“Julie and Michael were so easy to work with when our leaving and arriving times changed. The dog had a wonderful time at their wonderful place. They took great care of Rosie and she enjoyed her stay with them. Would use them again.”
“Bo really seemed to enjoy his time at Reyna's place. It was ideal for him since they have a puppy for him to play with plus their sweet sons who play with him. Reyna sent pictures and updates showing what Bo was doing and how happy he was. He was worn out by the time he came home! I will definitely plan on booking with Reyna again.”
“Our 2 pups loved Lena and her beautiful home! They have secretly been barking to us that they want to go back and play some more with Lena and her cute little dogs. She is honest and caring and efficient! She will love your dogs the whole time you’re away and is terrific about sending daily photos! Highly recommend! A+++++ ??”

“This was a somewhat last-minute request, and I truly lucked out with Cynthia! She made Xavier feel welcome from the moment we walked through the door. She sent multiple updates each day, which gave me so much peace of mind, and it was obvious that Xavier had an absolute blast during his stay. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“I highly recommend Emmanuel, he was really good with sending me pictures and videos of my dog , being the first time I had to leave my dog I wasn't prepared for it and sure how this was going to be, but after the Greet and meet with Emmanuel , his wife and their 2 dogs I knew my dog was going to a safe place. Emmanuel was really good at asking and answering questions for me, about my dog's stay. The first time I meet with them I knew my dog was going to have an amazing time. I would definitely use his service again. Thank you”
“Very beautiful and kind family. Angie and her family took very good care of Capone. With most dogs Capone got mildly injured but Angie immediately notified me and cared for Capone. She kept me updated regarding his status and health while I was away on travel. Upon my return to pick up Capone he was happy and vibrant as the day I left him with Angie and her family. I am very comfortable with rebooking another session with the family. Will definitely be using her services in the foreseeable future. Thank you for taking such good care of my fury friend. A+ boarder”

“Needed a sitter on short notice while our apartment was being fumigated, I was so grateful for Jennifer taking them in while I was at work. She's very kind, gentle, and caring, providing perfect care for both our sweet kitties. One of our cats had a bit of irritation in her eye from some dirt, and she was able to give her the eye drops we left with her. Absolutely will book her again if/when I need a sitter, you can tell how much she loves what she does.”
“If you are looking for a great dog sitter, look no further. We have been using Ryan for a couple of years with complete satisfaction. Our dog loves going to his house, and we are confident that he is getting the best care. Highly recommend.”
“This was Radnor’s second stay with Lindsay & Chris and once again, the level of care he received was top notch! We never worried one second while we were gone even when we heard there was a winter storm expected with possible power outages because they let us know they had it covered if that happened. We are thankful we found them to care for Radnor!”

About: I've personally owned cats since I was little, that being the first animal I took care of at 6years old with a hamster and parakeets and a ferret. Cat behavior differs from dogs and you must understand they are one of a kind to each cats behavior is never the same. Some need more attention than others and some want all the space they can get but enjoy their food. Countless kitten claw scratches approved. Keeping litter boxes clean is highly necessary as it is their bathroom and no one likes a stinky toilet. I currently own a Japanese tortoiseshell bobtail female cat who has already had a liter of kittens. I have raised and found homes for. I have experience in almost any house pet you can think of and then some.
About: I have take care of my close friends cat multiple times. I had my own cat growing up and have a cat with my college roommate who I take care of all the time! I love taking care of cats and dogs.
“Wish I could give Branka more then 5 stars. She will be our new go-to pet sitter. She took care of our three cats like they were her own. Sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the week. So grateful for her!”
“Immediately upon meeting Avary, all 4 of our dogs were completely comfortable with her which speaks volumes. She was flexible and followed all directions for our pups. When she had a question, she asked instead of guessing. Avary gave our dogs love and checked in regularly. I was so nervous leaving them in the care of someone new but Avary did not disappoint. She showed that the wellbeing of our dogs were her top priority.”
About: I have cared for many dogs, including mine and others. I have experience with dog sitting 10 lbs puppies all the way to caring for large Great Danes. I am recently a new cat owner and have watched over cats for several years for others. I am a collegiate athlete, but I just got into my off-season. I would love to do drop-in visits while I am on break from school. I also have a lot of experience with extended pet care while owners are on vacation. My schedule is more flexible now that I am out of season, I can't wait to fill it with time for your pup. I have always had a dog in my home growing up, so I truly have a love for animals. Every pup I get the opportunity to care for, I treat them like my own. I love meeting every animal's personality and providing them with the care and comfort they deserve. I always want the best experience for them, leaving them happy, which leaves you happy!
“Drew was true in every sense of our agreement. He was punctual and thorough. Our little kitty Fiona was in great shape when we arrived home. Drew has a very positive approach to animal care. I'd hire him back in a minute. Marc D. Ball Ground”
About: Let me come take care of your fur babies! I provide excellent, individually catered care for each pet and I have the extra experience being a registered veterinarian technician! Does your pet need special care? No problem at all!

