About: I have always loved being around all animals, I got my first dog when I was 6, who was my best friend. I loved taking her on walks and teaching her tricks. I grew up with pets, and I now have my own cat, Frankie. Once I was 17, I had family, friends, and friends of friends/family ask me to pet sit. I love pet sitting, being able to play with and take care of fur babies so I can give them some love while they’re missing you! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to have fun with your fur babies! I am free any day of the week for overnight sitting, or drop-ins! I try my best to keep your pet’s schedule the same as it is with you! Whether it’s feeding, medication, walks, naps, anything they usually do at a certain time. I always love cuddling and playing, anything I can do to make them happy and loved!
About: Hi! My name is Brandy and I’m a pet lover obviously! I love my pets and will love your pets just the same as long as they are with me. I’m a mother of a 5 year old human baby and a mother of a 3 month old German Shepherd named Genji! We just moved out here from Greenville and I’m so excited to start sitting again. I’m currently at home with my son for the summer so, I have a consistent schedule to take care of your fur baby! If I do start work it will be from home Food is given twice a day (breakfast and dinner) unless requested more or less by the owner. Potty breaks are consistent here until we finish the floors. For adults I would say potty breaks at average of every 2-3 hours
“Hannah communicated with us to give updates! Our pups for the first time didn't have to suffer for our out of town trips. They were safe and happy. Hannah is great and really understood how much our pups mean to us.”
“She was very good to the kitties while she was taking care of them. Everything was squared away when I got back and all directions I left for her were followed. She went beyond by sending cute photos and loving on the kitties while I was away. Definitely will ask Mary again next time I need someone to take care of the kitties.”
“Bry was great with my dog that is a little bit scared and standoffish with people.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. Through trial and error I learned what it’s means to have a friend and be a friend to our furry companions. During my navy career I’ve often been called upon to help my friends by looking over their pets and given there were long training or deployments I’d have to take them in temporarily as one of my own. I realized that they helped me as much as I helped them. I trained my baby since abandoned at four weeks old and from the beginning accident puddle of the floor I was able to established a firm and consistent behavior to communicate with the needs of animals. I obsess and research about animals so I can find a better way of conflicting matters such as behavior and diet. Trust is hard to earn. For repeating clients I can maintain a log of all activity from fun time to health monitoring. I can make a copy if needed for your own personal records. I currently work full time but given the state of the world I will soon be having more time dedicated to protecting and helping our fur babies. I care for my clients based on their specific needs and attention first. Whatever is left I am the type to nurture and protect as if they were one of my own. Is your pet afraid of thunder? Don’t worry, I will cuddle up with them to ensure them there is nothing to be afraid of. I know of essential oils and scents to help with anxiety and repel from making an accident. Did it fail? I have a remedy to ensure accidents are cleaned with no damage or odor. I enjoy animal photography so if your own anxiety is high. I will send constant photo and video updates to give goi peace of mind. Or something cute to post on your social media. We’ll have adventures and exercise to ensure they do not become restless.
“Kristie was absolutely wonderful to work with! She treated our little cat like her own. She sent daily updates and photos, and always went above and beyond. She will do an amazing job with your four legged loved ones. We will be using her services again in the future!”
“Payton happily cared for our two kitties for the week we were out of town. She also brought in our mail and put out garbage can for collection! It was nice to know our kitties were in good hands and it was fun to see photos from her visits.”
About: I've owned 2 dogs and 2 cats since I was 7 years old, and have always been the primary caretaker in my house. I'm very familiar with walking dogs, bathing them, playing with them, and caring for them. I am also very comfortable with changing cat litter, brushing them, and playing with them as well. I've been employed by family to stay at their home to cat sit, and I am very flexible with location, services, and time. I own a vehicle, and have a very open schedule for most of the summer. I take care of my own pets daily, and can very easily take care of other pets. I am able to drive anywhere in my radius, and have a very open schedule to pet parent's needs. I can walk dogs, change cat litter daily or whenever preferenced, play with cats and dogs, brush and clean cats and dogs, and stay overnight with cats and dogs. I can also feed them according to whichever schedule is set. I can't have pets cared for in my home, as I own 3 already, one being a senior who doesn't do well with other pets.

About: Hi! My name is Baylee and I am a mom of 3 perfect little kiddos and 1 perfect little dachshund fur baby.

I would love to take care of your animals so please don’t hesitate to message me to ask any questions!! Thank you and have a fur-tastic day😉 I am currently a stay at home mom and full time student. While my kids are in school I’m looking to make a little extra money and would have plenty of time for your pets.

“Agnesa is amazing! Patient and kind with my 2 dogs. She has been consistent and reliable. We are sticking with her for our weekly recurring visits!”
About: I have two dogs, one cat, and a duck that I have experience with taking care of. I have also been dog sitting for about two years. I am currently working part time, but would be able to check in on pets in the mornings and when I get off work. I am usually open on weekends as well. I would make sure they stay in their respective area and keep the area clean. I would make sure that doors stay locked and everyone stays safe.
