Pet Sitting in South Effingham

“Jennifer has a heart for animals and did a good job caring for my bunnies. She left their pens super clean which was definitely going above and beyond! She was also willing to do an extra check on them when I was concerned for them. She asked good questions about their care and spent a lot of time with them.”

“Heather was so sweet and good with our Selkie! Would absolutely book her again!”

“We are so thankful we found Melissa on Rover! She was undeterred by our dog’s initial excessive barking and excitability. She was very responsive to messages and when our schedule wasn’t predictable she was understanding and flexible. She was extremely generous with her time and attention to our pup and truly treated him like he was her own. She left a light on for us when we were expecting to be home after dark. It’s clear she loves caring for dogs and helping their owners!”

“Hilda was great with our anxious dog, by taking her for a nice long walk and providing a calm environment. Communication is fantastic. The house was in perfect order (better than we left it). We recommend Hilda!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 13 years ,I love to work with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I personally own 3 American bully’s so have a lot of experience with large dog breeds. I can take your dog/s for walks , feed them ,do drop in visits or play with them. I have a small farm so have experience tending to rabbits, cats ,chickens,pigs, goats and chinchillas I work part time and am available weekdays / nights and weekends, i am available for overnights or early morning pick up / drop off I can come to you and take your dog/s for walks or playtime in your yard or neighborhood as well as taking them to hiking trails, parks or just out for a little socializing (depending on the dog) I have dogs that I can bring if your fur baby needs a playmate as well. I also offer daycare and boarding in my home, I don’t currently have a fence up but we are adding one in the spring. I have plenty of room for inside play for the dogs and go on multiple walks a day with them. I do have personal dogs but I can have it so they are separated if your dog doesn’t do well with others.

“Kaden visited my pup two times over the course of a weekend and kept me in the loop with pictures and frequent updates! We were very happy with our experience! Thanks again!”

About: Honest, Experienced, Reliable pet sitting and care. We take great pride in forming a bond with each pet we take care of. This is something that we love doing and will love yours like our own. As an added bonus you should get a few great photos of your favorite creature! We have taken care of Dogs, Cats, Parrots, Turtles, Fish, Chickens, Ducks, Goats, Pigs, Horses, worms, snails, etc. If you have some fun and interesting animals we would love to come, meet you and them, and take care of them while you are out of town, or just at work! We welcome pets that love to snuggle in bed, elderly pets, as well as difficult and anxious pets. Sometimes our posted rates don’t meet your special needs pets, and appreciate your patience in the negotiation process. You will get the best available and individualized care of your pets in our home, or yours. Daily updates along with photos and videos of your pet, and have the peace of mind they are being loved and cared for just like you would at your own home. We welcome training opportunities, and can continue treat and/or clicker training and potty training as well. My husband worked at a local Donkey rescue and I have been rescuing Strays since 1985. We both just love and care for animals. The nitty gritty details: We only watch pets from 1 family at a time. This lessens the stress on them, and us, and allows us to give them the BEST care possible. This also costs a bit more. Our time is valuable, as we know yours does as well. While we are capable of hosting multiple pets, we choose to focus our time and care on your families pets 1 at a time. We do require a meet and greet, and sometimes a “trial run” for certain breeds, elderly pets, or pets we will be watching for over 2 days. In most circumstances this is NOT required, but we do want to meet those who are known to have separation anxiety, barking issues, food aggression or aggression in general, have high energy needs, special diets and medications and any pet that doesn’t do well with strangers. Day care pets during the week do need to be fairly well mannered, and not have barking and/or major anxiety issues. Drop off before 8:00am and Pick-Ups after 8:00pm will be charged an additional $10 per hour. Pets not picked up within 15 minutes of the scheduled pick up window will be charged an additional $20/hr. I currently work full time remote, so will have plenty of time to play and care for your pets! We have a regular schedule of play time, including walking or outdoor time every 2-4 hours for 15-30 minutes. We have a fully fenced backyard, and ALWAYS leash ALL pets when outside our yard. We have had several “runners”, corgis and cats that want to bolt for the first sign of freedom… or squirrels/birds etc. We take great caution to make sure your pet is safe at ALL times.

“Heidi is a blessing. She helped us out last minute & the dogs loved her! We will keep her in our back pocket for the future, for sure. Thank you Heidi 🫶🏽”

About: I’ve had cats my whole life and a little yorkie who is now with my mom. My goal is to help provide a safe and calm environment for your fur babies and give you a peace of mind that they are being given the best service possible. I work overnights so I have availability in the mornings 7:30AM-11AM on weekdays work best for me. With notice I may be able to make an exception. Let me know what your pets needs are and I will do everything I can to make them not only comfortable but feel safe with every visit.

About: I’m a aspiring dog trainer with german shepherd Hyde and I’ve had experience within the past 4 years with my own personal dog Peach and our late pup Lily as well. I spend the majority of my time with dogs either at work where I train day school dogs or walking my own dogs on whatever trails I can find. I’m pretty much walking my own dogs whenever I have free time during the day which is often. I work afternoons into nights learning and training. So I’m always around with my personal dogs at different trials or fields :) Safety is my first priority for any dog I have around. My car has a crash tested crate strapped down as well as a seat belt for dogs who prefer to be passenger. I keep spare leashes and muzzles in the car too if necessary.

About: I've taken care of dogs sense they were pups to seniors. I love dogs as family and I'll take of yours as if they were my own. As a dedicated pet lover and stay-at-home mom, I’m here for your furry friends every day of the week, including some weekends. Your pets are my priority, whenever they need me. I have a decent sized yard with plenty of space for roaming around, my home is safe with a family oriented and dog friendly environment, I make sure to maintain the safety of your furbabies in mind, and I have two friendly and loving dogs.

“Miranda was fantastic! Quick, professional communication and the pups LOVED her! She sent great photos and updates which made me feel very secure. 10/10!”

About: Hey-there, my name is Faith and I've provided care for my neighbor's animals while they have been away for the last 6 years and have grown up taking care of my family's animals. From pet sitting, long or short walks, baths, and grooming. Had an internship at an animal welfare clinic taking care of various animals such as cats, dogs, fish, and birds that I enjoyed immensely. And I am in vet tech school currently to get my degree! Any specific requests for your beloved pets? Let me know! I allow them on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to. I always keep the water bowl full and pets happy and healthy. I do board only one family pack at a time. I’ll even give them a bath if you want! Just bring their shampoo if they have sensitive skin! Dogs must be friendly with all people. Daily walks are always available. I am passionate and serious about your animal's well-being and if they're enjoying their experience. I'm available Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Sat, Sun and all hours to look after your beloved pets, whether that be overnight or not. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have a college classes from 7:30-1pm. Daycare drop off and pickup hours are between 7 am and 8 pm. (Though if you talk with me, things come up sometimes, I understand that so I’m very flexible.) Any time after 8 pm would need to be booked as boarding and pickup for the following morning. I offer extended stays as well. IMPORTANT: I do not do repeat weekly care at my residence. I am willing if you are located close to do it at your our home if that's something you are comfortable with. Let me know your thoughts! I currently have 4 spoiled cats in my home haha. I hope they could keep your dogs/pets company as they are very friendly. I have a medium-sized backyard that my neighbor's dogs love to play fetch in and run around I'm sure yours will too :) I have lived in the area for 4 years now so I know all the nicest parks and trails to take your dog on if they want to get a little bit of exercise.
