âIâm very happy that I had opportunity to meet Anais and she provided home away from home for my fur baby. She provided pictures of my fur baby along with her beautiful daughters. Iâm definitely would recommend her and I will be using her caring heart and love again for my fur baby. Thank you.â

âLuis provided amazing care for our pup. His house and backyard are cozy and the perfect retreat for dogs. He kept us updated with photos and peace of mind that our furry one was well taken care of. We look forward to having our dog stay with him again.â

âChris was a great sitter for my Ruby girl. She is a GSP with a ton of energy to expend. He offered lots of daily exercise for her. She quickly made herself right at home. Lots of fun photos and videos, showing she was having the best time and getting all her energy out. She came home happy and healthyâ

âSarah and her husband were amazing taking care of our pups! She made them feel welcomed and provided constant updates. She has a great space outdoor and indoor and I can tell that mops and zoey felt like home. Thank you so much Sarah!!â


âAlannah is always a pleasure and my dog loves her! She accommodated my last minute request as I was going out of town, and Iâm extremely thankful! I will definitely continue to use her!!â

âAlvin did an awesome job taking care of my boy Oscar. He allowed me to have a meet and greet for him and Oscar prior to the booking. Oscar warmed up to him fairly quick and thatâs not his normal. I felt it was a match from there. Alvin did a great job in communicating with me throughout Oscarâs day. I definitely plan on using him again for future bookings. ECâ

âTrinise was awesome! From the meet and greet to the drop off then pick up, she made the process smooth and I was very comfortable. He is a big dog so youâre always on the fence if he can be handled. I love how she has it setup like a daycare, you donât even go inside you just drop off and pick up, it helps build the Trust. Plus she sends pictures and videos so you can see how well your dog is doing in her care. Her having her daughter there to play with my big baby sealed the deal. I can tell that he was soaking in all the attention, when I picked him up he wanted to get back out of the car. I love that for him and will absolutely book again with no questions!â

âYunju and her partner were the best dog sitters I couldâve hoped for. She sent me photos, videos, and updates multiple times throughout the day of their walks, meals and hang time and made sure our dog was loved on and cared for! She is very kind, super communicative, and fast to respond. She lives in a safe gated community with a dog park nearby. I would 100% recommend Yunju to anyone looking for fun and reliable pet care. Will definitely be booking with her again!â

âLauren took great care of Peg - lots of outside time, and I could tell from the videos and photos she sent that my little gal was having a great time. Yard and house is very dog friendly and Lauren and her son are attentive and caring pet sitters! So glad to have found them.â

âKatie took excellent care of Hazel! She sent me daily updates and pictures. Before Hazelâs stay, we had the chance to meet, and Katie ensured that she was fully informed about Hazelâs needs and personality.â

âHope and her husband were great! My buddy looked like he was having a great time! They were communicative and put my mind at ease immediately. The only only only hiccup that we had was since this is a multipup home some dogs are adverse to dogs that are not neutered. This could have been very bad! BUT, Hope was flexible and they were able to accommodate my dogâs needs to the fullest!â

âJax is always wonderful! She takes such great care of our furry babies, keeping us updated and making sure everything goes smoothly. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pets are in reliable hands. Highly recommend!â

âmanuela went above and beyond to make sure my anxious pup felt safe and comfortable in her home. she sent plenty of pictures and updates. raider came back so sleepy and so happy!â

âLogan was a great sitter. He was very responsive, professional, and took good care of my senior pup. He sent pictures during the stay and communicated any behavioral observations since this my dogâs first time staying with Loganâs family. Great experience overall and I plan to rebook soon.â

âGeorgie had such a great stay with Jaquana and Galaxy. She was very communicative from the start and did such an amazing job at taking care of Georgie! Would love to have her watch him again in the futureâ

âChimere did an amazing job watching our pup! She sent lots of messages and pictures and my dog looked so happy. I have an older dog and felt like she was in great hands. Will definitely book again!â
âJanie did a great job watching my dog Lola! She sent plenty of updates, pictures, and was flexible with pickup time. I hope that all my future trips I can use Janie to board again, I had no worries and picked up a very happy dog.â

âWe booked Debra for the holiday season. Our cat was pretty shy at our meet and greet but by the time of her last drop-in visit, they had become fast friends. She was communicative, transparent, and consistent. We had no problems trusting her with our pets and home, and we will book again!â