I have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, a variety of reptiles, birds, fish, turtles, and other farm and exotic pets! Just let me know the details and I would be happy to care for them too! A little about me: Besides being an overall animal lover, I graduated in June 2019 with my Associates Degree in Veterinarian Nursing. I have a horse named Reno; who is a 23 yr old quarter paint! I adore him with all my heart and soul. I used to ride in local rodeos until I retired Reno at the age of 16. Now, he resides in Milton, Ga. and is taken care of daily at a boarding facility where I see him a couple times a week. I enjoy working out, running, drawing and reading! If I'm not at the barn or at work, you can usually find me out in advance tires with my daughter, or with my husband taking our dog Silo for a walk. I work at a local animal hospital and have several years experience with companion pets and even some exotics! I aspire to become a anesthesiologist in small animal veterinarian medicine! I have a flexible schedule and would be happy to discuss arrangements for your pet from time sensitive medication dosing, morning walks and multiple feeding schedules. No two pets are alike! That's why I take extra care and time to go over your pets individual needs. I have a degree in animal medicine so I am proficient in animal care, emergency critical care and overall animal health and well being.

“Max enjoyed his time with Lena. She was very attentive to him and provided him with great care during his visit. This was his first time away from his family, so her kindness was very important.

About: I grew up working on Cheryl's farm. Savethehorses. Helped look after all kinds of animals including over 15 dogs. There was never a dull moment being surrounded by all types of animals in my care. I currently own 3 dogs now but have owned up to 5 dogs at one time and cats in the past. I have raised a couple dog liters as well as one cat liter. All found amazing homes and I have been able to stay connected to watch them grow and thrive. I have training in animal behavior as it is important to know what to look for when caring after someone else's animal, even your own. Things can happen fast and you have to be able to know what to do next. I have raised three male dogs in my house hold and as you probably can guess, things can get overwhelming but it's important to know what to do if an animal makes a quick decision that can change the situation very quickly. Each animal has their own specific needs and I will be sure to follow what is needed for your fur babies to thrive while you are away or working in within your home. Whether it is my animal I'm caring for or someone else's, I take it very seriously to ensure the proper care is given. I have a senior dog at home as well, she is 13yrs old with cancer and a deteriorating spinal cord disease who gets supplements every morning amongst other medications. She is my couch potato but my absolute world, she is fragile and living out the last years of her life being the wonderful potato she is. I have experience in birthing two dog liters and 1 cat liter. Experienced in what is needed before and after birth. Extra care if needed. I have worked along the side of a professional dog trainer as well as helped run a boarding and training facility up to 30 dogs, being one out of two kennel techs. I work at a vet hospital in ellijay, ga for dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds currently. I am looking to help others out who need the extra hand in caring for their fur babies. If your working from home or away or just simply need the extra hand. I've got you! Sometimes it takes a village and it's important to know you can trust someone to take care of your fur babies no matter the size or fluff. It's important to take your pups for a walk or utilize the pets favorite way to get all that energy out could be throwing a ball or Sometimes even going for a run if you have any that are like my huskies and cattle dogs, that energy never dies.

