“I cannot express how great Donna is and how grateful we are with her for taking such good care of our fur baby. She made sure Chuchu had his medication when he had to, and she treated him as part of his family. Thanks Donna! See you next time!”
“Lauren was wonderful with both of our floofs! She was super easy to work with and because we knew they were in good hands we were able to relax and enjoy our time away! Would definitely recommend and will use her again whenever we need someone to watch our doggos.”
“Sammy had a great time! Hailey was great with him while he adjusted, and after a few days he was settled and seemed to be just fine. He was happy (and exhausted 😆) when we picked him up. Would definitely book again!”
“This was Oscar’s first overnight without us. He was with Kristin and her family for 2 nights. He was a bit anxious, but got better the 2nd night. Kristin took good care of him and tried to keep things as close as possible to his normal routine. We definitely recommend Kristin and will be using her again.”
“We LOVE Jennifer!! She personally text and sent pics everyday along with keeping us posted in the River app. She kept us updated on every aspect of their day. Both Jennifer and her entire family made us so comfortable leaving our fur babies for a week. Will use her again!”
About: With over a decade of experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes, I bring a calm, reliable presence your pup can trust. I’ve spent the last 3 years training dogs and currently foster for GSP Rescue in the Southeast—successfully placing pups in loving homes. Whether your dog needs playtime, cuddles, structure, or a little extra patience, I’ve got you covered! I currently work a hybrid schedule in the office and from home. I am available weekends and love to take the pups on rides in the car if they enjoy it. We love to get out and hike or take Remy for a drive to get coffee and pup cups. We live on a quiet cul-de-sac with peaceful neighbors. We have a completely fenced in yard with about .3 acres of area to sniff and dig. (yes, we let them dig) We love to spoil with cuddles and toys and treats. Structure time with toys and training time will always be a part of our care too. I have 3+ years training our dog and believe in short training sessions regardless of knowledge level.
“Cimily took great care of my dog. Everyday she sent pictures and videos of my dog playing and having a great time. I highly recommend Cimily to watch your furry four-legged family member.”
About: For as long as I can remember, I’ve been taking care of animals. Growing up I had, of course, dogs but also cats, rabbits, birds, and even a chinchilla! I moved to a farm as a teenager where I was kept busy taking care of livestock and training horses. Naturally I seeked out jobs with animals too. I’ve worked 1 year at a horse barn and then 2 years at a vet clinic. While working at an animal clinic I learned how to take care of every doggy personality whether it be high reactivity, shyness, dog-aggression, or high energy. I also, of course, learned a good bit about vet med too. I’ve also taken care of many types of cats friendly and sassy ones too! I know how stressful it is leaving a fur baby behind but I want pet owners to know I will give my absolute best care to each and every animal and keep you in the loop with paw-some photos! I currently have wide open availability until July 18th, feel free to reach out. Starting July 21st I’ll be free weekday mornings and evenings and have open availability during the weekends. I am able to do whatever you feel is best for your pet; whether that is plenty of walks or plenty of good tummy scratches or both. I have enough experience to be able to care for your pet in the best way possible.
About: Hi 👋 I’m Victoria! I graduated with a degree in Biochemistry with a concentration in pre-veterinary medicine from Mississippi State University in 2019. Then was admitted to Ross University for their veterinary medicine program. I love animals but decided I’d rather own the vet clinic than be the veterinarian so I worked as a vet tech while getting my MBA. I finished my masters in December of 2022 and have plans to start my own animal hospital. I have volunteered with several animal shelters and wildlife rehab centers since 2016. I worked at Animal Tracks Veterinary Hospital from June 2018 until August 2019. I have been trained in dog CPR at Mississippi State University’s school of veterinary medicine. I can do grooming (dogs and cats), with nail trim and ear cleaning for an extra $20 fee. I am able to medicate (oral, injections, creams, etc...). I have closely worked with with diabetic cats, cats with strokes (wobbly cat syndrome), post surgery care, and canine seizures. I can go on long runs, take them to the dog park, or just spend some time cuddling your furry family member. I will send daily pictures or videos of your pet while you’re away as well! I have experience working with domestic animals (large, small, and farm) as well as bobcats, bunnies, squirrels, birds, skunks, opossums, and coyotes. I am currently working on obtaining my wildlife rehabilitator certification. I’d love the chance to come meet your baby! I am currently working full-time for a tech company and am remote. If your fur babies need out in the middle of the day I can accommodate this as ling as I can use the WIFI. I have a cat, and 2 Australian Cattle Dogs who are very friendly. They are welcome to stay with me if they are potty trained and get along well with others.
About: Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets when they are gone, housesit, care for and love on them. I have a few pets of my own, and they are my babies! I would so enjoy loving on your babies and taking care of them while you are not able to. I am a school bus driver, so I work early in the morning, and then in the afternoon. I have time during the day to take care of your babies! And then I have time after I get home from driving to keep them overnight. And I’m off during the summer to take care of them all day long! I have a huge yard, actually 12 1/2 acres. I don’t have a fenced in yard quite yet, but I’m working on it. I have two areas with runs for a dog to go outside, and a little 10x10 fenced in area for now. And then I am home with the babies inside most of the day unless they need to go out to go potty! I do have cats, so I need dogs that are cat friendly.
About: I have had dogs my whole life ☺️ I have cared for my own as well as others for years. At my home safety is my top priority. My baby recently passed. Rhett was my priority for 15 years and my home just isn’t the same without him. I would love to watch your fur baby🙂 and give them love and affection in your absence. I work from home and can give your baby 100% attention. We go on many potty breaks and times to snoop in the yard. I would love to host your fur baby. I have a large fenced in yard. My 6 pound baby loved running and playing in the yard. No way to escape. Plenty of squirrels to run after!
About: I have 3 wonderful pups of my own and have had pets my entire life! I only recently started watching other people's pets but I love it! I have taken care of dogs with extra needs. My schedule is pretty open at the moment! I am extremely flexible with time. If anything changes in my schedule I will notify you. I am willing to do weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced in backyard if pets are to be boarded at my home. I have two dogs that are crate trained so I do have experience with that.
“I highly recommend Aris. She took excellent care of my dog and treated him like he was her own. I felt comfortable and confident when dropping him off that he was in fantastic hands. I received daily pictures and updates. Her communication was excellent. I will be using her services again in the future! Thanks Aris!”
“Leah was awesome! She treated our dog as if he was one of her own! She kept us updated on his stay, frequently sending updates and pics of our dog! We really appreciate her taking such great care of Luke, we give her 5+++ stars, & would definitely recommend her to anyone who is seeking care of their dog. Thank you Leah!! You’re the best!!”

“Katherine took excellent care of our dog Bear while we were on vacation. I never once had to worry about how he was doing. She gave updates every day and sent pictures to us. She even took him out on walks and to play at the park. Their dog Remi is precious and gets along great with other dogs so Bear had a playmate the whole time. We know Bear got extra attention and belly rubs the whole time and he came back happy and well taken care of. I 100% would recommend her to take care of anyone’s pup. She goes above and beyond!”
