“Our boy loves Summer - and so do we! Summer was right on time and communicated very well. She made us feel like our little guy was in great hands. We will use her again!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments—no pup too big or small! I’ve also walked cats, administered meds, brushed teeth, and provided loving care for seniors. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’m experienced and happy to help. My fenced yard offers safe outdoor time, and I treat every animal like family. I currently have full availability and offer flexible, reliable care for your pets! I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, walks, daycare, and more—even same-day appointments. I do have little ones at home, so we may step out briefly for park outings, but never for long. Your pet will still get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is dog/cat - friendly, with a securely fenced yard, located on a quiet, low-traffic street. I clean with pet-safe products to ensure a healthy environment. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect and care as I do my own. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in safe, loving hands.
About: I worked at a dog daycare during my four years of high school. Everything from daycare to boarding, to house visits for trusted clients. I worked along side two certified trainers and know a lot about dog behavior. I’m also comfortable with all shapes and sizes and ages. I’m very active too so if your dog likes to run I’d be more than happy to do so (I wouldn’t mind sitting around with a lazy dog all day too)! I’m more than happy to answer questions about my experience and I can’t wait to meet your pup! I’m currently a masters student at Augusta University so I have classes during the day Tuesdays and Thursdays but other than that, my schedule is pretty open. House sitting would work well for me since I could watch your furry friends and get some homework done. I feed off the pet’a energy so if they are energetic and playful, I’ll take them outside for a walk/ jog or fetch to wear them out. If they seem laid back or more of a lazier dog, I’ll take them out on a light stroll to potty periodically but then just give them pets and stay by their side most of the time. I also know behavioral cues and when a dog does not want my presence or if they’re welcoming.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since about the age of 11, when my neighbors would hire me to watch their dog when they would go away on vacations. As I got older my client list grew through word of mouth recommendations. I’ve worked in both veterinary clinics and animist shelters/rescue as a trained veterinary assistant. I am comfortable with giving medications and other medical issues. I love play time and going for walks! I am currently self employed so my schedule is flexible, however weekends I am away from morning to early-mid afternoon. My weekends open up in November. Weekdays I am able to change my schedule as needed to fit in any of your animal needs. I am not able to care for animals in my own home. I have a let of my own that does not like other pets in the home.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for a few animals on multiple occasions. I can sit for cats and dogs at the same time. I love playing with animals and treat them like my own. I work part time and have a very flexible schedule so I am able to accommodate most sittings. I would be able to set up a sitting even day of! I spend lots of time with the animals I take care of. I can walk them, bathe them, play with them, and more! I have a pup of my own who is very loved. I also can do small household tasks such as cleaning, taking out trash, and getting them mail.
“Bradley came on time, sent pictures and gave updates on our puppy! Will definitely book again!”
“Good communication and quick to respond! I didn’t have a chance to see her interact with my dog, but it seems like she did everything that was requested and was careful with him.”
About: With years of experience competing in dog shows, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior to every walk and sitting session.

About: I grew up with pugs and treated them like my kids — Bruce, Tobias, and Otto were my world. I’ve cared for senior dogs, playful puppies, and even dogs with special needs. Now living in the U.S. and missing my own pup back in Brazil, I’d love to share all my love and experience with your furry friend. I’ll treat your dog like family — with patience, affection, and lots of belly rubs! I recently moved from Brazil to support my husband’s new job, so I’m currently taking some time off from work. That means I have plenty of time — and love — to give your pup! I’m available in the mornings, afternoons, and early evenings, until the sun sets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life and have had my own dog for the past 4 years. I’ve also helped care for neighbors’ dogs—everything from daily walks to overnight care. I’ve looked after pets for over two weeks at a time with no problem and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a college student home for the summer with lots of free time to spend with your pets! I work part-time on weekends, but I’m mostly available throughout the week and very flexible with scheduling. I always follow any instructions closely, including feeding, walking routes, and routines. I make sure doors are secure, keep a close eye on pets during visits, and give them lots of attention and care so they feel safe and happy while you’re away.

“I love Maegan! She walks both of my dogs (Brookie and Ellie) Monday through Friday and does so good with them! I have a desk job so I wanted someone to come and exercise them for a solid half hour.

I make sure that their paws are clean before coming in the house and tidy up before I leave.
