Safety, attention to individual personalities & (dis)likes, motivations and insecurities, physical and health needs, ,… COMMITTING THESE DETAILS TO MEMORY: JUST WHAT THEY DO. As an ‘owner,’ I sure wish this description was commonplace.”

About: I grew up with all kinds of animals and took care of them when sick or when family or friends were away. I can continue training if needed. I love to take care of fur babies. I can confidently say when you get home your fur babies will be happy! I am a caregiver for the elderly with dementia my schedule varies but it is typically 12-5pm I can adapt to any set of rules you may have for your pets to help them be more comfortable and feel safe while in my care.

“Annette was so great with my dog Nova! Her fenced in yard was perfect for playing and sniffing, two of my dog’s favorite activities! Nova had such a fun filled day and even took a trip to the dog park nearby with Annette and her dog!”

About: Hi! I’m Madison—former shelter/rescue worker turned specialty animal hospital administrator turned full-time WFH corporate girlie and dog mom. With years of hands-on experience handling everything from wiggly puppies to sweet seniors, I bring a calm, confident, and compassionate vibe to every dog I meet. I’ve worked with all temperaments, sizes, and medical needs. Need meds given? No problem. Need someone who won’t freak out over a surprise poop situation? Also no problem. My goal is to keep your pet happy, healthy, and excited to hang with their new bestie. 🐾 I work from home full-time, which allows me to offer flexible pet care! While I do prefer your pet to stay with me so I can give them the best care throughout the day, I can also accommodate daily visits or home stays depending on my work environment and availability. If you’re looking for daily visits or a home stay, I just ask that your pet’s space is comfortable and that I can provide the attention they need while balancing work. I’m dedicated to keeping them happy, entertained, and safe while I’m working! If you have any special requests or need to discuss a specific schedule, don’t hesitate to reach out—I’ll make sure we find the best fit for you and your pet. 🐾 When your pet stays with me, they’ll have their own large indoor private space giving them a quiet, comfortable area to call their own. Whether they want to curl up for a nap or enjoy some playtime, they'll have the freedom to relax in their own area. Since I work from home, I’m around all day to keep them company, give them potty breaks, and provide plenty of attention. If your pet enjoys snuggling, I’m more than happy to share the couch for some extra cozy moments. I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can see how your pet is doing while they’re in their home-away-from-home! Additional information and requirements for boarding: *PLEASE READ* Boarding Requirements: All pets must be up to date on: -Vaccinations -Monthly flea/tick prevention -Monthly heartworm prevention (My personal pets are held to the same standards for everyone's safety) -Crate training is preferred, but flexible based on the dog’s size and needs. -Owners must confirm whether I have permission to take their pet to the vet in case of an emergency. -I remain available via phone or messenger for updates and communication throughout the stay. I am more than happy to take as many photos and videos as you need :) Pet Interaction Policy: While my own dogs will be present in the home, your pet will stay in a separate area and will not interact with them. This is to ensure the safety and comfort of both your pet and mine. Doggy playdates can be arranged based on your pet’s size and temperament.

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, and fish all my life along with other animals. From being responsible for taking them out as a kid, to having my own to care for, and helping out with my family’s dogs I have learned a lot about animals and what it takes to keep them happy and healthy. I know all about special diets and meds as well as routines and special spots and toys. Animals really love me and they usually warm up immediately. They have a sense to them about peoples energies and I think they gravitate to mine. I am a independent contractor with complete control of my schedule. I am in and out of my house throughout the day so really we can work out whatever your needs are and I can plan around you I want your fur baby to feel as comfortable as possible while you are away. I will listen and follow your instructions to a T . I make sure all potty breaks and food are given at the correct time. I will make sure they get plenty of exercise and play time with all the love and attention.

“Angela is very responsive, sends plenty of updates during your dog's stay, and made our pup feel right at home! Plus she has an encyclopedic knowledge of all things canine. She was even able to accommodate a *very* last minute schedule change with no issues. I would absolutely recommend her for any of your doggy related needs!”

About: Hello! I have been working in veterinary medicine since I was 16 years old, whether that be as a kennel technician, mixed practice assistant, ER assistant, general practice technician, or surgical technician. I am currently a rising third year veterinary student at UGA's CVM. Therefore, I have plenty of hands-on experience, including providing medicine by mouth and via injection. I love taking care of your family pets and treating them just as I would my own! I can guarantee that your pet will be in loving, caring hands. I love sending updates and photos to you so that you can see how happy and well your pets are doing. I had to take a break from Rover due to my hours working in emergency medicine/surgery as well as being a full-time veterinary student, and I am eager to start offering my services again this Summer and meet new pets. Due to my current research schedule and my own animals, I am currently not offering house sitting. However, I am eager to perform morning and evening drop-in visits. I may be able to do mid-afternoon drop-ins as well. I am available most weekends and holidays. While I currently do not board animals at my own home because of my own animals, I am happy to accommodate whatever your pet’s needs are in their own home. I may be willing to accommodate daily doggy daycare on the weekends on a case by case basis. Please note that I currently have only 2 cats that live with me (not 3 cats and 1 dog).

“Overall great service! Would definitely book again!”

About: As I get older it has become clear to me that my purpose in life might just be to serve animals. My friends tease me that I am the patron saint of the four-legged. And I'm proud to wear that nickname. I have dogs and cats whom I adore and their safety and well-being and happiness is my main focus in life. Both dogs came to me as abandoned puppies. My cats all appeared on my back porch very feral very scared very hungry and I spent a lot of energy loving them up. All my love and attention towards my animals has come back to me a 1000%. My day to day schedule is my own I am wide open as far as availability goes. I am willing to consider any special needs you might have. Please ask. I can have other dogs in my home. But since I do have two dogs of my own I guess it would need to be determined that they could all get along. My dogs are very friendly. I am more than willing to spend the night in a client's home for the comfort of the dog. But since I do have animals of my own I would not be able to stay in your home 24/7. I would need the flexibility to return home to take care of my own animals. But I am most definitely available to sleep over and return several times during the next day to walk your dog and feed and play with him or her. Also I can tend to any cats in your home. Whatever your needs are, please ask.

About: Not only do I have years of experience, I have experience caring for many different species as well! I've taken care of everything from axolotls to goats to rabbits (and of course cats & dogs). I'm a graduate student on break right now, so I have lots of free time to help out. I’m willing and able to work on most days at most times! I have the utmost respect for peoples' space and belongings, and I will do everything I can to keep things as tidy and organized as possible!

About: I LOVE DOGS! I have my own - a doodle named Bisskit. He's 4 years old, and the light of my life. I believe that I have the ability to form a personal connection with every animal that I meet. I respect animals, because they are loyal and unconditionally loving companions. It is only right that I return that love back to them! I am a college student, but I have a very flexible schedule due to my being in the home stretch of my undergraduate education! Every day is different for me, but I can always make time for your pet! I like to let my dog roam around my apartment freely. I do have a crate which can be utilized, and Bisskit has plenty of toys to share! In your home, I will abide by whatever rules you set for me. I am flexible and open-minded about pet care!
