Cat Sitting in White Pines

“Sara is an animal whisperer. Look no further for peace of mind when you’re out of town. Her updates are perfect and your fur babies and home will be in excellent hands. We were nervous as Rover is mostly for dogs but Sara also has a cat. We couldn’t be happier with the love and care she gave our 20yr. old cat Murphy! She will be our 1st choice every time?. Thanks Sara!”

“Emily is great! She was very attentive with our cats and they warmed up to her quickly. She loves animals and took great care of them while we were out of town. We def noticed a difference when we came home vs leaving them alone or just having a neighbor check on them. Would def recommend Emily and book her again!”

“Susanna and her husband are the epitome of great pet sitters. We left very last minute for a family emergency and they both took on the job and did great at it also. Going above and beyond to make sure my house was cared for while we were gone when that wasn’t part of the job description. Definitely rebooking with her for our next family vacation. Thank you guys!”

About: I have owned fur babies a majority of my life and love caring for them. For the 3 years, I volunteered as an in home foster for a local dog rescue and have experience with anything from the shy/timid personalities to the energetic playful personalities that these babies have. I have my own dogs who welcome other 4 legged visitors and enjoy running around the house and yard playing....but they also enjoy cuddling and nap time. I have a fenced area in my front yard where they can enjoy fresh air and lay in the sunshine. Your pets will be loved on and pampered while here. I have experience in giving medications as I have had to medicated some of the fosters that’s i have had. I do have crates available for those who need it. I work from home so they would not be left alone for long periods and would be taken outside frequently. I currently work from home so the fur babies would not be left for long periods. My daughter lives with me and helps care for the dogs. I have 2 small fenced areas in my yard but I do not leave any dog outside alone. I also have fences and crates available for inside for nights and when I have to run errands.

About: I am an experienced animal lover who would love to provide whatever attention and care your dog(s), cat(s) or other furry family members need! I have 4 fur babies of my own. I have 3 dogs, 1 chocolate lab mix and 2 medium terrier mixes. My dogs range from a high energy & fetch obsessed to a senior who just wants to take a leisurely stroll and get some cuddles. So, I'm prepared for it all :) I also have a cat that basically runs the show. I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters over the last few years. Most commonly performed dog walking, feeding, kennel clean up, and dog interactions. I'd love to come sit and play with your pet or take them on a nice walk, whatever you (and your pet) prefer! Hope to meet you and your pet soon! I currently work full time so I am available for evening drop-ins and walks between 5pm-10pm. I am available for in-home pet sitting with advance notice. Not currently caring for pets in my home. I would care for a clients pet however they prefer. I currently care for the pets in my home with various enrichment: slow feeders, treat puzzles, long sniffy walks, plenty of love and attention. We also take breaks when over stimulated.

“We appreciate the peace of mind that comes with the care and communication that Kelly provides. Highly recommend reaching out to her to care for your pet(s).”

About: I am dedicated to learning your pets needs. I have two dogs of my own one being a labrador mix who is two years old and a Pomeranian that’s 3 years old. I enjoy giving yummy treats and belly rubs! I am gentle and can move slower for pets who are senior. I make sure that during my walks with your stress that they are receiving a full exercise to promote a healthy lifestyle. I make sure to feed on time while also following any dietary needs. Though I’m not a certified trainer, I can still help sitting, staying, crate training, and more. i’m PATIENT. Accidents happen. I can also clean up your pets mess if they had to really go! Overall, one of my top skills is showing up on time, following instructions and making your pet my bestfriend. P.S. Communication is crucial to me. I like to send updates and pictures of your pet when they’re with me so you know that they’re safe and having fun. I recently graduated from college which gives me more than plenty of time to play and care for your pet! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to manage my free hours accordingly and organized. Which helps me make sure that your pets that are on my schedule NEVER EVER forgotten! How I care for my pets in my home or in my clients home is I make sure to mainly prioritize building trust. It is crucial that the first time I’m meeting a pet that they have a clear view of me and what I have on me so that they won’t feel scared or become anxious. My pets are all separated by the end of the day but together during the day. This means that all of my pets have a crate of their own, my pets have also a set schedule where they go out to use the potty and a feeding time schedule that I have hanging on the fridge. I also make sure that my pets are bathed often to avoid build up or becoming matted. Most importantly, I always have toys and treats with me!

“I have had Alexis sit 2 times for us. She does a great job and my kitties love her. We will definitely have her in the future.”

About: I love all animals. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and even rodents (not pictured). Of course I have the most experience with cats and dogs. Animals have been part of my family for as long as I can remember. I’ve rescued a baby bird, sheltered and fed litters of kittens and gave them homes, and saved a puppy from the deadly Parvo virus by nursing her back to health. I’ve house trained many cats and dogs as well. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to rescue an animal. Pets are a crucial part of the family, they’re the glue that holds everyone together. They should be loved and cared for the same way as children and you can trust that I will give them the care they need. I am off work Wed, Thurs, and Friday so I can definitely do housesitting then but I can do drop-in visits to walk and feed your dog any time before 11 am or after 9 pm throughout the week/weekend. Unfortunately I will not be caring for other pets in my home because I have a Siberian husky and 2 longhair domestic cats in a very small upstairs apartment. I can, however, provide other services like pet walking, overnight stays at your home, and/or daily check-ins. No matter, I vow to respect your privacy and personal belongings and love your animals as my own.

