Angela was great with our pup during a stressful week for him. She cared for him following a dental procedure and through the hurricane storms. We were so relieved he was in good hands.

About: While in my care, you can be sure your pup will be spoiled with undivided love + attention. Whether we are lounging in the yard, out for a walk, or getting belly rubs on the bed, your fur-baby and I will be sure to send you photos throughout their stay to show you how much fun we are having! I have a dog and cat (and daughter!) of my own and my husband and I work from home full time, so your pet will never be lonely. Visitors will be treated the same as family members. They will receive lots of attention and have full access to our home and fenced in yard

So kind to nervous dog parents! Blue had a blast. She took her to work at the very clinic she was adopted from and we could pick her up any time that day. Blue was worn out afterwards and obviously had a good time!

I was a bit nervous about leaving my Doodle with separation anxiety (for me as well as the dog) but Jonathan made it all good. The "meet and greet" at the dog park assured both of us that his and my dog were going to get along splendidly. I appreciated the great communication and pics that Jonathan sent to reassure me that all was well during the stay.

Stacey did a wonderful job taking care of my Chorkie puppy Max! She was in constant communication and sent the cutest pics of Max each day. He looked to be having fun and feeling at home which was great as it was my first time leaving him with a sitter. I know that she could’ve handled any issues that came up, will definitely call her again next time I need a dog sitter!

About: Hi, my name is Kenzie. I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely love spending time with them. I’m all about creating a calm, happy space where pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their people are away. What makes me different is how naturally I connect with animals and how much real experience I have. I’ve pet‑sat for lots of families with all kinds of pets and personalities, and I’m really good at helping them feel comfortable quickly. I also babysit, so families trust me to be responsible and respectful in their home. I’m easygoing, reliable, and I always make sure every pet gets plenty of love and attention. I just graduated from UGA, so I have a lot of free time right now and would dedicate all of it to your pet. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so taking care of them never feels like “work” to me. I’m flexible throughout the day and can easily fit walks, playtime, feeding, and whatever routine your pet needs into my schedule. When I’m taking care of pets in a client’s home, I keep things super simple and respectful. I follow whatever routine you already have in place, keep your space clean, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and not stressed. I’m good at sticking to feeding times, walks, litter box care, and any little details you want done a certain way. I’m calm, patient, and I always let your pet set the pace. At my place, pets have plenty of room to hang out, explore, and get cozy. It’s a clean, safe space with no chaos, and I’m always paying attention to doors, windows, and anything that could be a safety issue. I love having animals around, so they get lots of attention, cuddles, and a relaxed environment where they can just be themselves. Your pet’s comfort is the main thing I focus on, and I make sure they feel happy and secure the whole time.

About: Hello! My name is Gina and I am very excited to be a part of this community. I have years of experience with dog walking, pet feeding, and boarding pets. I have house & pet sat multiple times throughout the years and I absolutely love it. To be honest, I cannot afford a pet myself at the moment, so in the meantime I hope you'll share yours with me! Also I work from my computer, so my schedule is very flexible. Which means more time to spend with your fur babies. I am very responsible, friendly, and believe open communication is the ticket. I do not smoke, and have a clean record. I have my own vehicle. And most importantly, I can't wait to meet you!

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and intention I bring to every pet I watch. I treat animals like they’re my own, paying close attention to their routines, comfort, and unique personalities. I have experience caring for pets in multi-animal homes, so I’m confident managing different temperaments and making sure everyone feels safe and loved. I also prioritize clear communication, sending regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and at ease while you’re away. I work remotely with a relaxed schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m happy to care for your pets in your home to help them stick to their normal routine, or they’re welcome to stay with me and my dog-friendly cat, Nova. Either way, your pets will have plenty of attention, comfort, and companionship while you’re away. I work remotely with a relaxed schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day.

A week ago today, I left my "Furry Baby", Dora, in the care of Ms Annette for 10 days With some anxiety because this was Dora's First Boarding experience. Upon return from My trip I saw that there was absolutely no need to be anxious. Dora was well cared for Emotionally and Physically. Ms Annette is Truly a "STAR SITTER" and I will ABSOLUTELY Use Her again when needed!!

Outside of our household, our 2-year-old puppy had only ever been left with the groomer and my niece, so we were very nervous about leaving him with someone new. However, Imani took wonderful care of him, and he seemed to truly enjoy his time with her.

We had Bailey watch our two fur babies while our daughter graduated from UGA. She took really amazing care of them. She kept us informed with text messges and pictures through out the visit. This young lady is super sweet and you can tell she is an animal lover. She had plenty of snuggles with both of them. Sadie (our lab) really loved Bailey. she gave her lots of kisses before we left like she was saying thanks for taking care of us. If you worried about leaving your pet(s) with some you are not sure of, rest easy knowing this lady is a great pet sitter. Highly rccommended.
