About: I have been caring for animals for my entire life, from taking point with family pets during my childhood to now having pets of my own. I am comfortable with and have taken care of dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I am currently enrolled in college full time, but with primarily online courses which allows me considerable freedom in my schedule for pet sitting, house sitting, dog walking, etc. I know how important pets are - they are members of the family. As such, I pride myself on following owner instructions carefully, and treating the pets I watch and the homes I enter with the same love and respect I treat my own with.
About: I’ve constantly been around dogs since I was 6. I’ve dog sat in the past and I am accustomed to all sorts of dogs — big or small, playful or calm, young or old! I am a full time student at Mercer University. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my busiest, where I’ll be in classes from 8 AM-3:15 PM. Reach out to me to hear more about my school schedule! I currently have an American bully, a cockatiel, and a parakeet. In the past I’ve had other large dog breeds, a cat, fish, and turtles. I also have some familiarity with reptile care. I feed, walk, and play with my pets and always make an effort to keep them stimulated!

About: I’ve grown up with and taken care of many animals for as long as I can remember and consider myself an avid animal lover. I promise to accommodate any and all needs your animals may have as I know they’re a part of the family too! I am currently studying/working part-time and have flexible availability to spend time with & take care of many furry friends!! Just reach out and I will try my best to accommodate any scheduling needs. I have knowledge of many parks and grass areas to explore with your pets. As well as the ability to make use of whatever space available to have an engaging visit!
About: Dogs have been at the center of my world for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family fostered rescue dogs, which taught me how to connect with, comfort, and care for dogs of all temperaments and backgrounds. Today, I am the proud owner of two dogs that I have raised and trained since they were puppies. I know firsthand the dedication it takes to keep a dog healthy, well-behaved, and thriving. Your dog’s health and happiness are my absolute top priorities. I treat every dog in my care with the same love and attentiveness that I give my own. Because I believe a happy dog is an active dog, my visits focus on physical exercise and mental stimulation. I work a full-time, hybrid schedule in law enforcement with standard hours from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. I work from my home office almost the entire month, meaning I am present all day to provide companionship, frequent potty breaks, and a highly structured routine for your pet. I am only required to go into the physical office about 3 days per month. On those specific days, I am still fully available for early morning and evening care, though any pets boarding with me would need to be comfortable being left alone during my core office hours. My schedule is very flexible. Having pets and working with them my whole life I understand how important routines are. I respect the pet's normal feeding, medication, and exercise schedule precisely as requested. I keep client’s homes clean, tidy, and secure, just how I found it. I send regular photo and video messages so pet parents feel relaxed while they are away.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life, from tiny, energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler touch and extra patience.

I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs, so I always take the time to get to know them and adjust my care to make them feel safe and loved. Whether your dog needs high-energy playtime, a slow walk with extra breaks, or a little help with anxiety or medications, I’m happy to accommodate. I’m flexible with scheduling, available for last-minute bookings, and can handle special routines or requests without a problem. And don’t worry—while you’re away, I’ll send plenty of sweet and silly photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands and having fun I am a college athlete but I always love working with sweet cats and dogs!! If you would like my services please reach out and we can make a custom schedule for the both of us❤️ I love sticking to your pups routine! If that means going on walks, being crated, going on a drive, or just snuggling the couch. I would love to make your baby happy.

“Kayla was amazing with my Bella and very communicative. She sent lots of pictures and detailed postcards at each visit. She gave me no reason to worry while we were away. We will be booking again!”

