“Tim has stayed with Caylei multiple times now, and he absolutely loves it. He cries when I make him leave. Caylei is the first sitter he's had who can adequately care for him, as he has special needs, but she manages those so well and she treats him with such kindness. We love Caylei and are so thankful to have found her!”

“Needed a sitter on short notice while our apartment was being fumigated, I was so grateful for Jennifer taking them in while I was at work. She's very kind, gentle, and caring, providing perfect care for both our sweet kitties. One of our cats had a bit of irritation in her eye from some dirt, and she was able to give her the eye drops we left with her. Absolutely will book her again if/when I need a sitter, you can tell how much she loves what she does.”
“My dog links could not tell me if he liked his stay with Jess but he was not to eger to leave or get in car which tells me service was good. I will use this service again in the future Ed”

“What a wonderful person to trust with my pets while traveling. Xionella is a very gentle and caring pet sitter. Both of my small dogs stayed with her for almost a week and were relaxed and happy on pickup day. She sent frequent updates and some of the most cute pictures I have ever seen of my pups. I recommend booking with Xionella and I know I will for my next trip.”
“I was so worried about leaving my dog with anyone. I met Jonathan and one of his dogs at a park and his calm demeanor put my dog at ease right away. He definitely understands dogs. Within minutes of dropping my dog off at his house on the day of boarding, Jonathan sent me a video of the dogs which put my mind at rest. I had numerous photos and reports throughout the two days. I now have someone who is kind, capable and thoughtful that I can trust to leave my big guy with. Thank you, Jonathan, for being a welcoming host! Thank you, Rover, for working with such a quality person!”

“Xiomy took amazing care of my dog. She kept me updated every day with the sweetest photos, and I always felt at ease knowing my pup was happy and loved. Her dog Elma is incredibly gentle and became the perfect playmate — they bonded right away. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I truly recommend her!”
“I found Tracey extremely last minute for my dad’s dog and she was beyond kind and communicative. She sent me photos of my dad’s dog, as well as let me know how he was doing as he has bad separation anxiety! I will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you so much Tracey!”

“Rachel was a wonderful sitter and would highly recommend her to care for your fur babies. She was reliable and eased the stress of leaving my senior cat so I could relax and enjoy time with my new grandson.”
“Thank you to Hollie P. for once again taking fantastic care of our cats and home! I am always excited to read the detailed updates she writes and never worry about our pets as she gives them all individual attention.”
“When I say that Caylei is amazing, I really mean that. My cat, Tim, has special needs and can be temperamental/ really grumpy, at times. He has been fired from several boarding facilities for his bad attitude. Well, Caylei was willing to take him on and not only that, her care and patience was rewarded with a super happy cat all week! I am truly so thankful to have found her. She sent me updates, photos, and videos while I was gone, which really helped ease my mind. We have a few other trips planned that I wasn't sure we would be able to take if Tim misbehaved for her, too, but everything went significantly better than I ever hoped. Caylei is smart, caring, knowledgeable, and very competent in pet care, even in special circumstances. I can't recommend her enough.”
“This was the first time ever using a pet sitting service of any kind and I am so glad we found Savanna. Since we were so new to this, I was incredibly nervous. All of those worries were eased upon our meet and greet with Savanna. She was very responsive in the time leading up to the sitting job and very communicative during the week we were gone. We got regular updates along with pictures of our kitties that reassured us our boys were always in good hands. Her responsible, consistent, and warm demeanor is very appreciated and we will certainly use Savanna’s services in the future.”
“Once again I am very grateful for Darlene’s services and fortunate to have her care for my cats. My cats are not very quick to warm up to new people, but Darlene has a gentle and understanding approach which makes it easier for them to feel comfortable.”
“I want to thank Claire for taking such good care of my cat, Cala. She played with her, kept her toilet clean and tidy and gave her the affection she needs. Cala was very happy with Claire and I definitely recommend her!”

About: Registered Veterinary Technician who works emergency medicine on the weekends looking for extra work through the week. I can’t stay at your house overnight, but your pet can come to mine. I can also do drop ins pretty regularly. I graduated college with a degree in Veterinary technology and passed my state boards. I work at an emergency clinic in Atlanta on the weekends and right now I’m free through the week. I can try my best to work out whatever you need help with. I’m skilled at giving medications and anything basic your pet may need in home, as well as lifesaving care due to any emergency. I can keep non child friendly cats in a different area, but dogs must be child friendly. I do have cats & ferrets, but they can be kept separately if your animals are not cat & small rodent friendly. I have 2 dogs as well. All of my animals are pet friendly with everything as many animals have come through my care fostering. I'm skilled in exotic pet care as well if necessary. I currently only work weekend overnights in the ER. So, I am home all week caring for my fur babies. As well as yours hopefully! I strive to care for anyone's else's pets exactly as I would my own. When they are with me, they are my babies too. I bring my ER compassion with me when I pet sit, in the ER the pets are without their owners & they are scared on top of being hurt. While my pet sits may not be hurt, I'm aware they could be nervous & unfamiliar. I try to treat them with the upmost compassion & kindness.
“Chayna was amazing!! I cannot rave enough about her communication, flexibility with my requests and scheduling, and care of my two pups. She went above and beyond to help me feel at ease with leaving my dogs with someone knew. I loved getting updates and photos and knowing my dogs were safe and cared for while I was gone. They were happy, tired babies when I got them home again. Highly recommend!!”

