“As always, Caylei took excellent care of my disabled boy. This time, she has a bit of an emergency when he was unable to be expressed for urine. She took him with her to work where he had his bladder drained, saving him. Thank you, Caylei, for always being so competent and capable, especially with my special needs guy.”
“Stacy was awesome. I am a first time dog owner and left my 5-month old puppy with her for 5 days and she answered all my questions and put all my fears to rest. She kept me updated daily with pictures and commentary about how my puppy was doing. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Will definitely be calling her again.”
“Diana did such a wonderful job with our pup. I swear he’s learned some new things. He doesn’t nip as much. He’s waiting before eating. Trainer and sitter in one. Thanks for taking us last minute. Really appreciate you and your family for caring for our baby.”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Jill watch my dog over the weekend, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. From the moment I met her, it was clear that Jill has a genuine love for animals and a professional approach to pet sitting. Throughout the weekend, Jill kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which really put my mind at ease. It was evident that my dog was not only well-cared for but also having a great time. Jill followed all my instructions meticulously, from feeding schedules to exercise routines, and even took the extra step to spend quality time playing and cuddling with my pup. When I returned, my dog was happy, relaxed, and well-groomed, a testament to the excellent care Jill provided. Her reliability, attention to detail, and warm demeanor truly make her stand out as a dog sitter. I highly recommend Jill to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring individual to look after their furry friends. I will definitely be booking her services again in the future!”
“What a great experience for me and my poodle. Felicia and Brad were so gracious and it is obvious that they love dogs. I will definitely use them again.”
About: I’ve had pets of all kinds for my entire life. I have always loved animals and grew up learning how to care for them. I also have rescue volunteer and foster experience so I have cared for all kinds of dogs! I’m currently working remote, so I am home all day to care for and spend time with your pets.

“Riley answered very quickly to my request, and had great communication from the beginning. She welcomed my dog and I, and sent video updates throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend her ! Thank you again Riley!”
“Winter is always the happiest boy when he sees JR JR takes such good care of him. He even took him for a doggy sundae. JR it’s always so loving and caring and patient with Winter.”
“Great experience overall. They were very accommodating to my schedule, which I really appreciated. Responded to my messages quickly and they made the whole process convenient and stress-free. Highly recommend!”
“Beverly was AMAZING!! I have a puppy, and had to board him for a week and was very anxious to do so. She was so reassuring, spent so much time with him, and her kids and him got along amazing!! I will always rebook with her, as she took incredible care of my baby while I was away, and eased my nerves :) 100/10!”
“Jonathan is a great communicator. Our pup was very happy here for a longer stay. He loved having friends and seemed to enjoy his time. Came home just as happy as he left. Already planning to ask Jonathan to keep our dog again soon.”
“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”
“When we needed to make a quick trip to New Hampshire we scheduled a “meet and greet” to visit with Virginia and see how our recently adopted dogs would react to a stranger as they are not socialized with people. Normally they bark and are hyperactive when seeing any stranger. After five minutes they were calm and seemed to be “at home” with Virginia! Virginia cared for our fur babies for five days and we were more than pleased with the care she took with them. She has the experience and skills to make dogs “comfortable” in new surroundings. She kept us updated with photos and text messages letting us know how they were doing on a daily basis. When our flight was delayed in returning due to weather and we were several hours late Virginia was most gracious allowing us to pick up our dogs late at night as she knew we were anxious to see them… for this we are most appreciative for her understanding as well as cooperation. We can recommend Virginia without reservation and believe she loves dogs as much as we do. Virginia provides excellent care.”
“Very communicative reliable would recommend him to anyone very caring and has a very nice facility to board your dog and for it to play always responsive and always aiming to please”
“I booked with Heather last minute and it was my very first time using the app. Let me just say that Zeus’s stay exceeded my expectations. I received pictures of him playing, relaxing and just being part of the family. It felt so much like a home away from home for him. Needless to say, I will be booking again.”
About: I don't have any professional experience, but I've grown up in a family that has housed a lot of dogs and cats since I was born. We've had 4 dogs and 7 cats from my early childhood until today, so while I did obviously have the rest of my family to assist with them, I've still had firsthand experience with a lot of different behaviors and habits of these pets and how certain traits or preferences vary between them. I finished college at UGA recently, so I'm currently at home full-time. Pet care would be pretty easy to fit into my weekly schedule. I always try to make sure I feed my cat her treats once a day around the same time, so consistent feeding and cleaning wouldn't be that much harder with additional pets. I am gone some evenings on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, but other than that my time is fully open to help your pets stay relaxed, happy, and healthy. My backyard has a fence, but it's currently old and unrepaired, so the gates cannot close properly, so any pets prone to running will be staying inside or on a leash. My house is very small, but my front and backyard are very spacious, ideal for pets that are uncomfortable in small spaces. My cat can be skittish around other animals, so I will need to keep her in a separate space from them, but my family's done that with many of our cats, so it will not be a problem for the client or their pets. My roommate stays inside most of the time, so but he's also very friendly and should not pose any issues for the pets.

