“Taylor was just amazing! My husband and I go on a good amount of work trips and hate to leave our dogs at boarding. Taylor was wonderful house sitting and watching our two boys. She sent many updates throughout the day and we came home to 2 sweet doggie report cards that she made for their entire stay. Her background working in an animal hospital is also a huge plus. We came home to a clean house, and very happy boys. We hope to welcome her and her services again very soon!”
“Jesse was an incredible sitter for our 18 year old Chihuahua with daily Medication needs!! It was Rocco’s first Rover experience and when we came home from date night, Rocco was CALM, rested and HAPPY. :) He’s a VERY VERY PICKY CUSTOMER so JESSE made this worried Dog Mama Very RELIEVED and Thankful! We Will BOOK AGAIN!”

“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: 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!
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.
“Jeff was great! He housesat and took care of our cat for 5 days - he provided updates to us and always responded quickly to any messages. I would not hesitate to work with Jeff again and would highly recommend him to others.”
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.
“We are extremely happy & relieved to have found such a caring, knowledgeable, responsible person to take care of our dog & our home so we can travel and not worry about either! Susie took the time to learn of our routines with “Remington” and bonded easily with her. We did not have to worry about “ how it was going” while we were gone as Susie kept us informed with texts and photos. We came home to a happy dog & immaculate house! We will definitely use Susie again when we travel without our “Remy”!”
“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”
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!
“Alicia was wonderful. She kept me updated with my dogs with lots of pics! I came home to two happy yet content dogs, which made me super happy.”

About: There have been very few times in my life that I didn't have a pet! My husband and I currently have a small farm of 3 dogs, 1 turtle, 1 rabbit, chickens, pheasants, and pigeons! I have experience in hand feeding baby birds, cats, and dogs. I've also had or taken care of rodents and some reptiles. I love all ages of animals from puppies and kittens to senior pets. I know how difficult it can be to find someone responsible and trustworthy enough to take care of your animals, especially the more exotic type, and would love the opportunity to be included in your pets lives! I work from home and am able to set my own schedule. I have an SUV with plenty of room for larger animals, if transportation is needed. I have almost 2 acres of unfenced yard. My 3 dogs are on a wired pet containment system. I have a sunroom inside my home where I house inside pets, which can be a free roaming area for your pet or where we can place their kennel/crate. For client house visits, I will follow the instructions laid out by the client.
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 had pets as a child. As an adult we became a dog family 10 years ago. He’s stubborn and way smarter than I am. I’ve learned so much loving on our Smitty. I’m patient and love to see their personalities shine. I work from home so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I would be happy to discuss your personal needs and work that into my day. I walk my dogs on leash on our property. For you I’d do what your pet is accustomed to. I’m very flexible and able to work with what works for you best.
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.

She has the ability to make my dog feel excited and comfortable when I have to leave him for days at a time. She takes him on walks, follows my long schedule and follows up with pictures and even face time calls through out the day. She is incredibly trust worthy and by the book. I almost hesitated leaving this review because I don't want to share her 🙃 You will always be rest assured your pup is getting extra love, snuggles and taken care of past even your own personal standards.”
