“Liz was absolutely wonderful with our newly adopted dog. She was so patient, kind, and clearly experienced in working with dogs who are still adjusting to a new home. She took him on long walks, gave him lots of attention, and treated him like her own. We’re so grateful to have found Liz and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”

“Suzanne was nothing but spectacular. She was extremely meticulous with our pets and I was very comfortable having her stay in our home. She went above and beyond with things around the house, inside and out. Watered plants, filled feeders, laundry etc. She was always reachable and sent pictures. I am pretty particular with who I choose to watch our pets and Suzanne exceeded my expectations. ❤️ Thank you, Suzanne!!”

“Avary did an amazing job watching my for baby and chickens for the weekend. They were well taken care of and the house was left the way I left it. My only complaint is I wish she sent me more pictures. Definitely will book again.”

“Daniela was amazing. When we got home from our trip our dog was so happy and relaxed. She washed our sheets and sent us regular updates of how everything was going while we were away. I would highly recommend Daniela.”

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.

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.

“So glad to have found MaryKate. I have a dog with high anxiety and it’s difficult to get away. He was completely comfortable with her, and I had a great stress-free weekend away. Oh, and two senior cats. No problem.”


“McKinnon does a wonderful job dog sitting for our dogs and our home. She spends quality time with them and excellent care. I would highly recommend her to take care of your family pets.”


“Robyn did a superb job caring for our senior dog and senior cat. This was our first experience using Rover and the experience was so easy from start to finish. Our dog had a small medical issue while we were gone and she handled it so well. I do think our cat is having withdrawals from all the attention he got. We will definetly use Robyn again and would highly recommend her!”


About: We love dogs! I have had dogs all of my life and have been dog sitting "officially" as well for the past 3 years. Leave your baby in loving, caring hands while you are away. They will get all of the love and attention that you would give them if you were home!
“Cheney did a great job caring for our puppy! She has such a sweet, understanding, fun demeanor and our dog loved her! She kept us updated throughout the time she watched our pup and she was extremely timely with her communication before the visit. We will definitely book with Cheney again!”

“Cathy took great care of my 2 mini schnauzers. They were relaxed (as much as mini schnauzers can relax😆) and healthy when we returned home. I felt very comfortable leaving my doggies with Cathy in charge! Cathy was very communicative throughout her stay and she was respectful of our home. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We will continue to have her help us with our doggies during our times away from home.”

“My dog sitter had an issue the day before. Mary stepped in last minute and saved the day! She took incredible care of nefe and was so gracious to take such a short notice request. Absolutely recommend and will be booking her again! Thank you so much for everything!”

“Jenna was great even Sage our Jack Russell that gets anxious when we leave on a trip warmed up to her quickly. Nova our other dog loved her from the moment she walked in. She left the apartment clean and very happy dogs. Jenna’s response rate and updates were 100%, I would definitely recommend having Jenna take care of your pets.”

“Ciera was the kindest soul, very professional, communicative, extremely orderly and punctual and just by how our pups were when we returned home we can tell they were loved and treated well in our absence! Ciera is wonderful for drop-ins or for house sitting! We would trust her with either! We are grateful we found her and would love to hire her again without hesitation! Thank you a million times Ciera!❤️”

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.

About: I love caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away! I've been dog sitting for family and friends for the past three years and have experience with all kinds of pups. From energetic puppies who need lots of attention and playtime to senior dogs who require medication and a little extra care. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always do my best to help them feel relaxed and right at home. I love being active and spending time outdoors, so if your dog enjoys walks, playtime, or just hanging out outside, I'll make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. If they're more laid-back and prefer relaxing inside, I'm happy to spend quality time indoors too! I also have experience caring for elderly dogs, including administering medications and following special care instructions. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away and make sure your pet gets lots of love and the best care possible! Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving medications, or just keeping them company. I’m flexible with my schedule and always make sure pets get plenty of attention. I always make sure to follow all of my client's instructions and care for their pets as if they were my own. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I will also treat your home with the same respect and care! I prioritize keeping everything clean and exactly how I found it while you're away.

About: I've owned dogs all my life and I currently own my first cat but most importantly I've worked in boarding facilities for 2 years and I currently work as a vet assistant and have been doing it for 2 years. My extensive experience working in the pet care industry gives me the ability to make sure your pets are cared for properly. I work part time and would love to spend my spare time playing and snuggling with your pups. My girl needs ton of playtime so I know how important it is they get that while you are away! Many dogs are slow to warm up to strangers and that's ok! I work at the pups pace to make sure our time is stress free. Once they are used to me we can play in the yard or inside if it is too hot for them. We can just hang out together or even go on a walk. My dog loves other dogs, if you would like for your dog to have a playdate we can do that too!
