Pet Sitting

🐾 Pet Sitting in East Cobb, Marietta, GA

Because your pets deserve someone who loves them like you do.

When I’m not behind the camera capturing furry smiles, I’m caring for pets in my own neighborhood by offering personalized, experienced pet sitting exclusively in East Cobb (Marietta, GA). Whether you’re heading out of town or just need a little help with walks, I’m here to make sure your beloved companions are safe, comfy, and cared for like they’re my own.

Why Trust Me?

Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s who I am.

• I’ve had pets my entire life and currently share my home with over 10 animals, including dogs, reptiles, amphibians, guinea pigs, and fish.
• Since 2021, I’ve worked full-time at a pet store, gaining hands-on experience with everything from puppy nutrition to reptile husbandry.
• I understand signs of stress, illness, and environmental needs across a wide variety of species. I don’t blink at a gecko, hiss at a snake, or flinch at a tarantula (ok, maybe just a little, but I’ll still feed it!).

Your pets are family, and I treat them like it with knowledge, respect, and the kind of care they deserve while you’re away.

Here are a few testimonials straight from some of my clients:

🏡 Drop Ins and Dog Walks

I do not offer traditional overnight house sitting. Instead, I provide drop-in care, meaning I visit your home for scheduled care without staying the night.

This structure works especially well for clients who value privacy, don’t have a guest room, or simply prefer not to have someone sleeping in their home. Many of my clients rent and find drop-ins to be the most comfortable option for both them and their pets.

What are drop-ins?

A drop-in is a 30-minute visit (1-hour visits are optional for an additional charge) in your home. You choose how many visits per day you’d like but most clients prefer two visits per day (morning and late afternoon/early evening).

During each visit, care may include:

• Dog walks and/or potty breaks
• Feeding and fresh water
• Litter box cleaning (for cats)
• Playtime, enrichment, and companionship
• Medications (if applicable)
• Plenty of cuddles, kisses, and forehead smooches

Updates

You control how often you receive updates. Most clients prefer one detailed end-of-day update with photos and videos covering everything that happened during the day’s visits. The reason for this is my days start quite early (sometimes as early as 6am) and clients prefer not to be woken up during their trip.

My Drop-In Schedule

☀️ Morning Drop-In | 7-8 AM

• Morning walk with dogs/ litter scooping for cats
• Breakfast if applicable
• Fresh water bowls
• Lots of butt scratches and forehead kisses
• Then I head off to my full-time job

☁️ Afternoon/Evening Drop-In | 4-5 PM

• Another walk with dogs/ more litter scooping for cats
• Dinner if applicable

🌙 Optional Late Evening Drop-In | 8-9 PM

Late evening visits are available upon request and are most commonly requested for dogs who need an extra potty break.

• Final potty break
• Playtime or gentle body massages
• Final check of pets and home

Midday Availability

You may notice there are no visits scheduled between 8 AM–4 PM. This is due to my full-time job. I do, however, routinely have Tuesdays and Saturdays off, and can often accommodate an additional midday drop-in on those days.
