“Samantha definitely went above and beyond to care for our dogs over the weekend. We never had to worry how they were doing or if they were being taken care of. She was so accommodating. We will definitely ask her to pet sit again!”


About: I’ve been dog sitting for over 4 years, caring for pets like they’re my own. One of my regular clients is the woman who does my hair and lashes—she trusts me so much, I’m the only person she asks to watch her dogs. I’ve also helped friends, family, and neighbors by walking, feeding, and bathing pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’m dependable, gentle, and always happy to follow special care instructions to keep pets happy and safe. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule. I only have one in-person class Tuesday–Thursday for a few hours, so I’m free most days and weekends to care for your pets. I’ll have plenty of time to walk, play, and keep them company throughout the week. I prefer to dog sit in the client’s home, as I live in an apartment with roommates. This allows your pet to stay in their familiar environment, which helps reduce stress. I will ensure they are cared for in a safe, loving atmosphere, with plenty of attention and affection.

About: I have cared for dogs all of my life. From puppy stage to elder care. They are not just our pets, they are our children. Currently working full time - but looking to adjust my work schedule or find a different full time job. I would love to care for your fur child! I have a fenced in yard, but pet care at my house is not offered. I would love to provide pet care at your residence.

“Sydney was a great sitter. She was informative about Bailey while we were away. She was prompt and as well as she was able to take us last minute especially with how hectic Masters had the local area. Thank you so much and I look forward to booking her again!”


“Hannah is kind, laid-back, and clearly shows she cares about making your dogs comfortable and happy while staying with them. I highly recommend her and will be asking her to come back to watch our dogs.”


“Shannon was absolutely amazing with my baby over the past few days. She was super communicative the entire time I was away, and FaceTimed me many times so that I could check in to see what my pup was up to! I don’t think he even realized I was away because he was having so much fun with Shannon the entire time. I will definitely request Shannon the time I have to leave town for any length of time. I cannot thank her enough!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. My current calm & freely flowing lifestyle allows me to give them lots of love attention. Everyone who knows me jokes about me being the animal whisperer! In recent years I’ve regularly sat for two dogs (puppy and adult), as well as two kittens. Cats and dogs in my care are are well fed, played with, loved on, and taken for nice active walks. I hope to establish long term, reliable pet-sitting relationships so that I can really get to know the animals I care for and provide a trusted sitter for fellow fur-parents! I work from home and I'm an oil painter -- many of the pets I sit love to watch me paint and they're the best company ever. :) I’m a full-time student, so my availability varies throughout the day. Upon request, I can commit to visits between classes and overnight care. My nights are typically free. I am always willing to make exceptions for urgent requests, so just ask me in advance! Schedule in advance for overnight arrangements. I have a spacious, three bedroom home. I have plenty of yard space for fresh air in between walks. I occasionally sit for my mother’s dog, Coco, who makes a great playmate and napping buddy for your dog/cat too. My place has minimal furnishings or hard surfaces, so it is pet proof! I adhere to any provided feeding schedules and send frequent updates on how your pet is doing.

About: Growing up, our home was a joyful (and sometimes chaotic!) zoo of dogs, cats, hamsters, turtles, and even the occasional rescue rabbit. My earliest memories are of curling up with our German Shepherd after school, sneaking bits of toast under the table, and learning—through muddy paws and tail wags—that animals aren’t just pets, they’re family. Over the years, I’ve been lucky to care for animals in every stage of life—from bottle-feeding newborn kittens to administering medication to sweet senior dogs with arthritis. I have a soft spot for rescues and shy animals who need a little extra time to trust. I’ve worked with high-energy breeds that thrive with structured walks and stimulation, as well as gentle couch potatoes who just want someone close by to snuggle. What truly sets me apart is my intuition and respect for each animal’s individuality. I don’t treat pet care like a checklist—I listen, observe, and adapt to what your pet needs. Is your dog a slow walker who likes to sniff every blade of grass? We’ll take our time. Do they need mental stimulation? Let’s puzzle it out together. Does your cat demand a very particular style of chin scratch? Challenge accepted. I’m also comfortable with basic training and reinforcing routines around crate time, leash etiquette, and mealtime manners. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels, because I know those subtle shifts matter. I’ve cared for pets with special diets, separation anxiety, allergies, and mobility issues—and I always treat these needs with the seriousness and compassion they deserve. To me, being a great pet sitter isn’t just about showing up on time—it’s about being fully present, fully invested, and truly loving what I do. I’m not just a caregiver—I’m your pet’s new best friend (and maybe their second-favorite human after you!). I work from home and make my own schedule so I build my days around your pets’ routines, not the other way around. I’m available for early morning walks, midday play breaks, or evening check-ins, and I pride myself on being reliable and responsive. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or your 9-to-5, I’m here to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. Whether in your home or mine, I create a safe, loving, and peaceful environment. I follow your instructions closely, keep spaces tidy and pet-friendly, and maintain communication throughout. I never leave pets unsupervised in unsafe situations, and I pay close attention to details—from locked gates to feeding routines. I have a fully-fenced, large yard for playtime and potty breaks, and there is no off-limits furniture for furry family members. My goal is always to make your pet feel secure, seen, and cared for.

