“LOVE HER!!! We left our mini australian shepherd with Kenzie for a week while we went on vacation. I was really nervous because he can be timid of new people and is also extremely active. I couldn't have been more pleased with Kenzie. Apollo took to her right away (which he has NEVER done with a new person). She sent lots of pictures and videos and was quick to respond any time I checked in. When I picked him up everything was well kept and I could tell he had the best time! I will definitely use her any time we need a sitter. She was great!”


“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.”

“This was a wonderful experience for me because I was Larry leaving Louey with anyone! He was well taken care of and came home exhausted, which is exactly what you want to see! The family was wonderful and we will definitely be using them again in October, but maybe sooner for a play date!”

“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”

“Kayla was absolutely wonderful! It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does, and I truly appreciated all the photos and videos of my fur baby—it meant so much. I would gladly use her services again!”


“Serria was wonderful and took exceptional care of our baby girl. We were concerned about how Zhuri would do with other animals, especially cats, but she got along well with Serria’s two dogs and cat. Serria sent daily photos of Zhuri bonding and relaxing with her eldest dog. One picture showed Zhuri outside in her spacious, fenced yard, where they had plenty of room to run and play. It was clear Zhuri felt comfortable in her home. Serria cared for our sweet girl as if she were her own. She was kind, responsive, and made the entire experience stress-free. Zhuri was in excellent hands with someone who clearly loves animals, and we truly appreciated the care and attention she received. Highly recommend!”

“Jeremy and his sweet wife were so good to my little one while I was away. She had a nice little vacation of her own. It was comforting to know she was in good hands and well cared for. Communication was excellent.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to giant breeds. I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I understand that every dog has their own needs. I treat pets like family and make it a priority to follow their normal feeding, potty, exercise, and sleep routines so they feel as comfortable as possible while away from home. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to provide plenty of affection, playtime, and updates so you can feel confident your dog is being well cared for. I’m home full-time during the week, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, attention, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m also available for boarding on weekends and can adjust my routine to help keep your dog as close to their normal schedule as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I have an unfenced yard, so dogs are always supervised and kept safely leashed while outside. Inside, I provide a calm and comfortable environment and follow each pet’s normal feeding, potty, exercise, and sleeping routine as closely as possible. I’m also happy to use a crate if your dog is crate trained and that is part of their usual routine.
“She is absolutely amazing! Do not hesitate to book with her. She was super accommodating and punctual with pickup. She kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the entire stay, and my dogs LOVED her. I have two large crazy dogs that are a handful and she was perfect with them. You can tell she is experienced and knows how to handle them. She let them play, monitored them & let me know about an ear issue one of them had, how much they ate and when, and what they did throughout the day. Her dogs were very friendly and everyone got along great! They were super happy and tired when we picked them up, I know they had a good time. We will be repeat clients for sure!!!”

“Lea did a great job caring for our puppy. She sent pictures everyday and made sure that he was able to slowly socialize with her own fur baby. We are already planning to use her again in the future.”

“We are very happy with how quickly Molly got comfortable in the household and how well she was treated during her day. Now that she is very well acclimated, we will be booking a much longer stay with no concerns whatsoever.”

“My little dog Benji had a great time staying with Max! Benji is older, and i was concerned he would have a hard time adjusting to his new surroundings. Max kept in touch and sent lots of pictures. Benji had such a good time that I was wondering if he would want to come home! We highly recommend Max!”

About: Hello, I grew up on a farm in Ohio with cows, horses, chickens, cats and of course dogs. I have had pets my entire life. I've raised four children and we ran the gauntlet of pets from snakes and lizards to birds and fish. Presently I am employed at a Vet Clinic, where I worked in the kennel for a year. I now help out in treatment and monitoring in surgery. I have been employed there going on four years. I recently lost two of my geriatric pets which broke my heart but I still have two geriatric cats at home(One that I inherited from my mom). I can't imagine ever being without a pet. They bring so much joy. Thank you for visiting my page. I am retired so I have lots of free time! So I am looking for some fur friends! Animals bring joy to my life!❤️ Thanks! I do have a fenced yard and a room for cats! It’s just me so not a lot of traffic for escapees. Thank you. Hope to meet your fur babies soon!
“Where do I start? She is the most considerate dog care taker. I trust her with my pup any day :) Thank you for your hospitality and all that you do to make my family feel at ease when we are out of town away from our anxious little thing.”

“What an awesome experience!! From the moment Ollie and I met with Petra, we knew we had a new friend! Petra has a very loving spirit and has a genuine love for people and pets. Due to inclement weather, I needed to change my appointment time. Petra was very understanding and was able to accommodate my needs. It is such a pleasure working with Petra.”
“Our pup was very well taken care of. She communicated regularly, send us photos and videos of playtime, and was able to drop him back off at our house after the visit, which worked great for us.”

About: I am recently retired and have an older dog who has retired from long walks. Our family would enjoy some new pet friends and would like to lend a hand to a neighbor. My schedule is wide open so I can adapt to the needs of your four-legged best friend. Our Homeowner’s Association offers safe sidewalk accommodations for regular walking. We have plenty of open space within our home and allow our pet to roam freely. I am able to accommodate any crating or feeding schedule provided and love to share photos with status updates. My son recently graduated from high school and is also very hands on with pet care and clean up needs. We would love to offer love to your pet for any vacations or extended times away. We offer our dog lots of affection. He treats his backyard like a dog park and enjoys playing catch. He gets along very well with well with other dogs.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Waco home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Waco.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Waco sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in GA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
