“Carlie did everything that was expected of her and MORE!! She helped ease my nerves a little because I’m a nurse who works 12 hour shifts so being away from my new puppy is hard. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of friends and families dogs for a while now and want to expand to build new connections! I’m very flexible and willing to work with you to get the best care for your fur baby! I’m currently a college student working a part time job but I’m very flexible most afternoons and willing to spend the night anyday. Most days when I do work I’m off at 7 and I’m willing to go on walks anytime in the day. I’m simply willing to accommodate to owners however is needed. If I need to spend the night I will and if they need walks 4 times a day I’m very happy to do so. I want to provide the best experience possible!
About: I have taken care and trained my dog for the past 12 years, and have been around dogs my whole life. Would absolutely love to take care of your dog as well! I’m currently a full-time student at SCAD, but I have times between classes during the week days to take care of your pets, and the weekend to help out as well. I take great care of puppies and grown dogs with your careful instructions on what you would want me to do. Don’t mind taking them for walks around parks and areas that are near your home.
“This is our second time using Lorelei. She is so wonderful with our kitty. I also had a bit of a learning curve with rover and she was able to help me out. She is incredibly patient and great at communicating. We also forgot to leave Laney some treats and she went and got her some. I would highly recommend her.”
“Dawn was very helpful and went above and beyond in her visits. My dog absolutely adores her and we appreciate her so much! Have booked her several times and will definitely book again”
About: Hi! My name is Beki and I’ve been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always the one responsible for looking after the pets in our home, and it quickly became a regular part of my everyday life. I understand how much love and attention pets need, and I genuinely enjoy being around them. Whether it’s keeping to a specific routine, administering medications, going on long walks, or simply providing companionship, I’m committed to doing things exactly the way you request. I’m extremely responsible, detail-oriented, and always make sure both your home and your pets are well cared for. As a member of the military and having to be away from my pets, I know how important it is to have peace of mind while you’re away, knowing everything is in good hands so I prioritize that! I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets and home. Feel free to reach out so we can chat more about your needs! Pet care is something that naturally fits into my routine because I’ve been doing it for most of my life. Whether it’s feeding, walking, cleaning, or just spending time with animals, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for every day. I’m very organized with my schedule, so I can easily prioritize your pet’s needs—whether that means early morning feedings, afternoon walks, or evening playtime. I treat pet care as a serious responsibility, and I’m fully committed to giving your pets the attention, structure, and love they need while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it my priority to follow your routines as closely as possible so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I take time to understand each pet’s needs whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or favorite activities and stick to your instructions down to the smallest detail. I also make sure your home stays clean and secure while you’re away, handling things like mail collection, plant care, and tidying up after the pets. I know how important it is to maintain a calm, familiar environment for your pets while you’re gone, so I give them plenty of attention, affection, and one-on-one time. I’ll keep you updated with messages or photos so you know your pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for a little over a year now. I had repetitive clients who I sat for. I’ve had timid dogs, needy dogs, elderly dogs, and hyperactive dogs. I’ve even taken care of 12 inch koi fish! I love spending time with the dogs and caring for them, as well as getting to know their owners and ensuring that they have someone they trust with their pets. I am a student at UGA, so I am typically not available from 8 AM to 3 PM, but otherwise I am free. I am looking for a job, so my schedule could change. I won’t be able to keep them at my home since I have roommates. However, I am able to go to the dogs to care for them. In the past, I always went to my clients home (overnight or just the daytime), and can still do that.
About: I've had over 20 years of pet care experience, ranging between several different dog breeds and sizes, cats, rodents, reptiles, and even some bird-sitting. I understand each pet is different in their own way, some needing certain medications or volumes of food and water, and other pets are easier to take care of, but their owners need someone last minute to help watch and take care of their beloved pets. I also know when it comes to more than one pet in the household, some pets can get rowdy with each other and may tend to hurt one other, so I'm used to cleaning up after and treating the occasional bites or scratches they inflict. Having to give medications, give special food, and even seeing blood or recent wounds on animals doesn't stop me from providing the care they need while their owners are away at work or vacation or whatever else life has thrown their way. I've been known to be a reliable petsitter by many friends and family members over the years, and I make sure to follow all needs and specifications for each pet, regardless of their age and their size. At the moment, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and then on Mondays and Wednesdays I am attending a class from 9:30 AM to 12:30 AM, which anytime before or afterwards I can help walk or watch over pets. While I do not currently offer petsitting at my own home due to my roommates, I understand that every owner's household and every pet is different. I make sure that each of the doors and windows are closed and locked for the pet's safety, unless otherwise specified by the owners. If there are certain rooms or parts of the house off-limits to myself or the pets, I keep us away from those areas for the owner's privacy. And if the pets do tend to make a mess or I use any of the utilities of the home to help clean and take care of the pets, I make sure that everything is turned off and cleaned up afterwards so there are no messes for the owners when they return to their home and beloved pets.
