Cat Sitting in Shoals

“Alex was absolutely wonderful! He came out to meet the cats beforehand and really listened to all of the information and spent time getting to know the kitties. He also read through and followed my written directions which are pretty extensive. He has top notch written communication skills. I generally got a several paragraph update on the cats each day, long with lots of daily pictures, and the info he sent was always very understandable and thorough. Alex couldn’t do mornings, so I had other people filling in. One of them accidentally locked the cat in a room that was supposed to be kept closed. Alex noticed, even though this particular cat will not come out to see anyone ever, and expressed his concern to me That he didn’t notice her food was being eaten. He then spent quite a while searching for the cat and managed to find her, and carry her out, even though she was really scared. He cleaned up the mess she made, and she must’ve been pretty happy with him because he saw her every day after that. He even left notes for the other sitters as needed if things were not going well. He took care of plants and many other things on top of that, and the house was clean and spotless, with pictures of the water bowl, litter boxes, and food dishes every day. I feel totally comfortable leaving my cats in his care anytime!”

“Nina did an incredible job with our cats- our kitten and adult were still unable to be left alone together but she did an excellent job giving them some supervised time together and excellent care”

“Natalie is AMAZING! She watched my cats while I was away on vacation for quite a bit of time and completely soothed any anxiety I had about them being alone for a month! She made sure they had quality time with her and even had her daughter play with them some days, which made me incredibly happy as my babies often get lonely when I leave. 10/10 would recommend, and I will be having her watch them again as I travel often!”

She kept us well informed of her drop in visits and although our neurotic cats didn't come out while here, she provided photos showing cleaned out liyter box along with filled water and food dishes.

I am scheduling her for our trip to England in November. Thank you, thank you, thank you, CJ! You made our trip, worry free!❤️”

“Kristin was wonderful! I have a sassy calico kitty and she was patient and kind with her! By about the 5th day she started warming up to Kristin so I know she was good with her! I felt very comfortable with Kristin caring for her and didn’t worry about my baby while I was gone! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I was previously a manager at a doggy daycare in Chicago, where I worked hands-on with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. During my time there, I gained valuable insights into dog behavior from our top trainers. My responsibilities included socializing puppies, administering medication to senior dogs, providing 20-minute relief walks throughout the day, and preparing individualized meals. After leaving the daycare, my passion for understanding canine behavior deepened, and I began pursuing professional training. I earned my dog training certification through PetSmart, where I later taught group classes. I led a variety of courses, including: • Puppy Class – covering potty training, crate training, predicting behavior, and basic commands • Intermediate Class – focusing on leash walking, stays, and environmental cues • Trick Class – teaching fun and engaging behaviors • Advanced/CGC Prep – preparing dogs and owners for the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test I taught these classes for a year before moving to North Carolina, where I now live on a farm and continue my education as a trainer. I’ve worked with a wide range of dogs, including blind dogs, flood and lab rescues, German Shepherds, Dobermans, mixed breeds, and more. I primarily use positive reinforcement methods but am currently expanding into balanced training to better serve dogs with a variety of needs. I'm currently just working part time on the weekends and have full availability: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday to give your furry friend all the love and attention they need. Will follow pets normal routine ex. feeding, walking, playtime. I personally don't mind animals on furniture but will follow whatever rules the pet is used too.

“My first time using Rover and Aubrey was an ideal sitter for Plum! She communicated well with me and enjoyed getting to know my canine baby. I will definitely book more daycare visits with Aubrey!”

“Emily was wonderful! We needed someone to let our dog out for a week with very short notice, and thankfully Emily was available. She went above and beyond for our dog Cooper and we are so thankful to have found Emily! We will definitely be using her in the future.”

I love walking into a clients home and the pups are always so excited to see their walking buddy!

I could do some evening drop ins or strolls around the neighborhood to burn some energy and get some exercise! I am unavailable on weekends Caring for a clients pet I always take very serious! I treat the pup like it's my own! Keeping the pet away from high traffic areas and always keeping a secure hold on the leash! I always bring some water with us on a walk and always keep an eye out for anything that could cause harm or anything that may make the pet feel uneasy!

About: Hi my name is Berenise. I have always loved cats and dogs, I also have compassion for small animals as well. I have experience from taking care of my own pets and handling pets from other service’s along with taking them on walks and feeding. I can assure you that your fur babies will get the same love I give to my own pets. I am a full time worker during mornings and after 3:00 I am very much available to take care of your pets, go for afternoon walks or stay overnight to watch your pup. My dogs are very spoiled at home, they get special food and take trips to the park to run in the fenced in baseball field and get lots of love and cuddles.

About: With dogs and cats as part of my family since childhood, I’ve developed a deep love and understanding for our furry friends. I’ve happily pet sat and dog walked many times, making sure each pet feels cared for and cherished. My experience as a kennel assistant at a busy boarding facility taught me valuable skills in pet care and medical treatment, ensuring every animal’s health and happiness. I also worked at a rescue, where I cared for dogs and cats of various breeds—feeding, grooming, and supporting those who had faced tough times, helping them on their journey to loving furever homes. Whether it’s dog walking, cat and dog sitting, or quick check-ins, I bring passion, kindness, and plenty of experience to every visit, making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and joyful while you’re away. I'm currently on summer break from college so I would be available during the week from 9am-7pm. And for long-term and weekend sittings with notice. When caring for pets in my client’s home, safety, trust, and environment are my top priorities. Having grown up with dogs and cats, and with hands-on experience working in a kennel and animal rescue, I understand the importance of creating a calm, secure space where pets feel comfortable and loved. I always follow each pet’s unique routines, including feeding, walking, and playtime, to maintain their familiar environment and reduce stress. My background in medical care and rescue taught me to be attentive to any health needs or behavioral cues, ensuring prompt and gentle responses. Building trust comes naturally by being consistent, patient, and respectful of each pet’s personality—whether it’s a playful kitten or a senior dog. I treat every home as if it were my care while providing compassionate care that keeps pets safe, happy, and relaxed while their family is away.
