I have 2 dogs of my own. I’m available for visits and walks in the evenings in May. I’ll have week day and weekend availability in June and July. After July, I’ll be available mostly on weekends. I will follow any rules and routines you have set for your pet when visiting and walking your fur baby. I will make sure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured before leaving. I’m happy to send photos of pets if requested.

“I really should just pay you for the pictures you take instead of the dog walking! 🤣 they’re hilarious & crack me up! Thank you for taking such great care of my fur baby. It brings me so much relief to know she’s having fun and in good hands, while I’m at work.”

About: I grew up working on Cheryl's farm. Savethehorses. Helped look after all kinds of animals including over 15 dogs. There was never a dull moment being surrounded by all types of animals in my care. I currently own 3 dogs now but have owned up to 5 dogs at one time and cats in the past. I have raised a couple dog liters as well as one cat liter. All found amazing homes and I have been able to stay connected to watch them grow and thrive. I have training in animal behavior as it is important to know what to look for when caring after someone else's animal, even your own. Things can happen fast and you have to be able to know what to do next. I have raised three male dogs in my house hold and as you probably can guess, things can get overwhelming but it's important to know what to do if an animal makes a quick decision that can change the situation very quickly. Each animal has their own specific needs and I will be sure to follow what is needed for your fur babies to thrive while you are away or working in within your home. Whether it is my animal I'm caring for or someone else's, I take it very seriously to ensure the proper care is given. I have a senior dog at home as well, she is 13yrs old with cancer and a deteriorating spinal cord disease who gets supplements every morning amongst other medications. She is my couch potato but my absolute world, she is fragile and living out the last years of her life being the wonderful potato she is. I have experience in birthing two dog liters and 1 cat liter. Experienced in what is needed before and after birth. Extra care if needed. I have worked along the side of a professional dog trainer as well as helped run a boarding and training facility up to 30 dogs, being one out of two kennel techs. I work at a vet hospital in ellijay, ga for dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds currently. I am looking to help others out who need the extra hand in caring for their fur babies. If your working from home or away or just simply need the extra hand. I've got you! Sometimes it takes a village and it's important to know you can trust someone to take care of your fur babies no matter the size or fluff. It's important to take your pups for a walk or utilize the pets favorite way to get all that energy out could be throwing a ball or Sometimes even going for a run if you have any that are like my huskies and cattle dogs, that energy never dies.

“Super personable and extremely nice!! Thank you so much!”

About: Animal Shelter Enrichment Volunteer, Stephanie "Stevie" is experienced with managing the special needs of high-anxiety and/or reactive dogs. She has rescued and rehabilitated 3 dogs of her own, and 6 cats. She is an active volunteer at the local animal shelter, helping with adoption events and enrichment activities. Stevie has been a pet-sitter since she was 12 years old. She started with plants and birds, and now 20 years later, can work with any animal, including ones that require bottle feedings, complex medication schedules, or homestays up to 2 weeks. Farm animals too! Chickens, ducks, and goats! She was a camp counselor for 3 summers and also conducted a work exchange at a homestead farm for 1 summer. She successfully worked for Trusted Housesitters but has switched to Rover for more local opportunities. I work remotely part-time and have a flexible schedule that can meet all of your pet's individual needs. 24/7 care and attention for your animal! I understand your home is your sanctuary, and I aim to leave it as if I was never there. All poops are bagged up and properly disposed of immediately. All water drops or pee piddles are cleaned up with pet-safe sanitation spray. The door locks are always double checked upon departure. I send pictures of your pets happy and healthy during every visit.

