“We had a wonderful experience with Jelisa! She was incredibly flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times, which made our schedule so much easier to manage. Throughout the stay, she kept us updated with daily messages and sent plenty of pictures, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, it was clear that she was very loving and attentive with our dog. You could tell our baby was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We truly appreciated the communication and kindness shown, and we would absolutely trust her to watch our dog again. Highly recommend!”
About: Happy trails and happy tails! We adore animals and truly enjoy caring for them. It’s something that already fits naturally into our daily life. Living in a quieter, more spacious setting, we wanted to create a safe, calm place where pets can feel comfortable while their owners are away. We understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so we focus on giving them attention, consistency, and a low stress environment. For us, we know how it feels to consider our pets as family members and it’s something we take seriously and genuinely brings us joy! We have had the privilege of loving several fur babies over the years and know what it means to have trusted partners and friends that can help out when the need arises. Our sweet companions should have a comfortable and safe space to relax when families have to be away. In recent years we’ve struggled to find that for our own pets so we’ve decided to open our home and land in order to help those looking for a reliable option for care. Sharing our hobby farm would be an honor for those who feel it would be a good fit for their families! We look forward to growing trusted partnerships in our community. We are homeschooling family of 3 that spends the majority of our days working and learning here on our mini hobby farm. My husband remote works and one of us can be found here most days of the week. We have 2 male yellow labs that hold down the outside spaces and female golden doodle that keeps things fun inside. They are very social and friendly with other animals. We also have 3 outdoor cats, a bunny in a hutch, and a large coop of chickens that free range in the afternoons. We do mealtimes 2x per day and have plenty of fresh clean water available at all times. Playtime and walks are every day around noon and again in the evenings. Potty breaks 3-4 times per day or as needed. For the safety of our furry friends we do crate or provide a smaller space for resting and relaxing times. If your pet cannot be confined in smaller rooms or spaces throughout the day, let’s discuss how to best care for their needs prior to booking a stay.
“Pamela is amazing! Great communication and very happy puppy! Thank you so much for taking care of our Cooper while we had to run far out of town for a family affair. This was my first time using Rover and I'm glad Pamela was available to help us. She left no doubt that Cooper was being well taken care of. Don't think twice about leaving your furry family member with her!”
“Belle loves to be with Sandra and Brett and Jack! She runs up the stairs excited to go play and always make new friends. She watches tv on the sofa with Brett and snuggles on the bed at night. We’re so happy to have found Belle a home away from home where she’s happy and comfortable and cared for in a loving manner. We’re no longer anxiety ridden when we leave her. Thank you so much for making all our lives easier!!”
“Alexis is very kind and an excellent communicator. Her home is spacious and has just the right energy for your furbaby. She is organized and made sure that I was able to drop off and pick up at my desired time. She sent me updates which made me feel very comfortable that my pup was having a great time and adjusted well! She was able to maintain his high energy and he obviously loved that! I know he had a great time in her care and we will be back!”
“Bandito stayed with Jessica for 3 nights and he can’t wait to meet his new friends again. I am also Happy that Jessica was able to accommodate my short notice request. My transactions and communications were wonderful and easy. Jessica will be my first option for the above reasons. Thank you Jessica!”
“Gabrielle was great with my Shadow! Had an small incident happen but she was in control of it right away & she informed me with pics & everything. She is the best…Shadow came home all tired out from playing & slept so good that night. Thank u soo much again!”
“Heather and her husband were so patient with Miley when she developed an unexpected bout of separation anxiety. She and her family went above and beyond to help Miley settle in. I'm grateful for the updates she provided - Miley clearly had fun with other dogs and kids around. I highly recommend Heather and her family to others looking for exceptional care for your pets.”
“Janine did a great job and sent updates while I was away on vacationfor a few days. My pup was comfortable and had a great time playing with her pets too. I would not hesitate to book again.”
