“Our fur baby and cat, along with our grand dog, had a wonderful stay with James! This was their first visit and they all three made themselves right at home from the moment they met James. Even the cat quickly made friends with him. He has a nice, very clean home with a large fenced backyard for pets to relax and enjoy. James sends daily updates and photos, and is quick to respond to any questions or concerns. He’s such a nice and caring guy with a calming disposition, and it warms our hearts for all of our fur babies to be so content in his presence. Great experience!!”
“She was amazing with my dog Sunny! She sent me pictures and videos throughout her stay so I wouldn’t be worried. I will definitely consider her in the future and refer her to everyone.”
“Dianne was very responsive, communicative, and kind. Our dog Lady was clearly well taken care of, and we were updated on her multiple times while we were gone. Thank you!”
“One of my dogs looked confused when it was time to go home, so I can tell they enjoyed their stay with Suzanne and her family. She was warm and inviting, and communicated the entire stay. I’m hoping her schedule allows for them to stay with her for future travels.”
“I've booked my Sebastian twice with Erica and I can tell from the many pics she sends that he and his sister are having a great time. They even came home with some personalized swag from their last stay. I'll be booking with her again.”
“My dog Paris seemed very happy in Ms Lori P.’s care. She shared a picture and gave me updates. She also was quick to ask me questions about Paris’ behaviors. I really appreciate her doing that.”
“Very attentive to your dog's needs and takes the time to learn your fur baby's personality. I have rebooked with Maurice to care for my dog again at the end of May.”
“Here's a review you can use: Lizdalia was amazing with my doggies! She provided daily updates and pictures, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cared for them, and they were so happy and well-cared for when I returned. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“This was my first time leaving my pup with a sitter & I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Candace again. She answered all questions I had and seems to really care about the pets in her care. She did an awesome job with providing updates and photos throughout his stay. Thanks again!”
“Very sweet young lady and very attentive to my dog. My dog seemed to be very excited the whole time and was exhausted once I brought him home so it was obvious he'd been playing hard and having lots of fun. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again”
“Rebekah is fabulous! This was our first time using Rover after just moving from Florida. I will definitely be using Rebekah for all our pet sitting needs. I received pictures everyday and was so relieved to see everything going so well! Thank you!”
“Langston is the BEST!! My dog doesn't warm up to people easily but he immediately took to Lanston as though they were old friends. He was kind and courteous and was interested in how to care for my dog. He recognized my dog's quirks and was able to make him feel safe and welcome. His home is peaceful and happy and of course, dear Moscoe is the friendliest pet ever. I would highly recommend Langston to everyone and I'm not planning to take my Vader anywhere else.”
“I was a bit nervous about leaving my dogs with a sitter for the first time, but Melissa, and Chika completely put my mind at ease. She was reliable, and clearly loved animals. I got updates and pictures of my dogs every day, they were happy and healthy when I got back, I'll definitely be using, Melissa again in the future”
“Jeronay, was great with Bruno. Communication was excellent, from the meet and greet I knew she would be amazing with Bruno. I received pictures and updates daily. I had a worry free vacation. Thank you.”
“Our dog has a great time at Jennifer’s and she takes great care of him. He’s not a dog we can leave with just anyone, but Jennifer understands dogs and has experience with ones that can be challenging. We highly recommend her! She sends great updates throughout the stay and is very kind and professional. Highly recommended!”
“Cassandra was amazing with my dog. She provided constant updates and communication, and she also sent me a picture everyday which I loved. Love the fact that she has a fenced in backyard so he could run around and still give me a piece of mind. All in all, 5-star option here with Cassandra, and I’d trust her with any pet! We’ll definitely be back soon :)”
“She is the absolute best and always loves on our big boy Oreo. He’s always so happy to visit and enjoys all the time! She is great about providing updates. Will always recommend!”

She sent frequent updates and lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. It made being away so much easier. I could tell he was happy and well cared for.

