Cat Sitting in Toccoa

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.

About: I’ve had my own dogs for the majority of my life and fostered dogs for many years, dogs of all different shapes, sizes and breeds. I’m confident with caring for all kinds of dogs, no matter the age, on leash, off leash and in my home. I’ve raised and trained puppies and have an abundance of love and energy to give any dog! I am available after 12.30 Mon/Tues/Thurs/Fri and all day every other Wednesday. Depending upon the day/week I can also be available at short notice and I can be available at weekends. I am happy to visit your home to watch your pets, and/or take them out for exercise! I can play games for mental stimulation, chill out with your pet or take your pet out for walks.

About: I have multiple years of petting sitting experience. I also have experience caring for older dogs and cats, and their specific needs. When you book me, you providing the best care possible for your pets! Pet care on your schedule! Owning and caring for your pets is a full time job on its own, so whenever you need help when youre away, book me for the best care available! Pet care your way! Does your dog only eat their food if you pretend to put it in the oven? Do they only go to bed if you play whale songs for exactly 1 hour and 2 minutes? Whatever your pets needs, they'll be cared for the exact way you (and they) ask!

Taking care amd giving affection to animals is my passion. I am currently working as an HVAC Tech and going to trade school for my Air Conditioning Diploma. I am wanting to venture off into different side hustles to brimg in extra money in these tough times. I am available weekday nights, although some night availability might be later than others due to the nature of my Current Job. Weekends I am free and I can fit it into my schedule, so long as a notice is provided. I am familiar with dogs and handling different personalities and responsibilities.

About: I have been taking care of dogs pretty much my whole life. I grew up with all sorts of animals in the home. I also took care of my neighbors’ pets. I love playing with dogs, cats, fish, etc. Your pet will be in great hands, I always make sure that all my furry friends are happy and comfortable with me. I will constantly keep in touch with the owners to make sure they do not stress about their pet while they’re away. I also am CPR certified and First Aid certified, if an emergency was to ever occur. Thank you for checking out my profile, I hope to play with your pets soon! I am currently a student at Pfeiffer University, and have long breaks between my classes, and get done with all my classes very early, so I am able to be by your pooch’s side pretty much whenever you need me to be. I have two basset hounds at home, and I love to give them cuddles, and go on walks, get them new treats and toys. I love to just make most of my time all about the pets!

About: I have grew up around animals. I volunteered at a vet's office and was also in agriculture classes in high school. I have since got more experience working with animals for about 2 years as a kennel tech at a vet’s office and animal shelter. I’m also certified in pet CPR and currently in school for dog training. I’m trying to build a career up in the animal field to eventually have a business as a dog trainer, doggy day care, and possibly boarding as well. I’m currently doing in school for dog training so I’m not working anywhere right now. So I’m trying to pet sit well I’m finishing school. I’m also hoping during pet sitting I can meet lots of wonderful dog owners and dogs to hopefully since I’m trying to make a career in this as well. So I’m available daily but I do go to church on Sundays so it would be after 2p that I would be available. Unfortunately I currently can board dogs at my house right now but I’m hoping to be able to in the future. But I don’t make that at a owner’s house when taking the dogs out they are on a leash if needed. I also make sure that I do exactly what requests the owner’s have and just treat the animals like I would want my animals treated.

About: I specialize in misunderstood breeds, in heat females and intact males. I can work with reactive dogs, dogs with dog aggression and dont mind moody dogs who just want to be left alone. I work an 8-5 job during the week but am free every weekend, your pet will travel with me to dog shows as well. I also am off all federal holidays. In my home, I allow free roam of my living room and bedroom with someone always watching. I allow them on furniture and follow all instructions to a tee
