“Anais was amazing with my puppy, Sparkle. I could tell right away that Sparkle was well cared for and in good hands. She kept me at ease and treated her with so much love and attention. I would definitely use her again for future boarding.”
“Katie was awesome! She sent great photos and updates and it looked like Paisley was getting lots of love and attention! We also appreciated her communication and flexibility. We would definitely book again!”
“Before we even go to Atlanta, we knew Beth was going to be the best. Her communication was thorough, positive and upbeat. When we arrived, she and her partner greeted us with big smiles and Watson could sense he was about to have a great time. Hope provided daily updates exactly when she told us she would. Watson was practically smiling in every picture. He made some new puppy friends as he ran around Hope’s spacious backyard. Thank you, Hope, for taking such great care of Watson. We didn’t worry one bit while he was with you. And if we ever are back in Atlanta, you know we will be stopping by. ❤️”
“Kim is the BEST OF THE BEST! At this point, I have to add her to my will as Polo’s next of Kin 🤣. I recently had an intense work travel season, and Kim didn’t hesitate to lean in and look after Polo. She is overly communicative (in the best way) to ensure that I feel comfortable, especially since this was the longest I’ve been away from my dog. I’m so grateful for her services and would 10/10 always recommend. Thanks again, Kim for everything!”
“Alvin 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 that’s not his normal. I felt it was a match from there. Alvin did a great job in communicating with me throughout Oscar’s day. I definitely plan on using him again for future bookings. EC”
“Leeandra was great! sent updated photos and was great for my pup! My dog is very high maintenance (wears a diaper and takes medication) and she did a great job! also was flexible when i needed to last minute add another day :))”
“Chimere 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!”
“Peggy is the best! She has taken care of my baby before and is so thorough, kind, and reliable. She sent photos daily as well as videos, very responsive via text. She threw my dog a birthday party too and made him a dog cake 🥹 she takes care of my dog as if he were hers. Will book again. Thanks Peggy!”
“Alannah was amazing with my pup! She kept me updated throughout the whole weekend and went out of her to make sure Sadie was comfortable. I will definitely book her again🥰”
“Manuela was amazing. She communicated every day with updates about our pup, Otis. She shared pictures and videos and we genuinely felt he was in great hands. He was a happy boy with Manuela and we will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Thank you so much, Lauren! Our two dogs (both pit mixes and 60+ lbs) loved their stay. Our baby (3 yr old) wouldn't eat at first and Lauren tried multiple bowls and got her to do so :) They got all the snuggles, all the play, all the good times. Loved the pics, video, and updates! Will definitely be having them stay with Lauren again.”
“Kamron kept our dog for over a week while we were on a cruise. He was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures which we loved. Tuxedo seemed to have had a really good time with the cats as well. We will be back. 😊😊”
“He took great care of my dog and provided daily updates. I was comfortable he was in good hands. His husky mix is adorable and played well with my dog. I booked a 2nd stay.”
“We felt very comfortable leaving our little dachshund with Luis, and we came back after 6 days to a happy and healthy girl. Luis was great with communication and photos while we were away and missing our dog. Thanks Luis!!”
“I am so lucky I was able to leave my baby with Leanza!!! She took such good care of my baby and sent photos and videos consistently while I was gone. She was so patient and gentle with Boba. Great great great pet sitter. Highly recommended”
“Thank you Trinise for going above and beyond in making us comfortable while leaving our family pet, Eboni with you. Thank you for sending so many pictures and for entertaining all of the phone calls. You were so gracious and polite.”
“Ayelet is a gem. I’ve heard some tough stories about Rover, so we did an interview first and knew she would be a great fit. My pup loves her and Luke, and she’s really made it his home away from home. Thank you again!!!”
“Denver always looks like he’s having so much fun, it’s like he’s on his own vacation whenever he is at Deanna’s!! Thanks for always taking great care of him :)”

