Pet Boarding Athens

“After reading previous reviews and meeting Virginia, we knew this would be the perfect sitter for our senior dog. Virginia was very accommodating to Layla's needs. We will definitely be contacting her for future stays!”

“Kirsy is very nice and communicative. Her house is warm and welcoming. Leaving your fur baby with a stranger is extremely stressful. Kirsy eased our stress with multiple pictures/video updates daily. She is an amazing sitter and I highly recommend her services.”

“This was my frost time using Rover and I was really nervous leaving my puppy. Donna was the best she took great care off out baby, she even sent us pictures during his stay. I highly recommend Donna if you want the best for your fur baby ?”

“Nancy was fantastic. She has a wonderful personality and property for taking care of our pups. She was very attentive and sent cute photos while we were out of town dealing with a death in the family. Knowing they were with someone that cared was a load off our minds, but the photos were special smiles for us on such a hard weekend. Thank you Nancy.”

“Joanna & Sebastian took great care of Rex! I got lots of pictures and communication was great. I got Rex back nice and healthy!”

About: Hi! My name is Iyah, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. While I am new to Rover, I'm not new to caring for fur-babies!! I have loved animals of all kinds since I arrived on this earth! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels through previous and current professional work experience at a dog and cat care/boarding business, along with caring for pets in my personal life as well. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic grooming care, administering medications when needed, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also understand that every dog is different, so I always try to pay attention to their personality, routines, boundaries, body language and needs. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including anxious pets. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I always aim to provide reliable care, consistent communication, and lots of updates/photos for peace of mind. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed, I’ll make sure they receive patience, attention, love and genuine care. Your baby will be cared for and loved on as if they were my own. For me to be even more successful in what I do, I love all my clients to give me as much details about their babies as possible, I'm here to accommodate, support and make you and your pet-parent life as comfortable as possible. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! 🐾 ⚠️DISCLAIMER⚠️ 🐾 Meet My Pet-Care Partner! For transparency and safety, I want all pet parents to know that my fiancé, Robert, may accompany me for certain bookings—particularly overnight house-sitting stays or bookings farther away from home. Robert and I both work professionally with animals full-time and have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with different personalities, routines, and needs. We genuinely love what we do, and your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first. 🐶🐱💕 For house-sitting bookings, I may request that Robert accompany me, as I am a young woman staying overnight in an unfamiliar home and area. I completely understand that this is your home, so this will always be discussed with you beforehand—there will never be an unexpected additional guest in your home. You’re also more than welcome to meet both of us during our Meet & Greet so you can feel completely comfortable with who will be caring for your pets and staying in your home. My goal is for everyone to feel safe and comfortable—your pets, you, and us! 🐾🤍 I work two jobs, but my schedules aren't consistent. I'm open to taking care of your babies whenever I am off and whenever I do have free time. I would prefer coming to your home to care for your babies as I do still stay with family who are not as dog crazy and loving as me.

“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our baby. Our flight was cancelled and the rescheduled flight delayed us coming home by 2 days and your flexibility eased our minds because we knew he was ok. We will absolutely give a referral to anyone and will use you again to watch our baby.”

“Victor is a great sitter. He is always so responsive, professional and friendly. He took great care of our pup Koa. Koa came home happy, clean and healthy. I will definitely recommend Victor as a sitter, he has a big yard, safe community, and plenty of space for the dogs to play. His dogs are super friendly and welcoming to Koa. He sent updates and videos of Koa, which I really appreciated.”

“I was a bit nervous at first since it was my first time using rover, but the meet and greet really calmed my nerves. Taylor is pretty awesome and down to earth and did an amazing job with Gauge. Definitely going to be the first person I use next time!”

About: Me and my fiance love animals and have 5 dogs and 1 cat of our own. We have 20 years of experience caring for all types of dogs from small to large and many different breeds as well as cats. We both have experience administering medicine and allergy shots if needed. We also have experience with dogs not potty trained. References can be provided upon request. I work full time but am blessed to have a flexible schedule and my fiance Bryan is home full time so we are able to accommodate many schedules including same day services. We have a fenced in backyard as well as a room that is dedicated to overnight guests so they have their own safe space to decompress. Our yard is mowed and kept clean of debris.

