“Annette was professional, communicative, and proficient. She took good care of my semi-senior Yorkshire terrier. I will definitely employ Annette’s services again, and I highly recommend her as a dog-sitter.”
“Sully loves going to Adam’s place and is always relaxed when coming home. He even eats when he gets home, which is a big sign for him that he enjoyed his stay away from me! Sully takes over Adam’s bed every time and I never worry about the amount of snuggles he’s getting while I’m gone!”
“Diana was wonderful. I appreciated that she accommodated our situation on short notice and made modifications so that my dog was as comfortable as possible. Appreciate her flexibility.”
“Thank you Becky for talking care of my big goofy dog Jasper. He is looking forward to coming back to hang out. I can tell he had a restful and relaxing weekend. You're awesome!”
“Bailey was so great with our dogs and sent lots of updates and pictures! Our dogs loved her and came back happy as can be. It was so nice to have peace of mind while on our trip knowing that our fur babies were so well taken care of.”
“Xiomy was great with our boy Gunner. I got daily pics of him playing with her dog and status updates on how Gunner was adjusting in my absence. I will most definitely book again. Thanks Xiomy.”
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.
“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.”
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
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 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.

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: I’ve been caring for pets and pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was young. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including larger breeds such as Pit Bulls, XL American Bullies, and Cane Corsos. I’m comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and safety. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just lots of attention and affection, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I promise to be dependable, responsible, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I am currently a college student home for the summer and do not have another job, which allows me to offer a very flexible schedule. I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding. If your pet is staying with me, I will be home for most of the day aside from occasional errands or appointments. This allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, exercise, and companionship to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I live in a house with a yard and access to a dog park within my neighborhood, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, and enrichment. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions provided by owners and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I will provide attentive care tailored to their individual needs.
“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!”

“Sierra was fantastic. We could not have asked for a better person to pop in on Pirate. She was very communicative, friendly, and professional.

Would happily work with her again and cannot recommend her more. ❤️💕❤️💕”

“Leah was wonderful, thoughtful, and communicative! We will most definitely be booking her to cat-sit for us again next time we go out of town. Our senior cat, Buttons, has horrible separation anxiety, and Leah made sure she got plenty of one-on-one time and sent us thorough updates (plus lots of photos!). <3”

“Annette was so great with my dog Nova! Her fenced in yard was perfect for playing and sniffing, two of my dog’s favorite activities! Nova had such a fun filled day and even took a trip to the dog park nearby with Annette and her dog!”
“Absolutely amazing! My dog is so clingy with me, but she was so excited to see Angela on the second day ?. My giant mastiff can be a handful, but Angela is a confident and knowledgeable 'dog person' so Penny's exuberance didn't phase her. I loved that Angela took Penny to a dog park each day too. I also REALLY appreciated the clear and consistent communication; Angela was quick to respond to any texts I sent and gave me updates (with the most adorable pics!) throughout the day. My dog was healthy, happy, and tired each time I picked her up from Angela-- who could ask for more?”
“Marlina was fantastic, was super sweet and accommodating for our shy puppy, especially with our dog’s needs for pee pads. She was very gentle and considerate in introducing her dogs to Luna one at a time so everyone could get acquainted smoothly and successfully! We loved the pictures taken throughout the day! Luna had a wonderful time during her play date with Marlina and her dogs!”

About: After the passing of my senior dog, Fezzik, I felt the need to share my care for pets with others in my community. With experience volunteering at animal shelters and caring for senior animals, I can be the attentive caregiver your furry companion needs!

