“Logan was great with my pup Boogie! He can take a bit to warm up to people, but Logan made herself available for additional “Meet and Greets” prior to the booking so that Boogie could get used to her. Very attentive and Boogie was in great hands with her!”
“Madeline was exactly the right person to take care of our pups! I am SO HAPPY my friend's advice to use Rover brought Madeline to our home. I had ZERO worries about the dogs while we were busy with our daughter's wedding events. We have a 6yr old "Forever Puppy" and a 12 yr old elder dog and they both had their individual needs met, they loved Madeline!”
“Cassandra has been amazing with Murphy the last 2 weeks. She's been such a huge help dropping in and letting him out/getting him some exercise while I work long shifts. She's really attentive and caring. Would definitely recommend to take care of your fur babies!”
“Shelby was amazing! Last minute she agreed to step in and help take care of my dog while I was away. She is on time, checks in, and is very thorough. She communicates everything and will give you many pictures. She truly cares for your animals as if they were her own. With all of this I had the piece of mind knowing my dog was safe and being taken care of properly 10/10 recommend her for your pets.”
“Super communicative and so easy to work with! Went above and beyond for my old lady baby. As long as he’s available, Cameron is the only one I’d book for future visits.”
About: I'm a dog and cat mom and understand that pets are family. I’ll send pictures from our visits, playtimes, and walks so that you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I'm available for drop-in visits and walks 7 days a week. So whether you are out of town or having a long day at work you can count on me to take care of your furry friend. Please note, I do not accept drop-ins past 7pm for new clients. I will consider later visits for return clients. I treat your pets like my own. In addition to providing loving company and playtime, I'll ensure they are safe, fed, and have plenty of fresh water. I'll make sure their environment is clean and well maintained. Plus, I'll send pictures and updates from each visit.
“Eli is so wonderful with our shy/fearful girl. He has a very calm presence and Marsi warmed up to him right away. He is so kind and easy to coordinate with and he shares updates with pictures from his visits!”
About: I’ve had pets (mostly dogs) my whole life. I’ve also cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule and feel it would be a win-win to incorporate some interaction and movement into my days while caring for someone’s pet. I work remote so weekdays are very flexible. Early mornings and lunch time would be most available. Ideally would be caring for pets in/around the Daffin park area. I have 2 indoor cats, so I am not able to have other pets stay at my home. I am happy to take care of other pets in the client’s home.
“Morgan was fantastic! She was incredibly sweet and loving with my babies. Her attention to detail during drop-in visits was impressive—she kept me updated with thoughtful messages and sent the cutest photos! I highly recommend her as a sitter and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!😊”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. With 15+ years of experience caring for large dogs, as well as fostering cats and dogs, I am comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I've helped care for newborn kittens, supported animals through surgical recovery, and worked with pets who need extra patience and attention. As a graduate student in Applied Behavior Analysis, I enjoy incorporating gentle, positive reinforcement strategies to support training and good behavior when requested. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they're in capable hands. I’m currently working towards my masters in applied behavior analysis at GSU. I will be on campus about 3 times a week, and I only have class a few hours a day, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to meet yours & your pets needs. I do not currently have any pets in my home, which allows me to provide a calm environment and focus my attention entirely on your pet. If your pet stays in my home, I am happy to maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, potty breaks, medications, bedtime routines, and any training practices you would like continued. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to keep their routine consistent and provide plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and affection. I believe pets are most comfortable when their daily schedule remains familiar, so I work closely with owners to understand their pet's specific needs and preferences. Regular updates and photos are always provided so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for
About: I have had dogs basically my entire life, and in the last few years have begun adopting senior dogs. I love dogs of all ages and size. I am a very active person and love to take dogs on walks and to the park (which is hard to do with my seniors!). My current senior has to take medication every day twice a day. He also gets at least 2 small walks a day. There are also another cat and dog in the house that I frequently care for. I love animals and am happy to spend my time caring for as many as I can. Currently, I can only take in 1 small dog at a time, as my home is small and the animals here already take up the space. I am comfortable around both cats and dogs and will follow any advice/guidelines a person has set for their own pet(s) in their home.
“Amber is very nice and took great care of our Guinness while we were away for the weekend! She has great communication, made sure he got lots of pets, and sent us lots of pictures!”
“Sara was a true rock star when she took care of our corgis while we traveled. Sara was always on time, she gave detailed descriptions of her time at our house with our dogs. We will happily schedule Sara for more care with our fur babies while we travel. 5 stars!”
About: PLEASE READ TO THE VERY END: I have so much love and care to give to your loved ones. Your pet will feel very comfortable in my home and in my care. I have a large fenced-in backyard. I don't have any dogs of my own - so if you have a dog(s) that don't get along with others - they will fit perfectly at my home. Note: I do have a full-time job but I work close to home so it is easy for me to check in during the day. Flea treatment is a must for all dogs. Thank you! (FYI - if you crate your dog I do have one at my home that you can use and I have plenty of bowls and toys!!) I do work full-time - Monday thru Friday - however, I am only 3 miles from my house so running home during the day is no problem. I have a fenced-in yard - and if dogs are required to be crated while I am not home I do have two different size crates - I also have baby gates if need to separate dogs - mostly at feeding time.
About: I grew up in a family with 6 or more animals all the time. Life would be so boring without animals! I also grew up on a farm with horses, donkeys, and chickens. I love all animals and would love to meet yours! I work a 9-5 but I make sure to dedicate lots of time for my animals (and yours!) I’m flexible with my time as well. I live right next to Forsyth park and a square downtown. I have lots of areas to let yours and my animals roam and get some outside time!
“Emma was so sweet and communicative! I was worried about leaving my cats alone for the holidays but she took such good care of them and sent me the cutest photos. 10/10 thank you so much!!”
“Amy was terrific with our cat Pesto, great pics which were sent everyday, was communicative, Pesto seemed relaxed especially during his grooming sessions. Would certainly use her services in the future.”

Sage was wonderful! I think one of my cats became best friends with her with how much she got to play and exercise with Sage! She takes amazing photos, communicates well and was very engaging with all the kitties. She made it as easy as possible to be away from the fur babies!
Katherine was so great! She was very attentive to every detail of the instructions that I left, and was extremely thorough. Very pleasant to communicate with, and is very knowledgeable about all sorts of animals. I felt very comfortable having her take care of our animals while we were away. Thanks again!
Elli took such wonderful care of our cats while we were away for the holidays, and we couldn’t be more grateful. He was incredibly communicative and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind while traveling. One of our cats has special medical needs, and Elli was so attentive and thoughtful in caring for her. If he noticed anything that could be a concern or had a question, he reached out right away, which truly showed how much he cared about their well-being. He was also very accommodating with a few last-minute changes, always responsive, flexible, and kind throughout the entire process. Coming home to a clean and tidy house was fab! It’s clear Elli genuinely cares for the pets he watches, and we felt our cats were in loving, capable hands the whole time. We would absolutely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter!
Amberly took good care of our cat, fish, and like, thirty plants. She also alerted me to suspicious activity at the house though thankfully it turned out to be cat mischief and the lawn guys leaving gates open. She is respectful and easy to work with!
Paige was a pleasure to work with. She arrived at the scheduled time for drop-in visits (even though we were flexible about this) and sent cute photos of our cats. She was also very accommodating about the needs of our quite elderly cat (incontinence). Will definitely book with Paige again.
