“Donna (and her sweet husband John) iss everything the reviews said! They took care of our 5 dogs like their own babies and were amazing house sitters too! They will definitely be our go-to sitters from now on!”
About: I am a private tutor, which means I have plenty of time during the day to walk your pup while you are away. I have one dog myself, my sweet Addi, and one other fur baby. I have been an animal lover my whole life, and am happy to take care of your animal friends, whatever size or shape they may be. Your pets will be in good hands with me, and I guarantee that we will all have a blast when I come to play! In addition to dog walking and drop-in visits, I can look after cats, pocket pets, fish, reptiles, and basically any type of animal you love. I look forward to working with you and your pets, and getting to know you all!
“Julie took excellent care of our pets while we were on vacation! She communicated well before and during the time she cared for our pets. It was such a reassurance knowing they were in their usual environment while we were gone. I would recommend Julie to anyone looking for a kind and reliable house and pet sitter.”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for animals. I specialize in overnight care, ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I'm experienced with senior pets who need extra attention and gentle care, as well as energetic puppies that require structured routines and basic training reinforcement. Whether it’s administering medication, sticking to special diets, or just offering extra cuddles, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine, and I make it a priority in my schedule. I’m available for overnight stays during the week and weekends, and I plan my days around the pets I care for—whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medication. I maintain a calm, consistent environment to help pets feel secure, and I give updates regularly so you know how your pet is doing. I’m flexible and can adjust to meet your pet’s usual routine to keep them happy and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I create a calm, secure, and familiar environment by following your routines closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I’m always mindful of safety, keeping doors, gates, and potential hazards in check, and I never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I provide regular updates with photos and messages, so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. Building trust—with both you and your pet—is at the heart of how I care.
“Great communication and care for our fur baby. We appreciated his well he was cared for. Would definitely use her again.”
“Kathleen was awesome. She came at the time requested. She showed great interest in our dog from the moment she walked in the door. During her stay she stayed in touch with us and provided pictures. We will definitely book again”
“Keri is the perfect dog sitter. She stayed at my house with my two dogs. I returned home to happy dogs and a house in better condition than I left it! I highly recommend her.”
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.
About: I absolutely adore every animal, from the furry, to the scaly and slithery. I am well acquainted with dog and cats of all sizes and do not discriminate against breed or size. The majority of my life I've been surrounded by animals, and all of them have helped me grow to be the person I am today. I understand how important it is to pay attention to every twitch, head tilt, and noise a companion gives. Every fur-friend is so special and deserves to be treated and loved like a family member. I currently work at home as a digital artist, so my hours are flexible to meet what you and your companion need! Willing to walk or just sit and talk, I'm looking forward to befriending your fuzzbaby. I'm so excited to shake new paws and meet new furr-friends! I currently work at home, so my schedule is very flexible for any client! I will be updating my schedule if I need to for any reason. My front and back yard are very large, and the backyard has a fenced in area. There's plenty of room for running, walking, and playing around in the grass. Good shaded areas and sunny spots for days with good weather. I stay outdoors with my dogs and others when they're out, and will not leave them unattended. We have plenty of toys and activities to do!
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, but what really sets me apart is my experience in service dog training for over a year. That means I’m not just comfortable with dogs — I understand how to read their body language, reinforce positive behavior, and create a calm and structured environment. Whether it’s training a playful puppy or providing gentle care to a senior dog, I know how to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m also well-versed in maintaining a consistent routine, handling dietary needs, and supporting dogs emotionally and physically. Your furry friend will get more than just care — they’ll get attention, love, and someone who genuinely understands their needs. Plus, with my background in handling high-energy situations and my natural love for animals, you can trust that your pet is in experienced and loving hands! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I’ve always had animals in my life — I’m a proud pet parent to Sven, my Bernedoodle, and Marley, my sassy cat! Before them I had Kilo who has now passed. Caring for them has taught me the importance of structure and flexibility. I make time each day for walks, playtime, and training sessions, and I’m used to adjusting my schedule to meet their needs. Since I work in creative and flexible roles, I can easily adapt my routine to care for clients’ pets, whether that’s a midday walk, evening feeding, or some extra snuggles before bed. In my home, I create a comfortable and structured environment for pets with plenty of play, rest, and training. I’m mindful of each pet’s personality and needs, whether it’s a young puppy learning the ropes or a senior dog needing extra comfort. In a client’s home, I aim to mirror their existing routine to keep their pet comfortable and secure. This includes feeding on schedule, daily walks, medication (if needed), and lots of attention. My service dog training experience helps me provide consistent, positive reinforcement and calm leadership, ensuring pets feel safe and well-cared for in any environment.
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She took very good care of my pup and was stupendous with communication throughout the sitting. Will definitely be using her again! Thank you!!!”
“Amber did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of our fur baby. She went above and beyond!”
About: Our house was like a zoo growing up, so I've always been around a wide range of animals, from dogs, cats, horses, cows, you name it! For that reason, I have loads of experience with animals. Yet, other than my own animals I have only been sitting as needed for family or neighbors. I’m currently working a part time job while going to school. I do have breaks in between that should give me time to work around schedules! I am willing to do whatever is needed for your pets. I can walk, feed, water, clean, stay over and have as many play dates as you ask.
“Haleigh is wonderful! Very responsive, communicative, friendly, and great with our dogs! We really appreciate her!”
“Seriously cannot thank Susie enough for the care she provided to our pups while we were out of town! She was perfect! I know they were loved because Susie shared pictures often. Highly recommended!! We will use her for care again!”
About: I have over 5 years of professional experience working and taking care of large and small animals from being a volunteer at the age of 14 to transitioning to a part-time employee at the age of 16 at Royston Animal Hospital from 2016-2022. Hi! I'm Hailey! I'm a Franklin County native, but I currently reside in Elberton, Ga. I graduated highschool back in 2022, and have always had a driven passion for animals and taking care of them. I have two fur babies myself, Luna, my special needs baby that I adopted back in 2021, and Zeus, who is my high strung, attention hogging, doodle who I became the mommy to back last summer. I've always had a passion for animals large and small ever since I was a little girl. From helping turtles out of the road, to rescuing baby squirrels and opossums, to spending my free time riding around in the pasture loving on cows and horses on the farm. Everywhere I go I meet a furry friend or two! I love each and every animal or pet as if it were my own, and respect them with the gentleness and kindness they deserve. I am dedicated to giving them the best care possible, building a relationship with them, bonding with them, and helping each and every one of them feel comfortable and loved. I look forward to getting to know your fur babies and loving on them too! I have over 5 years of professional experience working and taking care of large and small animals from being a volunteer at the age of 14 to transitioning to a part-time employee at the age of 16 at Royston Animal Hospital from 2016-2022.

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.
About: I know how important it is to feel like your pet is well taken care of on a consistent basis while you’re away. With years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes, I provide personalized, attentive, and loving care.
