“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.”


“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.

About: I’ve had my own pets since I was 6. I’ve had cats, dogs, hamsters , and currently have chickens, ducks, and 3 cats. I have cared for pets off and on over the years for friends and family and have about 20+ years experience! I am a stay at home mom to my 3 kids. My kids love pets and would enjoy playing/helping as long as you are comfortable with this, but also I completely understand if someone is not comfortable with this. I have some flexibility throughout my days that I can care for your pet(s). Aside from caring for my kids and our own pets, I would love to help take care of your fur-baby! I do not have a fenced in yard, but we do have a large yard and are very far away from the road and on our road is not very busy, we do have neighbors with lots of pets and they have handled this area/property well - hopefully that helps. I would prefer to visit your home to care for your pets, but my home is also an option.

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.

“Claire was awesome. Very responsive and flexible with our plans this week while on vacation. Was very gracious and accommodating with last minute requests for adjustments in the schedule. This was our first time booking Claire and we will definitely seek her out again.”


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: 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!

“Jesse does a great job of keeping the animals on schedule and I was so relaxed all day knowing he was coming by to check on them twice while we were at a ball game in Athens.”


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.

“This was a meet and greet visit in preparation for an upcoming drop-in. Susie arrived on time, both dogs took right to her, and we discussed their personalities, routines and needs. I feel very confident that her upcoming visit will go very well.”

“Kayla was fantastic. She watched our three dogs and was timely, polite and communicated very effectively. She provided great updates and pics of our dogs. She overcame an obstacle I accidentally created by giving her the wrong street address of the Airbnb and was very pleasant in doing so. The dogs were very well taken care of when we returned. We will definitely try and book Kayla on our next visit.”


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: 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!

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.

He kept us updated with photos and messages, which really put our minds at ease.

Tony G.
“In the time that I've known Tony I've been impressed with his values and the fact that he always strives to put those values to work in his life. We don't always agree on everything but this is a man who I can respect because he lives the life he espouses. Before his retirement Tony was dedicated to his employer of over 30 years. He didn't just see the company as a company that paid him for work. He felt a genuine dedication to the company and to all of it's customers. I know for a fact that many of those customers have asked about Tony since he has left. Tony is also a BIG dog lover. He never meets a strange dog and I've seen him make frieds with dogs that I wouldn't approach. He has the patience of Job when it comes to animals and is never happier than when he is with a dog. If Tony goes to work for Rover it will be a good day for Rover.”


Gabriella G.
“We love Gabby! She goes above and beyond in taking care of our dog. She’s great at following instructions and has given Griffen his medication and extra care when needed. She pays attention to detail and we highly recommend her. Griffen has really taken to her, and when we first met Gabby we knew she would be a great fit our family. Her experience with animal care really shows and her background as a Vet tech gives us extra assurance that our Griff is in good hands.”


Meghan B.
“We were so fortunate to have Meghan Burton house sit for us this fall! It worked out perfectly! She is a fantastic caretaker - we have a large home with acreage + 14 chickens, small irrigated pecan grove, etc. and she had it covered! Chickens were healthy and happy. Had a freak freeze so Meghan shut off our irrigation saving us potentially thousands in frozen pipe repairs. Meghan took excellent care of our home. Everything was clean, organized, and ready for our return. We would not hesitate to have her house sit for us again, nor would we hesitate to heartily recommend her to anyone with or without livestock to look after. V/R - Dan & Denice Hatch”
