“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. ♥️”
“Nicole and her husband were both extremely nice, considerate, and accommodating! My dog has mobility problems, and they went out of their way to get floor mats to help my dog and future dogs move around their house.”
“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!”
“Ms. Alexis was absolutely amazing watching Biscuit! She was so accommodating and helpful as we had a sudden funeral to attend. Biscuit was extremely well taken care of and if you need someone who will truly love and take care of your pet, I 100% recommend using Ms. Alexis”
“Thank you Poria! Jack Jack enjoyed his stay. I loved the updates throughout his stay. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing that he was being well taken care of. I will definitely book again.”
“Ms. Valerie was an amazing host. She was flexible on drop off and pickup. She sent several updates and pictures during our dog's stay. You can tell she truly loves animals. She took care of our dog as if it was hers. I can't say enough positive things about her or her home. Highly recommended!”
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.
“Jessica was amazing!! She did so incredibly well with our dog, and sent plenty of pictures and updates. She took him on so many walks and spoiled him all weekend : )”
“Very nice and kind! Very detailed and up-to-date on everything. My puppy enjoyed his stay. I would highly recommend Ms. Cassie! I don't have any complaints. Thanks for your hard work and dedication!”
“We had a great experience! Daisy was well taken care of, Whittney was great communicating while we were away, and our fur baby was excited to stay! Thank you again and we can’t wait to bring her back.”
“Samantha always provides my dog the best care and service. I could tell he was happy and enjoying every minute of his stay. She always provides great photos. And super accommodating which I greatly appreciate.”
“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.”
“Sarah was super great at communication, keeping us updated on her mood and eating, and sending pics. Their place was the perfect mix of playtime fun and able to have her own safe space.”
“Rachel and Logan and the absolute best! Our golden retriever Hank loves going to play and stay with them and they pups when we are out of town. He always has a blast and we can rest assured knowing that he is in great hands. Rachel sends pictures and videos each day (as many as you want) to let us know what he’s up to. I especially love that she is home with the dogs during the day and Hank gets so much time to play. He plays all day with her two labs (who are so sweet and fun to play with). If you are considering a pet sitter these are the best people for the job!”
“Terry is the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! She always has time for my Ruby and Ruby adores Terry and her pets! She always sends twice-daily updates and even kept an eye on Ruby’s medical conditions, when she had them. She’s a fantastic sitter and we will continue to use her in the future!”
“Donna did such a great job taking care of my little kitty boy Sebastian while we had flooring done in our home. Thank you so much Donna for your kindness and I will definitely be in contact in the future when I need a trusted person to care for my pet.”
“My dogs had a great time with Joshua! I got lots of photos and updates. You could see how happy they were in the pics. He took great care of my 5 month old puppy and administered her medicine. So I'd definitely recommend him for your puppies and older dogs. They got lots of playtime outside but they were also kept inside with people and other dogs so they were not left lonely. Socializing is very important to me as my dogs are inside dogs and used to being with people. It was a great experience for us and we will definitely book again.”

“Dorothy was a phenomenal cat-sitter. For reference, we were first-time cat owners and had many concerns and questions and Dorothy addressed all of them with ease. She went above and beyond with waste disposal, area cleanup, cat feeding/playing, and general monitoring. We'll definitely be hiring her again for future trips and highly recommend that you do too”
“Amanda was absolutely awesome! This was the best stay for our cat Baxter who has a chronic health condition.

About: I have taken care of numerous cats in my life, wanting to keep things clean for them and scrubbing out the litter box with soap and water every few weeks. I have never met a cat who didn’t warm up to me and recognize the Cat Person in me.
“I am so happy that Sachi was available to watch our cat while we were away! She is amazing with animals and took such great care of my cat. We received so many photos and updates and it really helped me to enjoy my time away and not worry about him because I knew he was in such great hands. We’ll definitely be booking Sachi again the next time we’re away!”
About: From when I was 15 years old to 18 years old, I supported a local cattery. I have no problem with dirty litters or sensitive kitties. I also have experience administering injection, oral, and inhaler medicine to kittens and cats.
“Julia did an awesome job looking after my babies. She always made sure to take good pics of them to send to me and made sure they were well taken care of. Would definitely recommend her and definitely will be using her again. Thank you so much!!”
“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. We really appreciated the daily updates and pictures! I would recommend Sally to anyone who needs their fur baby taken care of!”
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.
“Samantha took exceptional care of our kitties while we were away for a lengthy time. We felt very comfortable leaving them knowing they were in good hands. We definitely recommend her!”
About: I grew up with cats and was always around cats at my friend’s homes. Even though they may not be as energetic as dogs, they deserve just as much love and attention. I understand that some cats may not like as much attention or cuddling. I am able to read their body language and understand their personalities to know what level of affection they like. I have taken care of older cats and kittens, and will cater to what needs they may have.
“Emily, is the best! This is the second time we used her. She treats our fur babies like they were hers. Her personality is fabulous and connects with the animals right off the bat. Thank you Emily😊”

