“Nicole is amazing- from booking to pickup she made everything easy and was incredibly accommodating and flexible when my flight got delayed. The dogs came home totally relaxed having had a great weekend with lots of love and attention. We’ll definitely be bringing the girls to Nicole again!”
“Jennica is amazing with my Luka! She is wonderful on keeping in touch with me while I’m away and sends pictures and updates through out the day. She is the sweetest and has been available when I need her. I’m at ease where ever I go because I honestly trust that my fur baby is in good hands and well taken care of. I’m so happy I found her. ♥️”

“My pet Herman was very well cared for. He was happy and calm when I came to pick him up. The pictures and communication was many times a day and that made me feel very secure. I will definitely use Cassie again.”
“Charles did an amazing job taking care of Kenji. From daily updates and photos to ensuring Kenji had walks and playtime. Kenji got along well with Knox, who is a Dalmatian as well. Kenji was happy when I returned, and it was a huge relief to know he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Charles for anyone needing a dependable and caring dog sitter!”
“Courtney is/was AMAZING from the meet & greet until the pickup! She sent us updates, pictures, and videos of my fur baby. She loved him just like he was her own. I could not have come across a better sitter. I almost don't want to say how great she was so I can keep her to myself, but if you book with her you will not be disappointed. We have a sitter/friend for life. Thank you Courtney, you are the greatest!”

“Steve took care of our goldendoodle, Sully, for four days, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience. From the start, he was professional, attentive, and genuinely caring. The biggest comfort for me was knowing Sully wasn’t cooped up in a kennel while we were away — he was in a loving, attentive environment where he was treated like family. Steve clearly takes pride in what he does, and it shows in the way he cares for the dogs entrusted to him. My heart was completely at ease the entire time, which says everything. Sully came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. From here on out, Steve will absolutely be our go-to pet sitter. We are so grateful for the exceptional care he provided. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m a psychology major at Augusta University and currently work as an RBT supporting autistic children, which has made me patient, attentive, and very comfortable building trust through positive reinforcement. I’ve loved dogs my entire life, especially after owning and training my German Shepherd for 8 years, and I now have a puppy of my own who keeps me enjoying daily walks, park time, and training every day. (For boarding, she would stay with my family so your pet would have my full attention and a calm space.) I especially like working on basic positive reinforcement with treats or a clicker when wanted. I love petting and getting to know every dog I see, so any chance to spend time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy. I have open availability! Sometimes I may have an appointment or time commitment, but generally I am free throughout the week. I don’t have any scheduling or preference issues with overnight, extended, or evening hours either. I live in a townhome with a fenced patio. The patio has dirt/grass for going potty, a concrete center, and a backdoor that opens to a walking path. I have two floors with the bottom floor being hardwood (accident friendly!). For crate-preferred pets I have a 48in kennel (deep cleaned before and after use), or if crate-averse there is a guest bedroom that would be situated. I bring my own doggy bags and leash, but can use whatever is preferred. If desired I also have Buddy Trainers mini training treats that can be used for positively reinforcing your pet. My default approach is to focus primarily on your pet’s comfort rather than training, with the option of passive training being added into that approach. If boarding, I could take your pet on walks around the very dog-pro community where there are consistently opportunities to socialize, explore, and play in the paths available. Also with boarding my puppy would not share the space and would be at my family’s throughout your pet’s stay. Regardless of whether your pet is boarding at my home or if sitting at your’s, I have no problem deep (and properly) cleaning any accidents that come up. My approach with all pets, especially dogs, is positive reinforcement through doing things they enjoy. I try to set your pet up for success by matching their energy and minimizing any reason to feel anxious, sized up, or uncomfortable in general.
“Extremely knowledgeable in her medical care for pets. She takes creat care to ensure your pet stays healthy, and has an emergency plan in place. She even gave me recommendations on what I can do to keep my babies healthy. Would definitely recommend for pets needing more detailed attention.”
“What a great dog sitter. I got constant pictures of my dog and Samantha even dealt with my dog’s marking issues! Very patient and a true dog lover. I will be requesting to take my dog back!”
“My Freya enjoyed her stay with Emily, her family and her dogs. Freya looked so happy in the pictures and videos Emily sent. I felt my dog was in a safe place and well taken care of which was very reassuring when you are out of town.”

