About: I've been a pet owner my entire life and pet sat for friends and family since I was around 12 years old. In the last few years, I've also become something of a pet expert through my freelance writing. That same experience means that my schedule is very flexible and I can easily work while hanging out with your pets in your home. I have first-hand experience with reactive dogs through my own dog, Ginger. I've also cared for special needs dogs in the past, and have a special needs cat, Pepper, of my own. I'm a freelancer that sets my own hours, so I can work in pet care at any time. I can even stay full-time at your home the entire time you're away. I prefer to care for pets in clients' homes. I find that most animals are more comfortable in their own environment anyway, plus there's no concern for how well they'll get along with my own pets.

About: I have grown up with pets my whole life. I’ve had Rottweiler, cane corso, and English Mastiff. I currently own a husky and pitbull. I’ve also had cats. I would rather get paid to play your animals all day than have to do another day of customer service. I currently work nights 4 days a week so I have plenty of time to help fit your needs! I love animals so much! It’s fits in my life because I have two dogs myself so it’s nothing new to me. I have my own apartment and a balcony and plenty of space for your baby to run around. I take my dogs on walks 5+ a day so I’m used to it! I can’t wait!

About: Family, friends and neighbors have relied on me to care for their furry loved ones when they need help. I care for them as if they were my own. I work from home so your dogs will have constant company and potty breaks. I love the idea of helping others pet owners when need. I have a fence in yard that backs up to a pond. Very quiet and peaceful. All boarded dogs will come to my home, I will come to your home and walk your dog, if requested, play fetch, give attention, and gentle love to them in your place which services you request. Feed them if needed.

About: Hello! My name is Katie and I have many years of pet care, boarding and sitting experience. We live on 5 acres in Metter with lots of puppy love to go around! My children love to help walk and take care of all pet needs with me. My experience with dogs ranges from small breeds such as mini schnauzers, Brussels Griffons and chihuahuas to large breeds such as GSD, Great Danes, Mastifs and Rotties. We love all breeds and welcome any friendly pooch into our home where they will be loved as our own. I allow the pups to play and relax as they like and sleep wherever they’re most comfortable. I am a stay at home mom so I am pretty much at home more than anywhere else taking care of our pets and kiddos. We live on 5 acres with a pond and lots of room to roam! Your pets will be treated to supervised outside play in our fenced in dog run where they can play and burn off all of their pent up energy. Pets are always supervised when outside and never allowed to roam freely without either my husband or myself outdoors with them. All pets are allowed to sleep wherever they find their most comfy spot or can be crated if that is your preference. We do not generally crate unless it is necessary for safety or if that is what your pet is used to at home. I do my absolute best to make sure I follow the same rules you have for your dogs in your own home while they are staying with us.

I have been dog sitting since I was around 10, I am well versed in all types of dogs including breed, temperament, and signal's dogs use. I have taken care of senior and special need dogs, including a beautiful Mastif named Matilda. I am well versed in giving medications/shots to dogs as well as how to help them stand, get up, lay down, and use the restroom while not being able to do so fully by themselves. If I am unfamiliar with how to do something I will be upfront and honest with you and either have you show me how to do said task, or do research!

I know it can be scary leaving your dog and I want to help you and your pup feel comfortable! If you dog is aggressive I would be more than will to watch them! Aggressive dogs are not bad dogs, they are scared. I have owned an aggressive dog myself, as well as worked with quite a few.

Your home will always be treated with respect and left better than I found it. The dogs needs are extremely important even if it is a ball stuck under the couch! I will listen to what your dog need from you and your dog, I will treat your animal with respect and the upmost care.

“Hannah was such a huge lifesaver in my situation. She was super responsive and friendly. She went above and beyond to make sure she was there for my dog when I couldn't be. I never want another dog walker aside from her, honestly. Very trustworthy and my dog loved her.”

