She's very kind, gentle, and caring, providing perfect care for both our sweet kitties.

Absolutely will book her again if/when I need a sitter, you can tell how much she loves what she does.”

Our greet and meet was perfect it gave us 95% confidence we picked the right family. They sent us lovely pictures of Cha Cha just about every day. A lovely video displaying Cha Cha's strong affection for them when she dragged her blankie to be next them at all times. So...cute. It was extremely helpful and comforting for us to be out of the country on vacation and not having to worry about our precious cargo back home. She was very relaxed and happy when we picked her up.

I felt lucky to have found a reliable caregiver for our sweet dog.Thanks, Katie!”

“I can't recommend Taylor enough! She took incredible care of my 15-year-old cat, Ashes, who is currently in hospice care. Taylor was very easy to get in touch with, followed all my instructions perfectly, and was a joy to communicate with. She truly went above and beyond to make sure Ashes was well cared for. I received reports and pictures of Ashes after every visit. Her kindness and dedication gave me so much peace of mind during my trip. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”
“I have never felt more comfortable leaving my dogs! She was an angel. I have big dogs that tend to bark quite a lot and she immediately was able to calm them down and bond with them. Sent numerous photos throughout the entire time we were away and gave plenty of updates. I would not go to anybody else!!”
“Amanda was an excellent sitter for my cat! She sent daily photo updates which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she genuinely cared for my cat and treated her with so much kindness. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable sitter.”
“Catie did amazing with watching our cat, Avery. Catie sent lots of pictures while we were away and even brought her kids along to keep Avery entertained. We would highly recommend for anyone looking for a great sitter!”
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.
“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.”
“My cat Harry was very happy with Leah and has requested her to watch him over the holidays! He was well taken care of and Leah also got the Mail for us! She did an outstanding job!”
“Charis was absolutely incredible!! She made us feel so comfortable with leaving our kitties for the first time. She was so quick to reply and sent so many pictures of the cats during her drop in visits and i could tell they felt safe and comfortable around her! She took very great care of our pets and I will absolutely book her again!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve spent my whole life caring for them. As the primary caregiver for my families pets, I’ve gained a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and behaviors. I have 10+ years of hands‑on cat care experience, including raising abandoned kittens that I bottle‑fed from just days old, caring for elderly cats, and everything in between.
“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: 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.
About: I have just as much experience with cats as I do dogs. I love them both a lot. My cat is 19 years old right now and he is one of my best friends. I know some cats aren't as loving as others, but I feel like cats have been drawn to me in most of my experiences. They definitely wanna be loved just as much as dogs.
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 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!
“I can’t say enough positive things about Branka! I have used her several times for drop in visits to check in our two cats while we’ve traveled out of town. She is very responsive and professional and our kitties, Lilly and Max, love her! She’s great at sending pics and updating us. When Max was sick, she was even able to assist with giving him medication (which for those of you who have cats, you know getting them to eat a pill is not the easiest task.) Also, our other cat Lilly gets bad separation anxiety, but Branka is always able to calm her and now I’m pretty sure they are best friends :) So if you are looking for someone to take great care of your fur babies while you are away, I highly recommend her!”

“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. Max made a new friend with Lena's Yorkie, Freddie. Lena sent us a very nice photo of the two new friends. We will definitely contact Lena for future visits to that area. Thank you very much, Lena!”
“Cooper loves daycare with Reyna and her family! Their large fenced-in yard gives him plenty of space to run and play with their sweet puppy, Maple. He loved being part of their family for the day! Reyna sent me great pictures of him zooming around the yard and relaxing near the boys while they worked on school. He came home happy, tired, and ready for a nap! We’ll definitely be coming back!”

