Robyn did a fantastic job housesitting/petsitting. She kept the house just as we left it, and the pets were all happy! Easy to communicate with her. We will rely on her again!

About: I've had dogs, cats, horses, goats, and chickens on my small farm. Guinea pigs, hamsters, and snakes I've been surrounded by animals of all kinds. My experience includes caring, raising, training and giving medical care if needed. I also have a degree in animal science. I'm retired, so my schedule is very flexible. I can work weekends and holidays. I am very dependable. I send pictures and daily updates. I would love the opportunity to feed, play, and insure your pets are doing well. I know how to approach animals, both timid and energetic. I have the experience to know when an animal is fine or in distress and can be trusted to give the proper care that's needed.

She did a great job watching our 3 dogs overnight. She was very communicative and sent so many updates that made us feel super comfortable. We will definitely use her any time we travel.

Kaitlyn is wonderful. We have 2 dogs and a cat. One of our dogs is VERY anxious. We needed someone who could take extra care with him and she definitely did. She stayed overnight with them on our home. She arrived promptly, followed all instructions and sent multiple photo/text updates. She played with them and adapted to their lifestyle/schedule. I would 100% have her stay again and I definitely highly recommend her.

Christina was amazing. I was worried at first to find someone that could handle our Bear. Once we met with Christina I know Bear would be in good hands. She sent me pics throughout our trip of Bear with little updates. We returned to a clean house and a very happy pup. We'll be using her again

Courtney was AMAZING! We were a little nervous as this was our first time having a house/dog sitter. But Courtney far exceeded our expectations. She was sweet, her communication was timely and she went above and beyond to make sure our dogs we happy while we were gone. We will definitely be using Courtney again in the future.

Marcus was the perfect weekend companion for our pup. He gave great love and attention to Ramses, and was wonderful at reassuring us, sending updates and pictures often! Excellent communicator! Our house was well taken care of too when he stayed over. We absolutely will book Marcus again for our next trip away from home, I know our pup already misses him!

Our first time leaving our puppy for the evening was a little unnerving, but Heaven was great with him. He was a little anxious at first, but settled down quickly. We felt comfortable knowing that Heaven was with him for the evening. She has a calming demeanor and really cares for the dogs. We were worried that he would act up during the night, but Heaven handled him brilliantly. We are very pleased with the service and especially Heaven.

About: With years of hands-on experience breeding dogs and training German Shepherds, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior, structure, and care to every pet I watch. From high-energy working dogs to beloved family companions, I provide attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care tailored to each dog’s needs. Whether it’s structured exercise, basic reinforcement training, or just dependable companionship, your pet will be in experienced and caring hands. I have part time job that I work at occasionally, but my passion is caring for our furry friends! I have 3 of my own and always find my most joyful moments are spent loving on them. Caring for pets is all about meeting them in their comfort space and going from there. Each furry friend has their own boundaries and when caring for them, it is vital to get to know them and build a trusting relationship with them, based on their personality. A meet and greet is the best way I have found to start this relationship.

Christine is excellent. She sent pictures and took care of our cat, Sandy, while we went camping for the weekend. She even made sure to play with Sandy so she didn’t get bored. It was a relief to know she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend!

About: Hello! My name is Moe and I have had the pleasure of being around animals my entire life. From helping my parents with the many pets we have owned to watching my neighbor's and relative's animals, and even farm sitting, taking care of and loving animals has been an integral part of my life! I have job experience at a pet boutique that also provided grooming, daycare, and boarding services. I also have work experience as a dog walker in the metro Atlanta area, and love getting to interact with the various types of pets I come across. I have all of the skills and experience to make sure your beloved pet is treated and taken care of the exact way it needs! Pet care is worked in to my weekly routine by ensuring we get plenty of time together before and after my work shifts. I work as the Studio Manager for our local Wine & Design with work days usually being Tuesday-Saturday 10 am - 6 pm! With pet parent permission I am allowed to bring dogs in to work to spend the day with me as well! I do my best to incorporate plenty of enrichment such as play time or walks to ensure that the critters are expending their energy and not spending too much time wondering where their owners are!!

About: Hello! I am Adeline! I am a local so I know there area pretty well! I’ve been working in the animal world for nearly 4 years now and have had 2.5 years of vet tech experience! I have since left the field but want to stay in close contact with animals! I am currently working 9-5 Monday-Friday and have most availability on weekends if overnights are needed. Although I am flexible and do still offer overnight stays during the week depending on distance! I have a few hours in the morning to be able to accomplish any care the fur babies will need in the morning but afternoon drop offs do work the best during the week! I also am not limited to just pets when drop offs are needed! My own fur babies at home are always very well taken care of, happy and healthy. I would treat your furry family with the most respect, care and compassion as I would my own!
