Liz was absolutely wonderful with our newly adopted dog. She was so patient, kind, and clearly experienced in working with dogs who are still adjusting to a new home. She took him on long walks, gave him lots of attention, and treated him like her own. We’re so grateful to have found Liz and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!

Avary did an amazing job watching my for baby and chickens for the weekend. They were well taken care of and the house was left the way I left it. My only complaint is I wish she sent me more pictures. Definitely will book again.

Liberty was an amazing sitter! My cat, Brie, loved her ☺️ I could tell Brie got plenty of love and attention while I was away, because of the daily updates I received. I never once had to worry how my baby was doing! 🥰 Liberty was also very respectful of my home and I returned to it exactly as I left it ✨

About: I’ve had my own animals and taken care of neighbors pets for as long as I can remember. I have lots of experience with cats/kittens & dogs! I have two dogs of my own and a main coon cat. They are basically my children and I take pride in loving on them and treating them like royalty! I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule so I’m open to all sorts of pet care! I would love to drop by for a walk, or stay overnight for a weekend! I am lucky to have the freedom of a flexible schedule. I will come to you! As much as I would love to have an animal slumber party, I don’t think my cat would approve. I will take care of your babies as much as they are mine. Whether that’s playing with them, giving lots of scratches, or cuddling - they will be treated like my own.

About: I have been watching dogs sense I was able to drive. I’ve grown up my entire life with dogs and cats. I have a pup named Prince he’s a good boy. I love to meet new pup friends and take care of them as if they were mine. I am a full time student but I am online so I can walk or take out your pets whenever it’s needed, but i do work a part time job. If my assistants is needed just text me and we can set something up! I first want to meet the dogs and go over the do’s and don’ts with the owner. I value the comfort and trust from the pet and owner over everything.

Lauren was a great dog sitter! She took amazing care of our dog and treated him like he was one of hers. This was the first time we have ever been away from our dog and she put our minds and hearts at ease. Our dog loves car rides and the dog park and she took him on both car rides and the dog park and even sent us photos of his adventures! I would highly recommend Lauren. In fact, I just booked her again today!

About: Reliable, structured care is what sets me apart. I’m happy to follow your established routines and house rules to ensure consistency for your pet. I’m comfortable with puppies (crate routines and reinforcing good habits) as well as senior dogs who need a slower, more attentive pace. I regularly care for dogs during the weekday and am experienced managing routines, timing, and midday coverage. I prioritize dependable timing, clear communication, and making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ve owned dogs for over 15 years and have been pet sitting since 1995. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Pet care is already part of my regular weekday routine, allowing me to provide consistent and reliable service. I structure my schedule to maintain dependable timing for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I’m typically available for weekday midday and afternoon care, and I also offer boarding with a safe, structured environment and plenty of outdoor time for play, exercise, and fresh air. I don’t currently have dogs of my own, which allows me to provide a calm environment and give your pet my full attention. I keep my schedule organized to ensure each pet receives attentive, well-paced care and doesn’t feel rushed or overlooked. Safety and consistency are my top priorities in both my home and my client’s home. I follow each pet’s established routine closely, including feeding schedules, crate or free-roam preferences, and any specific care instructions. In my home, I provide a calm, structured environment with a large, fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor time, exercise, and enrichment. Pets are never left unattended with unknown animals, and I prioritize a low-stress setting tailored to each dog’s temperament. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and maintain your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and secure. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any changes that might indicate stress or discomfort. I’m also comfortable administering basic medications if needed. I focus on clear communication, dependable care, and making sure both you and your pet feel confident and at ease.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and attention to detail. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior pets, including administering medication. I treat every pet like family and follow all instructions carefully to ensure they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for. I’m currently working full time in Alpharetta. Just message me and I’ll see what best works for the both of us. Weekends are definitely my sweet spot but I can find that time after work as well after 4:30pm! I am the trusted go-to in my family when it comes to caring for pets, thanks to my genuine love and passion for animals. Pet-sitting isn’t just a responsibility for me — it’s something I truly enjoy. I pride myself on maintaining a clean environment and carefully following all client instructions. I never make assumptions and always prioritize the safety and well-being of the pets in my care. In addition to pet-sitting, I’m also happy to help with small household tasks such as watering plants, bringing in mail, or taking out the trash.