“Julianna has been an amazing pet sitter for my dog Tommy and kitten Oreo. She is an exceptional communicator and has a very keen eye for details. I know I can travel stress free if Julianna is taking care of my loved ones. Recently, Julianna noticed Oreo wasn’t being as playful as usual, I took him to the Vet and he was very constipated. I’m beginning to think Tommy and Oreo prefer Julianna over me!”
“Managing drop-in visits our large number of animals is no small task, but Jax handles everything with incredible organization and care. Every pet was well looked after, and we received consistent updates that gave us total peace of mind. Highly recommend for anyone with multiple pets who needs dependable, compassionate care!”
“Solange was really good with my two cats. When we got home, they felt safe and comfortable which is not usual for strangers. I appreciate her communication throughout the days. Thank you Solange!!”
“Kayla took such great care of my senior aged cat, London, while I was away. She required drop ins & meds 2x a day and Kayla did not disappoint. She was on time, communicated each day, and provided photos and updates daily. I got home to a very tidy space and one happy cat! Full transparency and integrity is what you will get from Kayla. Do not hesitate to reach out to her!”
“Mirabella 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!”
About: ***PLEASE BE METRO/BUS ACCESSIBILE AS I DON’T OWN A CAR!*** Currently only available for drop-in visits and walks. I am a kind, warm, and thoughtful academic who recently graduated with his PhD in December 2018. I am available for dog walking or dropping in to play with your pet to show him/her/them some attention and love. I am attentive to detail and respect my client's wishes. I don't own a car so I use public transit to get around the DMV area. I am a mature, responsible adult who just loves dogs and playing with them! I grew up and have lived with dogs most of my life, from lapdogs to Golden Retrievers. I did some dog walking and dog sitting in high school. I'm currently available any time most days as long as I have at least 24-hour notice. I will come on the days and times you want as long as those are clearly communicated. I will play with your pets in the areas you tell me are appropriate to play with them. If you say any areas are off-limits, I will respect that. I make sure to keep your dogs away from any person or thing they might have a negative reaction to while walking.
“Carla made some house visits to feed my cat while I was out of town. She was so reliable and kind, even though my cat isn’t the friendliest to others!! I am so grateful to her and would absolutely use her services again.”
“Kamron was absolutely the best!!! He was extremely professional, timely, and always kept us up to date during each drop in visit. We have a very timid kitty who is always scared around new people, but she loved playing with Kamron. By far the best sitter we have booked on Rover.”
“Debra was an absolute perfect fit to watch after our two kitties while we were gone. We would not hesitate to book with her again! It was our first time using Rover so I based my search on proximity and reviews. Because of that, I had to add a review of my own because if you’re here reading through Debra’s reviews- you’ve found the right person! Debra was extremely easy to work with and she knows exactly what she’s doing. She went above and beyond, sending us pictures and notes of our kitties while we were gone. I’ll definitely have a lot of confidence in booking with her in the future and would highly recommend her for you, too!”
“Alexandria was awesome! She is knowledgeable, compassionate and professional. She goes above and beyond expectations and is very accommodating. No question…would use her again 1000x over! She is way more than she charges💕”
“Stacy was awesome and very caring! The first time my kitty met her she immediately went up to her which is unusual, since my kitty is very standoffish at first. This made me feel comfortable! Stacy was also super nice and a great communicator. I will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you again Stacy!!!”
“Andre was very detailed and thorough, and he took care of our cats very well. He communicated excellently, sending detailed updates and quality pictures. His updates made us not worry about the cats, because we knew they were well cared for.”
“This was my first experience using Rover and Anna made it a great one! She was communicative, sent lots of photos and detailed reports, and was reliable. I could tell she genuinely loves animals and my cat adored her, evidenced by all the pics of him making himself at home on her lap 😂 She also took initiative to take in our packages for us and cleaned the litter box even when I said she didn't have to. She really cared for my cat and that made me feel much better when traveling. Thanks Anna!!”
“Rebecca did a great job watching our cats while we were out of town. She came by beforehand for a meet and greet, and it was obvious she was very comfortable with cats. Her communication was excellent, she arrived on time every day, spent quality time with them, and provided thorough updates and photos. We especially appreciated that she cleaned up after one of our cats got sick one day without hesitation. We would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again.”
“Cecil was great! Our three cats are trouble makers but Cecil made it so that we didn’t have to worry about them while my husband and I were on our honeymoon! Will definitely be booking with Cecil in the future (:”
“This was the first time that Stacie took care of our cats, and she was terrific! She responded quickly to my initial inquiry, and she is a great communicator, very professional, and gave us an overall sense of reliability and trust. Also, it is clear that she is a nice person who enjoys spending time with animals. We had great peace of mind leaving our pets in her care, and she will be the first pet sitter I will contact when I travel in the future.”
“Lindsey was amazing with my pup! She was so kind to my baby and made sure he got quality walks, was fed, and had plenty of time to use the restroom. She was very communicative and easy to work with, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. I’d definitely trust her again to watch Saint! Highly recommend.”

