Cat Sitting in Shelby

“Emily is great! She was very attentive with our cats and they warmed up to her quickly. She loves animals and took great care of them while we were out of town. We def noticed a difference when we came home vs leaving them alone or just having a neighbor check on them. Would def recommend Emily and book her again!”

About: I have had pets for many years and pet sat for friends and family! I have experience with senior pets all the way to puppies. I have always loved being around pets of all descriptions! I am an educator and I am off for the summer. My schedule is flexible for the summer months and school holidays. I am available in afternoons during the school year. I will be available to visit with animals and take them on walks, if appropriate. I will be able to play with animals or just sit and love on them!!

“Very happy with Jonathan. He is very conscientious, and kind to Athena, my cat.”

About: Growing up, I have always been surrounded by dogs and cats along with any other pet you can think of. My first job was pet/house sitting for a family friend every other month. Now that I am older, I recently adopted a dog of my own! I love taking her on walks, playing, and going to trails and taking her hiking with me! I also have experience with farm animals such as chickens, goats, rabbits, horses, pigs, and even donkeys! I currently work part time and go to college so there is plenty of time to ensure proper attention and play with your pets! I am available early mornings and throughout the day depending on work and school schedule. I am more than willing to accommodate differentiating schedules. I crate trained my puppy and she has acclimated very well. I will make sure to follow all pet parents schedules and preferences whether that be crate training or free roam.

“Alyshia Jane is a very good communicator and responds quickly to messages. She is great with our farm animal's and everything went smooth as expected during the visits. 👍”

About: Hi, my name is Taylor! I am a recent high school graduate who will be attending NC State University in the fall to study Animal Science. I have past experience with pet sitting, often for longer than a week. Along with that, I have over a year of experience shadowing at a local veterinary hospital. I also have experience taking care of my own fur babies at home! I would love to spread love and care to your pets if you’ll have me. Please reach out if interested! I currently work part-time at Chick-fil-a, so I have plenty of time to hang out with your fur babies! I have a flexible and light schedule which allows me to dedicate a lot of my time to the animals around me. When at a client’s home I love to curl up with a good book and a sweet cat. I also enjoy taking pups on walks and playing fetch or tug with them. I am always down to cuddle with any furry friend.

“Melody took excellent care of my babies while I was awa.”

About: I have been taking care of pets for 40 years. I have experience with both large and small breeds. I am patient and realize that each pet has it's own personality and needs. I also sit for dogs on deployment which is a pet sitting service for military pets in need while their parents are deployed. I absolutely enjoy being around pets and that shows in my interaction with them, I talk to them and play with them so they are not only getting the attention they need but also using up the extra energy they may have. I will take care of your pet as if it was my own because I realize that they are an integral part of your families and are like children. I work from home so I can be at your pets disposal at all times. I alternate every few hrs of playtime to a rest time so pets aren’t overly stimulated I have a fenced in yard so I allow them to just run off leash and interact with each other or with my two dogs .

“Meleena is great with animals (and people!). She has a lot of knowledge about animals, but even more impressive is her kindness toward them.”

“This is Ashley Sarah's second time sitting for us and she did as wonderfully as the first time. She even noticed a couple of things I forgot to do in my rush to leave and fixed things up. My animals are well-fed and safe! All I can ask for!”

“Always feel reassured when Susan takes care of Bailey. She is very loving and caring!”

About: Hello! I have around 9 years of experience taking care of pets including cats, dogs, snakes, goats, rodents, and fish. With both puppy/kitten experience and senior animal experience i am confident in my skills and above all care for animals big and small. I am experienced with specialized diets as both my senior dog and cat have special dietary needs, and I've handled giving medicine via shots, pills, and pastes. I do have some puppy training experience as well as working breed care/handling. My farm animal expertise is limited but I am confident I can learn and apply my current skills towards caring for you pets. I am a full time student and work part time as well, so my days can get a little hectic. Rest assured, my furry friends are always given every moment of my free time! I love caring for animals and being surrounded by them, so I always make a conscious effort to be with them as much as possible. Of course your furry friends will recieve that too! Meals and proper walks and playtime will always be provided, and I will do my best to fit into any routines of yours that your pet may be adapted to so they don't get stressed from the change. I make sure to strictly follow all rules set out by the pet parents, including being tidy and respectful in the area at all times. I always come alone, you can always be assured I have your pets' happiness and safety in mind. I do not currently have space to board any animals. I also don't mind doing house chores as needed especially plant care, yard cleaning, poop scooping, etc. Just let me know!!

“Our cat is not the sweetest but Blakely is ☺️! She taken really good care of our cranky cat Kitz, even though Kitz mostly hisses at her. She’s very responsive whenever we have questions and sends pictures so we know she’s okay. We’re so happy we found a new cat sitter we can trust. Thank you Blakely!!!”

“Ashley was absolutely amazing!! She came and met our animals before our trip and that definitely helped them feel more comfortable. Even with a slight little hiccup between our dog and cat during the trip she was super informative, quick to act and help best she could, and let us know immediately. I couldn’t have felt more comfortable and safe knowing she was taking care of our fur babies. I will definitely recommend her to everybody! And if we go out of town again I would love to use her again. She was phenomenal!”

About: I adore dogs. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have house broken puppies and taken care of senior dogs and all ages in between. I know how to give medication to dogs, both oral and injections. I love playing with dogs and taking them outside to run around! I used to volunteer at the Humane Society and took care of the dogs there. I also fostered dogs until they could be placed in a good home. I have a part time job with flexible hours so I’m free a lot. I can usually take a new pet sitting job on one day notice. I’ll take very good care of your fur babies! I will feed them, take them out for walks and potty breaks, give treats as allowed and play with them as much as they want. If they let me I’ll snuggle with them too! I also take care of cats and I’ll feed them, scoop litter boxes, give treats as allowed, play with them and snuggle if they let me. I also have a lot of experience with smaller animals like rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, Guinea pigs, and fancy rats! I can feed them, clean their cages and play with them if it’s ok with the owner. I have experience giving oral medication and injections to smaller animals. I can take care of birds and fish as well. I will give your babies loads of attention and affection! We will have fun together! If I’m house sitting I’ll be glad to water plants and bring your mail in if you want. I’ll take pictures of your fur babies every day and send them to you, whether I’m there for a drop in visit or house sitting.

About: I have background in the animal control field where I was an officer and also work for veterinary services within gaston county. Your pet will be treated like family here, animals are a huge part of my life. I have had almost every possible animal, horses, cows, cats, dogs, large and small, chickens, pigs, and even fish. I love them all. I do work 4 days during the week but am home the majority of the time to spend with your furrbabies. They will be let out in the morning before I leave for work on those days and immediately after I've arrived back home. I only work 8 hour days and outside of that I'm home the rest of the time. My yard is not fenced in but i live on a cul de sac, horse pasture and cow pasture and tree farm on 3 sides .. i prefer to walk dogs on a leash while outside ( just in case) but if they seem to be well behaved and trust worthy i may play fetch with them and my frenchie in the back yard , there are only 2 houses on my road so we do have lots of privacy. Your furrbabies will stay inside with me.