âMirabella did a wonderful job checking in on our cats on short notice. She kept the dishes full, cleaned the boxes, and provided photos of the ones she managed to spot. Will book again!â


âKamron is fantastic! Super professional and on top of everything. My cat needs lots of medications and he handled all of it no problem. I really appreciated that he was taking notes and photos of what steps needed to be taken for my cat. His medical education also really helps! He knew more about the medication my cat was on than me đ. I would highly recommend him to anyone on this app! 5 stars!â

âJeremey took exceptional care of our cat and provided us with lots of updates while we were gone. It was a good feeling knowing that he was getting the love and attention he needed while we were away.â


âBen was fantastic! Starting with our meet & greet, he went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and more importantly that he was prepared to give the best possible care to my pet which he absolutely did. I so appreciated his daily notes and photos and could tell how comfortable and safe my cat felt with him. I would absolutely rebook!â


âBrittany was great with our two cats. They seemed well adjusted to us being away. Great communications and photos. Appreciated her help in resolving an issue with one of our automatic feeders.â

âI've had Anna watch my special needs kitty a few times and I'm so glad I found her. I love seeing pictures of my fur baby when I'm gone, and knowing that she gets pet, snuggled and loved while I'm gone warms my heart. Anna is vigilant and mentions whenever something is out of the ordinary. I truly appreciate that.â

âThank you so much! I know Waldo was so happy to see you again, and it was such a relief knowing he was in amazing hands while I was gone for the weekend! I cannot say enough how much I appreciate you being flexible with your schedule to make sure the little guy is safe and happy âşď¸âşď¸âşď¸â

âShe was so welcoming and made the entire experience wonderful! I trust her taking care of my cat. Her response time to messages is impeccable. I will definitely book with Clarissa again!â

âDan was wonderful and so great with our girls! He was attentive and patient with everyone and we canât wait to work with him again in the future! Awesome individual to work with!â

About: Over the past year, I've pet sat regularly for friends, including overnight house-sitting stays and drop-in visits. My friends have trusted me with repeat visits because I stick to routines, pay close attention to each pet's needs, and communicate clearly while they're away. My schedule is wide open right now (the place I worked went out of business) so I have plenty of availability for pet sitting throughout the week. I keep a regular daytime schedule and don't stay out or up late. A couple of evenings a week I have roller derby practice or networking events, but I'm typically home by 10 PM so this won't affect overnight availability. I try to be a calm, attentive presence during visits, and I carefully follow instructions on how to care for your pets. I make sure to have vet and emergency information before you leave and will let you know immediately if anything comes up while you're away. I make sure to lock up and set the alarm every time I leave and leave your home as I found it. I have references from repeat clients if you'd like to check with them first.
âSo appreciated Charleahâs communication and flexibility with our outdoor cat over the holidays. His comings and goings are unpredictable and she dealt confidently with changes we made to his care instructions on the fly. I would hire her again without hesitation!â


âPeggy was amazing and conscientious. She provided me daily updates on my pet including pictures and even a video! It was like she was one of the family! Would recommend and will happily use her again.â

âThank you Cassandra for making Tashi feel welcome....he looked very happy in the photos. Since he will have an over night stay next week, daycare was a good way for him to get to know you and your place.â

âSarah is very nice! She sent me pictures during Peachâs daycare time; she also showed us her place so we wouldnât worry about anything. I would definitely choose her to take care of my puppy again!â


âAlannah H is absolutely wonderful with my fur child Yana. She treats Yana as if she is her own. I constantly get photos and communications regarding Yana. It is a relief to know that I found someone that I can just and someone that treats my fur child as if she was her own. Thank you Alannah!â

About: Iâve had my own dog now for about 6 years. Iâve house-sat and dog sat on/off for the last ten years or so. I love animals so much and I will treat your pet like it is my own! Iâm a teacherâI typically let my dog use the bathroom each morning in the back yard and then give him 1-2 walks when I get off ~3. I have a fenced in back yard and plenty of room for a crate if you want your dog crated while Iâm away! At your home, Iâm willing to field lm what your routine is!
âPeggy is so conscientious and caring. Our dog has jumped fences in the past, so Peggy worked with us to make a plan to keep him safe during his stay. He has separation anxiety, and Peggy took so much care to distract him at drop-off and to calm him during his stay. She is super responsive and sent plenty of updates and pictures. Weâre so happy to have connected with her. âşď¸â