“Meaghan was great with my two cats, Gemini and Leo. Leo has been having some digestive issues and I was looking for someone that would feel comfortable handling any problems and knowledge of these typical issues we can have with our pets. Meaghan was perfect in this regard as she is in veterinary school and actually had some great suggestions for me to try during our meet and greet. I also needed someone that could keep the cats in their routine and be with them most of the day. Meaghan does classes online so met this need fully. I plan to book with Meaghan again for my next vacation.”
“Sally communicated very well throughout our time away from home. She made sure our kitten, Izzy was taken care of and even took the time to show her love and attention during her visit.

About: I have a genuine love for animals and experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and creating a calm, safe environment. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to detail so your pets feel secure and you feel confident while you’re away. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, so I naturally build it into my everyday routine. I make time each day for walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, and I’m available throughout the week and on weekends to keep pets happy, comfortable, and on their normal schedule. I treat every client’s home with the same respect and care as my own, creating a calm, secure environment for your pets. I follow all instructions closely—from feeding routines to home preferences—and make sure doors, gates, and safety measures are always properly secured. I’m attentive, dependable, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pets and home are in good hands.

If you're looking for someone professional and who will take great care of you dog, Cassie should be your first choice.”
“My dog loves this woman. She did a few drop-in visits for us prior to in-home daycare. We pulled up to her home and, when she saw Chelsey, my timid pup went trotting into Chelsey’s house like she forgot I existed (she was excited to see me at pickup, so no hard feelings lol). Have already booked her again!”
“Charles was awesome and took very good care of Tucker. We were in town for a tournament and he was very understanding when our last game ran into double overtime causing us to be 1/2hr late for pick up. It seemed that our pup didn’t travel too well and had a sensitive stomach during his stay, Charles took very good care of Tucker despite his stomach upset. Very grateful he was in good hands!”

If we accept your reservation, she will be here at home to take care of the dogs as needed. We have a fully fenced yard. We usually leave our doggie window open except in extreme weather, so your dog can go in and out as desired. We have a dachshund mix and a shiz tsu/ poodle who would love to keep your dog company
“Brandi did a great job with Rocky. It was his first time with a sitter and I was very apprehensive about how well he would settle in. He ate, pottied, played, napped and had a good time. Brandi communicated throughout the day and really made me feel more comfortable that she was taking good care of him. I would not hesitate to book with her again. Thank you Brandi.”

“Alexcis did a great job at making us feel comfortable during our meet and greet before leaving our Charlie for doggy day care. She asked us important questions about Charlie so that she was prepared to make sure his stay was a positive one.

I’m very glad to have had her take care of Charlie and we 100% will have her take care of him in the future.”

“Dorothy is amazing. She has been doing routine walks with my dog for a while now. She’s the ultimate professional (reliable, prepared, and responsive), but also brings an incredible amount of warmth and caring to her visits. She’s been so wonderfully patient with my reactive dog and has gone above and beyond by finding ways to help her interact with her surroundings more harmoniously. Cannot recommend Dorothy enough!!”

About: I have 5 dogs at home ranging from a small Yorkie mix to a large lab-pit mix! I am used to taking care of dogs of all sizes and breeds and look forward to meeting your dog! I am a full time student with plenty of free time in the afternoon! I would love to fill my free time with dog walks! I live with roommates with dogs and have 5 dogs at home, so I believe in treating every dog like they are my own! Your dog will be in good hands and will get all the love and attention they deserve!
About: I grew up with pitbulls, blue heelers, and cats. I currently have two fur babies named Theodore and Jax (who are living a 5 star luxury life 🐾). My friends reach out to me if they need help with caring for their doggies. I’m trustworthy and will respect your instructions! I will not do anything or give anything to your pup unless it’s specifically stated beforehand or I ask you first. I do not have children so it’s easy for me to be flexible in caring for your baby! I will provide loving care, and most of all, keep you updated and send plenty of photos to give you the reassurance that your pup is safe and cared for. I LOVE plants, so if there’s any plants you need watered while you’re away, I’d happily do so! I currently do not work. I mostly tend to my fur babies or my garden most days. I am doing college online but it is very flexible. My schedule is pretty flexible! Unfortunately, I cannot take care of animals in my home. We are renting and our lease states we have to have prior approval and charge a fee if another animal will be residing with us. My corgi (Theodore) is a bit of an introvert as well and does not enjoy other animals (other than Jax) in his space. I am able to drive and take care of your pet in your home! I don’t mind taking multiple trips if that will put you at ease about your pet!

