About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and grew up with both dogs, cats, and more so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I’ve handled everything from daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure the pets feel safe and comfortable. I do have two sugar gliders currently, so I’m used to caring for animals that need extra attention and specific routines. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet like they are my own! I’m available most weekends (Friday–Sunday) with flexible scheduling to fit your needs. I also have some availability on weekday mornings before 1 PM for drop ins or walks. Perfect for weekend getaways or busy schedules! I follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress free! In your home, I stick to all feeding, walks, and care instructions while giving plenty of attention and affection to your fur babies. In my home, I provide a safe and calm environment with lots of love, playtime, and supervision. I do have a backyard, though it is not fully fenced, so all outdoor time is carefully supervised. I also live in a safe, walkable neighborhood that’s great for regular walks. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, happy, and cared for just like they’re my own!

About: I've cared for dogs my entire life, having learned about pet health through years of experience with behavior, illnesses, basic pet care (flea and tick control and heartworms) and medicine distribution. I currently have 10 of my own in a home shared with my parents. I have dogs that range from 25-150 pounds, so no dog is too small or too large! I have a hearty desire to ensure your pets are cared for just like they are my own! NOTE: I wish to visit your pet before your booking begins to ensure that we get along well and that you, the pet-owner, can show me the basic ropes (where food is located, what a routine day is for your dog or dogs, etc.) I WILL watch multiple dogs for you! I am a full time pet care provider and groomer. I do have a part time job that is only a few days a week, for a few hours. I have animals in a fenced yard as well as on a wireless fence with collar. I do not take pets into my home for sitting, but I gladly come to them.

About: I’ve had cats since I was very young. I’ve had my fair share of litter training, brushing, and dealing with scratches. I currently have 4 inside and 2 outside cats not including 5 inside kittens that I care for so I definitely don’t shy away from cats!

“Caitlin is very communicative and helpful. I will be utilizing her services in the future.”

About: I have grown up around pets, including dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, etc...but my most favorite are DOGS 🐕 of course! (We can all agree...) I have an affinity and a knack for "winning them over" and LOVE to talk to them, understand their behavior, read their signals, and act accordingly. I am extremely intuitive and high-energy. The combination of these two makes me ideal for dog & cat sitting, because when they're with me, they're going to have fun and be understood! 🐾 I also babysit (children) quite often, so I completely understand that a pet is your CHILD. I have utmost patience and respect for these furry children. Parent certified and approved over here 🙌🏼 Also, it’s worth noting, I communicate and I send pics. There's no reason to be out of the loop. #pleasebecool If you have questions, 🗨 just ask. I LOVE spending TIME with dogs, taking them on quality walks and runs, 🏃🏼‍♀️ or even on special car trips to parent-approved areas! 🚗 ☀️ As long as they are in my care I will make sure they get a lot of love and exercise, and YOU will get lots of picture updates about the fun they're having. I look forward to caring for your beloved friend! Send me a message and we can set up a time to meet-n-greet and further discuss your needs. 🐾 Some of the following will be: Is your dog potty trained?  What commands do they respond to? 
 Any allergies?  Any behavioral issues? I’m currently working part-time, and dogsitting is one of my ‘gigs’ so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I work online from home mostly, but if I’m on the go, I am never gone longer than ~ 3 hours. ⏰ If allowed, I am more than happy to take your fur baby with me. I usually say “if mom or dad are going on vacation, you get a vacation too!” so they are free to tag along and adventure with me on errands, to the beach, or to a friend’s house if they are friendly and so-inclined. I love giving dogs the opportunity to socialize, but only if it’s allowed. 🐕 I prefer to house-sit in the dog’s familiar environment, because they are so much more relaxed in their own home versus if they are introduced to a new place with unfamiliar smells, etc. I have plenty of referrals and recommendations to attest to my trustworthiness. Basically, I'll treat your home like a stellar AirBnb hotel maid guest, sans cleaning fee 🧼

About: I’ve taken care of my families and my own dog for 5 years now. I mostly deal with larger breed dogs but I’m also open to smaller breeds as well. I often take care of my sisters 3 dogs while she’s out of town as well as my own dog that I care for full time! I’m fairly flexible when it comes to caring for your fur babies. Just let me know what time and I’ll see what I can work out for you! I’m also open to overnights on the weekends if needed! I have a large years with a line I can attach to the collar so your pup can freely roam while still staying in the yard and away from the street. I have a dog that can keep yours some company as well as a few cats that aren’t too afraid of dogs.

About: 🐾 Growing up in Mississippi, animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and currently have 5 fur babies of my own. I was raised around German Shepherds and have extensive experience with large, intelligent breeds that require consistency, patience, and confidence. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and care, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. In addition to my love for animals, I’m currently a nursing student, which has strengthened my attention to detail, responsibility, and commitment to providing quality care. I understand how important it is to follow routines, monitor, and communicate clearly with pet parents. I know leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision, and I don’t take that trust lightly. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care and treat every pet like one of my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m used to staying organized and managing responsibilities, which helps me ensure every pet receives the care and attention they deserve. Since pet care is already a regular part of my life, adding your furry family member to my routine feels natural and enjoyable. Safety is always my top priority. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, and any special needs before care begins. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise requirements, and household rules. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times and closely supervise pets during walks, playtime, and outdoor activities. As a nursing student, I’m detail-oriented and comfortable monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident that their furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for.