About: Iâve been a vet tech for the past 13 years but after recently moving to Atlanta from FloridaâŚinstead of finding a local veterinarian to continue to work for, i decided to change things up. Iâm now considered a stay-at-home momâŚand Iâm looking to establish myself locally as a highly experienced, dependable and loving caregiver for the Atlanta area petsđđđŠđ Every vet clinic I worked for has offered boarding so thatâs always been a big part of my job description. I have always worked with senior dogs and cats (including having one of my own) so medicating and special needs is something Iâm very comfortable with. Iâm very experienced with diabetic animals and I feel confident checking blood glucose levels if necessary and giving insulin I also have high expectations for the care of my own dogs and would provide the love and attention that all pets needâ¤ď¸ My overall love for animals and my vet tech experience makes for a great sitter!!𼰠I am currently considered a stay-at-home mom so my schedule is usually open and quite flexible.! I can make myself available for most morning, afternoon and evening drop-ins. I very much understand the importance of keeping your babies safe while being cared for! I am VERY careful to treat them as one of my own while under my care𼰠I know that Iâm new to Rover but I am certainly not new to the pet care world. I am the preferred pet sitter for my family and friendsâŚand I would love to be that person for the local ATL petsđ
About: I love animals and they love me. I have a flexible schedule and would love to love your fur babies. I'm open to walks during the day, and home visits. I understand how much love is to be given to these fur babies. I am able adapt to their individual needs and love to learn their personalities. I am dependable and great at communication. Having a fur baby can be very demanding with a full schedule, let me help you with your precious animals. Thank you for your time! I am currently working on an as needed basis so I have flexible availability to help with your fur baby. Please reach out with any inquiries. I have a large fenced in yard. Please inquire if you need assistance with pick-up/drop-off. Plenty attention and snuggles are available for your fur baby.
About: I have fostered several dogs from PAWS Atlanta in my home & i'm a regular volunteer at that shelter. I love all the puppers but over the years I have specialized in caring for the seniors and the pittie mixes. I work from home full time with a lot of conference calls. My block is great for walking and there are several parks for longer walks near my home. I have a fenced-in backyard. I never give dogs people food, but i keep a wide variety of doggie treats. Dogs are not allowed on the human furniture but I have a lot of good size dog beds in my home.
About: Hello! I grew up in New Jersey and have called Georgia home for the last 8 years. As early as I can remember, Iâve loved being around animals of all shapes and sizes. I bond easily with most animals because I am a kind, calm, and confident person. My friends call it a nurturing spirit because countless times I have been to a gathering or party and someone's pet decided that I was their new best friend. When I started living on my own in Atlanta, I decided it was time to adopt my first pets as an adult. I adopted two seniors who still had so much love to share. Their names were Brittanica (the cat) and Roberta (the dog). Both were diagnosed with chronic illnesses that required IV fluids and maintenance medications that had to be given on particular schedules. With advice from their care team, I made sure that each interaction for treatment was a positive experience. Sometimes I pulled out all the stops with treats, bundling them in a blanket, and setting up a soothing environment. If your pet requires such treatments, written notes would be appreciated so I can reference the process as much as possible. My current pets are younger than my first two and keep me on my toes! We have a lot of fluffy fun as Stellaluna is a sweetheart, longhaired domestic cat and Sir Waddles Von Wigglebutt is a very friendly, laid back corgi. We have a good routine where the first thing we do when we wake up is pre-breakfast cuddle time! There have been times where weâve needed to be flexible and eat breakfast first though. My day-to-day is structured so that I can get steps in with Waddles and I can set up enrichment activities for his working dog nature. Often youâll see us with the Atlanta Corgi group so he can be a social butterfly. If the weather isnât great or I have a deadline to meet at work, heâll stay home and do puzzles. Other hobbies that fit in my schedule include playing DND or board games, doing dog training classes with Waddles, and watching TV with Stella. When it comes to taking care of your pets, I will make sure that we keep to the routine theyâre most familiar with too! Weâll do videos and pics as much as we can during the visit. My goal with each visit is that your pet is treated well and feels like theyâre getting their own vacation even though theyâll be missing you. I work in the film industry in post production and I work remotely from home. I will have plenty of time to play and check on your furry friend for scheduled appointments. When I do not have an active contract, I enjoy taking longer walks and playing with your pet extra with your pet. To guarantee more than 30 minutes of play time, please book my 60 min visits. Safety is a top priority when I am taking care of animals. Regardless of how well trained a pet is, they are animals and are unpredictable at times. For that reason, when walking your dog, I will make sure that it is on leash unless we are in your fenced yard. If your dog is staying over with me, a crate is necessary so they have their own space where theyâre safe when Iâm not home. I do have a cat so if your dog is not cat friendly, we will not be able to work together. I believe in strong communication and transparency. While with your fuzzy friend, I will send you updates and photos through the app!