About: I have had cats all my life since I was very young. I currently have two cats of my own, and I genuinely understand how unique and individual cats can be. I'm very comfortable caring for cats with a wide range of personalities--from social and playful to shy or more independent. I provide thoughtful, patient care that respects each cat's boundaries while making sure they're comfortable, safe, and well cared for. My experience includes feeding, resh water, litter box maintenance, playtime, brushing, and administering medication for cooperative cats. I pay close attention to routines, behavior changes, and overall well being. My long term dream is to open a cat cafe one day, so caring for cats isn't just something I do. It's something I genuinely love.

“Charity is an excellent caregiver! Couldn't have asked for a better pet caretaker for my baby boy. With a complicated supplement program she handled it with ease.

About: I have had and taken care of cats my entire life! After moving into my own house in college I adopted my own! His name is Gus and I love him more than anything in the whole world.

About: I've had pets nearly my whole life. I absolutely love dogs and cats. How anyone could mistreat an animal is beyond me. I will give the best care to your pet. I retired a year ago although I'm only 53. I have plenty of time and I love animals so I decided to pet sit and board. I have a big back yard that is fenced in. I also have dog beds in my home. I have central heat and air so your pet will be comfortable in my home.
“Thank you so much for taking great care of Hans. We immediately felt like he was welcomed into your home!

We can tell that you guys are dog people because of the great care that Hans received. In the future, we won't have to worry about leaving town because we know that Hans will be in awesome hands. Thanks so much!”

I will make sure they are well fed, walked, given water, and all the snuggles. I am available during the mornings, afternoons, and night for visits, walks, playtime, etc. I am *unavailable* to do over night stays but will be more than willing to do drop in visits and treat your fur baby like my own. Pet care is a part of my daily life and has been for as long as I can remember. I take great pride into caring for others.

If your home does not have a fence please let me know if there’s any neighborhood pets to look for.

“Kenzie was wonderful and caring to our boys and we will happily request her to watch our boys every time. Thank you, Kenzie, the boys smell good and were very happy when we picked them up. God bless you and your family!!”
About: I've always had a love for animals. I've never met a fur baby I can't get along with. I get the most joy taking care of animals. I work from home with a pretty flexible schedule for dog walks and drop ins. And since I am home, I am able to stay with animals who tend to have some separation anxiety. I have a fenced yard with a very friendly dog who has never met a stranger. I also have two indoor cats, and two rabbits in a room of their own. All of my animals are spoiled rotten.
About: What makes me different is that my experience isn’t just from watching dogs—it comes from truly caring for my own over many years. I went through the full journey of raising a puppy into her senior years, which taught me patience, responsibility, and deep respect for animals’ needs. Since then, I’ve felt naturally drawn to caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I currently have full availability after returning from college, which allows me to focus on pet care as a priority. I am flexible with scheduling and can provide care throughout the day, including mornings, evenings, and overnight stays when needed. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space while keeping pets on their usual feeding, walking, and play schedule. I pay close attention to instructions and details provided by the owner so each pet receives consistent, personalized care. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where they are supervised and given plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I make sure they have fresh water, proper feeding times, and a stress-free space to relax. My goal is always to treat every pet like my own and ensure they feel secure and well cared for at all times.
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels—including senior pups—I provide loving, reliable, and attentive care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with administering medications, accommodating special routines, and offering the extra patience and gentleness that older dogs often need. Whether it’s slow strolls, cozy cuddles, or keeping up with daily care, I treat every dog like family. My goal is to give you peace of mind while keeping your pet happy, safe, and comfortable in a calm, familiar environment. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day—whether it’s regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just companionship. Your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches, and I’m able to accommodate feeding times, medications, and any special care needs with ease. Because I plan my day around the pets I care for, you can trust they’ll get the time, love, and attention they deserve. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment where they can relax and feel secure. We have a fully fenced yard for plenty of outdoor play and potty breaks, and pets are always supervised. Our home is kid-friendly, calm, and welcoming—perfect for dogs who enjoy gentle companionship. I have one sweet, well-behaved female beagle who gets along great with other dogs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and walking needs. Whether your pup loves playtime or prefers quiet cuddles, I ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away.
About: I was raised on a dairy farm, and I've always had a soft spot for animals. I've had dogs for as long as I can remember, and my pups live the good life. Yours can too! I've got plenty of experience taking care of older dogs. No worries about things like CCD, incontinence, special diets, or medications - I've got it all covered! Thank you for your consideration I am a stay-at-home mum to my dogs. My life revolves around my dogs. The first potty break is at 5 AM. Yours will fit in just fine. I have a fenced-in backyard but also an acre of unfenced yard that I use to walk dogs on leash. It's a great place for dogs to go and explore new smells.

