Kayla set my mind at ease. My Chihuahua is 18 and on meds. She is very good about everything! Her children are helpful too. I can't say enough of how great she is. My dog was so calm and taken care of as one of her own pets.

Kendall + Darbie are great! We set up a meet and greet for Phineas and as soon I got there I knew they would be a great fit for him. Throughout his stay they were consistent with spending updates and photos of Phineas. I trusted them completely and would 100% recommend them as your dogs babysitter!

About: I have taken care of 3 dogs for multiple nights in a row various times. I love hanging out with all of them and it’s fun to watch them play and get along. I am usually taking care of my Great Pyrenees/Australian Shepard. He’s the most friendly dog I’ve ever had. I also take care of golden doodles and mini Australian Shepard. I love all dogs!!! I am an Econ student at UGA and I am only taking 1 class this semester. I have lots of time on my hands and would love to fill my schedule with more friends to take care of! Love being outdoors. I have an awesome home in a fenced in complex. I have 2 bedrooms for pets that prefer privacy, and I welcome all animals to explore the whole house wherever they please. We will constantly go on walks and hang out. I treat every animal with care as if they were my own dog. Will follow your schedule however you design.

Becky was awesome! I reached out last minute and was thrilled she was available and even able to accommodate our change in pick- up time. She sent pictures of our dog, which is always appreciated to see how he is doing! Definitely recommend her and will reach out to Becky next time we are in need ?!

Bailey was an excellent host. Earl was well cared for during his stay and calm upon his return home. We'll certainly consider Bailey's services the next time we need a space for Earl.

I have been friends with Kyle for several years, and one of the first things I noticed about him was how much he cares for dogs and how well he works with them. I have gone on several hiking trips and walks with Kyle and his dogs and, in addition to how well trained his dogs were, I was surprised by how well he was able to manage his dogs along with mine and those belonging to other members of our group. I think Kyle would make a great dog walker and dog sitter and there is no one else I would trust more to look after my own dog.

Shelby has watched my dogs on numerous occasions. She does an excellent job and always makes sure that they are taken care of. My dogs are always happy to see her and her dog Ranger! She has great veterinary knowledge and I wouldn’t trust anyone else but her to stay with my dogs!!

Xionella was an angel. Our original sitter cancelled last minute and she was so quick to help us out. She's the only sitter who offered to meet at a dog park so our fur babies could warm up to her before we dropped them off. She was even kind enough to send us updates, photos, and video chat! I loved that she took them to the dog park, was extremely patient and understanding, and careful when administering our senior pup's meds and safety care. Will be back for future playdates with Groot!

We have had Sydney take care of our dogs for many years. We appreciate how much she loves and understands animals and how she treats our dogs like her own. One of our dogs is anxious and needy but that never bothered Sydney, she handles him like a pro. She is very energetic just like our dogs and is great with potty training and giving meds. We get pictures of our dogs and/or updates on longer trips, and it’s always nice to come home to a house that doesn’t have hair balls floating along the floor or dirty water/food bowls waiting for us. We really can’t imagine anyone else taking care of our fur babies.

Eliot was awesome, and will be our go to guy from now on. Pepper is a sweetheart but can be a handful, and he was totally unphased by Pepper’s quirks. He met up with us ahead of time to introduce our two dogs and was communicative throughout the weekend that we were away. I’d recommend Eliot to anybody!

Annette is a dedicated and doting dog mom and sitter. She's kept my dog TJ several times and he always come home happy and worn out from his play date with his BFF, Bodhi. In fact, I'm not sure TJ wouldn't rather stay with Annette most times when I come to pick him up! Her home is friendly and open to dogs, having a fenced in yard and close to a dog park, if that interests you. I trust Annette implicitly with my dogs and know they're in good hands while I'm away.

Raegan has been a caregiver and animal lover her entire life. During her lifetime, we have had a zoo at our home from all the pets she has lovingly taken in. She prays for a dog and one shows up the next day. She dreams of a cat and, guess what, one shows up a few days later out of nowhere. She loves animals and they love her. She is a pre-vet student and is very responsible and reliable. I would trust her to care for my pets over anyone else I know.

About: I am originally from England and currently a student here in Athens! My family have always been animal loves and I was fortunate enough to have a variety of animals growing up from dogs, cats, birds and gerbils! I currently have two cats and regularly dog sit and walk for my father-in-law who has a German Shepherd mix and an American bulldog mix! My partner is also animal crazy and was brought up basically on a farm with more animals then could ever be imagined from dogs to deers to goats. I have also helped out at dog sanctuaries in Greece and enjoy just being around animals. If you have any questions please feel free to message! I've recently just moved to the US so I have plenty of free time while I settle and I don't think there is any better way to settle in than with some animals! I have two dog-friendly indoor cats that mind their own business. I have a great dog park near my home I enjoy going on long walks and hikes too if your dog enjoys that! I have a crate if that is required for your pet

We had a wonderful experience with Amelia, not only because she could take care of Doggy during Christmas Holidays, which is not really easy to get, but also because she is the most amazing pet lover you could ever find. Doggy wouldn’t have been happier and more comfortable than he was while staying with Amelia, she treated him as a pet of hers, with the same love and dedication just as much as with her own pets. During our days out of the country, Amelia kept us updated everyday regarding Doggy’s activities and mischief, she shared with us pictures and videos, we realized that fortunately Doggy was not missing us at all!! Thank you Amelia!
