“My dog is always happy and tired after going to stay with Hope, and very happy to arrive. Hope is very fast to respond to messages and always sends photos. The yard is amazing!”

About: I’ve had my own dog now for about 6 years. I’ve house-sat and dog sat on/off for the last ten years or so. I love animals so much and I will treat your pet like it is my own! I’m a teacher—I typically let my dog use the bathroom each morning in the back yard and then give him 1-2 walks when I get off ~3. I have a fenced in back yard and plenty of room for a crate if you want your dog crated while I’m away! At your home, I’m willing to field lm what your routine is!

“MT was amazing!! She sent us so many pictures and videos of my pup and was very communicative. We were visiting from out of town and it’s always hard to leave your baby somewhere new but I never had to worry when he was with her. Astro had so much fun with her and her dogs I don’t think he ever wanted to leave!”

“Luis is great. Brumble, our Beagle, can be timid with new people, yet he clearly trusted Luis and enjoyed his time in his care, as well as having a great time relaxing and playing with Luis’ pup. Definitely recommend!”

“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.”

“Alannah H is absolutely wonderful with my fur child Yana. She treats Yana as if she is her own. I constantly get photos and communications regarding Yana. It is a relief to know that I found someone that I can just and someone that treats my fur child as if she was her own. Thank you Alannah!”

About: I grew up in a home with both cats and dogs, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I’ve also spent years helping friends, family, and neighbors with pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks. I’ve been a dog mom for the past 5 years, so I understand how important routine, attention, and trust are. I’m reliable, attentive, and focused on making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a private, fenced in back yard. I will also send a million pictures/videos if thats what you like (I know I do lol). I know how it feels to be away and missing my doggies so no judgement here. :) I currently have a very flexible schedule and am focusing on pet care full-time, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day and overnight when needed. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am focusing on pet care full-time, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day and overnight when needed. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and boarding on weekdays and weekends, and I’m able to accommodate a variety of routines to best fit your pet’s needs. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet in my care. As a dog owner myself, I’m very attentive to behavior, routines, and comfort levels. I take time to ensure pets feel secure and adjust to their needs, whether that means playtime, structure, or space. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and prioritize clear communication and updates.

“My dog is still a puppy and had never been to daycare or away from me for a long time before, so she was a little difficult. Denise was incredibly understanding and her house was beautiful! If I'm ever in Atlanta again I would definitely have her watch my dog.”

About: I have fostered several dogs from PAWS Atlanta in my home & i'm a regular volunteer at that shelter. I love all the puppers but over the years I have specialized in caring for the seniors and the pittie mixes. I work from home full time with a lot of conference calls. My block is great for walking and there are several parks for longer walks near my home. I have a fenced-in backyard. I never give dogs people food, but i keep a wide variety of doggie treats. Dogs are not allowed on the human furniture but I have a lot of good size dog beds in my home.

About: I am located in beautiful Belvedere park with lots of outdoor green space. For active pups, I have a large fenced in yard and the location is great for daily walks in the neighborhood. My 12 year old pup Leo passed away 🌈 recently and it has been a comfort to have furry friends in the house to keep me company! Being a dog lover who travels frequently, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog. I will be sure to keep your dog well fed, active, and loved while you are away. If you would like, I would love to send you pictures of your precious pup while you are away so you can share in their fun! I would be happy to schedule a meet and greet with your dog before your time away to discuss any special needs or care that your dog may require! I work 100% of the time remotely and can take your dog out during the work day for a stroll or potty break, or give them some playtime in the backyard. I currently live in a house with a large privacy fenced backyard for dogs to roam around and get exercise. Whether we are playing fetch or tug of war, there is always something to keep your pup entertained.

“Lauren was fantastic! My pup has been dealing with some severe separation anxiety since moving to GA, and Lauren was so calming and sweet with him. She even sent me a cute picture of them snuggling! Highly recommend and would stay with Lauren again :)”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. Carried the responsibilities that come with caring for animals and most recently taken an interest in dog training. I adore my own dog and treat him as a valued member of our family and all dogs who are guest in our home will be treated equally. My partner, Adam and I jointly share in the responsibility of ensuring all our furry guest are treated wonderfully and shown a good time while away from their families. My partner, Adam and I already spend most our time with our dogs, Fisher and Nina. We walk multiple times a day and visit the dog park for social time. We have a large fenced in backyard for play time at home and we don’t mind snuggles on the couch. With a fenced in back yard that the dogs can play in and sniff all the smells. Our dog fisher and youngest pup, Nina are friendly with all dogs and they love to play outside.

“We had a great experience with Josh! His two pups are sweet and well behaved and Cora loved it there! Josh is super attentive and communicative, and it was great to see how comfortable Cora could feel right away running around in their wonderful outdoor space. Thanks Josh!”

About: I am fully remote worker, so your dog has company all day long, no extended lonely hours. I currently care for my own senior Lab mix. Also cared for my diabetic senior Maltese for 15 years, so special needs are no problem. Your pup gets a part time home with me. Drop offs no earlier than 7am. Pickups no later than 9pm. I crate at night and when leaving the house for safety of all pets. Working from home grants me ability to care for my dog and others more closely, with more frequent potty breaks, and play time in fenced yard. I have a fenced in yard and several room spaces to separate if alone time needed, like sleep time or feeding. Your pup will spend days with me in my office while I work Monday-Friday. Other times in family room or yard.

“Carla is SO wonderful! We feel so safe with our pup hanging out at her house. She is so great with sending pictures and getting back to you quickly!”

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!

“My pup had such a great time with Richard and Samma! I had a last-minute booking but they were more than accommodative and communicative, and provided plenty of photos and videos to keep me engaged. Highly recommended :)”

About: Fun loving pet owner and pet lover living in Decatur, Georgia. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule. I own one dog and I’m an aunty to two others, as well as god parents to many other pets. Offering boarding and sitting in my comfortable, bright and pet friendly home. I grew up with many pets and I’ve always had a fondness for our furry friends. I’d say I have 30 years experience with dogs, cats, birds, rabbits. I’m more skilled with small to medium sized trained dogs. I have a backyard that pets can play in once leashed and I take all pets for walks in the neighborhood, weather and their ability permitted. Safety first always! Looking forward to hanging with some cool furry friends. I work from home and I have a little dog of my own so your pet is never alone and has a friend to lounge in the sun and eat treats with. I also have a large crate for if your dog requires crate time or if I have to briefly run an errand. My home is a soft space and the neighborhood is safe and quiet. I do have a ring camera and doors are always closed and locked for added safety. I always accompany my pet friends for leashed discoveries in my backyard and on neighborhood walks to greet the neighbors.

About: I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I do my best to provide the same level of care and attention I would want for my own pets. I've cared for many dogs and cats with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I pay close attention to body language and behavior, which helps me understand when a pet wants to play, needs space, or is feeling anxious. Whether your pet is outgoing or shy, my goal is to build trust, keep them comfortable, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I work from home most of the time and have a flexible schedule, which means plenty of attention for your pet. My Border Collie loves having furry guests, and they’ll enjoy frequent potty breaks in the shared backyard, daily walks, and playtime at the community dog park located right behind my unit. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with close supervision throughout the day. I follow each pet's routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
