“Paola was extremely attentive to our energetic dog and made sure that he was well taken care of during our time away! We highly recommend choosing Paola as a sitter. She’s a genuine animal lover, and made sure to meet my doggy before we went out of town. Also, she took photos of Bluey every time she visited which always warmed my heart. I’m highly satisfied with Paola’s services and I feel more than content with having her watch my baby again in the future.”
“Amazing experience. He sent me updated pictures of my girl the entire time I was out of town. She was very happy with him and warmed up almost immediately. I would definitely book with Triston again. 10/10”
“We are so lucky to have found Liani. She is very bright and gave us so much comfort. Her visit summaries were written perfectly and gave us a great perspective of how our boys were responding. Liani is wonderful and a rare find. We look forward to her looking after our boys in the future.”
“We booked Sherry on short notice, over Spring Break, to watch our new rescue. She did an amazing job and I loved being notified when she was in our home and the photos helped my daughter feel reassured that her kitty was taken car of. I'd highly recommend Sherry's services and will definitely be booking her again.”
“Linque took awesome care of our two cats! I could tell they are very comfortable with her. She sent a bunch of pictures and provided updates in the rover card, which was greatly appreciated while we were out of town. Will be contacting again for future drop-ins!”
About: Animal care has always been second hand nature to me. I have had dogs as little as a snow white Maltese Puddle and a brown and black yorkie to something as big a red nose Pitbull and a German Sheperd Pharaoh Hound mix. I have 4 years of on the job animal care experience from when I was employed with Cobb County Police Department (Animal Control Unit) and an abundance of personal experience. Currently I work as a Security Enforcement Agent and have been thinking about animal care again. I hope to be able to be able to assist you and your animal soon. Currently I work fulltime as a Security Enforcement Agent and would like to get into animal care again without leaving my current job fully. I am technically a contractor so adjusting and or changes to my schedules are normal for me and won't be hard to do. The way I care for my dog is probably not gonna be the same for you. But my dog sleeps with me, is allowed on the couch and usually gets multiple walks on my off days and longer walks on work days. I let her free feed, one scoop in the morning that she is free to snack on throughout the day. If its finished before 5/6pm she gets a half scoop. I also give her daily vitamins, dental bones and treats. Lots of love and spoiling. But when it comes to in the clients home there rules for the pet(s) are my rules for the pet(s)
“Jessica took good care of my two cats. During the meet and greet she was friendly and attentive with instructions. She followed through and I look forward to having her drop in again.”
“Kaylah was honestly the best I could’ve asked for. My animals were well taken care of and they enjoyed their time. She was reliable, responsive and provided pictures daily”
About: I have worked with a variety of animals including chickens, dogs, cats and horses. I treat every animal like my own. With an eye for detail I will be the most attentive to the animals you call family. I am a college student and taekwondo lover looking to make some extra cash for the summer and upcoming fall semester doing something I love. Seeing as I am setting my own schedule this is perfect for me. Every instruction provided will be followed to the letter and anytime you want to check in you are encouraged to. I will care for your pets as I do my own like family. I will listen to the animal and contact you if anything appears concerning or out of the ordinary.
About: I’ve cared for my aunt’s dog while she was on military leave and we were the best of friends! I’m familiar with walking, cleaning up after, and keeping animals fed. I also love to have fun, so your pet will not be bored! I can give lots of attention and care for any pet I’m with. I’m currently a college student taking online summer classes, and I’ve got the spare time to care for any pets throughout the week! My availability is open for just about most days! When visiting your home, I can ensure the comfort and happiness of your pet in a familiar environment and meet all their needs. When walking, I will always keep a close eye on pets and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while we are out.

“Amber was amazing! She was attentive, kind, and gave our pups so much love. She cleaned up the house and brought in all our packages without even being asked. We will definitely be booking with her again for any future trips. Thanks Amber!!!”
About: My love for animals is newer, but as genuine as it can get! I recently got my first pet, a domestic shorthair kitty, and have fallen in love with furry friends! I’m looking to spend as much time with animals as much as I can nowadays, as they bring me so much joy and companionship. I’m best suited to do drop-in visits and boarding! I WFH full time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. However, I’m most available during the night and weekends to do drop-in visits. I can accommodate whatever times work best for you! I have a variety of cat trees, scratching posts, beds, and toys to make for a comforting environment to host furry friends. I allow pets on my furniture and try my best to make any visitor feel at home. At client’s homes, I’m sure to provide great care such as cleaning the litter box, vacuum or sweep if needed, replenish food/water, and of course love on their pets while they’re away.
“DaVianna jumped in to save the day for a last minute self care trip to Vegas. My baby Venus took a second to warm up (per usual ?) but she warmed up to her nonetheless. Venus seemed to enjoy her so much while I was gone and I would definitely book again!”