“I am amazed by Emmalyn! I just moved and i found her 2 days before my trip and she was the best! Very communicative, very detailed and she took the best care of my cats! Very loving. She also sent some extra videos and pictures. I will be hiring her again.”

About: I have loved animals all my life. When times are Ruff I know all the good stuff. From dogs to frogs I’ve done it all! I am a teacher in the spring and am free all summer long! Any time you need something just give me a call. Every day of the week! I love all pets. I want to make sure not just the animal is comfortable, but the house owner as well. No animal left behind!

“Lauren definitely cares about our cat’s well being and communicates well. We are so grateful she is around to help. It’s nice to have someone we can trust with Leo. Thank you!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors who need extra patience and care. I do daily dog walks for a few families and the family I dog sit for most often actually has six dogs (3 Golden-doodles & 3 Chows), so I’m very comfortable with multiple pets. I also have a German Shepherd at home who has anxiety, so I’m patient and good at keeping pets calm and happy. I’m a second-year nursing student, so I’m used to being attentive, responsible, and caring for others. I’m currently in nursing school, but I only have to go in on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9am to 2:30pm. Outside of that, my schedule is super flexible and I love spending my free time caring for pets! I care for pets like they’re my own! I follow your instructions closely, keep their routine consistent, and make sure they get plenty of attention & playtime. I always keep the home clean, respect your space, and give regular updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I use to work at a boarding place so i know how to handle all sizes of dogs. I also use to work at the Gaston County animal shelter so i’m use to handling animals i just met im use to handling scared or stressed out animals. I have my own animals that i care for and i love working with animals. I love going on long walks and being outside. Pet care fits into my life 24/7. I care for my pets in my home i wake up let them out in the morning feed them let them back outside to play for 30 minutes to an hour and then i bring them back in let them cool off do what i need to do and then let them all back out to play for a little bit.

About: I’ve grown up having one or more pets in my household my whole life and then began my journey of taking care of other people’s furry friends at the age of 15. I have a friend who rescues animals and I help her all the time to nurture them back to health and show them the love and care that they deserve. I also have a lot of experience pet sitting for many animals at a time because both of my friends have 10 or more animals that I sit for when they are away. Im also well equip with puppy behaviors. I currently have 6 dogs that I have raised and taken care of since birth. They are now all 5 years old. I have also helped take care of many litters of puppies through friends and family. I also have experience with elderly dogs who have trouble getting around, and trouble maker dogs like my own that bring chaos. I am a college student and I will be going to school on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s for 3 hours. On Saturday 11-7 and Sunday 1-7 I potentially work and I n Sunday’s I attend Church from 11-12:30. If I’m sitting at your home and I’m out of the house, just know that your pet is my first priority, and will be taken care of prior to and after all or any activities that I may have going on. I have 6 dogs and they are not all social so I know how to act in any stressful situation and how to accommodate to their needs. I have experience with pets who don’t get along with each other or who are not as social with humans and I know how to detect animal language to help protect them, myself, and others around them. Their safety and happiness is my biggest priority. I am a very clean, organized and planned person so I love to know all the do’s and don’t’s when coming into a new home. I love to send pictures, videos, and updates of your furry friend(s) to ensure your comfort and happiness while they are in my care. I have always had a strong passion to love and care for all animals, even the wild and crazy ones. I hope that comforts you in knowing that your fur babies are in safe hands and loved.

“Thank you so much for taking such good care of my cats! You always provide thorough and lively reports of how they are doing. I look forward to reading how you describe them!”

About: I have two dogs of my own. One named Luna who is a German Shepard lab mix. The other one is a boxer lab mix named Dolly. They are both 8 years old. I also used to dog sit for people at their homes. I love animals and like to spend time with them. I used to dog sit for people and take care of their animals and make sure they were taken care of. My dogs are spoiled. I make sure they are well fed and have enough water and toys and I take them to the parks on the weekends. I used to dog sit for people and take care of their animals so I would just follow the schedule they wrote out for me.

About: I’m great with any stage of life for fur babies. Animals have been a part of my 41 years of life and it’s my passion I work full time afternoons. I can do anything mornings and early afternoons or on my way to work. I also can send pictures of my wards if wanted to ease the worry. I have a fenced in back yard as well as a front yard that is also fenced. I have a small dog and a few cats that can be separated if need be.

About: I’ve had my own dogs since I was 16! I’ve taken care of friends dogs while on deployment, vacation, etc. I enjoy being in the company of animals and would be grateful to take care of yours!

I’m available every weekday afternoon and evening and all day on weekends. I have a huge fenced in backyard for your dog/s to play. I also have two toddlers who love dogs, if your dog doesn’t care for kiddos I can keep them separated!