About: I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I do my best to provide the same level of care and attention I would want for my own pets. I've cared for many dogs and cats with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I pay close attention to body language and behavior, which helps me understand when a pet wants to play, needs space, or is feeling anxious. Whether your pet is outgoing or shy, my goal is to build trust, keep them comfortable, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I work from home most of the time and have a flexible schedule, which means plenty of attention for your pet. My Border Collie loves having furry guests, and theyâll enjoy frequent potty breaks in the shared backyard, daily walks, and playtime at the community dog park located right behind my unit. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with close supervision throughout the day. I follow each pet's routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Think less âboarding,â more a trusted friend who happens to be exceptionally good at pet care. đ§ Behavior-aware care ⢠đĄ In-home boarding ⢠â¤ď¸ Lots of love I provide professional, personalized pet care with a special focus on calm, attentive in-home boarding. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including puppies, seniors, nervous rescues, and reactive dogs. I intentionally keep my boarding guest list small so each dog receives plenty of individual attention and can settle into a comfortable routine. I have a securely fenced yard and friendly, well-socialized resident dogs, and I use separate spaces whenever a guest needs quiet time or personal space. A meet-and-greet is required before boarding so we can make sure my home is a good fit for everyone. I am Cat and Dog First Aid certified through the American Red Cross and also manage an enrichment toy program professionally. Depending on your pet's needs, their stay may include neighborhood walks, backyard play, sniffing activities, puzzles, enrichment, and plenty of downtime and affection. Communication is important to me. I follow routines and instructions closely and provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know how your pet is doing. I also offer dog walks and drop-in visits, with my most consistent walking availability in the early morning, evenings, and on weekends. Recurring local walks are welcome and are a great way for your dog and me to get to know each other before a future boarding stay. My goal is to provide dependable care that feels less like a boarding facility and more like your pet is staying with a trusted, experienced friend. Because I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am available throughout the day to provide companionship, playtime, potty breaks, meals, enrichment, and plenty of individual attention. This allows me to offer weekday daycare and overnight boarding in my home, where pets can settle into a calm, comfortable routine without spending long periods alone. On weekends, I also offer overnight care in your home. To make sure I can give your pet my full attention while also maintaining a healthy routine for my own pets, I limit these stays to a maximum of three consecutive nights. For cats, I offer 30-minute drop-in visits that can include feeding, fresh water, litter box care, medication, playtime, and affection based on your catâs personality and comfort level. Cat visits are generally available during the day or evening for homes located within approximately five miles of my home. I also provide dog walks and drop-in potty breaks within my service area. My primary availability is in the morning and evening. Midday visits are more limited, but may be available on holidays or on days when my work schedule allows additional flexibility. I intentionally keep my client list small, which gives me more room to accommodate individual routines and special requests. If your petâs schedule falls outside my usual availability, feel free to reach out. I will always do my best to find an arrangement that works. Every pet receives care based on their routine, personality, and comfort level. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where they can relax and feel at home. For boarding, pets have access to a securely fenced yard for supervised play, enrichment, and frequent potty breaks. I have three friendly rescue dogs, but visiting pets are never left with them unsupervised. Pets are separated during meals, when I leave the house, or anytime they need their own quiet space. A meet and greet is required before boarding so we can confirm that everyone feels comfortable and the environment is a good fit. Dogs who prefer their own space can still enjoy walks, enrichment, outdoor time, and plenty of one-on-one attention. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual feeding, walking, medication, play, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I keep my client list small so each pet receives attentive, personalized care that never feels rushed.
âGreat stay with Richard and Samma B. They took good care of the dogs for the day we brought them over! They were also very responsive and included lots of pictures.â