“Kristina was amazing! I didn't even have to do a meet and greet (because we were so far away and didn't have time) and I still trusted her with my boys. The boys loved her and her family. She has a lot of space living out in Dallas, GA. I would recommend her to anyone and definitely use her services again. Thanks Kristina!”
“5 stars all the way! Benjamin took care of our senior dog on a recent trip to st simons. She is on tons of meds I clouding eye drops and required a lot of special attention. Benjamin was on top of it and never missed a pill or treatment. He took her on nice walks ans between him and his girlfriend gave her lots of loves and pets. His little dog Millie is super sweet ans friendly and just loved on my Rana too! Even though Rana is shy with other dogs they immediately hit it off and I think the visit was good for her! I will definitely book Benjamin again. Very friendly, professional and responsible!”
“Kristine watched our border collie during 4th of July. Our pup is scared of fireworks but Kristine put in extra care and work to make sure she was more than comfortable during that time. She took her to play at the beach, sent great pictures and was very communicative. It’s clear Kristine is extremely knowledgeable with all types of dogs. Definitely will be having Kristine watch our dog again, my husband and I both recommend you book with her!”
“Ashley was great! Flexible with drop off and pick up times and she sent me pictures throughout my dog’s stay, making me feel more at ease as we were out of town. Will definitely book with Ashley again if we are ever back in the area.”
“Melissa was amazing with my dog! She constantly provided so many great updates with photos. She clearly kept him very active which by taking him to the dog park and taking him on family outings because he was absolutely exhausted when he came home which is an extremely rare for him due to his breed and young age. Thank you so much for watching him! I felt so comfortable leaving him in your care and will absolutely be reaching out again the the future!”
“Yvonne was wonderful with Miley! I could tell when I walked in to pick her up that Miley had a good week and was at ease with Yvonne. I appreciated the pictures and updates! I would definitely ask Yvonne to keep Miley again if I had travel plans and she was willing - it was a good experience for Miley and mom!”
“We are so happy we found Jennifer! The care she gave our dog, her warm inviting home for our dog to stay and her sweet family’s attention to our dog was just what we were looking for. We will defiantly be having our dog stay in Jennifer’s care on our next trip!”
About: I’ve raised two dogs as puppies and have extensive experience in training them. My current dog, Penny, is a rescue and loves to run around and play outside. I make sure to provide attentive supervision so the dogs feel comfortable and at ease. I work from home full-time so I have plenty of opportunities to let the dogs out throughout the day for potty breaks or play time. Weather permitting, we take long walks each morning after breakfast, and at night after dinner. I have a fenced in yard so my dog spends a lot of time outside running around or just hanging out. I also have a large screened in porch when she needs a break from the sun. Penny sleeps in my office (her room) next to the bedroom which is where other dogs would sleep as well. I don’t allow dogs on furniture or sleep in the bed.
“Melanie is the greatest! She was so accommodating, extremely easy to communicate with and she provided daily updates with several photos. We are looking forward to our next trip soon and Melanie will be who we call again!”

About: I’ve been a cat mom for most of my life and currently have cats of my own. I grew up with cats and welcomed my first childhood cat, Miss Priss, when I was eight years old. She slept with me every night and lived a long, happy life until the age of 23, which taught me early on how important consistency, patience, and gentle care are — especially as cats age. I’m very comfortable caring for cats of all ages and personalities, from playful and social to shy or independent. I understand that cats thrive on routine and familiar environments, and I take a calm, observant approach to help them feel safe and comfortable while their humans are away. I’m happy to follow specific feeding schedules, litter routines, play preferences, medication needs, and any quirks that make your cat uniquely themselves. Whether your cat wants interactive play, quiet companionship, or just someone to check in and keep things steady, I’m here to provide thoughtful, attentive care.
About: Even though I love both, I am definitely a cat person. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playing, and giving cats plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every cat is different, so I’m happy to follow their usual routine and give them space when they need it
“Highly recommend! My cat was looked after so well and in every photo sent she looked so happy and taken care of when I had to be away for a few days. If you need someone who will look after your cat and provide them extra love I highly recommend these sitters!”
