“Linda was wonderful as always with our young energetic dog Baxter! He had a few buddies to play with, & she was very attentive to him during his 4 day stay. Would highly recommend using Linda for your dog boarding needs!”


“My dog had the time of his life staying with Michelle! We could see in the daily pictures she sent that he was happy, healthy, well cared for and very entertained.”


“James made our dog's first overnight stay away from home a big success. Many thanks to James, his wife De and their dogs Charlee and Chloe. They make Winston feel right at home and part of the family. James sent lots of pictures throughout the day and they clearly showed Winston having a wonderful time. We are taking a trip next week and we will be booking a stay with James because we know Winston will have a great time and be in good hands.”



“We just moved to Flowery Branch from California and we don’t know anyone in the area. We decided last minute to visit family who don’t allow pets. I found Rover.com on the internet and came across Christina. Let me tell you she was MORE THAN I COULD EVER ASK FOR. She took my Boobers super last minute and was so attentive and receptive to all my questions. (I was overly nervous as this was my first time ever leaving my Boobers with a sitter). She knew exactly how to make me and Boobers feel at ease and this is priceless. She stayed in touch with me and sent pictures of Boobers every day. Simply put, she was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and I couldn’t have asked for anything more - 10 stars all around. Thank you Christina!”


“Rebekah is so professional and accommodating at the same time. She exudes confidence and through her delivery of care and human interactions allied me to be comfortable with the service she provided. Daily pictures of my baby were so welcoming and showed how much she cared. I was fearful in leaving Berry but on day 2 he was already integrated and was interacting positively with his surroundings. Thanks Rebekah, I will certainly use you for the care of Berry in the very near future.”



“Jill was wonderful she took great care of our baby Toby. She was very accommodating and was quick to respond and also gave us updates on how he was doing. I wound definitely book with her again in the future.”


“This lady is the best! My dog Stella loves her and has such a great time staying at her farm. It is like going to a Disneyland for dogs. You cannot find a better place to board your pet. Miss Adrienne has such a love for animals and it shows. Will not take my dog anywhere else.”


“Gingi was the perfect person to watch my dogs for a week while I was out of town. Her calm attitude put my dogs (and my anxiety) right at ease. I was able to meet beforehand and let my dogs get to know her and her home. Her home is great, with a big fenced yard. My dogs loved her lounge chair on the back porch. She sent pictures, videos, and messages everyday to show how well they were doing. I definitely recommend her if you need any dogsitting or boarding, and I will definitely let my dogs stay with her if I need to go out of town soon! Thank you Gingi!!”


“Chloe had the best time staying with Jasmine! I contacted her the week of and she was very responsive. Jasmine kept me up to date with everything Chloe was doing. The photos and videos made my day and made me so happy seeing Chloe having the best time. I will definitely be using Jasmine again.”

About: I’ve had a dog in my home since I was born. Two labs and a chihuahua so I’m experienced with both small pets and large pets. I also am experienced with puppies as I have one of my own as well as my family dog. I also help my roommate with her two cats as well as my neighbor. I’ve taken care of a diabetic cat as well as kittens. I am a full time student at UGA but I am available to take care of your pets on weekends and during the weekday after 4pm. I have a fenced in yard with a nice big house. I also have a roommate who will love to spend time with us and give your animal lots of love while you are out and about. Your animal can sleep in my room or in a crate if that’s what you would prefer. I am open to however best your animal needs care.


“Amelia was awesome! Our pups loved her so much and we loved all the updates. Thank you for taking such good care of our babies while we were away. They can’t wait to come back.”


“Friendly and communicative. Gave update every day. Very accomodating, I needed my two very anxious dogs to be watched for 10 days on short notice. The dogs actually pouted when Matthew went back inside, so I know they enjoyed his company very much.”


“Julia is simply awesome. We had her watch our two dogs while we had to make an overnight trip to Statesboro. They feel in love with her right away. Animals can sense when people are good people and with Julia they knew. They had complete run of the house including hanging out on the couch and the beds. Hey and her roommate each had one puppy that slept with them she kept us updated and sent pictures. If you are looking for a dog sitter. I will so vouch for her and great loving attitude. You will not be disappointed.”


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.

“Lyndsey is hands down the best pet sitter I have ever experienced. She’s a true pet lover; and she really cares about the comfort of ur pets!! Please don’t make the mistake of not choosing her as ur sitter you won’t regret it!!”

She even sends me pictures of her and the pets with updates. Logans been an amazing resource when I’m out of town. Not only is she caring and responsible with my pets, she goes the extra mile and takes care of various things around the house, like taking the trash out, checking the mail and tidying up before leaving.
