“Crystal is awesome, always flexible and timely. She does a great job with the Rover card explaining what the animals did or she did with her visit and she takes plenty of pictures. 10/10 highly recommend!”
“Samantha was so wonderful, and she took excellent care of our cats and guinea pigs while we were out of town. Great, consistent updates. I felt very safe knowing they were in good hands!”
“Kera was AMAZING! She kept us up to date and was punctual for every visit at our home with our fur baby! Having peace of mind that your fur baby is being taken care of while you are away is everything and Kera is that. If you are looking for someone trusting, professional, and over all kind, look no further because you found that person! Kera has been the best sitter! If you didn’t pick up what I was putting down yet, I highly recommend Kera!”
About: What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is my comprehensive understanding of diverse pet needs, coupled with a genuine passion for their well-being that extends beyond basic care. Many sitters offer walks and feedings, but my approach is deeply rooted in providing specialized, individualized care that addresses both their physical and mental health. For instance, my experience with puppy care goes beyond house-training; I'm adept at positive reinforcement techniques, early socialization, and laying the groundwork for basic obedience, helping them develop into well-adjusted adults. When it comes to senior care, I understand the unique challenges that come with aging pets – from administering multiple medications on strict schedules, to recognizing subtle signs of discomfort, to providing gentle, supportive mobility assistance for those with arthritis or limited movement. I'm also highly experienced with pets with special medical needs, including administering injections, managing dietary restrictions for allergies or illnesses, and closely monitoring for any changes in their condition. My background as an avid cleaner means your home will be just as tidy as you left it, and my extensive supply of extra blankets, toys, food, and treats ensures I'm always prepared for any unexpected need or simply to offer a little extra comfort and fun. Ultimately, it's my proactive, attentive, and deeply compassionate approach to every pet's unique personality and requirements that provides true peace of mind for their owners. Even with a packed schedule of classes and a part-time job, incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine is a non-negotiable part of my life. It's a constant balancing act, starting with early morning walks and feedings before I head to campus or work. Throughout the day, I'm always mindful of their needs, whether it's a quick pit stop home between lectures for a potty break or making sure they have enough food and fresh water. Evenings are dedicated to quality time – longer walks, playtime, and settling down together while I tackle homework. Weekends are when I can truly spoil them with extended adventures to the park or extra-long cuddle sessions. It takes planning and effort, but the joy and companionship my pets bring into my life make every moment of that routine completely worthwhile. When pets stay with me, my focus is always on providing a safe, trustworthy, and enriching environment that feels like a second home. I go beyond the basics, conducting thorough safety checks to eliminate hazards, maintaining a pristine and pet-friendly clean home, and being fully prepared for any emergencies with a well-stocked pet first-aid kit. Building trust is key, so I strictly follow their established routines for feeding and medication, and keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages, ensuring peace of mind. Beyond safety and trust, I create an enriching environment filled with daily walks tailored to their energy, engaging playtime with a variety of toys, and mental stimulation through puzzle games or new experiences. I always have a supply of extra blankets, food, and treats on hand, and I'm meticulous about their grooming and any necessary medical care. Ultimately, my aim is to make their stay as comfortable, happy, and stimulating as possible, treating them with the same love and attention they receive from their own families.
“I am so grateful that Rai was our sitter while we were out of town. Rai kept our girls company, took time to make our skeptical kitty feel more comfortable, sent us pictures and updates, and on top of that, kept an eye on our home. Rai really went above and beyond and I could never recommend another sitter more highly!”
About: I fell in love with rescuing animals at a young age and haven’t stopped since! I’ve dealt with both cute little puppies and sweet ole’ seniors and get along with any! I’m currently working part-time. I can play with your kitties/pups from anytime between 9-4 Monday-Thursday! This might differ based on what holiday it is or vacations! I am able to offer ample time to let you know when! I keep my kittens inside and they have a fenced in backyard to go outside and potty. I do not keep them inside kennels/rooms when I go away, I will either make sure they use the bathroom before I leave or set down a few puppy pads as we don’t like the linger smell of litter boxes. I am more than okay with any of the above and I will agree and obey any requirements. We feed cats at certain times of day and I can follow schedules as I have my own.
About: My name is Taylor. My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet sitting. I have been a dog walker/dog sitter and have been boarding dogs for 5+ years. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your fur babies while you are away! I am a stay at home momma currently. We can't wait to meet you and your pets 🐶🐱🐾 I am open to most times, I am here to help you while you are away, I am willing to meet and get your fur baby! 🐾 I am willing to do whatever is needed to make your pets feel comfortable, you let me know their needs and I’ll meet them, I want them to feel at home when they are away from you. ❤️
About: Caring for animals is truly my passion , since i was a child ive always loved animals of all shapes and sizes. I am a certified ER Veterinary assistant from New York who will give your babies all the love and attention that they deserve!! I spent 2 years in a high paced 24hr emergency room. I am capable of simple command training, giving medications, giving baths, nail trims, feedings , play time, etc. I truly enjoy dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes, and i am not afraid to reprimand/redirect properly as i am not scared off easily. (If you have an escape artist it will not happen on my watch lol) I will ensure a safe interaction for everybody, if i am entering your home for the first time i will most likely bring treats just to gain trust. (Please lmk if they have any allergies /food aggression or restrictions) Also i live in a dog-friendly apartment complex with plenty of grass for them to enjoy nearby. (if boarding in my home they must be okay with cats)
About: I have cared for dogs all of my life. From puppy stage to elder care. They are not just our pets, they are our children. Currently working full time - but looking to adjust my work schedule or find a different full time job. I would love to care for your fur child! I have a fenced in yard, but pet care at my house is not offered. I would love to provide pet care at your residence.
“Cheryl watched our cat while we left her alone for the first time, and she gave us peace of mind while we were away. I hope she’s available to watch her again during our next trip!”
About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I have some experience in training dogs and puppies. And my family has trusted me numerous of times to watch after and bathe their pets. Pet sitting fits in my schedule as I’m looking for work right now, I’ll be able to come by and take the time your pet needs to insure he or she is safe and went outside. In my home my dogs are on leashes when outside and walked more than I can count. I let them free roam inside until it’s feeding time. Once it’s feeding time they go to their designated areas and eat. If you select me for my services I’ll make sure to follow your rules you have in place and treat your pet as one of my own.
“Tara was fantastic with our cat Nugget! Communication was great, and she sent us pictures every visit. She was also kind enough to bring in a package that was delivered and make sure our trash can was pulled away from the curb after trash day. Highly recommend!”
About: I've been working at an Animal Hospital's boarding facility for a year now and I have been relied on by friends and family to care for their pets when needed since I was 16. I am a full time college student (in Statesboro) and a part-time employee (in Pooler) as of right now. I will be able to provide house sitting services in Statesboro during the school year on weekdays, and then in Pooler on the weekends and while school is not in session. While sitting in your home, I will be sure to keep your home tidy and safe for your fur baby(ies)! I can provide potty breaks and playtime throughout the night, and periodic breaks (every 4-8 hours) throughout the day,,, if I have class/work!
About: I have experience with kittens, cats, puppies, seniors, and reactive dogs. Since I was young I was the neighborhood pet sitter/walker and as an adult I have always had dogs and cats of my own. I am a stay at home mom looking to stay active and get out of the house. Being able to make sure some pets won’t be too lonely during the day would be amazing!! I would love to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home! If needed I have space at my home but would need to do a meet and greet with my animals.