About: I have been caring for animals since I was a child and it gives me great comfort and peace in a spiritual way. I am a home owner for 19 years in Douglasville Georgia and live alone. I am a US Navy Veteran and a writer/publisher for Onequalife LLC. I have seen how our environment harms animals life. I am an advocate for all life forms and we need to do better to protect them. Every day, I try to be the best version of myself to make all contacts positive and productive. My super power is patience and to learn new things. Writing is my passion and animals are my comfort. Making a connection with a new animal is a blessing for me. Lots of Love and Smiles for the Soul. As a child, I always have been spending time with our family animals. I have the time and experience with a safe caring fun loving home. I also have a fenced backyard with two sections and a large basement on two acres property. Safety always comes first and I always treat cats or dogs like toddlers. I always have a watchful eye on them and feed and keep them safe.
About: I have had an infatuation with animals since I was a kid and have had plenty of experience throughout my years. I took a job at PetSmarts Hotel, where I learned how to properly bath/nail grind, take care of all sorts of pups and cats. I have dealt with senior dogs who need more attention to rescue pups who need love. I fall in love with animals very easily. I work from home M-F and have the flexibility to oversee pups as they enjoy quality time from a human. I naturally have the dog mom instinct and will always make sure the love is shown to all . I have a fenced in yard and can crate when needed. I own a medium intact jack russell terrier who is 6 years old now but full of energy to keep any pup entertained if I am busy with work.
About: I’ve cared for all sorts of animals since i was 10 years young, including cats, birds, goats, horses and of course dogs and puppies. I love big dogs especially pit bulls. I currently do not own a animal anymore because I couldn’t afford one after I had my daughter. So I decided why not babysit other people’s fur babies!? I’m currently a stay at home mommy so I will have a lot of play time with the fur babies. My schedule usually stays open on the weekdays. I don’t mind caring for your animal inside my home as long as you bring their cage, it’s preferred for sleep time if staying the night. I will provide snacks of your choice! I also help with potty training.
About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was a young child! Even when I was barely four feet tall, I delighted in taking care of, feeding, walking, and of course playing with our pups! And now as an adult, I have 2 rescue dogs that I have trained up and loved on (one a senior dog and one a puppy). Caring for dogs truly gives me joy and allows me to pour into others and give back. We don’t deserve dogs, but I sure am grateful we get to share our lives with them! I work full time from home and have complete flexibility with my work schedule. Leaves me time to feed the dogs, let the dogs out in the back yard, and ample amount of play time! I have a fully fenced in back yard with over half an acre for the dogs to play. The outdoor space has ample amount of grass with plenty of squirrels to chase.

About: I've been taking care of dogs for many years and have experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I've helped with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I'm attentive to each dog's personal routine and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and clear communications with pet owners! Pets care fits naturally into my routine. As a collage student, I have a flexible schedule, with classes only three days out of the week for a very short time. This allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week, including walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and quality time with pets. When caring for pets in a clients home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was very little and have always loved dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Animals, especially dogs, bring me so much joy which is what inspired me to start dog sitting!

“Maya was an absolute pleasure. She did exactly what I asked—walked my dogs and showed patience with both of them. One of my dogs is nervous and the other can be a bit of a brat, but she handled them with ease. Even in the 80-degree weather, she stayed upbeat and smiling the entire time. She was so accommodating, and it’s clear my dogs are happier because of her care. Thank you, Maya! Highly recommend!”
About: I have had the opportunity to take care of pets for around 3 years now! I have watched dogs and cats of all ages and even horses! I love being able to give pet parents peace of mind when being away from their fur babies and I would love to be a small part of your pet's life! I am currently in a graduate program and I have a good bit of free time! I am hoping to start pet sitting to give myself some freedom to make my own schedule and help out some fellow pet parents :)! When I care for a client's pet in their home I am very conscious and respectful of the client's wants and instructions. I will never break a house rule or treat your pet with anything but love and respect (and pets and belly rubs)!

