“We had a wonderful experience with Jelisa! She was incredibly flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times, which made our schedule so much easier to manage. Throughout the stay, she kept us updated with daily messages and sent plenty of pictures, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, it was clear that she was very loving and attentive with our dog. You could tell our baby was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We truly appreciated the communication and kindness shown, and we would absolutely trust her to watch our dog again. Highly recommend!”
“Bandito stayed with Jessica for 3 nights and he can’t wait to meet his new friends again. I am also Happy that Jessica was able to accommodate my short notice request. My transactions and communications were wonderful and easy. Jessica will be my first option for the above reasons. Thank you Jessica!”
“Heather is a kind, dog-loving sitter. She was responsive to all texts before and during the stay. I also received daily photos and brief status updates on Essie. I felt Essie was in good hands during our week away, and this helped me enjoy my vacation. Definitely would use Heather again.”
“Alexis is very kind and an excellent communicator. Her home is spacious and has just the right energy for your furbaby. She is organized and made sure that I was able to drop off and pick up at my desired time. She sent me updates which made me feel very comfortable that my pup was having a great time and adjusted well! She was able to maintain his high energy and he obviously loved that! I know he had a great time in her care and we will be back!”
“Judith took such GOOD care of our fur baby!!! She went above and beyond. She sent frequent updates including pictures and videos, she gave our dog multiple baths because she was shedding, and she even got her some itch spray because she started itching while we were away. Judith was also very flexible with our needs before and during our dog’s stay. Can’t say enough great things and highly recommend!”
“Our very attached Sammy seemed excited when we dropped him off for a 2 night stay after a short meet and greet the week before. He seemed to do great with the other dogs, which is wonderful for his socialization! He is booked for a 3 night stay soon and I am so pleased I won’t have to worry about him being happy and cared for!”
“Jada was so kind and responsive. She truly loves dogs and it shined through during their entire stay. She was warm and loving when I dropped the dogs off, communicated and shared pictures, both my dogs seemed right at home and were well cared for. She will be by go to sitter from now on!”
“Kristine watched our border collie during 4th of July. Our pup is scared of fireworks but Kristine put in extra care and work to make sure she was more than comfortable during that time. She took her to play at the beach, sent great pictures and was very communicative. It’s clear Kristine is extremely knowledgeable with all types of dogs. Definitely will be having Kristine watch our dog again, my husband and I both recommend you book with her!”
“Gabrielle was great with my Shadow! Had an small incident happen but she was in control of it right away & she informed me with pics & everything. She is the best…Shadow came home all tired out from playing & slept so good that night. Thank u soo much again!”
“Staci was so great with our pup. She kept us up to date all week with great reports. I would highly recommend her. We’ll for sure she if she’s available if we come back in town.”
“Ashley was wonderful! We were staying nearby at a hotel in Jekyll Island and her house was the perfect little quick detour. Our dog, Max, seemed to love his stay. She sent us many photos and even remembered to give Max his meds when I, at the last minute, decided to pick him up sooner than originally planned. If we’re ever in the area again, we will 100% book her again!”
“Katherine was very responsive to me from the beginning. She stayed in contact and sent pictures of my Buddy throughout the stay. It was evident that Buddy was safe and cared for for while we were away. I will definitely use her again.”
“Excellent care of my 2 pups. When I brought their beds in from the car they sniffed the sitters house for a while. The sent photos are like Glamor Shots and sent multiple a day. They were definitely spoiled during their stay. They have a large Mastiff, but he's a sweetheart. Would definitely recommend.”
