“She is helpful and prompt. Our dog is happy with her care.”
“Jessica was nothing short of amazing! We had never used the app, new to the area and nervous about leaving our dog for a long time. Jessica was a Godsend. She was so thorough, sweet, and funny. She made sure our old, anxious dog was so well taken care of, went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable, and was always so on top of things and responsive. We feel so lucky we got her and could not recommend her enough!”
“Tricie provided wonderful care for Cooper and Archie! She was very professional, communicative and detailed. Tricie provided daily photos of both Cooper and Archie. Based on those photos there is no doubt A & C enjoyed their playtime with Tricie too! Tricie brought in the took out the trash and brought in the mail, pkgs., etc. She kept the litter box cleaned daily and refreshed it on her last day of care. Tricie was an excellent communicator regarding the status of A & C! She gave us peace of mind that our fur babies were in good hands. We will definitely call upon Tricie again!”
“Ella treated my dog really well. She showed up on time and sat with her while she enjoyed the back yard. We will be calling on her again.”
“Mackenzie does such a great job. Very punctual and clearly my boys love her.”
About: I've been pet-sitting for friends and family since my teen years and have been lucky enough to experience life with so many different wonderful pets of all different kinds and with all different needs. I currently work remotely with a flexible schedule and am able to put the needs of the pets I care for first throughout our time together! My number one priority with pet-sitting is to honor the needs and preferences of the pet(s) and their owners. Examples: Does your pet like long walks daily? I can do that! Do they prefer to get their wiggles out during play time instead or are they elderly and just want to rest? That's can be done too! Need daily updates on your pet? You got it! Prefer to be unplugged while you're gone? Totally understand!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid. I can train puppies. I can take the dogs out for a walk and playtime. I am happy to keep you informed at all times about how your pet is doing. I am part time at home and other jobs. I am available all week for boarding and other services but I am not available on Sunday because of Church. I have one cat in our house and she is very sweet and gets along with dogs and cats. My next door neighbor has 3 dogs and it’s already fence up. We do have backyard but it is not currently fenced. We do have a park in downtown Monroe. From our house, it’s takes one mile to walk.
“Great experience! Ciara was kind and loving to our fur babies and kept us up to date. Highly recommend!”
“She’s great but only did she take care of my pups, she put extra eyes on my little escape artists and even helped Mend my fence temporarily until I could return home!”
“Ally took fantastic care of our puppies! Thank you so much!”
About: I am an experienced dog owner and sitter. I grew up in a family that always had pets, including cats and dogs, and have owned multiple dogs since living on my own. Currently, I have one small chiweenie and regular dogsit dogs including Cocker Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, and Great Pyrenees. Shy or nervous rescue pets are no problem! I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, counter surfers, etc. Pets with medical issues are welcome as I have experience taking care of dogs and cats with a variety of issues who’ve needed everything from shots throughout the day or diaper changes or to receive mobility assistance. I also have experience caring for chickens if you need someone to care for your chicks. I work full-time, but I am done at 4:30PM every weekday except for Friday - on Fridays, I am done at 1 PM. I also have flexibility in my schedule, so I can stop by to take care of any needs during the day or work from home if a pet needs additional care. I am up early every morning to give pets plenty of time to eat and play before leaving. When I get home, the first thing I do is let pets out to potty and to play. Throughout the evening, there is plenty of time for walks and playtime before bed. . First and foremost, I will strive to match or mimic the care and routine you give your pets at home. With a fenced in yard, your pet will have a safe place to potty and play. There are also many parks nearby to take your pet on walks or provide them with socialization. Pets are able to climb on furniture, sleep on my bed, and have mostly free rein of the house — my home is their home while we’re here. However, I have a pet gate I can put up and experience crating pets (as well as crate training dogs) for any pet who can’t be left free to roam.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life—ever since I was little, my family has always had a pup in the house! I know what it takes to keep our furry family members happy, healthy, and well cared for. From tiny Chihuahuas to giant Great Danes, I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I understand that every dog is unique, with different needs for exercise, attention, and care. Growing up with dogs, I’ve attended plenty of vet visits and know that our four-legged friends can sometimes get into mischief. I’m fully comfortable and confident in administering medications if needed. My family’s miniature schnauzer, Tucker, is a prime example—he’s always up to something, so I understand the importance of keeping a close eye on our pets. He’s also full of energy, and I love every minute of playing and engaging with him! With extensive pet-sitting experience, I know exactly what’s expected of me when entrusted with someone’s beloved pup. I treat every dog as if they were my own and would love the opportunity to meet and care for yours! I’m a senior in high school and a spring athlete, so this time of year can get a little busy for me. However, I’m also dual-enrolled at UNG, which gives me a more flexible schedule