We choose pet sitters and dog trainers who have excellent people and pet sitting skills. Connecting quickly even during the first one-on-one meeting with your pets. Our pet sitting/dog walking team goes through a thorough training program. Our dog trainers, dog walkers, and pet sitters are committed to developing a personal and long-term relationship with your pet.
Before pet sitting/dog walking services begin, we’ll match you up with just the right dog walker or pet sitter, and set up an appointment for a private meet-and-greet in your home so you can get to know your pet’s new caregiver and discuss your pet’s individual needs.
Our Dog Training team can give you the skills and the knowledge to better manage your dog. We specialize in Private In-Your-Home Training from puppies to adult dogs.

Sathid Pankaew
Lead Certified Dog Trainer
Hi! I’m Sathid. I am a Certified Trainer and Behavior Consultant (CTBC) with over 8 years of animal experience and 5 years of training experience. I worked for 3 years as the coordinator of East Bay SPCA’s behavior and training program, and have also worked in private training facilities as well as private client’s homes with dogs and cats. I completed my certification with Janice Bradley’s Dog Training Internship Academy in 2015.
I utilize Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and LIMA (least intrusive, minimally aversive) methods, AKA: evidence-based/science-based, reward-based training. These methods have been used successfully to train everything from marine mammals to butterflies, iguanas, and tigers to domestic cats and dogs in rehabilitation from pit-fighting. My goal is for the humans as well as the animals in any situation to stay safe, get their needs met, and maintain a high quality of life. I’m ready to help you with:
- aggression
- reactivity
- multi-dog interactions
- guarding/possessiveness
- choosing and preparing for a new pet
- separation-related behaviors
- predatory behavior
- handling and grooming sensitivities
- basic manners like loose-leash walking and coming when called
- jumpy/mouthy behavior
- fear
- puppy training and socialization…
Teresa Benbow
Office Manager
Hi! I’m Teresa. I have a husband and 4 daughters – 2 human daughters (both currently in college), and 2 spoiled furry daughters (Dixie, my miniature poodle, and Callie, my Bichon poodle mix)! My husband and I moved to Georgia over 21 years ago from the Denver area to start our family and love this area so much, we never left!
I have an extensive human resources and office management background, where most recently I worked for an educational technology/software company handling facilities and office functions for two locations. In my professional life, I enjoy trying to bring organization and structure to everyone’s day-to-day activities.
In my free time I love cooking, reading mystery/thriller books, jigsaw puzzles and non-stop cuddling with my furry girls!

Social Media Manager
I am an avid football fan and love to travel and experience new cultures especially the food.
I currently have one fur baby named Bailee. She is a super sweet Maltipoo with a fun-loving spirit. I have always had dogs and cats all my life, including 4 German Shepards who hold a special place in my heart.
Kathie
Pet Sitter
Hi, I’m Kathie. I recently moved from Illinois to Georgia to be closer to family. I am a dog owner and a dog lover.
My previous experience caring for dogs and cats in a professional manner was at a pet shelter in Illinois. I started out volunteering there and loved it so much I began working there. I worked with various breeds of all different sizes, ages, and health requirements and fell in love with each one, so much so that I ended up adopting a dog from the shelter while I was a volunteer.
I have a bachelor’s degree, but it has nothing to do with animals. I just love to be around them and will provide a fun and caring experience for your pets while you’re away.