About: I have two of my own dogs. One of them actually just had puppies and I delivered them and took care of them myself. I love big dog breeds I work full time until four Monday through Friday. I would have time to after I get off work. I am very excited to be helping others with their dogs. I take care of my two golden retrievers I have all the time. I take them on long walks everyday after I get off of work and they are very well trained and behaved
About: With a lifelong passion for dogs, I bring a wealth of experience to my dog sitting services. Growing up with dogs, I've developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. Now, as a proud dog mom of three fur babies and the owner of a small business tailored just to pups, you can rest assured that your babies will be cared for in a loving and fun environment. 🫶🏼🫶🏼 As a full-time worker with flexible hours, I seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine through thoughtful planning and prioritization. Here is what a day in our household looks like with my 3 pups to give you an idea: **Morning Ritual**: Each morning, I dedicate the first 30 minutes to an hour to my pups. This includes a refreshing walk or playtime, allowing them to stretch their legs and get some exercise while I enjoy the fresh air and bond with them. **Flexible Breaks**: With my flexible work schedule, I can take advantage of breaks throughout the day. During these breaks, I make it a point to check in on my pups, giving them attention, a quick play session, or just some affectionate cuddles. **Midday Engagement**: When my work allows, I set aside time around lunchtime to either take my dogs out for another short walk or engage them in interactive play. This keeps them stimulated and helps break up their day. **Evening Quality Time**: After work, I prioritize quality time with my pups. Whether it’s a longer walk, a visit to the dog park, or training sessions, I make sure they get ample exercise and mental stimulation, reinforcing our bond. **Weekend Adventures**: On weekends, I plan longer outings or fun activities, such as hiking, going to the lake, adventures to the ballpark or visiting pet-friendly places. This not only provides them with physical exercise but also allows us to work on social interaction while exploring and enjoying our time together. By incorporating these strategies, I ensure that my pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for, all while successfully balancing my work commitments. Now, this is merely just an example of my every day with my own boys, When imagining what you may or may not need when it comes to caring for your pet, customizing yours and your pet’s needs is always essential. Caring for someone else's pet in their home requires attention to detail, respect for their routines, and a genuine love for animals. Here is what that looks like when tending to your pet and their needs: 1. **Understanding the Pet’s Needs**: Before starting, I have a detailed conversation with the pet owner to learn about the pet’s daily routine, dietary needs, exercise requirements, and any specific behaviors or quirks. 2. **Following Instructions**: Adhering strictly to the care instructions provided by the pet owner. This includes feeding schedules, medication administration, and any special care instructions. 3. **Creating a Comfortable Environment**: When possible, I like to do a meet & greet with the pup(s) and their owners to ensure they are comfortable come time for me to start caring for them. Maintaining the pet's usual environment as much as possible. Keeping their sleeping area, toys, and feeding spots in the same locations to minimize stress. 4. **Establishing a Routine**: Sticking to the pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. Consistency helps the pet feel secure and comfortable while their owner is away. 5. **Providing Plenty of Attention**: Spending quality time with the pet to ensure they feel loved and cared for while their owner is away. Engaging in play, training, or simply cuddling to keep them happy. Of course happy to incorporate things you as a pet owner may request as needed. 6. **Staying Active**: Ensuring the pet gets enough physical activity according to their needs. Taking them for walks, playing fetch, or engaging in other activities they enjoy. 7. **Maintaining Cleanliness**: Keeping the pet's living area clean. This includes regularly changing their water, cleaning up after them, and maintaining their litter box if applicable. 8. **Monitoring Health and Behavior**: Keeping an eye on the pet's health and behavior. Such as changes in appetite, appearance, mannerisms or energy levels, notifying the owner immediately. 9. **Emergency Contacts**: I make sure to have a list of emergency contacts, including the owner's vet and an alternate emergency contact. Knowing what to do in case of an emergency. 10. **Providing Updates**: Regularly updating the pet owner on how their pet is doing. Sending photos or messages to reassure them and keep them connected to their furry baby. These guidelines I have can ensure you that your pet will receive the best care possible while you’re away. Fostering trust and peace of mind for both you and your pet. 😇🫶🏼
