Dog Sitting in Sherrills Ford

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was five years old, and pets have been a huge part of my life ever since. Over the years, I’ve had both dogs and cats, which has given me a deep understanding of their unique personalities and needs. I have hands-on experience with administering medications and caring for pets with medical conditions — including my own dog, who required special attention after surgery and while healing from a broken leg. I know how important it is to be patient, gentle, and attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. As a registered nurse, I work three days a week and only accept pet care bookings on my days off to ensure your pet gets my full, undivided attention. When I’m with your pet, they’re my top priority — whether that means walks, playtime, medication, or just lots of love and cuddles. I plan my schedule carefully so I can give each pet the dedicated care they deserve. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood with plenty of space for safe, enjoyable walks and outdoor play. While my yard is not fenced in, all outdoor time is fully supervised to ensure your pet’s safety. Inside, my spacious three-story home gives pets plenty of room to explore and relax. I use baby gates to safely manage movement between floors and create secure areas for rest or play. I do not accept aggressive pets, as safety and comfort—for both your pet and mine—are my top priorities. Your pet will be in a calm, loving environment where they can feel right at home.

About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life - from dogs of all breeds to guineas pigs and cats. Growing up, I eagerly took part in caring for them and have gained a lot of knowledge and experience in pet care. I have also provided pet sitting/walking services to friends and family. Fun fact: I loved animals of all kinds so much as a child, that I became a vegetarian at 13 years old! And I have been one now for over 15 years! I have a very flexible schedule and more than happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s unique needs, routines, and preferences to ensure they are comfortable and cared for! When caring for your pet in your home, I prioritize their safety, respect your space (and theirs), and strive to create a calm, trustworthy environment where your pets feel secure and loved.

About: I’ve always been around pets as they have always given me a sense of purpose. The unconditional love they give is unmatched in the world we live in. The feeling I get to watch the wag of a tail or the purrrrr of a kitty is satisfying and fulfilling. Being an empty nest mom to my puppies is awesome. Knowing that we all have lives, yet want the best for our fur babies is where I found my niche. Giving them what you want to give them but can’t because of responsibilities is where I am able to make a difference for YOU and them. It’s enjoyment for me and piece of mind for you knowing that they are getting the BEST care and attention when you can’t be there As mentioned, being an empty nester and not having nearly as much mom related responsibilities, caring for pets is an everyday desire. I am flexible and available most times. I do not however embark in overnight sitting I will care for pets as if they are MY OWN and to the guidelines of the pet owner. My pets are disciplined and love to play and cuddle. I’ll care for all fur babies the same way as I do my own.

About: Between us both we have had our own dogs and taken care of other dogs for around 40 years. We have had pets and service animals and we love all animals of all sizes. We have one of our own who FUR sure keeps us entertained! If you need overnight care please message us to discuss in FURthur detail! We have extremely flexible schedules as James is retired and I work part time, and can set my schedule based on my needs for the week. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you do happen to need same day care, as we may be able to accommodate! We feel that care is multifaceted, and it is important that animals are stimulated physically, mentally and emotionally! Each fur baby is unique and may have different needs. We will work with you to find out what your fur baby needs from us.

“Sarah is absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond by checking in on both of my dogs, even though she was only required to check on one. It really shows her dedication and love for animals. My pups were so happy and well cared for, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

About: I have been caring for animals my whole life. Dogs, cats, and horses particularly. I have lots of experience caring for all ages, I love all breeds. I also can care for puppies or kittens, give medications, and handle all shapes and sizes. I've worked in dog and cat boarding for a year and currently work in dog and cat rescue. I work 4 days a week, usually 9 hour shifts. I don't always have weekends off, my schedule is spread throughout the week. Normally I will have Sundays and Mondays off work and am able to come visit your pets more often throughout the day than on days that I work. However, I can sit overnights, walk dogs in my time off, and possibly visit at lunchtime if close enough to my work. I enjoy spending time with pets in their homes, keeping them company while their humans are away. I love to walk, sit outside with them, snuggle, and am perfectly happy to look after mail and houseplants and things like that as well.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was five, so taking care of animals has always just felt natural to me. I started pet sitting for friends and family when I was around fifteen, and it’s something I’ve always genuinely loved doing. Every pet has their own little personality, and I love getting the opportunity to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their people are away. Whether they need lots of playtime, extra cuddles, or just someone calm to keep them company, I’ll always treat them like my own. Spending time with animals is one of the best parts of my day. I’m self-employed so I have a flexible schedule and am able to give pets the attention they need without feeling rushed. Whether it’s dropping in for a visit or keeping them company throughout the day, I always make sure they get lots of love, playtime, and care. Pet care easily fits into my routine because it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to! When I’m taking care of pets, I focus on making everything feel peaceful and easy for them. I pay close attention to their routines and make sure they feel comfortable in their space, whether it’s their home or mine. I’m super mindful of safety, always double-checking things like gates, food instructions, and walk setups. I keep things clean, calm, and full of love so your pet feels secure and cared for the entire time you’re gone.
