Booking with Felicia and Bradley was so great! From meet n greet to pick up they were very communicative and set this momma at ease. Klaus and Ecko got along well and they sent me so many pictures and videos it was like I never left. Klaus was calm on his return home which indicated to me he was happy and not anxious. Thanks again for taking such good care of him!

Diana did such a wonderful job with our pup. I swear he’s learned some new things. He doesn’t nip as much. He’s waiting before eating. Trainer and sitter in one. Thanks for taking us last minute. Really appreciate you and your family for caring for our baby.

We love boarding our dog Winston with James. We know Winston is in great hands and will have a wonderful time, so we can take trips guilt-free and worry-free. Although we have other options, we know Winston will get the most loving attention and have the best time with James. Highly recommended!

Tim has stayed with Caylei multiple times, and every time is great. He cries when we leave. Caylei was very flexible with me this time, as the weather was bad and I was nervous to drive on the day I was supposed to pick him up, so she let me add an additional day at the last minute. I really appreciate the flexibility. And as always, I appreciate that she loves my boy!

Linda is absolutely AMAZING. I had never left my sweet pups at another home while I had traveled. I always boarded them at a daycare/boarding facility. When I did a search on Rover for boarding in my area, I came upon Linda. We had a meet and greet for our pups and it was the most incredible experience I have ever had with meet and greet. I dropped my Sophie & Charlie off the day before I headed to the Bahamas and left them in the WONDERFUL hands of Linda for 6 days! Linda always kept me up to date on them with pictures, sweet words in dog talk from my "fur kids", things they experienced that day, etc. Linda is the kindest soul I have truly every met. Her farm is BEAUTIFUL, her home comfortable and clean and her family lovely! My dogs were depressed for 2 days when I brought them home! I can honestly say I will never, ever leave my dogs anywhere else when I travel! Thank you Mama Linda! Sophie and Charlie adore you and miss you and so do I!!

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.

About: Hi, I'm Alexa! I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have cared for many of my own, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs and personalities. Over the years, I’ve provided dependable pet sitting for friends, neighbors, and families in my hometown, earning their trust through consistent, attentive care. I treat every pet as if they were my own—prioritizing their comfort, safety, and happiness at all times. As a college student pursuing a degree in the medical field, I bring a heightened level of awareness, responsibility, and knowledge when it comes to overall care and well-being. I am detail-oriented, reliable, and committed to maintaining routines that keep pets feeling secure and stress-free. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I provide a calm, nurturing environment that pet owners can feel confident in. I ADORE ALL FUR BABIES! As a college student currently taking online courses, I have a very flexible and consistent daily routine that allows me to prioritize your pets care throughout the day. My schedule gives me the ability to be present for feedings, walks, playtime, and regular check-ins without feeling rushed. I don't have weekends marked as a guarantee, but I may be available and will always be open to working something out, so don't be afraid to reach out! 🩷 I care for pets like they’re my own and try to keep them as comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I stick to their usual routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and anything else they’re used to—so they don’t feel stressed while their owner is away. I also make sure to keep things clean and send updates with photos. If I’m caring for pets in my apartment, I make sure they have a safe, clean space and get plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I pay attention to each pet’s personality and what they need so they feel happy and relaxed.

About: I am an experienced dog owner and sitter. I grew up in a family that always had pets, including cats and dogs, and have owned multiple dogs since living on my own. Currently, I have one small chiweenie and regular dogsit dogs including Cocker Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, and Great Pyrenees. Shy or nervous rescue pets are no problem! I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, counter surfers, etc. Pets with medical issues are welcome as I have experience taking care of dogs and cats with a variety of issues who’ve needed everything from shots throughout the day or diaper changes or to receive mobility assistance. I also have experience caring for chickens if you need someone to care for your chicks. I work full-time, but I am done at 4:30PM every weekday except for Friday - on Fridays, I am done at 1 PM. I also have flexibility in my schedule, so I can stop by to take care of any needs during the day or work from home if a pet needs additional care. I am up early every morning to give pets plenty of time to eat and play before leaving. When I get home, the first thing I do is let pets out to potty and to play. Throughout the evening, there is plenty of time for walks and playtime before bed. . First and foremost, I will strive to match or mimic the care and routine you give your pets at home. With a fenced in yard, your pet will have a safe place to potty and play. There are also many parks nearby to take your pet on walks or provide them with socialization. Pets are able to climb on furniture, sleep on my bed, and have mostly free rein of the house — my home is their home while we’re here. However, I have a pet gate I can put up and experience crating pets (as well as crate training dogs) for any pet who can’t be left free to roam.

Aubrey replied promptly to our pet sitting request and scheduled a visit to meet our cats that evening. She was very comfortable handling and giving medication to our senior kitty with hyperthyroidism. She let us know she was coming before each visit and sent multiple photos and videos of each of our cats, including the one who likes to hide. When we forgot that we had a Chewy order coming, she unboxed the items and put them away and she brought in our deliveries. She also agreed to an extra visit on our return date, when we were worried that we would get in late. We were pleased with the care she provided to our pets and would hire her again.

