Pet Sitting Touchstone Village-Elm Lane

About: Dog lover who doesn’t mind taking long walks. Veteran pet lover with proven care experience. Not just a sitter - A pet care professional with heart. Tons of tail wags. Recently had to put down our dog of 13+ years. Recently retired, so I am available mornings, afternoon and evenings to take care of your pets. Have had dogs in our home for over 20 years. I have a fenced in yard so dog can play outside and roam around. Neighborhood has walking trails. Easily walk over two miles without having to leave the neighborhood.

“Tera is amazing with Finny! She sends photos and updates every day, and she's open to playing ball with Finn and his high energy needs. & she even brought in all our packages and took out our trash for us :) we will be using her again!”

“Samantha was so great with our kitties and I know they look forward to seeing her every day. Our cats probably like her more than us now! We definitely will be having her again.”

“Evgenila, took wonderful care of my 2 cats! Was willing to meet prior to watching them. She arrived every day, at the time we discussed and took time to not only feed them but she spent time playing and caring for them. Very grateful!”

“Savannah was great with Akela! She kept me well informed on everything going on while I was not home. I returned home to a very happy dog! Savannah is at the top of my list for dog sitters!!”

About: Experienced lifelong animal lover offering reliable, dedicated pet care. Having personally cared for a wide variety of animals—including dogs, cats, rabbits, and livestock—I understand the unique needs and temperaments of different pets. I bring patience, strong empathy, and attentive, playful energy to ensure your pets feel safe, active, and comfortable while you're away. I work in the mornings and I'm off on the evenings. If you like me to stay at your home I can do that too, I've done it before with my aunt's and cousin's cat I have a kitty on my own, her name is Velvette. I wake up at 5am to get myself ready for work, before I leave around 6:30am I feed her tuna, and pour some of her dry food in another bowl. When I come back I give her treats, play with her, she follows me around and then we lay together in bed and then 10am I feed her tuna again

“Emily (and her hubby) were great! They always arrived right on the requested time and provided great visit notes and pictures. She was also super communicative and understanding - especially while trying to figure out visit times around the holidays.”

About: I have been taking care of family dogs and my neighbors dogs since I was 10. I also raised my puppy since she was 4 weeks old. I am currently not working so I have open availability preferably mornings and afternoons. I am willing to work around your schedule as well if needed. I have a big yard with a 6foot tall fence, so they have freedom in the backyard to play and run. I also am cautious with the animals when they are outside.

“Elizabeth was so kind and helpful! She communicated with me during the visit to ensure Honey was well taken care of. Honey was very happy and so am I!”

Marta C.

“Cerys was so good with my 100 plus pound bully. She made him feel so comfortable with her that she didn’t even need treats to warm him up. I would definitely be booking her again for all my travel needs. She was super professional and sent plenty of photos. Thanks a million Cerys!”

Kiara L.

“I had a wonderful experience with Katherine. She spent plenty of quality time with my pups during each drop-in visit and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would highly recommend!”