About: I am located in beautiful Belvedere park with lots of outdoor green space. For active pups, I have a large fenced in yard and the location is great for daily walks in the neighborhood. My 12 year old pup Leo passed away đ recently and it has been a comfort to have furry friends in the house to keep me company! Being a dog lover who travels frequently, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog. I will be sure to keep your dog well fed, active, and loved while you are away. If you would like, I would love to send you pictures of your precious pup while you are away so you can share in their fun! I would be happy to schedule a meet and greet with your dog before your time away to discuss any special needs or care that your dog may require! I work 100% of the time remotely and can take your dog out during the work day for a stroll or potty break, or give them some playtime in the backyard. I currently live in a house with a large privacy fenced backyard for dogs to roam around and get exercise. Whether we are playing fetch or tug of war, there is always something to keep your pup entertained.

âCorrin was THE BEST!! So friendly and had so much room in the front yard and back yard for the pups to roam and play. My dog was exhausted when she got home!â

âI truly appreciate the care Trinise shows to Chase! She has a nice welcoming dog friendly home environment. Sheâs very responsive at a moments notice and Chase shows a happy and cheerful demeanor when I pick him up. I highly recommend Trinise if you are looking for a great sitter!â

âNicholas was a life-saver! He was able to accommodate a last-minute request, but there was nothing "last-minute" about the care he provided for my fur baby! My "boy" immediately connected with Nicholas and Nicholas sent videos and photos to keep me updated. This helped me to relax and focus on my family as we had an unexpected loss. I would recommend him to anyone in the area needing a sitter and I will most definitely request to book with him again in the future!â

About: Ever since I was kid Iâve had dogs around! From dachshunds to large labs, I love them all! I work from home and thought why not open it up to take care of part of of your family! I have a 4 bedroom house and a nice sized fenced yard. Animals are welcome in any space that humans are: the bed, couch, etc. I have worked with several foster dog programs as well. Helping dogs transition between shelter life and new homes! I work from home except on Thursdays so am available just about 24/7 to take care of your pet! This allows me to provide the attention your pet may need! I offer boarding and day care for your pet! I can walk or take them out to potty as often as youâd like. Feeding schedules are also very flexible.
âAlexandria communicated with me wonderfully! I appreciated her coming so last minute to take care of my dog. You can tell she really loves animals. I'm always going to book with her in the future.â

âCarla is a warm, kind, affectionate person who genuinely cares about my puppy. She was on time, respectful of my home, and rules for my dog. I plan to use her again in the future. I feel lucky to have found her.â

About: Iâve been caring for dogs on and off for more than 10 years, helping family, friends, and neighbors whenever they need a reliable extra hand. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood with plenty of space for walks, as well as a large fenced-in backyard thatâs perfect for playtime and exercise. Iâm also close to several scenic walking trails and dog parks, giving your pup plenty of opportunities for outdoor fun and enrichment. While I donât currently have a dog of my own, I regularly spend time with my brother and sister-in-lawâs dogs when they visit. This has given me experience with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I also have a designated space available for a crate if your dog uses one, helping them feel secure and at home during their stay. Please note that I work in the office Monday through Wednesday and am not home during standard business hours. If your dog requires constant supervision or cannot comfortably be left alone during those workdays, I may not be the best fit. However, for independent dogs who are comfortable with a hybrid work schedule, Iâm happy to provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention before and after work. While I am not home Mon - Wed, I make sure every dog in my care receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection before and after work. My day starts with a morning potty break followed by breakfast (for pups who eat twice a day). Before leaving for work, I ensure your dog is comfortable and settled in for the day. Once Iâm home, the focus is entirely on them. Evenings include another potty break, dinner, playtime, and a walk around the neighborhood. I believe regular exercise and outdoor time are essential for a dogâs well-being, so I make it a priority to provide opportunities for physical activity and mental stimulation. On weekends, WFH days and days off, I can offer additional walks, backyard playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where your dog feels at home while youâre away. I care for pets in my home by making sure all potential hazards are put away, since I know how curious fur babies can be. When Iâm home, I keep a close eye on them while also giving them the freedom to explore and relax as they need.
âViva truly understands dogs. She absolutely adores them, and they absolutely adore her!!! She exudes positive energy. She asks thoughtful, thorough questions and communicates really well. With Viva, you know your precious dog is in the best possible hands â¤ď¸â

âWhen I tell you she is absolutely amazing I mean it !! Not only did she put a puffer jacket on my dog when it was below 30 degrees outside without me saying anything ,she treated my dog like he was hers . I would hire her over and over again .â

âDan was very professional in his communications leading up to the walk and showed clear ability to manage my giant breed dog during the walk itself!â

