About: I have lived with three or more dogs all my life. I've taken care of family and friends' pets since I was 10. They have depended on me for for feeding, walking, and companionship. I have also done work in a dog grooming shop. My animals are family and I will treat your pets as family also. I'm currently a remote part-time student at the University of Georgia and, therefore, have a highly flexible schedule that gives you piece of mind while you are gone. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I provide loving, trustworthy care in the familiar surroundings of your home, ensuring a stress-free experience for both you and your pet. With a commitment to reliability and compassion, I create a safe and nurturing environment where your furry family members feel secure, happy, and well-cared for in your absence.

About: I've been blessed to be trusted to keeping pets and homes safe for many friends and family over the years. It's something I do not take lightly I have two part time jobs that is in same area. But your pet sitting/walking home sitting needs always will be the upmost priority for me. I'll make sure that whatever routines your pup is used too will not change whilst y'all are trusting me with your precious fur babies and castle

About: My experience consists of watching family and friends dogs and occasionally cats. I had a small yorkie with hip dysplasia and cushings that required meds frequently and I had a black lab mix that has also passed away, who was blind in one eye and deaf. I offer companionship and exercise for your pets when you're away. I can help with training, taking them for long walks, going to the restroom, administering medications, or just being an awesome petter for your puppy (because all dogs are puppies, no matter how old). I usually work the weekends from 8-4pm, but am usually up very early and can walk your dog as early as 5am if needed. During the week I can stop by and check or walk your pet in the morning or afternoon. Wed-Sun I can watch/walk them at night as well. When I walk my dogs, I prefer them to be in a harness for their comfort and safety. I make sure to watch the dogs closely, so if I see any signs of stress, I will promptly remove them from the situation. During the summer months especially, I will make sure to walk them early in the morning or in well shaded areas to make sure their paws are well protected from the hot pavement. I carry a dog water bottle with me on my walks, so they always have access to clean water if needed. When dog sitting, I take them out constantly, offer lots of playtime and stimulation while there, and always make sure the area is clean.

About: I have had animals my entire life, so 30+ years of experience. I know that your fur babies are apart of your family. You can count on me to make sure they feel at home. I currently work full-time. My partner has a very flexible schedule so your fur baby will have several opportunities throughout the day for potty breaks. I have a fenced in back yard. I have two extremely friendly medium sized dogs (both are spayed/neutered). I also have 2 playful cats that interact very well with the pups. All of our pets are inside only.

About: Alongside my utter most love for fur babies, I have been a dog groomer for 4 years, I have worked as a vet tech for 2 years, and I’ve even worked with horses for a little over a year! This being said there’s no task too much for me to handle! With my experience I take pride in my personalized care for each pet. Whether this be following a specific routine, catering to a pet’s dietary preferences, or offering extra comfort during stressful times. I treat pets like family, offering affection and attention while respecting their individual temperaments. I know some pets thrive on extra cuddles, while others might prefer space, and I always aim to provide that balance. I currently work part-time at Publix so this ensures I can provide consistent care for your pet. Every pet’s routine can be tailored to their needs, but having a consistent schedule makes it easier to manage and ensures their getting exactly what they need! One of the best parts of caring for pets in their own home is that it’s their familiar environment. I ensure that their daily routine stays the same, including feeding, exercise, and rest time. It helps reduce stress and anxiety that might happen from being in a new place. While caring for your pet, I also take responsibility to respect your home by treating it as my own. Such as keeping it clean, tidy, safe for both your pet and myself, locking doors, or picking up mail. Ultimately my goal is to create an stress-free, loving environment where your pet feels safe, happy, and satisfied!

“Our whole family absolutely loves Dan. He was extremely communicative and sent pictures and daily, which we loved having. He went above and beyond in caring for our dogs, as well as our house. He fielded unexpected deliveries and an insurance adjuster all without complaint or hesitation. He helped our Bassett through several thunderstorms by lying with her wherever she was most comfortable, whether that was the bathroom floor or his bed. He was extremely thoughtful and resourceful when our Border collie mix had stomach issues come up during his stay, and he helped us work through a plan to care for her. We would hire Dan again in a heartbeat and we recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter.”


“Mckenzie was the first sitter we ever had, and she was great! She took great care of our crew, and knowing she was there with them gave us a lot of peace while we were away. She connected with me daily, shared pictures of my pups, and asked questions if she needed more information, which I really appreciated! On the way home, we got a flat tire, and she was willing to be on standby to let our dogs out in case we were home too late. She also left us notes about the week, again, which I appreciated! Highly recommend and we would definitely use her again! Thanks Mckenzie!!”


“Jack was awesome with Cooper! He took very good care of him and I could tell that Cooper loved him and had a great time while we were away. We will definitely call Jack back the next time we need someone to watch over our boy.”

As a trusted dog trainer, sitter, walker, etc. She has at times worked side by side with our Certified Professional trainer. Our boy Bailey is an 85 # Lab Pit mix, Handful, to say the least. He LOVES her And cannot wait to see her. I would recommend Jayda as a truly sweet, gentle, genuine, trusted friend to us and to Bailey. She has even taught him some dance steps as well as general obedience, and believe it or not she has taught him different COLORS of toys. I cannot say enough great things about her❤️ Diane H.”