I have my own transportation for at-home visits as well.
About: I grew up with a house that was always full of animals. Dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, fish, even pet rats; I've cared for many kinds of fur babies. My family has had many breeds of dogs that I've been close to and helped raise/care for including German Shepherds, Boxers, Pitties, Terroirs, Goldens, Spaniels, Weimaraners and shelter mixes. All animals have a unique personality, and I know that some pets may take more time to adjust to a new friend than others.I have confidence that I can walk, bathe, feed and even help administer some medications for your family pet. I am a firm believer that all animals deserve love and affection. I currently have a cat, Lil Guy (crazy orange cat) and a dog, Dave (black lab/lap dog). I understand that our pets are incredibly important, and that we all want the best for them. I will treat your animals with just as much love, compassion, patience, and affection as I would my own. I am new to the area, and am looking for work that can that can sustain my financial needs. I would LOVE it if helping to care for pets became that opportunity. I am happy to come by and take your pet for a walk, a bath, a play date at the dog park, grab a bite to eat, see the vet, play with the cat, clean the litter box, and anything in between.
About: Your pet's new favorite human (after you, of course I bring veterinary experience and a foster's heart to every walk, drop-in, and boarding stay. I'm comfortable with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from high-energy pups to shy or sensitive pets who need a little extra patience. Whether we're out for a fun, structured walk or relaxing at home, I focus on keeping your pet safe, happy, and stress-free. I pay close attention to behavior and body language, so your pet feels understood and cared for every step of the way. I'm also confident with basic handling, medication routines, and keeping a clean, calm environment. Safety is always my priority-secure leashes, awareness of surroundings, and thoughtful care. You'll get plenty of updates, photos, and honest communication, so you always know how your pet is doing. With me, your pet gets more than just care-they get attention, patience, and lots of love. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I work in a veterinary hospital, and in my home, someone is always present—so pets get constant supervision, playtime, and companionship. I keep routines consistent and tailor care to each pet. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be part of our daily life. Safety and trust are my top priorities, especially when pets are staying in my home. I create a calm, structured environment where they can settle in comfortably and feel secure. My home features a fully fenced acre where dogs can safely run, play, sunbathe, or relax in the shade. I’m experienced managing multiple dogs and cats, so I carefully supervise all interactions and match energy levels to keep everyone safe and stress-free. I stick closely to your pet’s routine—including feeding schedules, medications, and preferences—so their stay feels familiar and consistent. With hands-on veterinary experience, I’m also able to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health and respond quickly if needed. Whether your dog loves to play or prefers a quieter space, I adjust to their needs and let them settle in at their own pace. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you can relax knowing your pet is in a safe, attentive, and loving environment.
About: I love animals and befriending all sorts of pets no matter how short or long my time! I have always had a pet in my life ranging from small rodents, dogs and cats. The longest pet relationships I've had are three dogs and a playful cat named Matty that took on the personality of a playful pup. For Doggy Day Care: Currently, I work from home and am able to host small dogs during the day with my own puppy. They will be housed indoors and given potty breaks every 2-4 hours. Please expect your dog to be crated if they are not potty trained and for time outs if they are too hyper. Otherwise, they are free to roam the designated doggy areas and also get to lounge on the couch! Requirements for day care: new clients must provide proof of vaccination, be on monthly parasite control, and should not have history of aggression towards other dogs or strangers. This is necessary to keep my dog safe as well as yours during their stay. Fully vaccinated puppies over 4 months old are also welcome. For House Sitting Care: House sitting is currently on hold. I have house sat for many friends and coworkers who needed dog, cat, or bunny care. I am someone who will easily befriend any pet and make sure they are comfortable throughout your absence. You can also rely on me to keep your home how you left it and am in the habit of tidying up after myself pretty well at client homes.If there are accidents, I am known to clean up or take care of things in the house for you until your return. Whenever I have plans during the stay, I would not stay away for longer than 6 hours. With permission from clients or clients that allow me to bring an additional family member, I have found it beneficial to be able to ask my sister or partner to come along and keep an eye on the pets while I'm away. :D So, if you think I am a good fit for your house sitting needs or drop ins: Please let me know what level of communication you would like throughout my assistance so I can be mindful of whether you want quiet time away or would like updates often. If I haven't heard from you, I will usually do a nightcap with photos and short stories about your pet. :-) I work from home and have a lot of freedom to take care of your dog at my own home. Your dog would follow the current routine I have for my own which is a cycle of potty, play time, nap/rest, and a walk in the afternoon. I enforce crate naps for my puppy, however, we can discuss what your dog needs. I live in an apartment complex that offers two small fields with dog potty stations. I have a lot of experience walking a variety of dogs, so you can be sure to feel safe leaving your dog with me. The front door is also blocked with a 30 inch tall pen so your dog will never be able to bolt through an open door during the stay. We will provide an extra crate for your dog here and they will be supervised most of the time while they are here.

