“Candice was a phenomenal partner in caring for our dog during a week long family trip. Punctual, thoughtful, and a wonderful communicator, Candice provided our dog genuine care and kept our family at ease knowing all was taken care of at home. Would HIGHLY recommend and will look to book again!”


About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets since I was 15. From hamsters to cats to dogs, I’ve loved taking care of all their needs. Making sure they’re fed, happy, and healthy. I currently work full-time, so my availability is limited on weekdays. I work long hours Monday - Thursday, but I’m fully available Friday - Sunday. My roommate has a 3 year bully-pit who is friendly. We have an extra kennel if needed or preferred ( and plenty of treats. )

About: I have always been around dogs my entire life. I have always been in love with dogs and they are something I truly admire. I have been entrusted throughout my life of taking care of my friends and neighbors dogs. I have also worked with dogs from Yorkies all the way to Great Danes so size doesn’t bother me. During my experience I have worked with puppies all the way up to our senior pups making sure every dog is cared for and loved to the highest extent possible. I am currently a part time student, which means I can be around your pets most of the day due to my classes only taking at most 3 hours of my day so I can make sure your pets are loved and appreciated. Taking care of someone else’s pet is truly a privilege to be trusted enough to make sure someone’s baby is cared for and loved as much as you do. I will make sure to communicate and provide you with pictures and videos of your pets throughout and make sure to keep you updated with anything. I am a quick learner and will make to keep your stress levels low.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life ever since I could remember, I started with my mom at the young age of 10 years old when she joined georgia animal humane society. I grew up fostering mainly kittens until they could be rehomed. And have always had pets in the family. I currently work at Oxbow meadows in animal care of our reptiles and amphibians so I have a wide range of experience with different animals! Truly one of my favorite passions. I'm currently a college student with a flexible schedule, I do work throughout the week days as well, ranging from 4 up to 8 hours. But i am willing to adjust my schedule if needed. For house sitting, I'm always able to keep your fluffy friend company through the night! When caring for my your pets I keep it similar to how i treat my own animals unless called for otherwise. I regularly take them out on walks and potty breaks, play time is a must and I like to keep a strict eye on the pet to make sure they're safe and sound at all times. I will always keep in contact with you and give regular updates in pictures of how your pet is doing.

“Joshua did an incredible job watching our dogs over a long weekend. He was very easy to schedule with and very responsive. He also put incredible detail and effort into his updates and pictures (truly going above and beyond), ensuring that we could enjoy our trip without worrying about anything back home. The dogs seemed to have really enjoyed their time with him. I’ve used Rover several times before with great results but Joshua set a new standard and I cannot more highly recommend him.”


“Vanisha did a wonderful job with my cat Loki. Not only did she make sure he was fed and cleaned his box, she spent at least an hour with him every visit to make sure he was engaged. Definitely 5 stars!”


“Rachel was amazing! She was incredibly communicative and friendly throughout. She made sure both of my dogs’ individual needs were met, engaging with each of them in ways that matched their unique personalities and preferences. Even when Jax wasn’t feeling his best, she kept me updated from the beginning and truly went above and beyond to care for him. Couldn’t ask for better!”


About: Farm raised will love and care for any of your fur babies. Slow walks and lots of cuddles makes me the perfect sitter for your fur family. I am a mother of five girls that all have flown the coup, and looking to find exercise and little extra money. I love animals being raised on a farm. I take integrity and trust as a quality I strongly hold. I am trustworthy and hold professionalism to the highest level. I keep myself and my animals safe and happy.


“Marissa T. Is such a caring person that she treats my cat and dog as her own. I love the updates and the daily pictures and am secure in the knowledge my “kids” are well cared for when I cannot be home.”


“Very nice and a was great with my dog!”


About: I enjoy dog sitting on my off time. I have a pretty hectic work schedule that is all over the place. This makes it hard for me to have my own pup so I love on everyone else’s pups instead. I only take pets on the weeks that my schedule isn’t as crazy. This allows me to give my full attention and spend quality with the pet while I have them. I love cuddling up on the couch with pups. I also enjoy going to the dog park and long walks around the lake for some exercise

About: I will take you're animal out for a walk around the neighborhood you live in or to a local park. If I do take them to a park you're animal will enjoy a short car ride. I have had all sorts of animals throughout my life growing up. I have plenty of experience with puppies and elders. I did goto school for EMT training so I have first aid experience. I can brush your dog or cats fur if they let me. I will give your dog or cat lots of treats and the 1 on 1 attention they need. We will walk at their pace and take breaks if needed to not over exert them. We will have lots of fun running around and enjoying the fresh air. I have a full time job but it is slightly flexible to help bend to your needs. I can make last minute arrangements as well for the last minute emergencies. I will provide a safe play environment either inside or outside with their toys and provide water and food after they finish exercising if you permit.

“Nicole is awesome! On short notice she took excellent care of our four challenging rescue dogs and one cat for a whole week. We would highly recommend her and will definitely use her in the future for all of our pet care needs”


About: I have worked with rescues including Animal Ark and PAWS humane society for over 15 years. I volunteer and foster through PAWS to this day. I am a stay at home mom, so I will be able to watch and care for your pet at any time, day or night. My pets are spoiled to the core, they have 2 meals a day, plus snacks, they roam around the house freely and get taken outside for potty breaks regularly or when asked.

“Katie was such a great sitter for our cat Gooby! She was always on time, sent plenty of photos each visit, and kept our house neat and tidy. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!”

“Marianne was amazing and very accommodating for our last minute drop-ins request. Great communication and even brought extra treats over for when we ran out while we were gone. We could tell Knox loved her and felt comfortable with her - we will definitely rebook Marianne for future needs!”

Emma H.
“I have had the pleasure of entrusting my pets to Emma's care, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Emma is not just a pet caregiver; she's a true animal lover with a heart of gold. From the moment she met my furry family members, her genuine warmth and affection were evident. Emma's attention to detail is impressive. She took the time to learn about each pet's individual needs, quirks, and preferences. Whether it was administering medication, sticking to dietary routines, or simply providing playtime and cuddles, Emma was always one step ahead. It was clear that she treated my pets as if they were her own, and that level of dedication brought me immense peace of mind. What truly sets Emma apart is her commitment to going the extra mile. She would send me regular updates, complete with adorable photos and heartwarming anecdotes about my pets' adventures with her. These thoughtful gestures made me feel connected to my pets even when I was away. Emma's responsible nature was evident in her meticulous approach to pet care. Safety was always a priority, and she ensured that my pets were in a secure and nurturing environment. Her professionalism, punctuality, and reliability made working with her an absolute pleasure. In a world where finding someone trustworthy to care for your pets can be a challenge, Emma stands out as a gem. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a caring and dedicated pet caregiver. With Emma, you're not just hiring someone to look after your pets; you're welcoming a true friend into your pets' lives.”
