About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love for animals, personalized attention, and dependable care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I have experience working with a wide range of pets, including puppies that need consistency and training, as well as senior dogs that require gentle handling, medication management, and extra patience. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and personality to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in your absence. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or special care instructions, I go above and beyond to treat your pets like family. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I build my schedule around each pet’s needs—whether that means early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening feeding and snuggles. I plan my day to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Because I genuinely enjoy being around animals, caring for them doesn’t feel like a task—it’s something I look forward to every day. Whether it’s a regular weekly visit or full-time care, I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their well-being in everything I do. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your furry friend becomes part of the family. I maintain a consistent routine that includes regular feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and quiet rest. Pets have access to cozy resting spots, supervised outdoor time (if applicable), and plenty of love and attention. I limit the number of pets I host to ensure personalized care and reduce stress. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to maintain your pet’s normal routine and environment, minimizing disruption and anxiety. I follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, crate training, or behavioral cues—and keep the home tidy and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. My goal is to provide compassionate, reliable care wherever your pet feels most comfortable.

About: With over 11 years of experience caring for my own dogs, I truly understand the bond between pets and their humans. I know that separation anxiety can be tough for our furry friends, and that’s why I go above and beyond to create a comforting and engaging environment while you’re away. My approach combines love, patience, and fun activities tailored to each pet's unique personality, ensuring they feel safe and cherished until you’re back home. Trust me to provide your beloved pets with the same care and attention I give my own! Thanks to my flexible remote work schedule, I’m able to offer convenient drop-in pet care services throughout the day and into the evenings. Whether your furry friend needs a midday walk, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I can easily accommodate your pet’s needs while you’re away. My availability ensures that your pets receive the attention and care they deserve, all while you focus on your day with peace of mind. Your pets will feel loved and supported every step of the way! I’m dedicated to providing personalized care for your pets in the comfort of their own home through my drop-in services. Each visit includes fun, engaging walks tailored to your pet’s energy level, as well as plenty of playtime to keep them entertained and happy. If your furry friend needs a little extra pampering, I also offer baths upon request to keep them looking and feeling their best. With a focus on their well-being and happiness, I’ll ensure your pets feel loved and secure while you're away!

About: I have taken care of pretty much every pet imaginable at some point or another in my lifetime. I currently am a dog mom to a 5 year old boxer, servant to a handicapped senior kitty, and treat dealer to several horses. I am a retired police officer and a caregiver of a friend who is paralyzed (plus her senior cat). I also like to stay busy so pet sitting helps me to stay active as well as gain new acquaintances near home. The caregiving that I perform is pretty set in times of day and I have plenty of time available to help others with their needs. Each pet has different needs so those would be individualized. Being able to feel comfortable with whomever is coming by to feed, play, or walk them is important.

“Lindsay have been doing check ins on my Boston lilly for 2 weeks now. And she has had good communication and always make sure lilly gets plenty of exercise and has time to cool down safely after play time. Atm I plan on keeping her as a sitter for a long term. Thank you Lindsey 😊”

About: I own & sit for many years. I’ve trained & i’m open to elderly pets. Animals are truly my passion! I understand that everyone needs a vacation from time to time and I’m here to secure the pet sitter option. I work part time so I have plenty of time for drop in and walks! Open to dogs & cats no matter how large or small. I have 2 German shepherds and the are complete opposites. I understand the need & wants from a dog that likes to sleep and occasionally pet and one that has enough energy to play sunrise and way past bedtime.