“Jennifer and her family are so sweet!!! I felt totally comfortable leaving my 2 furkids with them!!! I think one of my dogs wanted to stay there permanently lol. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’m especially comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs pets, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and respecting each pet’s individual boundaries. I also founded and manage an animal rescue organization in Brazil, where I have personally cared for more than 60 rescued cats. This experience has taught me how to handle animals who may be fearful, nervous, or unfamiliar with new environments, as well as pets who require extra attention, medication, or specialized care. As a pet mom to my dog Savannah and my cat Ellie, I understand that every pet is a member of the family. I provide attentive, loving care and take the time to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home. As a military spouse, I also understand how important flexibility, reliability, and trust can be for military families and their pets. I work remotely from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. My schedule gives me the flexibility to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks, while also making sure your pet receives plenty of companionship. Because I’m home most of the day, your pet will have someone around to keep them company and monitor their needs. I’m able to give each pet the individual attention, care, and affection they deserve while they are staying with me. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets can feel at home. I follow each pet’s individual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, rest, and any special instructions from their owner. Since I work remotely from home, I’m able to provide frequent supervision and plenty of attention throughout the day. I also make sure pets have a calm and comfortable space to relax when they need some quiet time. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, habits, likes, and boundaries. My goal is to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible while keeping them safe and well cared for.
“Anna was amazing with my Shadow. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter than she is. I would highly recommend her to anyone for your animal sitting needs. She treats them as if they were her fur baby. I’m will be definitely using her again in the future.”
“Melanie is wonderful! From the “meet and greet” to actually caring for Murphy, she was extremely patient, kind and caring. I especially appreciated the updates and her flexibility when our travel plans were delayed. She made me feel reassured that our fur baby was in good hands! 100% would recommend her to anyone:)”
About: Happy trails and happy tails! We adore animals and truly enjoy caring for them. It’s something that already fits naturally into our daily life. Living in a quieter, more spacious setting, we wanted to create a safe, calm place where pets can feel comfortable while their owners are away. We understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so we focus on giving them attention, consistency, and a low stress environment. For us, we know how it feels to consider our pets as family members and it’s something we take seriously and genuinely brings us joy! We have had the privilege of loving several fur babies over the years and know what it means to have trusted partners and friends that can help out when the need arises. Our sweet companions should have a comfortable and safe space to relax when families have to be away. In recent years we’ve struggled to find that for our own pets so we’ve decided to open our home and land in order to help those looking for a reliable option for care. Sharing our hobby farm would be an honor for those who feel it would be a good fit for their families! We look forward to growing trusted partnerships in our community. We are homeschooling family of 3 that spends the majority of our days working and learning here on our mini hobby farm. My husband remote works and one of us can be found here most days of the week. We have 2 male yellow labs that hold down the outside spaces and female golden doodle that keeps things fun inside. They are very social and friendly with other animals. We also have 3 outdoor cats, a bunny in a hutch, and a large coop of chickens that free range in the afternoons. We do mealtimes 2x per day and have plenty of fresh clean water available at all times. Playtime and walks are every day around noon and again in the evenings. Potty breaks 3-4 times per day or as needed. For the safety of our furry friends we do crate or provide a smaller space for resting and relaxing times. If your pet cannot be confined in smaller rooms or spaces throughout the day, let’s discuss how to best care for their needs prior to booking a stay.

“I always book Josie for drop-in visits of my cats when I travel. She is really thorough and caring. She treats my cats as if they were her own pets, and also my house as if it was hers, too.”
“Highly recommend! My cat was looked after so well and in every photo sent she looked so happy and taken care of when I had to be away for a few days. If you need someone who will look after your cat and provide them extra love I highly recommend these sitters!”