About: (If you like your mom and your mom loves dogs) ;) It is not enough to love animals, you must also be honest, dependable, and reliable. *Housebroken dogs only. Cannot accept incontinent dogs* *Must be dog friendly* *Not best match for high energy dogs* I love, love, love taking care of animals and helping them feel safe and comforted while they are away from their family and may be nervous and/or scared. This is not a side hustle for me, but my main focus along with taking care of my dog and cat. I worked in animal rescue and fostering for 15 years and have had pets all my life. I am a certified pet sitter through Pet Sitters International. I will welcome your pets into my home and treat them as my own -they will be my first priority. My job is to help them feel happy, loved and calm while they are separated from their two-leggeds. And to give you peace of mind while you are away. I live in a house with a large yard, the back is completely fenced, and we also have a screened in porch that is great for sunning and relaxing. I am retired and now at home full time, except for when I leave to do in-home pet appointments for others, errands, etc. I have one dog, a senior Jack Russell Terrier. A pre-stay consult is REQUIRED at no cost. Therefore I cannot accept same day requests. Texts, pictures, and sometimes videos if I get something good, sent daily. For in home stays, if you drop off in the morning and pick up in the evening, a daycare charge is added for the last day. Hours: Drop offs and pick ups accepted at my home 8 am to 8 pm. Transport for your dog (5 mi radius from my home only) Nov - March: 9 am to 5 pm . Apr - Oct: 9 am to 7 pm. Cat care visits in your home: 9 am to 5 pm. Messages returned between 8 am and 8 pm. Meet and greets in my home scheduled between 8 am to 7 pm. Meet and greets in your home scheduled between 9 am to 5 pm Thank you! Daily schedules can be adapted to your dog's needs. However, they must be able to sleep through the night. They can be let outside in the morning as early as 6:30 am. Please advise me if their usual schedule can/cannot adhere to that. I have a completely fenced and well maintained backyard. The fence is a 4 ft high chain link fence. Dogs can run and play freely off leash with my dog. For in-home cat care, I am VERY careful when going in and out and make sure everything is left clean and organized. I will interact/play with all cats who will let me!

About: My preferred name is Leo. I've been caring for animals for most of my life. Growing up, I was responsible for helping care for three family dogs, including feeding, walking, playing with them, and making sure they were happy and well cared for. I also grew up around cats, as my mom had several throughout the years, so I'm very comfortable caring for cats of all ages and personalities. Today, I have a cat of my own, so I understand the daily responsibility and attention that pets need. I'm patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, companionship, or simply someone to keep them safe and comfortable while you're away, I'll treat them with the same love and care I give my own pets. My schedule is very flexible, and I'm available seven days a week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. I work on my own schedule, so I can usually accommodate last-minute bookings as well. Whether you need someone for a quick check-in, daily visits, overnight care, or extended pet sitting, I'll do my best to be there whenever you need reliable care for your pet. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I keep my home clean, organized, and pet-friendly. I currently care for my own cat, who is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and well loved. I make sure all of my houseplants are non-toxic to pets, keep anything potentially dangerous out of reach, and provide plenty of toys, enrichment, and a cat tree for play and relaxation. I'm attentive to each pet's individual needs and always make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean space, exercise, affection, and plenty of attention. I also have experience helping cats socialize through supervised playdates with friends' cats, so I understand how to create a calm, safe, and positive environment. I'll care for your pet with the same love and attention I give my own.

My services include walking, feeding, bathing, and entertaining many different types of animals:) My experience includes caring for deaf/blind dogs, as well as oral medication administration.

Iâm adaptable to whatever your pet needs, and willing to take on whatever makes you the most comfortable.
âAnna has cared for our pets for several years now and she is wonderful. Her pictures and updates are always fun and informative and I never worry about the care our dog Marty and our elderly cats receive. She is a gem that I am so grateful to have.â

âOur senior mid-life rescue gets a little depressed when we leave for a bit. Alayna was great w him! She sent us photos, was on time & gave us great notes. I get a little anxious when I leave him & she helped me feel more relaxed about the day-to-day & our dog warmed up to her quickly.â

âChris was a great sitter for my Ruby girl. She is a GSP with a ton of energy to expend. He offered lots of daily exercise for her. She quickly made herself right at home. Lots of fun photos and videos, showing she was having the best time and getting all her energy out. She came home happy and healthyâ

