She’s phenomenal in providing picture and videos with daily recaps throughout our dogs stay. Hazel truly was living her best life while we were gone :) thanks so much Julie!!”

“Lauren was absolutely amazing taking care of our cats while we were away. She kept us consistently updated with messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she really took the time to get to know each of them. Our more social cat warmed up to her right away, and even our shy one started to come around by the end. She went above and beyond with little things like leaving treats, checking all feeders and bowls, and making sure everything in the house was in great shape. She was also super communicative and flexible with timing, which we really appreciated. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like her own. We fully trust her and will absolutely be using her again. Highly recommend!”

She is extremely reliable and trust worthy, and has taken great care of our kitten while we were away, going above and beyond with playing with him and giving lots of photos and cute updates.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Mechanicsville
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“We are so grateful for Samma & Richard for being available to watch our puppy last minute. She had the time of her life and I loved the photo and video updates while we were out exploring. We highly recommend them and will be using them again if we’re ever in the Atlanta area!”
About: My husband and I are experienced dog owners in a multi-dog household, including both senior and high-energy dogs. We are calm, attentive, and intentional in our care, which helps dogs feel safe and settled quickly. We focus on structure, routine, and understanding each dog’s unique needs — not just supervision. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your dog is cared for as if they were my own. We intentionally limit the number of dogs we care for so each one receives personalized, thoughtful attention. Caring for dogs is already a natural part of our daily life. We live in a structured, dog-centered household and plan our days around consistent routines for walks, meals, playtime, and rest. I’m home regularly and attentive throughout the day, which allows us to provide hands-on care rather than leaving dogs unattended for long stretches. On a weekly basis, we maintain predictable rhythms that help dogs feel secure: consistent schedules, familiar routes, and clear expectations. Because this routine is already established with my own dogs, integrating additional dogs feels seamless rather than disruptive. We have a large fenced yard where your dogs can play either alone or with my pups. We have both younger, high energy dogs and a senior dog, so we can tailor the right fit with your pup. We live in a quiet neighborhood near two parks if your dogs prefer walks. We can administer medications and tend to minor medical issues like stitches/Elizabethan collars.
“Akeeme is AWESOME! We have booked both overnight boarding and daycare with him and he made us feel super comfortable each time we dropped off our pup. He shared updates and videos throughout the visit, was flexible with drop off and pickup times, very responsive every time we messaged, and overall treated our dog like his own. We are very grateful we found Akeeme!”
About: I grew up with a sweet dachshund and have been a dog-lover ever since! Andrew and I both work from home full time, and that makes us the go-to pet sitter for neighbors and friends. We’ve had experience with both active dogs and those that might need a little more care and patience. We love having a new friend around to keep us company! We both work fully remote jobs and therefore can give your fur-baby all the attention they may need! We always aim to go out at least 4 times a day, but can adhere to your pet’s specific schedule. We offer flexible boarding availability throughout the week and weekends. For any weekend bookings, we do ask that your pet be comfortable being alone for at least a couple of hours since there may be instances where we will be out of the house running errands. While we don’t currently have any pets of our own, our pet-friendly apartment will cater to your furry friend’s comfort. We live on the Beltline making it the perfect setting for long walks or quick potty breaks. We’re more than happy to accommodate your pet’s needs, whether it is crating them or something else.
About: I have years of experience and love animals! I volunteered at pet rescues and shelters. I also babysat pets before so I’m an all around care taker for animals. I can’t wait to see your fur babies!! I am self employed. I have my own fashion business that allows me to have free time to do other things I love to do such as this! I will basically go based off how your fur baby likes to be treated and also if you have any instructions that I can go by to make sure I’m doing the absolute best I would love that!
“Jennifer and Nick were so great! I had a meeting near the airport and dropped my dog Toby off with them from 7-2:30. He played all day with their dogs and came back wonderfully tired and happy. They kept me updated throughout the day and sent photos and videos. Toby developed a major crush on one of their dogs and was clearly so happy and satisfied when I picked him up. If you need doggie daycare near ATL I highly recommend Jennifer and Nick!”
“Tomomi and her dog Cooper are so great with my dog Luna! I appreciate the flexibility and ability to accommodate last minute requests. And it’s not to not have to worry about my sweet girl because I know she is taken care of!”
“My dog is always happy and tired after going to stay with Hope, and very happy to arrive. Hope is very fast to respond to messages and always sends photos. The yard is amazing!”
“Anisha was so great to work with! Very communicative and helpful with setting up a care plan, updating is through the day on how Major was doing. Thank you so!!”
About: Hi, my name is Enni and I have been working with dogs and cats for about 12 years. It is a true passion of mine to work with pets. I love them and they love and trust me a great deal. I have tons of experience with people and dogs. Drop your baby off, or I would be more than happy to pick them up to take them to their home away from home filled with love. I have experience as a Kennel Tech for over 6 years. I worked as a room attendant at a Veterinarian clinic and a Veterinarian Assistant. I am also an Professional Pet Stylist. I had pets since the age of 5 years old. Animals are my life! My love for them runs deep.
“Such a sweet and welcoming couple! Felt very comfortable and was updated with photos. Loved having the peace of mind that my dog had a buddy to play with and got the attention he needs. Will be using their help again soon!”
“5 stars! Danielle was amazing. She accepted a very last-minute request to watch my pup and, from the pictures, he lived the life of luxury! She has great energy and was very accommodating. I will book with her again.”
“Lori was wonderful at caring for our fur babies while we visited the Aquarium. This was our first experience leaving then with someone they weren't familiar with, and it went great. She was very good with sending updates and pictures. You could tell they got plenty of attention and we're very comfortable with Lori.”
“Tevin was great. He was quick to reply when I needed last minute help. It seems like my pup had the best time and a day full of fun activities. I got lots of videos and updates. Glad I was able to book with him!”
“Wonderful experience! As out-of-towners staying at an Airbnb, her flexibility with our changing schedule and the convenient pickup service were huge lifesavers. Our dog is typically a little nervous around strangers, but she was incredibly patient, gentle, and kept us updated with great pictures the entire time. We will absolutely use her again next time we are in the area! In fact we booked her again the next day and everything went smoothly, my dog hopped right into her car and seemed very relaxed when she came back.”

