Kaitlin did an awesome job checking up on our dog for us! She stayed the full time, sent update photos, and communicated with us after the last visit! Would highly recommend.

Thank you for taking such good care of our cat, Polly. She may not have shown much appreciation, but we certainly felt very comfortable with your care!

About: I've had the joy of caring for my own animals and pet sitting in all shapes and sizes! My husband and I currently have a 5 year old Lab, Poppy and a long-haired cat, Stanley! I work full time during the day but have flexibility that I could stop in or take a break during the day to go for a walk or a potty break with some lovins! Having an idea of your home and your pet's routines and safe spaces is important! Also- to know their mischievous tendencies or quirks will help me to know exactly who they are and what they require!

Audrey was great!! I didn’t worry once that my kitties were being well taken care of. She sent pictures and videos, played with the cats, and communicated with me everyday! 100% will request her in the future.

Murphy was so happy to have Madison take care of him today! The day before Murphy strained his shoulder and I was worried about leaving him but Madison made sure he had lots of love and his needs were met. We very much appreciated her service and look forward to future bookings!

About: I adore animals and I volunteer at the Fulton County Humane Society and have been for two years! During my work there I have helped with very skittish dogs from puppy mills to puppies who make quite the mess! I even have a few of my own pets i have two pitbulls and a rotweiller, one being a rescue so I understand some dogs having struggles with change of routine. I work part time in a restaurant but would be able to house sit on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and saturdays! I work shorter hours so i would be able to fit a stop in most days.’ I understand how this might confuse your dog having someone new come in and help them but because of my experience in the rescue world I know tips and tricks that will allow me to ensure their safety along with your houses!

About: I have been taking care of my 18-year-old cat since she was born. She has recently gone deaf and requires more attention. For two years, I frequently took care of a family with 5 children and 2 Great Danes. I give my cat attention daily, making sure she feels loved and content. This often includes filling her food, water, and changing her litter box, as well as many pets and cuddles. I would love to walk, play with, and take care of your pets. At home, I make sure my cat has a clean litter box and plenty of attention.

Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my three dogs. Two of my dogs take some time to warm up to strangers, and they can be kind of intimidating with their barking. She was so so patient with them, and they warmed up pretty quickly! She was able to gain their trust and give them all lots of pets and take them on walks. She was very thorough in her updates and sent lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Michelle and I will be booking with her again.

About: I’ve had very many different types of dogs in our family through the years. I’ve raised dogs from 6 weeks old to senior. I have experience with giving dogs medicine and following special meal schedules. I have stayed over with dogs and cats for family and friends while they were on vacation, etc. for 20+ years. I absolutely love all animals and promise to love yours too! This is my only source of employment so I can be really flexible and accommodating to your needs and your pet’s needs. Whether it be for potty breaks, taking your pet for a walk, abiding by food/medication schedules, or extended stays. I am available to sit in your home to keep your pet feeling as comfortable and safe as possible. I am familiar with building trust with dogs as well. If you don’t need a daily/nightly sitter, you can count on me to potty your dog at a minimum of every 4 hours.

Natasha was wonderful! She was very thorough and communicative, and we never had to worry about our cats while we were away because she was so on top of everything. She spent plenty of time with them on each visit, and also kept us updated with lots of photos. Our cats are senior citizens and need medications, so they're not the easiest to take care of, but Natasha handled everything incredibly well. We would happily have her watch our cats again.

Claire is wonderful! She is very easy to work with and a great communicator. She went above and beyond giving love and care to our pup. I live in a building down town where parking is difficult and building entry is complicated and she managed it without a hitch. I highly recommend her!!

About: I have had pets my whole entire life and helped my dad and stepmom with their dog rescue. I love being around animals more than people ;-) Currently not working and wanting to only do things that bring me joy. Animals do that for me 100% and I will always treat them as if they were my own. I have a fenced in yard for my Bailey, our 1 and half year old Saint Berdoodle who absolutely loves everyone. I walk her with a vest because she will take off on me. My cat, Jack, is an indoor cat and only got out one time. He was so scared but I just grabbed a towel, cuddled him to me, and he calmed down immediately.