“Thank 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.”
“MT is really amazing!! She really cares and takes pride in caring for your pet!! She made our Bella feel comfortable and at home!! Wonderful customer service and professionalism from booking to pick up. We will definitely be repeat clients!!❤️??”
“My dog is still a puppy and had never been to daycare or away from me for a long time before, so she was a little difficult. Denise was incredibly understanding and her house was beautiful! If I'm ever in Atlanta again I would definitely have her watch my dog.”
“Alannah 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!”
About: I’ve had my own dog now for about 6 years. I’ve 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! I’m a teacher—I 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 I’m away! At your home, I’m willing to field lm what your routine is!
“Peggy 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. We’re so happy to have connected with her. ☺️”
About: I have fostered several dogs from PAWS Atlanta in my home & i'm a regular volunteer at that shelter.

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.
“Lauren was fantastic! My pup has been dealing with some severe separation anxiety since moving to GA, and Lauren was so calming and sweet with him. She even sent me a cute picture of them snuggling! Highly recommend and would stay with Lauren again :)”

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 🌈 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.
“Carla is awesome! We are so excited for Macaroni to have new friends to hang out with and we feel so good knowing she will be in good hands when we go out of town.”
“David was a fantastic sitter for my dog - not only did they do a ton of walking and playing outside, with consistent pics and updates, David was extremely kind and understanding when I couldn’t pick Murray up on time due to a personal emergency. Thank you so much again David!”
About: Fun loving pet owner and pet lover living in Decatur, Georgia. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule. I own one dog and I’m an aunty to two others, as well as god parents to many other pets. Offering boarding and sitting in my comfortable, bright and pet friendly home. I grew up with many pets and I’ve always had a fondness for our furry friends. I’d say I have 30 years experience with dogs, cats, birds, rabbits. I’m more skilled with small to medium sized trained dogs. I have a backyard that pets can play in once leashed and I take all pets for walks in the neighborhood, weather and their ability permitted. Safety first always! Looking forward to hanging with some cool furry friends. I work from home and I have a little dog of my own so your pet is never alone and has a friend to lounge in the sun and eat treats with. I also have a large crate for if your dog requires crate time or if I have to briefly run an errand. My home is a soft space and the neighborhood is safe and quiet. I do have a ring camera and doors are always closed and locked for added safety. I always accompany my pet friends for leashed discoveries in my backyard and on neighborhood walks to greet the neighbors.
About: I am fully remote worker, so your dog has company all day long, no extended lonely hours. I currently care for my own senior Lab mix. Also cared for my diabetic senior Maltese for 15 years, so special needs are no problem. Your pup gets a part time home with me. Drop offs no earlier than 7am. Pickups no later than 9pm. I crate at night and when leaving the house for safety of all pets. Working from home grants me ability to care for my dog and others more closely, with more frequent potty breaks, and play time in fenced yard. I have a fenced in yard and several room spaces to separate if alone time needed, like sleep time or feeding. Your pup will spend days with me in my office while I work Monday-Friday. Other times in family room or yard.
About: I grew up in a home with both cats and dogs, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I’ve also spent years helping friends, family, and neighbors with pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks. I’ve been a dog mom for the past 5 years, so I understand how important routine, attention, and trust are. I’m reliable, attentive, and focused on making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a private, fenced in back yard. I will also send a million pictures/videos if thats what you like (I know I do lol). I know how it feels to be away and missing my doggies so no judgement here. :) I currently have a very flexible schedule and am focusing on pet care full-time, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day and overnight when needed. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am focusing on pet care full-time, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day and overnight when needed.

