“Katy was such a cat whisperer with our super shy rescue cat! Spent time bringing her out of her shell and giving her a balance of space and attention when she needed it. We could tell by all the photo and video and verbal updates that our girl was well taken care of. It eased our own anxiety’s as well. Will be calling Katy back everytime!”

“Rachel did a great job sitting our 3 dogs and cat (and taking care of our home). When we returned, the house was sparkling clean and all pets were in great spirits — healthy and happy. She was communicative during the 5 day stay and sent pictures, which built co finance that the job was goi g well since this is the first time we’ve worked with Rachel. We already have her booked at Christmas!! Thank you Rachel!”

“Sarah is such an amazing person! We had her stay the night a few nights with our dog and she was such a wonderful caregiver to her. Our dog is very shy and timid and by day two she was sending us videos of her being playful and zooming around with her. Sarah has an amazing way with dogs and she also saved our apartment from burning down by smelling something burning and it was one of our air wick wall plug ins! She is amazing, attentive and has great communication. My husband and I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Reba used so much consideration and care when looking after my elderly cat. She was kind, gentle, and understanding of his temperament and needs and it made me feel so much better about leaving him for a week.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was little. I've had up to 5 furry tails at a time (3 dogs and 2 cats.) I have my own cat myself which I have taken care of since she was about 10 weeks old. I have previous pet sitting/walking/bathing experience from working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility where we also took care of cats. Experienced in house sitting for extended periods of time to just needing a check-in whichever is needed. I'm currently working part time as I am a full time student athlete in college right now. However, I have privilege of a flexible schedule in case of last minute booking needs. I am comfortable with any dogs of any breed or size. I am willing to keep you as informed as you would like to ensure a sound mind for the owner.

About: I’ve worked with dogs through house sitting and volunteering at a humane society, so I’m used to all kinds of personalities. I keep things relaxed, follow their routine, and make sure they get lots of love, playtime, and attention! Plus updates so you don’t miss them too much :) I’m currently working part time and a college student! My schedule fluctuates week by week! I have a lot of weekend availability and some week availability for in house staying! For walking your pet I can pretty much work around whatever! With summer coming up my schedule will be changing and I should have lots of extra time! I care for pets by following their normal routine closely in their home like feeding, fresh water, playtime, and comfort so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. For walks, I focus on safe, structured exercise that matches their energy level, making sure they get plenty of time to explore and potty while staying secure on leash. I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness.
About: In need of someone to care for your fur baby(babies)… I’m your dog sitter! I love animals, I will treat them like my own Gizmo( Bullmastiff mix); the complete experience opposite of a kennel! I do work as well as dog sit but with assistance, if by chance I have to step out, they will be unattended for no longer than 3 hours max. From blind and elder dogs to energetic puppies, I cater and adhere to all needs and requests. To maximum your reservation and get your fur baby(babies) settled, I do prefer early morning drop offs if that is convenient for the owner. I am able to do local pick ups as well if available for a small fee. Walks and playtime are scheduled catering to the pet(s) feeding times, potty times and energy. I typically walk 3 times a day and the distance varies by the pet’s comfort. Playtime and “pawtytime”( your pets deserve Me time too) fits in between walks. Your pets will be loved and treated like family every visit. I have an open apartment for them to run around and be themselves. I’ve housed a cat and 4 dogs at the same time (with their owners permission and being mindful of compatibilities) due to my minimalistic living atmosphere. My apartment is alarmed by Ring and I have a camera to monitor when they are unattended. My apartment complex has a small lawn in the front, this where they will frequent to for potty time and/or stretch their paws for a brief moment. For walks, I stay local to the Beltline, Piedmont park and Central Park.
About: I have a degree in animal science so I know lots about all sorts of animals, i love all animals with a passion. I’m a dog mom of 3! Currently working Wednesday from 2-5 and Friday 6-12. So the rest of the week I can play and walk your pups 🐶!! I’m super flexible with my schedule. I have three pups of my own and two acres of land for them to run and play, I do prefer to do walks or in home check ins on others animals though! One of my pups gets anxious around others sometimes. But he’s not aggressive.
“Erika did a fantastic job with our girls! They bonded with her almost immediately. This was our 2nd time using Erika and we plan to continue using her services anytime we need a sitter in our home. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation. She is trustworthy and dependable.”


“V is amazing with all of our babies (1 dog and 3 cats), and gives them so much love and attention! They will definitely miss her! I love the updates, pictures and videos! It's a great feeling knowing they are in great care while you are away! We will be booking V again in the future!”


About: I have grown up with animals my whole life! I’ve had dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, and fish! My cat has epilepsy so I am very experienced with administering medication and dealing with special critters 🥰 I would love to take care of your pets! I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule. I am happy to accommodate your needs whether it’s walks during the day or overnight stays to make sure they are well taken care of.

About: I am someone who absolutely loves being with animals and getting to see their personalities. I also know the importance of the trust given to people like me and I don’t take it lightly. I will do everything to exceed your needs and your fur baby! I’m excited for any opportunity given to work with pets. Let’s Connect I currently am looking for a side gig that I enjoy such as this! I will be completely open until June 16th! But willing to work with you on a schedule that works for both of us! My biggest thing is comfort and cleanliness. I want to make sure that I always leave an area better than I found it—-whether that means putting up toys, cleaning up an accident or just small things that makes everyone’s life easier. I always send pictures to owners of their pets to show that their pet is comfortable and safe. And I always make it a point to ask about anything I am unsure about and what the owner’s preferences are. That is my priority is safety, cleanliness and comfort. Any questions or concerns I am always willing to fix. I’m here to take some stress off your shoulders!
About: I have a soft spot for animals because I grew up with lots of them and hope to help strays in the future. I’ve helped my mom my entire life with her dog business so I’m very familiar and comfortable with caring for dogs! I have a very flexible schedule so I’m typically available if needed. I am able to do a few drop ins a day and for long term clients, overnight stays. If your pet needs to be let out in a fenced area or walked I can do that along with feeding and providing fresh water when needed. Additionally, I don’t mind a little enrichment such as playing fetch or a little tug of war. All animals should feel safe and comfortable and I provide that feeling.
About: Experienced and reliable pet caregiver providing attentive care for dogs and cats, including pets with special needs such as diabetes. Committed to following routines, administering medications as directed, and ensuring pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I work full time but offer flexible pet care scheduling, including early morning, evening, and weekend visits. I carefully plan my availability to ensure each pet receives reliable, attentive care without rushing or interruptions. I offer dependable pet sitting in my home or in your pet’s familiar environment, with safety, trust, and comfort as my top priorities. I follow care instructions carefully, maintain routines, and provide attentive supervision to ensure pets feel secure and well cared for. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their pets are treated with the same care and respect as my own.
“Abigail was amazing! Gave me such peace of mind knowing my babies were in good hands. She took care of my dog and 2 cats as if they were her own. Happy to know we all made a new friend and will most definitely be contacting her again next time”

“We cannot say enough great things about Blanca. She cared for our home and dogs for three and half days and did an amazing job! We came home to a clean house, clean dogs, and she even worked on some training with them!! They had her full undivided attention the entire time and were so spoiled with cuddles, long walks, and playtime! We would recommend her 100 times over and will definitely be using her in the future! Thank you so much, Blanca!”
