“Cat was amazing with our kitty, scout. She popped in while we were away for the holidays and made sure she was loved and cared for in our absence. She kept the litter box tidy and even vacuumed up the mess!”
“Katie did a wonderful job with our cats (one of whom had health problems). She communicated with us during our trip and sent pics. I'll ask her again to care for our cats”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I can remember. I was in the 5th grade when my mom surprised us with watching some baby chicks for one weekend to help out one of the teachers at the school she worked at. I was never allowed to have any pets growing up so I was overjoyed. We were taught to handle them carefully and from there I went on to watch dogs, cats, etc. It was a special treat to be able to care for someone’s special companion and then give them back after getting to love on them. I’m currently working part time and have some free time on my hands. My mornings and evenings are flexible. I love animals so why not spend that extra time hanging out with them?! I always acknowledge when I am pet sitting that I am entering into a pet’s safe space. I want to be respectful of the environment and make sure I am being a calming presence and not intruding. I just want the animals to feel comfortable.
“Rebecca was amazing and on very short notice. She took care of our two dogs perfectly with quick responses and detailed updates. We really appreciated her help looking after our two boys for the week and will be rebooking her in the future!”
About: I have always had a love for animals. Although my speciality is with cats, I love and care for all animals the same. Your fur babies are in great hands with me! I am not currently working. So I can dedicate all my time to any pet in my care. I’ve always hoped to care for animals as a job! Anywhere I live a patio is mandatory. I’m a firm believer in enrichment time for all pets. Even if I am not able to play with them I make sure they have an area to play and get their energy out.
About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior companions who need extra patience and gentle attention. I’m comfortable administering medications and tailoring care to meet each pet’s unique needs. For younger dogs, I provide plenty of exercise, including running and playtime, along with consistent training to encourage good behavior. With every dog, my priority is to offer love, affection, and a safe, happy environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. As a graduate student at SCAD, my schedule is flexible and often takes me out and about in the city, making it easy to accommodate home visits throughout the day. I love walking and exploring, so incorporating pet walks and playtime into my routine feels natural and enjoyable. With plenty of free time in the afternoons, I can provide consistent, reliable care, and spending time with animals is the perfect way for me to unwind and destress between classes. I’m attentive, reliable, and respectful of each client’s home, ensuring pets are cared for in a familiar, comfortable environment. I follow instructions closely, from feeding schedules to specific routines, and pay attention to every detail of a pet’s needs. My calm and caring nature helps animals feel safe while their owners are away, and I keep spaces tidy so everything is just as you left it. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I make sure pets feel loved, secure, and well looked after in their own home.
“Sara was great with our stubborn old boy Nigel and our sweet cat Miley. Nigel needs a lot of love and patience and she definitely got him to warm up quickly. The updates made us feel like we were there, would definitely work with her again.”
About: Hello! I am a SAHM to a little boy born in May 2025, and have spent my life loving on animals, always having pets in the home and taking care of neighbor dogs. I currently have 3 wonderful rescue doggies that I love with all my heart and would love to spread some of the care to your sweet pet. I am a brand new mom and have availability to work around my newborn’s schedule. Once I go back to work, I will be working part time. I think it is so important to make your pet feel comfortable with me and the environment. I will always take their lead for what they need whether it be space to process a new person, or lots of cuddles and play.
About: Although I do not have a dog of my own, my family and friends do! I offer to watch, check on, and walk their dog(s) whenever they need me to! I’d love to check on your doggie(s), if you give me the chance to!! I’m currently working full time 8am - 5pm Monday through Friday. I’m open to checking in on your pet before work, and after work! & I’m pretty flexible on the weekends! I have a fenced in yard! I do have two cats inside, that I’d be okay with putting away in their “cat room” if the opportunity arises for an inside house sit!

She took the time to understand my dog’s routine, quirks, and preferences, ensuring he was not only cared for but truly happy while I was away. Samantha is reliable, communicative, and incredibly attentive — she kept me updated with photos and little notes so I knew my dog was safe, loved, and well-exercised.