About: Even though I love both, I am definitely a cat person. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playing, and giving cats plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every cat is different, so I’m happy to follow their usual routine and give them space when they need it

I also like to do a military/first responder/student discount! As for cancellations I do require a 48hour notice for drop in visits but I understand that it’s not always possible. My priority is caring for your furbabes above all. I only ask for a 48hour notice because I often have to turn other clients away when one is already booked. I unfortunately do not offer boarding. I am able to accommodate furbabes with special needs pets as I have a Pyrenees with hip dysplasia. Because of my medical background I am more than comfortable and experienced administering injections. I have a special place in my heart caring for geriatric or injured furbabes- I take extra time with them free of charge. I also am able to help care for small/ large breed pups and cats. I also have experience with livestock and spend extra time with gentle giants such as horses- I grew up in the Midwest and was always helping out on the farm
About: I have raised and cared for families, friends 🧡, and even coworkers' pets. Growing up, I always enjoyed watching veterinarians help our farm animals. My mother taught us about natural remedies we could find in nature to help cure or heal us over time. One memorable experience was when I saved a beloved cat from what we believed was antifreeze poisoning. Drawing on what I learned from my family and my work, I created activated charcoal using black coal from the fireplace. I mixed the powdered charcoal with warm milk and carefully forced it down my little cat's throat. Thankfully, I was able to save my cat, Taco 🌮 😺, who went on to live for many more happy years.
About: I’ve been around cats since I was a kid about six years old. I love cats just as much as I love dogs. I stated before my very first dream job as a kid was to be a veterinarian. I love to take care of cats. I love their demeanor. I love how different they are than dogs how they love in their own way they love on their terms. I love the different personalities of cats. I know that you can’t rough house with a cat the way you with rough house with most dogs. I know the requirements of taking care of a cat that include litter boxes, feeding them a different food than dogs eat and a different way of taking care of cats than dogs.
About: My family always joked I’d become a crazy cat lady. Joke’s on them! I love all animals, but to be fair, cats are my favorite. 🐱 I understand that every cat has their own personality, whether they’re a cuddle bug, playful menace, shy baby, or prefer to admire you from afar. I’m experienced with senior cats, specialty diets, and administering oral and topical medications. Most importantly, I’m happy to meet your cat where they are and give them the care, attention, and space they need to feel comfortable while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of animals all of my life honestly. I was always told I had a “bee charm” because I’ve never had a bad experience with any animal, even ones others have labeled aggressive or unfriendly. I treat my animals like my babies. They’re people who just don’t speak English to me. I work in the restaurant industry so I don’t work long hours and I’m flexible. My sister is also a rover sister and she spends a lot of time at my house. I have a fenced yard in the back that my dog loves to sun bath in and do his business. I have a nice quiet neighborhood that we love to take walks around. My house is full of love. Me and my children love animals. Some would even say we baby them. My sweet boy sleeps at the end of my bed and when I leave I like to put on a movie or pandora so he doesn’t feel alone.
About: I have experience in training puppies, working with aggressive dogs and caring for old injured dogs. I worked at animal control for 3 years and have dealt with all kinds of babies I work in Brunswick and have an hour lunch during the day and have the freedom to go wherever needed. And get off with plenty of daylight left. My pets have a large back yard to play in and they have their own pool( kiddie for my little dog) they come in and out as they please.
About: I've owned animals my whole life. I recently worked at a spay and neuter clinic that has given me insight to animal care and needs. I am currently a stay at home mom. I can go over several times a day to spend as much time needed with the animals in my care. I will follow all instructions given by the pet owner. And make sure that each animal in the home gets lots of attention while I'm there.
About: I’ve been a cat mom for most of my life and currently have cats of my own. I grew up with cats and welcomed my first childhood cat, Miss Priss, when I was eight years old. She slept with me every night and lived a long, happy life until the age of 23, which taught me early on how important consistency, patience, and gentle care are — especially as cats age. I’m very comfortable caring for cats of all ages and personalities, from playful and social to shy or independent. I understand that cats thrive on routine and familiar environments, and I take a calm, observant approach to help them feel safe and comfortable while their humans are away. I’m happy to follow specific feeding schedules, litter routines, play preferences, medication needs, and any quirks that make your cat uniquely themselves. Whether your cat wants interactive play, quiet companionship, or just someone to check in and keep things steady, I’m here to provide thoughtful, attentive care.
About: I've had 2 cats and have always loved cats since I was a little kid. I got my very first one when I was 12 years old, then I got my second cat at 18 and have taken care of both since. I have also gone and taken care of my friends cats for them while they were on vacation.