with plenty of time to care for your pets! While weekdays can be my busiest due to school, sports, and my part-time job (which I work three days a week), my availability varies, and I always do my best to make time for pet-sitting. That being said, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your furry friends—especially on weekends, when my schedule is much more open! I’m super flexible and always happy to work around scheduling conflicts to ensure your pets get the best care possible. Please don’t hesitate to reach out! I’d love the opportunity to meet and care for your pets, and I’m more than willing to work out any scheduling, timing, or pricing concerns to make it work! As I’ve mentioned before, I will treat your pets as if they were my own! Their safety, well-being, and happiness are my top priorities. I take great care to follow your instructions with respect and attention to detail, ensuring your pets are in the best hands while you’re away. With extensive pet-sitting experience for a variety of animals, I understand that every pet has its own unique routine and specific needs. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, exercise, or special care instructions, I am fully prepared to follow your pet’s routine to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable. From simple walks to multi-day check-ins, my approach remains the same—ensuring that your animals feel secure, cared for, and at ease in my presence. No matter the size or species, I have hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, from tiny chickens to towering horses. Whatever pet you entrust to me, you can rest assured that they will receive the highest level of care and attention! I will always keep you informed if any issues arise. I understand how much we love our pets, and if an emergency were to occur, I’d want to make sure you’re in the loop every step of the way. I’ll also send you regular updates and pictures of your pets, so you can see firsthand how well they’re being cared for! Plus, I have a knack for capturing the silliest, most adorable moments—they’re bound to bring a smile to your face!
“Meredith was great! I have a crazy 2 year old dog and an old lady 16 year old dog, and she handled them like a champ!! Definitely will book with her again”
About: I have always loved with animals all of my life. I have had dogs and cats, to chickens and horses as well as a duck and a few birds. When a family member would go on vacation, I would be responsible to take care of the animals to make sure they are fed, groomed and taken outside as well as playing with them. I have also taken care of my neighbors animals a handful of times when they would have to leave. I am currently with no job as I am working on starting my own businesses. So I can work around any time needed to help those who need it I have a fenced in yard to let my dogs run around to play and use the bathroom. As for my cats, they roam around the house and have multiple cat towers to play and scratch on. When taking care of other peoples animals, some have fenced in yards to let them run in as others I have to hand walk their dog. I am fine with whatever the client prefers when it comes to caring for their pets.
“Taylor was available last minute for a couple drop ins and took perfect care of Oatmeal. She followed instructions and made sure she asked what kind of activities Oat would like. 10/10 recommend booking Taylor for your pup.”
About: I've taken care of and owned both cats and dogs for the last 5 years. I am also a new owner of a bearded dragon and take care of my mom’s horses from time to time. I'm a USC graduate and a rising second year vet student at UGA. I'm passionate about animal care and providing peace of mind to pet parents. I’m comfortable medicating and handling pets of all sizes and temperaments. I work part time as a veterinary technician during the summer. I'm available to pet sit any time that I’m not scheduled and most weekends. While I can't offer to keep other pets in my apartment, I am eager to keep pets comfortable in their own home while their parents are away. I will treat your pets as if they were my own and offer multiple updates while you're away.
“Katelyn was great! Our animals were happy and healthy when we got back. She seemed to take great care of them, and we loved the photos. She went the extra mile by filling our bird feeders and waterers. We'll definitely use her services again.”
About: I have cared for dogs and cats my whole life (walking, giving water, food, and medicine, picking up waste) and have 10+ years of experience with large animals. I am almost always free, which gives me lots of time to spend with your pets! Im heading into my freshman year of college, and don’t have a formal job which leaves my schedule pretty flexible! I try to go over to clients' homes every 2-4 hours for bathroom breaks and walks when every you need. I also feed at which every time you choose. I am able to walk any amount of time or distance you need!
About: I have had pets all my life. I could never see myself without one. I have helped friends and family feed, walk or care for their pets. I am available to help you when you need it. I work from home with a very flexible schedule allowing me to help day or night. I do not keep pets at my home due to me having 4 other dogs. I feel your pet will be more comfortable and relaxed in their own home.
About: I've had dogs and cats in my life as long as I can remember and I'd love to add some more friends to my list. I've helped my family and neighbors with their pets pretty much anytime they needed it and I'd be honored to help you too. I have a part time job at the moment so I have a number of hours throughout each day that I can take to take care of your pets. Besides your pets bathroom needs, I would have no issue making sure your pet has the food and water they need if you would wish. I can also definitely satisfy their need for some playtime or scratches, it really depends on what your pet likes the most and what they are comfortable with
