“Charlotte was absolutely amazing. I was booking a last minute house sitting for my pup. She came and picked him up, dropped him back off, made sure his food and water bowls were full, took him on a ton of fun walks, let him sunbathe and sent pictures of him during my absence. Crimson seemed to enjoy his time with her. Charlotte was very professional and prompt, had great communication skills and showed up with a loving demeanor for Crimson. Will definitely be using Charlotte in the future! Thank you Charlotte!!!”

“We LOVED Kierstyn! She was absolutely fabulous with our 2 bichon frises. We were traveling from out of town for a wedding and liked that she was a vet tech. As soon as she met our babies she quickly assessed their personalities and befriended them. Our older one takes a while to warm up to people but instantly fell in love with her. Our baby is only 5 months and she gave us great insight into his development because of her background and experience. When we come back to Georgia we will definitely use Kierstyn again. Thank you Kierstyn for taking care of our babies!!!”
About: I grew up around dogs. I got my first dog when I was born, and we grew up together. Dog sitting over the years has been a wonderful and enriching experience for me. Spending time with different breeds, each with their own unique personalities, has taught me a lot about canine behavior and care. i’m currently an active student athlete in college. But whenever I’m home, I’m spending my days with my four dogs. If you see my calendar open, please go ahead and book me and please let me to spend my days with your dog animals. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. We have a big back yard and front yard. many dog crates + Dog bowls. We have a trail to walk the dogs on so they can get exercise.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for 30 years. I am an intuitive, attentive caregiver for pets and people alike. I know that your pet's physical and mental well-being are equally important and recognize that sometimes we just need a little extra. Sometimes it's a walk, sometimes it's a belly rub. Whatever it is I love to figure out and help those in my care feel as comfortable and secure as possible. I am a stay at home, homeschooling mom of three older children with a flexible schedule. I can easily accommodate a pet's needs into my day-to-day routine. I have a fenced back yard with lots of shade and a deck. Dogs are welcome inside. I have three indoor/outdoor cats. As long as your pup won't try to eat them, we'll be fine ;) I regularly walk every day and can walk or run your pup as needed!
“Rachel was not only attentive to my cat and followed care instructions but she went out of her way to ensure the cleanliness of my home while I was away. She took phenomenal care of my elderly cat and I would re-book with her in the future.”
“Nancy was so great and communicative! My dogs loved her from the moment they met her. I got daily pictures, they went on walks, and they got so many pets and cuddles! Nancy gave us such peace of mind - we can’t wait for her next visit!”
About: I've had the pleasure of having pets my entire life, and this journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of animal behavior and diverse special skills. As a child, my family had a dog, turtle, several guinea pigs, and a fish tank. Now, as an adult living on my own, I have two sweet kitties. However, caring for others' pets brings me just as much joy! I've been pet sitting since I could drive and have had the honor of taking care of just about every type of pet you can imagine, including those with special needs, administering medications, and providing top-notch love and attention. My job is very flexible, as I work mostly from home, therefore, I can easily adjust my availability to cater to your pet's needs and provide the care they deserve. When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize their well-being and comfort. I follow the specific instructions provided by the owner, ensuring that I maintain their regular feeding, exercise, and medication schedules. I spend quality time with the pets, providing companionship and playtime. Additionally, I make sure the environment is clean and safe, and I'm attentive to any special requirements or preferences the pets may have. Furthermore, I believe that communication with the owner is crucial, so I like to keep them updated on their pet's well-being during my visits.
About: Save 33% on all dog walk bookings through to September 2nd 2025.* Hi, I’m Martin! I’ve been a devoted dog parent for over six years, raising and caring for my own four dogs from puppyhood. Living with them every day has taught me patience, consistency, and how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe and understood. Whether your dog is shy, excitable, or somewhere in between, I adjust to their pace and keep walks calm, positive, and stress‑free. You can always count on me to treat your dog like my own — with kindness, reliability, and plenty of care. I’ll keep you updated with notes and photos so you know your pet is happy and safe with me. *$15 per walk at normal rates, $10 per walk with discount. The full rate of $15 per walk will resume on September 3rd 2025 I’m available for sitting and walks every day, and I can be flexible with scheduling. That said, I always prioritize your pet’s health, so I pause walks during severe weather alerts or extreme temperatures. I’ll work with you to reschedule or offer alternatives like quick potty breaks if needed. As a sitter and dog walker safety is my top priority. I keep dogs leashed at all times, avoid high-traffic or stressful areas, and adjust the pace for their comfort. I always double-check harnesses and carry water and waste bags. Trust matters — I send updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and safe. For every sitting job I will follow any instructions that you give to the best of my ability, and I will give you regular updates and photographs if desired. Your pets will receive the best care and attention during my time with your pets