“Katia was wonderful! She kept our kitty lots of company, took great care of her and made sure she was loved and played with. She was great at keeping me updated and I have complete peace of mind while we were gone :)”
“Nicole is the best sitter. She always sends the cutest most playful pictures and keeps me updated on what Sylvester and her did that day. I can count on her to show up at a consistent time each morning and her communication is great.”
About: First off I am more than just a dog sitter..I am an animal lover and I have a lot of compassion for all dogs and animals ! Your dog/furbaby is going to think of me as a best friend before the day is over. I will be available at least 3 times a day to walk, feed, groom, play, and whatever else it is you and your dog need ! I have not only owned my own furbabies, but I have also helped take care of other people’s pets for at least 17 years now. I love all animals and can help take care of your pets even if it is more than just a dog..I also love and take care of cats, rabbits, birds, hamsters, fish, and more ! I work from home and only leave to drop-in on my other fur baby clients. So I am never gone any longer than 30 minutes a day. I have a fenced in yard, so all fur babies in my care get to roam free and I also take them on walks around my neighborhood for exercise. Not to mention the one on one attention they receive and endless love and cuddles! I make homemade dog treats too. Sweet potato, blueberries, and all!
About: I've had over 20 years of pet care experience, ranging between several different dog breeds and sizes, cats, rodents, reptiles, and even some bird-sitting. I understand each pet is different in their own way, some needing certain medications or volumes of food and water, and other pets are easier to take care of, but their owners need someone last minute to help watch and take care of their beloved pets. I also know when it comes to more than one pet in the household, some pets can get rowdy with each other and may tend to hurt one other, so I'm used to cleaning up after and treating the occasional bites or scratches they inflict. Having to give medications, give special food, and even seeing blood or recent wounds on animals doesn't stop me from providing the care they need while their owners are away at work or vacation or whatever else life has thrown their way. I've been known to be a reliable petsitter by many friends and family members over the years, and I make sure to follow all needs and specifications for each pet, regardless of their age and their size. At the moment, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and then on Mondays and Wednesdays I am attending a class from 9:30 AM to 12:30 AM, which anytime before or afterwards I can help walk or watch over pets. While I do not currently offer petsitting at my own home due to my roommates, I understand that every owner's household and every pet is different. I make sure that each of the doors and windows are closed and locked for the pet's safety, unless otherwise specified by the owners. If there are certain rooms or parts of the house off-limits to myself or the pets, I keep us away from those areas for the owner's privacy. And if the pets do tend to make a mess or I use any of the utilities of the home to help clean and take care of the pets, I make sure that everything is turned off and cleaned up afterwards so there are no messes for the owners when they return to their home and beloved pets.
About: My family always joked I’d become a crazy cat lady. Joke’s on them! I love all animals, but to be fair, cats are my favorite. 🐱 I understand that every cat has their own personality, whether they’re a cuddle bug, playful menace, shy baby, or prefer to admire you from afar. I’m experienced with senior cats, specialty diets, and administering oral and topical medications. Most importantly, I’m happy to meet your cat where they are and give them the care, attention, and space they need to feel comfortable while you’re away.
About: I grew up around pets my as a child and have owned dogs for 32 years of all sizes and types. I have always been the go to person for everyone to care for their pets and i love it. I have no problem feeding, bathing, training or walking your pet as if it were my own. Our pets are our children as well and we need to care for them the best way we can. I am self employed and work my own schedule so I can care for your pet Friday -Tuesdays 9am-3pm. Different days or later hours can be arranged with at least a weeks notice. I have a fenced yard and can Kennel the dog if needed but for the most part I prefer for them to get a feel of my home and my rules.