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.

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!

About: Hi, I’m Kaitlyn! Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up caring for a variety of pets and developed a deep love and understanding for them from an early age. I currently work full-time at Oconee Veterinary Hospital and have several years of experience in both veterinary and pet care settings. In addition to my hands-on experience, I’m also a full-time college student studying in the medical field, which has enhanced my knowledge of animal health, behavior, and overall care. I’m highly attentive to animals’ body language and behavior, and I’m committed to providing the same level of care and compassion to your pets as I would my own. Whether you’re away for a few hours or several days, you can rest assured knowing your pets are in caring, capable hands. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pets. My schedule includes working at Oconee Veterinary Hospital and attending Athens Technical College. Despite my busy schedule, I am committed to working with you to find a time that fits both our needs—ensuring your pets receive the care, attention, and comfort they deserve. Please note that I am not currently offering pet boarding in my own home due to a recent move. However, I do offer a variety of in-home services at my clients’ residences. I make it a priority to maintain your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for while you’re away.

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!

Angela and her husband were absolutely amazing to my mini goldenoodle! I need somewhere or our dog to stay while painters painted inside our home. Angela is a gem! She was so easy to talk with and kept in touch with updates and photo. She went out of her way to make Millie feel comfortable and it worked. I think Millie would have moved in with her if I needed her to! I won’t hesitate to contact her again. She’s a superb choice for any person to wants/needs o leave their pet in a loving and caring home. Couldn’t think of anything she could do better❣️

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.

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 currently am starting my career in online teaching and content creation, which means I work from home and have a flexible schedule. With frequent walks already built into my schedule, I am a good fit for pets of any activity level! I live in a gated community with ample space for leashed walks and time in the grass for pets who are boarding. I maintain a clean, second-story apartment which includes a balcony and dog bed. I have my own transportation for at-home visits as well.

About: Hi, I'm Alexa! I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have cared for many of my own, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs and personalities. Over the years, I’ve provided dependable pet sitting for friends, neighbors, and families in my hometown, earning their trust through consistent, attentive care. I treat every pet as if they were my own—prioritizing their comfort, safety, and happiness at all times. As a college student pursuing a degree in the medical field, I bring a heightened level of awareness, responsibility, and knowledge when it comes to overall care and well-being. I am detail-oriented, reliable, and committed to maintaining routines that keep pets feeling secure and stress-free. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I provide a calm, nurturing environment that pet owners can feel confident in. I ADORE ALL FUR BABIES! As a college student currently taking online courses, I have a very flexible and consistent daily routine that allows me to prioritize your pets care throughout the day. My schedule gives me the ability to be present for feedings, walks, playtime, and regular check-ins without feeling rushed. I don't have weekends marked as a guarantee, but I may be available and will always be open to working something out, so don't be afraid to reach out! 🩷 I care for pets like they’re my own and try to keep them as comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I stick to their usual routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and anything else they’re used to—so they don’t feel stressed while their owner is away. I also make sure to keep things clean and send updates with photos. If I’m caring for pets in my apartment, I make sure they have a safe, clean space and get plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I pay attention to each pet’s personality and what they need so they feel happy and relaxed.

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.

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 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: My experience consists of watching family and friends dogs and occasionally cats. I had a small yorkie with hip dysplasia and cushings that required meds frequently and I had a black lab mix that has also passed away, who was blind in one eye and deaf. I offer companionship and exercise for your pets when you're away. I can help with training, taking them for long walks, going to the restroom, administering medications, or just being an awesome petter for your puppy (because all dogs are puppies, no matter how old). I occasionally work weekends from 8-4pm at a hotel, but am usually up very early and can walk your dog as early as 5am if needed. I have a fully Remote job and will be able to spend the majority of the day with your pets. Constant 24/7 care will have a higher nightly rate, if they are not able to be left alone in any capacity, as I will have to rearrange my schedule. When I walk my dogs, I prefer them to be in a harness for their comfort and safety. I make sure to watch the dogs closely, so if I see any signs of stress, I will promptly remove them from the situation. During the summer months especially, I will make sure to walk them early in the morning or in well shaded areas to make sure their paws are well protected from the hot pavement. I carry a dog water bottle with me on my walks, so they always have access to clean water if needed. When dog sitting, I take them out constantly, offer lots of playtime and stimulation while there, and always make sure the area is clean.

