“Thank you Cassandra for making Tashi feel welcome....he looked very happy in the photos. Since he will have an over night stay next week, daycare was a good way for him to get to know you and your place.”


“So happy with the entire experience. Sarah immediately made me and my doggies feel comfortable with our visit! Can’t wait to have them back! Thank you!”


“Our pup had a blast at Denise's house. She has a nice big fenced in yard, which is hard to find in Atlanta! We will definitely be using her again!”


“Samantha was amazing! Went out of her way to accommodate us and provided multiple updates. She responded almost immediately to all my messages and was just amazing to work with! We are so grateful for her!”


“We are so thankful to have a family that cares for our pup as if she was their own! Super communicative as well. We love having Pepper stay with Luis and Sarah!”


“Dan was a fantastic dog sitter. He was attentive my dog’s needs and flexible with scheduling. (Plus, his backyard is a great place for a dog to get out their zoomies.) I highly recommend Dan!”


“Channell was awesome! I had a residency interview that lasted from 10 am -2 pm and I wasn’t able to take my puppy out because I didn’t have enough breaks. I also hadn’t been able to clean and run errands since I got him. Channell was so friendly and looked after my puppy. He was a little shy but I’m sure he had fun and he was so relaxed when he came home. Will for sure contact Channell again in the future.”


“My dogs had a wonderful stay at Maria’s house! They felt very welcome and were treated like special guests. We are grateful to have found Maria!”


About: Hello! I grew up in New Jersey and have called Georgia home for the last 8 years. As early as I can remember, I’ve loved being around animals of all shapes and sizes. I bond easily with most animals because I am a kind, calm, and confident person. My friends call it a nurturing spirit because countless times I have been to a gathering or party and someone's pet decided that I was their new best friend. When I started living on my own in Atlanta, I decided it was time to adopt my first pets as an adult. I adopted two seniors who still had so much love to share. Their names were Brittanica (the cat) and Roberta (the dog). Both were diagnosed with chronic illnesses that required IV fluids and maintenance medications that had to be given on particular schedules. With advice from their care team, I made sure that each interaction for treatment was a positive experience. Sometimes I pulled out all the stops with treats, bundling them in a blanket, and setting up a soothing environment. If your pet requires such treatments, written notes would be appreciated so I can reference the process as much as possible. My current pets are younger than my first two and keep me on my toes! We have a lot of fluffy fun as Stellaluna is a sweetheart, longhaired domestic cat and Sir Waddles Von Wigglebutt is a very friendly, laid back corgi. We have a good routine where the first thing we do when we wake up is pre-breakfast cuddle time! There have been times where we’ve needed to be flexible and eat breakfast first though. My day-to-day is structured so that I can get steps in with Waddles and I can set up enrichment activities for his working dog nature. Often you’ll see us with the Atlanta Corgi group so he can be a social butterfly. If the weather isn’t great or I have a deadline to meet at work, he’ll stay home and do puzzles. Other hobbies that fit in my schedule include playing DND or board games, doing dog training classes with Waddles, and watching TV with Stella. When it comes to taking care of your pets, I will make sure that we keep to the routine they’re most familiar with too! We’ll do videos and pics as much as we can during the visit. My goal with each visit is that your pet is treated well and feels like they’re getting their own vacation even though they’ll be missing you. I work in the film industry in post production and I work remotely from home. I will have plenty of time to play and check on your furry friend for scheduled appointments. When I do not have an active contract, I enjoy taking longer walks and playing with your pet extra with your pet. To guarantee more than 30 minutes of play time, please book my 60 min visits. Safety is a top priority when I am taking care of animals. Regardless of how well trained a pet is, they are animals and are unpredictable at times. For that reason, when walking your dog, I will make sure that it is on leash unless we are in your fenced yard. If your dog is staying over with me, a crate is necessary so they have their own space where they’re safe when I’m not home. I do have a cat so if your dog is not cat friendly, we will not be able to work together. I believe in strong communication and transparency. While with your fuzzy friend, I will send you updates and photos through the app!

“I wish I could keep it a secret but my conscience compels me to say that Peggy was my luckiest and best find since relocating to Decatur. Both Chispa and I were delighted and impressed with her, her home and her Sparks. I know Chispa is in good and loving hands. Peggy is our new BFF.”


“Ashleigh was so sweet with our Izzy. As soon as we met her, Izzy asked for a belly rub, so we knew she felt safe. Ashleigh sent us many updates and videos that let us know that Izzy was in great hands. When we picked her up, Izzy was so happy and looked like she had the best time. We're really thankful that she was so well taken care of!”


“Carla is awesome! We are so excited for Macaroni to have new friends to hang out with and we feel so good knowing she will be in good hands when we go out of town.”


“Katelyn is a fantastic dog sitter! She watched Onyx during the daytime while I was away on business for a week and both he and I couldn't be happier. Onyx has been to a few boarding facilities in the area, but he never gets the exercise he needs there. With Katelyn, he got plenty of exercise, didn't need to spend time crated, and got to make some good friends. I really appreciate all the cute photos she sent me. She was also very prompt and professional in communication. I couldn't recommend her more highly.”