“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.”
“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.”
“Hollie takes great care of our three cats. She is dependable and does a wonderful job. Our babies look forward to seeing her. You know your pets are in good and loving hands with Hollie.”
“Savanna is a wonderful house sitter! She took great care of my two picky cats that demanded lots of attention and effort to make them eat while I was on a business trip. My senior cat has to be fed wet food several times a day and has digestive issues, so I booked her for house sitting instead of drop-in visits. I left long instruction notes for when & how to feed him, and she kept every little detail I asked for and was always on time for the feeding schedule. She also sent me lots of pics and frequent updates. My apt was very clean and intact when I got back from the trip. Definitely recommend Savannah for any pet sitting & house sitting needs!”
“Beverly was absolutely amazing, great communication every day with lots of pics. I felt complete at ease knowing my cats were in her care. Thanks for everything, Beverly! You are the best!!!”

About: I’ve grown up with animals and have always felt a deep love for them. My grandfather had a farm, so dogs, cats, chickens, horses, donkeys, and have loved every moment of being there. Now, my in-laws have a farm with 2 large breed dogs, goats, chickens and a mommy donkey and baby donkey which is my dream to have this as well! First thing in the morning I get my school aged girls breakfast going and the dogs and cats get their breakfast as well. The girls say their goodbyes and give loves before heading to school and the fur babies go in the backyard to play, use the potty and sunbathe or chill in the shade then back inside for some play, cuddles, or just hanging out. I really just go by what each fur baby’s preferences are. I’m a stay-at-home mom and this is my full-time job. So my day-to-day will be with your pet, loving them and caring for them just like or as close as I can to how you love and care for them. We have a large fenced in yard, but the dogs come and go in and out as they please. At bedtime they are in for the night and sleep in their crate or as we get more comfortable and see how they do on their bed or with the person they want to snuggle with that night. ***I do ask that pets are bathed before their arrival, just as a precaution for my pets, home and children. I deeply and sincerely appreciate the understanding in this request.***

About: Over the years, my husband and I have had several pets, from cats to dogs to lizards to chinchillas. At one time we had 9 indoor cats. We have a soft heart and it’s difficult to turn away a stray. Any time we see a stray in our neighborhood, we do what we can to find the owner. Our two dogs have accompanied us on many day hikes and they both love the outdoors as much as we do. One of our dogs, Rosie, was a stray that we took in at 1-year-old. She is now 16. We adopted our other dog, Clayton, at the age of one. He is now 12. We have deeply loved all of our pets and look forward to new pets in the future. The bond between humans and animals can be so special. It is something I cherish. I look forward to caring for your fury family member! I am a Yoga Teacher and teach only a few classes per week. I am also an artist. I have a lot of flexibility in my daytime schedule to care for and/or walk your pet. I am a responsible and reliable person.

“Kayla did a great job walking our dog. You can clearly tell she really loves and cares about animals, she is very easy to communicate with, and we have already booked her for more walks!”

About: Hello! Thank you for considering my services! I would love the opportunity to walk, visit, and/or care for your fur babies. 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!

“Riley is amazing! She made my dog feel very welcome and comfortable. She kept me up to date on everything , from pictures, potty breaks and water breaks. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a dog sitter/walker.”
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!

“As always, Caylei took excellent care of my disabled boy. This time, she has a bit of an emergency when he was unable to be expressed for urine. She took him with her to work where he had his bladder drained, saving him. Thank you, Caylei, for always being so competent and capable, especially with my special needs guy.”
“Diana did such a wonderful job with our pup. I swear he’s learned some new things. He doesn’t nip as much. He’s waiting before eating. Trainer and sitter in one. Thanks for taking us last minute. Really appreciate you and your family for caring for our baby.”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Jill watch my dog over the weekend, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. From the moment I met her, it was clear that Jill has a genuine love for animals and a professional approach to pet sitting. Throughout the weekend, Jill kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which really put my mind at ease. It was evident that my dog was not only well-cared for but also having a great time. Jill followed all my instructions meticulously, from feeding schedules to exercise routines, and even took the extra step to spend quality time playing and cuddling with my pup. When I returned, my dog was happy, relaxed, and well-groomed, a testament to the excellent care Jill provided. Her reliability, attention to detail, and warm demeanor truly make her stand out as a dog sitter. I highly recommend Jill to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring individual to look after their furry friends. I will definitely be booking her services again in the future!”

“Riley answered very quickly to my request, and had great communication from the beginning. She welcomed my dog and I, and sent video updates throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend her ! Thank you again Riley!”
“Beverly was AMAZING!! I have a puppy, and had to board him for a week and was very anxious to do so. She was so reassuring, spent so much time with him, and her kids and him got along amazing!! I will always rebook with her, as she took incredible care of my baby while I was away, and eased my nerves :) 100/10!”
“Jonathan is a great communicator. Our pup was very happy here for a longer stay. He loved having friends and seemed to enjoy his time. Came home just as happy as he left. Already planning to ask Jonathan to keep our dog again soon.”

