About: Growing up, my family always had animals around. I have five brothers and sisters and we all had pets, from dogs to cows to fish. Now as an adult, I would love to care for your pets for you. I’m not afraid of loud messy big dogs but I can be very gentle with shy sweet kitties and puppies. I’m very patient and I have done extensive research on how a dog’s brain works. I can’t wait to take your pet on an adventure or maybe just a leisurely stroll! I’m a stay-at-home-wife so I have lots of free time to dedicate to your furry friend. I try to keep Sundays low-key but the rest of my week is wide-open! I have a sweet small dog and a silly cat who loves dogs but can easily defend herself and hide. I have a big backyard for your pets to play in, but don’t worry, I will never leave them unsupervised.

About: I have taken care of all types of animals since I was 5 years old! I spend most of my free time with my pets and I work at a pet store! I own a Jack Russell Terrier, a Mainecoon, a cockatiel, a hamster, many different types of reptiles, and fish. I am very experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to pets! I am constantly caring for animals of all shapes and sizes, as I own 14 myself! It is part of my daily routine and I enjoy doing it. I am very well versed in dog training, as I have studied it in hopes of becoming either a dog trainer or a groomer. I have easily taught my 7 year old rescue dog basic commands such as sitting, spinning, laying down, and even potty training after he had been an outside dog for years. I am able to correctly follow care instructions as I've been doing it for over a year now working with a pet store!
About: I've taken care of and owned both cats and dogs for the last 5 years. I am also a new owner of a bearded dragon and take care of my mom’s horses from time to time. I'm a USC graduate and a rising second year vet student at UGA. I'm passionate about animal care and providing peace of mind to pet parents. I’m comfortable medicating and handling pets of all sizes and temperaments. I work part time as a veterinary technician during the summer. I'm available to pet sit any time that I’m not scheduled and most weekends. While I can't offer to keep other pets in my apartment, I am eager to keep pets comfortable in their own home while their parents are away. I will treat your pets as if they were my own and offer multiple updates while you're away.
About: I have experience working with large breed, small breed, cats, reptiles and farm animals. I have volunteered in shelters and on farms. I enjoy investing my time in animals and would love the chance to treat your pet like a part of the family. I work from home so your pet will never be alone for much longer than a trip to the store. I enjoy the company to be honest. I have no pets in my home. A large front and back yard. I have plenty of safe space for your fur baby to play in or outside with a clean & loving environment. I am happy to follow and special care instructions your pet might need.

Eric M.
“Eric asked me to take a little time to give you guys a little insight to the relationship he has with my beloved couch wolves present and past. I can honestly say I've yet to see a dog that doesn't like him. He's the number one option to watch over house when we have to be away, from the timely distribution of Jax's seizure medication to the near constant play with our heeler, Brother. To getting the cats inside at dark. He even keeps feed out for the deer that come out at dusk. If you need someone take great care in watching all the things you hold dear. You should consider booking him. You won't regret it.. Sincerely, April and Eric Collins”
