“Candice was a phenomenal partner in caring for our dog during a week long family trip. Punctual, thoughtful, and a wonderful communicator, Candice provided our dog genuine care and kept our family at ease knowing all was taken care of at home. Would HIGHLY recommend and will look to book again!”


“I cannot say enough positive things about Brittany. This was the first time we have had someone other than family watch our two dogs and I was initially very nervous. All those nerves went away during our meet and greet with Brittany. I could instantly tell how serious she takes looking after fur family members, not to mention the extra time she took with each of our dogs to make sure they were each comfortable with her. She asked very detailed questions about what we expected and did everything we asked. I got pictures during her visit and a very detailed message about the overall visit, which I really appreciated. I have already recommended Brittany to friends in the event they ever need services for their pets, and we definitely plan on having her back!”



“Great sitter! My dogs love Jenny and they are always happy when I come home. Jenny is so attentive to their needs, and she is so knowledgeable about dogs! Thanks, Jenny! Mounia”


“Claire was phenomenal when it came to taking care of my pups especially on short notice. We were able to conduct a meet and great within a few hours of me sending the request. The meet and great went well and my two rotties quickly gave the warm and fuzzy. Claire was on time and provided my pups with adequate time to decompress and enjoy themselves. Claire communicated with me consistently during her visits which was also greatly appreciated. If you need someone who will care for your pups as you will then Claire is the individual for you. I would hands down utilize her in the future if we find ourselves needing someone to watch our puppies.”

About: I follow multiple animal accounts because they just make my day better. I love animals since I grew up in a ranch i'm used to running around with a dog until we were both tired. There is nothing more fun than teaching them tricks as simple as fetching a ball or sitting. My favorite thing about animals is seeing how excited they get when you come home. I'll make sure to care for them as if they were my own. I'll help out if you have been working hard trying to teach him/her tricks by giving them treats when they have accomplished the goal. I know not all dogs learn at the same pace or have the same energy but I am very patient and adaptable. I work from home. I can hang out with your pet(s) all day. Take as many potty breaks as needed. We go to the dog park everyday. Athena would love to have someone to play tug with her. I am very adaptable to your pets needs. I want them to feel comfortable with me. If they are anxious I will give them space but make sure they feel protected if we are out for a walk. If your pet is crate trained I have an extra crate if it's needed.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life ever since I could remember, I started with my mom at the young age of 10 years old when she joined georgia animal humane society. I grew up fostering mainly kittens until they could be rehomed. And have always had pets in the family. I currently work at Oxbow meadows in animal care of our reptiles and amphibians so I have a wide range of experience with different animals! Truly one of my favorite passions. I'm currently a college student with a flexible schedule, I do work throughout the week days as well, ranging from 4 up to 8 hours. But i am willing to adjust my schedule if needed. For house sitting, I'm always able to keep your fluffy friend company through the night! When caring for my your pets I keep it similar to how i treat my own animals unless called for otherwise. I regularly take them out on walks and potty breaks, play time is a must and I like to keep a strict eye on the pet to make sure they're safe and sound at all times. I will always keep in contact with you and give regular updates in pictures of how your pet is doing.

My roommate has a 3 year bully-pit who is friendly. We have an extra kennel if needed or preferred ( and plenty of treats. )

Katie C.

“Katie was an amazing dog sitter for me and my family. She watched my puppy tucker for over a week while we went on vacation and did everything as expected and more. She followed his daily feeding schedule, took him out when necessary and even took him out to parks and the beach to play, which was unexpected but very necessary for our crazy pup. Upon our return, tucker was excited to see us yet sad to leave his new friend Katie, who took care of him so well in our absence!”




Brooke R.

“Brooke is the definition of a dog lover. I have known Brooke almost her entire life and she has always had a dog and always been a wonderful dog owner. She loves my dogs so well and she is able to handle both of their very different personalities. I would say Brooke loves dogs more than she loves people (not in a weird way haha). I would not trust many individuals with my dogs but I would 100% trust her. Plus, they would love to spend time with her.”
