Personalized care for your dog or cat - Malta

“I instantly felt comfortable with Tracy and her home and menangerie of pets and boarders. Moki loved playing in her big fenced in yard with new friends. I would definitely take Moki there again.”

“Adrian provided fantastic care for our dogs. We received regular updates and he reached out for information he needed to make their stay worry free. Our dogs were well cared for and we joked that they seemed to love being with Adrian and his family so much that they may not want to come back home! 😆 We would definitely use Adrian again and will recommend him to anyone looking for boarding/walks/drop in services.”

Ruby P.

“Deb was great! Penny felt right at home and I received pictures to prove it! She had fun running and playing with Deb's dogs in the back yard too. Thanks again!”

Mary R.

“Wendy took great care of my dogs while I was on vacation. They stayed in her home, went on walks, and snuggled on the couch. It was nice to know they were being so well cared for while I was away. She is the best!”

Kimberly M.

“Lacey was awesome!! She was extremely sweet and I immediately felt comfortable leaving my puppy with her. She was always very quick to respond and asked a lot of questions beforehand to ensure she was providing the best care possible. Lacey sent lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay which I greatly appreciated and it gave me peace of mind. My dog came home exhausted from all the playtime, walks and a dog park visit. Lacey exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend her to care for your pet. I will definitely book Lacey again for my precious pup!”

About: I have experience with an array of animals. I have personally owned Dobermans, Shih Tzus, a husky, and French Bulldogs! Over the past 3 years I have begun fostering and helping a bit in rescuing kittens and a few litters of stray dogs! Taking care of and helping animals is a true passion of mine! I am currently enrolled in hybrid college. I spend another portion of my time on the farm taking care of things that need done! With my schedule being flexible I have availability to adjust when needed for animal care duties! We have a property of about 46 acres with an electric fence for the horses and a gate. The animals would be housed in the home. Outside activity would vary based off of the animals specific needs! Dogs would be outside at least 5x a day!

About: I've taken care of pets since I was 10. My neighborhood frequently go to me when they need a dog/cat sitter for a week and I'm used to going over as many times as needed. I'm patient and have had puppies growing up. This job is exciting for me because I genuinely love and care for all animals. I find that they brighten my day and I'm prepared to help my community take care of their pets. I'm about to graduate and have plenty of free time throughout my weekdays and weekends that I'm not out of town for soccer. I'll have lots of flexible times so I'm confident my schedule will work for many. I have a golden doodle named Stanley that loves to play and run around my yard he is a friendly giant that my neighborhood has all come to love. He loves walks and going for car rides.

“Deana made us feel very comfortable dropping off our pup and she did a great job caring for her! She treated our dog like one of our own and I would recommend her to anyone”

Mary C.

“Sam was awesome with my cats! She has a very nice clean house and a super sweet dog and my cats loved her! I would definitely recommend booking with her for your pet needs, she was very attentive and sent photo updates! Thank you!!”

“Bridget was wonderful for an overnight stay for Shelby. She was very communicative and sent many pictures and videos of her playing with and snuggling with Shelby. I would 1000% book with Bridget for any dog sitting needs!”

About: I've been pet-sitting for several years in Marietta, and I consider myself well-experienced with all kinds of animals, from reptiles to giant dogs. All animals are special, and I can accommodate anything your furry friend needs. I have experience with many animals that are considered "difficult" to care for, such as elderly/arthritic, sick, or extremely high energy dogs and cats! I'm not afraid of any animal, and administering medication is a standard part of what I do if it's needed. I currently work 445pm-9pm Sunday thru Thursday, leaving me open for dropins in the mornings/early afternoons. Additionally, I am available for boarding on Fridays and Saturdays. My home is extremely pet friendly! I live with my best friend, and we are both huge animal lovers. Additionally, I make daily trips to the dog park and other local spots to provide lots of time to stretch!

“Desiree was wonderful! We will be back, happy to have found her!”

