Your Pet’s New Best Friend

Pet care experience

I bring a well-rounded blend of experience, training, and genuine love for animals to every stay. I volunteered at the Atlanta Humane Society for two years, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all temperaments, ages, and needs. I’m trained in dog and cat CPR, can administer oral medications, and I’m comfortable giving injections such as insulin. I’ve cared for senior dogs, special needs pups, and pets with strict medical routines. I’m also great with high-energy dogs—I own one myself and understand how much exercise and stimulation they require! Whether your pet needs calm companionship, playtime galore, or a little extra medical support, I tailor care to fit their unique needs.

Payton was a very sweet and friendly person. She arrived on time and took good care of Roxy. It was a very rainy day and Paxton entertained Roxy and gave me regular updates. She kept the house nice and clean as well from muddy paws.

Safety, trust & environment

I only offer overnight care in the client’s home, as I believe pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I do my best to match the structure they’re used to—whether that means specific walk times, feeding routines, medication schedules, or just extra snuggles on the couch. During overnight stays, I’m typically at the home for at least 8 hours overnight, and I check in throughout the day for walks, meals, and attention. I always communicate regularly with updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. If your pet requires more constant supervision, I can accommodate that as well—I just ask that we discuss the schedule in advance so I can plan accordingly and adjust the rate to reflect the full-time care.

Information Payton S. would like to know about your pet

It’s really important for me to know whether your pet is low-maintenance or high-maintenance, and I ask that you’re completely honest about that during our meet and greet—this helps me provide the best possible care and ensures the rate accurately reflects your pet’s needs. If your pet requires medications, has a special diet, needs frequent potty breaks, or needs constant supervision, please let me know up front so I can tailor my care plan accordingly. I always go over everything in detail at our meet and greet, including your pet’s routine, behavior, and health needs. If you’d like a full price breakdown before booking, feel free to message me—I’m always happy to walk you through exactly what’s included and how rates may adjust based on the level of care needed.

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy, active, and engaged! For high-energy pups, I’m all about long walks, games of fetch, tug-of-war, and brain games to burn off some steam. For more laid-back pets, we’ll enjoy cozy couch time, belly rubs, and slow strolls around the neighborhood. I also have experience with enrichment activities like food puzzles and scent games to keep their minds sharp. I tailor everything to your pet’s personality—whether they’re a cuddle bug, a ball chaser, or a curious explorer, we’ll have fun in a way that makes them feel right at home.

Pet care is a huge part of my daily life—I am a professional golfer on the Epson Tour and the Annika Women’s All Pro Tour, and when I’m not on the course, I’m fully dedicated to the pets I care for. I build my golf practice and fitness schedule around my pet-sitting commitments and always make sure each pet gets the attention, love, and structure they need. That said, I’m currently in full tournament season, which makes it crucial for me to have 2–5 hours a day to train and practice. If I’m staying overnight with your pet, it’s important that I’m able to leave during the day for golf and to check in on other clients as needed. I always return throughout the day to provide care, walks, and enrichment, and I make sure your pet stays comfortable and happy in their own home. If your pet requires full-time supervision, I’m happy to provide that—but I’ll adjust the rate accordingly to reflect the dedicated care and time commitment.
