“Dawn is absolutely amazing. Our babies loved her. She was very attentive and patient, she also was very informative with great communication. Photos and notes made me feel so much better and trustworthy. Will definitely book again”


“She was so nice and attentive to our babies. Very easy to communicate with and very responsive. Will definitely use her services again. She was able to get pictures as well. Very pleased especially for our first time ever using the service. Great Experience ❤️”


“This amazing woman took care of my cats while I was on vacation, had to take a last minute work trip, and while I had to quickly make it to a funeral. She not only takes care of your fur babies as if they were her own, she updates you with everything, takes cute pictures, and keeps your place tidy and running smoothly. Absolutely would recommend Karen to anyone who is nervous about leaving their pets alone.”


About: Hi, I'm Gessy! I have several years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, especially pit bulls and small breeds. I've done pet sitting, walking, feeding, playtime, and even given medications when needed. I treat every pet like family-gentle, patient, and dependable. Whether it's for a weekend or longer, your pets will be safe, happy and love with me and my family. I am currently a stay home mom, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weeks days. I do not have a fence yard i have a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company, and I can easily crate your dog if needed.

“Naomi was so great with my cats! She was wonderful with giving updates, and I really felt at ease during my vacation! Highly recommend and will definitely book with her again! 💜”


About: I am an animal trainer for film and television and have worked with many types of animals since I was a child. I have a bachelor’s degree in Biology as well as an associate’s degree in Exotic Animal Training and Management. I am from South Carolina originally and have recently moved back to the southeast after a 12 year stint in California. Before my current career, I was a veterinary technician in an emergency clinic. Due to my past experience, I have vast husbandry and veterinary knowledge of many animal species. A full resume is available upon request. I am currently offering in-home dog boarding as well as board-and-train and dog daycare options when I am not otherwise working on a studio project. Animal care and training is my only job and what my life has revolved around since I first took up riding horses at 5 years old. My daily schedule solely revolves around proper husbandry and care of my animals and the animals I train and care for. I have an 8 acre property that is fully dog fenced and secure. Social dogs can be mixed into play groups. For safety, dogs will be crated or otherwise secured to a bedroom, etc. at night and/or when I need to run out for errands.

About: I have had animals my entire life, so 30+ years of experience. I know that your fur babies are apart of your family. You can count on me to make sure they feel at home. I currently work full-time. My partner has a very flexible schedule so your fur baby will have several opportunities throughout the day for potty breaks. I have a fenced in back yard. I have two extremely friendly medium sized dogs (both are spayed/neutered). I also have 2 playful cats that interact very well with the pups. All of our pets are inside only.

About: Hi, I’m Josh—and I offer nothing but the most reliable pet care around, tailored to you and your pets needs! 🐾 I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly believe every pet deserves kindness, routine, and a whole lotta love (and maybe a treat or three). From playful pups to wise old doggos, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether it’s: 🐕🦺 Gentle strolls for seniors 🦴 Play-packed walks for energetic pups 🧸 Cozy care for anxious or shy pets 🎓 Basic routine reinforcement …I meet every animal where they’re at. Your pet won’t just be walked or watched—they’ll be nurtured, entertained, and treated like family. Plus, I’m a firm believer in consistent communication! You’ll get updates, pics, and plenty of peace of mind while your pet is in my care. Right now, I’m home full-time—so your pet’s schedule? It becomes my schedule! Early morning potty breaks, midday zoomies, afternoon sunbathing, or evening snuggles… I’ve got the time and the treats. My days are pretty flexible, so whether your pup needs structure or just someone to hang out with while they nap, I can make it happen. I keep things calm, cozy, and consistent—because pets thrive when they feel safe and seen. Basically: if your pet has a routine, I’ll stick to it like peanut butter on a chew toy. 🦴 And if they’re more of a go-with-the-flow type? We’ll create a new groove together. Let me know what makes your fur baby happiest—and I’ll make sure every visit or stay feels like a mini vacation (with belly rubs included, obviously). My home is a peaceful, pet-friendly space where your furry friend will feel right at home. I’m home full-time, so pets are never left alone for long, and I’m always nearby for cuddles, potty breaks, or the occasional “did someone say treat?” moment. A fenced-in yard is in the works soon (yay!), but in the meantime, we’ve got instant access to Academy Springs Park—just a few steps away—and we’re a short drive from the Chimney Park dog park too. Plus, my quiet, sidewalk-lined neighborhood is perfect for low-stress walks and curious sniffing adventures. I keep my space clean, calm, and cozy. No overwhelming noise, no overcrowding, and definitely no chaos. Whether your pet needs space to lounge, room to play, or a quiet spot to decompress, we’ll create the right setup for them. I care for every animal like they’re my own—because honestly, they kinda are while they’re with me. 💛

About: I have been a RVT (a vet “nurse”) for 9 years with some of that working with large animals and also in small animal emergency. I also grew up on a large dog breeding farm. I am experienced with all ages and all breeds of dogs. I can give all forms of medications (insulin, SQ Fluids, oral meds, etc). I have 4 large breed dogs of my own and love every dog I have the pleasure of working with. I also like to leave houses clean from overnight stays. Pet care is a daily routine for me as I have a geriatric large breed dog and all of my dogs are on special food or medications I would care for your pet like it was my own. Daily walks if needed and continuous love and care for them. I want to create a space that doesn’t disrupt their normal day to day activities.

