“Oren and his family and pups treated Kakashi so well! He was spoiled with fun having a playmate all week. I was sent a ton of photos and updates so I never had to worry! I will definitely be using your services again, and maybe even add some additional play date services moving forward knowing how comfortable he was with you! Thank you again so much!”
“Tonya was very helpful in watching our dog. She was pleasant and kind, and I could tell our pup was well taken care of when we picked him up. Her home was clean and we felt very comfortable leaving Willy with her. Will definitely book again!”
“We had a family medical appointment that was out of town. Our usual sitter was out of town and our back up was full. Breanne responded quickly to my questions and was able to watch my boys. The home had a fenced yard where they could run around and the boys had 2 dogs to play with. When we picked them up, both boys were exhausted to the point they slept for the rest of the day. On top of that, I didn’t realize I booked an extra day. She made sure to contact rover and adjust the reservation so that I would not get charged another night. Thank you for making a very stressful situation better. But on top of that she sent pics of the boys, so I knew they were in good hands!”
“Fantastic service! Very accommodating to my travel schedule with pick-up & drop-off. Great communication in very timely way including daily updates. Very knowledgeable of dogs, and how she introduced my dog to her two. Even allowed me to meet her pups. I’m in process of booking again, and very grateful for Lisa and her thorough care of Winston!”
About: I’m a pet lover who enjoys spoiling and sending back home ;). Unfortunately, my work schedule does not align with the love and care a pet would need full time right now which is why this is perfect for us all! I will only provide boarding for a single pet unless they come from the same family home so they will have all of my attention! I love walks so if your pup does too then it’s a perfect match! You won’t need to worry about your pet on vacation because I promise they will be vacationing themselves! On the days of availability I will be home full time with all attention available to your pet! I only provide care to one pet at a time (unless they are coming from the same household) so they will be very spoiled! I love walks so if your pet does too, we are a perfect match! I have a fenced in yard and do not have any animals in the house. Your dog will have access to the inside and outside. They do need to be trained but I do also keep in mind that accidents happen.
“Novalee/Brooke G. is a fantastic pet sitter! Our dog stayed with her for a week while I was out of town and he had the BEST TIME at her house! He spent his days romping with her adorable pups, playing inside and outside and sniffing all the smells on their neighborhood walks. Novalee also took him on excursions to various pet-friendly stores and family get togethers - which meant he rarely spent anytime alone. Her level of care is unmatched and we know that anytime our dog is with her, he is loved just like her own. I cannot recommend Novalee more highly!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, I have dog sat for my sisters and friends. I can feed, walk, and bath them. I care for my pets as if there my children and I would do the same for any pet! I got to college online and work a full time job Monday through Friday, when I’m not working I’m home with my pets! They enjoy relaxing with me and my Niko loves car rides! I can do drop in visits and dog walking on weekends any times! Message me and we can definitely work something out! I live in an apartment so I don’t have much of a yard so when it’s not super hot I take Niko on walks let him run around, he enjoys laying outside and chillin. He has so much fluff the heat gets to him ☺️

About: I've taken care of cats since I can remember. A kitten was my very first pet in life. I can help feed, groom, clean litter boxes, and provide one on one interaction if need and wanted.
About: Growing up, my family has never not had a dog. I come from a family of dog lovers! I have experience with Rottweilers to Chihuahuas. I’ve always had a passion for animals and volunteer my time as a board member of Montana Pittie Project. My dog is my child and I will treat yours like it’s my baby as well! I also have experience taking care of special needs dogs, my dog that passed the rainbow bridge in August of 2022 was special needs himself. I have fostered multiple dogs while working in rescue and have experience with many different dog personalities and needs. I love sending photo updates to keep your mind at ease while you’re away. Feel free to ask me any questions! I work full time as a self employed hairstylist. With a flexible schedule I am able to take a break every day and hang out with my dog during the week. In the evenings I take Stella to a park nearby my house or we go on a walk around the neighborhood. I do have a fenced in yard. My current pup is kennel trained and it’s her safe space, if I work for a longer period than usual I have my own pet nanny or family checks in on my dog if I will be gone for too long. She is never along for more than 4-5 hours at a time. She eats in the morning and in the evening, I do not free feed. Stella has way more toys than any dog could need, and likes watching tv so I leave a nature show on for her when I leave the house. She’s a good girl.
“5/5 Stars — 10/10 Highly Recommended! I cannot recommend Ava enough! She saved the day by stepping in on just two days' notice to take care of my cat for a full week straight. She did two 30min-1hr long drop-in visits every single day and was absolutely wonderful. She is super nice, incredibly reliable, and kept me updated the entire time with excellent communication. It gave me total peace of mind knowing my cat was in such great hands. I will absolutely be booking her again!”

