“Ms Becky was absolutely Amazing with my pup Cali, and Cali enjoyed been there with Ms Becky. The one thing Cali had to adapt to Ms Becky until she was comfortable it’s turned out to be an amazing experience for her. I definitely recommend Ms Becky. She definitely took good care of Cali for a weekend while my husband and I was attending an event out of town🤗 Thank you again Ms Becky, We definitely will be back😃”

“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.”


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.
“My pup will DEFINITELY be going back to stay with Bailey again!!!! She was very attentive and caring to my dog and his needs, and she was also very communicative with me (including the most adorable pictures)!! It can be very difficult leaving your pet with someone, but knowing my dog was in great hands really put me at ease! 10/10 recommend Bailey!!!!”

“Russel is amazing! Bacon stayed with Russel for 4 days vs and one of those days we picked him up for a quick doggy play date. When we returned Bacon was ecstatic to see Russel again! Russel even had him dressed in the Jammie’s we brought for him on a cold morning. Russel went above & beyond & that was very clear. Russel is quick to respond & sends lots of pictures!”

“Sully appeared to love staying with Adam when i went to pick him up and Adam was great about sending pictures and updates throughout the weekend! He was communicative and flexible and I definitely plan on booking him again!”

“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!”

“Xionella is really nice, accommodating, and communicative. She keeps you updated with photos and videos of your pet. Theo seems to have had a wonderful time at her place.”

“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!”


About: I have always loved animals. I actually have a hard time paying attention to humans when a pet is in the room. I have grown up with several dogs, hamsters, fish, and reptiles. I have several years of dog walking and pet care experience for friends and friends of friends. I am a high energy individual and have plenty of it to share playing with and walking pets. I am happy to take care of young and old dogs and have experience administering medications. I work from home so I am available to spend time with your pet throughout the day and more than willing to send updates! I am a grad student and am very flexible and willing to take care of a variety of pets in addtion to dogs (e.g. hamsters, rabbits, birds, reptiles, fish, etc.) I am a Grad Student here at the University of Georgia. As such, I am often working from home. This means that I am available throughout the day for walks, bath room breaks, and play. Additionally, I am very active and have a lot of energy myself. I love going on walks, runs, and playing with animals. I also know animals have anxieties, fears, and stressors and am very aware of the need to respect and listen to them when they are needing a nice quiet space to process. I live in a 3 bedroom apartment by myself. I have a fenced balcony on a second story that gives plenty of space to rest outside and observe surroundings. I live in a dog friendly gated complex that has a small dog park area and is close to several parks and walking trails. I do not have any pets myself so I am completely focused on your furry family member.
“Absolutely wonderful!! So kind, sent us pictures every day and was very communicative! Our pup came back so sleepy since he had so much fun! He misses being with her pup too! definitely highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: My husband and I have owned our dogs since 2018, adopting a third in 2024. We've been fostering for a rescue for nearly 3 years- we've fostered/rehabilitated 16 dogs through adoption so far! We call them our "foster alumni" and often see them back for a weekend of pet sitting. I work a standard 9-5:30, so my availability is limited to nights and weekends. If you're nearby with a morning need, let me know and maybe we can work it out. Our pets are welcome in all parts of our home, as well as any guest dogs. We always kennel "guest" dogs when we're away. Our younger dog is still kenneled when we're gone, the older ones stay in the office. When we're here, our dogs and guest dogs have a fenced in front and back yard to play in, an easy neighborhood to walk in, and can take their pick from the toy bin in the living room.

“Olivia followed all instructions and took amazing care of my cat. We had a longer stay, and she and Garfi became very close. She communicated well with us throughout and even looked after our house while we were away. We will definitely book her again!”


“Lauren was great! She came by for a meet and greet, and the cats were excited to meet her. She asked good questions about their care. Lauren’s updates were comprehensive, and I liked reading about how the cats were doing and seeing the pictures of her playing with them. One of the cats was on a daily liquid medication, and she even included pictures of Rosie taking her medicine. I felt really comfortable leaving my kitties her care. I highly recommend Lauren!”

“Morgan is amazing!!! Our sweet kitty absolutely loved her. I was nervous at first because he can be shy around new people but Morgan was able to build trust with him almost instantly! The detailed updates and photos we received daily put our minds at ease when we were away, and we knew he was very well taken care of, and most importantly HAPPY! Morgan went above and beyond to make sure all our detailed notes were executed and we really appreciated that.”


“Sophia is really kind and easy to work with. She’s always been understanding and flexible. I’ve had her watch my cat for both long and short stays. She does walk in visits at my place. My cat definitely likes her and the litter box is always spotless when I return.”

“Sierra was fantastic. We could not have asked for a better person to pop in on Pirate. She was very communicative, friendly, and professional. She helped give our cat the medication that she regularly takes, and it was such a relief to know that aspect of her care was covered. Would happily work with her again and cannot recommend her more. ❤️💕❤️💕”

Having Sara come check on things allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying about things at home. Highly recommend her and will use her again!”

“Annette was great! Chevie, who’s normally wary of other dogs, immediately started playing with her dog and settled in well! I appreciated all the outdoor/dog park time Chevie got. She was tired and relaxed when we got home!”

