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.

Cassidy was wonderful with our baby!! She was very caring with him, took pictures of him and sent them to us. Took him on a walk, as long as he would walk, catered to his special dietary needs. She loved him like he was hers! We will definitely be calling on her again! I highly recommend her, she has the perfect setup at her home and is the perfect foster mom ♥!

Tom and Nikki were Fabiola’s sitters for our miniature schnauzer puppy! We had to be gone for a week and it was killing me to leave him with someone. They blew up my phone with adorable pictures and videos. My trip was so much more enjoyable knowing they were being so loving with him. We will definitely use them the next time we go out of town.

Shelby took such good care of my girl Luna. She took her on walks every day and made sure to send me pictures to show me how much fun Luna was having. She also gave me updates 1-2 times a days to keep me at ease while I was away. You could tell Shelby is very passionate about pet sitting for animals. I will be rebooking with Shelby in the future.

To whom it may concern, It has been my privilege to know Annette Paskiewicz as a dear friend for the past 30 years. I’ve watched her raise her own dogs who have been very well behaved which I attribute to her caring and consistent behavior. She is calm and caring in her approach which, I think, is key in handling all manner of dog personalities. I trust her with my own dogs and would not hesitate to leave them in her care. Anyone who chooses to leave their dog in her care can relax. She loves dogs and knows how to be attentive and firm. Sincerely, Jena Guerin

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

What a wonderful person to trust with my pets while traveling. Xionella is a very gentle and caring pet sitter. Both of my small dogs stayed with her for almost a week and were relaxed and happy on pickup day. She sent frequent updates and some of the most cute pictures I have ever seen of my pups. I recommend booking with Xionella and I know I will for my next trip.

Kristen started with a nice pre-stay meet-and-greet with our dog and her and her dogs. Kristen kept us updated on our dog while he was in her care. Our dog enjoyed playing with Kristen’s dogs, and sounds like he settled into a good routine pretty quickly. We felt confident that our dog was well looked after, was showed affection, and was comfortable and happy during his stay.

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!

SK is an experienced and committed caregiver to any pet that crosses her path! Whether that be a foster animal from a shelter, family pet, or stray. I have so much trust in her as a caregiver and as a person. She watched over my cat while I was out of town and it was so nice to not have to worry while I was gone. She went above and beyond regular care for him. She sent me pictures and updates while I was away which really made me feel comfortable. She has a great energy and is very genuine. Her experience is extensive and she has the ability to watch over any pet, regardless of their needs. I would recommend her to anyone!

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, squirrels, chickens, geese, reptiles and horses before so hardly any animals are new to me! I have had pets all my life and just about every breed/size of cat and dog you can think of. I have had experience with puppies including training and elderly pets with medication needs. I am a PhD student and am just teaching one class at the moment for an hour on Tues/thurs so I have plenty of time for any of your pets needs! I have access to a walking trail beside my apartment and can walk your fur babies anytime. There’s plenty of grass space outside my apartment for potty breaks as well. My apartment has a fenced in place for dogs to run around but will only take your pup there if you say it’s okay around other dogs! I have two sweet kitties in my home that are very used to dogs. I can also fit a dog crate comfortably if needed.

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.