I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet in my care. As a dog owner myself, I’m very attentive to behavior, routines, and comfort levels. I take time to ensure pets feel secure and adjust to their needs, whether that means playtime, structure, or space. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and prioritize clear communication and updates.
About: As a dog sitter, what sets me apart from others is my deep commitment to providing a loving, compassionate, and ethical environment for every fur baby in my care. I believe in the whole health of the dog, not just their physical well-being. I pay attention to their mental, emotional, and social needs, ensuring a balanced and fulfilling experience. Whether it’s calming anxieties, providing companionship, or offering interactive toys, I take a holistic approach to their care. I am currently retired, So i will have plenty of time to spend with your Fur babies. I am available Everyday, and also on most Holidays. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priorities.

Along with daily walks, engaging playtime, and quiet rest, I create a safe, loving environment where your pet can thrive.
About: Hello! I grew up in New Jersey and have called Georgia home for the last 8 years. As early as I can remember, I’ve 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 we’ve 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 you’ll see us with the Atlanta Corgi group so he can be a social butterfly. If the weather isn’t great or I have a deadline to meet at work, he’ll 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 they’re most familiar with too! We’ll 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 they’re getting their own vacation even though they’ll 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 they’re safe when I’m 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!

“Alexandria 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.”
“Scott is great! He was really responsive when scheduling and super friendly with our new puppy. He struck a nice balance of walking and playing to get him nice and tired. We would definitely use him again in the future!”
About: I grew up in an animal-loving home and have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards, and rodents. I have worked as a kennel tech at an emergency vet, volunteered at animal shelters walking dogs and socializing cats, and have volunteered at a local wildlife center for over 5 years. Right now, I have 2 amazing dogs and foster kittens for Dekalb County Animal Services. I strive to offer enriching and engaging pet care services, whether that includes going on walks, playing in the park, or staying home and playing or giving scritches. I also pride myself in staying up-to-date with pet care methods. I can administer medication, provide simple grooming services (bath and brush), and provide small animal care. I have a soft spot for senior dogs and understand that they can have extra needs. My schedule is flexible and can accommodate you and your pet's needs. I am currently job hunting and fill my time with child-care and pet-care jobs, and I keep my availability calendar up to date and always strive to provide as much advance notice as possible for any changes. I will follow your pet's typical routines as closely as possible while building trust and comfort. My priority is providing engaging and safe care and caring for pets as if they're my own.
“It’s our last week with Solange and we are so sad. I would not have stopped if we didn’t move. She has so been attentive and caring with my dog on walks for the past year. Takes the cutest pics which is a plus. She's been flexible when possible and always has good communication. Would recommend her services in a heartbeat.”
“Carla 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.”
“Charleah has been helping take care of Layla for a while now, and she is the best! She is always on time, communicative and Layla absolutely lovers her! Highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great person that both you and your dog will love!”
About: I’ve 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 that’s perfect for playtime and exercise. I’m also close to several scenic walking trails and dog parks, giving your pup plenty of opportunities for outdoor fun and enrichment. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I regularly spend time with my brother and sister-in-law’s 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, I’m 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 I’m 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 dog’s 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 you’re 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 I’m home, I keep a close eye on them while also giving them the freedom to explore and relax as they need.