I take your pet on walks along the Augusta Canal, downtown on the river and also on campus at the Summerville Campus at Augusta University. If your pet sleeps in the bed or on furniture, then this is their home away from home, their very own staycation with lots of love and attention. I am retired and am available 7 days a week for house sitting in your home or for your pet to stay in my home, I only care for one pet at a time, unless an owner has two. I have a fenced in backyard where they can run or hang out. If a pet is allowed on furniture and sleeps in bed, then they can do that in my home. I adhere to all care instructions an owner provides.
“Monica took great care of our dogs while we were out of town. She was very punctual and the dogs loved her. We have some webcams to keep an eye on the doggies when we are out and they were always excited when Monica arrived.”

About: I have always had at least two dogs in the house, everything from Golden Retrievers to Great Danes. I have also been dogsitting for friends for the past few years, including walking, feeding, and playing around with them for days at a time. I am a sophomore college student, so I am happy to watch dogs around my class schedule. Currently, I am taking classes Monday - Friday morning, but I am fully available on the weekends and in the afternoons after class. While I am there, I normally let the dogs out and play around for a little while, or take them for a walk. I will make sure any messes they make are clean, and that they have a clean and tidy area. I fill up their water, feed them, and give them any medications or treats they may need. I am happy to do anything you need me to do for your fur baby! I will also give you regular updates, and I will keep your number on standby should anything happen.
About: I grew up with dogs and had a special bond with my family’s dog in college. She loved when I would take her on an “interval run.” I recently successfully fed my friend’s five dogs. Please, I would love to meet your dog(s) with you there to get to know them first. I am officially insured and bonded through Pet Sitters Associates in case of an inopportune incident taking place while my clients’ pets and homes are in my care. Insurance certificate available upon request if we move forward with a meet-and-greet. I work full-time 8 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. I don’t mind getting up early to check on your fur baby. I work in the 30904 zip code, so I could potentially check on them during my hourlong lunch break if you live close enough. I work to ensure that a pet who is not allowed outside a certain door stays inside. When I fed my friend’s five dogs a couple of months ago, I was told one was an escape artist, but I successfully left out of the front door without her getting out. Please let me know what command words your pet is familiar with.

“Excellent experience all around. This was our first time leaving our unsocialized dogs anywhere outside the home they know. Joshua's experience in training and socialzing dogs was apparent in their demeanor in the daily updates. Getting daily picture updates kept our minds at ease as well.”
“I needed a sitter last minute and my regular sitter was out of town. Janai was very accommodating at sitting up a meet and greet and took the time to introduce Mickey to all of her dogs one by one. Mickey is VERY skittish and scared of new people but meeting her dogs helped him relax some. I was nervous leaving him with a new sitter but Janai was very good at communicating and sending me pictures. She also added on bathing and nail trim to his services with my permission, so he was fresh and clean when I picked him up. Will definitely bring him back in the future!”
“Bennie loves Becca. I love knowing that he is so well taken care of when I'm away. Thank you Becca! She even dressed him for Halloween and had him help with Thick-or-Treaters! I could not ask for a better sitter. Luv you Becca!”
“Jess was absolutely terrific! She made us feel so comfortable and assured that our furbaby was going to be in great hands. Great updates with super cute photos of our pupper throughout our trip. When we picked her our pup was so happy and jess even printed out an amazing photo of our baby! I highly recommend Jess And will contact to her again for our next trip.”
