“Amazing! That's one word to sum up Kristi's visits with my sweet beagle/ lab mix. She was on time, followed through with my instructions, and very attentive to my fur baby. He liked her immediately upon arrival and trusted her. Kristi is very good at what she does and I'm definitely using her again and again! ❤️ 🐕 🦴”

About: I grew up in agriculture caring for all sorts of animals. From raising my own show hogs to rasing 20+ rabbits, to my own dogs, and working in commercial swine and poultry industries, I have seen it all! I have a two German Shorthaired Pointers, one that is 2 years old and another that is 10 months old. My husband and I upland hunt with them all over the state of Georgia and beyond. I also have a 15 year old Beagle/Min Pin mix who is my heart and soul and is a couch potato. We recently had our other dog who was a Red Heeler/Australian Shepherd who sadly passed away from cancer. I am capable of caring for pets of all ages and energy levels!! I do have a full time job in the Poultry Industry in Gainesville so I will be gone during 6am-2:30pm. Most families I pet sit for have no issues with that, but others require someone to be there all day. If you have any scheduling questions, please feel free to reach out to me. From my experience from working at a local animal hospital in Gainesville, GA along with working in the Poultry and Swine industries, I have ample amounts of training in animal welfare. Whether you have a household pet or farm animals, I am confident that I am capable for caring for any kind of pet! With my 3 dogs that very from young to old, lazy to high drive and energetic, I create a safe environment in my home so my dogs are safe and free of unnecessary harm. With our hunting dogs, my husband and I train them year round and exercise them at our family farm to give them the mental stimulation they need so they don't ruin our house! During bad weather, I usually prepare lick mats, raw-hide free bones, or some kind of enrichment treat.

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: Hiya!! So my experience with dog sitting probably started ever since I could drive to other people’s houses back in high school. I’ve had experience with tons of breeds, from small to large, and I don’t have any allergies to any animals. I’ve had more than one dog of my own who have lived long fun-filled fur lives and currently have two pups and two cats who are living their best lives. I truly just really love animals and I just want to be able to let them have fun and are safe while you’re gone on a trip or at work! I’ve recently been dog sitting, boarding, doing drop ins, etc more since I’ve been laid off from my job (thanks economy) so my schedule is very flexible! I know exactly what it’s like to be somewhere but thinking of your own fur baby back home and want updates, so I’ll update you with plenty of pictures and texts if that’s what you’re wanting! My availability is wide open so whenever you would like or as many times a day, you name it! I always leave a house cleaner than when I arrived, but would you like to come home to a super deep cleaned house?! Nothing better than coming home from a trip where your animals were loved and taken care of plus your house is spotless and spelling fresh. If that interests you, I also offer a deep clean of your home for an additional $150, or $100 per floor (service separate from Rover). Reach out to me for details! I am currently unemployed so that helps me with being very flexible! Our two dogs live in a dog paradise out here on our 33 acres. It’s completely fenced in and they stay close and play all day long. Since my schedule is wide open, I have the availability of driving to go check in on and let out any animals when needed or just be home to watch and keep an eye on your your fur baby if you’re boarding. I care for your pets like I would want someone to care for my own. Nothing but love and attentiveness. I would make sure to follow and diet or routine requested and make sure they don’t stay inside for too long because no one likes holding it in when they have to go to the potty! Your pet, is my pet and I treat them no different. My two dogs and two cats are spoiled and live their best life. Depending on the service you’re wanting, I will make sure that the animal is save, loved, and well taken care of while you’re apart!

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.

Check us out and let me know if you’re interested in fostering or adopting!) Anywho, I came to love pet sitting/dog walking over the past couple of years- who wouldn’t??- as I started as a way to get my daily steps in while helping a family friend! I would love to do the same for your special fur baby! Win win all the way around 🥰 I can coordinate my schedule to fit your needs, let me know your needs and I will see what we can work out to suit them!

About: I’ve taken care of pets from weeks in age to 10+ years! I love your fur babies as if they are my own. I’m honest, reliable, and try to make pets as comfortable as possible when their owners are away! I also water gardens/plants and do other chores like getting mail. I work full time during the week, normally 8am-4pm. If it is close to my place of work I can come on my lunch break. I have two small dogs of my own and I so hate to leave them if I go out of town! I understand what it’s like to wonder if they are lonely, so I try to spend as much time with the pets as I can. Any pet that I take care of is well cuddled, well fed, and played out!

About: I have experience taking care of all kinds of animals from standard dogs and cats to hedgehogs, possums, and parrots. Both puppies and senior dogs are welcome. Since I only work during the week, I am able to dedicate all of my time and love to your fur babies on the weekends. I have an unfenced yard but can provide plenty of walks and exercise for your pups. I have two friendly dogs to keep your furkids entertained but never unsupervised.

About: My friends and family have always trusted me to care for their pets. This includes walking, playing, bathing, and just overall spending time with them. I just moved to this area, so pet care would be my full time at the moment until I complete my Dental Assistant course. I could do pet care daily. I would love to take your pups for a walk, or do drop-in visits for any type of animal. I have experience with many different types of animals.

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. I have 2 fur babies of my own and have experience from an animal hospital that I’ll be able to take to in case of an emergency.

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 got my dog when I was 13 and she was the best thing that happened to me. She was the most loving and caring dog I ever met but lost her to a serious illness and I just love to give out my heart to animals and would love to spend some time with your animals. I am a stay at home mom and the moment. Son is five and in kindergarten and he loves animals just as much as I do but because I’m not completely over losing my dog I haven’t been able to get him a dog for himself. I’m home and have a dog park right now the road from me so keeping dogs a breeze. I always have an eye on the animals. Never feed food other then the kind given. Nothing in the rooms that they would stay in that could hurt them.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for 5 years. Family and friends have trusted me with their precious animals for many years. Feed, walk, play, and bath. I love to watch and play with dogs, cats, even pigs! I am part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your animals! I am available every day other than Tuesday or Wednesday, I can pretty much be there any time. I usually can go between 4-5 times a day.

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.

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'm Georgia born. I had a dog since I was 4 yrs. old until I moved out on my own. I was raised in the suburbs of Atlanta, so I know about road safety! I worked for apartments for 32 yrs. Every dog I met became my friend instantly. Many owners would laugh and say "why don't you take him/her. They love you so much!" Now I have the time to spend with them, since I retired. And nothing pleases me more than playing with, and walking a dog. It's good for your heart, physically, as well as emotionally. And that's Major! I'm very good with keeping things under control, always with a loving tone! They know they are in good hands. Always good time spent with a dog!

“Jeff was great with the dogs.”
