About: We just moved my golden doodle away from his dog roommates and he’s sad. He needs a friend to play with during the day, that’s why it’s so cheap😊 I'm a young and enthusiastic dog lover who's been around dogs of all shapes and sizes my whole life. I've had two Cocker Spaniels, a Golden Retriever mixed with Border Collie, a super sweet Golden Retriever, and now a lively Golden Doodle. I've also pet-sat for Golden Retrievers, Doodles, Poodles, Irish Setters, Chihuahuas, Shih Tzus, Yorkies, Pugs, Boxers, Labs and more. What makes me a great dog sitter is that I truly enjoy spending time with dogs. I love playing with them, showing them lots of affection, and making sure they get plenty of exercise. Whether your dog needs a good run or a leisurely walk, I'm here to keep them happy and healthy. I currently work from home so I am around the dogs all day. I love to take lots of breaks for play time and walks. I live in a townhome with a small fenced in dog area right behind my house (not a dog park, it's only for my 10 neighbors and most don't have dogs.

“Leah has been amazing with my puppy Bailey! She helped me while I had to go to work right after getting him. She came in the middle of my work day to walk him twice and play with him. He was so excited when she came over! She was also very flexible with him being a puppy and his behavior changing!”


3. Isabelle M.
“Isa is amazing with animals! She has come over to my place before and has loved all the animals in my apartment and she has two dogs of her own! She’s a big animal person!”


4. Jade H.
“Jade took amazing care of my mastiff who is not the easiest to walk but he loves her! my english bulldog also loves her and lets her trim her nails.”

6. Brooke H.
“Looking for a solid companion for your furry friend? Look no further than Brooke. She is a great communicator, highly experienced with animals, and gave my beloved Bella some AMAZING walks while I was traveling. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”


7. Maya L.
About: I have cared for my two cats since I was about five years old, one of whom is diabetic and gets insulin shots twice a day, so I have experience with injections. Since then I have volunteered with the Humane Society and helped to care for my neighbors' pets. I am a full-time student at UGA, so my schedule will change every semester. However, I almost always have time for pet care in the afternoons and on the weekends! Just discuss any needs with me and I will let you know what my specific day-to-day schedule is looking like. I engage and play with your pets to keep them entertained while also keeping them well-cared for and safe! I ensure that they enjoy their time with me and I with them.


8. Lara M.

“Lara is very communicative and great to work with! Lara was willing to brave the rainy weather and I know Molly enjoyed her walk with her. Will definitely be booking Lara again!”


9. Claire D.
“Claire is engaging, responsible, and easy to work with. She clearly loves dogs, and they love her in return. She is conscientious, making sure that she understands what's expected and needed (including for my senior dog with multiple health issues & meds) and doing a good job of keeping me updated. I'll be hiring her again - and my pup will be excited to see her.”


10. Megan M.
“I can't recommend Megan enough! She always does an incredible job taking care of my dog, Amber, who is a big Rhodesian Ridgeback. I have used her multiple times for both drop-in care as well as overnight stays and Amber absolutely adores her. Not only does she make sure my dog gets plenty of fresh air and exercise, but she also engages with her by playing with her favorite toys and even takes her along on errands and to the dog park. She also spoils her with lots of extra attention and love! It’s clear that Megan genuinely cares about animals and treats my dog as if she were her own. I feel completely at ease knowing Amber is in such good hands each time we use Megan. If you're looking for a responsible, caring, and attentive dog sitter, Megan is the one!”

“Lindsay was great.”


12. Linda K.

“Linda is the best! She leaves very detailed Rover cards, takes cute photos of your pup and showcases walk or play times in videos. She is very communicative and makes sure she knows your dogs needs. Our dog absolutely loved her and she took the best care of her while we were away! We can’t thank her enough and will definitely be using her for our next trip.”


13. Caroline O.
“Caroline is a wonderful animal caretaker. She has cared for a puppy as young as eight weeks old as well as our older geriatric dog. She also has experience taking care of an older dog who lost her sight. She cares for the animals as if they were her own. She also has experience as a puppy raiser/sitter for the guide dogs for the blind society. I would highly recommend her to take care of our dogs. Kelly W”


14. Sierra M.
“Sierra takes such good care of all of my animals! I have had Sierra take care of 23 of my animals in my life and highly recommend her services!”


15. Laura G.
“Laura loves animals dearly and is a wonderful caretaker. She has helped me take care of pets before and she treats them with care like they were her own pets or furry children. She is highly responsible and very communicative about schedules, care, etc. you can always trust that your pets will be in good hands with Laura!”


16. Nevaeh L.
“Nevaeh watched my two dogs on multiple occasions. I had a puppy on one occasion and a challenged dog that was very scared. She did great with both. She made my scared dog feel at ease and she took great care of the puppy. She house sat for a week while we were on vacation and did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend Nevaeh for dog walking or dog sitting.”


17. Mattie W.
About: I've taken care of all types of dogs and have been a pet sitter since 2002. I've owned dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, chinchillas, and chickens. In college, I worked for a mobile dog groomer. I'm a marine biologist, so I work offshore often. My schedule has me at sea for 3-6 weeks and then home for a few weeks where I'm fully available to look after your fur babies! I'll be sure to keep my availability updated so you know when I'm around to help out. You know your animals and what they need to be happy and thrive, so I'll do my best to always make sure they're cared for in the way you prefer.

20. Hannah N.