About: Reliable, structured care is what sets me apart. I’m happy to follow your established routines and house rules to ensure consistency for your pet. I’m comfortable with puppies (crate routines and reinforcing good habits) as well as senior dogs who need a slower, more attentive pace. I regularly care for dogs during the weekday and am experienced managing routines, timing, and midday coverage. I prioritize dependable timing, clear communication, and making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ve owned dogs for over 15 years and have been pet sitting since 1995. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Pet care is already part of my regular weekday routine, allowing me to provide consistent and reliable service. I structure my schedule to maintain dependable timing for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I’m typically available for weekday midday and afternoon care, and I also offer boarding with a safe, structured environment and plenty of outdoor time for play, exercise, and fresh air. I don’t currently have dogs of my own, which allows me to provide a calm environment and give your pet my full attention. I keep my schedule organized to ensure each pet receives attentive, well-paced care and doesn’t feel rushed or overlooked. Safety and consistency are my top priorities in both my home and my client’s home. I follow each pet’s established routine closely, including feeding schedules, crate or free-roam preferences, and any specific care instructions. In my home, I provide a calm, structured environment with a large, fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor time, exercise, and enrichment. Pets are never left unattended with unknown animals, and I prioritize a low-stress setting tailored to each dog’s temperament. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and maintain your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and secure. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any changes that might indicate stress or discomfort. I’m also comfortable administering basic medications if needed. I focus on clear communication, dependable care, and making sure both you and your pet feel confident and at ease.
“I feel so fortunate to have found Priya to help with my fur baby! She accepted a last minute booking for doggy daycare this week when my pup needed to be out of the house for home repairs (we had just done a meet & greet and scheduled boarding for Thanksgiving weekend). Priya made Axle’s first doggy daycare experience a positive one for all of us! She welcomed him each (early) morning and he had the best days playing with her sweet pup Miya & another friend. Priya sent lots of pictures and videos each day that made me smile! She is lovely and kind and took such good care of my fur baby. She has a beautiful home & Axle loved exploring her fenced yard and crashing throughout the house after play sessions. He played hard and (reluctantly) came home exhausted and so happy! She made him feel so welcome and put my mind at ease. She is a fantastic communicator and truly cared for Axle like her own. She kept him safe and well-fed. Axle is looking forward to Thanksgiving weekend with Priya and her family! I am so thankful she joined Rover! Don’t hesitate to book with her if she has availability!”
“We came down from Michigan for a wedding and just needed someplace for my puppy to hang out while we attended the ceremony and reception. Arya and Jinghua were very responsive and quick to answer any questions. Most importantly, my puppy had a great stay. This was my first time using Rover and was extremely nervous about leaving my baby but this was a great experience. I would recommend Arya and Jinghua and would have them watch my dog again if I’m ever back in the area.”
“Ashley is the kindest human on the planet. I was so blessed to find her prior to a work/family trip for daycare. We did a meet and greet prior to our start and my 2 pups immediately went nuts for her. I knew that they would be in safe hands for the week and they were so excited to get there the following day and every day! She has an amazing pet friendly house, backyard and such sweet pups of her own. I wish I could move her to MD!!! If you have the chance to book her, you will be as blessed as me! Thanks Ashley!!”
About: "Dog lover alert! 🐾 Offering reliable and fun dog sitting in and around Ballground. Walks, playtime, cuddles, and more!

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve spent my whole life caring for them. Being the primary caregiver for my own family pets has given me a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and behaviors. Over the years I’ve raised and cared for dozens of animals, including abandoned kittens that I bottle‑fed from a few days old. These experiences taught me patience, problem‑solving, and how to stay calm and capable in all kinds of situations. I’ve also provided pet care for family friends, neighbors, and coworkers, giving me hands‑on experience with many different breeds, ages, and temperaments. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make them feel safe, understood, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work part‑time on weekends while attending college full‑time throughout the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can easily adjust my routine to make sure your pets get the care, attention, and consistency they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make pet care a priority. I live on 6+ acres with plenty of space for dogs to explore and enjoy, but my yard is not fenced, so all outdoor time is always supervised for safety. I have a friendly Great Pyrenees named Lily and a cat named Willow, who I bottle‑fed and raised from a kitten. They’re both very sweet, but I can keep my pets completely separate from yours if needed to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention to their behavior, keep a controlled environment, and follow any routines or rules you prefer. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with caution, love, and respect.
About: I've always had pets of my own or in my care; from my childhood golden retriever mix to the cats that have allowed me in "their" home, to working as a caretaker in a Georgia county animal shelter and fostering kittens, puppies, and adult dogs through Athens Canine Rescue, animals make me happy. . I'm comfortable taking care of dogs of all shapes, sizes, and needs, either in my house or yours. While I don't offer training, I have experience handling dogs with behavioral issues such as separation anxiety, fear aggression, and resource guarding, and am happy to accommodate your pet in whatever way he/she needs. I'm excited to host your pets in their home away from home. I work full time from home as a data analyst, so your companion will have constant daytime supervision. With about 1 full acre fenced in, my home is secluded, peaceful, and a super place for your friend to spend time. Just let me know what you want for your pet and I'm more than happy to accommodate; in my home, my pets come first!
“Emmanuel was an excellent pet sitter. He took the time to introduce his dogs to mine in my presence, was very attentive, and provided regular photo updates. His communication was prompt and professional, making the experience stress-free. Highly recommend!”

