About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my routine. I have several years of experience on Rover, providing dog walks, drop-ins, and in-home care. My responsibilities include feeding, bathing, cleanup, and of course spending quality time playing and making sure pets feel happy and safe! I also have experience caring for cats and am comfortable meeting their individual needs. I always aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet! I work full-time, so I’m available for pet care in the morning and after 5:00 PM Monday through Friday as well as during lunch time. On weekends, I’m fully flexible and able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and in-home care. I am very energetic and let the dog come to me to create trust. After the walk, I make sure they have water near by!

“Caroline was fantastic, and really made me feel ok about leaving my cats for a few days. I’ll absolutely book her again the next time I go out of town.”

“My dogs adore them, and we are very happy to have found them. They are the best when it comes to caring for my dogs; the truth is that my dogs are in the very best hands.”

About: I’ve always been that person who immediately notices the dog before the humans (respectfully 😂). I genuinely love animals and take caring for them seriously. Whether your pet is full of zoomies, prefers a slow stroll, or just wants someone to sit nearby while they judge me from across the room (looking at you, cats), I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m reliable, patient, detail-oriented, and I’ll stick to your pet’s routine because I know consistency matters. Expect lots of updates, cute pictures, and the occasional message telling you your dog made a new best friend (me). I’m currently a PhD student, so my schedule has flexibility throughout the week. Pet care is honestly one of my favorite ways to step away from my computer, get outside, and spend time with some furry company. I’ll always communicate clearly, arrive when I say I will, and make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. If your pet is in my care, they’re my priority. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep a close eye on their behavior, and make sure they stay safe and comfortable. I know leaving your pet with someone else can feel nerve-racking, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can actually enjoy your time away instead of wondering how your fur baby is doing.

About: Hi! I'm Susanna, and by day two I'm usually besties with your pet. When I'm not spending time with animals, I'm a graduate student in landscape architecture and currently interning at Watermark Landscape Architecture and Land Planning. I love being outdoors, staying active, and connecting with nature—which is one of the reasons I love caring for pets. Whether your dog enjoys a leisurely stroll or needs to burn off energy with a run, I'm happy to match their pace (I'll always go the extra block for them!). I live right by the Ecusta Trail, so daily walks are already part of my routine. I'm friendly, responsible, reliable, and will treat your pet like one of my own. I currently have a 4-year-old indoor/outdoor cat, and I grew up with dogs, so I know how much they become part of the family. I miss having dogs around and would love the chance to get to know yours! I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'm happy to follow any care instructions to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My schedule is very flexible. I'm available before 9:00 a.m. and after 5:00 p.m. on weekdays, and I'm generally available throughout the weekends. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family—I can't wait to become your pet's new favorite friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I already structure my day around being active and spending time outdoors. On weekdays, I’m typically available early in the morning before 9 a.m. and again in the evenings after 5 p.m., which works well for consistent walks, feedings, and check-ins. I like starting and ending my day outside, so incorporating dog walks or cat care visits into those times feels very natural and enjoyable for me. Living near the Ecusta Trail also makes it easy for me to take dogs on longer, enriching walks as part of my regular routine. As a graduate student, my schedule is flexible, and I’m able to plan my day around pet care commitments. On weekends, I generally have open availability, which allows me to provide more extended visits, extra walks, or more time for pets who need additional attention. Since I already care for my own cat daily, pet care is not something I “fit in”—it’s already part of how I live. I’m used to being consistent, attentive, and responsible with feeding schedules, litter box care, exercise, and companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress-free by closely following all instructions for feeding, walks, litter box care, medication, and any special needs. For dogs, I provide walks and exercise based on their energy level, whether that’s relaxed neighborhood strolls or longer outings on nearby trails. I prioritize safety, attention, and positive interaction. For cats, I take a calm, patient approach and adjust to their personality—some want play and attention, while others prefer quiet space. I always ensure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and a comfortable environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and well-being and communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners feel confident and at ease while away. My goal is to care for every pet as thoughtfully as I would my own.

“kathryn was so great with mitsi! she left me a detailed review of their time together (two walks in one day) and mitsi looked super happy in the photos. i’ll definitely be reaching out to kathryn in the future for times i need care for mitsi!”

“did a great job looking after my fur babies and kept me posted with lots of pictures and info. Definitely cares about my kitties and would use her again for sure.”