About: Reliable, structured care is what sets me apart. I’m happy to follow your established routines and house rules to ensure consistency for your pet. I’m comfortable with puppies (crate routines and reinforcing good habits) as well as senior dogs who need a slower, more attentive pace. I regularly care for dogs during the weekday and am experienced managing routines, timing, and midday coverage. I prioritize dependable timing, clear communication, and making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ve owned dogs for over 15 years and have been pet sitting since 1995. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Pet care is already part of my regular weekday routine, allowing me to provide consistent and reliable service. I structure my schedule to maintain dependable timing for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I’m typically available for weekday midday and afternoon care, and I also offer boarding with a safe, structured environment and plenty of outdoor time for play, exercise, and fresh air. I don’t currently have dogs of my own, which allows me to provide a calm environment and give your pet my full attention. I keep my schedule organized to ensure each pet receives attentive, well-paced care and doesn’t feel rushed or overlooked. Safety and consistency are my top priorities in both my home and my client’s home. I follow each pet’s established routine closely, including feeding schedules, crate or free-roam preferences, and any specific care instructions. In my home, I provide a calm, structured environment with a large, fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor time, exercise, and enrichment. Pets are never left unattended with unknown animals, and I prioritize a low-stress setting tailored to each dog’s temperament. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and maintain your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and secure. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any changes that might indicate stress or discomfort. I’m also comfortable administering basic medications if needed. I focus on clear communication, dependable care, and making sure both you and your pet feel confident and at ease.

“Great job! Avery is great she showed up on time and took excellent care of our dog!”

About: I have two of my own dogs. One of them actually just had puppies and I delivered them and took care of them myself. I love big dog breeds I work full time until four Monday through Friday. I would have time to after I get off work. I am very excited to be helping others with their dogs. I take care of my two golden retrievers I have all the time. I take them on long walks everyday after I get off of work and they are very well trained and behaved

About: I have only ever cared for certain dogs for very short intervals of time. I care for my personal dog, which is a yorkshire terrier/poodle mix, and he is a small dog under 15 pounds. I have walked a few dogs before that were of medium and big size. I am a very caring person and love dogs of every breed. I only want the very best for your furry companions because I would want the same for mine. I am hoping to gain a lot of experience from pet sitting and hope that you consider me a good fit as your sitter. I do not have any special skills, I just really love dogs and want to spend my spare time having a ton of fun with them. Thank you. I work 3 12 hour shifts per week from 7pm-7am so I am available on my days off for drop ins and walks! I prefer a notice a couple of weeks in advance if booking an overnight stay so I am hopefully able to tweak my work schedule. Thanks! My dog sleeps in the bed with my husband and I and is free to roam around the house during the day. I will care for your dog however you prefer.

“Amazing care of my buddy. Great piece of mine!”

About: With a lifelong passion for dogs, I bring a wealth of experience to my dog sitting services. Growing up with dogs, I've developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. Now, as a proud dog mom of three fur babies and the owner of a small business tailored just to pups, you can rest assured that your babies will be cared for in a loving and fun environment. 🫶🏼🫶🏼 As a full-time worker with flexible hours, I seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine through thoughtful planning and prioritization. Here is what a day in our household looks like with my 3 pups to give you an idea: **Morning Ritual**: Each morning, I dedicate the first 30 minutes to an hour to my pups. This includes a refreshing walk or playtime, allowing them to stretch their legs and get some exercise while I enjoy the fresh air and bond with them. **Flexible Breaks**: With my flexible work schedule, I can take advantage of breaks throughout the day. During these breaks, I make it a point to check in on my pups, giving them attention, a quick play session, or just some affectionate cuddles. **Midday Engagement**: When my work allows, I set aside time around lunchtime to either take my dogs out for another short walk or engage them in interactive play. This keeps them stimulated and helps break up their day. **Evening Quality Time**: After work, I prioritize quality time with my pups. Whether it’s a longer walk, a visit to the dog park, or training sessions, I make sure they get ample exercise and mental stimulation, reinforcing our bond. **Weekend Adventures**: On weekends, I plan longer outings or fun activities, such as hiking, going to the lake, adventures to the ballpark or visiting pet-friendly places. This not only provides them with physical exercise but also allows us to work on social interaction while exploring and enjoying our time together. By incorporating these strategies, I ensure that my pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for, all while successfully balancing my work commitments. Now, this is merely just an example of my every day with my own boys, When imagining what you may or may not need when it comes to caring for your pet, customizing yours and your pet’s needs is always essential. Caring for someone else's pet in their home requires attention to detail, respect for their routines, and a genuine love for animals. Here is what that looks like when tending to your pet and their needs: 1. **Understanding the Pet’s Needs**: Before starting, I have a detailed conversation with the pet owner to learn about the pet’s daily routine, dietary needs, exercise requirements, and any specific behaviors or quirks. 2. **Following Instructions**: Adhering strictly to the care instructions provided by the pet owner. This includes feeding schedules, medication administration, and any special care instructions. 3. **Creating a Comfortable Environment**: When possible, I like to do a meet & greet with the pup(s) and their owners to ensure they are comfortable come time for me to start caring for them. Maintaining the pet's usual environment as much as possible. Keeping their sleeping area, toys, and feeding spots in the same locations to minimize stress. 4. **Establishing a Routine**: Sticking to the pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. Consistency helps the pet feel secure and comfortable while their owner is away. 5. **Providing Plenty of Attention**: Spending quality time with the pet to ensure they feel loved and cared for while their owner is away. Engaging in play, training, or simply cuddling to keep them happy. Of course happy to incorporate things you as a pet owner may request as needed. 6. **Staying Active**: Ensuring the pet gets enough physical activity according to their needs. Taking them for walks, playing fetch, or engaging in other activities they enjoy. 7. **Maintaining Cleanliness**: Keeping the pet's living area clean. This includes regularly changing their water, cleaning up after them, and maintaining their litter box if applicable. 8. **Monitoring Health and Behavior**: Keeping an eye on the pet's health and behavior. Such as changes in appetite, appearance, mannerisms or energy levels, notifying the owner immediately. 9. **Emergency Contacts**: I make sure to have a list of emergency contacts, including the owner's vet and an alternate emergency contact. Knowing what to do in case of an emergency. 10. **Providing Updates**: Regularly updating the pet owner on how their pet is doing. Sending photos or messages to reassure them and keep them connected to their furry baby. These guidelines I have can ensure you that your pet will receive the best care possible while you’re away. Fostering trust and peace of mind for both you and your pet. 😇🫶🏼