About: I have only ever cared for certain dogs for very short intervals of time. I care for my personal dog, which is a yorkshire terrier/poodle mix, and he is a small dog under 15 pounds. I have walked a few dogs before that were of medium and big size. I am a very caring person and love dogs of every breed. I only want the very best for your furry companions because I would want the same for mine. I am hoping to gain a lot of experience from pet sitting and hope that you consider me a good fit as your sitter. I do not have any special skills, I just really love dogs and want to spend my spare time having a ton of fun with them. Thank you. I work 3 12 hour shifts per week from 7pm-7am so I am available on my days off for drop ins and walks! I prefer a notice a couple of weeks in advance if booking an overnight stay so I am hopefully able to tweak my work schedule. Thanks! My dog sleeps in the bed with my husband and I and is free to roam around the house during the day. I will care for your dog however you prefer.
About: Let me come take care of your fur babies! I provide excellent, individually catered care for each pet and I have the extra experience being a registered veterinarian technician! Does your pet need special care? No problem at all! I can cater to any need; whether that be a playful puppy that needs to go on a long run to get some energy out or an older senior pet that needs daily medications and extra cuddle time. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, a variety of reptiles, birds, fish, turtles, and other farm and exotic pets! Just let me know the details and I would be happy to care for them too! A little about me: Besides being an overall animal lover, I graduated in June 2019 with my Associates Degree in Veterinarian Nursing. I have a horse named Reno; who is a 23 yr old quarter paint! I adore him with all my heart and soul. I used to ride in local rodeos until I retired Reno at the age of 16. Now, he resides in Milton, Ga. and is taken care of daily at a boarding facility where I see him a couple times a week. I enjoy working out, running, drawing and reading! If I'm not at the barn or at work, you can usually find me out in advance tires with my daughter, or with my husband taking our dog Silo for a walk. I work at a local animal hospital and have several years experience with companion pets and even some exotics! I aspire to become a anesthesiologist in small animal veterinarian medicine! I have a flexible schedule and would be happy to discuss arrangements for your pet from time sensitive medication dosing, morning walks and multiple feeding schedules. No two pets are alike! That's why I take extra care and time to go over your pets individual needs. I have a degree in animal medicine so I am proficient in animal care, emergency critical care and overall animal health and well being.
About: I have always had a strong love for animals. I own animals of my own, and they are like children to me. I love meeting new animals and getting to know them. I am a very active person and playful. I have so much love to give out to all animals! I have had a lot of experience taking care of furry friends. I am a student in college, but I'm looking for easy ways to earn money. I thought I would put myself put there for others to know that I am here to help with animals, so I could have a fun, easy, and flexible job to help me make a better living for myself to get through school. I also have been volunteering at Pickens Animal Shelter for awhile now, so I have met numerous different types of furry friends. I am very patient and have experience with frighened, nervous, and even agressive animals that just need more compassion. I also have experience with taking care of livestock, including llamas! Unfortunately, I'm not able to have fun with furry friends 24/7, but I am still flexible and usually don't have issues working out schedules that are needed. For overnight booking, I definitely prepare to be there majority of the time. I love my let's very much and they are a good mix between inside and outside dogs. I pretty much give them free will to pick. They always sleep with me at night. I have lots of land to play on. In a client's home, I will follow any instructions or rules they ask. Otherwise, I try and do what is best for the pets and make them comfortable and I have no problem cuddling and sleeping with them too!

