About: I was raised caring for all types of animals, but I have a particular love for dogs and cats! Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets for over 10 years of my life. My experience includes feeding, administering medications, walking, playtime, and overnight care. As an adult, I've cared for my own dogs for the past 5+ years and understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone dependable who will love and care them as much as you do! My schedule is very flexible this summer, allowing me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I'm available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks during both weekdays and weekends. I am happy to adapt to each pet's usual routine and needs! My husband and I have a large fence yard and a home with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable. We also have a friendly male collie/retriever mix who enjoys playing, but he can be easily separated if your dog prefers their own space. I'm comfortable using crates or separate rooms as needed, and I'm happy to arrange a meet-and-greet with my dog to help ensure everyone feels safe and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their normal environment and routines consistent to reduce stress. I'm respectful of your home and able to follow detailed instructions. I'm also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel connected while away. Whether in my home or yours, my goal is to provide a clean and loving environment that feels as close to home as possible for every pet in my care.

“Svenja has by far been the best dog sitter I have ever had. I have been using her for over a year and she is always reliable and flexible with my crazy work schedule. My lab loves her and I Highly recommend her for your next sitter!”

About: I have been caring for my daughter's dog for 10 years including have several dogs of my own throughout the years. I love animals greatly. I work part time and it would be easy for me to adapt my schedule. I am interested in doing this full time. I currently work in the afternoon and evening. I have a large fenced yard and four extra crates available for use. I also have a designated room for guest pups. I will be available to check on them frequently.
“Christina has been with Salt the last week and we will keeping her around for months to come! She is very trustworthy and reliable. It truly relieves my husband and I that Salt can get out during the day. Definitely a worthy investment!”

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—whether that means keeping up with a playful puppy’s energy or giving extra patience and comfort to a senior pet who needs a slower pace. I have experience with pets of all ages, including young animals who are still learning routines like potty training, crate training, and basic commands. I stay consistent with whatever training methods you’re using so your pet doesn’t get confused while you’re away. For senior pets, I understand the importance of gentle care, medication routines, and watching closely for any changes in behavior or comfort. I’m attentive, calm, and always focused on keeping pets safe, happy, and stress-free in their own environment. I’m also big on communication—I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, or just some extra love, I’m here to provide reliable, personalized care every time. I would love to spend my free time with any and all the pets. My off days at work would be perfect for this job! Any pet brought to my home will be treated as well as they deserve to be treated, and same when and if I was to come to anyone’s home! Respect is my biggest manor!
“Once again Chelsea took excellent care of our aged Ms Kitty, sending pictures every day. Ms Kitty doesn't move easily but Chelsea always finds her and gives her attention.”

About: I have been around all types of pets my whole life. Dogs, cats, birds,even horses. I worked at an animal hospital for 2 years in Georgia and learned about handling, as well as giving medications and some grooming. I am a full time teacher at a local elementary school. I have weekends and most holidays off. I am off work and home by 4:15 during the week and around all the time on weekends except for the quick outing for dinner or the grocery store. Your pet is my priority. If you need me to stay with them overnight I will, if your pet needs meds or shots given I will do that too. I will try to keep your pet on the same schedule you have for them. Feeding as you do and water available at all times. Exercise is important just like snuggle times!
“Melissa was such a wonderful help to us as we went out of town! She loved on our Nate-Dogg and he was very well taken care of. We will definitely call on her again.”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 12. I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Biological Sciences with a Pre-Veterinary Medicine Concentration. I also graduated from Tennessee College of Applied Technology as an Assistant Animal Laboratory Technician. With that being, said I have a vast amount of experience on how to care for animals. I am currently working part time, so I have a flexible availability when it comes to caring for your pet(s). Monday-Thursday I am available after 3pm, and Friday-Sunday I have full availability. I usually would let the animal get used to my scent and me being in their space, and then I would care for the dog by feeding them, and taking them to go potty. Then, I would play with them to ensure that they do not get bored and not have separation anxiety.

About: I've had dogs and cat my entire life and loved every single one. I am experienced, loving, firm, and capable. I consider your pets as members of your family who deserve love, care, and structure when you must be away. I currently have a German Shepherd dog, Gustav,d that is my service dog and I trained him with licensed SD trainers. I also have a Belgian Malinois rescue, Mata Hari, who is beginning SD training as well. My cat, Spider Monkey, is a Manx and she rules our house. You can completely trust me to take care of all your pets and their needs when you need help. I currently work as a server/bartender some days and evenings. I will structure my schedule to spend as much time with your pets as possible. I can care for select dogs in my home using a crate for indoor safety, when needed, and keeping them leashed when outdoors. I have two dogs that love playing with other dogs.
About: Growing up, I have always had pets. We have had both dogs and cats that I had to care for since a young age. As I’ve gotten older, I have been watching friends’ pets when they go out of town. In 2019, I made a Facebook post about my dog sitting that caught many people’s attention. I had many responses that led to lots of pet sitting that summer. Every summer since 2019, my schedule has been completely booked up with pet sitting in my area. I have experience with small dogs, big dogs, puppies, older dogs, and cats. I have experience giving both oral and injectable medications. I have spent time volunteering at the Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County, Southern Pines Animal Shelter, and the West Memphis Animal Shelter. I am very comfortable being around both dogs and cats, understanding their body language, and caring for them. I am a social work graduate student in the North MS area. I have an internship 3 days a week and class 2 nights per week. My best availability is Friday-Monday, because I don’t have class or internship on those days. I am unable to bring pets into my home because I have 2 roommates with 4 cats. However, I would love to care for your animals in your home! If your home is accommodating to your pets, then it should be no problem. I also have a car that I can put dogs in to take them to a dog park or to a walking trail.