About: I love animals and to take care of them. I hope to provide your pets with a caring, safe, cuddling place to come. I’ve had animals since I was very little and have always loved them, I plan to be a vet tech when I can. I also have two dogs a chihuahua and an American bulldog that are both neutered. They are both very friendly as well and most of the time the chihuahua minds his own business. (By the way they are both male dogs). My whole family loves animals and would love for your to come stay or visit and even walks would be great. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for dogs to run in and much more. I work part time so I have time to take care of your pups! If I’m not home my boyfriend is, we have two pups that go everywhere with us I have a fenced in yard and I go on daily walks with my two pups that can help keep yours company. I have neighbors that are are very friendly and there dog had puppies!

About: Devoted dog enthusiast with a proven track record in canine care. Experienced dog sitter committed to tailoring experiences that cater to each pup's unique needs. Patient, responsible, and equipped with the skills to create a joyful and secure atmosphere for fur babies of all types and ages. I work part time and have a good amount of free time to help you give your dog their best life ever. Willing to be available outside of "regular" work hours too. I always keep a close eye on our animals at home. I believe that attentiveness is optimal for a dog's safety and happiness. Not only keeping the dog safe but others who may not now how to interact with pups right away.

About: By day I’m a work-from-home U.S. government employee, and in my free time I manage my 10 acre homestead. I have a wealth of animal care experience on the farm: housing 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 alpacas, 4 peacocks, 5 goats, and too many chickens to count. With that cast of characters I’ve learned a lot about animal care, and have the vet on speed dial just in case lol. I have a fenced in play area which can accommodate even larger breeds and some friendly dogs of my own to keep everyone entertained (and exercised). I’m also adept at administering medications (if necessary) and will consider accommodating special needs pets on a case-by-case basis. Most importantly, I absolutely love dogs and can’t wait to hang out with yours.

About: Over the past 15 years I've adopted, raised, and cared for multiple dogs. From the time we adopted them, they were very much a part of our family, and were always treated as our additional children. They get all the snuggles they want, discipline and training, and love beyond measure. There is never a hungry, lonely dog in our house. All three of our children have been raised with dogs so they are comfortable around them, and love their companionship as well. I've had dogs that were trained with beepers/shock collars so would be comfortable using your dog's collar as well while they're with us. I have also worked as a nurse for 12 years so can respond to medical needs, give medication, and administer first aid. We currently have a puppy in our home that we are training, so your doggo would have a companion while with us. I will give lots of hugs, snuggles, treats (if you're ok with it), and positive affirmations. We have 5 acres of land that I would happily let your furbaby roam and explore. I am home with our 2 year old son and our puppy during the day so your doggo would always have someone to watch over him/her. If I have to run out for whatever reason, I am happy to take your little one on a car ride with us. Or if you prefer, I could utilize our extra crate to safely keep him/her in while I'm out for a short trip. Because of having 3 kids and a puppy in our home, I would have to require your doggo to be dog and kid- friendly. Other than that, I'm very flexible and will do my best to accommodate your specific needs. I am currently a stay-at-home mom to a 2-year-old (and a puppy) so would have plenty of time to interact with, love on, and care for the needs of your dog. Our yard is not fenced, but the plus side is that we have 5 acres of land to roam. I would still likely keep your dog on a leash while outside since he/she it's not accustomed to the boundaries of our property. We do have an extra crate large enough for a medium-large sized dog that can be used to safely house your doggo when/if needed.

About: I've cared for my family's Shih Ztu ever since I was 8 years old. Throughout his 13 years of life, I've also cared for my brother's Yorkie, Lab, and Golden Retriever on multiple occasions!! Now, I have my own 6 month old puppy named Zeke💕 I'm currently a full-time college student doing this as a side job. Dogs bring me an unbelievable amount of joy and are a great way to relieve some stress from school!! If I'm ever needed inside of your home, I will treat it as though it is my own. I am very responsible and understand how to clean up after myself and your doggy!

