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.
“Antonio took wonderful care of my dog, Lucy — even on short notice! He kept me updated throughout her stay with messages and photos, and his communication was always quick and friendly.

About: I’m a huge dog lover, there isn’t much that I’m more passionate about than dogs. I come from a big dog loving family. I’ve been a dog owner most of my life. Since I was about 8 I would study and research all I could about dogs and I’ve even trained pretty much every family dog we’ve. It was mostly the basics and cool tricks. Even til this day I enjoy teaching my pup new fun tricks I pretty much have open availability on weekends. I work through the week but I’m willing to help out with the pups through the week as well My pup has free roam in my house. Only place off limits is the kitchen but I like for her to be comfortable . My pup is crate trained but I allow her to stay out if I’ll only be gone for a few hours. Making sure the house is clean first

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.
About: Hi! I’m Taylor, a lifelong animal lover and proud dog parent to my pup, Zora. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I treat every animal in my care like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, and great at reading animal body language. Whether your dog is high-energy and playful or more on the shy, anxious side, I take the time to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m especially experienced with: Dogs with separation anxiety Puppies who are still learning manners I believe in clear communication, consistency, and lots of positive reinforcement. You’ll always get updates, photos, and honest check-ins while you’re away. I know that peace of mind matters just as much as good care. I currently work from home full time, and dogs and cats truly mean the world to me. I structure my personal schedule around my pet care commitments so I can be fully present and reliable for every animal I care for. I love being outdoors, so walks, playtime, and hands-on pet care naturally fit into my daily routine. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in, it’s a core part of my day and something I genuinely enjoy. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with a dog park, access to a connected trail system, and walking paths around a nearby lake, which makes it easy to provide safe, enriching outdoor time. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. For pets who experience separation anxiety or simply need a little extra security, I have an impact dog crate available for overnight stays or short periods when I step out. I only use it when appropriate and with owner approval, ensuring it feels like a calm, positive space. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining routines, following instructions closely, and creating a calm, predictable environment. I treat every pet and home with respect, and my goal is always to build trust, both with your pet and with you.

About: I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to each dog's unique personality and pace. Whether your dog loves a brisk walk, a sniff walk, or needs a little extra motivation, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I'll treat your dog like family, arrive on time, and provide photo updates and a summary after every walk so you know exactly how your pet is doing. My goal is to make every walk a positive, enjoyable experience that gives your dog exercise, enrichment, and plenty of attention. I'm currently working remotely and part-time, so my schedule is very flexible, and I have availability mornings, noon and late afternoons to care for your pets. I have a fenced-in yard, but I take pets for three structured walks during the day. Since it's summer and hot, I take them on a 1.4-mile walk in the morning and two shorter 10-minute walks at midday and late afternoon.
About: I have had two dogs and one cat: an 11-year-old Bichon Frise, a Chihuahua who passed away at 17, and a cat who is now four and a half years old. I got my first dog when I was 11 years old, and from then on, I spent all of my allowance on my pets’ spay/neuter surgeries, routine checkups, treats, and supplements. I have an unusual amount of patience when it comes to animals, because I grew up in a family that truly loves them. I also have a lot of experience caring for very young pets under two months old, as well as experience being around large dogs. My work schedule is three days in the office and two days remote, so I have plenty of time to do the part time job during the week. When I take care of pets, I focus not only on their physical needs, but also on making sure they feel emotionally cared for. I like to keep a regular routine for them every day, including dedicated playtime and treat time. I also often buy them new toys and talk to them about my day, even though they may not fully understand.
About: I have taken care of and been best friends with cats and dogs all of my life. Nothing brings me more joy than loving and caring for an animal. I have collaborated with animal rescues on many occasions to provide assistance for needy animals and continue to be an advocate for animals. Pet care is something I am active in doing every day, as an owner of four cats. Every day is about feeding, watering, and litter box maintenance, in addition to plenty of love and attention (which is gladly NON-STOP). My number one priority is animal safety and owner-security. I always am very anxious leaving my animals in the hands of someone I don’t know very well and I can assure you that I will take the task of caring for your pet with the utmost importance.

“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 .”
About: I have lived with cats my whole life and have great attention to detail for them. I am also experienced with dogs of different ages and sizes. The most important thing to me is that your pet is happy and healthy. I am open to any opportunites, I have also taken care of chickens and rabbits. I also can take care of plants and maintain the house if you are away. I am currently not working so I am able to devote a lot of my attention to your beloved pets. I am very flexible and always try to communicate if there is an issue or I don't know something. I am always free on weekdays but I may have limited availability on the weekends. I always take care of the space I am in and try to leave it cleaner than I found it. And of course the pets are the main focus and the center of attention! I am very good at following written instructions and if I have any questions I will always ask.

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.
“After our first sitter cancel at the last minute Lily accepted and was absolutely amazing. She was warm and friendly and sent the cutest pictures of Bella enjoying herself throughout her stay. We will definitely be using Lily again - Thank you so much for helping us, greatly appreciated.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Isabella was fantastic and took such great job of our pup!! We are so thankful he had such a nice place to call home while we were out of town. Super responsive and provided great updates. Would highly recommend!”
“Sydnie was awesome for our dog, Louise! Very responsive, personable, and kind. I think Louise was actually a little depressed when she got home because of all the love and attention she'd been getting from Sydnie. A lovely experience!”
“Anika is a wonderful sitter! She communicates very well throughout the stay, offers lots of pictures, and gives your fur baby lots of exercise. Royce has stayed with here 3 times and loves visiting! I’ll always book Anika for short or long stays ☺️!”
“Will be booking again!! Genesis had a blast of a time with her and sky!! Courtney was very attentive and made me feel so comfortable while I was away. So many videos and images.”