“I booked with Heather last minute and it was my very first time using the app. Let me just say that Zeus’s stay exceeded my expectations. I received pictures of him playing, relaxing and just being part of the family. It felt so much like a home away from home for him. Needless to say, I will be booking again.”
About: I don't have any professional experience, but I've grown up in a family that has housed a lot of dogs and cats since I was born. We've had 4 dogs and 7 cats from my early childhood until today, so while I did obviously have the rest of my family to assist with them, I've still had firsthand experience with a lot of different behaviors and habits of these pets and how certain traits or preferences vary between them. I finished college at UGA recently, so I'm currently at home full-time. Pet care would be pretty easy to fit into my weekly schedule. I always try to make sure I feed my cat her treats once a day around the same time, so consistent feeding and cleaning wouldn't be that much harder with additional pets. I am gone some evenings on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, but other than that my time is fully open to help your pets stay relaxed, happy, and healthy. My backyard has a fence, but it's currently old and unrepaired, so the gates cannot close properly, so any pets prone to running will be staying inside or on a leash. My house is very small, but my front and backyard are very spacious, ideal for pets that are uncomfortable in small spaces. My cat can be skittish around other animals, so I will need to keep her in a separate space from them, but my family's done that with many of our cats, so it will not be a problem for the client or their pets. My roommate stays inside most of the time, so but he's also very friendly and should not pose any issues for the pets.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Kathryn while we were away for a week! Leaving Zeus for the first time was honestly nerve-wracking, especially with his medical needs, but she completely put our minds at ease. She was incredibly attentive, patient, and understanding, making sure he got all the care and attention he needed. It was clear from the updates that he was happy, comfortable, and in great hands the entire time. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better first experience, and we’ll absolutely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Bailey is our go-to person for Nero! She takes excellent care of him and always keeps us updated. We are very grateful to have found someone we can trust and count on whenever we need someone to watch him. ❤️🐕🦺🐾🦴”
“Richard….and his entire family….take such good care of our Grayson! We recommend Richard if you are considering dog care/boarding. You will be confident your dog is in the best care!”
“Tracey had excellent communication and excellent care for our dogs. When we first arrived our dogs went right up to her and were happy to be with her. She had a small fenced in yard which our goldendoodle enjoyed. We would definitely use her for dog sitting again.”
About: I've been a dog owner my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a part of who I am. Every dog has their own personality and routine, and I enjoy taking the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. One of the most meaningful parts of my experience has been caring for senior dogs and providing compassionate end-of-life care. I understand how important patience, consistency, and gentle attention are during every stage of a dog's life. Whether your pet needs medication, a slower-paced walk, extra cuddles, or simply someone to keep them company, I'm happy to provide the care they deserve. I value responsibility, communication, and attention to detail, and I'll care for your pet with the same dedication I bring to every commitment. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your dog feels happy, safe, and cared for. I truly love spending time with animals and am excited for the opportunity to give back to my community by helping local families care for their beloved pets. As a Ph.D. student, I have a flexible schedule and set my own working hours. Most of my research and academic work can be completed remotely, which allows me to spend a significant amount of time at home. I typically go into the lab for only a few hours each day and live very close to my workplace, so I often come home during lunch as well. This flexibility means your dog won't be left alone for long periods of time. I'll have plenty of opportunities throughout the day to provide companionship, playtime, and attention. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, games of fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I can also provide regular potty breaks, outdoor exercise, and enrichment activities to keep your dog happy and engaged. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine as much as possible while giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in my home, I do everything I can to help them feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications, and any special needs, so they can maintain a sense of familiarity while you're away. Throughout the day, your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime, enrichment, and affection. My home has a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely explore, play, and enjoy frequent potty breaks. I also live near a park, making it easy to provide longer walks, fresh air, and extra exercise for dogs who enjoy getting out and exploring. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized cats who are comfortable around dogs. They are calm, respectful of other animals, and have experience living alongside canine visitors. If your dog enjoys feline company, they'll have friendly companions, and if they prefer their own space, I'm happy to provide separate areas so everyone feels safe and comfortable. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I'll provide regular updates and photos while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, loved, and receiving the best possible care.
“Berkeley was immediately excited when he arrived to stay with Annette, despite being such an anxious dog. There were a few other dogs for him to play with and a great fenced in yard to run around in. They even took a trip to the dog park. I’m thankful I found Annette to provide such a safe and loving place for him to stay while we were away!”
“Buddy had a great experience. He was able to socialize with other dogs and was well taken care of. Very please with this service. Savannah was warm, kind and sent lots of pictures.”