“Absolutely wonderful experience with Jonathan! He provided pictures and was able to watch my boy on such short notice. I appreciated his professionalism so much!”


“Davif stepped up last minute when eveyone else declined. We appreciated that.”


“Liz was perfect with my yorkie! Excellent communication and very welcoming personality.”


About: I've taken care of dogs and cats, including my own, since I was a young child. I'm no stranger to all facets of pet care including walking, feeding, bathing and trimming nails. I'm also well versed in taking care of very young (< 1yr) and elderly animals, who both require lots of attention. If your animal has a medicine schedule, I'll be able to stay on top of it. I’m also familiar with farm animals and basic farm responsibilities! If you need someone to feed the chickens, collect the eggs, feed the goats, muck the stalls, etc. — I can do it! 🙂 ***Please note, my prices reflect the care needed for generally pets of generally stable health. My prices are subject to change for animals requiring constant care with significant needs (ie: animals with extreme disabilities such as severe mobility issues that prevent them from moving, severe incontinence, spinal cord injuries, etc.)*** I currently work remotely so I have a lot of flexibility to take care of your fur babies, and have no problem keeping them company for as long as they need a friend! :) *Please note: I do not provide overnight care for house sittings shorter than three days. Thank you! When taking care of your pets, my goal is to keep their routine as stable and familiar as possible to make sure they're as comfortable as can be. Feel free to leave any special instructions, and I'll be happy to accommodate.

About: As a full-time pet care provider with years of hands-on experience, I offer more than just sitting—I provide a safe, structured, and loving environment where every dog feels at home. What sets me apart is the professional setup and the level of care I bring to each stay: 🐾 Spacious, Pet-Centered Home: I have a large, dog-friendly home with a dedicated dog room for play and rest, and a fully fenced, secure backyard for supervised outdoor time. Your pet won’t be confined to a small space—they’ll have room to explore, play, and relax in comfort. 🐾 All-Day Supervision: I’m home full-time, so dogs are never left alone for long periods. I offer consistent supervision, structure, and routine—just like they would get at home. 🐾 Puppy & Senior Experience: I’m experienced with both high-energy puppies and senior dogs who need a gentler pace. I tailor care to their age, temperament, and specific needs—whether it’s potty training, medication, or mobility assistance. 🐾 Grooming & Hygiene Services: I also offer bathing, de-matting, and light grooming services, so your pet comes home looking and feeling their best. Cleanliness and hygiene are top priorities in my care routine. 🐾 Calm, Loving Energy: I build real bonds with the dogs I care for. Whether your pup needs socialization or prefers a quieter space, I adapt to make their stay stress-free and enjoyable. I treat every dog like family and pride myself on offering a home where pets are genuinely cared for—not just watched. Pet care is a full-time part of my life and business—I’ve built my daily routine around providing attentive, personalized care for every pet I host. I work from home, which allows me to be fully present and hands-on with the dogs and cats in my care throughout the day. Each day includes: • Early morning potty breaks or litter cleaning • Feeding routines and any needed medications • Playtime, exercise, and one-on-one attention • Quiet rest times to help pets feel relaxed and at home • Evening walks, grooming, and bedtime routines Weekends often include pet pick-ups/drop-offs, bath and grooming services, and extended stays for clients traveling. Because I’m home all day and night, your pet gets the kind of consistent supervision and care they’d never receive at a kennel or busy facility. My lifestyle is built around creating a clean, calm, and safe space where pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for—whether they’re staying for a night or a full week. I provide a safe, structured, and loving home environment that’s tailored to each pet’s individual needs. In my home, pets are treated like family with round-the-clock supervision, a spacious setup, and a consistent routine. Here’s how I care for pets in my home: 🐾 Safe & Clean Environment: Pets stay in a clean, fully pet-proofed home with access to a fenced backyard, a cozy dog room for play or rest, and plenty of natural light and space to roam. 🐾 Structured Daily Routine: I follow your pet’s existing feeding, potty, and medication schedule. I also include regular playtime, outdoor time, and quiet rest to keep them comfortable and relaxed. 🐾 Hands-On Supervision: I’m home full-time, so your pet is never left alone for long. This helps reduce stress and separation anxiety, especially for younger pups or pets who are new to being away from home. 🐾 Personalized Attention: Whether your pet loves cuddles, fetch, or quiet naps, I cater to their personality. I also separate high-energy dogs from calmer ones when needed for everyone’s safety. 🐾 Photos & Updates: You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and videos so you can see how happy and well cared for your pet is during their stay. If I’m caring for a pet in their home (drop-in or house sitting), I maintain their normal environment and routines, ensuring minimal disruption. I’ll provide clean-up, feeding, walks, medication, and companionship while keeping your home tidy and secure.