About: Hi, I’m Phoebe! I’m a college student and a lifelong animal lover. Since having a pet of my own isn’t realistic right now, I love spending time caring for other people’s pets through Rover. I grew up with an Alaskan Malamute and was heavily involved in his care, from daily walks and outdoor adventures to plenty of cuddle time and attention at home. I also grew up with cats and have always loved their unique personalities, whether that means playtime, affection, or simply keeping them company. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, and I’ll treat yours with the same care, patience, and attention I would give my own. Spending time with animals genuinely brightens my day, and I’m grateful for every opportunity to get to know a new furry friend. I currently work on Mondays from 11-4 and Tuesdays thru Thursdays from 8-1 at the City Hall in Athens! I live close by and can stop by before or after work on most days! I do my best to follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay on their normal routine and feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I also love sending photos and updates from my visits so you can stay connected and know your pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve watched my sister’s 2 dogs quite a bit who are high energy 45 and 75 pound dogs. My roommate and I also dog sat an old lab for 5 months. I have cared for a few other dogs for shorter times, including puppies as well. I also have some experience watching and taking care of cats. I am recent college graduate currently figuring things out so most of my schedule is free currently. I am available to pet sit any day of the week and available for most times of the day. I always ensure the environment is safe for pets by making sure there is this nothing that could be dangerous for them or anything they might damage or knock over. I believe it is important to keep pets active so I will play with them and take them on walks frequently.
About: I care for pets of all ages—cats and dogs! I have a flexible schedule around school and my small business, and I keep rates low to make pet care affordable for everyone. Let me love on your pets so you can enjoy your time away worry-free! My scheduling is very flexible and I am able to care for animals in between my academics and my other nannying job! I also have a small business, but am trying to make as much money as possible to support myself as a fully, financially independent college student. You’d be doing me a huge service by helping support me and removing some of that financial burden 😊😊 I prioritize safety and comfort for every pet. I make sure to follow any feeding or medication instructions, and provide supervision at all times. I’m experienced with pets of all ages and temperaments, so you can trust they’re in good hands.
“Linda was great with my dog! She took him for a few walks while I was in Atlanta for the day. Very communicative and punctual, and did a great job with my dog for his first time on Rover!”
About: As a current veterinary student, I believe it is important to know that every pet is different. With my experiences I will be able to recognize if anything is out of the ordinary, prevent stress and harm, and openly communicate with the owner. My main priority is to make sure your pet feels safe and happy when they are under my care. My schedule is flexible for the summer! I would love to help you while you are busy or away and keep your pets safe and taken care of. I request to schedule a meet and greet to see how your pet’s space is to make sure I can follow the same routine as if you were home. I want everything to go comfortably for you and your pet(s)!