“Tara was amazing with our boy! He seemed very happy! We will definitely use Tara again in the future. She walked him and loved on him. She was on time and very accommodating. Definitely recommend”
About: Hey! I am here in Richmond Hill, and excited to help walk your pets and visit with them. I will take good care of them as I know how important these precious little creatures are to our lives and our happiness! My experience has been with dogs and cats ever since I was a young girl. I have had at least one dog since being on my own and currently have a sweet baby dog named Penelope and a very mischievous little cat named Storm. They make my day and have my whole heart. currently I am working on my masters program so I have a good bit of time considering the classes are all online. I am looking for anyone who might need walks or visits on a consistent basis. Love a good routine— just like my doggo! I have three days of the week where the only thing I’m doing is school Thursday, Friday Saturday. The rest of the days might be less of a predictable schedule, but I am more than happy to get on a good schedule if you need service for the rest of those days. My classes are online so I am pretty flexible! I will keep your house, clean, pet safe, and treat it as if it is my own home, cleaning up spills and ensuring everything gets put back the way it was! I will use whatever pet toys or things you have available to help to make your pets comfortable and watch for their cues. I am always excited for written directions or instructions to ensure I do everything the way you like. And you can always text me if you think of anything!
“Danielle has taken care of my puppy at her house as well as on a drop-in visit this time. Took great care of my puppy as usual, sent some pics, great communicator! Highly recommended :)”
“I highly recommend Elizabeth ! She took excellent care of my cats and provided regular updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my pet’s comfort and happiness.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was around 15. I often took care 5 dogs for multiple days for family friends whenever they would go on vacation. I also have an elderly family dog who I love and often take care of for weekends. I'm currently working part time and have plenty of time to play and take care of your pet. I am also available for boarding on the weekend or if you need a in-house petsitter. I have a fenced in-yard with lots of room to play and run around. I also live in a quiet neighborhood on a cul-de-sac, perfect for going on walks.
About: I have taken care of my own animals for the past 10 years but also assisted my mom and her animals as well I love taking care of any animal I have plenty of time to handle all of your pet needs in clouding over nights as well as drop in visits I will always treat your cat or dog like the human it is! I have 2 cats at home that rely on safety everyday due to the fact one of my cats is 85% deaf and she needs extra care all the time
About: First off I am more than just a dog sitter..I am an animal lover and I have a lot of compassion for all dogs and animals ! Your dog/furbaby is going to think of me as a best friend before the day is over. I will be available at least 3 times a day to walk, feed, groom, play, and whatever else it is you and your dog need ! I have not only owned my own furbabies, but I have also helped take care of other people’s pets for at least 17 years now. I love all animals and can help take care of your pets even if it is more than just a dog..I also love and take care of cats, rabbits, birds, hamsters, fish, and more ! I work from home and only leave to drop-in on my other fur baby clients. So I am never gone any longer than 30 minutes a day. I have a fenced in yard, so all fur babies in my care get to roam free and I also take them on walks around my neighborhood for exercise. Not to mention the one on one attention they receive and endless love and cuddles! I make homemade dog treats too. Sweet potato, blueberries, and all!
“Marci is the BEST dog walker. She cares for our dogs thoughtfully and always gives us the best updates, so when we are missing our dog family we get a little dose of home. We asked Marci to watch over our dogs for nearly a week and they did great. We feel very lucky to have found someone so excellent with animals”

Elizabeth has taken care of our Golden Tucker for the past several months, and we couldn't be happier! Recently, I had to travel out of state and leave Tucker for the first time. There had been an issue where the gate wouldn't open to let her in the neighborhood. Elizabeth immediately called me and even waited around the area until the matter was resolved. It was a great comfort to know Tucker was being left with such a caring person. My mother also wanted to share a comment, and it is in the form of a letter to Elizabeth: "Thank you for taking such great care of Tucker! You always arrive with a smile, and I know that Tucker will have a great walk. Also, we know that he is safe with you, and will have fun. Thanks for helping us keep Tucker healthy, and helping us when we went out of state."
Gabrielle was great, I wish I could give more stars! It was last minute as we couldn't take our Dior on our trip, so I was really worried as we had never left her with anyone before. But Gabrielle put our minds at ease while on vacation. She also kept great communication with us!! I would definitely be booking with her again!!
Attentive and fun-loving (which is crucial for Indy)! Went above and beyond even offering to take care of some of the plants in my home. Apparently she has a green thumb with her whopping 150 plants at home. Definitely highly recommend her, especially considering this was a last-minute booking. Thanks Danielle!
Katie was amazing and handled our pups with great care and attention. She was awesome and our dogs really liked her from day one. Our pets are very picky about who they warm-up to but they took to her since day one. Our pickiest pup Thor was by her side like they were old friends. She even did very well with our rescue dog Macy. We will highly recommend her to other people and use her services again in the future.