“Jessica took excellent care of our toy poodle Victor. Victor is normally shy and anxious when he’s away from home, but I could tell from the pictures that Jessica shared that he was having a great time and was being taken care of. We’ll definitely be using Jessica again!”
“Heather was amazing! From the moment we messaged her to dropping off our Penne girl. Highly recommend and if we are ever back in the area we would definitely not hesitate to use her again. Thank you and the kids for making Pennes day so fun!”

“Baxter enjoyed his day with Yvonne. She is loving and kind, has lots of dog toys to entertain our Baxter. We could see how comfortable Baxter was with her when we picked him up. Loved the pictures she sent while we were away! Highly recommend Yvonne.”
About: Hi! I understand how important your pet is to you. We have two yorkies, Tyson and Wyatt, that are our children! We provide a caring, safe and active home for pups. Because we have two small dogs, we do prefer to sit for small dogs, under 15 pounds, to ensure everyone is safe. Our yorkies have gotten along with all dogs that they have been around. They love to play but quickly learn their boundaries. They are spoiled rotten with attention and your dog will be too! I work from home full time so there is usually someone always here to let them outside several times a day. If we go out we do put our pups in a pen I do keep my pups in a pen while I work and when we leave the home to ensure they are safe... and don't have accidents in the home!
“If you're looking for a reliable and caring dogsitter, Jennifer is the one to book! We are very selective about who we leave our pup, Aslan, with, and Jennifer exceeded our high expectations. She kept us updated with photos throughout Aslan’s stay, making us feel at ease. We will be booking with Jennifer again and highly recommend her for anyone who wants exceptional care for their furry friend!”

I've been the person to take them on walks, groom, etc. I've cared for my cat and dog, I do their grooming, the dogs training and have learned from a service dog trainer. I've had my dog since she was 3 months old and my cat since she was 8 weeks old. I've pet sat for friends multiple times. I'm currently working full time, however my boyfriend also lives with me and helps me out with the care taking. He'll be doing potty breaks and walks as needed, while I handle the training, bathing, etc. I have a dog and a cat to keep your fur baby(ies) company! We'll follow your schedule and have plenty of playtime, spa days as needed, etc.!
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and have had one or two dogs of my own for most of my life. I’ve cared for a wide range of breeds and personalities and have experience raising dogs from puppyhood, which has given me a lot of patience and confidence with all kinds of behaviors. I’m especially comfortable with high-energy and strong-willed dogs. I’m an active walker and runner, so I’m happy to give energetic pups plenty of exercise through long walks or even jogs. I also have experience with gentle, compassionate leash training for dogs who are still learning. I’m currently puppy-less for the first time and would love to pour that extra love, attention, and energy into caring for your dog as if they were my own. I work from home as a travel advisor and maintain a flexible, self-managed schedule. This allows me to easily accommodate daytime drop-in visits, and I keep my availability updated on a weekly basis. While I’m not able to board pets in my own home, I’m happy to provide frequent drop-in visits or overnight pet sitting in your home, as trust allows. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to follow your established schedule and activities so your dog or cat can maintain a sense of normalcy while you’re away.
About: First off I am more than just a dog sitter..I am an animal lover and I have a lot of compassion for all dogs and animals ! Your dog/furbaby is going to think of me as a best friend before the day is over. I will be available at least 3 times a day to walk, feed, groom, play, and whatever else it is you and your dog need ! I have not only owned my own furbabies, but I have also helped take care of other people’s pets for at least 17 years now. I love all animals and can help take care of your pets even if it is more than just a dog..I also love and take care of cats, rabbits, birds, hamsters, fish, and more ! I work from home and only leave to drop-in on my other fur baby clients. So I am never gone any longer than 30 minutes a day. I have a fenced in yard, so all fur babies in my care get to roam free and I also take them on walks around my neighborhood for exercise. Not to mention the one on one attention they receive and endless love and cuddles! I make homemade dog treats too. Sweet potato, blueberries, and all!
