“Brooke went above and beyond in every respect from the moment we contacted her. Her communication was excellent, she came out for a house visit to meet the dogs to ease our concerns of having someone stay at our home and watch our young dogs (this was the first time we were leaving them with someone). She listened to every single instruction with incredible attention to detail, she communicated with us with pictures regularly to ease our anxiety while we were gone, she clearly cared for our dogs, gave them tons of love and attention, and her experience with animals and background in dog training was evident. She had the perfect blend of firm boundary setting with our rowdy boys while being loving with only positive reinforcement. We came home to a spotless house, she washed dog dishes she didn’t have to wash, and we couldn’t have been more impressed. We can’t recommend her enough and it’s a relief to find someone so trustworthy to watch our dogs again when we leave town.”
“Raven was lovely and honestly could not have been better at giving updates. This was my first time boarding in over 7 years so I was nervous, but she made it seamless and communication was on point. Thanks so much!”
“Akia took excellent care of our border collie! She sent us lots of great photos & gave us updates often! We could tell that she gave him lots of attention! Thanks so much for being someone we can trust to care for our 'baby'!”
“Kristine watched our pups in our home for 2 nights. It was our first time leaving our dogs alone with someone so I was a little nervous. Kristine came to our home for a meet and greet and I immediately felt at ease. The dogs took to her right of way and I felt all my worries fade away. She is genuine, compassionate, competent and attentive. She stayed in touch with me and sent pictures of my pups and I was able to enjoy our little getaway! I feel confident now to book longer trips that are farther away with my home and pups in Kristine’s care!”
“I wish I could give her 20 stars. We have a dog who doesn’t do well with new people entering the house. She was extremely patient with her and by the next day when we returned she was cuddled up next to her. She also give you so many photo and video updates so you feel like you’re there with them.”
“Caitlynn has dog and house-sat for us before. Our pets love her, and we always trust her to take good care of them. She leaves the house nice and tidy, you wouldn’t know anyone had stayed there! We will continue to ask Caitlynn to sit for us, for an overnight visit, or longer trips.”
“I can highly recommend Melanie to watch your pups! We were in town to see the Christmas lights and didn't feel comfortable leaving the pups in the Airbnb alone for an extended period of time. Contacted Melanie and she was available that evening. She showed up exactly when she said and the dogs were all over her once she got in the house. You know what they say about dogs, they can sense a good person and she was. If you in town and need a sitter, she is the one to get!”
“Mallory was awesome! The dogs loved her! I think they were sad to see me come back home instead of her! I will definitely book Mallory and Aaron again if the opportunity arises, as should anyone wondering who to use!”
About: I’ve taken care of sweet dogs, fearful dogs, young dogs, old dogs, sick dogs, high energy and couch potato dogs. All dogs like me and I like them. We snuggle on the couch, play and take naps. I don’t take large dogs anymore unless they are seniors. I’m retired and I live a quiet life. I love all animals and enjoy their company. Pet sitting is not a chore for me - it’s a joy. I’m home most of the day so your pet won’t be lonely. Your dogs are royalty at my house. Don’t expect discipline. They play, nap, get snacks (according to what you bring) watch TV, go on leash for potty breaks. If they need a schedule for meals or meds- no problem. What they get from me is ATTENTION.
About: I have taken care of my own dog since he was a puppy. I potty trained and crate trained him and was his primary care taker before I moved to college. I have very open availability during the day and available at nights for overnight or late night sitting. I love dogs, being outside, and being a care taker. I do have another job where I work Monday-Thursday 4-9. Although I am completely free during the weekends and during the day. I take care of my dog everyday by walking, feeding, and playing. I treat all pets with kindness and respect. I want them to trust me to take care of them as well as have fun and be safe.
About: I’ve been a dog lover for all of my life and have always had a dog near my side. My Great Dane was my best friend until she passed away at 9 last year. I love helping trains dogs and have a great record for training and obedience. I understand how important it is to find someone reliable and understanding to take care of a best friend. I go to school in the mornings and I’m usually available in the afternoons and the weekends with a little notice. My schedule can be very flexible as needed. I have a fenced in backyard. I have three dogs, ages 8,12,12. My three dogs are range from 10 pounds to 100 pounds so I am familiar with taking care of dogs both old and young and small and large. I will follow any specific rules or needs for any client.
“My wife and I are new to the area and needed to go away for a few days, we have used Rover in the past so that is where I headed and once again, we got so lucky in finding Cheyenne!! Oh my gosh did our "Boys" fall in love immediately and we could see Cheyenne's overwhelming love for them as well. Our days away were filled with updates constantly and photos which put us at ease! We would recommend Cheyenne to anyone but selfishly we don't want her to get too busy for when we have a need again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have only met a couple that was not interested in being my friend. Total dog dad with 3 seniors in the home, all are super friendly. They enjoy walks on the beach every day and are very comfortable around other dogs and people. Our neighborhood is very pet friendly and there is a park just a block away. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. My pups get plenty of attention each day and enjoy playing with new friends. Your pup will be right at home in our house. It’s very relaxed and calm. We can also do drop in visits to your home, go to the beach, or to one of several parks on the island. I know how it feels to have to leave my furries behind, so with that in mind , I’ll do my best to keep them distracted while their humans are away.
About: I care for animals as if they are my own and have experience with a wide variety of dogs. I also volunteer at the humane society once per month. I work from home so am able to give my own animals, and yours, the love and attention that they deserve while you are away. Walks, pets or treats - I'm here to spoil them! I typically have a flexible schedule. I am home most weekdays and weeknights to do drop ins, short walks, car rides and an occasional pet/house sit! I have a fenced yard and animals are monitored while in the yard. Yard is well maintained and pleasant for animals to play or sunbathe.
“We were beyond pleased with Teona who stayed with our senior dog for 3 different occasions while we were in St. Simons for a wedding and all the festivities associated. We were able to enjoy ourselves thanks to Teona’s great care.”