“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!”
“Cassie is absolutely wonderful. She has a calm spirit and was great with my puppy. She's excited to see Cassie everytime we visit. I got pictures, video and even a little training for my puppy. If you're looking for someone professional and who will take great care of you dog, Cassie should be your first choice.”
“Aliyah was very kind, accommodating I book last minute and she still told my babies, they had a great time came home and went to straight to sleep. I would recommend and definitely will be booking again.”
“Michelle was a joy to work with , she kept me updated on my pup with pictures and videos his entire stay and her dog Max is a gentle giant he made Dash feel welcomed”
About: I've had dogs of all sizes and ages since childhood. My husband faithfully walks the dogs at least once a day. We have two small dogs who love to play and run. We would love to have your dogs here with us well-taken care of while you are away! Tessa is a stay-at-home mom who occasionally babysits or subs at school. 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
“Karen is amazing with my dog when he stays with her for daycare. She is very patient and is always able to make sure he is comfortable and happy. She also takes the time to play with him and make sure he is having fun. I always feel confident leaving my dog with her knowing he is in good hands.”
“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.”
“Amazing Dog Sitter! She's so flexible and helpful, she is a fantastic communicator and I feel comfortable leaving my baby with her any time. Sunny was always excited to go see Brittany and Rocko! It was like having a friend love my dog for me when I couldn't. Definitely recommend!”
“Terry is very kind and knowledgeable about dogs. She sent pictures that reassured me Obi was getting along with the other dogs in Doggy Day Care. It was nice to see he was with friendly dogs and was getting along as “one of the pack.” She is also very communicative. Will use again if needed for sure !”
“Natalie was great! I brought my dog for daycare multiple days per week for 4 weeks and she was well cared for. Natalie was responsive and very kind. I will book her again if I need doggie daycare again.”
“My dog had a wonderful time Veronica‘s care. She got along so well with her dog and we received regular updates, pictures and videos throughout her stay. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: 👋 Hello! With over twenty years of experience caring for dogs, I am dedicated to providing loving pet care that prioritize the well-being and happiness of your furry family members. As an anxious dog mom myself, I know what it's like to leave your baby and I know how valuable it is to find someone who loves your pet and watches over them like you do. ⭐️ The only service I offer at this time is Doggy Day Care for senior or well trained dogs. I accept one dog at a time. 🐶 I have a dog, Dolly, who is 9 years old and very sweet — she is getting older and becoming less patient with hyper dogs which is why I'm only accepting older dogs or those with a similar temperament. 🏡 My home is 100% dog friendly — they will have access to couches, a fully fenced backyard perfect for sunbathing and running around, and a sunroom where they can relax even if the weather is bad. I work from home full time and have a flexible schedule. 🌿 As an avid walker, I enjoy taking long walks and will give your dog opportunities throughout the day for a good walk around the neighborhood, or if they're up for it, along the Augusta Canal which is accessible from our house. ✨ I always let dogs set the pace and give them time to sniff as much as their heart desires — sniffing and exploring can be as physically exhausting as running! ⭐️ Dogs are always kept on leash during walks to ensure their safety and minimize risks. Dogs can be unpredictable, so I avoid interactions with unfamiliar dogs. I don’t do dog parks. 💊 I am experienced and comfortable in administering medications of all forms. Your pet's health and safety are my top priorities, and I will follow any necessary guidelines or instructions with precision and care. I am First Aid Certified for Dogs and Cats with the American Red Cross. 🩺 take great care to ensure that the pets receive their medications on time and in a stress-free manner. It takes some animals a while to warm up to a new person administering medication, so I'm happy to take my time the first few visits. ⏰ I work from home on a very flexible schedule and have freedom to structure my day as needed. Your pet will never be left alone longer than an hour if I have an errand I need to run! 📸 Communication is key and I'll always keep you informed about your furry companions. I provide regular updates, including photos and detailed notes, so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is well cared for. Your dog will have access to all surfaces in the home — whatever makes them comfortable! I separate your dog from mine during feedings to make sure no accidents happen — my dog can be snippy around food so I take precautions whenever it's meal or snack time.
“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. She sent us multiple pictures and updates through out the day because she knew we missed him and its Charlie and ours first time leaving him with someone else. 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.”

