I know all about special diets and meds as well as routines and special spots and toys. Animals really love me and they usually warm up immediately. They have a sense to them about peoples energies and I think they gravitate to mine. I am a independent contractor with complete control of my schedule.

“Angela and her husband were absolutely amazing to my mini goldenoodle! I need somewhere or our dog to stay while painters painted inside our home. Angela is a gem! She was so easy to talk with and kept in touch with updates and photo. She went out of her way to make Millie feel comfortable and it worked. I think Millie would have moved in with her if I needed her to! I won’t hesitate to contact her again.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, having cared for four dogs of my own — including a large, lovable Newfoundland and Corgi — as well as many family cats. Every summer, I house- and pet-sit for friends and neighbors, looking after dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I truly love both cats and dogs, and I treat every pet like they’re my own, whether that means long walks, gentle grooming, or just being there for plenty of snuggles. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I am a full-time student at the University of Georgia, but I have free days on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I would love to spend my free time helping out with pet sitting for local families and people in need. I miss my pets at home and would love to connect with family pets here at school. I have plenty of outdoor walking trails near my house, and I live in a home with other pet-loving roommates who are open to sharing the space with new pets. I love to be outside and take the dogs to dog parks.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. As a cat owner myself, I understand the unique needs of felines, and I provide a comfortable, loving environment for all pets. As someone who works from home, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m able to provide regular feeding, playtime, and walks throughout the day, ensuring your pet receives consistent attention. With a flexible schedule, I can accommodate special needs and adjust routines as required, all while keeping your pet safe and happy. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a comfortable and safe environment with plenty of space to play, relax, and receive attention. I follow your pet’s regular routine for feeding, exercise, and rest, while offering extra care if needed, such as medication administration or special dietary needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to keep their environment familiar and stress-free. I stick to their regular routines for feeding, walks, and playtime. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions for their care, ensuring they feel secure and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I’ve always had dogs my whole life, I currently have a Pitt Bull Mix. The majority of my experience is with medium to large dogs, but I love all of them. I have plenty of experience with dogs! I grew up with dogs and I’ve had plenty in my life. Right now I have a very high energy Pitt Bull mix and she’s very spoiled! But, like my grandpa says, “a spoiled dog is a good dog.” I have a very high energy dog, who would love a playmate! She’s very loving and friendly! She would do well with a friendly and playful dog.

About: I LOVE DOGS! I have my own - a doodle named Bisskit. He's 4 years old, and the light of my life. I believe that I have the ability to form a personal connection with every animal that I meet. I respect animals, because they are loyal and unconditionally loving companions. It is only right that I return that love back to them! I am a college student, but I have a very flexible schedule due to my being in the home stretch of my undergraduate education! Every day is different for me, but I can always make time for your pet! I like to let my dog roam around my apartment freely. I do have a crate which can be utilized, and Bisskit has plenty of toys to share! In your home, I will abide by whatever rules you set for me. I am flexible and open-minded about pet care!

“Trina is AMAZING!! So sweet with our puppy and her dog is great with the puppy as well! She sent many pictures and videos even though our pup was only there for 5 hours. You can’t go wrong booking with her!”

About: I love animals and befriending all sorts of pets no matter how short or long my time! I have always had a pet in my life ranging from small rodents, dogs and cats. The longest pet relationships I've had are three dogs and a playful cat named Matty that took on the personality of a playful pup. For Doggy Day Care: Currently, I work from home and am able to host small dogs during the day with my own puppy. They will be housed indoors and given potty breaks every 2-4 hours. Please expect your dog to be crated if they are not potty trained and for time outs if they are too hyper. Otherwise, they are free to roam the designated doggy areas and also get to lounge on the couch! Requirements for day care: new clients must provide proof of vaccination, be on monthly parasite control, and should not have history of aggression towards other dogs or strangers. This is necessary to keep my dog safe as well as yours during their stay. Fully vaccinated puppies over 4 months old are also welcome. For House Sitting Care: House sitting is currently on hold. I have house sat for many friends and coworkers who needed dog, cat, or bunny care. I am someone who will easily befriend any pet and make sure they are comfortable throughout your absence. You can also rely on me to keep your home how you left it and am in the habit of tidying up after myself pretty well at client homes.If there are accidents, I am known to clean up or take care of things in the house for you until your return. Whenever I have plans during the stay, I would not stay away for longer than 6 hours. With permission from clients or clients that allow me to bring an additional family member, I have found it beneficial to be able to ask my sister or partner to come along and keep an eye on the pets while I'm away. :D So, if you think I am a good fit for your house sitting needs or drop ins: Please let me know what level of communication you would like throughout my assistance so I can be mindful of whether you want quiet time away or would like updates often. If I haven't heard from you, I will usually do a nightcap with photos and short stories about your pet. :-) I work from home and have a lot of freedom to take care of your dog at my own home. Your dog would follow the current routine I have for my own which is a cycle of potty, play time, nap/rest, and a walk in the afternoon. I enforce crate naps for my puppy, however, we can discuss what your dog needs. I live in an apartment complex that offers two small fields with dog potty stations. I have a lot of experience walking a variety of dogs, so you can be sure to feel safe leaving your dog with me. The front door is also blocked with a 30 inch tall pen so your dog will never be able to bolt through an open door during the stay. We will provide an extra crate for your dog here and they will be supervised most of the time while they are here.

“Benjamin took great care of our 3-year-old high-energy lab. He’s a natural with dogs and we feel lucky to have found him. Our pup came home tired and happy after a day chasing balls in the dog park and playing with Benjamin’s dog. This was the second time Benjamin cared for our lab, and he enthusiastically jumped in his car when Benjamin picked him up. We highly recommend Benjamin for dog care services.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and feel an intense bond with them. I love all sizes and all breeds and feel eternally grateful for the time to get to know a new animal. I’ve adopted, fostered and loved on other people’s pets over the years. Two years is the longest I’ve ever had someone’s animal in my home. I usually work from home, so I am around to spoil your pet as if it were my own. I have a big fenced in back yard for your pup to explore and get energy out... I’m also an avid walker/hiker and love to take a dog with me on that adventure if they’re up for it. During the pandemic I’ve watched a friends dog for literally two years while they were in-between selling and buying a home. Getting to know new animals personalities is so fun for me and our senior dog loves the company and pack bonding. This summer there were only two days I wasn’t taking care of someone’s animals, whether at their house or mine. I also love taking pictures of animals so expect some photographs on your return or to assure you all is well while you’re gone. If I’m hosting I have a fenced yard and an older dog who loves new friends and bed sharing and a 9 year old who enjoys new animals but also respects their space. I have a large crate available if your pup likes being in their own space when needed, otherwise it won’t be used. If your dog is a couch lover I can cover my couch and bed snuggles are always welcome… but I also ask to bring your dogs bed to feel at home and have a familiar smell around. When I’m in your home I like to make sure the animals feel loved on and comfortable and spend some quality time with them, both with snuggles and long walks around the neighborhood if applicable. I enjoy being in the environment of other people’s spaces and have nannied and cleaned houses, air bnb’s and businesses for people for many years and love to keep a clean space. If you need something organized or cleaned that is something I offer for extra income. Also experienced in house plants and can water for you while you’re gone as well (indoor or out if needed).
