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!

Kaitlin was great with my 2 cats! I was worried about leaving my 14 year old hyperthyroid cat while I traveled, but she handled his feeding and medication great and kept me up to date on his symptoms and demeanor every day. My younger cat is very independent, but Kaitlin made sure he got lots of brushing and treats and I came home to 2 very happy kitties with full bellies, and clean water and litter :-)

About: I've had the joy of loving dogs my whole life! My husband and I currently have a 5 year old Lab, Poppy and a long-haired cat, Stanley! They're our everythings! 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!

About: I love pets of all kinds and sizes! I have done dog sitting for many family members with many different breeds in their homes, and have done drop/in visits for friends when they’re away. I have also done overnight stays for many nights for my sister, who has 2 dogs and a cat. I currently work as salon manager at a tanning salon which a varying schedule. However, I always have Fridays off and am available for pet care all day on Fridays! Wednesdays and Thursdays I am available anytime before noon! I do not have any pets of my own, so your pet will have my full attention! I have a two bedroom apartment, so there is plenty of room for play.

We’re so happy that a friend suggested Rover and we met Madison! Our pups are worn out and well-loved today after her visit. Such a great feeling knowing that our babies are well taken care of while we’re at work.

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!

Bree is an outstanding sitter and a lovely human being! She cared for my and my partner’s cats (3) while we were out of town for a couple days. Her detailed check-ins (descriptive and timely updates, soooo many photos! 🥰) eased our hearts while away from the cats. It’s also so clear how much Bree loves doing what she does, AND my super shy cat LOVED playing with her. Bree, thanks for all you did for Hank, Moon Pie, and Kitten! 🥹❤️ I’d love to work with you again.

Margaret and Travis were absolutely incredible cat sitters! We were able to enjoy our vacation with zero worries thanks to their reliability, constant communication, and photos and videos they sent us. They truly went above and beyond to make sure our cats were comfortable and happy — we could tell our babies were in the best hands. We will 100% be booking with them again and highly recommend them to any pet owner looking for trustworthy, caring sitters!

About: My family grew up with a cat only because my brother snuck it into the house one day. My siblings and I always pet sat for others though. I was lucky enough to take care of my roommates pitbull when I got older. My wife and I now have 3 dogs, 2 cats, and lots of plants. We love when our cane corsos, pitbulls, german shepards and kitten cousins come over. I will love your pets like my own. Whether that pet be a dog, cat, snake, plant, or other living thing. I got laid off from my job, so my availability right now, is always! Flexibility is key and I have it. Go ahead and ask. I work in the most trusted profession. A profession of caring and empathy. I will follow your rules for your pets. All pets outside will be monitored at all times. Common sense will be followed when opening doors to prevent escaping pets. Baby gates, doors, and leashes will be used as needed. The house is big enough to accommodate most pets. Meet and greets are required to make sure your pets get along with my pets when staying at my house.

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.

About: Hello! I’m a recent college graduate and a devoted pet lover working from a home office. I offer reliable, flexible, and high-quality care for your furry family members, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and entertained while you are away. My Pet Care Experience My passion for animal care is rooted in a lifetime of experience with both dogs and cats. I am currently the proud owner of three cats with unique needs: Stomy (my rescued Orange Tabby) taught me patience, Sheba (my Highlander Lynx) keeps me active with high-energy play, and Atticus (my Siamese) taught me the importance of constant social engagement. In addition to my cats, I have extensive experience with dogs. Until recently, I was a dedicated owner to three rescued dogs who passed away peacefully last year. Caring for them, especially in their golden years, gave me deep experience with senior pet care, administering medication, and providing the gentle, compassionate support that older or shy animals need. Whether you have an energetic puppy or a slow-moving senior, I have the hands-on experience to make them feel safe and comfortable. Services & Activities I Provide When I visit your home, my goal is to keep your pet's routine consistent and stress-free. My drop-in visits and house-sitting services include: * Feeding & Hygiene: Adhering strictly to feeding schedules, refreshing water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, and picking up waste. * Enrichment & Exercise: For cats, this means interactive play to burn off energy. For dogs, this includes stimulating walks, fetch, or backyard playtime. * Safety & Home Care: As a pet owner, I am hyper-aware of "door dashers." I practice strict safety protocols when entering and exiting to prevent escapes. I also bring in mail, water plants, and ensure your home is left tidy and secure. * Updates: You will receive detailed updates and high-quality photos after every visit, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. My Schedule & Availability Because I work remotely from my home office, my schedule is my biggest asset for your peace of mind. Unlike sitters with rigid 9-to-5 commutes, I have open flexibility throughout the day. * I can easily accommodate mid-day drop-ins, early mornings, or evening visits. * I am available for last-minute requests if your plans change. * I have the time to stay a little longer if your pet seems lonely or needs extra cuddles. I understand that inviting a sitter into your home requires a great deal of trust. I treat every pet I meet with the same affection I give my own crew, and I treat your home with the utmost respect. My schedule: FLEXIBLE I currently work remotely from my home office, providing me with open availability throughout the week. Because I am home-based, I am highly reliable and able to commit to specific time slots that suit your pet's feeding and medication schedule. I have the freedom to step away from my desk to ensure your pets get the quality time and attention they deserve, exactly when they need it. Safety begins the moment I unlock your door. As a cat dad to three active felines, I am hyper-aware of "door darters" and curious paws. I practice a strict "look down before you step" policy and always double-check that doors and windows are securely latched before leaving. inside the home, I keep a close eye on your cat’s health and mood, ensuring they are eating, using the litter box normally, and engaging comfortably. I also make sure to leave your home exactly as I found it—tidy, secure, and peaceful.
