“Madeline was a super star taking care of Ellie Mae! Very responsive and patient, she sent us pictures of her while we were on our trip. Super satisfied and happy with her experience with Ellie Mae. We will use her again for sure.”


“Kailyn was awesome! She watched our pup and two cats for a couple days and honestly couldn’t have picked someone better. She gave updates and sent pictures/videos which were super helpful in easing my mind. Would definitely recommend Kailyn, she treated our pets as her own!”



“Megan is the best! Not only is she warm and wonderful with the dogs (one pooch kept looking for her throughout our first night back!) but also she is responsible, communicative, and sent photos while we were away for 8 days…and how really nice to come home and find everything clean and tidy. Of course, we missed our pooches but were able to enjoy our vacation knowing they were in Megan’s conscientious care. Clearly, Megan is our first choice for future bookings!”


“Sarah was incredibly thoughtful and kind and caring for our little Boykin spaniel, Fudge. She posted pictures several times a day and kept us informed with how he was doing each day. She even made him an egg for breakfast every day! We love her and look forward to booking her again in the future.”


“Baylee was the perfect sitter for my pup while I had to run out of town. She sent cute pictures and videos and communicated really well! I definitely plan to use Baylee the next time I need a sitter.”


“Caitlin was such a blessing! From the beginning of reaching out with the request, to house sitting my puppy S’mores, Caitlin was nothing but amazing! She communicated throughout the stay, which was so appreciated! Definitely will be requesting to have her watch S’mores again!”


About: I have taken care of multiple animals. I have experience in providing medication as well as dog walking. I’m excited to have the opportunity to love on your fur baby while you are away. I currently work Tuesday through Friday. I’m available for lunch time walks and evening care on these days. I am mostly available Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I live on 10 acres and have space for your fur babies to run around. I currently have 1 small dog and two cats that get along well with other animals. I have the ability to crate your babies as well. If I am in your home, I strive to make your fur baby feel comfortable and safe.

“Mallory took great care of my apartment, fish, and cat. Percy is slow to warm up to new people, but she treated him to his favorite hobby of balcony time and I knew he was in wonderful hands! Would definitely book again!!”


“Emily was absolutely incredible! Highly recommend booking with her. She sent me updates and photos which was wonderful. Everything went very smooth, she is very caring with animals and respectful of our home during her stay here. Thank you for watching our 2 dogs, we will keep you in mind for future stays!”


“Donna did great with our two dogs while we were out of town. She also did a few light housekeeping tasks for us upon request! We felt comfortable having her in our home while we were away.”

“Finding someone to care for our pets and home was genuinely was biggest concern prior to traveling. Gwen was a wonderful sitter and completely took my worries aways. Her attention to detail and flexibility calmed my demanding pets while we were away. I highly recommend Gwen to anyone looking for someone reliable that will ensure your fur babies are cared for, loved and safe. Thank you Gwen!”


“Our babies had the best time with Makenna. She sends lots of pictures and will keep you updated if you want. We have a pup on medication that she administered that to. We will definitely use her again.”


“Myriah did an excellent job watching my two pups! I was probably more needy than they were but Myriah was on top of it and provided me updates of when she’d be there and how long she’d be gone. We had her stay overnight as they’re not used to being alone. For reference we have a Great Dane and Pit mix. Would highly recommend her and intend to use her again!”



About: With over five years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I’m attentive to each dog’s unique needs — from energetic play sessions and long walks to quiet cuddle time. I’m experienced with basic training reinforcement, feeding schedules, bathing, and giving medication when needed. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment so your dog feels happy and secure while you’re away, giving you complete peace of mind. Available for house sitting any day of the week. On Mon–Wed, I won’t be at the home 24/7, but I’ll still provide regular check-ins, potty breaks every 2–4 hours, and overnight stays as needed. Whether I’m caring for your pets in your home or mine, I treat them like family — the same way I care for my own two fur babies, Romi (my sweet Schnauzer) and Mocha (my playful Yorkie). Every day, I make sure they get plenty of fresh water, nutritious meals on schedule, regular potty breaks, and walks that match their energy levels. We play, cuddle, and keep a routine that makes them feel secure and loved. I bring that same approach to every pet I look after — paying attention to their unique personality, comfort level, and needs. I’m mindful of safety on walks, keeping pets away from hazards and monitoring them closely around other animals. During pet sitting visits, I make sure your pet gets not just the basics, but also companionship, mental stimulation, and affection. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a midday walk, or staying overnight, I’ll follow your instructions to the letter while giving your pet all the love and care they deserve.

“Hannah was great, we did a meet and greet the week before and went through the routine. My dogs really liked Hannah and I was happy they felt comfortable with her. While I was away she sent photos of my dogs and kept me updated on how they were doing. My little one does not like fireworks and I was grateful to have her keeping a close eye on him. I would recommend Hannah to anyone and I would work with her again. Thanks Hannah for helping out on the 4th of July weekend!”


About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, train and bathe their pets. I am a self employed barber and i am home full time so i am always readily available to care for your pets needs. I live a very versatile lifestyle and with my outgoing personality I’m sure your pets will feel right at home. Alongside myself i am accompanied by my fiancé whom shares the same interests. She’s a newly graduated veterinarian technician as of May of 2024. What can we say we love what we do! I look forward to assisting each and every one of you and i can assure you that your pet will have the time of their life while in my care even if it’s a quick stay to tag along on a fishing adventure haha! I'm currently working from home, so I have all of the time in the world to play with your baby! I'm available anytime if needed for any services. With my very versatile lifestyle i am able to be on the same page with any age and any temperament of set pet. Couch potato? Need to burn some energy? Just reach out and i am certain that you and your pets needs will be fulfilled! In my home your pets are allowed to roam freely and are not crated unless stated otherwise. I do also have crates and a ton of other resources such as collars, leashes, extra bowls etc, if needed. I do have a huge back yard and am located very close to the Augusta Canal Trail which i oftenly hike. My self and my veterinarian technician fiancé also offer bathing/grooming services if requested such as nail trims and anal glad expressions. Any special request in regards to care, please let know.

About: I have two dogs of my own. I had dogs when I was younger as well. I’ve had my dogs since they were 12 weeks old. I am currently in school for my masters degree so I am always here with my family and ready to assist with yours as well. My dogs are considered my family. We provide eachother with love and emotional support. Also, providing a safe environment is just as important to me with a fenced yard and the attention that my dogs deserve. Thank you in advance for considering me!

“Tanée was amazing! I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a more than reasonably priced house/pup sitter. Not only did she look after my fur baby with the love and care she’d give her own animals, she also looked after my home and even did some cleaning! I’m so impressed with her work ethic and the amount of effort and energy she put into keeping me updated on my puppy’s wellbeing. She really was such a blessing to find! I’m definitely booking again with her. She clearly loves doing what she does. Thank you Tanée!!”
