“Laura was absolutely amazing! She came by the day before watching my baby, Ollie to meet him and ask me everything about him. On the day of watching him, she kept me updated with great detail and even sent so many pictures as well. Ollie had a great time and was so good and happy when I came home. I even came home to a lovely note from Laura thanking me for letting me trust her with my pup. I definitely will be using Laura again! She is the best”

About: I have owned and watched a variety of animals. I have watched dogs in the past for my neighbors and family. I will let them run around outside and throw the ball with them. I also let them roam around the house most of the day. I will also take my pets on a walk as long as the weather is decent! I do not want them to overheat or get really wet because of rain. I do work full time but I have flexibility with my schedule and am able to be home a lot. My work days is normally around 6 hours. I use to work as a vet tech so I am well versed with how to handle animals and ensure they are properly taken care of. I have a fenced yard and I let them run around for a few minutes if I don’t go outside with them. I don’t usually leave my pets outside longer than 10 or 15 mins without being outside. The yard is big enough for them to run around and tire themselves. I also have a dog park in my neighborhood that I will take them to if no one is in the park. It is very spacious and allows for them to get a lot of energy out!

About: I cannot remember a time that I was not a dog lover, care-taker, trainer, helper, owner, companion, ect. I have a special affinity for the way a dog will be so loving & loyal no matter the circumstance. I currently have a very flexible part-time position that provides me ample time to care for fur-babies! I do have a family to consider so my availability will need flexibility at times but I look forward to providing the care needed. I do have a fenced in yard as well as a 2 year old skye terrier myself providing the space and companionship needed. I also have a car that will allow me to commute to a clients home as needed.

“Dillon was heaven sent when my regular sitter had to relocate. He was on time, thorough with directions, and flexible. Will hire again.”

About: I’ve had 5 years of experience caring for my own and many others beloved four legged family members, I’m hardworking, trustworthy, reliable I love any pets and would love to care for yours whether that be for a day out, vacation, ect. I’m currently working part time and would have plenty of time to make sure your pet is well taken care of while your away from home.

About: I'm 35 years old with 2 dogs myself. I have had a great deal of professional and non-professional pet care and training experience since I was a child on a farm in Northern Vermont 🙂. From raising different horses, pigs, ducks, geese, goats, chickens, and rabbits, I enjoy animals of all shapes and sizes. I can handle big or small and am happy to accommodate and take suggestions 😊 & recommendations anytime. Thank you, looking forward to helping with your safe, healthy & happy pet care experiences. ~Willow I work from home & I can accommodate drop-in visits, dog walks, and more. If you choose my place, I'm proud of my clean one-story home, free of stairs, perfect for older or disabled pets, and an open interior for the more playful ones, too. My pets and I are by nature very routine, and I understand the need to keep your pets' schedule the same to minimise stress, separation anxiety, or any unwanted behavior. I want you to as the pet parent, to feel comfortable just as I want your pet to feel comfortable. If visiting your place, i.e., drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, I will share pet updates and follow all your recommended asks. I am newly located in Kingsland, Georgia, from Nassau County, Florida. I am happy to accommodate any special needs your furry friend may have at home or mine. With large open areas in the house and two exit doors, my home is designed to be both welcoming and practical. My home has a fully fenced-in backyard & your pet's comfort and safety are my top priorities! I will follow all your recommendations while being happy to accommodate any special needs. A key to a successful pet care experience is not only maintaining the animal's basic needs but also overdelivering in compassion, time, effort, and patience. All this while keeping your pet's normal routine, just adding me as their guardian at the time of care.

I have rasied large medium and small dogs so i have experience with many diffrent breeds. Having that experience also has allowed me to work with non neutered/spayed and neutered/spayed.

About: I've hand rereared kittens and puppies from 3 days old to house broken. I have had reptiles and all kinds of fuzzy animals, I haven't met anything I didn't love immediately.

About: I lived in the Dominican Republic as a missionary for 4.5 years. I’m the founder of a non-profit called Dogs of the DR. We fostered orphaned puppies, cared for minor wounds, vaccinated dogs and cats, and flew strays to the U.S. for a better life. I’ve worked with veterinarians in the DR and the U.S., so I have medical knowledge in the case of an emergency. I love running, and I take my dog with me every time I go. I have flexible hours. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from 2 weeks-old, to 14 years-old. I own a car, and I’m willing to travel 50 miles to help out. I allow dogs on the furniture, and in bed. I have no allergies that could prevent me from being useful. I work remotely, so I am home throughout the day for potty breaks, playtime, or midday walks. I am to step away periodically throughout my day to tend to your pets' needs. I understand that I am in your pet's space and will respect their routines, rituals and boundaries. I don't mind animals in the bed or on the furniture, and I can let them out as often as needed.

8. Noelle C.
“Noelle has a very calm demeanor that attracts dogs. She helped me when I was a pet sitter/dog Walker by walking dogs in a safe manner. She also played with them and even let them sleep with her in her bed if that is what the pet was accustomed to at home. She cared for our new puppy almost completely when I worked full time. I highly and without reserve recommend her for a position with River.”

“I can't say enough about Willow. Not only is she always on time but she always goes above and beyond. She takes them to the park, works on obedience training, brings their favorite treats. She has formed a special bond with them and I know that anytime Willow is caring for them we have nothing to worry about.

13. Chrissy D.

“I highly recommend Chrissy as a pet sitter. All animals, even shy and skeptical ones, love her. She has a gentle way. Our dog milo adores her and her huge yard. Her dog gets along great with ours. We never have to worry about our pets when we leave town. Another great thing is if you have an animal that doesn't get along well with others her backyard is fenced off in different ways where they have their own part of the yard to play in but wouldn't interact with another dog. She is so accommodating and willing to change things to try to make it work best for us. We absolutely love her as a pet sitter.”