About: I am a 37 year old woman who has worked at vet clinics as a groomer/tech for 10 years and 1 years as a professional dog walker and pet sitter. I do offer service for more than dogs and kitties. I also have experience caring for reptiles and birds. If you have livestock please feel free to message me. I have had a variety of pets my entire life both domestic and livestock. I worked as a dog walker, pet sitter, and groomer in Memphis then eventually Boston. I am now in Georgia. I stay home full time in a house on 14 acres. We have a 500sqft fenced in play yard for the dogs. Your pet will get to enjoy lots of play time and walks (on leash) or off leash if you have an e-collar, play time in the play yard, kiddie pools for swimming during warmer months, and lots of comfy naps on the many dog beds we have for our guests. Feel free to bring your pet's bed, smelling their own home can make them feel more comfortable. I live with my boyfriend who also loves pets! We do have an 8 year old spayed cat that is used to dogs staying over. We also have a 4 year old, neutered German Shepherd mix, a 4 year old hound mix, and a 6 year old Jack Russell mix. So your pet would have plenty of interaction both human and animal! If your dog isn't cat friendly no big deal, we have a cat room! Just message me. Monthly flea and tick as well as heartworm prevention is recommended as we do live in the woods. I do require proof of up to date vaccinations. I am a trained pet groomer so I am very familiar with taking care of a pet's coat if brushing is required. If you'd like me to give your pet a bath, trim nails, express anal glands, clean ears, brush teeth feel free to inquire about prices. Disclaimer- Prices depend on breed and condition of the coat and services requested It is not just the flat $35. am currently not set up to do haircuts in my home but I can do basic sanitary cuts, trim faces, nails, ears, and bath. About this sitter: I am a 36 year old woman who has worked in a vet clinic setting for 8 years. I am comfortable with all breeds/sizes as well as special needs pets. I am fairly quiet. We enjoy a good Netflix binge,. cooking, museums, video games, hiking, fishing, and reading. My boyfriend and I have a 6 year old cat and a 2 year old pup so if your pup is staying in our home we do need them to be cat friendly. Why I love dog sitting I have grown up with dogs and other animals my entire life. I have worked at vet clinics since 2005 as a pet groomer but was also taught to perform tech duties. I had a highly successful dog walking and boardinf business in Boston. I have former client references available. The household Is a 3 bedroom home on 14 acres.

This also covers mail, packages, plant care, and leaving your home exactly the way it was left. Many dogs (and cats) prefer to be in their own environment My experience administering medication Having worked at vet clinics and also having a family pet that required daily medication, I am quite comfortable administering mediation. My pets and I have our own routine but I will keep your pet on their normal schedule. I am home 7 days a week. We have a large fenced,play yard that encompasses the front and back yard for off leash fun. I do hikes on our back acreage on leash or e-collar if your dog has good recall.

I encourage clients to email me or leave a written schedule and any important information about the house and get information.

About: I got my first dog at 11. He was a dachshund/corgi mix. A few years later my family got 2 GSD dogs. I taught all of them to do basic tricks and to walk nicely on a leash. I also would take my Aunt's pit bull and westy terrier out on walks and watched them for her. I've volunteered at veterinary clinic doing basic care on the pets boarded there. I am curranty working part time so I will have plenty of time throughout the week to checking on your fur babies. I have a morning shift but, I'll be able to let them out and feed them in the morning and then have plenty of time to play/ take them out on walks in the evening. My house does not have a fenced in yard so I'm am unable to board pets at my place while we find a contractor to build one, but I'm will to commute to take care of anyone's pets

About: I’ve been caring for pets professionally and personally for several years, and it’s truly something I’m passionate about. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to mellow seniors and I always take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine as a structured, essential part of the day just like eating or working. • Morning: Feed pets, refresh water, take dogs for a walk or clean litter boxes. • Midday: Walks, playtime, or drop-in visits if providing services to clients. • Evening: Dinner, another walk or potty break, brushing or light grooming. • Safe environment: Pet-proofed spaces, separate areas if needed for different pets. • Feeding on schedule: Following owner instructions exactly, including dietary restrictions. • Exercise/playtime: Supervised yard play, walks. • Comfort & rest: Cozy resting areas, routines that mimic their home life to reduce stress. • Updates to owners: Daily photos or messages to reassure and stay transparent.

