About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 10 including my own along with neighbors and friends animals. I have 2 dogs of my own as of today and have trained my one dog to even become an emotional support animal for those in need. i’m currently a college student and a student athlete.My availability consists on Mondays and Wednesdays after 1pm and Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays before 5. Weekends differ based on times. I have 2 dogs myself that need lots of attention and love so it comes to me easily with taking care of any animal for me.

Camille was by far the best and most thoughtful cat-sitter we’ve ever had! She came on time every time, sent adorable photos, left the house pristine, and went above and beyond with requests we made while on our trip. Would recommend her highly!!

About: I grew up on a farm taking care of dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, and bunnies my whole life. I feel very comfortable around all types of animals and know very well on how to take care of them properly. I’m a student at UGA now and working towards graduating this May. My homework has slowed down a lot and I am looking for ways to make extra cash with my free time. I will take care of your pets safely in your home—cleaning up after their messes, taking them out at appropriate times, and playing with them.

Hanna was great stopping by everyday and attempting to coax my very shy cats out of hiding, she kept their food, water and litter in great condition and the cats were happy and healthy when I returned home.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and have fostered puppies with TND rescue in Athens. I’ve also worked in veterinary offices and volunteered at multiple different animal rescues. I love all dogs and have confidence I can help make your pet feel comfortable and well taken care of! I have a very flexible schedule that can help fit your needs. I am working online so I have very open availability. I love to take long walks so if you have a high energy pup I’m the girl for you! I have also worked in veterinary offices so I feel comfortable working with dogs of all ages and health concerns. I prefer to care for your animal in your home but can be flexible depending on my location. I can make sure a house is kept tidy if watching a dog in your home!

We were very happy with Patricia's care when we booked drop-in visits for our dog with her! She replied promptly, was very friendly, and it was easy to schedule visits with her. During the visits, she gave us very thorough updates including photos of our pup! We would use her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone!

Most importantly, I know Maz will be taken care of when Angela is on the case—but I also appreciate her pics and updates, too! She really got to know my cat’s personality because her updates are on point 😻

About: I have provided care to all ages ranging from puppies to senior dogs. I am very gentle with dogs and will care for your dog the same way I would care for my own. I am a full-time nurse working 3 days a week and I would like to take care of your fur babies on my off days! I want to create a safe and healthy environment for every dog and ensure they are kept well fed, hydrated, and very loved. I will have open communication with pet owners and provide updates to notify owners on how their fur baby is doing!

About: I’ve grown up with animals for pretty much my whole life, and have always loved having them around! In the last few years, I’ve been living alone and touring for work, so I can’t morally have a cat or dog of my own. I have a crested gecko and a california king snake (named Minkie and Burger) that keep to themselves, and honestly most of the time they are completely still or have hidden themselves in some foliage, so they’ve never been much interest to dogs or cats that have been in my house. Half of the time I work from home, either mixing or making string arrangements for albums. If I am working at a studio or running sound at a venue, I’m able to take a break to let out anyone who needs to be let out, but ideally would just schedule myself for days where I’m already working from home. Ideally I’d be able to be around them as much as possible! I’m a bit of a homebody when I get the chance, so I’d make sure they’re the center of attention :)

About: Hi! I’m a UGA student and a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for my own pets as well as dogs belonging to friends and family. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits. Walks typically range from 10–30 minutes, depending on your dog’s needs, and drop-in visits include letting your dog outside for 5–10 minutes, along with checking on them and making sure they’re comfortable. I’ve grown up helping care for dogs by feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they get the attention and exercise they need, and I currently help walk and care for one of my friend’s dogs as needed. As a student, I have a flexible schedule and can generally spend up to 30 minutes with each pet, with longer visits available upon request. I’m reliable, patient, and always focused on making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. As a student, my schedule is very flexible, especially during the daytime so I can easily fit walks, play time and check-in into my routine. I don’t have a dog here in Athens, so I truly enjoy getting to spend time with pups, giving them attention, playtime, and comfort. I focus on creating a calm safe and loving environment. I follow each pets normal routine and make sure they feel right at home.

About: I've had pets my whole life. Currently, I have two of the sweetest dogs! Other than my own, I have taken care of other people's pets since I was about 15. I have cared for other animals by staying in their home over night, bringing the dogs to my home, and drop-ins throughout the day. I am very reliable and will treat your pet like my own! I’m currently working in the mornings most days with the exception of Thursdays. I am available to care for your pets in the mornings, afternoons, and nights Friday-Wednesdays. On Thursdays, I’m available mornings and nights. I’m pretty flexible, so I’m sure we can work something out to make sure your pet gets all the attention and love! Whatever your pets are most comfortable with in your home, I can do! I love to keep pets on a schedule and what they’re used to, so whatever they need I can accommodate.

About: I care for pets of all ages—cats and dogs! I have a flexible schedule around school and my small business, and I keep rates low to make pet care affordable for everyone. Let me love on your pets so you can enjoy your time away worry-free! My scheduling is very flexible and I am able to care for animals in between my academics and my other nannying job! I also have a small business, but am trying to make as much money as possible to support myself as a fully, financially independent college student. You’d be doing me a huge service by helping support me and removing some of that financial burden 😊😊 I prioritize safety and comfort for every pet. I make sure to follow any feeding or medication instructions, and provide supervision at all times. I’m experienced with pets of all ages and temperaments, so you can trust they’re in good hands.

I absolutely adore Caroline. She is a genuinely kind soul and, just as important, my fur baby loves her. You can tell she has a natural warmth and care for little hearts, and that’s what makes her so special and such a magnet for animals. We had a small hiccup with entry, but she handled it with nothing but patience and kindness.

Jaden was amazing with my dogs. Taking care of them is definitely not easy, and he showed so much patience, dedication, and willingness to make sure they were well cared for. This was the first time I had ever left my dogs with someone else, so I was a little nervous, but Jaden gave me complete peace of mind throughout the entire experience. Thank you so much for everything. I’m truly grateful for the excellent care you provided, and I would absolutely trust you with my dogs again in the future.
