About: All of my life I’ve always had a dog and have always found myself passionate for them. I’ve been a husky momma for the last 11 years. I’ve raised my male from 6 weeks old and to 9.5 and unfortunately he was laid to rest in August. I rescued my female and she is now 15. We also have my husbands catahoula mix that is 11 years old but you would never be able to tell by his high energy. I have lived, cared and sat for many dogs of all sizes, ages and breeds. I have also worked at a doggy daycare/boarding facility where I have much experience and interactions of dogs of all kinds. It’s important to me to ensure our fur babies feel loved, safe and cared for. I’d love to use my free time to help families out by caring for your fur babies.

Making sure your pet is safe is my biggest priority. Just let me know what works best for your pet and I’ll be sure to accommodate their needs whether that is crating your pet once I leave, making sure your pet steers clear of other animals or children if your pet doesn’t do well around them. Just let me know and I will 100% ensure to follow.

About: Hello fellow cat lovers! 🐾 My name is Brian, and I’ve been devoted to caring for cats for years — from outgoing kittens who want endless playtime to shy rescues who need quiet patience and trust. I believe every cat is unique, and my goal is always to make them feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away. My Cat Experience All Personalities Welcome: Whether your cat is a confident lap-sitter, a curious explorer, or a cautious hider, I respect their boundaries and meet them where they’re comfortable. Building trust with shy or anxious cats is something I take pride in. Daily Care: I’ll keep your cat’s routine consistent with feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and, of course, plenty of affection (if they’re in the mood!). Play & Enrichment: I know how important stimulation is — from wand toys and laser chases to puzzle feeders, I’ll make sure your cat has both mental and physical activity during my visits. Special Needs: I have experience with cats who require oral medications, supplements, or special diets. I always follow detailed instructions carefully so you can feel confident your kitty is well cared for. Health & Safety: I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or litter habits that could indicate health issues. If I notice anything unusual, I’ll let you know right away. What I Provide Drop-in Visits: I’ll stop by your home for feeding, playtime, litter box care, and snuggles (if your cat allows). Overnight Care: For cats who prefer extra companionship, I’m available to stay overnight so they feel secure and comfortable in their own environment. Updates & Photos: I know how much peace of mind matters — I’ll send you regular updates and adorable photos so you always know how your cat is doing. Why Choose Me? Cats are more than pets — they’re family. I don’t just “check in” on cats; I connect with them, respect their independence, and give them the care they deserve. My goal is to make sure your cat is not only safe and comfortable, but also genuinely happy while you’re away. Whether your kitty wants lap cuddles, energetic playtime, or simply someone to make sure their world stays calm and predictable, I’m here to provide care that keeps tails up and purrs going strong.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Hanson
“Eve was absolutely amazing! She was able to take care of our little Dolly on very short notice while we were in Valdosta and wanted to spend the day at Wild Adventures. She kept us updated with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Dolly was happy and well cared for. Eve was kind, reliable, and treated Dolly like one of her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we will definitely be using her again the next time we’re in the area. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Karin and her son were wonderful dog sitters to our two dachshunds. They sent us updates and photos the entire time we were gone and I know the girls were as spoiled as if they were with us!”

About: Hi! I’ve been raising my 6-year-old male Husky since he was a 3-month-old puppy, so I understand structure, training consistency, and high-energy personalities. We also care for our 16-year-old female Toy Poodle. Senior care has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to manage age-related changes with calm and routine. I personally handle bathing, brushing, nail trimming, and grooming for both dogs. Our home has a secure backyard with a dog door for safe bathroom access, and daily walks are part of our routine. We are a family home with a child, so I only accept dogs that are comfortable in a home environment. I work part-time and manage family responsibilities, so I require advance scheduling. Weekday mid-afternoon availability may be limited, but I’m happy to discuss options to ensure it’s a good fit for both sides.
About: I truly love animals of all shapes and sizes. I personally have 2 dogs, (a 3yo dachshund and 12yo golden retriever) and 1 cat that will be 17 this year. I am familiar with senior and special needs as well as puppies in training. I am currently a SAHM with our 1yo daughter and pets. My schedule is extremely flexible on a day to day basis which allows me to accommodate most pet schedules. Pets are true family members and deserve love and attention as much as kids. I enjoy providing each pet individual time and attention to help ease any stress while their parents/families are out of town or at work.
About: While growing up, there’s never been a time where an animal was not in my home. From dogs to horses to chickens to cats and much more. I currently have 2 rescues and know how much your four legged friends mean to you. I promise with any service you book with me, I will make sure to care for your pet just as much as I would care for my own. I’ve always loved animals and hope to pursue a career in taking care of animals as a zookeeper. I will make sure your pets will get plenty of walk and play time as well as making sure they are as happy as can be! I promise you won’t be disappointed when booking a service with me!