About: I have raised and cared for families, friends 🧡, and even coworkers' pets. Growing up, I always enjoyed watching veterinarians help our farm animals. My mother taught us about natural remedies we could find in nature to help cure or heal us over time. One memorable experience was when I saved a beloved cat from what we believed was antifreeze poisoning. Drawing on what I learned from my family and my work, I created activated charcoal using black coal from the fireplace. I mixed the powdered charcoal with warm milk and carefully forced it down my little cat's throat. Thankfully, I was able to save my cat, Taco 🌮 😺, who went on to live for many more happy years.

“Baxter enjoyed his day with Yvonne. She is loving and kind, has lots of dog toys to entertain our Baxter. We could see how comfortable Baxter was with her when we picked him up. Loved the pictures she sent while we were away! Highly recommend Yvonne.”
“Jessica took excellent care of our toy poodle Victor. Victor is normally shy and anxious when he’s away from home, but I could tell from the pictures that Jessica shared that he was having a great time and was being taken care of. We’ll definitely be using Jessica again!”
“Benjamin was a fantastic sitter for our 2-year-old high-energy black lab during our vacation on St. Simon’s. He went the extra mile entertaining our dog while we went on a biking/lunch excursion. He sent pictures during the day to assure us our boy was safe and happy. Seeing how much he was enjoying himself made it possible for us to thoroughly enjoy our outing. We highly recommend Benjamin and would hire him again in a heartbeat.”

About: Hi! I understand how important your pet is to you. We have two yorkies, Tyson and Wyatt, that are our children! We provide a caring, safe and active home for pups. Because we have two small dogs, we do prefer to sit for small dogs, under 15 pounds, to ensure everyone is safe. Our yorkies have gotten along with all dogs that they have been around. They love to play but quickly learn their boundaries. They are spoiled rotten with attention and your dog will be too! I work from home full time so there is usually someone always here to let them outside several times a day. If we go out we do put our pups in a pen I do keep my pups in a pen while I work and when we leave the home to ensure they are safe... and don't have accidents in the home!

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and have had one or two dogs of my own for most of my life.

I’m especially comfortable with high-energy and strong-willed dogs. I’m an active walker and runner, so I’m happy to give energetic pups plenty of exercise through long walks or even jogs. I also have experience with gentle, compassionate leash training for dogs who are still learning.

From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable and confident leaving him in her hands. She is incredibly trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely such a kind person.

“We had a wonderful experience with Jelisa! She was incredibly flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times, which made our schedule so much easier to manage. Throughout the stay, she kept us updated with daily messages and sent plenty of pictures, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, it was clear that she was very loving and attentive with our dog. You could tell our baby was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We truly appreciated the communication and kindness shown, and we would absolutely trust her to watch our dog again. Highly recommend!”
“Pamela is amazing! Great communication and very happy puppy! Thank you so much for taking care of our Cooper while we had to run far out of town for a family affair. This was my first time using Rover and I'm glad Pamela was available to help us. She left no doubt that Cooper was being well taken care of. Don't think twice about leaving your furry family member with her!”
“Belle loves to be with Sandra and Brett and Jack! She runs up the stairs excited to go play and always make new friends. She watches tv on the sofa with Brett and snuggles on the bed at night. We’re so happy to have found Belle a home away from home where she’s happy and comfortable and cared for in a loving manner. We’re no longer anxiety ridden when we leave her. Thank you so much for making all our lives easier!!”
“Alexis is very kind and an excellent communicator. Her home is spacious and has just the right energy for your furbaby. She is organized and made sure that I was able to drop off and pick up at my desired time. She sent me updates which made me feel very comfortable that my pup was having a great time and adjusted well! She was able to maintain his high energy and he obviously loved that! I know he had a great time in her care and we will be back!”
“Bandito stayed with Jessica for 3 nights and he can’t wait to meet his new friends again. I am also Happy that Jessica was able to accommodate my short notice request. My transactions and communications were wonderful and easy. Jessica will be my first option for the above reasons. Thank you Jessica!”