About: As a mom, I understand responsibility routine, and gentle care. Your pets will feel right at home with me. Whether it’s daily walks feedings, play times or cuddles. I’m flexible and affordable and happy to accommodate your schedule. I typically do pet visits early morning lunch breaks evening and weekends. All pet visits will work around what is normal routine for their animal. Taking care of pets isn’t something I just fit in at something I enjoy and plan my week around. Sticking to a pets routine is what I find in the animals best interests. Feeding them, walking them playing outside and snuggles as if they were their own family.

About: I have my own furry friend who I grew up with before moving to Augusta :) He is a senior dog so I have experience with dental care routine, medicine care, walking, washing and nail clipping. I am currently a full-time student! I am free every weekend to take care of your furry friend! I am also available Monday - Friday after 5 pm. I am a caring and punctual person. I enjoy playing fetch and cuddling so your furry friend will never feel alone! I’ll make sure your animal is always comfortable in their beds with a blanket. Lastly, I would set alarms to be sure your dog or cat is fed on time or taken out on time as well!

“Carissa did an amazing job with our very picky picky boy. She knew his favorite activity was going on walks so she would take him on multiple walks a day. After she left we would find him laying in the guestroom that following week. Will definitely be booking again.”


About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 3 years and have three cats of my own—my babies! I also volunteer at local shelters and have experience with both dogs and cats, including my family’s big fluffy pup. I'm passionate, reliable, and treat every pet like family Pet care is naturally part of my daily life—I have 3 cats and help care for our family dog. I regularly volunteer at shelters, so my schedule is already pet-focused and flexible enough to fit in walks, feedings, check-ins, or overnight stays. I create a calm and safe environment for every pet. I follow each pet’s routine closely, provide regular updates, and always prioritize their comfort. Whether in your home or mine, I make sure pets feel secure, loved, and never overwhelmed. I’m also experienced with crates, feeding schedules


“Words can’t be expressed how wonderful Valerie was with Harley. She was living and spoiled him with cuddles. Highly recommend her if you need a person for your pet while away”

About: Young professional who loves pets! I am a young man of God! I believe, me and the pets, share a common factor in love for Jesus Christ! I’m currently working part-time at a gas station. I work three days a week till 2:00pm. I advise just letting me know 1 day ahead and I will immediately let you know my availability for that week. I’m always available after 2:00pm! Update pictures will be constantly sent varying on sitting time. I'd also go with taking them for walks IF the owner wants that, keeping them on a leash at ALL TIMES while outside. I value being on time with their feeding, and feeding ONLY as much as the owner says to feed, and keeping the water bowl clean and fresh. I know temptation is to over-feed to 'make up for the owner's absence' but this is not good for the dogs, costs the owner more money in the long run and can mean they are greeted with vomit on the best chair or rug which none of us want! If I am staying at the house with the pets, I make sure the house is clean and tidy for the owners to come home to. Not moving stuff, or leaving dirty dishes in the sink. If appropriate, I like to strip the bed I’ve slept in, and put the laundry in the washer. P.S don’t worry I’ll make sure that I’ve not used up all the milk, bread, eggs or biscuits! It’ll be no problems getting more if I have to. It would be my blessing to the owner for blessing me.

About: I am a first time dog mom but I have been around animals and cared for them my whole life since I was about 5. I currently work 10am-5:30pm at a daycare. I am available anytime after that time or before. I am also available any time on the weekends! I will put all of my attention in to following your pet’s normal routine and life style to prevent unneeded stress or discomfort or issues

JALEN C.
“Hii, I believe Jalen would make a great dog sitter and not just because he’s my friend. I have a cat who only likes to come to me and my mom, she never approaches anybody, let alone let them come to her. When Jalen came to my house my cat, peypey, walked up to Jalen and started rubbing against him. Now I do believe that the only reason she came up is because Jalen is a devoted man of faith in Christ, and animals sort of have a connection to people who are connected to God. Upon planning for a trip to the beach me and my family could not find anyone to watch our very aggressive,presa canario.Now my dog, Zaza, is your very stereotypical aggressively-mean dog, she likes nobody but my family. She tries to break out her cage when somebody comes in the yard. In knowing all this Jalen still offered to watch Zaza because he has God on his side, and isn’t scared of any job.”
