About: Hi, I’m Emilee, a dedicated and reliable dog lover with 8 years of experience in caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I understand that every dog has unique needs, so I offer personalized care to ensure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or special care, I’m here to make sure your dog enjoys their stay. I have a safe, pet-friendly environment/large backyard and provide constant supervision, ensuring your dog is happy and comfortable. I’m also available for last-minute bookings and can provide daily updates, photos, and videos to keep you informed. Rest assured, your furry friend will be in great hands! House sitting :: I'm able to spend many hours at your home with your fur babies and get back in the morning to let them out early. I will not stay the night but can ensure excellent care and safety of your pets. Morning, evening or any time of day I'm available! Look forward to meeting your fur family and caring for them like my own🫶🏻 I currently work on Mondays but normally home by 11am. At home the rest of the week with much time for my fur baby and yours. In my home boarding, We have a 1 year old beagle rescue who loves new friends to play with. I normally take him on long walks and have a fenced in area for them as well. My pup is also crate trained if play time gets to be a handful. We have a separate room for boarding dogs in our home to make sure we can give them one on one attention as well. I also can stay in your home. Giving baths, nail trims, and other services that may be needed. I can also stay with a recovering animal if needed I am very familiar with the medical care side as well.

About: Growing up, I always had 4 pets at any time, and was in charge of all care for them! 2 dogs and 2 cats, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, litter, and lovings. I currently have 2 cats and 1 pup of my own. My most frequent client has 4 large dogs and 1 bunny, all of which get spoiled under my care. I have experience with the most common pet breeds: dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, and hamsters, Guinea pigs. I am entirely caring, responsible, assertive when needed, and prompt. I work full time Monday-Friday in downtown Augusta 8:30am-5:30pm. I’m currently not able to leave during the day for lunch time potty breaks unless it is very close to there. For home boarding and doggie day care, my boyfriend mainly works from home and loves sharing the love ! The app also doesn’t always quote the correct prices for me, so please message me if you have any questions :) For house sitting, I fully stay at your home and take care of your pet, as if I am at my own home. I always take care pets and the home itself. I will always leave a place cleaner than when I arrived! For boarding, we have baby gates to separate animals for their own time, etc, when necessary. Our enclosed bricked in yard is perfect for any dog that wants to fun around and play fetch with our girl Ivey. My boyfriend mainly works from home and loves when our own pup has a play mate! He loves fur babies just as much as I do.

About: I love love love canines. I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own 🥰 ! I’m very active and love to entertain dogs I have experience with both small & large breeds. I've been a dog/animal lover since childhood. My childhood dream was to become a veterinarian but I decided on taking a different path and became a Soldier for 20 years. I’ve had the unique experience of breeding Boxers for a few years. As a breeder I have cared for newborn puppies, deworming, administering shots, and potty training them until eventually finding them forever homes. I will walk, feed, and play with your fur baby and set their minds at ease until you return. I am retired and I’m ready to start a hobby that I will love. Please let me know any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration and I can't wait to meet your furry family member. I am currently unemployed and lots of free time to spend with your fur baby. I like to take walks and would love the extra company. I have a huge fenced in yard. I can crate your fur baby only if it is necessary. There is a separate space fenced in in my backyard if needed.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and many other animals for many years since I was a kid. I grew up always outside and around animals so it feels very natural for me to be around them and in my home. I currently have a small farm with two dogs that guard the sheep, one cat, two sheep and chickens. I’m currently a stay at home mom. My days are spent mostly at home and working on our little farm with a flexible schedule to do a drop in visit, day care, or to have a boarder. My children love animals and are used to being around various breeds and types. We have large fenced in back yard, in addition 5 acres to take the dogs on leashed walks. We never leave the dogs outside alone and the cats we watch remain inside unless they are leash trained. I’m very happy to learn what works best for your pet. I would not leave them outside unattended, if I have to leave the house for some reason they would go in their crate or be in the house depending on your needs. I’m happy to do crates or whatever would make your pet feel most comfortable, but it is not a requirement that they have a crate. We usually find the dogs feel safer when they can sleep with us in our room if that is okay with you. We want all the animals happy and most importantly safe!