“Angela is very responsive, sends plenty of updates during your dog's stay, and made our pup feel right at home! Plus she has an encyclopedic knowledge of all things canine. She was even able to accommodate a *very* last minute schedule change with no issues. I would absolutely recommend her for any of your doggy related needs!”

“Xionella did a great job caring for our 2 dogs during the day while my wife was out of town. Our dogs were walked multiple times a day and got along perfectly with Xionella’s 2 dogs. We were sent pictures throughout the day and notified of anything of concern. I would highly recommend Xionella and will use her in the future.”

Luna had a wonderful time during her play date with Marlina and her dogs!”

“Hey again! Mike wanted to tip you more since you went above and beyond caring for Murray due to our travel delays, so.. thank you again! You're the best. Hope you had a great xmas and wishing you a very happy New Year!”

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have years of hands-on experience caring for them. From high-energy dogs who need long walks to laid-back cats who just want attention and consistency. I’m confident handling different personalities and needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping your pet safe and comfortable. Working part time at Publix so pretty much on my off days i can stop by and check on the pets when you need me I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pet company. I provide a safe, supervised environment and can crate your dog if needed. I always follow your pet’s routine, keep their space clean, and make sure they feel comfortable and secure.

“Ms Becky was absolutely Amazing with my pup Cali, and Cali enjoyed been there with Ms Becky. The one thing Cali had to adapt to Ms Becky until she was comfortable it’s turned out to be an amazing experience for her. I definitely recommend Ms Becky. She definitely took good care of Cali for a weekend while my husband and I was attending an event out of town🤗 Thank you again Ms Becky, We definitely will be back😃”

“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.”


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.
“My pup will DEFINITELY be going back to stay with Bailey again!!!! She was very attentive and caring to my dog and his needs, and she was also very communicative with me (including the most adorable pictures)!! It can be very difficult leaving your pet with someone, but knowing my dog was in great hands really put me at ease! 10/10 recommend Bailey!!!!”

“Russel is amazing! Bacon stayed with Russel for 4 days vs and one of those days we picked him up for a quick doggy play date. When we returned Bacon was ecstatic to see Russel again! Russel even had him dressed in the Jammie’s we brought for him on a cold morning. Russel went above & beyond & that was very clear. Russel is quick to respond & sends lots of pictures!”

“Sully appeared to love staying with Adam when i went to pick him up and Adam was great about sending pictures and updates throughout the weekend! He was communicative and flexible and I definitely plan on booking him again!”

“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!”

“Xionella is really nice, accommodating, and communicative. She keeps you updated with photos and videos of your pet. Theo seems to have had a wonderful time at her place.”

“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!”


About: I have always loved animals. I actually have a hard time paying attention to humans when a pet is in the room. I have grown up with several dogs, hamsters, fish, and reptiles. I have several years of dog walking and pet care experience for friends and friends of friends. I am a high energy individual and have plenty of it to share playing with and walking pets. I am happy to take care of young and old dogs and have experience administering medications. I work from home so I am available to spend time with your pet throughout the day and more than willing to send updates! I am a grad student and am very flexible and willing to take care of a variety of pets in addtion to dogs (e.g. hamsters, rabbits, birds, reptiles, fish, etc.) I am a Grad Student here at the University of Georgia. As such, I am often working from home. This means that I am available throughout the day for walks, bath room breaks, and play. Additionally, I am very active and have a lot of energy myself. I love going on walks, runs, and playing with animals. I also know animals have anxieties, fears, and stressors and am very aware of the need to respect and listen to them when they are needing a nice quiet space to process. I live in a 3 bedroom apartment by myself. I have a fenced balcony on a second story that gives plenty of space to rest outside and observe surroundings. I live in a dog friendly gated complex that has a small dog park area and is close to several parks and walking trails. I do not have any pets myself so I am completely focused on your furry family member.
“Absolutely wonderful!! So kind, sent us pictures every day and was very communicative! Our pup came back so sleepy since he had so much fun! He misses being with her pup too! definitely highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: My husband and I have owned our dogs since 2018, adopting a third in 2024. We've been fostering for a rescue for nearly 3 years- we've fostered/rehabilitated 16 dogs through adoption so far! We call them our "foster alumni" and often see them back for a weekend of pet sitting. I work a standard 9-5:30, so my availability is limited to nights and weekends. If you're nearby with a morning need, let me know and maybe we can work it out. Our pets are welcome in all parts of our home, as well as any guest dogs. We always kennel "guest" dogs when we're away. Our younger dog is still kenneled when we're gone, the older ones stay in the office. When we're here, our dogs and guest dogs have a fenced in front and back yard to play in, an easy neighborhood to walk in, and can take their pick from the toy bin in the living room.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and lifelong experience caring for them. I’ve been watching and caring for dogs since I was 10, and I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the same love and attention I’d give my own. I am a nurse but only work 3 days a week, and I’d love to help out on my days off! I have weekends off :) I provide safe and attentive care for walks and drop-in visits. I always follow your dog’s routine, ensure secure entry and exits, and keep them on a safe leash at all times. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy levels, and comfort, making sure they feel happy, calm, and well cared for while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and peace of mind are my top priorities
