you can rest easy and not worry...your doggo is in good hands! I work from home and call my own hours (as does my wife) so as long as we know your dog's routine we will make sure to incorporate it into our own. We have a fenced-in yard and a walking path near our home so walks are never a problem (we love walks). My wife and I both work from home so one of us will always be giving your dog attention/supervision. We have previously owned dogs who were flight risks so we have been conditioned to keep an eye out, keep doors closed, etc. We have a big fenced-in yard and have a little indoor gate/fence that we use in the house if need be to secure a hallway, etc.

About: I love dogs and I love spending time with them and playing with them! I love to snuggle or lay close with them and make sure they are comfortable at all times. I love playing with them and wearing them out so they sleep good at night! I love walking them and seeing how excited they get when someone comes to see them! I have dog sat many of dogs from very small to very big and I don't have a type, I love all sizes, shapes, and more! I have had a dog my whole life and I can't ever get enough of them. I have been told that I am good at dog sitting and their pets are always great when they return!

“Cole was spectacular with our older basset hounds. He was able to get both of them on walks (not easy with one being a little grumpy with new people). Both dogs while happy to see us, didn’t seem like they had been stressed while we were away- a big improvement for us! Cole also kept our home on great order, dealt with a clogged sink, and even watered my plants (without me asking!). We can’t wait to use him again for future times away- the boys seemed to enjoy his presence.”

Matthew A.

“Brianna is a great sitter- listens to directions well and send lots of photos and updates! Hoping she’s available the next time I need help! Thank Brianna!!”