“Wonderful experience, she kept me updated every morning & evening. Took care of even small things regarding my baby Simba. Will surely get back to her in future.”

About: With over 13 years of experience, I provide a safe, adaptive, and nurturing environment for pets of all ages and energy levels. For senior, shy, and low-energy pets, I offer gentle, slower-paced routines. For puppies and high-energy pets, I provide the engagement and play they need to stay happy. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take pride in adapting to their specific needs. Whether they need long nature walks, cuddles, or simply some alone time, they will receive exactly that. To ensure your complete peace of mind while away, I will also provide frequent photo and video updates! As a university student with in-person classes only twice a week, I have a highly flexible schedule. I'm available almost any day of the week for boarding and dog/cat sitting. While my weekly schedule changes based on my studies and schoolwork, any pet care can be placed between them all. If there is a day or time you need me to be available that is not on my availability, I am always happy to negotiate! In my home, I adapt the pets' schedule to the way my home is. I have plenty of roaming space inside, but also outside for pets (leashed) that enjoy being outside and exploring. If your dog is crate-trained and needs to be in theirs, I can easily crate them. I also have 4 friendly cats that can keep your pet company, but if your pet does not like other animals, I also have the layout to keep them safely separated. In my client's home, I simply follow the schedule and rules they have for their pets. If you still feel unsure or your pet needs specific accommodation, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I would like your pet to experience only the highest quality stay/care!

About: I give elite belly rubs, provide emotional support during thunderstorms, and will absolutely hype your dog up like they just won an Olympic medal for sitting on command. Walks become adventures, naps become supervised cuddle sessions, and your pup will receive enough love, attention, and goofy conversation to forget you were ever gone (sorry in advance). I’m reliable, patient, and very tuned in to each dog’s personality — whether they’re a zoomie-powered chaos gremlin or a tiny old soul who just wants snacks and soft blankets. I also have a kid-free, smoke-free home, so your pup gets a calm, clean, low-stress environment with lots of attention and space to relax. Expect photo updates, happy tail wags, and a dog that’s probably a little disappointed when you come home because we became best friends. Pet care fits perfectly into my stay-at-home routine because I’m home all day, which means your pet gets plenty of attention, supervision, cuddles, potty breaks, and companionship instead of being left alone for long hours. I genuinely enjoy having animals around while I go about my day — playtime, relaxing with a cat curled up nearby, or taking dogs on regular walks and outdoor sniff adventures. Since I have a calm, kid-free, smoke-free home, pets settle in easily and get a low-stress environment where they can feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m happy to stick to your pet’s normal schedule and routines so they feel right at home while you’re away. I care for every pet like they’re part of the family — making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and all their little quirks and preferences. Dogs get plenty of potty breaks, exercise, affection, supervised play, and cozy downtime, while cats get a calm environment, clean litter boxes, enrichment, attention on their terms, and lots of cozy nap spots. I’m very patient and attentive, so whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, anxious, or extra spoiled, I adjust my care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. Because I have a kid-free, smoke-free home and spend most of my time at home, pets receive lots of companionship, supervision, and one-on-one attention throughout the day. I also love sending photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve pretty much always had a dog by my side! I’ve had four dogs throughout my life, and they’ve ranged from my little Cavachon all the way up to a Boerboel, Great Dane, and now my Cane Corso puppy, so I’m definitely not afraid of the big babies! 🐾 My Cavachon was with me for most of my life, and I had the privilege of caring for him from his energetic puppy years all the way through his senior years. That experience taught me so much about how a dog’s needs change as they get older. I’m just as comfortable keeping up with a puppy who wants to get into absolutely everything as I am slowing things down for a senior who needs a little more patience, gentleness, and extra love. I’ve also been involved in training all of my dogs, so I have experience with puppy training, basic commands, potty training, leash manners, boundaries, socialization, and creating consistent routines. Having Boerboels, Great Danes, and now a Cane Corso has also made me very comfortable with large and giant breeds. I know they may look intimidating to some people, but I’ve always had a huge soft spot for the gentle giants! I think what really sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual. Some want to play nonstop, some want to explore every smell on a walk, some think they’re 100-pound lap dogs, and others just want someone nearby to keep them company. I’m happy to meet them wherever they are. I know how much I love and worry about my own pets, so I completely understand wanting someone you can trust with yours. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own, give them plenty of attention and affection, follow the routines you’ve established, and of course send you lots of pictures and updates along the way! ❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I have flexibility to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care throughout the week. I’m a university student, so while I do have classes and other responsibilities, my schedule allows me to plan pet care around them and dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I’m caring for as well as my own. I’m available for morning and evening walks, drop-ins throughout the day depending on my class schedule, and weekend care. I’m also happy to coordinate with pet parents ahead of time to make sure I can maintain their pet’s normal feeding, walking, potty, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. When I accept a booking, I make sure I have the time to provide reliable, attentive care rather than simply fitting a pet into a busy day. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for someone’s pet. As a puppy owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care and how important the little details of their routine can be. I treat every pet I care for with the same patience, attention, and affection I would want someone to give my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, boundaries, and any special instructions their owner provides. I’m careful about securing doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses, staying aware of our surroundings during walks, and making sure pets are comfortable and properly supervised. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both their pet and their space. I follow feeding, walking, potty, medication, and bedtime instructions carefully and do my best to maintain the routine their pet already knows and feels comfortable with. I also believe communication is a big part of building trust. I’m happy to send regular updates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention.

