“Sara took excellent care of our pup! She was communicative and accommodating and it was such a relief to find her and her family when our other care fell through suddenly. Our pup was immediately comfortable with her and was a happy tired but seemed not at all stressed when he came home. I would highly recommend her and we will definitely book again!”

“Amanda welcomed Sandy with open arms and didn't let go! She was absolutely amazing. You can tell she cares about the pets she keeps and she tries her best to make them feel like they are at home. She sent multiple updates and pictures throughout our dog's stay with her. Her home was beautiful and immaculate. They have a fenced yard and even a doggy door so the dogs can come and go as they please. We understand the anxiety and concern many of us dog parents have leaving our loved pooches with strangers. Dont worry though - they are in very good hands with Amanda. We absolutely would recommend her to anyone and everyone.”

“Xionella is really nice, accommodating, and communicative. She keeps you updated with photos and videos of your pet. Theo seems to have had a wonderful time at her place.”

About: I grew up with all kinds of family pets- from dogs and cats to birds and reptiles. I love animals of all kinds and believe each individual is different. I have always been a huge dog lover and sadly had to recently say goodbye to my best friend Bruno. Definitely eager to get to spend time with doggos again since I am not ready to adopt again quite yet. I am a recent graduate of the University of Georgia, and just earned my PhD in Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences. Currently perusing remote scientific consulting, so I am currently home a lot with a very flexible schedule. I am happy to welcome pets (cat friendly) into my home, or travel to client’s homes for pet care. I have reliable access to transportation (have my own car). My home consists of two stories and my cats could be separated on a separate floor if needed. I have an unfenced yard but live in a very walkable, wooded neighborhood with minimal traffic, ideal for walking. I am also happy to transport dogs to the dog park Wriggley Park, or another dog park if you’d like. I am happy to accommodate specific feeding/medication schedules, brushing, or any other special requests you may have!

“Becky was awesome! I reached out last minute and was thrilled she was available and even able to accommodate our change in pick- up time. She sent pictures of our dog, which is always appreciated to see how he is doing! Definitely recommend her and will reach out to Becky next time we are in need ?!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jonathan was truly amazing with my dog while I was away! He was kind, communicative, and incredibly caring throughout the entire stay. My dog tends to have a hard time when I’m out of town, but Jonathan handled everything with so much patience and compassion. He kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which really helped ease my mind. I could tell my pup was in great hands. I’m so grateful we found him — highly recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable sitter!”

“When I say that Caylei is amazing, I really mean that. My cat, Tim, has special needs and can be temperamental/ really grumpy, at times. He has been fired from several boarding facilities for his bad attitude. Well, Caylei was willing to take him on and not only that, her care and patience was rewarded with a super happy cat all week! I am truly so thankful to have found her. She sent me updates, photos, and videos while I was gone, which really helped ease my mind. We have a few other trips planned that I wasn't sure we would be able to take if Tim misbehaved for her, too, but everything went significantly better than I ever hoped. Caylei is smart, caring, knowledgeable, and very competent in pet care, even in special circumstances. I can't recommend her enough.”

“Piper had the most fun with Annette and Bodhi! I felt very comfortable leaving Piper with Annette and she was taken great care of! Piper was tuckered out when she came home and took a nap!”

About: I am a current doctoral student at UGA with flexible hours and experience with pet-care throughout the years. I am a pet owner myself (a 4 year old dog named Buckets) and would love to assist you with your pet care. While I do not have any formal certifications, the animals I have cared for range from 6 months to 7 years. I have been through several training classes with my own dog, including AKC Canine Good Citizen Certification, and, while I am not certified to formally train, I am happy to include these techniques in my pet care. I currently work approximately 13 hours a week and have classes approximately 10 hours a week. My hours are flexible as I set them myself, outside of class, allowing for opportunities for care at various times of the day. Wednesdays are less flexible. I have a fenced in yard and a pup of my own who is crate trained. I have experience walking dogs who have a strong pull as well.

“Wonderful Experience Dan and Kat treated my small gentle dog with kindness and care. She was very comfortable in their home, enjoyed the company of Maggie and Luna, the resident dogs that were friendly and welcoming. I know when I first met them all that this was a perfect place for my dog to feel safe and happy. D and K were accommodating with any request I could throw at them. Glad I’ve met than and relieved to know there is a safe place for my pet when I have to leave town. Photos and updates every day Great environment”

“This review is for the first extended stay after a previous single day stay and it was what I wish all stays could be like. For my two Dachshunds the setup at Nikki and Tom's is perfect. Both Tom and Nikki show them constant love and care - they communicate regularly and often and got some of the funniest videos of all the pups playing together. I can tell based on my dogs energy how they felt after a long stay somewhere away from me, once I picked them up from this stay they were relaxed and full of energy and clearly felt safe and not stressed during their stay. This is a big deal for me, thanks for watching them! 100% will book again.”

“Xiomy took amazing care of my dog. She kept me updated every day with the sweetest photos, and I always felt at ease knowing my pup was happy and loved. Her dog Elma is incredibly gentle and became the perfect playmate — they bonded right away. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I truly recommend her!”

“It was our first time leaving Pimento while we were out of town and I was definitely nervous about it, but Gingi was absolutely amazing! She sent updates with what their days were like, complete with multiple pictures and even some videos. Pimento is a very shy pup but was opening up by the end of the day. We will always try to book with Gingi first if we are out of town, she is a dream!”

“Emily was very patient with our stubborn English Bulldog. Her space was comfortable for our dog’s needs— added bonus of a fenced backyard. Emily is kind, compassionate, and responsive to communications. Would 100% recommend and use her services again.”

Emily & Matt L.

“Imani was fantastic! Her responses were quick and her communication was top tier. I know S‘mores enjoyed his time with Imani. I highly recommend.”

Monique B.

“Felicia was wonderful with Loki! She took time to let him adjust to her home and her dogs, sent us tons of pics and updates, and he got so much exercise and had a great time. I would happily recommend Felicia to anyone, and can’t wait to book with her again!”

Angela D.

“Ruby had another wonderful stay with Linda and her pups. I always know she is so well cared for with Linda that I can have peace of mind while I’m away.”

Dawn M.

“Beverly and her family were awesome with Rex. They treated him like one of the family. We were also sent cute pics of him during his stay. 10 out of 10 would most definitely recommend!”