About: Personalized care, a safe environment, and lots of love and attention to each pet. Inc walks, treats, updates/pictures and an eased mind. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies. Pet sitting fits into my daily life by integrating pet care tasks like feeding, walking, and playtime into your regular schedule, providing companionship and ensuring their well-being while their owners are away. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client's, ensure their basic needs are met with regular feeding, fresh water, exercise, and bathroom breaks. Maintain a safe and clean environment, follow any specific instructions from the owner, and provide plenty of attention and affection to keep them happy and comfortable.
About: I grew up around pets my as a child and have owned dogs for 32 years of all sizes and types. I have always been the go to person for everyone to care for their pets and i love it. I have no problem feeding, bathing, training or walking your pet as if it were my own. Our pets are our children as well and we need to care for them the best way we can. I am self employed and work my own schedule so I can care for your pet Friday -Tuesdays 9am-3pm. Different days or later hours can be arranged with at least a weeks notice. I have a fenced yard and can Kennel the dog if needed but for the most part I prefer for them to get a feel of my home and my rules.

“We had a wonderful experience with Jelisa! She was incredibly flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times, which made our schedule so much easier to manage. Throughout the stay, she kept us updated with daily messages and sent plenty of pictures, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, it was clear that she was very loving and attentive with our dog. You could tell our baby was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We truly appreciated the communication and kindness shown, and we would absolutely trust her to watch our dog again. Highly recommend!”
“Bandito stayed with Jessica for 3 nights and he can’t wait to meet his new friends again. I am also Happy that Jessica was able to accommodate my short notice request. My transactions and communications were wonderful and easy. Jessica will be my first option for the above reasons. Thank you Jessica!”
“Heather is a kind, dog-loving sitter. She was responsive to all texts before and during the stay. I also received daily photos and brief status updates on Essie. I felt Essie was in good hands during our week away, and this helped me enjoy my vacation. Definitely would use Heather again.”
“Alexis is very kind and an excellent communicator. Her home is spacious and has just the right energy for your furbaby. She is organized and made sure that I was able to drop off and pick up at my desired time. She sent me updates which made me feel very comfortable that my pup was having a great time and adjusted well! She was able to maintain his high energy and he obviously loved that! I know he had a great time in her care and we will be back!”
“Judith took such GOOD care of our fur baby!!! She went above and beyond. She sent frequent updates including pictures and videos, she gave our dog multiple baths because she was shedding, and she even got her some itch spray because she started itching while we were away. Judith was also very flexible with our needs before and during our dog’s stay. Can’t say enough great things and highly recommend!”
“Our very attached Sammy seemed excited when we dropped him off for a 2 night stay after a short meet and greet the week before. He seemed to do great with the other dogs, which is wonderful for his socialization! He is booked for a 3 night stay soon and I am so pleased I won’t have to worry about him being happy and cared for!”
“Jada was so kind and responsive. She truly loves dogs and it shined through during their entire stay. She was warm and loving when I dropped the dogs off, communicated and shared pictures, both my dogs seemed right at home and were well cared for. She will be by go to sitter from now on!”
“Kristine watched our border collie during 4th of July. Our pup is scared of fireworks but Kristine put in extra care and work to make sure she was more than comfortable during that time. She took her to play at the beach, sent great pictures and was very communicative. It’s clear Kristine is extremely knowledgeable with all types of dogs. Definitely will be having Kristine watch our dog again, my husband and I both recommend you book with her!”
“Gabrielle was great with my Shadow! Had an small incident happen but she was in control of it right away & she informed me with pics & everything. She is the best…Shadow came home all tired out from playing & slept so good that night. Thank u soo much again!”
“Staci was so great with our pup. She kept us up to date all week with great reports. I would highly recommend her. We’ll for sure she if she’s available if we come back in town.”
“Ashley was wonderful! We were staying nearby at a hotel in Jekyll Island and her house was the perfect little quick detour. Our dog, Max, seemed to love his stay. She sent us many photos and even remembered to give Max his meds when I, at the last minute, decided to pick him up sooner than originally planned. If we’re ever in the area again, we will 100% book her again!”
