“John was amazing with my 2 high energy pups! I contacted him and since the beginning he was very responsive and came for meet and greet before booking to ensure we were a good fit. He made us feels at ease with a lot of pictures and report cards which those made us laugh a few times! I will be booking with him again! Thank you John!! Sandy & Apollo!”

“Maximilian watched my two cats, June and May for 2 days. He did a great job following all instructions and was flexible throughout the whole booking process which I appreciated because my travel plans changed last minute. I could tell from our initial meet and greet that he's had lots of experience taking care of pets which set me at ease. Highly recommend!”

“Meredith took great care of Kermit. She came when expected and provided lots of detailed updates and photos. I felt better knowing he was in good hands.”


About: Hello! I have taken care of pets since my high school days. I enjoy taking care of pets because it is a calming experience. Not only will I take care of your pet, I will dote on them because I believe these innocent animals deserve to be taken care of. I spend my free time playing outdoors and going on walks. I love to interact with animals. If you have a high energy pet it will fit perfectly with my active lifestyle. I care for pets by understanding their body language to be mindful of their needs. I plan on being a companion to your pet. I find joy in nurturing animals.

About: Hi! I've never met a dog that didn't like me. I'm a lifelong dog dad and Atlanta native. I've worked with large and small breeds as well as young and elderly dogs that need extra care. No dog is too unruly. I'm kind, calm, and attentive. While you're on a beach somewhere in the Carribean, your dog/dogs will be having their own fun back at home. We're talking walks, snacks, playtime, photoshoots, and more. They will still miss you, but less probably. I work remotely from home and my schedule is flexible enough that I'm able to schedule plenty of visits and walks with your fur baby/s. I have a fenced in 1/4 acre yard, a lot of tennis balls, and my own fur baby, Cali. Depending on your dog's personality they will be really excited or really annoyed by Cali's happy, but overly enthusiastic energy.
“Julia is awesome with our kitty! We know she’s in great hands whenever we’re out of town. Sometimes I think our cat likes Julia more than she likes us!”

“Lauren was absolutely amazing taking care of our cats while we were away. She kept us consistently updated with messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she really took the time to get to know each of them. Our more social cat warmed up to her right away, and even our shy one started to come around by the end. She went above and beyond with little things like leaving treats, checking all feeders and bowls, and making sure everything in the house was in great shape. She was also super communicative and flexible with timing, which we really appreciated. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like her own. We fully trust her and will absolutely be using her again. Highly recommend!”

“Enakshi was amazing! She was sweet and attentive, had excellent communication, and was truly wonderful to work with. She took great care of our cat and even went the extra mile by watering our plants, grabbing our mail, and cleaning up a bit of cat puke without us even asking. We’d absolutely book with her again!”

“The sitter was attentive, sending updates and photos, ensuring my pet was well. Their professionalism and genuine love for animals shone through, making me feel at ease. Highly recommended for pet owners!”

“Desiree was so helpful in watching our dogs! We haven’t had anyone dog sit at home before and she made us feel completely comfortable and constantly updated us on how the dogs were doing and sent pictures!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my unique blend of professional veterinary experience and hands-on pet care skills. As a vet tech, I’m trained in nail trimming, administering medications, and recognizing early signs of illness or stress. I have experience with basic obedience training and naturally pick up on canine communication and body language, which helps me connect with pets quickly. As a self-taught groomer for my poodle, I can provide light grooming and coat care. I’m also patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, and pets with special needs, ensuring they feel safe and loved. Pet care fits into my routine alongside my responsibilities as a full-time college student and my job as a veterinary technician with VIP Pet mobile clinic. On Mondays, my two labs keep me busy until 4 p.m., so I’m unavailable then. From Tuesday through Friday, I’m free after 2 p.m., which gives me flexibility to provide reliable, attentive care for pets. This schedule allows me to balance school, work, and pet sitting while ensuring availability during afternoons and evenings. In both my home and a client’s home, I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, walk routine, and daily habits to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive, proactive, and provide plenty of playtime, cuddles, and conversation to make pets feel loved. I also have given light grooming, including occasional haircuts, baths, and blow dries, so pets can look and feel their best. Every pet gets individualized attention, treats when allowed, and the comfort of a safe, caring environment where they can relax and nap peacefully.
“Audrey was great, looked after our babies wonderfully, kept us updated every visit with notes and photos, even cleaned up a dead present brought in by one of our babies”