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.

“Charis did a wonderful job with my scardy cat dog. She was willing to meet her early and let my dog get used to her before their first walk together. She’s been super quick to respond and very communicative! It’s made me worry a lot less about my pup through the day!”
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: 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 want to take care of peoples pets like they are my own. I’ve had my own pets (cat and dog) my whole life. I also take care of dogs and cats for other people all the time. When I am home from college. I am usually very free all the time and I love taking care of you guys dogs and cats! I will make sure to follow all the clients rules and watch them like the pets are my own. I will always make sure to leave everything clean and treat the houses like my own.
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!
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!
About: Lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, from young puppies and kittens to senior pets. I'm comfortable with dog walks, trips to the park, feeding, administering oral medications, litter box care, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need. I'm reliable, patient, and have a flexible schedule, so your pets will always receive loving, dependable care while you're away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I work relatively short shifts, so I have plenty of free time throughout the week to dedicate to pets. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on walks, playing with them, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company. Available weekdays and weekends! I always follow the pet owner's instructions to make sure each pet stays comfortable and maintains their normal routine. In a client's home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and attention, and receive any special care they may need. I also keep the home clean and make sure pets are safe and secure at all times.
About: Reliable, structured care is what sets me apart. I’m happy to follow your established routines and house rules to ensure consistency for your pet. I’m comfortable with puppies (crate routines and reinforcing good habits) as well as senior dogs who need a slower, more attentive pace. I regularly care for dogs during the weekday and am experienced managing routines, timing, and midday coverage. I prioritize dependable timing, clear communication, and making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ve owned dogs for over 15 years and have been pet sitting since 1995. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Pet care is already part of my regular weekday routine, allowing me to provide consistent and reliable service. I structure my schedule to maintain dependable timing for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I’m typically available for weekday midday and afternoon care, and I also offer boarding with a safe, structured environment and plenty of outdoor time for play, exercise, and fresh air. I don’t currently have dogs of my own, which allows me to provide a calm environment and give your pet my full attention. I keep my schedule organized to ensure each pet receives attentive, well-paced care and doesn’t feel rushed or overlooked. Safety and consistency are my top priorities in both my home and my client’s home. I follow each pet’s established routine closely, including feeding schedules, crate or free-roam preferences, and any specific care instructions. In my home, I provide a calm, structured environment with a large, fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor time, exercise, and enrichment. Pets are never left unattended with unknown animals, and I prioritize a low-stress setting tailored to each dog’s temperament. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and maintain your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and secure. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any changes that might indicate stress or discomfort. I’m also comfortable administering basic medications if needed. I focus on clear communication, dependable care, and making sure both you and your pet feel confident and at ease.
“I really should just pay you for the pictures you take instead of the dog walking! 🤣 they’re hilarious & crack me up! Thank you for taking such great care of my fur baby. It brings me so much relief to know she’s having fun and in good hands, while I’m at work.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve spent my whole life caring for them. Being the primary caregiver for my own family pets has given me a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and behaviors. Over the years I’ve raised and cared for dozens of animals, including abandoned kittens that I bottle‑fed from a few days old. These experiences taught me patience, problem‑solving, and how to stay calm and capable in all kinds of situations. I’ve also provided pet care for family friends, neighbors, and coworkers, giving me hands‑on experience with many different breeds, ages, and temperaments. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make them feel safe, understood, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work part‑time on weekends while attending college full‑time throughout the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can easily adjust my routine to make sure your pets get the care, attention, and consistency they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make pet care a priority. I live on 6+ acres with plenty of space for dogs to explore and enjoy, but my yard is not fenced, so all outdoor time is always supervised for safety. I have a friendly Great Pyrenees named Lily and a cat named Willow, who I bottle‑fed and raised from a kitten. They’re both very sweet, but I can keep my pets completely separate from yours if needed to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention to their behavior, keep a controlled environment, and follow any routines or rules you prefer. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with caution, love, and respect.

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.”

So grateful that they were so good to her and hope Millie will be welcome in their home again!”