“MacKenzi was absolutely amazing! She had great communication and did everything exactly like we asked her! She has a wonderful personality and is a kind soul 💗 We will be asking her to watch our cats again 🥰💗”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. We have always had dogs in our home, and we currently have five furry friends living with us. Neighbors, friends, family, and coworkers have all relied on me to give the best care to their best friends. I walk, feed, bathe, and play with dogs of all kinds and sizes. I would love to do the same for you and your friend. I currently work full time in middle Georgia, but have time during the day to take a break, have time in the evenings, and have open weekends to care for your pet. In my own home, I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for my own dogs to run and play. In your home, I would use the available area to make sure your dog is taken care of. I am willing to take pets on walks in the surrounding neighborhoods, as well as playtime in the dog’s home. I currently work full time, so my care during the week days would be in the mornings, during a lunch break between 11-1, and again in the evenings. During the weekends, I have open availability to walk, dog sit, and care for your pet. Safety and high quality pet care are my main concerns. I will always use the available space to ensure both myself and your beloved pet remain safe. I am very experienced with leashed walks, both in public areas and private areas. I will always do my very best to ensure your pet is safe and stress free in whatever environment they prefer to be in.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 16 so I have lots of experience. For example, I dog sit for neighbors in my neighborhood and family friends. I’m currently employed at Camp Bow Wow doggy daycare and have been there for a year now. I also volunteered at the humane society for a little over a year. I treat each pup like it’s my own. I’m very caring, give great cuddles and knowledgeable on dogs behavior no matter the breed and age. So if you’re looking for a sitter I would be more than happy to watch your babies! Pet care has been my passion for as long as I can remember and it’s been my full time job for over a year now. I can be available at anytime you need me. Just shoot me a message and we can schedule a meet and greet, I look forward to meeting you! I would be able to stay at your house and would not be able to take your pup to my house. Depending on the breed and age of your dog I could make an exception if it’s a puppy that would be doable. But it would be easier for me to stay at your house just for safety reasons if your dog wouldn’t get along with my 2 dogs.

About: Sometimes when i dog sit I think to myself “I am really being payed to do one of my favorite things!” And it brings me so much joy. I feel like that is where the love comes from in dog sitting. If you don’t love doing it, then what love is there to be felt by the animal. There has to be love in every thing you do and in every word you say to them. I treat animals with respect as i was taught to and I make sure that when you are gone, your furry companion is getting almost all the love and attention they need until you can come back and give them your own again :). I specialize in caring for the animals that you may struggle to find care for! (The ones that may catch a bad rep: Pitts, Rotties, Dobermans, or Danes) I assure you that all of your friends and/or children are safe and cared for with me! I work part time throughout the week and my shifts are only 5 hours at max(with a break in between). So I have all the rest of the day to care for your pets. I do not offer daycare services currently. When given any rules on how to respect or care for your home (and your privacy) I can assure you i will be very quick to acknowledge and abide by your boundaries.

About: I have the most experience with small dogs since I had a schnoodle for many years. She was my best friend and we lost her in 2020. I loved giving her baths, walking with her, playing with her, and just sitting with her, so I have experience in those areas with small animals. I am currently an educator and I have a new baby on the way (December 2023) and so I would be mainly available on weekends, including Friday's after 3pm. We of course have holidays off and so I would be able to care for your pets on those days as well. Depending on your work schedule I could always walk pets any time after 3 during the weekdays and any time during the weekends when I am off. I know everyone cares for their pets differently and so whatever rules you have specific for your fur babies and home I would respect. I personally did not allow my dog in the kitchen or on furniture but if that is something you do not mind, please let me know. I do not abuse or harm animals to get them to comply. I will always find other alternatives for that.

About: I've always loved animals. I've raised everything from dogs to cats to rabbits to birds. For the most part, I love spending just as much time with animals as I do with people! I pretty much have an open schedule and would love to spend time with your fur babies. I'm available 24/7 to help when you need me. I have a fenced in your to keep your babies safe and can crate them whenever necessary. I prefer to let them run free though. I am a Realtor with Keller Williams Cityside, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm usually available anytime I'm needed. This includes on short notice, nights and weekends. I have a fenced yard, but can crate your pets if needed. However, as long as they are comfortable, I prefer to let them run free in the house and/or yard.

About: I have been around animals since I was a baby and caring for them since I was five years old! I have four fur babies and would love to take care of yours. I have personally trained two of my own puppies to do basic tricks (sit, lay down, speak, wait). I will be returning to Georgia on the first of May. I will be actively trying to find a job, but open to communicating about times that I am needed to help with the babies! I love taking care of animals and believe every boy is a good boy! I care about fur babies like they are real babies! They deserve it after all! I love to play and cuddle and just be in the presence of animals!
