About: Hello! I work at an emergency veterinary hospital as a CSR. Before that, I worked at an animal shelter where I handle medical duties, daily feedings, and cleaning. I am in school to achieve a doctorate in veterinary medicine. I pet/house sit for a family friend on holidays for years now. I have been loving going on walk’s recently and would love a four-legged buddy to join! I overall stay active during the week and relax at home during the evenings so it works for dog walking and sitting! Due to my work experience, I can observe certain behaviors in our four-legged buddies if there is ever any issue and my number one priority will always be the safety and security of the animal.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life. At 13, I started a neighborhood dog-walking business for owners who were “too pooped to walk their dogs,” which quickly grew into in-home and overnight dog sitting. I got my first dog at age ten and trained her myself, and I’ve since attended multiple dog training classes because I genuinely enjoy working with dogs. Over the years, I’ve cared for labs, golden doodles, pit bulls, and more for families that I have worked with through high school and college. Now that I have my own home (next to a park) I’m excited to start again with plenty of space, structure, and love for every pup. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m an emergency nurse and work every Monday and Tuesday and every other weekend, which gives me most weekdays free and flexible for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. On my off days, I enjoy staying active with walking, running, and hiking, and I love including dogs in those activities for both exercise and enrichment. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives consistent attention, timely care, and plenty of love. Safety and trust are my top priorities. As an emergency nurse, I have strong medical training and stay calm and attentive in all situations, including emergencies. I closely follow pet parents’ instructions and routines in both my home and theirs, ensuring a low-stress, loving environment. I provide supervised play, secure walks, and plenty of mental and physical stimulation. Living next to a park gives dogs safe space to explore, exercise, and enjoy structured outdoor time while always being carefully monitored.

About: I have experience with all sizes of dogs, from Shih Tzus to Great Pyrenees as well as both indoor and outdoor cats. I also have experience with different temperaments, such as fearful, hyper, or dominant animals. I am a stay-at-home mom with a newborn, so my schedule is very flexible and I would love the chance to play with your fur babies! I make sure your fur babies are comfortable and all their needs are met, as well as taking care when entering your home to ensure any escape attempts are unsuccessful!

About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for animals. I specialize in overnight care, ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I'm experienced with senior pets who need extra attention and gentle care, as well as energetic puppies that require structured routines and basic training reinforcement. Whether it’s administering medication, sticking to special diets, or just offering extra cuddles, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine, and I make it a priority in my schedule. I’m available for overnight stays during the week and weekends, and I plan my days around the pets I care for—whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medication. I maintain a calm, consistent environment to help pets feel secure, and I give updates regularly so you know how your pet is doing. I’m flexible and can adjust to meet your pet’s usual routine to keep them happy and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I create a calm, secure, and familiar environment by following your routines closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I’m always mindful of safety, keeping doors, gates, and potential hazards in check, and I never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I provide regular updates with photos and messages, so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. Building trust—with both you and your pet—is at the heart of how I care.

About: I have raised several puppies successfully and have helped a family member with caring for large litters of Great Danes. We have had senior dogs that have required medication administration, including insulin. I also volunteer at the heart Humane Society in Georgia taken care of the cats and the dogs that are waiting to be placed into a forever home. I currently work par-time so I have plenty of time for pet care. I do have other family in my home that can care for my pets if I am needed for over nights. I love caring for pets it makes me feel rewarded when pets respond positively with me. I have 2 dogs in my home both weigh approx. 50 pounds. Our yard is fenced in so they go in and out. I take them on walks and hikes to nearby waterfalls. They are fed twice a day, just dry food once and with shredded chicken the second time. I also bath them and trim their nails and brush their teeth. I would be happy to assist where I can with your pets routines.

About: I'm a living cliche' : Reclusive award-winning best-selling novelist on the lake (I work outside--lakeside--when weather permits). I don't see many humans...I prefer dogs; they're my muse. And the more, the merrier. My life revolves around my own 2 dogs, and they love company and play-dates! I work mostly outside, if weather permits, under my huge covered patio overlooking the lake. With plenty of supervised playtime, your dog will have endless opportunities to engage in fun activities and exercise with George & Steve, while enjoying a huge view of the lake and the forrest. My yard is fenced in with plenty of room for the dogs to play. My home is is designed with my pets' comfort in mind. Cozy beds, tons of toys, and soft blankets... and social-sleeping (sleeps in Pack Mama's room with the pack on the bed--or on a dogbed on the floor) for companionship and comfort. Crates available upon request.

About: Pets have so much fun here, they try to come back in during pickup time! I’ve been caring and training dogs for 4 years. For boarding schedule between 7am and 745pm, only bring dog food. No bowls, no beds, no leashes, there are plenty of extras here. Several dogs here play together everyday so I can only take healthy active dogs that do not have any infectious or contagious illnesses. The best fit is a playful friendly dog that wants to run and have fun (not a dog that needs to be alone or the only pet). I cannot take senior dogs that need multiple medications or dogs with mange, or bordatella or heart worms or any type of illness. I ensure each and every dog gets the love and affection they need! I provide several services including boarding, training, walking, daycare and more! Your pets are loved and safe with me! My boarding schedule is 7am to 730pm for pet drop off and pet pickup. I do have some family time at dinner so its best to schedule drop off and pick ups before 5pm or after 7pm to accommodate the time it takes for new arrivals. All pets get to play with other dogs. Every dog gets one on one time with me and the dogs who aren’t so okay with other dogs get to spend time with me! I ensure all dogs are safe and create a calming environment for them! This takes more time to separate intact males and females and many fixed dogs do not get along with intact males so therefore there is an additional charge for intact males due to the additional time and labor.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments for over 10 years. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and pets that need extra patience or attention. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and safety, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—not just watching them, but making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide consistent and attentive care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays after 2 PM, with time set aside for walks, play, feeding, and check-ins. I make sure each pet gets dedicated attention and isn’t just “fit into” my schedule—they’re part of it. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized dogs who enjoy having company. I always introduce pets slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I can crate your dog if needed and will follow any specific routines, feeding schedules, or care instructions you provide. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels at home.

About: Hi! My name is Amy and I simply love animals. I've had and been around animals my entire life including volunteering at the local animal shelter. Currently, my fiancé and i are running a small reptile rescue. I have three dogs, two bearded dragons, three leopard geckos and two tree frogs. Our Favorite thing to do is go hiking or kayaking but we enjoy anything outdoors! I've always loved caring for animals and trying to make the relationship with their owner as fantastic as it possibly can. Every animal owner knows that they aren't just animals, they're our babies; and everyone wants someone to care for them as much as they do :) I do not have a full time 9-5 job so I have plenty of time to spend with your dogs, cats or any other animals. My personal dogs are trained on an invisible fence system to keep them safe and still have plenty of room to run and play. I am well acquainted with crating as well as any other type of part time refraining.

About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. They have been a big part of my life. I always love getting to meet and play with new dogs! I have cared for and walked many family and friends dogs and now I want to expand my knowledge and experience!!! I have also been working at a animal shelter for 2 yrs so I have lots of experience with all types of dogs, big or small, rambunctious or scared. I love cats as well and have taken care of quite a few but I don't have a lot of experience with them. I am willing to sit with and care for pretty much any animal!!! I have also completed 2 different behavior classes through my shelter and I'm working on a third right now for dog playgroups. I'm currently only working 4 days so I have 3 days im available! I try my best to work with every schedule and I am willing to take off work for a day or two if needed but I have to have at least a 2 week notice. I do everything from potty breaks, feeding, medication, daily walks near or away from clients home (park walks), playtime alone or with other dogs, ECT.
