Hailey is absolutely amazing! She has been caring for my dogs for 5 years now. She truly treats them like they’re her own. She will send tons of pictures of your furry friend if you want. When she’s caring for them I don’t have to worry about my dogs when I am away.

The times I've left town and was unable to bring my cat, Lorie, with me, Niki always made sure she was taken care of. I have a very specific schedule with Lorie (very specific hand-fed meals throughout the day, multiple playtimes, a clean litter box twice a day), and I would get nervous about making sure that she doesn't lose this schedule when I'm gone. Niki would complete these tasks exactly every time whenever I left town for multiple days or was gone in the afternoons and evenings. Whenever I returned, Lorie would greet me contently, and her surroundings had stayed perfectly well-kept. Niki would also send plenty of updates and pictures, so we both knew Lorie had a very good time getting all the attention from Niki. Because of all this, I know Niki will bring this same attentiveness and care to Rover as well.

Sofia is as good as it gets. Plain and simple. She has watched over my parent's 4 dogs and the dogs have always been so happy they don't want to leave when it's time to pick them up. As a pre-vet student at UGA Sofia also has extensive knowledge of your pets and helped my own cat when he got sick (due to some side effects of his neutering) while I was on vacation. Sofia is the only person I've left my pets with and felt like they really cared about the experience my pets were going to have! Safe to say I'd rather have no one else watching my pets while I'm away!

Stephen is wonderful with our two Australian Shepherds (one old and one young). He plays with them, walks them, sends us video and picture updates when we're away for more than a couple of days, and he's been very patient and conscientious with our younger dog who likes to eat covers off of tennis balls, mulch, and other sundry things he finds in the back yard. He noticed when the dog wasn't feeling well after one such incident and took good care of him, reaching out to our vet and handling the issue well. When we were away for 10 days, our neighbors commented to us when we returned about "the nice guy who often took our dogs for walks" and how good he was with them. He's respectful of our home, very responsible, and an all-around great guy. We trust him 100% with our furry family members and highly recommend him.

About: I am currently a vet assistant at UGA Vet Med and have a lot of experience handling dogs and cats.

I am currently working part time as a Vet Assistant at UGAs pet health center. Twice a week I help attend to dogs and cats and ensure they are getting the best treatment and care. Ensuring the dogs safety is my number one priority. I would never leave a dog outside unattended, or out in the open. Always leashing dogs is very important to me too.

I cannot recommend Kendall and Darbie highly enough as your next pet sitters. Their meticulous attention to detail, adherence to care instructions, and commitment to maintaining a consistent routine to create a secure and comfortable environment for pets will ensure a stress-free experience for owners. Having seen them interact with many pups (including my own), I have no doubt they will be dedicated caregivers who combine their genuine passion for animals with a strong commitment to their well-being. Your furry friend will thrive under Darbie and Kendall's attentive and loving care.

About: I've grown up with animals my entire life and have always had a passion for animal care! I have fostered dogs of all sizes and training levels and have experience with reactive dogs. I've worked as a vet technician and have pet sat for dogs and cats for the past 6 years. I also have experience with basic reptile care and am open to any pets! I'm currently a senior at UGA, but have availability scattered throughout the day in between classes! My Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons are very open, and I'm available pretty much all day on Thursdays. I'm happy to help out on weekends as well! I'm happy to care for pets both in my home or in yours! I live near a network of trails/hiking paths that are very dog friendly and I love to take long walks on them! I don't have any other pets in my home and am able to be home a good amount of the day to be with your pet!

Callie is a very responsible and trustworthy individual who loves all animals, especially dogs. More importantly, dogs love her. My English cocker spends more time with her than me when she is around. Callie can be trusted, is punctual and is a delight to be around. I would definitely recommend her for this position and would envy the pup that she cares for.

Kate did a wonderful job caring for my dog Benny. I Benny needs some special care because he only has 3 legs and is a very anxious dog, but he trusted Kate! She was patient, responsible, and the perfect pet sitter for me. She has experience watching cats and other animals as well.

About: I have experience working with obese, deaf, young, old, high energy, working, and rescue dogs. I was raised with basically every pet under the sun, and I worked on a ranch in Jacksonville FL for years. On the ranch I was responsible for a pack of 4 purebred chocolate Dobermans, 1 small mutt, and a couple horses. Now after moving to Athens for UGA’s Vet Med program, I have 3 cats with my girlfriend and help my mom with her special needs Spaniel. I go to classes on the weekdays but Rover is my main source of income. This ensures that I can give your special little guy a girl as much time as they need. I will walk in and greet your pet however they prefer. Then I will either feed them, water them, or walk them to your specifications. Afterwards, with your permission, I can play with them if we have time or clean up any messes they might’ve made. Of COURSE I will send you pics of how much fun they’re having while I’m there!

About: I’ve had my own dog for 3 years and I absolutely love spending time with him. I take him for walks, give him baths, feed him, and play with him. I’m currently a full time student so I am available during the weekdays for walking and visiting, but am flexible to make some exceptions for the weekends as well. Personally at my home we have a fenced yard with plenty of space for our pets to play. So, I am well knowledged on how to deal with pets outdoors.

Madison is the best dog sitter/ dog best friend I could ask for! She has watched my two senior dogs as well as my energetic puppy and handled them all with enthusiasm. My senior border collie has a multitude of health problems including doggie dementia, but he was always happy to see Madison :) I would trust Madison with any dog, cat, bird, snake etc. and couldn’t recommend her enough.
