Pet Sitting in Ellijay

About: I have been around all kinds of animals my entire life, especially dogs. I have been around all ages of dogs and currently have two Australian Shepherd border collie mixes. I worked for two years at a dog daycare, boarding and training facility. Although I am not a dog trainer, I did work with a couple of dogs with the trainers as helpers. I have worked with all kinds of dogs, aggressive dogs, particular dogs, scared dogs and can confidently say I up for a challenge. I am also a mom so nothing can gross me out! If you were looking to do anything at my house, I do have like I said two of my own dogs as well as a daughter under a year old I accept only one- two dogs at a time for my house, but my dogs are super friendly and I actually used them as introduction dogs at the daycare I worked at. Our front yard is not fenced in, but I do have a fenced in pen where I let them do the majority of their bathroom breaks and then I take them on walks through throughout the property. I am currently working part-time because I am a Mom and can only work on the weekends maybe occasionally during the week. My goal is to create a tight schedule that way we have no conflicts. Depending on your dog and the training that you guys have in place, I can help Help with a number of things. If we need to work on keeping them in the crate or keeping them out of the crate, or doing leash walks. I can do little drop in daycare sessions where we play outside. It really depends on what your dog needs, and what the limitations there are.

About: My name is Charity and I am a reliable and responsible dog sitter and walker. I absolutely love all animals, ESPECIALLY dogs and I tend to get along with them very well. I have been dog sitting for close friends for about a year now and am ready to open up for more people. I am currently working a part time job at and am looking for ways to make a little extra money on my free time and spend time with my favorite furry animals. I will follow any requests such as feeding, playtime, or potty requests. It is a top priority of mine to follow all directions from the dog owner while also giving the dog the love and attention they need.

About: I have had pets for most of my life. Friends and family have trusted me with their furry loved ones for the past twenty years of my life. I have helped train many of them. From rabbits, to cats, birds and dogs I have owned and taken care of through the years I have found that I love and enjoy them all the same. I feel intuitive to their needs and feelings and though my husband and I travel often so we don’t feel it fare to have pets right now we can’t wait to have them again someday. In the mean time I would love to help care for yours while you are traveling or needing to work long hours. I am currently working part time and will have plenty of time to be with and care for your animals as much as they need! My husband and I love being at home in the evenings and cooking dinner together as well as going for walks so your pet will have lots of company and fun. We have a pretty big yard with a portion of it fenced in. We also have a neighborhood behind us to take your dog on longer walks throughout the day if they like more exercise. I will try to the best of my ability to give your pet the same schedule, love and care they receive at home from you. If they need to be crated in the evenings or when we are not at home that is perfectly okay. We have facilities on site to keep them indoors and out of the weather.

About: I’ve taken care of and owned all kinds of dogs my entire life. I have experience with rescues, puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with short temperaments. I recently graduated from The University of Georgia this past May and am living with my parents in Ellijay this summer before starting grad school this Fall! I am able to visit your pup multiple times throughout the day or stay overnight if needed! I have a rescue pit bull/lab mix named Tux who my family and I adore. Unfortunately he is not dog friendly so my house is not available for boarding.

“First time using Rover, Briana did great and loved getting lots of pictures !”

About: Ive had animals my whole life, and ive always had wonderful doggy/kitty companions to come home to.. Senior, and puppies! Ive home trained quite a few dogs as my family works with The Chatsworth Humane Society, bringing home fosters all the time. Ive walked, trained, and even helped some dogs come out of their shell! Its one of my absolute favorite things to do. Im actively in online schooling, so any time of day/night can work for me! I do a lot of traveling for music, however that will be known at least a month in advance! I will always be up for pet sitting in any house, ive got a Black lab mix who is high in energy so it takes a lot for a puppy to wear me out! I don't crate first thing, it would be my last choice to use a crate whilst being with your baby! I will crate if asked to, however my main goal is so your companions needs are met and then some! I go for walks every hour, give or take depending on the needs of the animal(s).

“Amanda is amazing!! She took such great care of LeeRoy. We will definitely reach out to her in the future. Thank you for everything!!”

“Bonnie is a fantastic sitter! My two kitties- who can be a bit skiddish- both responded well and engaged with her from the first day. You can tell she really cares. Bonnie was also excellent at communication. It was a joy to receive multiple pictures everyday while we were away. I highly recommend her services and I will definitely be using her again!”

“Katirna watched our two cats over the Christmas holidays. She made our time away stress free by keeping us informed, taking pictures and consistently being on time to care for our cats. Would definitely rebook!”

I also received training with pet seizures and am experienced in caring for senior dogs. I offer grooming services as well! Please feel free to send me a message :) As a dog mom, I know I’m pretty timid just leaving my baby with new people. I want to know that he’s going to be safe, loved on, and never neglected. I spend a lot of time with him during the day, making sure he’s receiving the right amount of exercise, training, and everything he would need to keep growing healthy and strong. I would love to provide this service for other dog parents and their fur babies! I want you to feel safe leaving your precious angel with me, and leave with the knowledge that they’re going to have a fun, enriching, and safe time in my care. My fur babies are my whole world and I try to make their time with me as fun and as enriching as possible. Whether thats playing games, learning new tricks, getting exercise, or winding down with a nice frozen kong treat.
