“Absolutely amazing! She was super sweet and sent pictures of my Golden Doodles while with her. She was very flexible with pick up and drop off. I absolutely recommend, when we need a dog sitter again we will be using her.”

“Sarah is extremely friendly and organized in pet sitting. She has great communication and even makes you feel at home. Her home is full of energy and any other person or pet there also makes you feel welcomed. Its really obvious that she cares about the pets she sits. I only trust her to keep my sweet boy”


“Brett and Sandra are wonderful people. They watched our Mayzie for a few days while we were in New York! I would not hesitate leaving any pups with them! They truly are phenomenal people!!”

About: Happy trails and happy tails! We adore animals and truly enjoy caring for them. It’s something that already fits naturally into our daily life. Living in a quieter, more spacious setting, we wanted to create a safe, calm place where pets can feel comfortable while their owners are away. We understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so we focus on giving them attention, consistency, and a low stress environment. For us, we know how it feels to consider our pets as family members and it’s something we take seriously and genuinely brings us joy! We have had the privilege of loving several fur babies over the years and know what it means to have trusted partners and friends that can help out when the need arises. Our sweet companions should have a comfortable and safe space to relax when families have to be away. In recent years we’ve struggled to find that for our own pets so we’ve decided to open our home and land in order to help those looking for a reliable option for care. Sharing our hobby farm would be an honor for those who feel it would be a good fit for their families! We look forward to growing trusted partnerships in our community. We are homeschooling family of 3 that spends the majority of our days working and learning here on our mini hobby farm. My husband remote works and one of us can be found here most days of the week. We have 2 male yellow labs that hold down the outside spaces and female golden doodle that keeps things fun inside. They are very social and friendly with other animals. We also have 3 outdoor cats, a bunny in a hutch, and a large coop of chickens that free range in the afternoons. We do mealtimes 2x per day and have plenty of fresh clean water available at all times. Playtime and walks are every day around noon and again in the evenings. Potty breaks 3-4 times per day or as needed. For the safety of our furry friends we do crate or provide a smaller space for resting and relaxing times. If your pet cannot be confined in smaller rooms or spaces throughout the day, let’s discuss how to best care for their needs prior to booking a stay.
“Katherine did a wonderful job taking care of my baby. She treated my dog as if she were her own, cared and attended for her needs and even gave her extra love and attention. I highly recommend and look forward to the next time we travel because I know she will be in great hands with Katherine.”

“5 stars all the way! Benjamin took care of our senior dog on a recent trip to st simons. She is on tons of meds I clouding eye drops and required a lot of special attention. Benjamin was on top of it and never missed a pill or treatment. He took her on nice walks ans between him and his girlfriend gave her lots of loves and pets. His little dog Millie is super sweet ans friendly and just loved on my Rana too! Even though Rana is shy with other dogs they immediately hit it off and I think the visit was good for her! I will definitely book Benjamin again. Very friendly, professional and responsible!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I have previous pet sitting experience through ........, caring for both dogs and cats with overnight stays and drop-in visits, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine and provide the care they need, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, cuddles, or medication with instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you’re back home. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for evening drop-in visits and walks after work, as well as weekends. I understand the importance of consistency and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine whenever possible. My availability is updated regularly, and I’ll always communicate promptly about scheduling. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play, and my friendly Husky, Yunaleska(Yuna Tuna), loves having canine companions. Because Yuna is not spayed, I require male dogs staying in my home to be neutered for everyone’s safety and comfort. My cats are accustomed to dogs and generally prefer to relax in their own space. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any medication instructions. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, you’ll receive regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing they’re safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I grew up around pets my as a child and have owned dogs for 32 years of all sizes and types. I have always been the go to person for everyone to care for their pets and i love it. I have no problem feeding, bathing, training or walking your pet as if it were my own. Our pets are our children as well and we need to care for them the best way we can.

I have a fenced yard and can Kennel the dog if needed but for the most part I prefer for them to get a feel of my home and my rules.

About: My family always joked I’d become a crazy cat lady. Joke’s on them! I love all animals, but to be fair, cats are my favorite. 🐱 I understand that every cat has their own personality, whether they’re a cuddle bug, playful menace, shy baby, or prefer to admire you from afar. I’m experienced with senior cats, specialty diets, and administering oral and topical medications. Most importantly, I’m happy to meet your cat where they are and give them the care, attention, and space they need to feel comfortable while you’re away.

