“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.”

“We came all the way from Baltimore to visit friends in the area, and had to board Willow. It was Willow's first time spending the night away from us since we got her 4 months ago. Tracy was super kind and loving toward our anxious 7YO doggie. She sent photos and was watchful enough to notice some behaviors of Willow's that seemed to possibly indicate a health problem (it resolved itself). We felt Willow was getting the best possible care next to our own. We will definitely use Tracy again next time we come to visit Athens County! Thanks Tracy!”
“Deb was very responsive and accepted a short notice request to board my dog, Bear, for two days. Bear had a great stay and loved playing with the other dogs in the backyard. I would definitely book a stay for Bear with Deb again. Thank you Deb”


“Wendy was wonderful and very attentive to our dog's needs. She sent us regular updates and pictures which helped put our mind at ease during her stay. Our pup had a great time, and we'll definitely book Wendy next time we have a doggy sitting need!”

“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!!”

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!

“Deana was so sweet and you can tell she really loves dogs!! We got feedback and pictures every day with updates regarding how he slept, how he ate and how many walks they did. Her own dogs are very accepting of new visitors (both human amd canine) ? I would recommend Deana to anyone who needs their pet well taken care of like it was her own!”

“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 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!

“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 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: 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: 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: 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: 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 :)
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.

“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.”

“Ness is a great drop-in cat care person! One of my cats adored her—she was his food source after all! The other cat, who is quite neurotic and hides when anyone comes in the house, usually goes on an hunger strike when I’m gone but actually ate his food and even meowed for her one time. Ness’ quiet energy made everyone happy.”
“Charity is wonderful! She treats my boys (Alvin, Simon & Theodore) like they are her own, which I truly appreciate. These cats are my support animals, and I want all the best for them when I have to be away, and she is a big big help to me!”

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.

“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 . This has been the best experience and I will continue to use Sam as a sitter for my Babygirl ☺️”


“Very nice and willing to be flexible. I was in town for work and Rhys stayed every day for doggie day care. He was happy and excited to go back each day. I would use Wendy again”

“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.”

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.

“So greatful I chose Christina to watch my new puppy. She was great! Kept me updated throughout the day and sent pics. Gave lots of individualized attention to puppy. Will definitely be booking again in the future. Her love for dogs is evident.”

About: I have always loved animals and will treat your animal like I do my own. I do not have any special training, but I have lots of love to give. My schedule is flexible with enough notice. Send me a message and we can figure something out! Would prefer to not do super early mornings, but I am flexible. My dog is currently house trained and does not stay in a crate. I would adhere to any standards your pet currently has or would need
About: Growing up with many dogs and puppies along with an array of other animals has given me quite a bit of useful experience with handling, giving medication, reading body language and how to engage a stubborn dog. Being 6 feet tall and being able to carry and hold a lot of weight even the biggest of dogs wont be a problem for me! My previous dog was very elderly and always made messes which required immediateclean up, meaning any messes your pet makes while you arent home will be cleaned and sanitary so when you get home you can play with your furry family and not worry about minor messes they may have made. While writing is not my strong suit animals are, they are what I wanna make a career out of and be able to help any and everyday but for now just helping your pups while you are gone or unable to check in on them will be enough for me. I currently own my home and have open availability other than take care of my pups at home. Weekends tend to be a little bit more busy but im still free! My pets all have safe spaces where they relax all day plus a safe fully fenced yard with plenty of shaded area they can relax in plus large water bowls always available.