About: I am a very caring and responsible person who has always grown up around all kinds of animals and breeds! I have experience babysitting, lifeguarding, and I even worked in a senior living center with a CNA license. I am very excited to help take care of your big or little furbabies! I am currently in school at Georgia Southern University so I am available most nights, lunch times, and weekends for all different kinds of care! I have no pets in my apartment so there will not be an issue with animals crossing. I have my own room and a facility to walk the dogs around on leash when they need to use the bathroom. I could also take the dogs to local dog parks if that is prefered!

About: I take great care of my own animals and love dogs and cats myself. I am very responsible for my own animals and will be for yours. I’m in school as georgia southern and currently a sophomore.

I have my own puppy as well.

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: Provided attentive, compassionate care for dogs of various breeds, ages, and temperaments in clients' homes. Responsibilities included feeding, walking, administering medication, and ensuring pets’ emotional well being while owners were away.

I can easily walk your dog as far or short as needed. I can run and play with them if needed or just let them out and give them lots of love!

About: I have been relied on to take care of many neighbors pets over the years. Ever since I was about 10 years old my neighbors have trusted me to take care of the animals while they are on vacations. I have dance practice on Mondays and Wednesday from 3-8, but besides those times, and competition weekends, I will be free to take care of your animals! I always make all of the cats and/or dogs feel as loved as possible. I will walk dogs and clean out litter boxes if I am asked to. I always take time to play with the animals and I love taking dogs for walks.

About: What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is my comprehensive understanding of diverse pet needs, coupled with a genuine passion for their well-being that extends beyond basic care. Many sitters offer walks and feedings, but my approach is deeply rooted in providing specialized, individualized care that addresses both their physical and mental health. For instance, my experience with puppy care goes beyond house-training; I'm adept at positive reinforcement techniques, early socialization, and laying the groundwork for basic obedience, helping them develop into well-adjusted adults. When it comes to senior care, I understand the unique challenges that come with aging pets – from administering multiple medications on strict schedules, to recognizing subtle signs of discomfort, to providing gentle, supportive mobility assistance for those with arthritis or limited movement. I'm also highly experienced with pets with special medical needs, including administering injections, managing dietary restrictions for allergies or illnesses, and closely monitoring for any changes in their condition. My background as an avid cleaner means your home will be just as tidy as you left it, and my extensive supply of extra blankets, toys, food, and treats ensures I'm always prepared for any unexpected need or simply to offer a little extra comfort and fun. Ultimately, it's my proactive, attentive, and deeply compassionate approach to every pet's unique personality and requirements that provides true peace of mind for their owners. Even with a packed schedule of classes and a part-time job, incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine is a non-negotiable part of my life. It's a constant balancing act, starting with early morning walks and feedings before I head to campus or work. Throughout the day, I'm always mindful of their needs, whether it's a quick pit stop home between lectures for a potty break or making sure they have enough food and fresh water. Evenings are dedicated to quality time – longer walks, playtime, and settling down together while I tackle homework. Weekends are when I can truly spoil them with extended adventures to the park or extra-long cuddle sessions. It takes planning and effort, but the joy and companionship my pets bring into my life make every moment of that routine completely worthwhile. When pets stay with me, my focus is always on providing a safe, trustworthy, and enriching environment that feels like a second home. I go beyond the basics, conducting thorough safety checks to eliminate hazards, maintaining a pristine and pet-friendly clean home, and being fully prepared for any emergencies with a well-stocked pet first-aid kit. Building trust is key, so I strictly follow their established routines for feeding and medication, and keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages, ensuring peace of mind. Beyond safety and trust, I create an enriching environment filled with daily walks tailored to their energy, engaging playtime with a variety of toys, and mental stimulation through puzzle games or new experiences. I always have a supply of extra blankets, food, and treats on hand, and I'm meticulous about their grooming and any necessary medical care. Ultimately, my aim is to make their stay as comfortable, happy, and stimulating as possible, treating them with the same love and attention they receive from their own families.
