“Paris & Saint J are so lucky to have Jessi take care of them. Jessi was very responsive and she took such wonderful care of my cats while I was away. I really appreciated how responsive she was —always quick to reply to my messages and keep me updated with photos and little notes about how the cats were doing. Even better, she was proactive about making sure my cats’ needs were met, from playtime to feeding and even noticing the little details that keep my cats happy and comfortable. It’s such a relief to know my pets are in such caring and attentive hands. Thank you so much, Jessi!”


“Juli did an exceptional job pet sitting for our two cats, one of which is diabetic. Her attention to detail and genuine care for our pets were evident from the start. She followed the feeding and medication schedule for our diabetic cat flawlessly, ensuring he received his insulin shots on time. Both cats were relaxed and happy when we returned, and Juli kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip. We highly recommend Juli for anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Juli, for taking such great care of our fur babies!”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience with both puppies and senior dogs, as well as my background in training. I’ve raised a goldendoodle/poodle mix, Willa, from 8 weeks old, and she knows numerous tricks! I also have experience caring for an anxious senior chihuahua, Cassie, helping her become playful and trusting through patience and calm energy. I’m adaptable and can work with dogs of any energy level, from high-energy pups to more relaxed seniors, always tailoring care to their unique needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I work online with a lot of flexibility. I can adjust my schedule to provide care whenever needed, whether it’s for short drop-in visits or long stays. Every pet is unique, so I make sure to listen carefully to each client's needs. I want to fully understand your pet’s routine, preferences, and any quirks they might have. That way, I can make sure they’re fed, exercised, and loved in the way that feels most familiar and comfortable to them. I’m very adaptable—whether your pet is shy, energetic, elderly, or somewhere in between. If your pet stays in my home, they’ll need to be okay with two playful (and sometimes rowdy!) female doodles. My parrots, Ziggi (a blue quaker) and Dusty (an African grey), are kept in the basement, and depending on your dog’s preferences, they can be kept away from or near them. I have crates for both of my dogs, so I can create a calm, quiet environment if needed. If that sounds like too much stimulation, I totally get it—in that case, I’d recommend housesitting or drop-in visits so I can create the most peaceful setting for your pet.

“Kathleen was so sweet and took great care of Hazel. She also helped me out with a hose I left on and brought in my Amazon packages. I truly appreciated it and will use her again.”


About: I’ve had animals my whole life, both my grandma and my mother have worked in animal clinics. I love being around animals and taking care of them. Being in college can be lonely sometimes and taking care of animals brings me company. As a military college student in Dahlonega, I know how busy life can get, but pet care is always a priority for me. During the school year, I balance my studies with my passion for animals, offering pet sitting and dog walking whenever I can between classes and study sessions. Now that I'm back in Elbert County for the summer, I have more flexibility and can offer even more personalized care for your pets. My daily routine revolves around giving them the attention they deserve—whether it's morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles. My schedule may be a bit unconventional, but the love and care I provide are always consistent. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I make sure they feel comfortable and secure at all times. I keep a close eye on their needs, routines, and health, and I’m always prepared for any situation that may arise. In your home, I follow your instructions to maintain their familiar environment, while also providing them with the love and attention they need. In my home, I create a safe, pet-friendly space where they can relax and feel at ease. You can trust that I’ll treat your pets like family, with the same care and responsibility I would give my own.

About: Hello! My name is Gabby and I would love the opportunity to help care for your fur baby! With over 15 years of pet care experience I am equipped to care for dogs of varying breeds, ages, and training levels. I am comfortable working on basic training skills with young dogs, and providing specialized care to senior dogs. Having spent several years in animal healthcare I feel comfortable administering medications, and providing supportive care for chronic illnesses. That experience has also awarded me the insight be to able to monitor your pet’s behavior and activity in a way that will ensure their safety and overall health while in my care. My services are not limited to basic walks and drop-ins. We can go for a hike, swim in the lake, or go spend a day at the dog park! If there is a specific experience you wish for your pet to have on our day together let me know and I’m happy to try to accommodate! I do work a full time job as I am still trying to build my pet sitting and transport business but my hours are flexible and I can make all the time I need to help care for your pets. I ask a lot of questions and work with my client to follow the routines they already have set for their pets to make sure they always feel safe and comfortable. I like to do an introductory meeting at least a couple days before our scheduled time together to meet with your pet to determine if we will be a good fit for each other. If we venture out for a walk I have a crate secured in the car to safely transport pets from one location to another. I bring a portable water bowl and a bottle of fresh water on all walks so your pet will stay hydrated throughout our time together. If you choose to have me accompany your pet to the lake I ask that you please provide a life jacket for them so I can help provide the safest play space possible.