“Gabrielle was great with my Shadow! Had an small incident happen but she was in control of it right away & she informed me with pics & everything. She is the best…Shadow came home all tired out from playing & slept so good that night. Thank u soo much again!”
“Heather and her husband were so patient with Miley when she developed an unexpected bout of separation anxiety. She and her family went above and beyond to help Miley settle in. I'm grateful for the updates she provided - Miley clearly had fun with other dogs and kids around. I highly recommend Heather and her family to others looking for exceptional care for your pets.”
“Kristina was amazing! I didn't even have to do a meet and greet (because we were so far away and didn't have time) and I still trusted her with my boys. The boys loved her and her family. She has a lot of space living out in Dallas, GA. I would recommend her to anyone and definitely use her services again. Thanks Kristina!”
“5 stars all the way! Benjamin took care of our senior dog on a recent trip to st simons. She is on tons of meds I clouding eye drops and required a lot of special attention. Benjamin was on top of it and never missed a pill or treatment. He took her on nice walks ans between him and his girlfriend gave her lots of loves and pets. His little dog Millie is super sweet ans friendly and just loved on my Rana too! Even though Rana is shy with other dogs they immediately hit it off and I think the visit was good for her! I will definitely book Benjamin again. Very friendly, professional and responsible!”
“Kristine watched our border collie during 4th of July. Our pup is scared of fireworks but Kristine put in extra care and work to make sure she was more than comfortable during that time. She took her to play at the beach, sent great pictures and was very communicative. It’s clear Kristine is extremely knowledgeable with all types of dogs. Definitely will be having Kristine watch our dog again, my husband and I both recommend you book with her!”
“Ashley was great! Flexible with drop off and pick up times and she sent me pictures throughout my dog’s stay, making me feel more at ease as we were out of town. Will definitely book with Ashley again if we are ever back in the area.”
“Melissa was amazing with my dog! She constantly provided so many great updates with photos. She clearly kept him very active which by taking him to the dog park and taking him on family outings because he was absolutely exhausted when he came home which is an extremely rare for him due to his breed and young age. Thank you so much for watching him! I felt so comfortable leaving him in your care and will absolutely be reaching out again the the future!”
About: I’ve raised two dogs as puppies and have extensive experience in training them. My current dog, Penny, is a rescue and loves to run around and play outside. I make sure to provide attentive supervision so the dogs feel comfortable and at ease. I work from home full-time so I have plenty of opportunities to let the dogs out throughout the day for potty breaks or play time. Weather permitting, we take long walks each morning after breakfast, and at night after dinner. I have a fenced in yard so my dog spends a lot of time outside running around or just hanging out. I also have a large screened in porch when she needs a break from the sun. Penny sleeps in my office (her room) next to the bedroom which is where other dogs would sleep as well. I don’t allow dogs on furniture or sleep in the bed.
“Melanie is the greatest! She was so accommodating, extremely easy to communicate with and she provided daily updates with several photos. We are looking forward to our next trip soon and Melanie will be who we call again!”
“Giovanni did excellent with my reactive GSD. He was patient, understanding, and did excellent with her. She had so much fun, he sent plenty of pictures and updates, and she came back super tired! Definitely would recommend and trust him with your furry babies. We will be using him again!”
“Sydney is very friendly and reliable. She was flexible with the schedule, and perfect location. I am sure Bella had a great time with her. For sure I will ask her to sit my puppy again. Thank you so much Sydney!”
“Anna was amazing with my Shadow. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter than she is. I would highly recommend her to anyone for your animal sitting needs. She treats them as if they were her fur baby. I’m will be definitely using her again in the future.”
“Excellent care of my 2 pups. When I brought their beds in from the car they sniffed the sitters house for a while. The sent photos are like Glamor Shots and sent multiple a day. They were definitely spoiled during their stay. They have a large Mastiff, but he's a sweetheart. Would definitely recommend.”
