Pet Sitting in Taylorsville

About: Animals have been a constant part of my life — I grew up with both dogs and cats, and I’ve continued caring for them throughout my adult life. Because of that, I understand the little things that make each pet unique: the routines they rely on, the quirks that make them who they are, and the kind of attention that helps them feel safe and loved. When I’m walking your dog or stopping in for a visit, I bring that same lifelong experience and patience. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies who need structure to senior pets who move at a slower pace. I’m also attentive to shy or anxious pets and take the time to earn their trust. What sets me apart is how personally I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pet. I treat your animals the way I treat my own — with consistency, kindness, and genuine care. My goal is simple: when you’re away, your pet still feels at home. As an educator and high school football coach, I’m used to balancing responsibilities, managing time well, and showing up consistently for the people who depend on me. That same reliability carries over into the way I care for pets. With summer approaching, my schedule becomes even more flexible, giving me plenty of time for regular walks, drop‑in visits, and consistent routines for your pets. Even during the school year, my afternoons, evenings, and weekends are open, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care naturally into my week. Because I’ve always had dogs and cats of my own — both growing up and now in my adult life — caring for animals is already part of my daily rhythm. Whether it’s early‑morning walks, midday check‑ins, or evening visits, I’m able to give each pet the attention, structure, and comfort they’re used to. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and stress‑free as possible. I know how much comfort pets get from being in their own space, so I make sure everything I do matches the rhythm they’re used to. I follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, walk times, medications, crate routines, and any little quirks that matter to your dog or cat. I take the time to learn their personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and slow to warm up, or somewhere in between. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and structure so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. Because I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, both growing up and now as an adult, I’m comfortable handling all kinds of needs: puppy energy, senior care, anxious pets, or those who just want someone to sit nearby and keep them company. I also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Our dogs really like Meaghan. She’s reliable, knowledgeable, and sends great pictures with every drop in. We trust our fur babies are safe in Meaghans care and will continue to book her!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. I currently have 4 dogs and an umbrella cockatoo! I love all animals big and small! I especially love large breed dogs! I’m currently looking for a position in animal care and am looking for experience to achieve that. I have open availability currently. I’m available for house sitting, check in visits or walking services. I treat all pets like they’re my own! I understand how to interact with new pets and am aware not all pets will want contact. I enjoy sticking to a routine. I’m well versed in giving medication to dogs and keeping to a schedule if needed.

“Ethan is flexible and great with the dogs!”

About: I am a very active person and will keep energetic pets busy. I also have experience with caring for older dogs and making sure they are well taken care of and have everything they need. I have experience in keeping up with medication needs of dogs and ensuring they have all their necessary vitamins. I am currently going to college at KSU for mechanical engineering. In my free time I would love to care for your pets. I have a lot of time outside of school and feel that pet sitting is a great way to fill this time. I have had pets throughout my life that I watched and cared for. I made sure they were well taken care of and always had everything they needed. I have also taken care of other friends and family pets and always had a positive experience.

About: I’ve taken care of 6+ litters of puppies, the largest being 10 pups! I have cared for pets of all shapes and sizes from bearded dragons to Great Danes! I currently work part time so i have plenty of time to play with your pets! I can house sit whenever I’m not booked, and quick visits will usually be around 8 am and 8 pm. Pet care is entirely up to the owners! If there are specific instructions to pet care let me know and I’ll do my best to cater to your pets needs. I can crate pets if preferred as well.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and caring for pets is something I truly love. I have over 10 years of experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I’ve dog-sat many times for friends and families, including caring for multiple pets in one home for weeks at a time (3 dogs and 4 cats). I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and keeping pets on their normal routines so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I also have experience with senior and special-needs pets. I once cared for an elderly German Shepherd whose back legs no longer worked. I helped with mobility, hygiene, feeding, and cleanup, and made sure she stayed comfortable and loved. This experience taught me patience, compassion, and how important gentle care is for older pets. I treat every pet like my own and always aim to give pet parents peace of mind through reliable, attentive care. I work part-time at a restaurant, so my schedule is very flexible. On days I am not working, I am available to stay with pets all day and provide overnight care. On the days that I do work, my shifts are typically about 5 hours long, which still allows me time to care for pets before and after work. If I am scheduled for a double shift, I have a 1-hour break in between, which I can use to check in on pets, walk them, and make sure they are comfortable and cared for. I always prioritize making sure pets are not left alone for long periods and maintain a consistent care routine. When caring for pets, my top priority is creating a safe, calm, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and house rules to ensure consistency for the pet. I always make sure doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye on pets during walks or playtime, and maintain a clean environment including food areas and litter boxes. I take time to build trust with each pet at their own pace, especially those who may be shy or anxious. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and provide dependable, attentive care so owners can feel completely at ease while they’re away.

I have a deep love for animals and bugs. Most recently I’ve helped handle and raise puppies!! While I understand how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pets at home while you’re away, pet-sitters like me are here to monitor your pets and provide them the detailed care they deserve in the meantime. Your pets deserve the patience, attention to detail, and unconditional love I'm looking to help provide. I promise to take special care of your sweet furry family members! ♡ My schedule is open! Rover is my priority at this time. There is plenty of room in my schedule so I can take special care of your fur babies! Every morning I make sure my pets have fresh water, and then we get the zoomies out with some exercise! All of the animals in my house eat at specified times, some twice a day. I am sensitive to their needs and do notice as their behavior shifts day-to-day.

