Pet Boarding Athens

About: Hi, I'm Alexa! I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have cared for many of my own, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs and personalities. Over the years, I’ve provided dependable pet sitting for friends, neighbors, and families in my hometown, earning their trust through consistent, attentive care. I treat every pet as if they were my own—prioritizing their comfort, safety, and happiness at all times. As a college student pursuing a degree in the medical field, I bring a heightened level of awareness, responsibility, and knowledge when it comes to overall care and well-being. I am detail-oriented, reliable, and committed to maintaining routines that keep pets feeling secure and stress-free. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I provide a calm, nurturing environment that pet owners can feel confident in. I ADORE ALL FUR BABIES! As a college student currently taking online courses, I have a very flexible and consistent daily routine that allows me to prioritize your pets care throughout the day. My schedule gives me the ability to be present for feedings, walks, playtime, and regular check-ins without feeling rushed. I don't have weekends marked as a guarantee, but I may be available and will always be open to working something out, so don't be afraid to reach out! 🩷 I care for pets like they’re my own and try to keep them as comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I stick to their usual routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and anything else they’re used to—so they don’t feel stressed while their owner is away. I also make sure to keep things clean and send updates with photos. If I’m caring for pets in my apartment, I make sure they have a safe, clean space and get plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I pay attention to each pet’s personality and what they need so they feel happy and relaxed.

“Stayed in constant contact and send photos throughout our boys stays.”

“Rudy absolutely loved staying with Avery at her place! She and her husband are so kind and it's obvious they love dogs and care for them as they would their own. Rudy loved going on walks and cuddling. I highly recommend Avery as a petsitter and I know Rudy would love to stay with her again!”

“Derotha is so sweet and caring. She's very communicative, warm, and calming. If I ever need someone to watch my pet again she'll be my first choice.”

Nicolas R.

“Had to leave my dog for a week, but was comfortable knowing he was in good hands! She sent me pics while I was away and even bathed him before I got back! Excellent! Will definitely use again!”

Tia N.

“Sibling was great. Our kitties had their own space and were well cared for. Even our skittish cat warmed up to Sunlong enough to come out for treats. Thank you!”

Ashli W.

“She was great with my dog. Will definitely be using Ann going forward!”

Lori L.

“Stacey did a wonderful job taking care of my Chorkie puppy Max! She was in constant communication and sent the cutest pics of Max each day. He looked to be having fun and feeling at home which was great as it was my first time leaving him with a sitter. I know that she could’ve handled any issues that came up, will definitely call her again next time I need a dog sitter!”

Kristen T.

“Gabriel was an excellent Dogsitter. He took wonderful care of our dog. Maverick was very relaxed and happy at drop off, you could tell he really liked Gabriel. He got a lot of long walks and runs, which is great for our high energy dog. He also got a lot of snuggles. We definitely plan to use Gabriel again when we come back next year!”

Heather M.

“Jill was wonderful she took great care of our baby Toby. She was very accommodating and was quick to respond and also gave us updates on how he was doing. I wound definitely book with her again in the future.”

Ann H.

“My cat, Tim, absolutely LOVES Caylei! She sends me photos and videos throughout his time with her, and it's always obvious how happy and cared for he is. He has special needs and she dies an excellent job of caring for those needs as well as loving him.”

Valorie M.

“Besides my own love and care, I don’t think that my dogs Lily and Teddy are anywhere better loved and cared for than at Angela’s. She keeps me updated with beautiful photos and little but valuable tidbits about their day. My babies just love Angela and her husband!”

Dorothe O.

“She was very sweet and knowledgeable about dogs. I received daily updates and pictures. I was afraid Blondie would like her so much she wouldn't want to come home..lol.”

Evan G.

“Addison was a wonderful sitter for an overnight with my dog. She took great care of him and I’d definitely use her again.”

Rich B.

“Beverly took amazing care of our fur babies! We even extended our trip & she was very accommodating! It’s so nice to know we didn’t have to worry them & knew they were being loved! Thank you so much!”

Lisa R.

“If I could give more than 5 stars I would!! Nikki and Tom were PHENOMENAL!! I, like others, was reluctant about finding someone to take care of my dog while on a holiday trip. Lilly has a little separation anxiety and the thought of boarding her at a vet was not settling well with me. A friend suggested Rover and seeing Nikki and Tom's reviews, I felt they would be a good fit. Boy was it a great choice. From the meet and greet, frequent updates, and pictures and videos of Lilly's day, they are nothing short of angels. They took such good care of Lilly, I was afraid she might not want to come back home. Nikki and Tom go above and beyond to take great care of the pets they keep, and it shows in everything they do. I would highly recommend them if you need of pet care. I will certainly be using them in the future.”

Claudia H.

“Alexis was amazing! She consistently updated me with pictures and was awesome with Hank. I would 100% recommend her to anyone in Athens who needs a daysitter!”

About: I have about 6 years of pet caretaking experience. Animals are special to me and I care deeply for them. I make sure to give all of my love to animals as if they were my own! I am currently home for the summer and out of school so I can be available to take care of your dog anytime of the week! Your dogs will be treated with as much love as if they were my own. Dogs are the most gentle things on Earth and deserve everything. I will give my full attention to them and make sure their every need is fulfilled.

About: Experienced. Compassionate. Dedicated to Your Dog. I’m a certified dog behaviorist with over 15 years of hands-on experience fostering, training, and caring for dogs of all backgrounds and needs. My experience includes basic to advanced training, puppies, special-needs dogs, working-line K9s, behavioral challenges, and so much more. I believe dogs thrive when they are given the right balance of structure, mental stimulation, physical activity, and comfort. During their stay, I focus on keeping each dog active, engaged, and happy while also creating a safe and comfortable environment where they can truly relax. My goal is simple: for every dog to return home happier, more confident, and better equipped than when they arrived. I treat every dog as an individual and tailor their care and training to their unique personality, needs, and goals. Because your dog deserves more than just a place to stay — they deserve an experience that helps them thrive. I’m a full-time dog trainer, which means I spend the majority of my time at home while caring for your pets. Your dog will receive hands-on attention, structure, and supervision throughout their stay. Every dog will have a minimum of three outings each day, including potty breaks, playtime, walks, and even some time soaking up the sun if that’s what they enjoy. I believe dogs should have the opportunity to stay active while also having time to relax and feel comfortable in their environment. I start by giving each dog individual one-on-one time so I can learn their personality, comfort level, and needs. Depending on your dog’s temperament and your preferences, they may also be paired with other dogs who are a good match. Group interaction is always based on the owner’s request and what is appropriate for each dog. Interested in park walks or additional outings during your dog’s stay? Please request this in advance. Park outings depend on the season, weather conditions, and whether the activity is appropriate for your individual dog. All outdoor activities are fully supervised. Your dog will also have a consistent daily routine, including scheduled meal times, potty breaks, activity, rest, and plenty of personal attention. For their protection and peace of mind, dogs are crated in their own individual, secure spaces during nighttime and any extended periods when they cannot be directly supervised. This helps prevent accidents, unwanted interactions, and unnecessary stress while maintaining a safe environment for every dog in my care. I also have interior security cameras throughout my home to provide an additional layer of supervision and security while your dog is staying with me.
