Doggy Day Care in Athens

“Wow, Nikki and Tim are amazing ? ! All of the pictures and the genuine attention and sense of fun Nikki offers warmed our hearts! I swear our little pup was sad to leave ?. We feel so lucky so have discovered this gem of a sometime-home for our buddy!”

“Danielle was great! I felt very comfortable leaving Nico Jose with her. He was very happy to meet her and he seemed to have had a good time while is Danielles custody.”

“Xionella did a great job caring for our 2 dogs during the day while my wife was out of town. Our dogs were walked multiple times a day and got along perfectly with Xionella’s 2 dogs. We were sent pictures throughout the day and notified of anything of concern. I would highly recommend Xionella and will use her in the future.”

“Annette was great! Chevie, who’s normally wary of other dogs, immediately started playing with her dog and settled in well! I appreciated all the outdoor/dog park time Chevie got. She was tired and relaxed when we got home!”

“Thor had an AMAZING time, he is all worn out and ready for an early bed tonight! We are so excited to have you as our weekly sitter!”

About: I have been pet sitting for as long as I can remember and have several years (roughly 6) of veterinary experience. I am a DVM/PhD student at UGA and have experience handling all types of dogs including those with special requirements. I can easily medicate, am happy to take them for walks/runs, and give endless cuddles! I am currently in grad school so my schedule is pretty variable. I always come home during lunch to walk my dog and let him stretch his legs from being in the kennel (30mins-1hr). Walks before and after school with longer walks in the evening. I live an apartment complex with a cat and dog (Dalmatian). There is no yard but I walk Riley, my dal, at least three times daily. I have a spare room that can easily fit a crate.

“Absolutely amazing! My dog is so clingy with me, but she was so excited to see Angela on the second day ?. My giant mastiff can be a handful, but Angela is a confident and knowledgeable 'dog person' so Penny's exuberance didn't phase her. I loved that Angela took Penny to a dog park each day too. I also REALLY appreciated the clear and consistent communication; Angela was quick to respond to any texts I sent and gave me updates (with the most adorable pics!) throughout the day. My dog was healthy, happy, and tired each time I picked her up from Angela-- who could ask for more?”

About: I have taken care of 3 dogs for multiple nights in a row various times. I love hanging out with all of them and it’s fun to watch them play and get along. I am usually taking care of my Great Pyrenees/Australian Shepard. He’s the most friendly dog I’ve ever had. I also take care of golden doodles and mini Australian Shepard. I love all dogs!!! I am an Econ student at UGA and I am only taking 1 class this semester. I have lots of time on my hands and would love to fill my schedule with more friends to take care of! Love being outdoors. I have an awesome home in a fenced in complex. I have 2 bedrooms for pets that prefer privacy, and I welcome all animals to explore the whole house wherever they please. We will constantly go on walks and hang out. I treat every animal with care as if they were my own dog. Will follow your schedule however you design.

“I have been friends with Kyle for several years, and one of the first things I noticed about him was how much he cares for dogs and how well he works with them. I have gone on several hiking trips and walks with Kyle and his dogs and, in addition to how well trained his dogs were, I was surprised by how well he was able to manage his dogs along with mine and those belonging to other members of our group. I think Kyle would make a great dog walker and dog sitter and there is no one else I would trust more to look after my own dog.”

“Zoe is a caring and compassionate animal lover. She has the sensitivity and stamina to make an excellent pet caregiver. She is reliable, patient and conscientious and is tuned into animals' emotions and needs.”

“I use Shelby on several occasions to take care of Willow my toy yorkie who is 4 1/2 months old and weighs 3.2 pounds. Shelby treats her as if she was her own, she walks her plays with her and even has let her spend the night and sleep in the bed with her. She makes sure she gets all the attention Willow needs and much more. She has also watched my other dogs that I have had in the past that have crossed over the rainbow. And has been there for me for moral support. I would trust Shelby with my children and my animals no questions asked.”

“Raegan has been a caregiver and animal lover her entire life. During her lifetime, we have had a zoo at our home from all the pets she has lovingly taken in. She prays for a dog and one shows up the next day. She dreams of a cat and, guess what, one shows up a few days later out of nowhere. She loves animals and they love her. She is a pre-vet student and is very responsible and reliable. I would trust her to care for my pets over anyone else I know.”

“Kaylee is truly the most passionate person about animals. You’ll never find someone more willing to go the extra mile for your pet. Kaylee has many years experience with animals dating back to her 5th birthday first pet and including but not limiting to veterinary experience with exotic animals, dogs, cats, aquatic animals, and small animals (guinea pigs, rabbits, etc.). She has extensive connections in the veterinary field, having worked with numerous vet offices for 5 years, if my pet were to have an emergency, Kaylee is exactly the person I would want my pet with. If you choose to trust Kaylee with your pet, you’re choosing a kind-hearted, caring, intelligent, trustworthy, and animal loving person to care for your pet. If you choose Kaylee, you’re choosing love for your animal.”

“Eliot is an excellent dog sitter. He has watched my dog several times and knows what he’s doing. Not to mention he loves animals. Highly recommend.”

“The best testimonial I can give to Bennett is the story of Claire. Claire was an elderly dog that Bennett had willingly agreed to watch for a week. What he didn't know was that, due to age, Claire's bowel control had begun to decline. He spent the week cleaning floors, but he never left any evidence of a mess and he continued to care for Claire kindly for the duration of their time together. He showed up undaunted and, despite the challenge, cared for Claire each day. He's responsible, a dedicated worker, and a remarkably kind person. I'd trust him watch my dog, my house, and, when I have them, my kids too.”

About: I am originally from England and currently a student here in Athens! My family have always been animal loves and I was fortunate enough to have a variety of animals growing up from dogs, cats, birds and gerbils! I currently have two cats and regularly dog sit and walk for my father-in-law who has a German Shepherd mix and an American bulldog mix! My partner is also animal crazy and was brought up basically on a farm with more animals then could ever be imagined from dogs to deers to goats. I have also helped out at dog sanctuaries in Greece and enjoy just being around animals. If you have any questions please feel free to message! I've recently just moved to the US so I have plenty of free time while I settle and I don't think there is any better way to settle in than with some animals! I have two dog-friendly indoor cats that mind their own business. I have a great dog park near my home I enjoy going on long walks and hikes too if your dog enjoys that! I have a crate if that is required for your pet

“Claudine is an exceptional pet companion. She often takes our dogs on long walks and spends quality time with them. She is always prompt and is great. She is extremely trustworthy and reliable, and we often use her for overnight stays.”

“Emily is so sweet, very accommodating, had great communication, and was so great with our dog. Our dog came home from daycare happy and calm every day. We’re so grateful to have found her while visiting the area.”

“I had good interactions with Gabby setting up our dog’s visit. My son dropped off Loki and said Gabby was great with my granddog. He also said she was really nice and very good dogs. So we highly recommend Abby.”

“Lia is an incredibly responsible and caring person. She has a wonderful way with all animals. She has cared for multiple foster dogs and has found them loving adoptive homes. She is relied upon by many neighbors and local people in the community as a responsive dog walker and dog sitter. She thoroughly enjoys spending time with dogs whether it’s at the dog park or at your home. I highly recommend Lia - she’s wonderful!”