About: Hi! I’m Teela, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I’ve had 8 pets throughout my life and currently have 3 spoiled fur babies of my own who are basically furry little toddlers at this point. 🐾 I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means playtime, walks, cuddle sessions, belly rubs, or just keeping them company so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My dogs also love meeting and hanging out with new furry friends, so your pup will always have a welcoming environment full of love and attention. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, because I’m the same way with mine. I’ll care for your babies like they’re my own and make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and happy to work with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. Whether your dog is super playful, shy, clingy, energetic, or just wants someone to vibe on the couch with them while watching TV, I’m your girl! Since I currently work from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long hours. Your pet will have someone around consistently to help them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My flexible schedule also allows me to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, feeding schedules, medications, play sessions, or just extra companionship for pets who don’t like being alone. I genuinely enjoy having animals around the house, so caring for them naturally fits into my daily routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort are extremely important to me! My home is set up to create a secure, pet-friendly environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel right at home. We have a safety gate sectioned off near the front door for added protection and peace of mind, especially for curious pups who like to explore. We also have a fully fenced-in backyard with plenty of space to run, play, sniff around, and have a full-on paw-ty with my friendly dog crew. 🐾 Whether your pet loves zoomies, sunbathing, or just lounging outside for fresh air, they’ll have a safe and fun space to enjoy throughout their stay.

About: I love animals. Its is our responsibility to care for them. I always make sure they are healthy and get outside plenty and live full happy lives! I know and understand that sometimes we don't have enough time for our loved ones. It will make me very happy to make sure that every animal is still able to remain a part of the family and still have a full happy life while their owners are working or traveling and doing what they need to do! Sadly, we cant always bring our animals with us wherever we go and make sure that they are not left lonely or without care for an unhealthy amount of time. I am happy to be your solution and I very much enjoy caring for animals. My schedule is totally wide open! Unfortunately, I was Hospitalized for some health problems last year. So I have plenty of time while I am recovering my strength, I chose to fill my time helping busy families that want to stay together and don't always have the time for care for our loved ones. I love animals so I figured I would make good use of my time! I am very nice to animals. I treat them like royalty and respect them I will make sure that they dont need for anything and I will Keep them entertained! You can definitely trust me with your animals I have nothing but love!