About: I’ve lived with 5+ dogs at a time since I was born. I have been trusted to watch dogs ranging from puppies to 17+ years old. I’m currently in college, so I am available to care for your pet at all times except when I am in class. My schedule varies each day, but I can always make time! I am willing to accommodate to any and all needs of your pet. I understand that all dogs have their weird quirks, and I’m excited to make a new best friend!

About: I have had experience pet-sitting multiple different types of dogs from puppies to large. I spent 4 years as a dog walker at an animal shelter, so I believe that I am highly capable of handling a plethora of personalities. My favorite dogs are rottweilers and labradoodles! I work full-time, so I am available before 8:30 and after 5 on Monday through Thursday. I work virtually Friday, so I have more flexibility. My weekends are open when not traveling My apartment has a dog park and long walking trail that connects to it, so I am happy to do lots of enrichment time and walking. I am used to be around pets 24/7 from my clingy childhood dogs, so I can keep a very watchful eye in a home if needed!

About: I learned to care for our pet dog Joe at the age of 8. Followed by my grandmothers cat that littered 6 kittens. During my college years I helped look out for my grandmothers small dog named Pepper. I fed her, walked her, and gave her baths from time to time. Not long after, my Uncle moved in with his Great Dane Adam, and the other dog named Bandit- mixed breed of Bull Mastiff and Golden Retriever. I would walk Adam sometimes, but mostly Bandit. My Uncle was a trainer, and we were close, so it didn’t take long for them to trust me and befriend me. More recently I’m a father of twin 5 year olds that keep me alert and on my toes. My schedule varies with the school system schedule. I’m off during the summer, spring break, holidays etc. Weekends are free. During the school year, I’m usually available after 330 pm, Into the evenings and overnight. I have a spacious house, garage, and large back yard. I would keep them in the house, feed them, and give them water. I can take them outside on a leash for a walk since I don’t have a fence.

“Jack was amazing!, I was gone for 7 days and had no need to worry. My dogs were fed, cleaned up after and taken care of each day I was gone. It was my first time trying this service and I must say, I was impressed and realized I made the best decision for my dogs while I was gone. Jack you are the best and the next time I am out of town I will request you again!!!”


About: I have two dogs at home and a cat one. Is it Belgian melon wall the other is a German Shepherd pitbull mix my cat is an orange tabby cat I currently work full-time as an EMT, but I’m looking for extra money to pay for my wedding and honeymoon so im doing this on thr side I will be traveling to anywhere that’s nearby. I won’t be having anyone at my house as my dogs do not like other dogs and my cat does not like other cats.


About: Hi there! I’m Irma. All my life I have lived with dogs. Growing up, I had two corgis and now currently have another! As a pet and wedding photographer, I understand patience but I also know how to achieve a good doggy smile. Spending quality time caring to make sure your fur baby is happy is number one. Running through parks, throwing frisbee, and toy playing with them are just some of the things you can expect from me. I hope you will pick me because you won't have to worry while you are away. If I’m sitting, checking in, or walking for them - they will have my full attention. Your pup will have loads of fun and playtime with me. I want to be able to put you at ease knowing that he or she is safe and having a great time. :) I have a flexible schedule as I work for myself to ensure full responsibility. I can work around a normal 9 to 5 and communicate well with you. I’m comfortable doing what you need me to do in the comfort of your home. If they like to be in the bed or if you would like me to crate, either way they will get love!

shannon w.
“Shannon is simply the best. The most reliable and responsible pet caregiver, she goes above and beyond to make sure your furry friend has everything they need. Not only does she have a deep passion for dogs having grown up on a family breeding facility, she also is highly qualified as a registered veterinary nurse for over 9 years. I have never known someone who is more in tune with my pets. Another great feature of Shannon’s character is her attention to detail. She makes sure that not only your pet is cared for, but so is your home. I could not recommend anyone higher than my recommendation of Shannon to care for your beloved four legged family members!!”

“Irma has cared for my three high-energy, high-demand large dogs on multiple occasions. She is an absolute natural with dogs. I have had her in my own home as well as left my pets with her for overnight pup-sitting. She is extremely trustworthy, and is one of very few people I feel confident leaving my dogs with.”
