About: Hi! I'm Michelle. I have over 34 years of experience in the field of veterinarian medicine, training and behavior modification. We offer overnight boarding as well as daycare for cats, dogs, and other pets. To prevent the spread of illness, we require that all pups be up to date on Rabies, Bordetella (kennel cough) and DHPP (parvo). In addition, cats should be current on Rabies and FeLv. Please send vaccine records to records@rufflanding (.com) We also ask that you provide your pets regular food, as sudden diet changes can upset their tummy. We have everything else they could possibly need! Our client service hours are: M-F 8-10AM & 3-6PM Sat & Sun 8-10AM We offer: Socialization, walks, friendly playmates, trips to the dog park if permitted, medication administration, constant potty breaks, photos and baths (upon request), and tons of affection! It's the next best thing to being home! Petcare is my full time business. I work from home sitting and boarding as well as hosting foster pets occasionally. Aside from dropping in on established pets or taking them on walks, I am home full time. We have a securely fenced yard and pets are constantly supervised when outside. We take potty breaks every 2 hours. We schedule socialization, enrichment and playtime activities to keep them busy and entertained.
“My dog Kobe is a high energy breed who needs his speed walks everyday. When I am sick or away, I needed to find someone who can give him the high energy walks he needs and I found that perfect person in Darya! I have used her three times already and already booked her for three more. Kobe comes home happy, excited and tired all in one. Darya has exceeded my expectations!”

About: I have had dogs since 2013. I had three, I currently have two. One of them had epilepsy, this gave me experience with seizures and administering medicine. I also worked at a doggy day care for 1 year, there I cared for large groups of dogs. We fed them, changed out water 4-5 times a day, picked up after them and played with them. I'm knowledgeable about dog behavior and how to avoid situations that would be harmful. I know to test the pavement heat before a walk on hot days. I'm currently seeking steady employment but am wanting to make this my steady job. I'm available during the week from six am to 5 pm I'm currently unable to pet sit in my home. I'm more than happy to pet sit in the dogs/cats home that makes the pets more comfortable as well since it's not a strange house with strange smells. I'm more than happy to drop in or stay for awhile. I enjoy taking walks and it's always good to have a friend (your pet) with me.

About: Hi! My name is Carissa, I am a recent graduate from the University of South Carolina. I'm originally from Pennsylvania! I’ve lived in downtown Eugene, OR ; Miami, FL ; Columbia, SC ; and now Georgia! I’ve hosted and have had multiple house visits with other dogs and cats! I’ve watched dogs ranging from a mini daschund to a great pyrenees! I grew up with a golden retriever and 2 cats, and now my family in Pennsylvania just lost our pitbull blue heeler mix (she was my absolute best friend). Some of my favorite hobbies include: reading, eating, taking photos, binge watching shows, and exercising. I've done daily walks for a dachshund while living in Miami, have hosted a bunch in Oregon, I had a weekly dog I’d daycare for and other bookings in Georgia, as well as my repeat pups and cats from Columbia! I have a little (lol) pup of my own! We rescued her from the shelter back in September, and she truly has become my soul dog. You can view her info on my profile I am pretty sure- she’s a pitbull Great Dane! Please send me a message and I will get back very quickly if I can or can’t! My schedule is fairly flexible- I do work full time. I do work full-time, but we can talk schedules to see how flexible I can be that week! I obviously have a dog of my own, but my bf and I usually have alternating schedules to adhere to her! (He’s also available on his off days if you’re comfortable to do what’s needed for a drop in/walk) I am currently not accepting any boarding because I am renting with my boyfriend until we can move into a house of our own! I am very watchful of pets because I want only the best for them and the peace of mind for you. Leash always outside, very mindful of surroundings, I do not let your dogs interact with others (even if you say its okay- its more of a personal thing I don't like to do). If you’d like for our dogs to meet and see if they mesh well for play dates- I’d love to chat about it!
“Ansley is super sweet and really works with you to meet your dogs needs. She is patient and kind and loves Archie like I love Archie. He loves her too! I couldn’t recommend Ansley enough for all of your dog care needs.”

About: I love animals. I have lots of cat experience and a bit less dog experience. I love to pet sit for my friends when they go out of town and I enjoy walking dogs for my daily exercise. My favorite thing to do these days is to stay home and watch movies with my cat or my parents’ 3-legged dog. I’m very attentive to the needs of animals to include their safety, cleanliness and health. I’m a nurse and I work 12 hour shifts. This means my schedule gives me more days off during the week when compared to a 9-5 job, but my schedule is not the same each week. If we schedule pet sitting in advance, this is what I would prefer. Last minute appointments would be fine too if I am off work for the day. I’m a bit of a night owl so weird hours are fine too. I have a fenced back yard and have hosted puppies before that I was fostering for a local rescue. I have a cat so dog friendly cats are preferred if you want them to stay over at my place. I can also stay at your place if preferred. I have a car

About: I have worked and been around animals since I was born. I use to work for a reserve rehabilitator and animal shop owner. I have worked with many breeds of cats and dogs and understand each one can be uniquely different. What works for one may not always work for another. I’m retired navy so I have all day to work with your animals. I can do drop ins throughout the day to check on them to let them out or take on a walk. Pretty flexible schedule. In my home I have a 5 year old husky who has been raised around cats and puppies. He is good at helping correct puppies. He has had one litter of his own pups. I do not have a fenced yard, but can take them on leash in the yard and live in a nice neighborhood to walk your animal. If you want crate training I have a couple already here at the house
About: I’ve used a different walking app before and I love being around cats and dogs! I’ve recently got a cute cat and his name is Alfred and recently Nala and they are the best thing ever! So I’m very capable of taking care of another cat and a puppy if needed and I can even take them for a walk if needed as well!

About: I've taken care of a multitude of dogs, big and small, since I was a little girl. I have always loved every kind of animal and love to clean and make sure things are taken care of. I am currently working part time as an administrative assistant at Topgolf, but communication is key! As long as I am given 1-2 weeks advance notice I can make myself available for you. I can easily crate your dog if needed and I am an expert at putting cats in carriers. I read animal body language very well and know when to step in and how to meet their exact needs.
About: I’ve cared for pets for friends, family, and colleagues, including feeding, walking, administering basic medications, and maintaining consistent routines. My background in ecology and animal biology means I’m especially attentive to behavior, stress signals, and overall health. I’m comfortable with all breeds of dogs, cats, horses, and other farm animals. I am a teacher who is currently available for the summer. This means I will have wide open availability to do in home pet sitting or frequent walking/taking out. I currently reside in an apartment in a safe neighborhood. Dogs love to go for walks around the neighborhood or nearby parks. There is no availability for them to ever be alone outside.
“DeAndre is dependable, trustworthy, and caring. He goes the extra mile to ensure our pups are well taken care of at all times. He provides photo updates and notes about his walks and visits. I highly recommend him and will continue to book with him.”