“Paige was excellent! She cared for my senior dog and two cats while I was away. Paige took excellent care of them all in a manner not just as a professional, but sincerely cared for my pets. She went out of her way to comfort my dog when fireworks were launched nearby and was patient and proficient in getting my cat to take daily medication. Kind, courteous and professional, I highly recommend Paige!!!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets ever since my first dog at age 11. Since then I’ve been walking, feeding, bathing and caring for friends and neighbors pets often. I love animals and the outdoors so it’s become a dream job for me. I work on the weekends so throughout the week I can give your pets my full undivided attention. Monday through Thursdays I usually spend studying alone so it would be nice to have furry company! I have a fenced in backyard that’s perfect for any dog. Although I don’t have any pets myself all my neighbors have furry babies and I have the perfect neighborhood for walks. I spend most time outdoors so I don’t mind going out. I enjoy taking the dogs on walks or to the park. Pets who like the indoors will have their own bed at my house. I will rarely dog sit at another person’s house but there can be a few exceptions.
About: What sets us apart? It’s simple: love, attention, and a team that never misses a beat. We are a dedicated three person team who ensure your pet’s comfort, care, and happiness never stop, even when life gets busy. We have experience with pets of all sizes, personalities, and special needs, including dog reactive dogs and those who require medication. Every animal in our care receives one on one attention, plenty of playtime, and all the cuddles or adventures they need to feel safe, loved, and spoiled. Your pets also get the benefit of companionship. Our 4 story townhome has a built in Golden Retriever bestie for dogs who love to have fun and a floor plan that allows for a calm, spacious environment for the fur-iends who don’t! We go the extra mile so you can relax while away and provide consistent communication and photos so you can check in without worry! Whether it is boarding, walks, drop-ins, or playdates, our mission is the same: to provide a loving, safe, and happy experience for every pet, making sure they are cared for like family. Pet care is a natural part of our daily and weekly routine. I work from home full time, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention, cuddles, and supervision for every pet in our care. With a dedicated team of three, we ensure that coverage is always available for walks, playtime, meals, medication, and any special needs. We only board one pet family at a time, so your pet(s) receive consistent and undivided attention throughout their stay. Whether it’s a quick drop in, a long walk, or an extended stay, we integrate pet care seamlessly into our day so your furry friend always receives one on one attention, love, and consistency, even when our work or personal schedules are busy. Every day is built around the pets in our care, so they have companionship, enrichment, and comfort at all times. This routine allows us to provide a safe, happy, and stress free environment for your pet while giving you peace of mind! For drop-ins, we follow the schedule you provide, offering walks or playtime in the yard, companionship and belly rubs, and meal times to keep your pet happy and comfortable. In our home, we provide a dedicated space tailored to your pet’s needs. For pets who love to play, they will enjoy spending time with our Golden Retriever, Murphy, who loves to play both inside and out. With nearby walking trails and a pet park, your dog is ensured all the fun, exercise, and play they need. Boarding includes two half mile walks per day, a potty break, and indoor/outdoor playtime. Please note that dogs who require longer or additional walks may have a small extended exercise fee depending on the routine requested. For pets who need some space, we offer an entire level of our home pet-free, so they can feel comfortable and safe while still having access to cozy spots like a couch, belly rubs, and extended walks for extra stimulation. For cats, we provide a private floor where they can lounge, soak up the sun, play with toys, and enjoy a calm, comfortable environment without the stress of unknown pets around. We also provide a complimentary litter box, so you can board your cat without the worry of hauling their personal throne, just bring their preferred litter. For small animals, we offer a secluded and relaxing environment where they can enjoy their enclosure in a way that best suits their individual needs. Our approach is all about personalized care, comfort, and enrichment, ensuring every pet feels safe, loved, and stimulated while in our home or during visits.

“Naomi went above and beyond caring for my two disabled chihuahuas and my rascal cat. One of my dogs has mega-esophagus and requires a very specific feeding and Naomi followed the instructions and the chihuahu thrived under her care. The chihuahuas are very picky and absolutely loved her! I am already planning more trips because of how great Naomi is.”

About: I was raised with cats and dogs my whole life. We have had our fur baby since he was 6 weeks old and he is now 4 years old. His name is Chunk. He loves children, animals his best friend is Baxter he is 12 years old and he is a Schnauzer. I have had a cleaning business for a little over 10 years and even tho is was not apart of my job I started falling in love with my customers babies. I will love on them, take them out to potty, give them fresh water and treats and clean up any messes they have made and then I decided to start offering to take care of them for the customers if they needed a sitter. So I take care of both cats and dogs. I never knew that I could love these babies as much as I love my family, I consider all the fur babies my family. My Chunk Chunk is my very best friend. I am his person. I potty trained him, I taught him to sit, shake, lay, and when I use the word calm if he gets super excited then he will automatically sit and behave. He is very playful with other animals. He has never been aggressive or biten anyone bc all he has ever known is love. If you choose me to take care of your babies know that I will take care of them and love them as if they were my own children. We are animal lovers and would love to meet and have more fur babies in out lives. I clean houses part time. So I am very flexible when it comes to your babies routine. When I speak with the customer I always like for the customer to write a list of the babies daily routine and then I have a filing system set up with all your babies information so we make sure everything is done when it supposed to be and then I set a reminder and a timer for breakfast time, lunch time, dinner time, snack time, and if medication is needed as well. I am super ocd so I have a folder for every baby to keep records of everything. If your baby is at my home we live in a 3 bedroom apartment they are free to run around anywhere and they are allowed on the couch and the bed. Alot of times we sit on the couch or floor with them and watch TV and get the puppy toys out and let them play. We take the puppies out multiple times a day to go potty or to go walk and let them play outside. If I watch them at your home I do like a list of instructions and what they're normal routine is so I can keep them comfortable and happy and I want them to feel safe with me. I like to learn they're personalities so I can learn who they are, what they like and what they don't like. I am one who loves to hold them alot and pet them.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Macon choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
