We will definitely use Hope for future nights away.”
About: Hello! I am a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet parent who recently transitioned into the empty-nest phase of life. While I currently don't have a dog of my own, my home is a quiet, pet-free sanctuary ready to welcome your pup with open arms. Because I don't have other pets, your dog will be my only guest. This means they will receive 100% of my love, undivided attention, and personalized care throughout their stay. My home is their home—if they are used to lounging on the furniture or curling up on the sofa for a nap, they are more than welcome to do so here! I live in a wonderful, walkable area of Decatur right near beautiful parks and paths. Being an active person, I love getting outside and am happy to tailor exercise to your dog's specific needs. Whether your pup is an adventurer who loves long, brisk walks, or a senior friend who prefers a leisurely stroll—or even a relaxing ride in a pet stroller—I am fully equipped to make sure they get their fresh air and sunshine. Beyond the walks and play, I am experienced in administering medication and ensuring your pet stays on their regular schedule. My goal is to provide a stress-free environment where your dog feels safe, adored, and right at home. I would love to meet your pup and help them have a wonderful, fun, and comfortable stay! My Daily Routine: Dedicated Time for Your Pup As a retired professional and local artist, my daily schedule is flexible, consistent, and centered around the home. Because I work from my home studio, I am able to provide a stable, low-stress environment where your dog is rarely left alone. How your pet fits into my day: Consistent Supervision: My routine is predictable, which is wonderful for pets who thrive on stability. Your dog will have a companion throughout the day, whether I am working on a painting, organizing my studio, or relaxing. Active Lifestyle Integration: I am an early riser and highly active. Our day typically includes morning and afternoon outings to the nearby parks and walking paths, ensuring your pup gets plenty of mental stimulation and fresh air. Prioritizing Your Routine: I believe the best care maintains the routine your dog is already used to. During our first meeting, we will discuss their feeding times, nap preferences, and favorite activities so I can mirror their home schedule as closely as possible. Dedicated Quality Time: Since my studio work allows for frequent breaks, I make it a point to break up the day with focused play sessions, grooming, or just quiet time on the sofa. Your dog will never be a "visitor"—they will be my constant companion while I am home. My art studio is a calm and creative space, and your dog is welcome to lounge nearby while I work!" How I ensure your dog’s safety and happiness: Proactive Outdoor Time: Instead of relying on a yard, I am dedicated to frequent, high-quality walks and active playtime throughout the day. We will hit the local parks and paths regularly, ensuring your dog gets plenty of fresh air, exercise, and the mental stimulation that comes with exploring new sights and smells. The Screened-In Porch Oasis: My home features a comfortable, secure screened-in porch that serves as a perfect "outdoor room." It is a favorite spot for many pups to enjoy the breeze, safely watch the neighborhood birds and squirrels, or simply relax in the sunshine without being directly exposed to the elements or other animals. Safety First: I am highly vigilant about pet safety. Whether we are on a walk or lounging in the house, your dog is always under my direct supervision. I maintain a clean, pet-safe studio and home environment, ensuring that all items are stored away and that the space is clutter-free for your pup’s comfort. Constant Connection: Because I work from home, I am always available to provide comfort, monitor your dog’s health, and respond immediately to their needs. You can rest easy knowing that your pet is in a secure, loving, and monitored environment at all times.
“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. 😊😊”

I highly recommend Patricia as an outstanding dog sitter. When we go out of town again, we will definitely board Pippin with her.”
“Peggy is amazing!! Maggie was so well cared for while I was away. It is a huge comfort to know she was with someone who cared for my dog almost as much as I do. Peggy took the time to meet us before the stay and see if Maggie was compatible in her home. She asked thorough questions to make sure she knew what Maggie needed. Maggie is diabetic and needs needles twice a day. Peggy was fabulous at this and Maggie was so happy in all the photographs that she sent me. If you get to book a stay with Peggy, you will be getting the very best care.”

“Kamron 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 😂. I would highly recommend him to anyone on this app! 5 stars!”

We loved seeing the photos she took while she was with them and it puts us at ease knowing they are in great hands while we are away. We definitely recommend Melanie to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“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!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Elizabeth. She came prepared to our meet and greet with a through list of questions about my cat and our home. She was a great communicator and kept me up to date on what was going on with my cat and sent pictures every day.

I won’t hesitate to use her services again!”

About: I believe pets are family, and I care for them with same the patience, attention, and kindness I'd want for my own. You'll always receive updates, photos, and honest communications so you know your furry member is in good hands. My schedule is naturally pet-friendly.

I provide a safe, calm, loving environment where your pet can feel at home. My apartment gives them room to relax, and a secure outdoor deck where pets can relax and enjoy fresh air while always remaining supervised.

About: I grew up with a sweet dachshund and have been a dog-lover ever since! Andrew and I both work from home full time, and that makes us the go-to pet sitter for neighbors and friends.

We live on the Beltline making it the perfect setting for long walks or quick potty breaks. We’re more than happy to accommodate your pet’s needs, whether it is crating them or something else.

I’ve also spent years helping friends, family, and neighbors with pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks.

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.

“Lauren was such a great host to Arnold. Kept us updated and sent pics and gave Arnold a little vacation! He clearly had a great time and Lauren was accommodating and wonderful.”
“Bentley was tail-wagging and happy to be left with Javier and Christina once again, which shows how well he is consistently cared for by them. We received daily pictures of him playing in the big yard and curling up on the couch. We never worry when Bentley is in their care.”
“Yunju and her partner were the best dog sitters I could’ve 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!”
“Hobey had such a great time staying with Josh & Chrissty. He loved the big yard to play in and the romping he got to do with Buzz and Phil. He was an exhausted and happy pup when we picked him up. I had peace of mind knowing he was in great hands with frequent updates and Josh and Christy were super accommodating and flexible. Overall, a great stay!”
