About: I grew up on a farm with a multitude of different animals, among which was no less then 4 dogs at a time. I currently have two dogs right now living in Rome GA. Can walk pets in mornings or afternoons or during breaks in work during the middle of the day. Schedule may vary but should be pretty constant in a few weeks. I have a fenced in backyard and a gated townhouse with two dogs to keep the other company will most likely go to walk individual dogs though

About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life and have experience with dogs of all sizes! I have worked at a kennel for three years so I also have experience with senior dogs and puppies! I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to take care of peoples fur babies! I have a very flexible schedule and am willing to work anything into my schedule!

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for several years now. Many friends, family members, and neighbors have relied on me to tend to their fur babies while out of town or just for an afternoon walk/cuddle. I am very caring and would love the opportunity to give your furry bestie all the love and care we both know they deserve while your are away or otherwise unavailable to do so. I also have a bit of experience training dogs, through teaching my own dog, Suzie, a few neat tricks. I would love to get to know your furry friend! Please consider me to provide the best caring experience for your pet as possible! ***I also have experience caring for farm animals. I grew up helping take care of all sorts of animals on my grandparents' farm. I have experience with chickens, goats, cows, ducks, and rabbits. ***On top of farm animals, I also have experience with other types of animals such as fish, guinea pigs, turtles, and bearded dragons. I am adaptable, and I am willing to help take care of other types of animals you may have as well. I work in a school Monday through Friday from 7:15-3:30pm. Mainly, I accept stays that are during the week (M-F). I am often out of town on weekends. I always do my very best to provide my furry clients with as much love, care, and attention as possible during my time with them. We can play, go on walks, or just hang out and cuddle. I understand the importance of your pet's routine as well as the role I play for your pet while you are away- a stand in bestie if you will. During my time with your pet, I can ensure that they will be loved and taken care of. Your furry friends will be in caring, capable, and experienced hands while we are together.

“Monica is amazing. I felt completely comfortable while I was gone because I knew my pet was being taken care of. I felt very connected with check-in notifications and visit report cards. Monica is very responsive and made the process so simple and easy. Highly recommend.”


About: Hi! My name is Kierstyn. I'm an experienced vet tech with knowledge of how to handle healthy pets, medically complex pets that require medications, and emergencies if they were to happen. From my work experience I know that some pets do much better in their own home rather than in a boarding facility or having to be watched at someone else's home and I would love to be able to allow the pet for feel more safe and comfortable by allowing them to stay in their own home. I currently work full time. If you prefer for me to stay in your home then I'll let your pet out/walk/ check on them and feed them in the mornings and in the evenings. I am typically able to check on them during the middle of the day and let them out/ walk them then too however sometimes work does not allow this. If I do drop ins I will do them early in the morning, before 7:30, if possible then I will check on them between 11:30am and 1:30pm, between 5:30 and 7:30 pm, and between 8:30-10pm if requested. All care would be provided at your home. This is because I feel like most pets are most comfortable in their own space. I will ask for detailed instructions on how you'd like your pet to be let out/ walked and specific feeding/ medicating instructions. I will be happy to stay in your home or just do drop ins throughout the day, whichever you prefer.

“She was reliable and was not rushed in her visits to check on pets. Good communication to what was going on and sent pictures every time she visited. She was a trooper No fault of Nicole-Our elderly dog took a turn for the worse so she had to clean up some messes. We will consider her again if we need help in the future. I would recommend her.”


About: Growing up, we always had animals in the house- cats and dogs and I would help care for them. My dog was sick and I would stay up with him and take care of him and make sure he was well cared for. I also volunteered at the local animal shelter as I was growing up. This past year my roommate had 2 puppies that I helped take care of and helped to train. I also have house and pet sit for people in my church and really enjoyed getting to do that service for them. In college, I was a pre-vet major and I love taking care of and spending time with animals! I would love the opportunity to care for and give your animals the additional attention and love they need:) I also have 2 cats and love them so much- hope to get a dog soon! I have full availability and am able to walk your pet, stay in your home, and anything and everything in between. I have full availability and love to walk animals, play with them, etc. I am extremely flexible and work at home at the moment and love to be active with pets! I have 2 indoor cats at home and they have 2 water fountains, a regularly cleaned litter box, a cat tower and all the love and toys they could have! I would care for any pets as if they were my own!

During the school year my availability will change some and I will update my profile to reflect this. I will be sure to follow the guidelines and instructions you provide for your pet. I know care can be very specific an I am a detail oriented person that will be sure to follow the care routine you prefer.

“Madison’s experience at the vet gives our family such confidence that we can leave our dog in the best of hands. Her knowledge on how to handle “skiddish” dogs was perfect for our animal. She’s always on time and dependable. Boba loves her and that’s the most important thing to us. I would 100% recommend her to watch any type of animal you have.”


“Wonderful thoughtful people! I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Justin & Christina sat with my dog twice a day for 2 and a half weeks while I traveled for medical care. My dog loved them and was very comfortable while I was gone. I can absolutely recommend them and will call them again. ??”

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.

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.