“Emory Grace is the absolute best! I trust her so much with my new puppy Sofie and I know Sofie is always excited to see her! Emory takes such good care of her and treats her as if she’s one of her own!”
“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’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes, from 10 pounds to 125 pounds, and have spent my entire life caring for them. I also successfully trained my own dog, giving me valuable hands-on experience with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I'm dependable, attentive to each pet’s unique needs, and passionate about making them feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. You can trust that your pet will be treated like family in my care! I am currently working the dinner shift at a restaurant, so I am not available to visit from 3:30 pm-11 pm. I am available at any time before then, Monday-Friday. I provide pet care exclusively in the comfort of your pet’s own home, whether through regular visits, overnight stays, or dog walking. This helps minimize stress and maintain your pet’s familiar routine. During visits, I focus on feeding, playtime, and any special needs like administering medication or litter box cleaning. For overnight stays, I make sure your pet has companionship, a cozy environment, and plenty of love while you’re away. Dog walks are tailored to your dog’s pace and energy level, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need. I strive to keep your pets happy, healthy, and relaxed in their own environment.
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
About: I’ve loved animals since childhood but could never have any of my own due to family allergies! Thus, when I needed some extra money in high school and college I turned to pet sitting! I loved creating bonds with my sitting dogs and cats and getting to make sure they were getting all the love and attention while their humans were away! During the weekdays, I have classes every morning and afternoon, but a lot of which have gaps in between that would be perfect timing for letting pups out to use the bathroom or stopping by to feed them! I am usually free most day Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for boarding and sitting! I work also as a driver occasionally late nights, so please be aware if none of my roommates are home, the dog may have to be alone for (a maximum of) 4 hours. I live in an apartment which is only a short walk from various parks and fenced grassy areas! I love to be on the go but also to stay in, so I would do whatever my sweet sitting dog preferred!
About: I've had pets my whole life. Currently, I have two of the sweetest dogs! Other than my own, I have taken care of other people's pets since I was about 15. I have cared for other animals by staying in their home over night, bringing the dogs to my home, and drop-ins throughout the day. I am very reliable and will treat your pet like my own! I’m currently working in the mornings most days with the exception of Thursdays. I am available to care for your pets in the mornings, afternoons, and nights Friday-Wednesdays. On Thursdays, I’m available mornings and nights. I’m pretty flexible, so I’m sure we can work something out to make sure your pet gets all the attention and love! Whatever your pets are most comfortable with in your home, I can do! I love to keep pets on a schedule and what they’re used to, so whatever they need I can accommodate.

“Annette was professional, communicative, and proficient. She took good care of my semi-senior Yorkshire terrier. I will definitely employ Annette’s services again, and I highly recommend her as a dog-sitter.”
“Sully loves going to Adam’s place and is always relaxed when coming home. He even eats when he gets home, which is a big sign for him that he enjoyed his stay away from me! Sully takes over Adam’s bed every time and I never worry about the amount of snuggles he’s getting while I’m gone!”
“Diana was wonderful. I appreciated that she accommodated our situation on short notice and made modifications so that my dog was as comfortable as possible. Appreciate her flexibility.”
“Thank you Becky for talking care of my big goofy dog Jasper. He is looking forward to coming back to hang out. I can tell he had a restful and relaxing weekend. You're awesome!”
“Bailey was so great with our dogs and sent lots of updates and pictures! Our dogs loved her and came back happy as can be. It was so nice to have peace of mind while on our trip knowing that our fur babies were so well taken care of.”
“Xiomy was great with our boy Gunner. I got daily pics of him playing with her dog and status updates on how Gunner was adjusting in my absence. I will most definitely book again. Thanks Xiomy.”
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.
“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.”

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.
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: I’ve been caring for pets and pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was young. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including larger breeds such as Pit Bulls, XL American Bullies, and Cane Corsos. I’m comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and safety. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just lots of attention and affection, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I promise to be dependable, responsible, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I am currently a college student home for the summer and do not have another job, which allows me to offer a very flexible schedule. I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding. If your pet is staying with me, I will be home for most of the day aside from occasional errands or appointments. This allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, exercise, and companionship to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I live in a house with a yard and access to a dog park within my neighborhood, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, and enrichment. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions provided by owners and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I will provide attentive care tailored to their individual needs.
“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!”
“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!”
“Gosh, we can’t say enough good things about Angela. She was so loving and responsive to our little Mukki. I can’t think of a better home environment than the one she so consciously provided, taking care of every detail to make sure our girl felt comfortable and well loved. We were also given daily detailed updates with the most heartwarming pictures! Angela is amazing.”