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for a week+ on end. As well, I have two large dogs at home and two cats. One of my cats has diabetes, and so I am comfortable with giving him his insulin as well. I am currently a full time student, but other than class I am available to take care of your pets! The best times of days for me to stop by are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings, as well as the afternoons every day. In your home, I love playing with lots of toys with your pets (I have two big dogs at home) as well as I love going on long walks (bonus if your pet has a lot of energy!) I also love just sitting and being company- I always have homework and love having a buddy to sit with me

About: I have provided pet sitting services since I was in highschool. I have worked with many different breeds and have experience in training smaller dogs, working with elderly dogs, and working with injured dogs who need more care. I love to play with dogs and help them achieve their exercise goals! I am currently in school and have availability throughout the week and weekends to walk dogs! My availability is listed below: Sunday - available all day Monday - 9am-12pm Tuesday - 9am-1pm Wednesday - 3:30pm-8pm Thursday - 12:30pm-1:30pm Friday - 3:15pm-6pm Saturday - 9:30am-5pm (subject to change) In a clients home, I keep your pet where they are allowed. If you have a fenced in yard or prefer I use a leash I will also accommodate for that. Refilling water or if feeding is needed will be done to ensure your pet is happy until you come back!

About: My name is Owen, and I am a first-year student at the University of Georgia. I started pet-sitting when I was 10, around my neighborhood in Atlanta. It was a good job for me when I was young, but it really took off when I turned 15. I have been working with multiple people for 4 years now, mostly every day, and I have never had any issues with any animals during my time. I also started doing a dog-walking business in Atlanta, Ga, my hometown, this summer. I love to run, so I try to incorporate dog walking into that with the pups. I take most of the dogs that I walk on a mile walk, but will run them 2+ miles as well for the ones with lots of energy. I house-sat for 1 month straight this summer, giving me experience working with dogs for a long period of time. I have a lot of patience with animals and love to spend time with them outside of pet-sitting. My schedule usually looks like 3-4 visits in one day for petsitting/housesitting and then walks whenever needed. I am here for whatever anyone needs. I have taken care of many sick animals and old dogs who need a lot of attention. On top of my pet-sitting, I am also always down to do any around-the-house jobs, like lawn care and moving, etc. I would love to house-sit for anyone, but I am also down for potty breaks and a walk. I do dog walks everyday and have built it into my schedule. I make sure that I am hanging out with them for at least 30 minutes every visit that I have. During the week, I am in classes, but on many days I can walk the dogs in the morning or whenever they need it. I will go weeks on just petsitting so it has become a big part of my life. I am very available and always down to hangout with some pets. I keep the animals fed and happy. I make sure to play with them and give them lots of love. I keep them fit by walking and running them and I will make sure your home and animals stay safe.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life living at home and have always had friends and cousins with cats as well. I have been pet sitter for dogs and cats for several of my neighbors. I am used to walking two dogs so I can handle a lot! I love animals so much and being able to still be around them while being away from home is a wonderful opportunity. I am currently a student at the University of Georgia but I am free most weekends and after 11 am on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I love animals and have great energy for walks and drop ins! I love to exercise and play with pets as needed. I am devoted and caring towards all needs.

About: Animals have always had my heart. I truly believe every pet deserves to be spoiled with love, kindness, and the best care possible. I have an elderly dog of my own and have raised several puppies, so I understand the extra patience and care that both senior dogs and little ones need. I'll treat your furry family member like they're my own and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable from the moment we meet. Also, I am a runner. I love to run and if any of your dogs need extra exercise I would love to get one of my runs done with your dog! I am a college student looking for work that I love. Caring for pets doesn’t even feel like working. I will fit in as much as I can as my schedule allows! For sitting or drop-ins, I like to ask as many questions as possible and maybe meet the pet beforehand so that they feel comfortable.

About: My goal in pet sitting is to provide quality care specific to the pet I care for. I have worked with a variety of animals over the years including many breeds of both dogs and cats. Furthermore, I am a pre-vet student and have worked with a variety of vets, meaning I have expert knowledge on how to best work with pets. As I am a University of Georgia student, my work week is quite busy. However, I am available through select parts of the day and on weekends. Quick check ins for pet care would be the highlight of my day! I will evaluate the pet I am caring for based off communication from my client as well as my own observations. Approaching each pet as a blank slate and learning their needs with patience is important to me. Of course, constant and continued communication with my client is of the utmost importance to ensure the best quality of pet care.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and currently have three of my own, so caring for them is something I truly love. I have 4 years of pet care experience and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I’m responsible, attentive, and patient, and I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of love, attention, and care while they’re with me. I am currently a senior in college and am mostly available daily after 3:00 p.m. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for afternoon and evening walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I treat every pet like I would my own. I make sure they are safe, comfortable, and receive plenty of attention. I enjoy playing with dogs, taking them outside, and helping them get their energy out. I am also very responsible about following feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions provided by the owner.