“Excellent care of my 2 pups. When I brought their beds in from the car they sniffed the sitters house for a while. The sent photos are like Glamor Shots and sent multiple a day. They were definitely spoiled during their stay. They have a large Mastiff, but he's a sweetheart. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’m especially comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs pets, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and respecting each pet’s individual boundaries. I also founded and manage an animal rescue organization in Brazil, where I have personally cared for more than 60 rescued cats. This experience has taught me how to handle animals who may be fearful, nervous, or unfamiliar with new environments, as well as pets who require extra attention, medication, or specialized care. As a pet mom to my dog Savannah and my cat Ellie, I understand that every pet is a member of the family. I provide attentive, loving care and take the time to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home. As a military spouse, I also understand how important flexibility, reliability, and trust can be for military families and their pets. I work remotely from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. My schedule gives me the flexibility to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks, while also making sure your pet receives plenty of companionship. Because I’m home most of the day, your pet will have someone around to keep them company and monitor their needs. I’m able to give each pet the individual attention, care, and affection they deserve while they are staying with me. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets can feel at home. I follow each pet’s individual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, rest, and any special instructions from their owner. Since I work remotely from home, I’m able to provide frequent supervision and plenty of attention throughout the day. I also make sure pets have a calm and comfortable space to relax when they need some quiet time. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, habits, likes, and boundaries. My goal is to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible while keeping them safe and well cared for.
“Anna was amazing with my Shadow. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter than she is. I would highly recommend her to anyone for your animal sitting needs. She treats them as if they were her fur baby. I’m will be definitely using her again in the future.”
“Melanie is wonderful! From the “meet and greet” to actually caring for Murphy, she was extremely patient, kind and caring. I especially appreciated the updates and her flexibility when our travel plans were delayed. She made me feel reassured that our fur baby was in good hands! 100% would recommend her to anyone:)”
“What a beautiful family! My doggie Leo had an amazing time with you guys and we thank you soo much for taking great care of him while we were away. We definitely will rebook again in the future. Thank you for everything!”
About: I have been around or taking care of dogs since I was about six years old. I grew up around dogs of all shapes and sizes. My first dream job was to be a veterinarian because of my love for animals, but dogs more than anything else. I love dogs, and I understand that dogs have their own personalities their own emotions their own likes their own dislikes and different ways to be cared for just like humans do.i treat dogs with respect and I treat dogs with love. I never call dogs “ it” I call them by their name and gender like they should be addressed. I’ve also volunteered more than once at K9 battle buddies. I know how to adapt to different dogs with different demeanors. I am a military veteran with more time on my hands than I used to have so why not spend this time taking care of walking, watching and playing with animals that I love If a dog is in my home, I will take care of them as if this dog is mine as if I brought this dog into my family. I will treat the dog love I will protect him or her as if they are my own. If I’m in the home of the owner, I’ll respect the dogs home as if I’m babysitting a child. I will respect the home of the owner as well.
“Giovanni did excellent with my reactive GSD. He was patient, understanding, and did excellent with her. She had so much fun, he sent plenty of pictures and updates, and she came back super tired! Definitely would recommend and trust him with your furry babies. We will be using him again!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I have previous pet sitting experience through ........, caring for both dogs and cats with overnight stays and drop-in visits, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine and provide the care they need, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, cuddles, or medication with instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you’re back home. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for evening drop-in visits and walks after work, as well as weekends. I understand the importance of consistency and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine whenever possible. My availability is updated regularly, and I’ll always communicate promptly about scheduling. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play, and my friendly Husky, Yunaleska(Yuna Tuna), loves having canine companions. Because Yuna is not spayed, I require male dogs staying in my home to be neutered for everyone’s safety and comfort. My cats are accustomed to dogs and generally prefer to relax in their own space. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any medication instructions. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, you’ll receive regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing they’re safe, happy, and well cared for.