âAlvin did an awesome job taking care of my boy Oscar. He allowed me to have a meet and greet for him and Oscar prior to the booking. Oscar warmed up to him fairly quick and thatâs not his normal. I felt it was a match from there. Alvin did a great job in communicating with me throughout Oscarâs day. I definitely plan on using him again for future bookings. ECâ

âTrinise was awesome! From the meet and greet to the drop off then pick up, she made the process smooth and I was very comfortable. He is a big dog so youâre always on the fence if he can be handled. I love how she has it setup like a daycare, you donât even go inside you just drop off and pick up, it helps build the Trust. Plus she sends pictures and videos so you can see how well your dog is doing in her care. Her having her daughter there to play with my big baby sealed the deal. I can tell that he was soaking in all the attention, when I picked him up he wanted to get back out of the car. I love that for him and will absolutely book again with no questions!â

âLauren took great care of Peg - lots of outside time, and I could tell from the videos and photos she sent that my little gal was having a great time. Yard and house is very dog friendly and Lauren and her son are attentive and caring pet sitters! So glad to have found them.â

âKatie took excellent care of Hazel! She sent me daily updates and pictures. Before Hazelâs stay, we had the chance to meet, and Katie ensured that she was fully informed about Hazelâs needs and personality.â

âHope and her husband were great! My buddy looked like he was having a great time! They were communicative and put my mind at ease immediately. The only only only hiccup that we had was since this is a multipup home some dogs are adverse to dogs that are not neutered. This could have been very bad! BUT, Hope was flexible and they were able to accommodate my dogâs needs to the fullest!â

âJax is always wonderful! She takes such great care of our furry babies, keeping us updated and making sure everything goes smoothly. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pets are in reliable hands. Highly recommend!â

âmanuela went above and beyond to make sure my anxious pup felt safe and comfortable in her home. she sent plenty of pictures and updates. raider came back so sleepy and so happy!â

âLogan was a great sitter. He was very responsive, professional, and took good care of my senior pup. He sent pictures during the stay and communicated any behavioral observations since this my dogâs first time staying with Loganâs family. Great experience overall and I plan to rebook soon.â

âMs. Wendy was very gentle with my furry daughter, Naâvi. She was very communicative with me and sent me pictures everyday and updates on how Naâvi was doing. She is very professional and straightforward with the way she provides her service but makes sure we felt comfortable before Naâviâs stay.â

âDeb is amazing! She was confident and patient with our anxious pup and he warmed up to her immediately. She also kept us updated with lots of photos. We look forward to booking with her again!â

âIsabella was so wonderful and incredibly understanding and accommodating when our travel plans went awry. She was so easy to communicate with, sent regular updates of our pup, and provided the coziest home for him to enjoy while we were gone, not to mention her sweet dog Ollie too! Our pal clearly loved having Ollie as a buddy. She gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was safe and sound while we were stuck out of town. Cannot say enough good things!â

âI really appreciated David for being so responsive and open to my dogs needs. He gets special feeding and needs a lot of exercise and the other dogs were great as well. I wiould definitely book againâ

âFreeman was outstanding! My pup was in great hands. Truly appreciated the video and photo updates during the stay. Thank you SO much for taking care of MagnusđĽ°đśâ

âMontel was truly amazing! Pictures everyday ! My dog look happy and well taken care of ! It was last minute booking and I appreciated the consideration and professionalism in Montel!!! Definitely a person Iâll rebook with any day !!!â
âMeredith was the BEST sitter we could have asked for! She communicated with us throughout Snoopâs stay and was always very responsive. She truly went above and beyondâeven washing Snoopâs clothes and diapers before we arrived to pick him up. That was such a thoughtful touch and meant so much to us. Snoop is a senior dog, so leaving him with someone we trust is especially important to us. He usually runs straight to us and is ready to get back home, but this time it was completely different. When we got in the car to leave, he rested his head on my shoulder and looked back through the window at Meredithâs house. 𼚠That told us everything we needed to know about how comfortable and happy he was there. We feel so lucky to have found Meredith and would absolutely book with her again. If we travel out of town again, thereâs no question that Snoop will be staying with her!â

âErin was great with Macy. She sent pictures and videos to show us while we were out of town so we knew what was going on with our girl. We would definitely use Erin in the future.â

âWhat a hero! I needed someone to watch my dog last minute and Marissa was happy to help. She took all the stress and worry off my back. Marissa sent plenty of updates with pictures and video so I always knew that Cheese was doing ok. I felt completely at ease with his stay and I would book him with Marissa again in a heartbeat.â