“Laura is great! Our boy Kimo had knee surgery last month and is 1/2 way through his critical recovery period. Laura's personalized service was exactly what the doctor ordered, allowing us to get a bit of break for an afternoon! Wonderful woman and she and Kimo hit it off right away - highly recommended! Bart”


About: Family has relied on me for all pet needs. I’ve helped with sitting, potty breaks, feeding and walking. Or even just to keep their fur babies company. I work remotely with the ability to adapt my schedule as needed for pet care. I would love to take care of your sweet baby! We have a huge front and back yard for exercise and play. We have 1 dog who would be a great playmate for your baby! We also have 3 children that love animals and would provide great companionship.

About: Our 2-acre property has a fenced yard for constantly-available playtime and direct access to Hitchcock Woods for the dogs who love to hike! We have a high energy dog, two cats, and a toddler who looooves to pet and play with animals, so party pets only! We work from home with Fridays off every week. Our dog takes at least one long walk a day with plenty of play time outside if weather allows. In order to keep your pet exercised and happy, we expect good leash behavior and the ability to respond to basic commands- or at least be able to listen to "no" to make all of our lives less stressful! We lavish all our boarders with the same attention, snuggles, and exercise-balanced treats that our pets love. Since our cats have been part of the family the longest, your dog will need to be able to refrain from chasing them, so they can enjoy all their usual nap spots. While we love a guest, the safety and happiness of our full time residents is non-negotiable. We crate for sleeping so your pet can have a "home base" and not get up to trouble in an unfamiliar environment. We are happy to share Rascal's food, but if your dog has a sensitive stomach or a special diet, then they will need to bring their own food. We also expect them to arrive with their own leash, collar (with ID tag), crate or carrier for sleeping, and any toys, blankets, or other comfort items that smell like home to relax them and set them up for success during their stay with us. We can't wait to love on your pet!


About: I have 25 years of experience in caring for all breeds of dogs! From tiny pugs to large protective shepherds. And I have 15 years of experience in breeding and training imported German Shepherds. My family absolutely loves animals and will treat your fur baby as our own! We believe dogs are special gifts and deserve to be spoiled rotten. Your pet will be treated with the utmost care and respect. I live on a 20 acre fenced farm that your pet will have to burn off all its energy and tons of toys to play with. We are a very active family and enjoy being outside and going for walks. So, your pet won't be cooped up in the house all day. Of course, the amount of exercise and time spent outside/activities depends completely on your pets needs and limitations. If you have a pet that needs to be inside most of the day due to certain limitations, then that's exactly what we will do. I try to keep your pet in a normal routine such as what they would be used to at home. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special needs. I can administer oral medication and shots. I believe communication is key. Therefore, you will receive daily updates and pictures of your pet. I work from home which gives me plenty of time and freedom to love up on fur babies all day! They will have regular potty breaks and playtime. I have a large fenced farm with plenty of acreage for your fur babies to run out their energy. I have a child who is very respectful and gentle with all pets. She will also provide lots of love and scratches. I have experience with all breeds and ages.

About: I have 25 years of experience as a pet sitter being self-dubbed the "overnight queen" as I specialize in overnight stays of any length. The dogs and I have FUN slumber parties during which I fully engage with and interact with them, playing with their toys and giving the most excellent tummy rubs imaginable! Owners are happy too as they return to a happy pet - dogs "tell" by their behavior and in over 500 pet sits, every dog has been safe, sound ... and happy! In fact, many owners say I did a great job because "my dog acted like it didn't even know I was away!" All dogs love me ... and I love them. Dogs are people, too - only better ! I am self-employed so can set my schedule, especially with as much advance notice as possible. I often bring my little 9 pound, Shih Tzu, which I keep and a carry crate and kennel that has worked out fine with both dogs and cats. We can arrange a meet and greet ahead of time to make sure everyone is comfortable. I have separate bedrooms if dogs need their own privacy, but I do try to have dogs interact and be friends. I have a long hallway to play fun games and go get it!

I also have experience with cats, farm animals, small animals and birds! I’m currently a stay at home mom, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups!

We offer a free roam house and fenced back yard. If your pet prefers to be alone or needs alone time we are happy to make accommodations to make your pet feel comfortable and stress-free.

Melanie W.
“Melanie watched my two dogs many times for me when I had to leave on work trips. My dogs know her house and are always excited to go inside. They love sleepovers at her house. Prior to her watching them I used other boarding services and my dogs always were so depressed at pick up. I would never go back to those. I would recommend Melanie 100%.”