About: I work in vet med. I've been around animals my whole life. I've worked with the sweetest Goldens, to land shark puppies and the noisy beagles and I enjoy every bit of it. I currently go to college at the university of west Georgia so I have a lot of free time other than that, school if my number one priority. During breaks I go to Florida and work as a Veterinary technician and I wouldn't change it for the world. Because I live on campus I won't have pets at my house but because I've had pets I understand depending on the dog or cat everything can become a toy or eaten. So I try to keep everything out of reach that would avoid a vet visit. I'll be outside with your dog at all times just incase you have an escape artist or to prevent injuries. Plus outside it the best place to play and get off the energy out. When it comes to walks I'm open on taking long or short walks I'm athletic and don't mind a good walk.

About: I have been around animal care since I was born. I have six dogs of my own, ranging from a Husky all the way down to a Maltese. I have a real passion for animals and love to take care of them. I often help out with neighbors and friends to pet sit while out of town or for a quick potty break if needed. I’m currently starting my Master’s program in August with university of west Georgia. Outside of my classes, I have free time that does not always allow for a full time job, but just enough for pet sitting. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and daily routines to help your pet feel secure while you’re away. I treat every home with respect, keep doors and gates securely closed, use leashes on all walks unless you’ve instructed otherwise in a secure area, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind.
About: I have work experience at a pet store and have worked with many different pets and animals! I have been relied on to take care of their various needs. Such as cleaning up after messes, doing feeding schedules, play-time, etc. I also have grown up around all animals. There’s never been a moment in my life where I was pet-less. I have 3 cats and 1 dog myself, and other family members even have whole reptile rooms. Needless to say, I’m an avid animal lover and owner. I do currently work part-time! With enough notice however, It’s fairly easy for me to make time for pet sitting, dog walking, bathroom breaks, etc. Animals are a priority. I am very communicative. If by any chance I run into any questions or bumps in the road, I will give a phone call or send a text message. I never want any pet parents to be “out of the loop.” I work very well with treat training or praise. If I need to crate an animal, I prefer positive reinforcement. I treat animals how I would want to be treated! I love meeting dogs or cats first to establish some trust or a comfortable relationship. A decent conversation with an owner would work as well.
About: I have always grown up around animals both cats and dogs! I have my own dog that I got when I was 13, he was my responsibility to take care of! And I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes too! I love to meet new dogs and friendly faces! I would love to meet your dog! I am very much an animal person! Please don’t hesitate to reach out! I will respect all wishes for you and your animal. I know these animals are family and deserve to be treated as much! I can’t wait to meet you!
About: It’s Haley J. here, and I am a pet enthusiast! I adore all animals and feel as if they should all be treated with the most love and care as possible. Just as if you were dropping your kiddos off for daycare, I can guarantee your pets will be in the safest, loving hands at my watch. I have lots of experience with pet sitting/boarding. Starting at only 15, my first job was walking all of the dogs in my neighborhood for my neighbors. Word spread, that then lead to me pet sitting almost every weekend! As I have gotten older, I have kept this as a side hobby and it is truly something that brings me so much joy. My favorite weekends are the ones spent sitting fur babies! I would be more than delighted to take care of all your pet sitting needs. Thank you for your time and I hope you can consider me while making your decision.

“Our fur baby and cat, along with our grand dog, had a wonderful stay with James! This was their first visit and they all three made themselves right at home from the moment they met James. Even the cat quickly made friends with him. He has a nice, very clean home with a large fenced backyard for pets to relax and enjoy. James sends daily updates and photos, and is quick to respond to any questions or concerns. He’s such a nice and caring guy with a calming disposition, and it warms our hearts for all of our fur babies to be so content in his presence. Great experience!!”

He was kind and courteous and was interested in how to care for my dog. He recognized my dog's quirks and was able to make him feel safe and welcome. His home is peaceful and happy and of course, dear Moscoe is the friendliest pet ever. I would highly recommend Langston to everyone and I'm not planning to take my Vader anywhere else.”