“John has been walking my foster pup Strawberry for six weeks. He is diligent with her, and never forgets the water and treats at the end of the walk. He is communicative and helpful with scheduling. I highly recommend John!”
About: I am experienced with all levels of dog care, ranging from staying overnight to watch my neighbors golden retriever to walking my cavapoo daily. I love all kinds of dogs and am fully experienced in whatever job you may need! I am a college student currently home for the summer, so I am completely free to help you out whatever way you may need or see fit! At home I am very used to using a crate and a leash to care for and walk my dog around the neighborhood, while also having experience letting my dog play in our fenced backyard and lay on our couch. Overall whichever lifestyle fits your home better I am experienced and ready to adapt!

“Rian was amazing! We had a last minute emergency, and she saved the day. Our dog was happy and well cared for in our absence. Rian was flexible, professional, and had no trouble managing a dog who is, perhaps, more difficult than most.”

“Danielle is the absolute best!! She’s a great communicator and takes care of my puppers very well. I’m so happy to have found her here. Thank you so much.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog as if they were my own. I grew up with dogs, so being around them comes naturally to me, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I also regularly care for my nephew (a high-energy Goldendoodle) and my niece (a small Papillon), so I’m comfortable handling both larger, active dogs and smaller breeds with different needs and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable—whether your dog needs lots of playtime, structured routines, or a calm, gentle approach. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I work full-time, but I’m available after 5 PM on weekdays and fully available on weekends. I also work from home occasionally, which gives me extra flexibility for daytime care and check-ins. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine in their own home. I follow all instructions closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care—while giving them plenty of attention and affection. I adapt to each pet’s needs, whether they’re high-energy and need exercise or prefer a calm, relaxed visit.
“I’ve booked Anisha couple times, and every experience has been great. She’s very flexible and understanding whenever something unexpected comes up, which makes things so much easier. Always a great help and someone I can count on! Thanks Anisha!”

About: Hello! I am fully booked till August and will only be taking requests from returning clients for June and July. I apologize for any inconvenience. If your booking dates for the month of August and onward and you’re a new client, please feel free to contact me! Thank you! My goal as your pet’s sitter is to be attentive to and anticipate your fur baby’s needs while their person is away. Growing up, I always loved animals and took care of hamsters, cats, and dogs. I am gentle and loving while allowing the animal to take the lead with contact. I always respect animals’ autonomy and will always strive to make them feel comfortable and safe. I am available to become your regular go-to sitter or a helping hand when you need one on occasion! My schedule is flexible and can accommodate your pet’s care as you need it to! Your furry family members are my top priority as you are away. I will ensure your pet sticks to their routine as you dictate it and feels comfortable despite your absence.
