House Sitting in Athens

“Caitlin was amazing! She provided a ton of updates and pictures. My dog adored her! My dog can be a lot and she never complained about him! I felt very comfortable leaving my dog alone for the first time with her for an extended period of time.”

“Jacob did an amazing job with our two dogs and home. He came out and met them the night before on short notice. He was a lifesaver and we will be calling him again! Our dogs can be choosy and they hit it off with Jacob right away. Great Experience!”

“Maya was fantastic. She communicated very consistently, was on time, and kept our four dogs healthy and safe. We will definitely schedule her again.”

Jeff M.

“What a wonderful experience we had with Nicole and Reva. I think Coleman enjoyed having a sleepover with his new friends. Nicole has the most calm disposition and Coleman took to her right away. She was flexible and so easy to work with. We are trying to come up with ideas for more nights away so they can come back!”

“Timothy was awesome with my sweet boy Dozer! He did everything as instructed including medication administration and followed his special diet. We will be booking with Timothy again in the near future. He even sent photos!”

About: Iv had dogs for the last 12 years and have been pet sitting for 5. I have experience with special needs dogs, dogs between 6-75 pounds, and puppy’s. I also have completed a 3 week dog intensive course on their behavior and training. Im currently off for the summer so I have lots of availability. I take courses online so I can stay with your pets for most of the day. I have taken a course on dog behavior and training so I’ll always know how to read you dogs body language. I don’t try and force them to like me. I follow all directions given to me.

“Stefania was great. She watched Theo for a week. We live out in the country and it was when there was a really, really bad snowstorm and she was able to make it work. She even came back an extra time on the last day because I was running later than I thought I was going to.”

About: I’ve always loved animals, and after moving away I find myself missing them greatly. I would love to look after your pet, of any shape or size! I’ve cared for both young and senior cats and dogs and I have my own 11 year old cat at home. Having a lot of pets is A-OK as well as I’ve cared for up to nine dogs and four cats at once. Big or small, I’ll love them all! There’s no pet that’s too rambunctious or high maintenance for me to watch. I hope I get to meet your pet soon! I work as a Door Dasher, so I choose my schedule! I am available whenever you need me, and I rarely leave town. I can wake up early, show up midday, or come over late, whatever works best for you and your pet! I cannot book past June 1st, as I’m moving to Colorado. I will stick to your instructions and guidance on how to care for your pet to a tee. No one knows better than the pet parent obviously! I will stay mindful at all times of all boundaries, both yours and your pets. I will work hard to slowly build a trust between myself and your pet, to help relieve any anxieties due to separation. I hope to help make your travels worry free!

“Elaina took such great care of our dog while we were away, making sure to send plenty of photos & updates! Will definitely be booking again :)”

Maria G.

“Laura helped us out last minute and took such good care of our little Oliver! She even stayed some extra time when we made an error with our booking. We will definitely book her again in the future!”

“Kassidy was great - will definitely use her again.”

About: Caring for pets has been a lifelong passion of mine. As a teenager I took responsibility for my own cats, dog, and fish and became comfortable working with larger animals spending time with a friend's pit bull. When I pursed further education I was put in charge of raising animals for Historic Robbin's Crossing and learned about animal care and rights. Since then I have gained experience taking care of elderly pets and doing daily check in's for people in the Athens community. I am currently working a night shift position, but am happy to try and schedule to your needs. I am available seven days a week, especially Sunday, and with some heads up am always happy to come by to check in and go for walks. I am always happy to report in on how pets are doing and am comfortable in managing medication for animals. I do my best to be as accommodating as possible and meet pets where there needs are.

“Max was amazing!!! They came before their sitting to meet the pets, stayed with our 2 dogs and cats and provided updates throughout the stay. We were well assured our babies were cared for so we could thoroughly enjoy our vacation! Max even water my plants and scooped the litter box while we were gone! Above and beyond will def be our go to in the future!”

“Shelby was awesome for our dog Dewey. She kept us constantly informed and asked questions whenever she was concerned about him or needed clarification. We'll definitely be using her again and would recommend her to a friend!”

David V.

“Moki was well and lovingly cared for in my home. Maryrose kept me updated daily with pictures of their daily trail runs and walks. Maryrose’s has a special connection with animals that put Moki at ease right away. I will continue the trail runs as Moki is more energized and feeling like a pup again! I would highly recommend her.”

“Schuyler was great with our girl 🐶 She was trustworthy and met every request. We had a worry-free vacation because we knew our fur baby was in good hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her back again.”

About: I grew up on a farm in Appalachia, where I tended to sheep, chickens, rabbits, ducks, cats, and dogs. I’ve also pet-sat for neighbors’ cats, dogs, and horses; last summer I travelled throughout Ohio petsitting for various families. I’ve also pet-sat for a handful of alumna from Wellesley College, my alma mater — if you’d like references, I can absolutely provide them! I’m a grad student and adjunct professor with a flexible schedule; I’m free most afternoons/evenings and am happy to tailor my schedule to best suit the needs of my clients. I make sure to be attentive to all my clients’ cats/dogs and carefully read over all feeding + care instructions as soon as I receive them. I’m communicative with my clients, and intentional about ensuring their pets remain happy and healthy. I keep my clients’ home clean and in good order, and I make sure to spend lots of quality time with their pet(s) so he/she/they don’t become lonely! 🐾

About: Student Affairs professional for OHIO and love all furry animals. I had an amazing Norwegian Elkhound Mix and 2 cats. Now I have 9 month lab mix and 1 cat. Both very friendly and good with everyone. I'm very patient, optimistic, and kind. I have experience with pups & senior dogs. I'm comfortable administering medication, including injections and promise to love your pet unconditionally while they are in my care. Depending on the needs of your pets they'll enjoy at least one walk a day, potentially a hike, and get plenty of attention throughout their stay with me. Before rescuing my current dog, I trained two Great Pyrenees from 6 months to 3 years for a friend. I'm comfortable with all dogs and cats and hope I can help provide care for you soon! During the school year I work from home 2 days a weeks and in the summer 3 days! This gives me plenty of flexibility to check on your pets as needed. Additionally, I have the flexibility to check during my lunch break if needed when I'm in the office. I have a fenced in backyard and will gate off sections of our home until we know the dog is comfortable in our home and with our dog & cat. We block off the stairs to keep them on the ground floor with us.

“She did a great job. My pets loved her and was super happy when I got home. Thanks so much.”

About: I have been an avid animal lover and caretaker for all of my life. I am the friend everybody calls when they need someone they trust to ensure their pets are properly cared for. Animals are truly my passion and I cannot wait to meet your pets! I am currently working part-time and furthering my education so I have plenty of time in my week to help you with all of your pet care needs. Every pet owner has different expectations for the care of their furry friends. I am happy to work with you to decide on a gameplan that puts both you and your pets at ease.