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: I’ve had dogs and taken care of them since I was very young. I love all animals. And I can not wait to meet some new furry friends. I’m currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to care for your animals. I’m available to take the fur babies on walks whenever you need. I have a very friendly dog that is completely house trained. I can crate your animal, walk them, pay with them. Anything you need for them to be comfortable I can do.
“When 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 .”
“Our 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.”

“Katie was awesome! She sent great photos and updates and it looked like Paisley was getting lots of love and attention! We also appreciated her communication and flexibility. We would definitely book again!”
“Before we even go to Atlanta, we knew Beth was going to be the best. Her communication was thorough, positive and upbeat. When we arrived, she and her partner greeted us with big smiles and Watson could sense he was about to have a great time. Hope provided daily updates exactly when she told us she would. Watson was practically smiling in every picture. He made some new puppy friends as he ran around Hope’s spacious backyard. Thank you, Hope, for taking such great care of Watson. We didn’t worry one bit while he was with you. And if we ever are back in Atlanta, you know we will be stopping by. ❤️”
“Alvin 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 that’s not his normal. I felt it was a match from there. Alvin did a great job in communicating with me throughout Oscar’s day. I definitely plan on using him again for future bookings. EC”
“Manuela was amazing. She communicated every day with updates about our pup, Otis. She shared pictures and videos and we genuinely felt he was in great hands. He was a happy boy with Manuela and we will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Thank you so much, Lauren! Our two dogs (both pit mixes and 60+ lbs) loved their stay. Our baby (3 yr old) wouldn't eat at first and Lauren tried multiple bowls and got her to do so :) They got all the snuggles, all the play, all the good times. Loved the pics, video, and updates! Will definitely be having them stay with Lauren again.”
“He took great care of my dog and provided daily updates. I was comfortable he was in good hands. His husky mix is adorable and played well with my dog. I booked a 2nd stay.”
“Thank you Trinise for going above and beyond in making us comfortable while leaving our family pet, Eboni with you. Thank you for sending so many pictures and for entertaining all of the phone calls. You were so gracious and polite.”
“Ayelet is a gem. I’ve heard some tough stories about Rover, so we did an interview first and knew she would be a great fit. My pup loves her and Luke, and she’s really made it his home away from home. Thank you again!!!”
“Denver always looks like he’s having so much fun, it’s like he’s on his own vacation whenever he is at Deanna’s!! Thanks for always taking great care of him :)”
“Isabella is just the best. Pear loves spending time with her and Ollie. While in Isabella’s care, I always receive frequent updates and pictures. It’s such a relief knowing when I’m out of town that Pear is somewhere that she’s excited to be!”
“Freeman is a wonderful sitter! My senior dog Nala was happy and well cared for. He was flexible with my drop off and pick up times and even sent us home with a bone and a fresh bag of treats. I highly recommend and I will definitely be using his services again!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of my dogs and providing me updates along the way. As you know I was pretty nervous because my pit bulls are so important to me and this was my first time leaving them. Blessings and many thanks again.”
“I couldn’t speak more highly of Jalil. He is not only flexible, but very professional and has a clear love and passion for dogs. He kept my dog safe, happy, exercised and in good health for the duration of my trip. Jalil is really really great.”
“Honey had an AMAZING time with Melissa and I loved all the photos and updates. So thrilled that Honey got to play with her Zoey and make a new friend while we were out”
“Thank y’all so much for taking care of Napoleon especially right through Christmas!!! y’all are the best, and he definitely was trying to get back into your house when I picked him up!! Lol!!”
“We loved having Barron take care of Tosco! He made sure to learn all about him before we dropped him off and he was very responsive and caring. Will definitely be requesting his help again!”
“Simply cannot say enough good things about Carla. Such a kind and thoughtful person with great concern for pets. Followed instructions for our reactive pup to a tee and even helped us by taking him home. We had an amazing experience and will be booking with her in the future. 10/10. Will recommend her to all of our friends!”
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.
“Douglas was super understanding when our flight plans changed due to weather. Our dog is very happy, and we appreciated the photo updates. The house is great for dogs with a big lot, and Douglas is an attentive sitter.”