About: Hi! I grew up on a hobby farm of sorts - chickens, goats, calves, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, and even the occasional injured wild bird or rabbit. I have since moved around, explored the country, and landed here in Henry County. During my trvels, I voluntered at many shelters as well as adopted 5 dogs who have sinced crossed the rainbow bridge. I now have two big squishy pups who love traveling and soaking up rays of sunshine. I work from home during the week and have a few home depot shifts on the weekend. I work from home during the week and home depot on the weekends. We like going for morning and evening walks along with some rolling around in the back yard over lunch. This will depend on the pet and his/her personality. I have many ways of separating animals should it be needed. Or, if wveryone is getting along, we have a nice big back ars for playtime and wrastling.
“Novalee (aka: Brooke G.) is an amazing dog sitter and we cannot recommend her more! On the days our dog was scheduled to be with her, we needed early drop offs and flexible pickup times - both of which she easily accommodated. Our senior dog had the absolute BEST time hanging out with Novalee and her husband and their puppy crew (he slept like a baby after coming home because he had so much fun playing!) We absolutely 100% recommend Novalee and will definitely utilize her in the future when we need to go out of town!”
About: I’ve had very many different types of dogs in our family through the years. I’ve raised dogs from 6 weeks old to senior. I have experience with giving dogs medicine and following special meal schedules. I have stayed over with dogs and cats for family and friends while they were on vacation, etc. for 20+ years. I absolutely love all animals and promise to love yours too! This is my only source of employment so I can be really flexible and accommodating to your needs and your pet’s needs. Whether it be for potty breaks, taking your pet for a walk, abiding by food/medication schedules, or extended stays. I am available to sit in your home to keep your pet feeling as comfortable and safe as possible. I am familiar with building trust with dogs as well. If you don’t need a daily/nightly sitter, you can count on me to potty your dog at a minimum of every 4 hours.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats and fish as a child. I love all animals and would be more than happy to give someone peace of mind knowing their fur-baby is safe and well taken care of while you are away. I do work full time but am able to stop by 3-4 times a day or work with whatever schedule your pet needs. I am pretty flexible on what days or times are needed. I love animals and will make sure your pet is happy and taken care of when I visit. I will make sure food and clean water is readily available, litter boxes will be cleaned and trash taken out. Anything that they need will be available for them and kept clean. Treats will also be provided of course.
About: Hi, my name is Lilie! I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was little and love to be around them. I am currently in school for Medical Ultrasound so I am pretty busy, but if you need someone to watch your pet during nights, mornings, or weekends I’m you’re girl! I have 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own and I have experience working in a doggy daycare for 2 years, so you can be sure that your animal is in good hands :) I’m currently in clinicals full time during the week, so I work 4 10 hour shifts sometime Monday-Friday. Every other weekend I work a part time job from 5:30 in the morning to 1 or 2 in the afternoon Saturday and Sunday. If you are willing to work around these hours, I would love to take care of your animals and help out where I can! I usually like to do a visit before with pet owners to see if I’m a good match for them. Also, I will never take on more than one job at a time so I will always be able to give your pets my full time and attention. When booking me for housesitting, I can stay at your house and watch your animal or I can come by to check on them at set times. I do not offer any services in my own home.

I’m currently available to work full-time. I will have to come to your house to take care of your pet. I’m available anytime Monday through Friday. I currently cannot have pets at my home. I will come to my client’s home and take care of their pet(s). I will always take protective measures when entering and leaving the home to ensure the safety of the home and the pet.

About: I previously worked for my local humane society for over a year, caring for a wide variety of animals ranging from young kittens and puppies to senior pets. I also have experience with birds, rats, and rabbits. During that time, I cared for animals with special needs, administered daily medications, and worked with pets who were highly reactive or needed extra patience and understanding. I'm also a proud foster fail—I adopted both a tiny kitten I fostered at just a few weeks old and an older, grouchy cat who stole my heart. I work part-time and am very flexible. Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine, and I love spending quality time making sure pets feel happy, safe, and loved. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and comfortable, with spaces where pets can relax and feel safe. I keep toxic items and hazards out of reach and follow any specific routines or rules you share. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine, from feeding schedules to favorite toys and walking routes. I always keep a close eye on pets, use positive reinforcement, and take extra care with animals who have special needs, medications, or reactivity.