About: I've taken care of all types of dogs and have been a pet sitter since 2002. I've owned dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, chinchillas, and chickens. In college, I worked for a mobile dog groomer. I'm a marine biologist, so I work offshore often. My schedule has me at sea for 3-6 weeks and then home for a few weeks where I'm fully available to look after your fur babies! I'll be sure to keep my availability updated so you know when I'm around to help out. You know your animals and what they need to be happy and thrive, so I'll do my best to always make sure they're cared for in the way you prefer.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was ten years old for neighbors and family. I have a bachelors in animal science from UGA and currently work in a local animal clinic for cats and dogs. This clinic offers regular and medical boarding and I am comfortable with animals in all stages of life as well as those that might require a little extra time and attention. I am CPR certified and have training to administer medications and fluids and monitor critically ill patients. I work Mondays-Thursday’s 7:30-6 and can be flexible with a lunch hour to provide for all types of needs. I am open all weekends and holidays. I have one sweet medium sized fur baby who is a shepherd mix, she is friendly with all sizes and breeds. I typically care for pets in a clients home as I find this can minimize stress related clinical signs from manifesting. I love to be active and can incorporate that into your high energy pets needs or can snuggle with your low energy pet and read a book. I monitor my dogs food and water intake closely and actively observe them when outside, I treat all my pet sitting babies the same as I would my own girl.

I try my best to keep the house clean and orderly to avoid any potential danger for my pets, and would do the same for yours. For walking, leashes are always a must.

About: I've been taking care of my family pets as far back as I can remember! I have a small dog of my own who I spoil beyond belief. I love cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes and I truly believe they deserve every good thing life could possibly offer them. I've dealt with all the ups and downs of having pets from allergies, injuries, diets, and fleas to cuddles and grooming. I'd love the opportunity to meet your pet and help you give them the attention and care that they deserve! I'll be available all summer outside of the evenings Friday-Sunday due to my part time job. During the fall I'm free every Monday and Wednesday. I'll also be available from morning to noon on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. My own pets have taught me so much about caring for dogs and cats. I understand their body language when they are agitated or hurt and I pay close attention to the things that catch their eyes. Therefore, I can easily keep your pet out of trouble in and out of the house whether that be in your yard, living room, or walks. My priority is always their safety and happiness. I can easily crate dogs, keep them on their leash, and be wary of that suspicious crunch sound in their mouth when they find something they shouldn't have.

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.

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: 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 currently am starting my career in online teaching and content creation, which means I work from home and have a flexible schedule. With frequent walks already built into my schedule, I am a good fit for pets of any activity level! I live in a gated community with ample space for leashed walks and time in the grass for pets who are boarding. I maintain a clean, second-story apartment which includes a balcony and dog bed. I have my own transportation for at-home visits as well.

About: @ahartpetsitting on insta!! I’ve been taking care of animals as long as I can remember. Hermit crabs, guinea pigs, lizards, fish, chickens, you name it! I just love every animal, and I still believe that they can speak, just not when we’re in the room. I work professionally with dogs every single day as a manager of a dog care facility. I’m known for liking the “bad dogs” at work along with special needs and older pets as well (I love powdered sugar faces)! I treat each animal as my own, and I would do the same with yours! I work full time as a manager at a doggy daycare, I would be able to get you a registration forms and take your pup to work with me if you’d like! My job is very flexible so I can also come home at any point and let your pup out instead of bringing them with me. I am also open to not working during the time I care for your pet. Message me and let’s talk! If you don’t have a dog, I am more than happy to talk with you and figure out if I need to come home for breaks or not work! I care for each pet exactly how owners ask me too, just with lots of extra love! I can chill if that’s what your pet likes to do, or I can adventure. I love being outside in nature as well as cozying up on the couch :)

Tim has stayed with Caylei multiple times, and every time is great. He cries when we leave. Caylei was very flexible with me this time, as the weather was bad and I was nervous to drive on the day I was supposed to pick him up, so she let me add an additional day at the last minute. I really appreciate the flexibility. And as always, I appreciate that she loves my boy!

Linda is absolutely AMAZING. I had never left my sweet pups at another home while I had traveled. I always boarded them at a daycare/boarding facility. When I did a search on Rover for boarding in my area, I came upon Linda. We had a meet and greet for our pups and it was the most incredible experience I have ever had with meet and greet. I dropped my Sophie & Charlie off the day before I headed to the Bahamas and left them in the WONDERFUL hands of Linda for 6 days! Linda always kept me up to date on them with pictures, sweet words in dog talk from my "fur kids", things they experienced that day, etc. Linda is the kindest soul I have truly every met. Her farm is BEAUTIFUL, her home comfortable and clean and her family lovely! My dogs were depressed for 2 days when I brought them home! I can honestly say I will never, ever leave my dogs anywhere else when I travel! Thank you Mama Linda! Sophie and Charlie adore you and miss you and so do I!!

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.

We had Bailey watch our two fur babies while our daughter graduated from UGA. She took really amazing care of them. She kept us informed with text messges and pictures through out the visit. This young lady is super sweet and you can tell she is an animal lover. She had plenty of snuggles with both of them. Sadie (our lab) really loved Bailey. she gave her lots of kisses before we left like she was saying thanks for taking care of us. If you worried about leaving your pet(s) with some you are not sure of, rest easy knowing this lady is a great pet sitter. Highly rccommended.

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!

I was a bit nervous about leaving my Doodle with separation anxiety (for me as well as the dog) but Jonathan made it all good. The "meet and greet" at the dog park assured both of us that his and my dog were going to get along splendidly. I appreciated the great communication and pics that Jonathan sent to reassure me that all was well during the stay.