About: I have raised and cared for families, friends 🧡, and even coworkers' pets. Growing up, I always enjoyed watching veterinarians help our farm animals. My mother taught us about natural remedies we could find in nature to help cure or heal us over time. One memorable experience was when I saved a beloved cat from what we believed was antifreeze poisoning. Drawing on what I learned from my family and my work, I created activated charcoal using black coal from the fireplace. I mixed the powdered charcoal with warm milk and carefully forced it down my little cat's throat. Thankfully, I was able to save my cat, Taco 🌮 😺, who went on to live for many more happy years.

“I would highly recommend Anna for anyone looking for daycare for their dog. She was very flexible working with our schedule as we were visiting St Simon Island. Communication was great and our lab Tilly was happy and well cared for.”

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’m especially comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs pets, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and respecting each pet’s individual boundaries. I also founded and manage an animal rescue organization in Brazil, where I have personally cared for more than 60 rescued cats. This experience has taught me how to handle animals who may be fearful, nervous, or unfamiliar with new environments, as well as pets who require extra attention, medication, or specialized care. As a pet mom to my dog Savannah and my cat Ellie, I understand that every pet is a member of the family. I provide attentive, loving care and take the time to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home. As a military spouse, I also understand how important flexibility, reliability, and trust can be for military families and their pets. I work remotely from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. My schedule gives me the flexibility to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks, while also making sure your pet receives plenty of companionship. Because I’m home most of the day, your pet will have someone around to keep them company and monitor their needs. I’m able to give each pet the individual attention, care, and affection they deserve while they are staying with me. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets can feel at home. I follow each pet’s individual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, rest, and any special instructions from their owner. Since I work remotely from home, I’m able to provide frequent supervision and plenty of attention throughout the day. I also make sure pets have a calm and comfortable space to relax when they need some quiet time. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, habits, likes, and boundaries. My goal is to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible while keeping them safe and well cared for.
“If you're looking for a reliable and caring dogsitter, Jennifer is the one to book! We are very selective about who we leave our pup, Aslan, with, and Jennifer exceeded our high expectations. She kept us updated with photos throughout Aslan’s stay, making us feel at ease. We will be booking with Jennifer again and highly recommend her for anyone who wants exceptional care for their furry friend!”

I’m also happy to follow specific routines and instructions to make sure each dog gets the care they’re used to. I’ll treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they get lots of love and attention!

Since I have a flexible schedule, I can provide regular check-ins, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

“Lahra was absolutely amazing. She was absolutely amazing with Ernie and treated him with so much love, care, and attention. From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable and confident leaving him in her hands. She is incredibly trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely such a kind person. It was clear how much she truly cared about Ernie, and that meant so much to me. Knowing he was happy, safe, and being so well cared for gave me complete peace of mind. I’m so grateful we found her and would recommend her without hesitation!”

About: Hi there! I absolutely love animals of all kinds and have spent years turning that love into hands-on experience. I’ve been a dog trainer for 5+ years and have over 6 years of pet sitting experience, so your pet will be in knowledgeable, caring hands. I have open availability for boarding and I’m flexible with scheduling for training and drop-in visits. Dogs staying in my home must be comfortable around other dogs and small children. If you’re looking for more structured support, I also offer board-and-train options. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away 🐶✨ My schedule is pretty flexible I’m available for boarding anytime and dog walks.

We also have a crate if you keep your pup in a crate at night or while gone and they can be easily crated if need be.
About: Pet care is almost second nature for me. I’ve been entrusted with caring for pets since I was a child and started taking it more seriously in my adulthood. Having furry friends to hang out with is truly the highlight of any day/week for me. I work in the restaurant biz, but I’m able to set my schedule for the most part, so taking on pet sitting gigs is easy for me. While I live in an apartment, it is VERY pet friendly. It has a dog washing station on my floor, as well as multiple pet play areas around the property. Inside your fur babies can enjoy spacious areas and easily accessible food an water station. And for the babies that like to feel the wind in their hair, I’ve got a balcony that looks over a portion of River Walk! I initiate play time and adhere to any specific walking and eating schedule your baby may have.

Drop off and pick up at her house was also seamless and her two greyhounds Digby and Tony were so sweet to both of our animals! They were sad to go and will definitely be back!”

“Melanie was great and so helpful to take my pup for boarding - it was a last minute request and my travel schedule changed frequently.
