About: I’ve worked at the rescue in my hometown for a few years now, I’ve worked in 2 different grooming salons, and have also been involved with some vets. Working at a rescue and a grooming salon gives you so much experience to learn more about each breed and each dog. You get to learn everything about each sweetheart so we’ll over time that you also start to love them like they’re you’re own. I had to deal with almost every experience when it comes to pets as well. I love dogs so very much they have such a soft place in my heart and it’s always great to get to learn about their owners as well when they’re steady customers! Boarding and grooming is something I do full time on my own, I’m home all the time unless I need to run and errand or two. Your pets will get lots and lots of attention their whole stay! We live where there is a fenced in property, 2 large dogs who are very pet friendly. We take up lots of time with pets staying with us to make them feel as comfortable as possible and just because we absolutely love all fur babies!
“Amber was so awesome! She was able to help us out last minute with my dad's dogs when he went into the hospital. She made it so convenient for us with picking up the key and even grabbed some food because it was low. She was great with the dogs and we will definitely use her again in the future! Thanks Amber!”
“I wish I could give Kirsten 100 stars - she’s wonderful! I am a new cat momma to a rescue and was very anxious to leave. She met me and my fur baby at the house, listening to all my nervous ranting and put me at ease. She sent frequent photos as well as thoughtful messages and updates. I will definitely continue to use her and feel so much better about going out of town.”

About: Hey my name is Jess, I used to be a kennel tech where taking care of animals is my number one priority. I hope to one day become a dog trainer and open my own dog training business as I have fell in love with training my own pup, Chief. I am really good with any breed of dog or cat and I will make sure they are loved and cared for to my upmost ability. Pet care is my number one priority so whenever I’m needed I’ll do my very best to be there. I’m currently doing this as my sole job so I’m mainly always free. I always make sure your dog gets plenty of potty breaks and exercise along with a lot of attention to make sure your dog stays happy. I then will make sure that if the animal, dog or cat gets the meds it needs if taking any, and gets fed to your standards. I love training so if you ever needed any help I would be up for the task. As for cats I have no problems with messes in general so a litter box is no big deal and I will make sure your cat gets lots of love. In general I love all animals and I will make sure you and the animal is satisfied and happy.

“Colby was amazing. He did really well with my excitable dog and aloof cat. He didn’t get to meet the cat when he came for a meet and greet but still managed to make friends with her, and that is impressive. My dog is epileptic and there is a medicine schedule but Colby handled it with ease. This was my first time using Rover and I am thrilled with it. I was so glad to find someone I could trust on short notice to take care of our pets. We were camping and away from cell service most of the time but I need not have worried about anything. Colby had it handled. I sure hope he will continue to watch our pets in the future.”
About: I've owned & taken care of animals from all walks of life. I currently have a 16 year old Blue Heeler, Calvin, & my newest best friend, a 6 month old Dalmatian puppy, Ivy. I also have 2 five year old cats, Escargot & Fugu. I'm experienced in fostering and rescue and I've raised several animals from puppies and kittens, but I have an extra soft spot for seniors. Ivy has been trained by Serenity k9 here in Macon and I am very well versed in prong collar & E-Collar training. I'm super active (walking/running a minimum of 2 miles a day), have a Subaru for transportation, and both of my dogs are trained and friendly. I work full time, but I work 4 days on, 3 days off. I go for regular walks and can work out a schedule for mid -day potty breaks if necessary on a working day. I prefer in-home visits for your animals. I can come up to 3 times a day (more if needed), go on regular, short or long walks, and spend plenty of time with your animals. I believe in scooping litter boxes EVERY day. I have a Dalmatian puppy that enjoys all other animals if your dog would like company on an outing. I can administer medication orally, topically, or through injections. I'm well versed in senior and puppy care and capable of lifting 50+ lbs. My dogs are professionally trained by a certified trainer and I know how to use most types of collars (E-Collar, prong, etc) properly. I can bathe your dog or deliver them to a groomer of your choice. I have my own car & extra crates and carriers if necessary. For boarding, I have a fenced in yard & 2 dogs of my own, both fully trained, vaccinated, & friendly with other trained dogs. I have secluded rooms (with sound machines & a/c) for crating dogs while at work.
“Shari was amazing with my fur babies! I could tell she took her time and showed them love and attention! All the pictures she sent looks like they were happy and pleased with Mrs. Shari!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for years, both my own and for friends and family. I have an 8-year-old toy poodle named Zoey, so I understand the attention, patience, and love pets need daily. I’m often the go to person people trust to watch their small dogs or check in on their pets, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I care for my toy poodle, Zoey, every day making sure she’s fed, exercised, and getting plenty of attention. Because of that, I’m used to structuring my day around a pet’s needs. I also regularly help friends and family with their pets, so fitting in walks, check-ins, or sitting visits throughout the week feels very natural to me I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved whether they’re in my home or their own. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their pet’s normal routine feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions so everything feels familiar and stress free. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet friendly environment with plenty of attention and supervision. I’m very attentive to each pet’s personality, whether they’re energetic and playful or more relaxed and need space.
“Brenda was awesome! She made me feel so comfortable being away from Rocket. She genuinely loves animals and cares very much about how she takes care of them. She makes sure she understands what your pets need and how you would like her to care for them. She has great communication and is a pleasure to work with. Brenda will be my go to sitter for Rocket and I highly recommend her to anyone else.”