About: I grew up with dogs and love them immensely. We have two fetch-obsessed golden retrievers currently and we’re happy to have friendly dogs come stay/play. I work remote and so dogs get attention/company all day when they stay here. There’s usually multiple play/fetch sessions outside with the dogs every day and neighborhood walks throughout the week. The dogs enjoy a large fenced in back yard and free run of the house whenever they’re inside (after their paws get wiped down). Dogs here will enjoy plenty of attention from myself and my golden retrievers throughout the day.
About: I have years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My background includes EDD K9 handling, obedience training, working bird hunting dogs, and caring for high-energy working breeds that require structure and exercise. I live on 14.9 acres in Madison County, Georgia, providing dogs with a safe, spacious environment to play, explore, and relax. I understand canine behavior, body language, and the importance of maintaining routines that help dogs feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your dog needs active playtime, supervised socialization, or a calm place to stay, I provide dependable, attentive care as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time profession, not a side job. My daily routine is built around the dogs in my care, ensuring they receive attention, exercise, potty breaks, feeding, and supervision throughout the day. Living on 14.9 acres in Madison County, I provide a safe, spacious environment where dogs can enjoy structured outdoor time and plenty of individual attention. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a calm, relaxed atmosphere, I tailor their care to their specific needs. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their dogs are being cared for by someone whose primary focus is their safety, comfort, and happiness. Dogs enjoy a structured daily schedule that includes supervised outdoor exercise, potty breaks, feeding according to their owner’s instructions, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one interaction. Each dog has access to a clean, secure run for rest and quiet time, while also receiving multiple opportunities throughout the day for exercise and socialization when appropriate. Because we accept only a limited number of dogs, we can closely monitor behavior, appetite, activity levels, and overall well-being. This personalized approach helps reduce stress, creates a calmer environment, and allows us to provide the level of care and attention that dogs deserve while their families are away. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and structured home-away-from-home experience where every dog is treated like a valued guest rather than just another boarding reservation.

I have rescued and cared for both cats and dogs for as long as I’ve been breathing. I love caring for and being around animals with my whole being. Currently, I work full-time during the week as a speech-language pathologist, but have availability on the weekends to care for your pets. I live with my boyfriend, Skyler, who works from home. He is an animal enthusiast, and is always excited to help out. We have 3 amazing inside fur babies together. We live in a 2 story home with an unfenced yard with access to a dog park in our neighborhood. My girl Zelda is a very sweet, shy 2 year old golden retriever/husky rescue. She is great with small to medium sized dogs, but is very anxious around larger dogs. I have two small cats that are very dog friendly. I have experience caring for 15 cats simultaneously for an extended time at a family members cattery. I have been a dog owner since I was 4 years old and have dog sat/walked numerous dogs throughout my college career for friends! I am very active myself and love to take my dog for long walks/runs/hikes. I can go many miles if your dog has that much energy. However, I’m perfectly fine snuggling up at home and watching some TV with your pup, as well. I could play fetch and tug of war till my arm falls off. I have plenty of experience with crate training, house training, and litter boxes. I am a firm believer in positive reinforcement and a loving environment. I promise to always treat your pets as if they were my own. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask! I am open to all questions and arranging a meet up. Again, thank you for considering me. I hope to hear from you soon!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. My family has always accepted our pets as part of our own family. All this to say, I definitely have experience in helping a pet live a happy life by caring for their needs such as walking, feeding, bathing, clean after, and spending quality time. I currently am a stay-at-home “girlfriend” with a part time job (work 2 days a week), therefore I have plenty time and days available to help with any care I am able to do for your pets! At my home I have two inside cats that my boyfriend and I adopted last year, sisters. Taking care of them is easy, needless to say as we keep them up to date with checkups, have lots of play time and kept well fed. At my dad’s home he has two chihuahuas, and at my mother’s home she has two weenie pups. I visit both homes to spend quality time with the dogs and help with anything they may need. All my pets are well taken care of with regular baths, healthy diets, and quality time!

“Tim has stayed with Caylei multiple times now, and he absolutely loves it. He cries when I make him leave. Caylei is the first sitter he's had who can adequately care for him, as he has special needs, but she manages those so well and she treats him with such kindness. We love Caylei and are so thankful to have found her!”

“What a wonderful person to trust with my pets while traveling. Xionella is a very gentle and caring pet sitter. Both of my small dogs stayed with her for almost a week and were relaxed and happy on pickup day. She sent frequent updates and some of the most cute pictures I have ever seen of my pups. I recommend booking with Xionella and I know I will for my next trip.”
“I was so worried about leaving my dog with anyone. I met Jonathan and one of his dogs at a park and his calm demeanor put my dog at ease right away. He definitely understands dogs. Within minutes of dropping my dog off at his house on the day of boarding, Jonathan sent me a video of the dogs which put my mind at rest. I had numerous photos and reports throughout the two days. I now have someone who is kind, capable and thoughtful that I can trust to leave my big guy with. Thank you, Jonathan, for being a welcoming host! Thank you, Rover, for working with such a quality person!”

We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
