“Katie was able to come and take care of my fur babies when I had a last minute cancellation. She was great with my babies and kept me updated everyday. I highly recommend her if you want someone who cares for your babies as much as you do.”


“My dog loves her! As soon as I got home I let him out of his crate and he usually just wants attention but after her visit he ran around the whole house to see if she was still here! Amazing experience!”


“Carson is awesome! This was our first time leaving our cat, so we were nervous. Carson took pictures every day and is a wonderful communicator. Will definitely be rebooking him for our next trip!”


“Nikki was perfect for watching our 17 year old cat while we were out of the country for 10 days! The pictures were great everyday and we have no doubt she was well taken care of. Thank you again so much.”



“Maria was great! Being first timers with Rover, we weren’t sure of the outcome. Maria met with us. She listened to our concerns, putting us at ease by answering the questions we had. She provided great care to our 3 dogs, all of which require their own unique specialized care. She administered oral medications as well as topical medicine for skin ailments. Maria was wonderful!! She went above and beyond in taking care of our dogs. We will definitely use Maria C. again in the future!”


“Ten was fantastic with my 2 fur babies who need to be fed 2x a day. Even my very shy cat came out to see her. Will absolutely be booking with REN again. Excellent visit notes as well.”


About: I cared for my 2 sweet black Cocker Spaniels as a child and as a young adult I had a Coon Hound as well as a Chihuahua. I am retired and have plenty of time to care for your pet. I only leave for short grocery runs, but if asked, will not leave your precious pet alone. I have a medium sixed fenced back yard for exercise, sunshine, and lots of fetch games for you precious small dog and a cool home during the hot months.

“I was very happy with Elizabeth's help. She made me feel very comfortable leaving my babies for her to check on. Great communication, and she went out of her way to make sure everything was just right. I would definitely ask her for her assistance again when needed and I would recommend her to others looking for a great carer for their pets.”


About: I have stayed over night for multiple days for different individuals over the years. Been able to assist in giving medication to dogs. Help with potty training puppies. I work remotely from home for a pediatric clinic as a receptionist. I am on the phone and computer most of the day. I am able to take breaks at my discretion. Only work Monday-Friday and some weeks I only work 22 hours. Have fed the pets, taking them for walks few times during the day, if needed gave medications. Can play with the pets during my off the clock time.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have extensive experience in training and handling. I provide personalized, one-on-one attention to ensure every pup feels safe, happy, and well cared for. While you’re at work, your dog will enjoy a fun, engaging, and secure environment filled with playtime, companionship, and plenty of love! I currently have a flexible schedule and make it a priority to keep my calendar up to date with any times I’m unavailable. I don’t have many set plans at the moment, so I’m able to be highly reliable and responsive for bookings. Whether you need last-minute help or something scheduled in advance, I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs! Drop-In Visits & Dog Walking Services When you book me for a drop-in visit, your pets get more than just a quick check-in—they get genuine attention, love, and care. I’ll follow all your instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding, giving medication, letting them out for a potty break, cleaning up messes, or just offering some playtime and affection while you’re away. I make sure your pets feel safe and relaxed, and I always send updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. For dog walking, I tailor each walk to your dog’s needs—whether they’re full of energy and need a brisk walk or prefer a slower, sniff-filled stroll. Safety is my top priority, and I make sure your dog gets quality exercise, enrichment, and a calm return home. I always make sure water bowls are topped off before I leave and that your pup is settled and happy. Consistency, kindness, and communication are at the heart of how I care for every pet. 🐾

“Savannah is amazing! Friendly, kind, reliable, and most importantly, our dog Thor really loves her and was happy to see her on daily visits while I was out of town. We feel very fortunate that we found her, and hope to book with her for any future pet sitting needs.”


“Bailey was available at the last minute and was able to step in and take care of our 3 dogs which really helped us out. Our dogs were well taken care of and were very happy with her! She communicated well and sent us pictures. Highly recommend her!”


About: I’ve always loved Animals! I’ve had a dog since I was 7. I’ve never met an animal that didn’t get along with me. I always felt like they gravitate towards me! I also currently have two dogs, who are my world! I am a stay at home mom, who also works retail part time! With my dogs we play and cuddle whenever I can! I also walk my doggies 3 times a day, depending on the weather! So my schedule is flexible to take care of your fur babies! I will walk your dog as much as I’m instructed or as needed! I do have a large kennel if they have to go in or one isn’t brought from home! As long as you tell me your dogs schedule (if they don’t have one , that is fine!) we should be fine!

About: We have been caring for dogs, cats, donkeys, goats, and pigs for well over 10 years. We have recently moved to Athens and bring with us that experience to offer to you! We have helped birth and raised numerous dogs, numerous cats from birth, to include bottle feeding both dogs and cats. I have worked at horse ranch as well. My wife and I have grown up around and cared for animals all of our life. I currently work full time and I'm home by 5pm, but my wife is a stay at home mother, so someone will always be available for potty breaks, feeding, watering or play time! We are able to do drop in visits, boarding as well as dog sitting! We currently have 4 very friendly dogs that get along great with any animal we have had over or around, so plenty of friends for your pup to play with! We also have a large fenced in yard, and a shop with concrete flooring for shelter if needed.

“Kimberley was absolutely wonderful with our three dogs! She was super flexible with timing and really cared about giving them lots of love and attention. One of our pups was having accidents, and she handled it without hesitation. She even cleaned up and brought us a cleaner to help. She also followed our diaper instructions perfectly. You can really tell she has a big heart for animals. We’re so grateful for her help and would definitely book her again!”


About: With years of pet care experience, I genuinely love working with animals of all sizes and ages. I’m skilled in feeding, grooming, and administering medication, always prioritizing their comfort and safety. Whatever I’m not experienced in, I’m eager to learn! What truly sets me apart is my ability to build meaningful connections with pets, making them feel loved and secure ensuring they receive the best care possible. I currently have flexible availability and can accommodate various scheduling needs. My goal is to ensure your pets receive the care they deserve, whenever you need it. During drop-in visits, I prioritize the comfort and well-being of pets by first assessing their behavior and environment to ensure they feel at ease. I provide fresh food and water according to the owner’s instructions and engage in playtime and walks tailored to each pet's energy levels and preferences. Basic grooming tasks, if requested. If medication is needed, I administer it as directed and keep a record of what was given. I make sure to spend quality time with the pets, offering companionship. Communication is very important so I ensure I provide frequent updates!

“Callie was wonderful! Her communication is amazing and made sure to keep us updated on our Rottweiler while we were away. I love that she provided us with so many pictures during her check ins. I would 100% recommend her and would work with her again. Your furry friends are in great hands with Callie!”