“Julie and Michael were so easy to work with when our leaving and arriving times changed. The dog had a wonderful time at their wonderful place. They took great care of Rosie and she enjoyed her stay with them. Would use them again.”
“Bo really seemed to enjoy his time at Reyna's place. It was ideal for him since they have a puppy for him to play with plus their sweet sons who play with him. Reyna sent pictures and updates showing what Bo was doing and how happy he was. He was worn out by the time he came home! I will definitely plan on booking with Reyna again.”
“Pat took great care of my Gracie. She sent regular photos & was patient with Gracie’s wild moods. She has a lovely home & a nice fenced backyard. Her dog was playful & a good companion for mine. Thank you Pat!”

“Goldendoodle Queisha took wonderful care of our 6-year-old Goldendoodle. We really appreciated the updates and the stress-free boarding experience for the day. We look forward to using her services again in the future.”
“This was a somewhat last-minute request, and I truly lucked out with Cynthia! She made Xavier feel welcome from the moment we walked through the door. She sent multiple updates each day, which gave me so much peace of mind, and it was obvious that Xavier had an absolute blast during his stay. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“I highly recommend Emmanuel, he was really good with sending me pictures and videos of my dog , being the first time I had to leave my dog I wasn't prepared for it and sure how this was going to be, but after the Greet and meet with Emmanuel , his wife and their 2 dogs I knew my dog was going to a safe place. Emmanuel was really good at asking and answering questions for me, about my dog's stay. The first time I meet with them I knew my dog was going to have an amazing time. I would definitely use his service again. Thank you”
“Very beautiful and kind family. Angie and her family took very good care of Capone. With most dogs Capone got mildly injured but Angie immediately notified me and cared for Capone. She kept me updated regarding his status and health while I was away on travel. Upon my return to pick up Capone he was happy and vibrant as the day I left him with Angie and her family. I am very comfortable with rebooking another session with the family. Will definitely be using her services in the foreseeable future. Thank you for taking such good care of my fury friend. A+ boarder”
“Candie was quick to respond to a very last minute booking. She and her family were so kind and welcomed our dog to her family for a lengthy period of time. Jax had a blast playing and swimming. We received pictures and an update every evening. We will definitely book again!”
“If you are looking for a great dog sitter, look no further. We have been using Ryan for a couple of years with complete satisfaction. Our dog loves going to his house, and we are confident that he is getting the best care. Highly recommend.”
“Karen and her Husband David were absolutely amazing with Koko! They treated her like family from the moment I dropped her off and kept me updated with sweet messages and photos the entire time. I could tell Koko was happy, comfortable, and well cared for . I had total peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. I will definitely book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly loving and responsible sitter♥️”
“Very responsible and great communication! I was nervous leaving my little dog Carson with someone new especially since he has separation anxiety but Yamileth put my mind at ease. She even threw in a complimentary doggy drop-off. Thank you, Yamileth!”
“Tiffany watched our cat during the Thanksgiving holiday. We were coming up from Florida to have Thanksgiving with my family and our kitty couldn't come because of all the dogs. He's a sensitive guy and isn't used to being away from his dog brother so we really wanted to make sure he was coddled (lol) and felt comfy in a quiet space and she definitely made sure he got what he needed. She updated us multiple times a day and it was so helpful to know he was safe. If we are ever back up in that area, we would def book her again. We so appreciated the care, concern, and love she had for him.”
“Charity and her whole family were amazing!! They treated Millie like she was a part of their family which made us so much more at ease being out of the country. She sent us professional like pictures of her every day and updates as to how she was doing. She even let us know that Millie may have allergies due to some paw licking. She was incredibly communicative and Millie seemed so happy! I’m honestly surprised she wanted to come home with the amazing time she was having!! So grateful that they were so good to her and hope Millie will be welcome in their home again!”
About: I'm a dog behavior specialist, not just a sitter. I understand canine psychology and body language, helping dogs feel calm, safe, and understood. I have years of experience with anxious, fearful, reactive, and large-breed dogs. Every dog receives patient, individualized care. Working with dogs is my full-time profession, so pet care is part of my daily life—not just a side job. Because I work from home, your dog will receive plenty of attention, exercise, mental enrichment, and personalized care throughout the day. My home is a calm and structured environment where dogs feel safe and understood. As a dog behavior specialist, I don't just provide boarding—I help dogs build confidence, reduce stress, and practice good habits. Every dog receives individual attention based on their personality, needs, and comfort level.
“Sara and her family are amazing! I felt completely at ease leaving Nina (our princess labrador) for multiple days while we were traveling up north. I received not only encouraging words before the trip, but also fabulous photos to make me smile and laugh. I literally watched my pup have the ultimate vacation while my family traveled. She was loved by not only Sara, but her sons as well. Nina thought they were the best! While she was excited to come home, she definitely would have stayed longer if she had her way. I was so comfortable, we even added an extra night so that we didn't need to stress about a late flight, etc. She even had cookies for my family!!!! I would book with her again in a heartbeat. She will be my go-to from now on. We love Sara, her family, and her pup, Luna! A+, 5 stars, 10 out of 10.”
“Our dog Lucy had a great time staying with Megha and her family! Megha was very attentive to her needs and kept us updated through out each day. We will definitely be bringing her back for another stay !”
“Seriously fantastic. One of our pups was getting over an upset stomach issue when we dropped her off. Which means Sarah had to clean up some messes and we truly felt terrible about that. Sarah kept us up to date on how she was improving, and she took the extra care she needed which we are endlessly grateful for. Hopefully that never happens again, but we genuinely felt like Sarah handled it well.”
