Cat Sitting in Shelby

“Susanna and her husband are the epitome of great pet sitters. We left very last minute for a family emergency and they both took on the job and did great at it also. Going above and beyond to make sure my house was cared for while we were gone when that wasn’t part of the job description. Definitely rebooking with her for our next family vacation. Thank you guys!”

“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!”

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

About: Hi, I’m Jessie! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a big heart and a passion for caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I’ve grown up surrounded by animals—everything from dogs and cats to reptiles, fish, and hamsters. I have experience pet sitting for dogs/cats of all breeds and sizes, and I pride myself on making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so I always keep you in the loop with regular updates, pictures, and texts. Whether it's belly rubs, playtime, or just some quiet cuddles, I’ve got your pets covered! I am in between jobs so have flexible availability. I structure my days around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they have consistent walks, meals, playtime, and lots of love. I want to ensure the process is as stress-agree as possible. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, walked or exercised regularly, and given plenty of attention, love, and playtime.

“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. 👍”

“Sarah did drop-ins for our 2 cats during a six day vacation. She was prompt, always on time, and followed instructions perfectly! We appreciated her communication and rover cards while we were away. We would highly recommend her and would have her as our sitter again!”

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 .

“Melody was so professional! I came back from a vacation and my cat was healthy and happy. Thanks so much Melody for taking care of her while I was away. 10/10 recommend.”

“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!”

“Hannah is wonderful! Had to book last minute bc of some separation anxiety issues that were coming up with our newly adopted puppy and she was super accommodating. She followed the instructions for our quirky boy so he could have some enrichment during the day and wouldn’t destroy our room. She is communicative and left us a nice update every day with pictures, which we love.”

“María was the best sitter I could’ve ever asked for! She was so sweet and cared for my cat so well! I was so grateful for her that she was able to take care of her so last minute, but even more grateful for how much love she gave my cat while she was in her care! She sent me pics the entire weekend I was gone and was sooo accommodating in the drop off/pick up process, she made it so easy! When I dropped my cat off, she was scared to be in a new environment but María held her and loved on her till she knew she was comfortable, and I am eternally grateful for that! I felt so comfortable leaving my cat in her care and I will definitely only be booking with María in the future from now on! I highly recommend her for all of your pet care needs!”

“Ashley was absolutely amazing! Our pup adored her and looked forward to every visit. She was so accommodating we added an extra day. She sent tons of pictures, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We don’t leave him often, but knowing he was safe, happy, and cared for made all the difference. The comfort and reassurance Ashley provided were truly invaluable.”