About: Hello, we look forward to helping provide you with quality, dependable pet care services! We are Davis & Mackenzie, high school sweetheart newly-weds who are certified cat & animal lovers. Our fur babies are our whole entire world! We both came from households full of small animals around our whole lives, and cannot imagine a time where we have not cared for animals. In high school for Valentine's Day, we adopted our sweet Buddy, our senior kitty with asthma and urinary concerns. In college, Mackenzie adopted Lilah as her best friend. Both of our kitties have some special medical needs including asthma inhaler administration, pill administration, and ear drop medication occasionally. We also have traveled frequently with them due to moving and only having family out of state. They have come to Florida, Mississippi, Carolina beaches, and the mountains with us. That being said, we truly understand the feeling that no one can care for your animals like you do! And we hope we can alleviate those fears for others. Our dog Honey also has some particular medical needs revolving around allergies and anxiety, and we have a great extent of caring for her as well. Both of our cats require four small meals, multiple litter scoops, and lots of playtime a day, so we get it. We more than willing to offer multiple drop ins on weekend days and stay extended time if needed to alleviate any comfort worries. Our cat Lilah often tries to eat hazardous items, so we are absolutely meticulous about cleaning up charging cords, plastic wrappers, rubber bands, strings, shoes, you name it and promise to provide that same care to your animals. We have extensive cat toys that we can bring to play with your cats too, as we know how important continued enrichment is for them. We are highly knowledgable about diet restrictions and ways to provide value to our cats' quality of life. We want to leave them in better spirits and your home in better condition than when we arrived! While our children have special needs that make them our whole world, we wanted to open our evenings and weekends to helping care for other fur children! We realized how nice it was to finally have a sitter for our animals after anxiously travelling with them for years, and would love to continue to help others with the same needs! In order to save more pets from shelters, we would love to be part of someones "village" that they can rely on to check in our their cats. In our free time we love visiting the cat cafes locally too. Davis works full time with some WFH days where he could do a brief drop in around lunch or very early morning. Mackenzie is a full time student continuing her college education as a medical assistant. That being said, she has more availability on Mondays and Wednesdays, as well as weekends with Davis. We are unable to offer boarding in our home currently, nor can we offer overnights due to our animals. However, we can definitely stay late nights or early mornings on occasion! We promise to be extremely respectful of your home, treat your fur babies like our own, and be effective communicators! While Mackenzie and Davis primarily focus on feline or small dog care, we also are capable of small animal care of any kind, so please do inquire! As pet parents of 3 high needs animals, we are always doing something surrounding the care of our animals. That being said, we are currently unable to offer boarding in our home or staying overnights elsewhere. We have pretty open WEEKEND availability, as well as some early mornings, some evenings, and some midday availability depending on proximity and duration needed. Any messages asking about our availability will always receive a response! In general, our schedule openness is as follows: Monday & Wednesdays: 5-7am, 12-1pm sometimes, & 5:30-9pm Fridays: 5-7:30am and 2-10pm. Saturday + Sunday: Very open availability with sufficient notice! Please make an inquiry:) We also want to note that our base rate is set for us as a couple, so $19 if we both show up, or $19 if only one of us can make it too. We do most things together by choice, and our rate will never be per individual within the couple:) We are looking forward to offering drop in services! We will treat your animals and home with the absolute most respect, consideration, and care that we can. We love to provide thorough play time, adequate meals and litter scooping, and making sure messes are cleaned. We will be punctual and courteous, communicating effectively with continued updates. We are happy to send photos every time! We take most bookings as a couple (buddy system for safety & efficiency!) unless otherwise noted due to one person's scheduling conflict. We are unable to board animals in our home or offer overnights at this time.

“Jamie is wonderful! She went above and beyond to make sure our dog was taken care of while we were away for a week. She's kind, reliable, and ready to help where needed. She provides lots of communication and I know our pup was happy in her care. Will definitely be reaching out to book her again in the future!”

“Maddie checked on my two cats for 10 days while I was on vacation; I was so nervous to leave them but I felt so much better leaving them in Maddie's care! She came over before I left so I could show her around and was so responsive! I would definitely recommend Maddie to anyone.”

Emily G.

“Gretchen and her husband were great, my trip was a lot less stressful knowing I had someone checking on my kitty while I was away!”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs since I can remember. Many neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to look after their lovely pets! I will adore them as if they were my own! I work a job that is remote throughout the week and I do find myself having a lot of extra time because of that. I have a pretty open schedule during the weekends so I’m very flexible and I’m willing to stay at your house or bring them over to interact with my own pet. I do have a fur baby of my own who is super friendly and loves everyone and anyone that will pay attention to him. “

“Sara was so amazing when I needed her last minute and I highly recommend her. She seriously helped me out in such short notice and my pups absolutely loved her!”

About: As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. 🐾 I have years of experience caring for my own dog and have also house sat and cared for friends’ pets while they were away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and following your pet’s normal routine. Most importantly, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care! ❤️ I currently work a full-time 9–5 schedule, but I have flexibility throughout the day for pet care! I’m available for early morning visits, lunchtime check ins or walks, and evenings after work. I’m also happy to coordinate with pet parents to find a schedule that works best for their pet’s routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Safety is always a priority, so I follow all care instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine while you’re away. At this time, I’m happy to provide pet sitting and care in your home, but I’m not currently able to host pets in my own home. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for!
