1. Ashley M.

“Ashley was so great with our kitty! We asked her kind of last minute to stop by and hang out with her and feed her dinner. We asked for an hour and she ended up giving extra cuddles for two and it was really sweet of her to do so. I know Georgia really appreciated it and so did we!!”

6. Lara M.
“Lara was fantastic! From the moment she did a meet-and-greet with my dog, Patch, she was incredibly thoughtful and asked great questions to ensure Patch received the best care. She was very communicative throughout and made the entire experience worry-free. I truly appreciated her attention to detail and how comfortable she made both me and Patch feel. I would absolutely trust Lara to care for Patch again!”

“Ashlyn was easy to communicate with during the booking process. During our meet and greet, our puppy felt comfortable immediately! She dropped into our house 3 scheduled times over two days and it was so helpful for us and our pup. I would hire Ashlyn again in the future!”


8. Sara W.
About: I'm a veterinary student at UGA with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and livestock. I've worked in clinics and shelters. I absolutely love connecting with animals. I'm confident handling all temperaments and know how to recognize signs of illness or stress. Whether it's a senior dog or a high-energy pup, l'll treat your pet like family. With school wrapping up, I’ve got plenty of free time—and what better way to spend it than caring for and hanging out with awesome animals? I live in a cozy two-story home with plenty of space for pets to relax and explore. There's a temporary fenced area for outdoor time and lots of room for walks in a quiet neighborhood. It's a calm, pet-friendly space where your dog can feel right at home.

10. Sophia R.

“Sophia was prompt to respond to my request for a drop-in the following day to check on our Cocoa & let her out while we were out of the house. Will definitely have her on our list to use again in the future. Thanks, Sophia.”


11. Linda K.

“Linda was absolutely awesome. I contacted her at the last minute the day before I needed someone to come take care of my two older pups and she was outstanding with them. Super professional and went above and beyond with feedback about how my pups were doing. If you want your dogs loved and taken care of, make sure you hire her”


12. Haley M.

“Haley was great! She came over to the house a few days before watching Dixie so I could show her where everything was and explains dog’s dietary needs for meal time. Very communicative about her visits with plenty of photos and was very easy to coordinate with. I will definitely be using Haley again in the future for drop in visits.”


13. Annie D.

“Annie did an excellent job taking care of my cat Julian while I was away. She followed all of my directions and spent time with Julian to make sure he was healthy and happy. I would highly recommend Annie to take care of your cats.”


14. Angela C.

“Angela was a fantastic sitter! She did write ups every day about my cat, it was great getting to read about how things went! She also dripped my faucets for me which was a real life saver while I was out of town. 10/10!”


15. Natalie H.

“Natalie is great- super sweet and very reliable! She dropped in daily to take care of my two kitties while I was out of town for an entire week. She was very responsive when I messaged her a couple of details I had forgotten while I was away. She consistently checked in around 11am every day, even though I told her I didn't really care if she stuck to that time or wanted to be more flexible. I hope to work with Natalie again in the future, and 10/10 would recommend!”


16. Mattie W.

“Mattie was amazing to take care of our pets during the storm. She calmed them down and went the extra mile to take the dog on a walk during the breaks to stretch her doggie legs. Mattie also made sure our house was ok during the storm.”


17. Madelyn A.
“My pup, Romeo, LOVED her! He was so happy and welled cared for! He normally gets pretty anxious when i leave, but when i came home after Madelyn visited, he seemed much more calm and relieved! Madelyn was so timely and communicative! I will certainly hire her again!”


18. Sara G.
“Sara has loved animals ever since I can remember! She has cared for injured birds, volunteered at our local animal rescue, even coordinated a community dog walk to raise money for our Veterinary Clinic. Her love for animals has now carried over to a hopeful career in Veterinary Medicine-as she attends the University of Georgia majoring in Animal Studies with aspirations of becoming a veterinarian someday. Sara is someone who is loyal, trustworthy and is dedicated to her work. She would be perfect for this job!!”