About: Let me come take care of your fur babies! I provide excellent, individually catered care for each pet and I have the extra experience being a registered veterinarian technician! Does your pet need special care? No problem at all! I can cater to any need; whether that be a playful puppy that needs to go on a long run to get some energy out or an older senior pet that needs daily medications and extra cuddle time. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, a variety of reptiles, birds, fish, turtles, and other farm and exotic pets! Just let me know the details and I would be happy to care for them too! A little about me: Besides being an overall animal lover, I graduated in June 2019 with my Associates Degree in Veterinarian Nursing. I have a horse named Reno; who is a 23 yr old quarter paint! I adore him with all my heart and soul. I used to ride in local rodeos until I retired Reno at the age of 16. Now, he resides in Milton, Ga. and is taken care of daily at a boarding facility where I see him a couple times a week. I enjoy working out, running, drawing and reading! If I'm not at the barn or at work, you can usually find me out in advance tires with my daughter, or with my husband taking our dog Silo for a walk. I work at a local animal hospital and have several years experience with companion pets and even some exotics! I aspire to become a anesthesiologist in small animal veterinarian medicine! I have a flexible schedule and would be happy to discuss arrangements for your pet from time sensitive medication dosing, morning walks and multiple feeding schedules. No two pets are alike! That's why I take extra care and time to go over your pets individual needs. I have a degree in animal medicine so I am proficient in animal care, emergency critical care and overall animal health and well being.

About: I have always had a strong love for animals. I own animals of my own, and they are like children to me. I love meeting new animals and getting to know them. I am a very active person and playful. I have so much love to give out to all animals! I have had a lot of experience taking care of furry friends. I am a student in college, but I'm looking for easy ways to earn money. I thought I would put myself put there for others to know that I am here to help with animals, so I could have a fun, easy, and flexible job to help me make a better living for myself to get through school. I also have been volunteering at Pickens Animal Shelter for awhile now, so I have met numerous different types of furry friends. I am very patient and have experience with frighened, nervous, and even agressive animals that just need more compassion. I also have experience with taking care of livestock, including llamas! Unfortunately, I'm not able to have fun with furry friends 24/7, but I am still flexible and usually don't have issues working out schedules that are needed. For overnight booking, I definitely prepare to be there majority of the time. I love my let's very much and they are a good mix between inside and outside dogs. I pretty much give them free will to pick. They always sleep with me at night. I have lots of land to play on. In a client's home, I will follow any instructions or rules they ask. Otherwise, I try and do what is best for the pets and make them comfortable and I have no problem cuddling and sleeping with them too!