“Ashley was amazing. She went above and beyond. The first day she watched our dog he had a little bit of anxiety and she took her time and made him feel safe and loved. This was our first time leaving our dog with someone and Ashley made US and Declan feel so much less stressed. I would book her again and recommend her to anyone.”

About: I have grown up around dogs and cats all my life. I love all furry friends and have always felt an extreme love for all sorta of animals. I have always been the first to volunteer to babysit any friend’s or neighbor’s dogs and have near professional experience with caring for them. I also volunteer at the Macon Animal Shelter weekly. I am very punctual and detail oriented. I know how much pets mean to people and will treat yours like it’s my own! I am currently at Mercer University on my last year. As a senior, I have a lot of free time during the week and weekend. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I am free from 9am -5pm. I am also available for home-sitting overnight, however might need a few hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays for class. I have no pets at my house in Macon (since I am in school) but I do have 2 dogs and 4 cats back home. I have a pretty big backyard and my dogs love to be out and about. They stick to a pretty consistent food diet. I am great at following directions and am quick at learning the habits of pets. I would love to have the opportunity to get to know you and your pets!

About: Leaving your babies is the hardest thing to do and I wanna put you at ease knowing I actually care about them. I will provide them the type of care you would treat them with yourself. All fur babies are important! I have had all types of pets growing up from geckos & hamsters to your normal dogs & cats. I currently have a 9 year old Yorkie-Poo (MayMay) and two cats that are a year old. They are my children as I don’t have any human babies yet! :) Most friends and family say I’m too protective and spoil my animals, but of course I do!!! How else should you treat them?! (August - May): I am a full time middle school teacher during the week, and work retail on the weekends preparing/saving for my upcoming wedding. MON-FRI: work 7:30 - 3:45 & can service your pets after 3:45 PM. SAT-SUN: work 10 - 6 & can service your pets after 6 PM. (Willing to take off work if you contact in advance & a little up charge) (June - Late July): I am free almost all day everyday for services unless I am scheduled to work my part-time retail job. Schedule varies. I’d treat them like my own, but even better since I’d expect the same for my babies being cared for by someone else on this service.

About: I have raised 7 dogs 14 cats and a couple other animals since as long as I can remember. I have 2 dogs of my own now and would love to meet many others like mine. I work full time but free anytime during the week from 6pm to 9pm. I am also available 10am to 9pm on Saturday’s and Sunday’s. I am putting up a large fence now for my two dogs after just moving into a new house. If needed I have 2 6’x6’x7’ spacious kennels if needed with toys to play with.

About: I have a wealth of experience working with a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and small mammals. I have encountered various breeds, temperaments, and specific care requirements, which has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of their needs. I believe in tailoring my care to meet the individual needs of each pet. I take the time to get to know the animals in my care, understanding their personalities, preferences, and any specific instructions provided by their owners. This personalized approach ensures that each pet feels comfortable, loved, and well-cared for during my time with them. I am meticulous and detail-oriented in my care. I pay close attention to every aspect of a pet's well-being, including their physical health, emotional state, and overall comfort. I am diligent in maintaining their routines, administering medications accurately, and providing the necessary exercise and mental stimulation for their specific breed and age. I recently had my dog Gracie pass away who was 10 years old and she would want me to love others dogs I am taking care of like I loved her. I understand the importance of trust between pet owners and sitters. I am committed to being dependable and reliable in my services. Perhaps most importantly, my passion for animals is what truly sets me apart. It is not just a job for me, but a genuine love and dedication to the well-being of pets. I understand that pets may need care at various times of the day or week, so I maintain flexibility in my schedule to accommodate their needs. This includes early mornings, evenings, weekends, and even holidays. I aim to ensure that pets receive continuous care and attention without disrupting their routines. I allocate specific times each day for feeding pets and ensuring they have access to fresh water. I follow their feeding schedules as instructed by their owners to maintain consistency. Communication with pet owners is essential, especially when caring for their pets in their absence. I make it a point to provide regular updates to the owners, sharing photos, videos, and written reports on their pet's activities, behavior, and overall well-being. This allows owners to stay connected and reassured about their pet's care. If any pets require medication, I strictly adhere to the prescribed schedule and administer it as directed. When caring for pets in their own home, I aim to maintain a sense of familiarity and routine for them. I follow their established feeding, exercise, and care routines as closely as possible. This helps reduce stress and anxiety, as they are in a comfortable and familiar environment. While caring for pets in their home, I maintain open and regular communication with the owners. I provide updates on their pet's activities, well-being, and any concerns that may arise. Clear and consistent communication helps pet owners stay informed and reassured while they are away. In my home, I ensure a secure and pet-friendly environment. I have designated areas or rooms where pets can relax, play, and sleep comfortably. I remove any potential hazards and provide a cozy bed, toys, and other amenities to make them feel at home.
