Are you looking for professional pet care that gives you peace of mind? Would you like to leave home for a few hours, a few days, or longer, and know that your precious pets are being loved and cared for (and maybe even spoiled a little!!)?

Pets are a very important part of our families and our lives. They bring joy, laughter, and loyalty without asking for anything in return. Let us take care of your Furry Friends while you are away on business or pleasure, whether for a few hours, few days, or longer! Our services include daytime and/or overnight pet sitting in your home, dog walking, litter box clean up, brushing, feeding, medication administration, and simply spending time with your beloved pets.

We don’t require the pets to be spayed/neutered after a certain age in order for us to interact with them.

We don’t require any extra vaccinations such as Bordetella and Influenza for us to interact with pets (although we are very careful that we don’t accidentally spread anything contagious if one of our clients’ pets is coughing, sneezing, or has a runny nose.

We care for pets with special needs such as foster pets or pets with one or more medications to take (without charging for each administration of each type of medication).

Since we go to the clients’ home, clients do not have to pay additional fees to drop off or pick up their pet during peak hours, off hours, or have to wait until the vet or boarding facility is open.

There are no extra fees for puppy lattes, kitty snacks, and other special requests.

While there, we are also happy to check for mail and packages, water your plants or garden, rotate lighting, and roll out/roll back the trash can on trash days, leaving you with peace of mind knowing things are being properly taken care of at home! We care for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish, birds, and frogs, and look forward to caring for your pets!

“Making Life Easier” – this is our slogan and our mission; to work hard every single day in providing unmatched quality pet care through reliable, honest, and professional services for each and every client and each and every pet.

Michele Cascone

Hi, my name is Michele Cascone. I have been an animal lover my entire life and currently reside in the Acworth/Dallas area with my husband and five fur babies.
I have had the pleasure of working with Linda and the Odds & Ends Crew for almost five years now as a Pet Care Associate interacting and caring for animals when our clients were called away. It has been my absolute favorite job. In addition, I was the Records and Training Manager, taking care of various office duties to help things run more efficiently. In September of 2023, I semi-retired keeping my job as the Records and Training Manager where I interact with our wonderful clients making sure all pertinent forms, such as Service Contracts, are up-to-date, distributing Drug Free Workplace information to new hires, posting DFW Newsletters on a monthly basis, charting the logistics of pet care associates and clients, and various other assignments that are requested of me.

My name is Melissa and I have worked for Odds & Ends, LLC for almost two years. I am originally from California, and have lived in Georgia for seven years. I am a single mom to a 4-year-old little girl who is my absolute world. I have always had a passion for animals and have had everything from goats, a miniature donkey to cats and dogs. My main goal is to provide all the love and care there is to each and every pet as well as any animal. If they’re happy, I’m happy!

Judy Andrew

When I saw the ad for a Pet Care Associate, I was ecstatic. I thought, “That’s EXACTLY what I want!” I had retired from the corporate world several years before and needed to be more useful to others while augmenting my retirement income. It’s been a perfect fit for me since I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life.

I live on a horse farm that rescues and rehabilitates horses from difficult circumstances. Graduates of rehab may join our lesson program teaching children and adults English riding skills and horsemanship, Those horses that are not a good match for the lesson program are put out to pasture with their buddies but still receive the love and care- just no riding.

I’m very thankful for my family. My siblings live close by and my adult children are successful and kind. They’ve carved out good lives for themselves. As have I.

I am currently the happiest I’ve ever been and love to spread the joy. I live surrounded by beauty with my four previously stray cats and one rescued pony. And I have a job that I love where I can do good things for animals and their people every day. (Did I mention how much I appreciate the amazing, caring Crew I work with?)

Lyn Andradzki

I grew up on a farm of 155 acres in Euharlee, Georgia with the normal animals – cows, chickens, horses, pigs, bunnies, dogs and cats. My oldest cat lived to be 22 years old and second cat lived to her 19th birthday. I have been working in healthcare for over 25 taking care of people. I take care of everyone as if they were my own. The one word to describe me best is: positive.

Haze Medley

My husband, Mark, and I married in mid-November 2021, and moved from Nashville to Cartersville in the first week of March 2022.
By mid-month, we had a new house in a new town, but we both knew we needed (fur) babies to truly make our house a home.
So, we adopted Luther and Riley Ray. After taking the first six – nine months to settle into our new life, I began to look for a local job that would allow me to become a part of the community.
As an avid hiker and fitness enthusiast, I wanted something that would allow me to be active.
Something that would allow my caretaking personality to shine.
In my home state of Pennsylvania, I had been a volunteer for several no-kill animal shelters and also provided foster-mom and special needs services to a number of kitties over the years.
So, when I saw the ad for a Pet Care Associate with Odds & Ends, I knew I had found the perfect fit.

I am an artist that loves making things, watching birds and butterflies in the backyard, and growing flowers. My husband and I have one teenage daughter and enjoy going to movies and concerts together. I have always been an animal lover, especially cats and kittens. And I’ve always taken care of my friend’s pets when they needed a pet sitter, so finding a job taking care of pets seemed only natural.
