House Sitting in Statesboro

About: I’ve loved animals since I could walk and have cared for pets of all sizes for family and friends. My goal is to give every furry friend the same love and attention I’d give my own. From playful puppies to sweet seniors, I enjoy long walks, outdoor time, and making pets feel safe and happy while you’re away. As a college student with mostly online classes, I have a very flexible schedule. Other than a short class block from Monday–Thursday, 11:00–12:30, I’m available throughout the week to give pets my full attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to keep them comfortable in their familiar environment and stick closely to their usual routines. I provide plenty of love, playtime, walks, and attention, while also following any specific feeding, exercise, or medication instructions. My goal is to make pets feel safe, happy, and cared for until their family returns.

“Brooke is the best for providing the care and love to your animals when you can’t be there. She sends notes and pictures of activities and time spent with your pets. Honest and dependable- I would recommend her for anyone that needs long term ( in my case) pet care to give your pets the opportunity to know her. She is loving and knowledgeable- you will know your pets will be taken care of.”

“Chloe spent a whole week at our house watching our dog, she was amazing! She cared so genuinely for our dog, going the extra mile to make him feel relaxed while we were gone. Would highly recommend her for any needs you may have with your dogs!”

“Megan stayed overnight with my two older dogs, one who is very nervous around new people. She was very patient when she met Maggie and it did not take long for her to calm down. The dogs were happy and my home was clean and tidy when I got home. Megan was very professional and I would definitely recommend her!”

“Madeline was amazing! She was gracious enough to come meet my 2 dogs before sitting them and was so kind and loving with them that I trusted her immediately. She took excellent care of my house and the dogs while we were away. We already have another weekend booked with her!”

About: Hey I’m Brooklyn, I’m going to make this short and sweet but info packed! I have grown up with dogs, I currently have an Irish setter named Mac, while also having two French bulldogs at my parents whom I am constantly watching. I have been dog sitting since I was around 10, I am well versed in all types of dogs including breed, temperament, and signal's dogs use. I have taken care of senior and special need dogs, including a beautiful Mastif named Matilda. I am well versed in giving medications/shots to dogs as well as how to help them stand, get up, lay down, and use the restroom while not being able to do so fully by themselves. If I am unfamiliar with how to do something I will be upfront and honest with you and either have you show me how to do said task, or do research! If you are nervous about leaving your dog with someone you do not know let me help! I can meet up prior to you even booking and try to ease your mind. I know it can be scary leaving your dog and I want to help you and your pup feel comfortable! If you dog is aggressive I would be more than will to watch them! Aggressive dogs are not bad dogs, they are scared. I have owned an aggressive dog myself, as well as worked with quite a few. If you have tricks you have found worked for your dog I would love to hear them. If not I have done hours of research, reading, and experience with aggressive dogs. Training, if your dog is in the process of training or needs to learn simple sit and lay down type of commands I would be more than happy to work that in to ensure the best for you and your pup! I am also more than happy to do baths for your pets I’m so excited to get to know your babies! Feel free to reach out if you need more info on a specific topic. I am a college student, I have classes mostly in the morning but very spaced out. My schedule is flexible other than my classes. Sundays I do go to church but if need be I can find my way around that. Dogs are not just dogs, they are family. When in my care your dog will always come first not matter what the situation is. Your home will always be treated with respect and left better than I found it. The dogs needs are extremely important even if it is a ball stuck under the couch! I will listen to what your dog need from you and your dog, I will treat your animal with respect and the upmost care.

“Christina did an excellent job house sitting and keeping our four cats company. Before we left, she read instructions thoroughly and asked questions. She checked in almost every day of our trip with cute pictures and updates. Our cats really seemed to enjoy her company. The house was just as clean when we returned as when we left it. I felt like our cats were in great hands with her. Highly recommended from a helicopter cat mom!”

“Tashi stayed in our home for an overnight visit with two dogs and two cats. She was incredibly polite and patient with my dog who is distrusting of new people. She is a great communicator and I would definitely hire her again!”

“Dawn was absolutely FANTASTIC! We have a mostly blind 10+ year old Golden and a newly adopted 4+ year old Golden/Chow mix. Dawn was everything we had hoped for in a house/dog sitter. She walked the boys often and texted pictures throughout our trip. I called and texted often and she was always available to let me know how our "kids" were doing. We will definitely use Dawn again. It's so nice to be comfortable and relaxed on an extended time away from home when you know your family is being tended to and not having to be locked away in a fenced area. Thanks Dawn! Betty, TJ, Wiley & Bailey”

About: I have taken care of dogs ranging from 10 pounds to 120 pounds, and love each and every one of them. I also am able to take care of puppies and kittens. The youngest kitten i’ve taken care was orphaned at birth. I am currently a student at Georgia Southern, but I only go to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with an 4 hour break in the middle of the day. I am to do just about anything to keep your pet as happy and safe as can be. I can administer medication, take them on walks, play for countless hours, and anything else you could think of.

“Hannah was great!! We set up a meet and greet to make sure her and Nala got along and that went perfectly. She even showed up earlier than she needed to!! The whole time she was watching Nala she kept me updated and sent photos which made me feel better about not being at home with my dog. Will definitely use her again!!”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for over 4 years, caring for pets like they’re my own. One of my regular clients is the woman who does my hair and lashes—she trusts me so much, I’m the only person she asks to watch her dogs. I’ve also helped friends, family, and neighbors by walking, feeding, and bathing pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’m dependable, gentle, and always happy to follow special care instructions to keep pets happy and safe. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule. I only have one in-person class Tuesday–Thursday for a few hours, so I’m free most days and weekends to care for your pets. I’ll have plenty of time to walk, play, and keep them company throughout the week. I prefer to dog sit in the client’s home, as I live in an apartment with roommates. This allows your pet to stay in their familiar environment, which helps reduce stress. I will ensure they are cared for in a safe, loving atmosphere, with plenty of attention and affection.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages mainly but I have experience with most animals! I also work at a pet boarding facility! I do drop by’s, walks, and overnight stay! I am flexible and can work with you! I am a student at Georgia Southern, so I do have class on certain days of the week. As of the fall, i have free days on weekends, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I can crate your pup and can handle a leash if needed! People trust me to sleep overnight with their pets and I am more than happy to.

“Great job.”

About: I’ve been around dogs nearly my whole life and truly understand what it means to care for them at every stage. I’ve dog sat for friends and neighbors for years and currently care for my 8 year old yellow lab Finley. I’ve raised her since she was 8 weeks old. I bring not only experience, but also patience, reliability, and a genuine love for animals. I currently work full time at Georgia Southern with Eagle Dinning Services Sunday-Thursdays 12:30-9pm. Im available for morning walks. Friday-Saturday I am available all day. In my home I have two dogs currently Gotham my girlfriend’s puppy is crated everyday while we are gone and Finley my 8 year old yellow lab is not crated. When taking care of your pet I will follow what ever guidelines you give me for your pet.

“Maizee is a great dog sitter! Our dogs loved her. She kept our two very high energy dogs exercised and happy while checking in with us regularly to update us and ask thoughtful questions to ensure their comfort while we were away. We would definitely recommend her.”

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.

“Katherine did a great job of taking care of our young puppies while we were away. She gave them needed meds, gave them lots of attention and left our house neat and tidy. I will definitely ask her to watch our pups again.”

Donna L.

“Katie was absolutely amazing with my dogs! She played with them, took them on walks, snuggled with them, and kept me in the loop with lots of pictures and updates. I felt so at ease knowing they were in such caring hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and responsible pet sitter!”