“Amanda is fantastic! Tito loves her and so do we. We are so lucky to have found her and highly recommend her. She’s an absolute professional, extremely knowledgeable in caring for animals and a wonderful person!”
“Dorothy was such a pleasure and our dog loved her. She was so wonderfully accommodating. Dorothy will definitely be our go-to for future needs (as her extremely busy schedule allows).”
“Nicole was fantastic with my dog! My dog is very skittish with strangers and she was able to get her to open up in just a few short visits! She provided pictures and gave me piece of mind while I was away. Highly recommend ☺️”
“Sachiho has been so wonderful! Our sweet babies sure love her. I am currently not in state ( my husband and I just moved to GA and I won’t be able to join until July) so I haven’t seen them in a few weeks and her pictures have left my mind so at ease. I love seeing all the updates and how happy they are to see her and be spoiled!”
“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 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!
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.

“Was in a slight pinch on time, but thankfully Zaylie was available and fit my girl Donna into her schedule! She came back exhausted every night she went out for a walk. Really enjoyed her punctuality, attitude and overall nice person to work with! Definitely will be booking again :)”
About: How owners want there furry friends to be loved is how they will be expected and treated the best way possible! They will be cared for in the best way possible. I let out or walk dogs in the morning and during my lunch time I walk them again and right after work I walk them again. And right before bed I walk them again. How ever the owner wants me to take care of there furry friend I take care of them how they are expected to be loved

About: Hello! I have been taking care of personal and family pets since around the age of 7. I love taking fur babies on walks and trips to the beach :) I am currently working part time, and from home so it makes taking care of your four legged children even easier! My schedule is super flexible. Unfortunately my yard is not fenced however, the yard is only used for potty breaks. When some exercise is wanted, a walk or a trip to the park usually is best :) I also have tons of toys and cat nip, along with one dog crate and one cat crate if needed.

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.

“Rachel and Logan and the absolute best! Our golden retriever Hank loves going to play and stay with them and they pups when we are out of town. He always has a blast and we can rest assured knowing that he is in great hands. Rachel sends pictures and videos each day (as many as you want) to let us know what he’s up to. I especially love that she is home with the dogs during the day and Hank gets so much time to play. He plays all day with her two labs (who are so sweet and fun to play with). If you are considering a pet sitter these are the best people for the job!”
“Terry is the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! She always has time for my Ruby and Ruby adores Terry and her pets! She always sends twice-daily updates and even kept an eye on Ruby’s medical conditions, when she had them. She’s a fantastic sitter and we will continue to use her in the future!”
“My dogs had a great time with Joshua! I got lots of photos and updates. You could see how happy they were in the pics. He took great care of my 5 month old puppy and administered her medicine. So I'd definitely recommend him for your puppies and older dogs. They got lots of playtime outside but they were also kept inside with people and other dogs so they were not left lonely. Socializing is very important to me as my dogs are inside dogs and used to being with people. It was a great experience for us and we will definitely book again.”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care Steven provided for my pup, Abby! From the moment we met, it was clear he had a natural connection with dogs and a genuine love for animals. Abby was happy, well-exercised, and clearly well-loved while I was away. Steven kept me updated with messages, which gave me great peace of mind. It’s always a little nerve-wracking to leave your pet with someone new, but Steven exceeded all expectations. I returned to a happy, healthy pup. Highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. I’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future!”
“Emily was such a great caregiver for us! She sent photo and video updates throughout the weekend. Beaux made himself at home immediately and we felt at ease leaving him in her care. I would highly recommend and we will use her services again!”
“Mrs. Tamara and her family has taking amazing care of my handsome guy, Kobi, Great Dane, with unconditional love! Going on two years of knowing this family, I wouldn’t ask of anyone else. He’s definitely spoiled rotten and knows when he’s going to their home. Love you guys so much! Thank you!”
“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!”
“It was my first time using Rover and I loved it! She is attentive and understanding. You can tell she loves the animals that she takes care of. With it being my first time away from my dog, especially with Maxi being under the care of a stranger, I was worried and have been missing her even more. Genesis gave me updates and sent me pictures of Maxi, which calmed my nerves. 10/10 would definitely book again!”