About: I've been a dog mom for many years, caring for Jack Russel's, a Belgian Malinois and even spiders and snakes! Nothing phases me! Is your pet an escape artist? I'll run after them barefoot in my PJs (done this many times!). Is your pet grumpy? I'll love them anyways. Is your pet just unruly in general, requires special attention or demands you to stay on your toes? I've been there. I'm an active person and there's nothing I wouldn't do to help or care for your fur baby, that I wouldn't do with my own. Thanks for giving me a look and I hope to hear from you! I'm available most weekends and evenings. For walks during the day, I just need a little heads up! Looking forward to meeting your fur baby :) For in-home service, I will follow your babies routine to the letter! I know it's important to minimize changes in your pets environment, so they can be calm and happy in your absence :)

“Nicole was a great sitter for my kitty and I would definitely use her anytime! Thanks, Nicole!”

Adam P.

“Always the best caregiver for my boys! Plus, she’s willing to do stuff like bringing in the boxes that I didn’t realize we’re gonna be delivered last night and today… So much fun these things come to me when I don’t plan for them!”

Terry D.

“We are very happy with Melina! We have booked her for drop-ins 3 days a week and will continue. We work long hours and I feel so much better knowing that a caring person is stopping in to let the dogs out to run and potty. We will continue with Rover and Melina!”

Evelyn P.

“Eliza was wonderful with Mia. It was so nice to have someone with her background to spend time with Mia and make her feel comfortable while I was away for the day. I highly recommend Eliza! Thank you so much for your gentle care with Mia.”

Terri M.

About: I have had the wonderful opportunity to spend time with many dogs of so many breeds and can’t see myself stopping! There such loving animals. I’m currently working full time and will have plenty of time to play with the Dogs. I can even take them to work with me! I have a wide open back yard and plenty of room for dogs to run. I live on a small farm with a few other animals. I’m a very trustworthy person. I’m also a kennel technician/Dog trainer so I spend time with dogs almost every day.

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors pets in the past while they’ve been out of town. Taking care of pets is something that I enjoy doing. I currently work full time and am looking for extra work mostly on the weekends but occasionally weekdays. Weekends I’m available at all times and weekdays I’m available mostly in the evenings. Wherever I’m providing care for pets, I make sure that they are in safe environments. Cleanliness is very important. I follow directions that I receive from the owners of the pets that I’m watching and give their pets attention.

About: I've taken care of my late dog Freckles for 14 years. Walks and feedings every day. Played with her as a puppy. I'm available any time except Thursday and Friday nights until 9 pm as I have a scheduled job during that time. I currently work part time and from home, so I have plenty of time to spend with your doggo. I will occasionally go out just for groceries. Food, water, lots of pets, cuddles and playtime. I want to make sure your furry friend is happy and comfy during your absence. Dog walks will be daily.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a little kid. My husband and I have owned 3 large dogs for over 10 years now. We have had cats and chickens, and also have owned mules. Our family loves all animals, and I would be so happy to care for your pets, as my own, so you can have peace of mind while enjoying travels! I am very flexible, and willing to travel a bit. I am currently a stay at home mom, so my schedule is very open .. I would come to your home. I do not have a fenced area for other pets. Our animals know their territory and stay safely here.

“Ollie had a wonderful time at daycare with Adrian! He's a worn out, happy guy.”

“Sam is heaven sent ! Im a new puppy owner and I was so nervous about leaving Lulu but , Sam made me feel so comfortable and I loved how she kept me updated with pics and videos of how happy Lulu was in her care .

Heather P.

About: I have had pets my entire life. I am one of seven children, I was always the one to take care of our family pets. I retired a year ago. While I'm enjoying it, I would like to stay busy and I love animals. This is a perfect combination for me. I would like to follow the households routine as closely as possible, for the pets comfort and sense of security. I have 2 dogs of my own, I would treat your dog as if it were my own.

“Indy is a super anxious pup and hasn’t spent a lot of time around other dogs or children. Deb took extra care to make sure Indy was comfortable and kept her as calm as possible. She also sent me pictures and updates throughout the day, which I loved! (Making sure to keep me calm as well) Indy will definitely be coming back! My husband and I are excited to have a trusted place to leave her for the day, or while on a much needed vacation.”

I would adhere to any standards your pet currently has or would need
