Cat Sitting in Toccoa

About: I have been a pet owner since I was little and taking care of pets when others are out of town, and tending to their needs; whether it be fun at the dog park, a walk, company, or pet care (baths, etc). I also used to babysit children and the family pets throughout highschool and college, professors trusted me to help with pets when they were off to meetings, events, and more. I also have experience taking care of older pets and those with medical needs (such as medicine, certain rules such as "no letting them jump or on stairs") I currently work full time, so morning check-ins, mid-day walks and car, and afternoon help are my current availability. I also have open availability on weekends. I always like to know what the rules of the home are and maintain them. I am big on following your requests and needs and upholding trust.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was little. Growing up, my family always had at least 1 dog and 1 cat around the house. Since becoming an adult, I’ve continued that by adopting 2 big ol’ black labs and caring for our home’s outdoor guardian cat. I lost my childhood pup, Misty (profile photo), this past year after 16 years of bacon treats and nose kisses, so I want to carry the love she gave me over to other animals! I’m a nurse and work 3 days per week, so I have a fairly open schedule. Just message me and we can try to work something out! I always make sure safety is top priority for all parties. I also understand that animals can be timid, and it may take more than 1-2 visits for an animal to warm up, and that’s okay. But I’ll do everything I can to make sure your animals become comfy with me around and feel safe and cared for.

About: Hi there! I’m Grace — a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all personalities and needs. I grew up with two cats, one timid and one diabetic, so I learned early on how to handle medications and even give injections with care and patience. Now, my husband and I share our home with two lovable black lab rescues — one who’s reactive and needs extra reassurance, and another who’s the definition of friendly! We also have a sweet outdoor orange cat who decided our yard was home. Because of my background, I’m comfortable with pets who are shy, anxious, or have medical needs, as well as those who just want all the cuddles and playtime. I’ve pet-sat for friends and family for years, and I treat every animal like my own — with love, respect, and attention to their unique personality. Whether your pet needs a calm presence, an active play buddy, or just someone reliable while you’re away, I’d love to help! i’m currently working as a full-time Wedding photographer. So, I have a schedule that is pretty flexible throughout the week. On the weekends, I’m available in the mornings and nights. However, I typically am wrapped up at a wedding during the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand that every animal has their own personality, boundaries, and needs — and I take the time to learn what makes them feel secure. Because of my background, I’m experienced with pets who need special attention or medication. I’ve administered insulin injections, handled reactivity with patience and calm, and cared for both anxious and social animals. I believe in gentle communication, positive reinforcement, and maintaining consistent routines so pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. You can trust that your pet will be cared for as if they were my own. I keep owners updated with photos, messages, and honest communication so you never have to worry. My goal is simple: for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands.

About: I am an experienced pet sitter and have been an animal advocate for over forty years. As a vet tech, I can also care for pets with special needs. I am retired and can devote my time and attention to caring for people’s pets. Our own pets are very welcoming to other dogs and cats. We have a large fenced-in backyard and a home with many dog beds and crates are available if that’s preferred. All pets are treated as members of our family. I am also available to visit pets in their own home, once or twice a day as needed.

“Kasey did an amazing job caring for our kitties! She kept us updated and made sure they were well taken care of. We really appreciated her reliability and would happily recommend her as a pet sitter.”

“Kathleen is truly amazing! She cares for your pets as if they were her own, showing so much attention, kindness, and genuine love. Leaving your pet is always stressful, but she made the whole experience so much easier by keeping me updated on my cat’s day. She’s incredibly thoughtful, and I can’t recommend her enough for anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets and peace of mind when you’re away from home.”

“Kirsten took great care of our kitties while we were away. Thanks again!”

Kremson T.

“Kristi was great! She communicated with me, sent pictures and seem to positively relate to our babies. We have old cats and one requires medication twice a day. Some sitters we have had were not always able to give her the medication. Betsy let her do it without too much trouble.”

“Katherine did a great job taking care of our dogs and cat!! Really puts our minds at ease knowing our fur babies are well taken care of when we are out of town :)”

About: I had pets as a child. As an adult we became a dog family 10 years ago. He’s stubborn and way smarter than I am. I’ve learned so much loving on our Smitty. I’m patient and love to see their personalities shine. I work from home so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I would be happy to discuss your personal needs and work that into my day. I walk my dogs on leash on our property. For you I’d do what your pet is accustomed to. I’m very flexible and able to work with what works for you best.

About: My friends and family say I truly am a "dog whisperer." I've owned pets my whole life and taken care of them since I was a teen. I've: -rescued animals from dumpsters and abusive situations. -raised animals that have been abandoned, blind, had skin allergies, cancer, and even more rare conditions. -worked with dogs who are scared and aggressive -walked multiple dogs at a time -administered subcutaneous fluids, and other controlled and non-controlled substances. -trained puppies and older dogs (training for dogs provided for an additional fee). I love giving any dog a bath, checking for bugs and tics, and even blow drying their hair. But my favorite activity is doggie photoshoots! All stays come with printed photo of your pup to take home. My entire world is my pets. Dogs have the run of the house here. I have: -a fenced in yard and 2400sq ft. fully dog proof home. -a medium or large sized crate if your dog needs to be crated at night. -microfiber couches that are easy to clean and soft to snuggle on -toys in every corner of the house: balls, stuffed animals, durable KONG toys, cattle horns and hooves -self scooping cat liter boxes so dogs never access to poop -3 different sized and material dog beds -baby gate for dogs who want privacy My fur babies and I look forward to hosting your fur babies and treating them like one of our own. I am more than willing to work with handicapped or special needs pets. Please call to discuss further details and set up a meet and greet so your pup isn't afraid the first time they stay with us. Requested information about your pet All of my time is devoted to pet care. Taking care of pets is my job. I’m available 24/7 for your pets needs and care. I have a fenced yard and 3 friendly dogs. I have 1 cat that was nursed and raised by my Boston Terrier so he thinks he’s a dog. I can also stay in your home. My daughter provides pet care for me when needed.
