“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. ♥️”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.
“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.”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Brandi did an amazing job! Charlotte is my sweet baby girl and I will not leave her with just anyone. It has to be someone I know I can trust to take good care of her. After our long time dog sitter retired, I was nervous about finding someone new. Brandi kept our precious little Charlotte for 10 days and she sent us updates, pictures/videos daily. She was always very responsive when I would reach out to check on Charlotte. You can tell without a doubt she genuinely loves what she does. Charlotte seemed very happy with Brandi and was very well cared for. I most definitely would recommend Brandi, and we will without a doubt book with her again. If you're looking for an amazing dog sitter who is attentive to your dogs needs, and will shower them with lots of love and attention, Brandi does all of that and more. ☺️”
“Katie P. was a great caretaker to our teacup yorkie, Baby. She kept us very updated on how Baby was doing and adjusting to her stay. Another great aspect of Katie P.'s services is the Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/StaffordPups/?hc_ref=SEARCH&fref=nf) she created to allow dog parents to keep up with their dog as much as they want! Katie is very flexible, responsive, and we even believe she taught our dog a thing or two. We will definitely rebook with her in the future!”

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.
“Brianna was a life saver when our regular cat sitter had an emergency and couldn't cat sit for our upcoming trip only a few days away. She came by the next day for a meet and greet which was so nice! During our trip she took lots of picture and gave great updates on each of our cats which I LOVED! I have a very aggressive cat and she handled him with ease. I will be using her again and I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Absolutely wonderful!!! My kitties were comfortable with her right away which allowed me to leave knowing they were in good hands!!! Everything was clean and kitties were well fed and well loved! Thanks Katie!!!'”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and love their unique personalities. I’m very patient and gentle, which helps shy or nervous cats feel comfortable. I pay attention to body language, give space when needed, and offer affection when they want it. I’m experienced with basic care like feeding schedules, litter cleaning, enrichment and play, and keeping indoor cats safe. My goal is to make sure your cat feels relaxed, loved, and cared for while you’re gone!
“Karly did a fabulous job taking care of Papaya, she was super accommodating taking on our last minute catsitting request. Highly recommend and will continue to work with her!”

“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’ll definitely be booking Sachi again the next time we’re away!”

“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.

“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.”
“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. 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.”
“My puppy came home tired out and wagged her tail to go back when she saw Mary the next time. Very busy home with lots of action and fun. Mary was very responsive, able to provide updates, and followed requests. Thanks!”
“Kristina and her boyfriend are amazing people !!! My puppy was well taken care of without me in site. Kristina also sent me a lot of good pics while he was there and kept me updated on what was going on and everything. I think I have a lifelong friend now with them both!! They have beautiful spirits and great energy to be around. I look forward for Paco to go over there again and again !!”
“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 !”
“Mandy was very easy to work with when making arrangements for daycare and was very welcoming of our pup. I received updates throughout the day which were greatly appreciated. You won’t go wrong with Mandy.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes very naturally to me. I have years of experience walking dogs in my neighborhood. I’d love the chance to get to know and care for your dogs too! When I was younger I volunteered with the Humane Society and also spent time fostering both dogs and cats whenever I could. Doing that has taught me a lot about caring for animals of all ages, and personalities. Senior dogs especially have my heart. My own dog lived to be 18 years old, so I understand the extra care, patience, and attention older dogs sometimes need. I also have experience caring for blind and hard of hearing dogs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. No matter if your pet is young and energetic or a sweet senior, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while they’re with me! I currently just moved here, I’m available full time everyday to care for your pet at my home! They will get endless love and attention from me I have a fenced yard and two small dogs of my own, one is very playful! If your dog is used to walks I can also take them for walks in my neighborhood.I’ve also pet sat for several families back in my hometown and love caring for dogs. I have a small covered area where my dogs can go potty, helping keep them safe from hawks and coyotes. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. Dogs are treated like family in my home. They’re welcome on the furniture and can sleep on the bed if that’s what they’re used to. Your pup will get lots of love, attention, and care while they’re with me!
“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.”
“Heather was great! She was very flexible and accommodating to my schedule especially on short notice. She took care of my frenchie Papi for daycare over the course of two days. She sent plenty of pictures and kept me well updated. Her two dogs played very well with him and Papi was wore out, which is exactly what I wanted!”

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 love seeing all the updates and how happy they are to see her and be spoiled!”

“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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 : )”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
