House Sitting in Athens

“I trust Sophia 100% with our dog, Covey. She is so incredibly patient and easy-going. Any high stress dog or situation will be met with calm, confidence and most of all love. Our dog loves her to pieces since he was a pup. She has fostered dogs before and even breeds that most people wouldn't take. We are grateful for to Sophia for her love for all creatures great and small. Any request is taken care of and your pet will be glad you picked her!”

“Stephen is a cat whisperer! Our kitties loved him during his week long stay at our house. He left our home in immaculate condition. Stephen is a GEM.”

“Grace took excellent care of our 13 year old Rolz. She handled giving 4 plus meds daily perfectly. Our pup fell in love with Grace and Grace returned the love by treating our gal so special! Grace was house sitting our Rolz and kept our girl from suffering major anxiety in our absence. Plus she kept our home in order too. Really can’t say enough good about Grace. We already want her to return for a stay!!”

“Our family had the privilege of having sweet Gabrielle tend to and love our dogs. Her compassion and loving spirit were always evident. She has personality galore and a genuine love of people and animals. We will miss her tremendously and hope she finds others to share her heart with. We highly recommend her. By the way, Isla the bernedoodle and Evie the Boston terrier are so forlorn that she has moved away. Lynne and Bob Killian”

“Ashley is wonderful! She kept me informed with photos and updates. It’s great to know that my fur baby is taken care of while I’m away. Thank you!!!”

About: I have formal experience at an animal rescue in Syracuse, NY where I performed the following duties: Cleaning kennel runs Cleaning crates Cleaning litterboxes Administering medication Feeding (including dietary restrictions) Walking and exercising dogs Washing and grooming dogs I have also walked dogs in the DC metro area prior to moving to Athens and walk my dog, Otis, daily. I am an avid runner and will give your dog a good walk at their preferred pace, whatever that happens to be! I would love to meet you and your dog(s) and/or cat(s) - thanks for considering me to care for your pets! I am a PhD student at UGA with a pretty flexible schedule, which means I can care for your pets between classes or generally anytime other than the early afternoon on weekdays I will treat your pet just as I treat my own (or follow whatever specific care instructions you may have) - this includes with patience, kindness and plenty of affection

About: I have had dogs for my entire life. I personally trained my parents’ golden retriever puppy and just fostered a dog from the Athen’s Area Humane Society when he was in recovery. I am here to lend you a helping hand, give your furry friends all the attention they deserve, and cure their loneliness! I can help with following your training routine if you’d like! I am a UGA student so I do have a few classes that I must attend but I have lots of free time. I’m typically not in class for more than 2 hours a day. I have experience with most situations involving dogs. I’m willing to do whatever your baby needs in order to be happy and comfortable. (I also have experience giving medication to dogs)

“Jane was amazing, took such great care of Dali and sent frequent updates. She also left the house the way she found it! I 100% recommend Jane and will book with her again if she’s available.”

“Chrystal does an outstanding job taking care of my 14 yr old golden .. she is prompt and keeps me informed on all the activities of the day -- will be asking her to take care of if my pup again for sure”

“Super friendly and communicative! Alyse took great care of my golden while house sitting and provided helpful regular updates. Would definitely book again :)”

“Annie was great, dependable, and the Corgis loved her. Everything was done as our instructions indicated and communication was excellent. We will use Annie again for future dog and house sitting needs.”

“Came home to happy boys. Ashlyn did a great job. Happy to use her services again.”

“Starr was incredible. This was our first time leaving our dog with anyone other than family and we were pretty nervous about it! Not to mention, our dog was still recovering from a surgery from a couple weeks prior and still needed medications/extra care. We met with Starr a few days before and felt much more comfortable! Starr went above and beyond with caring for our fur baby. Gave her medications, updated us throughout the day, followed our parameters, and left our house very clean. 10/10 Thank you, Starr!”

“Sage takes wonderful care of all animals. I have witnessed her pamper cats and dogs and they all seem to sense her kindness. She is dependable and very punctual. She is also great at administering medication‘s. I highly recommend Sage to take care of anyone’s precious pet family members.”

“My dogs were calm and happy when I came home. They were left exactly as requested. The house was clean and well kept! We also had a dog who needed medication last minute- she hopped up to the challenge no problem! We would happily use Morgan again!”

“It was our first time using Rover and Nicole was so great for us! She took care of our three animals for the day and just let us get out of the house for a bit. She sent us small little updates during the day and took an amazing photo of our puppy! Overall, I would highly recommend Nicole for puppy care and house sitting. She made the whole process so easy!”

“Ella Grace has house and pet sat for us multiple times over the last few years. Her love for our and others’ pets is evident. Ella Grace is very mature, responsible, dependable, and pleasant to work with.”

“Kate is top notch the best! I am a stereotype millennial dog mom who spoils her fur baby, and Kate went above and beyond to treat and care for Bentley as I do. She is amazing at being attentive not only to your pet but to other’s pets too. I rebooked with her within days because she took such amazing care of my dog that I couldn’t go with anyone else. Bentley was so happy when I came back from my trip and completely stress free which is what every pet parent wants. Kate communicates very well and so I never worried about my fur baby. I will continue to use Kate!”

“Betsy is a hard working grad student @ UGA... she is a great communicator and would be reliable if she commits to caring for your pet. She was raised with a house with 3 dogs (2 large breed and one small breed) and would be a fun-loving person for your baby to spend some time with!”

“Virginia was a great sitter for our dogs! She was prompt, had great communication, and cared for our dogs as if they were her own! Highly recommend for any pet services needed!”
