About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I can remember I have 3 dogs at home with me and wouldn’t have it any other way. Being around animals always make me happy I’m currently working a part time job serving so I have plenty of extra time to take care of the animals I love to spend my time with I have a fence in my backyard so the animals won’t go anywhere! I also have dogs at home and people to tell you I love animals!
About: Taking care of fur babies is one of my biggest passions! They are family. I understand this more then anyone! The most important thing is to give them the best care and let them feel safe, loved, and trusted. I worked as a vet tech for 14 years. I have had many pets of my own, all with unique needs. One time I had 6 rescues at once. Currently I have 3 dogs who light up my life. All rescues. Two Pekingese and one lab mix. I am very loving, caring, and knowledgeable about your pets! I’m comfortable with special needs such as diets, and medications. Thank you for taking time to read my profile. I hope I get the chance to meet your babies! I am currently a full time student getting my degree in early childhood education- kids and animals are my two passions. I have a very flexible schedule! Which gives me more time for your sweet friends! We have a fenced in yard. Three small pups all very friendly and welcoming especially to others with fur! and a house full of love!
“Maria and Carlos are exactly who you want to care for your dog. My Chorkie CoCo was lavished with constant attention, and pictures and videos were sent to show that she was having a wonderful time. They were very patient with her picky eating and walking her on a leash. They will always be my choice for caring for my CoCo!!”

“Great experience. Katie and Audrey were wonderful to work with. I was at total peace leaving my dog with them. We got pictures and videos of him while in their care. Will definitely book with them again.”

About: I have always had a soft spot in my heart for dogs. I have carried this love into adulthood and I enjoy having them in my life. When your four-legged family member is with us they will be treated as one of the family. They will be doted upon and they will be constantly engaged, touched, and talked to. We go for walks in our 1-acre fenced backyard, which facilitates safe rewarding exploration and discovery. We allow the visitors to play and interact with our loving and friendly standard poodles who are great role models to each other and to visiting pooches. Even though your baby will be on their doggie Vaca, We will still use every opportunity to encourage learning, good manners, and good behavior by giving treats and positive reinforcement throughout the day. Stability, engagement, routine, and structure makes a happy dog and we aim to make sure that every four-legged friend who lodges with us, is happy and never wants to leave. Our resident babies eat twice per day and are allowed out for potty breaks three times per day. If it is a rainy day we do indoor activities in our 35x40 temperature controlled dog suite and we even watch a little "Dog TV" We have a great time, rain or shine! Sleeping arrangements will depend on what your baby is comfortable with but we do not allow our pets on the furniture or in our beds (at least when daddy is around). We have kennels but we allow the dogs to sleep anywhere they want to in the dog suite. I am a retired nurse and I am always home so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for dogs in my day. We have a huge fenced in backyard where all the dogs enjoy their time outdoors. We also have plenty of equipment in the yard for their enjoyment.
About: Hello! I am a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a vibrant, pet filled home with 3 dogs and 16 cats. Having so many furry family members from a young age taught me exactly what it takes to keep animals happy, healthy, and safe. Today, my world still revolves around pets, including my own sweet dog, Tequila, who is my full-time sidekick! Because I am with my dog Tequila all day long, your pet will benefit from constant supervision, structure, and companionship. I have years of experience pet sitting for family and friends handling everything from quick dog walks to extended overnight home boarding. I understand that your pets are family, and I treat every guest with the same love, patience, and attention that I give to my own. I work from home and my job is flexible. My home has a large yard, large enough for lots of running and playing. I also, have a car in case of emergencies or for longer walks at the park. Taking your dog out on different walks or as many walks as they want to go on throughout the day should not be a breeze. There will be lots of safe exploring and running around outdoors depending on your dog’s energy level. I have a few indoors and outdoor toys for playing.
“I would come back! Tre is caring, sweet and you can tell Mayzie enjoyed her time with Tre and Mocha. Sometimes delay in message responses, but never late. Trè was flexibile and easy to work with.”


About: I have years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My background includes EDD K9 handling, obedience training, working bird hunting dogs, and caring for high-energy working breeds that require structure and exercise. I live on 14.9 acres in Madison County, Georgia, providing dogs with a safe, spacious environment to play, explore, and relax. I understand canine behavior, body language, and the importance of maintaining routines that help dogs feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your dog needs active playtime, supervised socialization, or a calm place to stay, I provide dependable, attentive care as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time profession, not a side job. My daily routine is built around the dogs in my care, ensuring they receive attention, exercise, potty breaks, feeding, and supervision throughout the day. Living on 14.9 acres in Madison County, I provide a safe, spacious environment where dogs can enjoy structured outdoor time and plenty of individual attention. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a calm, relaxed atmosphere, I tailor their care to their specific needs. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their dogs are being cared for by someone whose primary focus is their safety, comfort, and happiness. Dogs enjoy a structured daily schedule that includes supervised outdoor exercise, potty breaks, feeding according to their owner’s instructions, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one interaction. Each dog has access to a clean, secure run for rest and quiet time, while also receiving multiple opportunities throughout the day for exercise and socialization when appropriate. Because we accept only a limited number of dogs, we can closely monitor behavior, appetite, activity levels, and overall well-being. This personalized approach helps reduce stress, creates a calmer environment, and allows us to provide the level of care and attention that dogs deserve while their families are away. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and structured home-away-from-home experience where every dog is treated like a valued guest rather than just another boarding reservation.
