“Kailyn was absolutely amazing with our furbaby! She loved on her and kept me posted with pictures and videos all weekend! She left the house immaculate and with a happy pup! We will definitely use her again!”


“Lucas has been absolutely awesome. We booked him last minute and he was so thoughtful about pricing and offered services like dog walking for no extra cost. My dog warmed up to him very quickly. I would definitely recommend him.”


“Jen was awesome!! She house sat for 5 days and followed the schedule I left for my two fur babies. Both dogs are large dogs and she walked them every day without hesitation! They were happy and very well taken care of. I was able to relax and not worry because Jen would send text and pictures daily letting me know what was going on. I will definitely be using her again. Thanks Jen!”


“Meaghan was great! Our dogs absolutely loved her and had a great time during our absence. She was timely, communicative, and had no issues with our anxious pups and their many needs. We can’t recommend her enough and will absolutely rebook with her!”


“Sarah was amazing! She took such great care of both our cat and dog—5/5 would absolutely recommend. She kept us updated the entire stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to a clean house and happy pets. Couldn’t have asked for more!”

About: I have taken care of multiple animals. I have experience in providing medication as well as dog walking. I’m excited to have the opportunity to love on your fur baby while you are away. I currently work Tuesday through Friday. I’m available for lunch time walks and evening care on these days. I am mostly available Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I live on 10 acres and have space for your fur babies to run around. I currently have 1 small dog and two cats that get along well with other animals. I have the ability to crate your babies as well. If I am in your home, I strive to make your fur baby feel comfortable and safe.

About: I have had animals all of my life. I have been personally responsible for the care of my pets since I was seven years old. I was always raised to treat my pets like family, and I do the same with all animals I interact with. I regularly pet sit for my friends and family, and have been doing so since I was a teenager. I have experience with cats, dogs, lizards, snakes, birds, frogs, and most rodents. I am a stay at home wife and mother, so I have a lot of free time in my day. My children are young, so I cannot have animals in my home that don’t get along well with children. I have three friendly, well trained dogs to get along with each other greatly. They’ve gotten along with any other dogs that have been under my care. They are also great with my small children. My dogs get fed twice a day, they get walked on demand, and they are allowed to sleep where they please. When they were puppies, they did sleep in a crate in my room. But as they were trained, they were allowed to use the crate as they please. My dogs are very spoiled, they get plenty of treats, they have lots of toys, they have their own beds, and their own blankets.

“Shannon was AMAZING! She sent me pics and also FaceTimed me several times when I was on vacation. My dog is a super picky girl and will at times refuse to eat (especially when she is stressed). When I came home she had clearly eaten well bc looked so healthy and happy! Meeka got a daily walk as well Shannon fed my fish and watered my freshly potted flowers As well so they didn’t die in the GA summer heat!!!”


“Ridge did an amazing job, and was great communicator! He took care of my two boys while we were out of town and we felt super comfortable knowing he was there! Would definitely rebook with him and 10/10 would recommend”



“Devin was a great sitter! Our original sitter cancelled last minute and she was so helpful in making our last minute booking work with her schedule. We received nightly updates and photos of our sweet boys and we relaxed even more during our trip knowing they were taken care of! Definitely a 10/10 and will hopefully be able to use Devin in the future!”


About: I’ve had family dogs since I was 4 years old and they have always been a huge part of my life! A little over 3 years ago, I took on my first dog of my own, Duke, while in college! I take care of him full-time and I like to think he has a very happy life! He is my best friend! My goal is to make sure your dogs feel exactly how I want my baby Duke to feel everyday: happy, healthy, and right at home! I work 9-5 but have a very flexible schedule! If I need to leave a little earlier or come in a little later, I can! I’m not currently accepting boarding at my home. However, I am more than willing to take care do your fur baby in your own home! I fully believe pets feel the most comfortable in their own familiar environment and I will do my best to make sure the only thing they’re missing from their daily routine is you!