About: I have 28 years experience with dogs of different breeds, with my favorite being German shepherds. I had 2 for 10 years. They both passed away last year so I currently do not have any dogs or other animals. Experience with various different types of reptiles - snakes, monitors, geckos. Ducks, chickens, you name it - I will look after it🫡 I have a very flexible schedule that would allow me to be available for long periods of times, very short notice, end during business hours, when most people are at work and neither their dog looked after. I will go over rules very extensively with everyone before the booking. Thank you medication’s for everything will be labeled and talked abouttt.m

About: Hi there! 🐾 My name is Brian, and animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. From growing up surrounded by family pets to helping neighbors with their furry friends, I’ve built years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even the occasional small critter. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s something I love. Experience & Skills Dogs of All Sizes & Personalities: I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies who are still learning leash manners to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and gentle care. Whether it’s high-energy walks, playtime fetch sessions, or slow, comforting strolls, I tailor each outing to the dog’s needs. Cats & Small Pets: I understand that cats and smaller animals need a calm and respectful approach. I’m comfortable providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes, giving affection, or simply being a quiet, trustworthy presence for those who are more independent. Medication & Special Needs: I have experience administering oral medications and following special feeding or activity routines. I know how important consistency is for pets with health needs, and I always take extra care to follow instructions closely. Safety First: I’m attentive on walks, always checking surroundings, watching for other animals, and making sure your pet is safe and comfortable. Your pet’s wellbeing is my top priority. What I Offer Dog Walking: From quick potty breaks to long, energy-burning walks, I’ll make sure your pup gets the exercise and stimulation they need. Drop-in Visits: I can stop by for feeding, playtime, and check-ins to ensure your pets are happy, hydrated, and cared for while you’re away. House Sitting: For pets who prefer the comfort of their own space, I’m available to stay in your home, keeping your pet company and maintaining their normal routine. Why Choose Me? I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, kindness, and respect. I understand the trust it takes to let someone else care for your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. You can expect regular updates, photos, and messages so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. At the end of the day, I want both you and your pet to feel at ease. My goal is to provide not just reliable pet care, but genuine companionship that makes tails wag and purrs rumble. One of the most important parts of pet care is consistency, and I structure my schedule to make sure your pets get the attention they need when they need it most. 🐾 Weekly Availability Weekdays (Mon–Fri): I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings. This means I can cover everything from quick morning potty breaks to afternoon walks or evening feedings. Weekends (Sat–Sun): I keep my weekends flexible for pet care, so whether you’re away for the day or traveling overnight, I can be there to keep your pets happy and safe. Flexibility I’m able to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. If your plans change suddenly, I’ll do my best to step in and help. I can adjust to your pet’s normal routine — whether they’re early risers, midday snackers, or nighttime cuddlers, I’ll keep their schedule consistent so they feel secure. Services by Time of Day Morning Walks / Check-Ins: Great for pups who need exercise before you head to work. Midday Visits: Perfect for a potty break, feeding, or playtime to break up the day. Evening Care: Walks, dinner feeding, litter care, or winding down with snuggles. Overnight Stays: For pets who need extra comfort, I offer overnight house sitting to keep their routine stable in their own home. Communication I’ll always confirm availability ahead of time, and I send updates during each visit so you know exactly when I was there and how your pet is doing. When it comes to caring for pets, I believe three things matter most: safety, trust, and environment. These are the values I bring to every walk, visit, or overnight stay. 🐾 Safety First Your pet’s wellbeing is always my top priority. I stay alert on walks, keeping a close eye on traffic, other animals, and potential hazards. I never let pets off-leash unless in a fully secure, enclosed space, and I follow your instructions carefully when it comes to feeding, exercise, or medications. I’m also trained to notice subtle changes in behavior or health so small issues don’t go unnoticed. 🐾 Built on Trust I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets and your home in someone else’s care. That’s why I communicate openly, follow directions to the letter, and send regular updates and photos so you always know how things are going. My goal is for you to feel complete peace of mind knowing your pets are cared for as if they were my own. 🐾 A Comfortable Environment I believe pets thrive best when their routines and spaces feel consistent. Whether I’m visiting your home or staying overnight, I make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. For cats, that may mean quiet patience and gentle interaction. For dogs, that could mean structured walks and plenty of play. Every animal has their own rhythm, and I take the time to adapt to it.
