“Sully loves going to Adam’s place and is always relaxed when coming home. He even eats when he gets home, which is a big sign for him that he enjoyed his stay away from me! Sully takes over Adam’s bed every time and I never worry about the amount of snuggles he’s getting while I’m gone!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets and pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was young. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including larger breeds such as Pit Bulls, XL American Bullies, and Cane Corsos. I’m comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and safety. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just lots of attention and affection, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I promise to be dependable, responsible, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I am currently a college student home for the summer and do not have another job, which allows me to offer a very flexible schedule. I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding. If your pet is staying with me, I will be home for most of the day aside from occasional errands or appointments. This allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, exercise, and companionship to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I live in a house with a yard and access to a dog park within my neighborhood, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, and enrichment. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions provided by owners and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I will provide attentive care tailored to their individual needs.

“Xiomy was great with our boy Gunner. I got daily pics of him playing with her dog and status updates on how Gunner was adjusting in my absence. I will most definitely book again. Thanks Xiomy.”

“They were amazing!! Took great care of my little buddy. They sent pics and videos everyday, played with him, and actually paid attention to him. Would 1000% recommend and use them again.”

“Stacey did a wonderful job taking care of my Chorkie puppy Max! She was in constant communication and sent the cutest pics of Max each day. He looked to be having fun and feeling at home which was great as it was my first time leaving him with a sitter. I know that she could’ve handled any issues that came up, will definitely call her again next time I need a dog sitter!”

“Russel is amazing! Bacon stayed with Russel for 4 days vs and one of those days we picked him up for a quick doggy play date. When we returned Bacon was ecstatic to see Russel again! Russel even had him dressed in the Jammie’s we brought for him on a cold morning. Russel went above & beyond & that was very clear. Russel is quick to respond & sends lots of pictures!”

About: Hi, I'm Alexa! I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have cared for many of my own, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs and personalities. Over the years, I’ve provided dependable pet sitting for friends, neighbors, and families in my hometown, earning their trust through consistent, attentive care. I treat every pet as if they were my own—prioritizing their comfort, safety, and happiness at all times. As a college student pursuing a degree in the medical field, I bring a heightened level of awareness, responsibility, and knowledge when it comes to overall care and well-being. I am detail-oriented, reliable, and committed to maintaining routines that keep pets feeling secure and stress-free. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I provide a calm, nurturing environment that pet owners can feel confident in. I ADORE ALL FUR BABIES! As a college student currently taking online courses, I have a very flexible and consistent daily routine that allows me to prioritize your pets care throughout the day. My schedule gives me the ability to be present for feedings, walks, playtime, and regular check-ins without feeling rushed. I don't have weekends marked as a guarantee, but I may be available and will always be open to working something out, so don't be afraid to reach out! 🩷 I care for pets like they’re my own and try to keep them as comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I stick to their usual routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and anything else they’re used to—so they don’t feel stressed while their owner is away. I also make sure to keep things clean and send updates with photos. If I’m caring for pets in my apartment, I make sure they have a safe, clean space and get plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I pay attention to each pet’s personality and what they need so they feel happy and relaxed.

“Michelle and her family treated my Po and Basil as if they were their own! It was so great knowing my two were safe and sound, especially with her expertise in the vet med field. Will absolutely book again!”

Cassie T.

“Tom and Nikki made us feel SOO good about leaving our little anxious dog while on vacation. We just moved into town, and we usually have friends watch him while we travel, so we were afraid to leave him with strangers. He is usually so nervous and barky around people he doesn’t know, so you can imagine our shock when we were sent dozens of pictures of him snuggling up with Tom and making himself at home on their bed!! These two are natural dog whisperers. We are super excited (and relieved) to know that our dog will be in safe hands when we go out of town again! The picture and video updates throughout the day let us know that he was in very good hands!!”

Emma F.

“Absolutely wonderful!! So kind, sent us pictures every day and was very communicative! Our pup came back so sleepy since he had so much fun! He misses being with her pup too! definitely highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I don't have any professional experience, but I've grown up in a family that has housed a lot of dogs and cats since I was born. We've had 4 dogs and 7 cats from my early childhood until today, so while I did obviously have the rest of my family to assist with them, I've still had firsthand experience with a lot of different behaviors and habits of these pets and how certain traits or preferences vary between them. I finished college at UGA recently, so I'm currently at home full-time. Pet care would be pretty easy to fit into my weekly schedule. I always try to make sure I feed my cat her treats once a day around the same time, so consistent feeding and cleaning wouldn't be that much harder with additional pets. I am gone some evenings on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, but other than that my time is fully open to help your pets stay relaxed, happy, and healthy. My backyard has a fence, but it's currently old and unrepaired, so the gates cannot close properly, so any pets prone to running will be staying inside or on a leash. My house is very small, but my front and backyard are very spacious, ideal for pets that are uncomfortable in small spaces. My cat can be skittish around other animals, so I will need to keep her in a separate space from them, but my family's done that with many of our cats, so it will not be a problem for the client or their pets. My roommate stays inside most of the time, so but he's also very friendly and should not pose any issues for the pets.

“Emily was great with my older pup. Was very attentive with her medicines, her food specifications and her initial weariness. My dog quickly took to her and they were soon playing fetch non stop. She kept me updated, was a great communicator and even sent me some pupper pics to ease my mind. Would absolutely leave my special girl with her again.”

Cristina H.

“My cat, Tim, absolutely LOVES Caylei! She sends me photos and videos throughout his time with her, and it's always obvious how happy and cared for he is. He has special needs and she dies an excellent job of caring for those needs as well as loving him.”

Valorie M.

“Gingi is awesome! We feel so thankful to have found her through Rover. Communication was excellent from the start. We got so many cute pics and videos of our dog while we were away. We will definitely be using Gingi again!”

Kristina D.

“We love having James watch Winston. We know Winston is safe, well cared for and having a great time. We also get lots of fun pictures of Winston making himself right at home.”

Tim M.

“Annette is magical! Earl had a wonderful time running in the park, exploring the paths of Annette's backyard, and playing with other dogs. He returned home calm, happy, and exhausted! We are grateful for Annette and her calm approach to caring for our Earl.”

Blake T.

“Xionella was absolutely wonderful to our baby! We received a ton of pictures and videos all weekend, making us feel very secure that he was in good hands. The communication was clear and consistent, keeping us updated and respecting any instructions or boundaries we gave. Our dog came home happy and very tired! He was clearly loved and played with throughout his time with Xionella!”
