“Lara was very professional and kind. Her love of dogs is endearing and admirable. She took the time to teach me ways to help our dog, Kona, to be easier to be with. She took care of Kona perfectly and I am very grateful.”

“Taryn is wonderful-responsible & caring to both our pets and us. She stays in touch, keeping us informed and feeling confident that our home and animals were in the best of care. When we are in need of services, I first reach out to Taryn to see if she is available. I highly recommend!”

“Sara has been looking over our bulldog Bellaire for drop in visits. Our dog is very complicated as a rescue that has a history of resource guarding, but that does not phase Sara. She is so patient with our girl and takes extra time to let her settle down for the rest of the day. Sara’s communication is excellent and makes you feel like your pup is in such safe hands. I highly recommend to book Sara for the care of your pup!”

“I've never used a dog sitter before. This was the first time I've ever left my dogs in the care of anyone who was not a family member. I was also nervous because this was the longest I've ever been away from my dogs!! Leah and Zoe quickly made the nervousness disappear. I received tons of pictures and feedback regarding my girls! And once I saw how friendly my Chihuahua grew to be towards them (because she's very picky), I knew I made the right choice!! I plan to use these ladies each and every time!”

About: I am an experienced dog owner and sitter. I grew up in a family that always had pets, including cats and dogs, and have owned multiple dogs since living on my own. Currently, I have one small chiweenie and regular dogsit dogs including Cocker Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, and Great Pyrenees. Shy or nervous rescue pets are no problem! I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, counter surfers, etc. Pets with medical issues are welcome as I have experience taking care of dogs and cats with a variety of issues who’ve needed everything from shots throughout the day or diaper changes or to receive mobility assistance. I also have experience caring for chickens if you need someone to care for your chicks. I work full-time, but I am done at 4:30PM every weekday except for Friday - on Fridays, I am done at 1 PM. I also have flexibility in my schedule, so I can stop by to take care of any needs during the day or work from home if a pet needs additional care. I am up early every morning to give pets plenty of time to eat and play before leaving. When I get home, the first thing I do is let pets out to potty and to play. Throughout the evening, there is plenty of time for walks and playtime before bed. . First and foremost, I will strive to match or mimic the care and routine you give your pets at home. With a fenced in yard, your pet will have a safe place to potty and play. There are also many parks nearby to take your pet on walks or provide them with socialization. Pets are able to climb on furniture, sleep on my bed, and have mostly free rein of the house — my home is their home while we’re here. However, I have a pet gate I can put up and experience crating pets (as well as crate training dogs) for any pet who can’t be left free to roam.
“Angel was an amazing sitter. She was extremely flexible when our plans went sideways and handled it very well. She’s very communicative and knows a lot about taking care of some high maintenance puppies!”

“Morgan is amazing!!! Our sweet kitty absolutely loved her. I was nervous at first because he can be shy around new people but Morgan was able to build trust with him almost instantly! The detailed updates and photos we received daily put our minds at ease when we were away, and we knew he was very well taken care of, and most importantly HAPPY! Morgan went above and beyond to make sure all our detailed notes were executed and we really appreciated that.”

“Ashley was great to work with and took superb care of my doggos! Even my dog that doesn’t like anybody liked her! You are leaving your pets in great hands when you leave them with Ashley!”

“I was really nervous about using Rover for the first time, but I'm so glad I did, because Emma took amazing care of our two dogs while we were out of town. She kept us updated and sent lots of pictures, and our boys were so happy. Emma will be at the top of our list the next time we need someone to take care of our pets for us.”

“Amazing!! I can tell by how my dogs act what they thought of someone walking them when we have to be gone. Both my babies were in a good mood and couldn’t wait to tell me about their new friend! Thank you so much! Definitely recommend!”


About: HI I’m Heaven, and I’ve always loved being around animals. I have a one year old cat named Ponyo and a three year old American Bulldog named Molly, so I’m used to both playful energy and laid-back cuddle time. I’ve done pet sitting before and love it! I know how important it is to make pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m easygoing, patient, and attentive, and I try to match each pet’s personality so they feel safe and happy. I’d love to help take care of your pets and make things a little less stressful for you while you’re away! I’m currently working part time, and have a lot of wiggle room to fit in your needs! I take daily walks with my own dog and love getting to be outside with pets. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and playtime. I treat every home with respect by keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as I found them. I also provide regular updates with photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for :)
About: I've got multiple years of experience handling a highly anxious dog that can be dog selective during high stress situations. I was the one primarily training my family's two dogs, as well as the one taking them out on as many walks as I was able. I have multiple years worth of experience with senior dogs that had arthritis and who needed to have their food prepped especially for easier eating. I'm currently a student at the University of Georgia and currently looking into part time summer positions, however my schedule is very flexible with daily check-ins and overnight stays during both the week and weekend are very doable. During check-ins, outside of ensuring food and water are available, I would make sure to spend time playing and hanging out with any dog and if I have time to take them on a walk I will. For overnights, I would do the same thing with the only difference being the amount of time I'd be able to spend with the dog.

About: I’ve been caring for pets and pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was young. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including larger breeds such as Pit Bulls, XL American Bullies, and Cane Corsos. I’m comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and safety. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just lots of attention and affection, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I promise to be dependable, responsible, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I am currently a college student home for the summer and do not have another job, which allows me to offer a very flexible schedule. I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding. If your pet is staying with me, I will be home for most of the day aside from occasional errands or appointments. This allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, exercise, and companionship to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I live in a house with a yard and access to a dog park within my neighborhood, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, and enrichment. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions provided by owners and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I will provide attentive care tailored to their individual needs.
“Savannah is the absolute best! We had a last minute need while we were out of town and she dropped everything to help us out! Our pups adore her and she kept us informed of her visits without ever having to ask or wonder how things were going. Responsible. Reliable. Kind. Caring. And very in tune with our pups! An absolute gem!”

“Aubrey replied promptly to our pet sitting request and scheduled a visit to meet our cats that evening. She was very comfortable handling and giving medication to our senior kitty with hyperthyroidism. She let us know she was coming before each visit and sent multiple photos and videos of each of our cats, including the one who likes to hide. When we forgot that we had a Chewy order coming, she unboxed the items and put them away and she brought in our deliveries. She also agreed to an extra visit on our return date, when we were worried that we would get in late. We were pleased with the care she provided to our pets and would hire her again.”

“Really enjoyed Samantha dog sitting for me. She was on time an always communicated when leaving and coming. Sent photos of the dogs. Would highly recommend her for dog sitting again.”