About: With a lifelong passion for dogs, I bring a wealth of experience to my dog sitting services. Growing up with dogs, I've developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. Now, as a proud dog mom of three fur babies and the owner of a small business tailored just to pups, you can rest assured that your babies will be cared for in a loving and fun environment. 🫶🏼🫶🏼 As a full-time worker with flexible hours, I seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine through thoughtful planning and prioritization. Here is what a day in our household looks like with my 3 pups to give you an idea: **Morning Ritual**: Each morning, I dedicate the first 30 minutes to an hour to my pups. This includes a refreshing walk or playtime, allowing them to stretch their legs and get some exercise while I enjoy the fresh air and bond with them. **Flexible Breaks**: With my flexible work schedule, I can take advantage of breaks throughout the day. During these breaks, I make it a point to check in on my pups, giving them attention, a quick play session, or just some affectionate cuddles. **Midday Engagement**: When my work allows, I set aside time around lunchtime to either take my dogs out for another short walk or engage them in interactive play. This keeps them stimulated and helps break up their day. **Evening Quality Time**: After work, I prioritize quality time with my pups. Whether it’s a longer walk, a visit to the dog park, or training sessions, I make sure they get ample exercise and mental stimulation, reinforcing our bond. **Weekend Adventures**: On weekends, I plan longer outings or fun activities, such as hiking, going to the lake, adventures to the ballpark or visiting pet-friendly places. This not only provides them with physical exercise but also allows us to work on social interaction while exploring and enjoying our time together. By incorporating these strategies, I ensure that my pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for, all while successfully balancing my work commitments. Now, this is merely just an example of my every day with my own boys, When imagining what you may or may not need when it comes to caring for your pet, customizing yours and your pet’s needs is always essential. Caring for someone else's pet in their home requires attention to detail, respect for their routines, and a genuine love for animals. Here is what that looks like when tending to your pet and their needs: 1. **Understanding the Pet’s Needs**: Before starting, I have a detailed conversation with the pet owner to learn about the pet’s daily routine, dietary needs, exercise requirements, and any specific behaviors or quirks. 2. **Following Instructions**: Adhering strictly to the care instructions provided by the pet owner. This includes feeding schedules, medication administration, and any special care instructions. 3. **Creating a Comfortable Environment**: When possible, I like to do a meet & greet with the pup(s) and their owners to ensure they are comfortable come time for me to start caring for them. Maintaining the pet's usual environment as much as possible. Keeping their sleeping area, toys, and feeding spots in the same locations to minimize stress. 4. **Establishing a Routine**: Sticking to the pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. Consistency helps the pet feel secure and comfortable while their owner is away. 5. **Providing Plenty of Attention**: Spending quality time with the pet to ensure they feel loved and cared for while their owner is away. Engaging in play, training, or simply cuddling to keep them happy. Of course happy to incorporate things you as a pet owner may request as needed. 6. **Staying Active**: Ensuring the pet gets enough physical activity according to their needs. Taking them for walks, playing fetch, or engaging in other activities they enjoy. 7. **Maintaining Cleanliness**: Keeping the pet's living area clean. This includes regularly changing their water, cleaning up after them, and maintaining their litter box if applicable. 8. **Monitoring Health and Behavior**: Keeping an eye on the pet's health and behavior. Such as changes in appetite, appearance, mannerisms or energy levels, notifying the owner immediately. 9. **Emergency Contacts**: I make sure to have a list of emergency contacts, including the owner's vet and an alternate emergency contact. Knowing what to do in case of an emergency. 10. **Providing Updates**: Regularly updating the pet owner on how their pet is doing. Sending photos or messages to reassure them and keep them connected to their furry baby. These guidelines I have can ensure you that your pet will receive the best care possible while you’re away. Fostering trust and peace of mind for both you and your pet. 😇🫶🏼

About: I have always had a strong love for animals. I own animals of my own, and they are like children to me. I love meeting new animals and getting to know them. I am a very active person and playful. I have so much love to give out to all animals! I have had a lot of experience taking care of furry friends. I am a student in college, but I'm looking for easy ways to earn money. I thought I would put myself put there for others to know that I am here to help with animals, so I could have a fun, easy, and flexible job to help me make a better living for myself to get through school. I also have been volunteering at Pickens Animal Shelter for awhile now, so I have met numerous different types of furry friends. I am very patient and have experience with frighened, nervous, and even agressive animals that just need more compassion. Unfortunately, I'm not able to have fun with furry friends 24/7, but I am still flexible and usually don't have issues working out schedules that are needed. For overnight booking, I definitely prepare to be there majority of the time. I love my let's very much and they are a good mix between inside and outside dogs. I pretty much give them free will to pick. They always sleep with me at night. I have lots of land to play on. In a client's home, I will follow any instructions or rules they ask. Otherwise, I try and do what is best for the pets and make them comfortable and I have no problem cuddling and sleeping with them too!

About: I have only ever cared for certain dogs for very short intervals of time. I care for my personal dog, which is a yorkshire terrier/poodle mix, and he is a small dog under 15 pounds. I have walked a few dogs before that were of medium and big size. I am a very caring person and love dogs of every breed. I only want the very best for your furry companions because I would want the same for mine. I am hoping to gain a lot of experience from pet sitting and hope that you consider me a good fit as your sitter. I do not have any special skills, I just really love dogs and want to spend my spare time having a ton of fun with them. Thank you. I work 3 12 hour shifts per week from 7pm-7am so I am available on my days off for drop ins and walks! I prefer a notice a couple of weeks in advance if booking an overnight stay so I am hopefully able to tweak my work schedule. Thanks! My dog sleeps in the bed with my husband and I and is free to roam around the house during the day. I will care for your dog however you prefer.

About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 10 years. My parents were Great Dane breeders and I have experience raising puppies from birth-seniority. I used to groom dogs as a part time job and would love to groom yours free of charge while sitting for you! I am also experienced in training dogs basic commands as well as a few tricks and could probably have your furry baby doing a new trick in less than 2 hours. I'd love to help you with your lovable best friend, day or night!❤️ I currently work part time and have plenty of free time to give your furry friend that special TLC they love! I always come prepared with treats and toys as well. I usually arrive at the client's house, let the pet introduce themselves to me naturally (no threatening behavior, no forced petting, no loud or excited talking, just let them get to know me!) and then hang out in their space for a bit, offering treats if allowed, letting them get used to me, then going on with the routine of feeding, walking, etc, if I'm allowed to groom them, once they're used to my presence, I'll begin that, making sure to stop immediately if they seem upset or threatened! I always end our day together with some treats/food and spending some time with them!