About: Double the dog love! We are one life long dog owner and one life long dog lover happy to provide care for pooches of all shapes and sizes. We've dog sat for puppies who had never been left home alone before all the way to a fourteen-year-old terrier, partially deaf and blind in one eye. We're adept at tailoring care to each dog's specific needs, energy level and instruction. We are generally available with preferred evenings and weekends for the initial meet and greets. Check our calendar for exact availability. We generally prefer to host a dog for a minimum two nights. We both work from home so we are home M-F; 9-5. Frequently home and checking on Fido on weekends and of course waking up and going to sleep with them in the home. Walks throughout the day as well as play and naps. We make sure to pay attention to habits and preferences of Fido - feeding times, walking times, toy preferences as well as sleep times and if dogs are allowed on furniture.

“Cabby was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, she communicated effectively and consistently, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog loved her, and it was clear from every update that he felt comfortable, cared for, and happy in her presence. Her visit notes were thoughtful and detailed, and the pictures she sent were truly the highlight of my day. I looked forward to every update because I could see how well my dog was doing and how much care she put into each visit. Cabby is truly a dog whisperer. She was attentive, reliable, kind, and so easy to work with. I am incredibly grateful for the care she provided and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pet.”

“Rian was great! Asked questions when she was unsure and made sure the cats were taken care of. Surprisingly one of our cars really liked her, when he is usually scared of new people! Will book with her again!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments and currently raise both a senior dog and a puppy, so I understand the different needs each stage requires. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medication (if needed), walks, crate training, and providing a calm, loving environment. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize safety, communication, and reliability. I have a flexible schedule and prioritize pet care daily since I have dogs of my own. I’m available for weekday mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends for walks or drop-ins. I can also provide boarding whenever it is needed. I provide a structured, safe, and attentive environment. My home has a fully fenced yard and two well-socialized dogs. I supervise all playtime, separate pets when necessary, and follow feeding, medication, and exercise routines carefully. Cleanliness, security, and communication are extremely important to me, and I provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind.
“Emma did an amazing job this weekend! She took very very good care of my boys. She had excellent communication throughout, sent adorable photos, and kept me updated. I really appreciated her letting me know about a small issue in the house—she handled it professionally and with care. Will definitely be hiring her again!”

Max has been extremely reliable for years now for Mela and I. Simply couldn’t ask for a better sitter to check in with her while I’m out, and she loves the rubs and play given. One of my favorite things about the experience has been the photos with updates I get, especially the Polaroids left as a surprise. Keep him in mind when booking, just leave time for us!

Julianne was amazing with our puppy! While we were nervous for the inevitable day to come where we would have to leave our new puppy at home for a quick trip Julianne made it perfect for us by being so patient with him so caring so thoughtful and so intentional with him. She shared so many updates came over several times a day and made sure that he felt comfortable at home without us. She followed all of our instructions to the T and made us feel so comfortable, knowing that our puppy was in great hands. Would highly recommend Julianne if you are considering!

Natali took care of our three cats while we were out of state and she was fantastic! One requires insulin injections, one requires an inhaler for asthma, and the other is just an old creeky cat. Three kitties who I would consider a lot of work and she left us such detailed and caring notes. Thank you!

Delfina was great! She sent pictures everyday, was very responsive, met before her official start day to meet my cats, see where everything was that they needed, learn the routine, and learn how to enter my apartment. She was wonderful and I would definitely book her again.

Mike was great for our pup Hazel. He was prompt, detail oriented and went above and beyond in caring for our dog. He even volunteered to pick up some food for her when she ran out after one of his drop-ins! Would highly recommend Mike and look forward to booking him in the future.

10/10. Exceptional service!! THANK YOU Melissa. Every aspect has been top-drawer. From communication and pre-meet, to daily photos and videos, to care of our cats. House was left very clean, and the cats were looking very healthy and happy on our return. We would use Melissa again, and will be highly recommending to neighbors. Thanks again, Melissa!
