Pet Sitting Athens

About: I offer more than just pet sitting—I provide personalized, compassionate care for every stage of your pet’s life! As well as clear communication! It is key to great pet care! I prioritize staying in touch so I can get to know both you and your pet to the best of my ability. My goal is to make sure you and your pet feels completely safe, happy, and well! I’m currently working part time- so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out and play with your animals, Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I am available to pet sit any time, as well as on the weekends! :) Whether I’m caring for pets in your home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I maintain your pet’s routine to minimize stress—following feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions exactly. I also keep communication open with regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing.

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.

About: I've grown up with two dogs and took care of them through high school and on, training them, administering medication, and other basic needs. There aren't many things that phase me when it comes to dogs at this point! I prefer large dogs but have no issues taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages! I have also cat sat for friends and family and enjoy watching them! I am free most evenings in between working on homework! I enjoy being active and going on long walks. I also have no issues with staying in and chilling out with dogs, playing or cuddling them while reading a good book. I am free most weekends throughout the day! I do not have a yard or area for animals to roam freely; however, I have access to large areas of grass that they can run around leashed. I am a neat person, cleaning up after myself and any animals I am watching, so messes are not something that will show up.

About: I bring over 6 years of pet sitting experience, along with a year of hands-on service dog training. This background has given me strong skills in structure, positive reinforcement, and confidently working with dogs of all temperaments. I’m comfortable reinforcing training for puppies, providing mental stimulation for high-energy dogs, and offering patient, attentive care for seniors who may need a slower pace or extra support. Safety, consistency, and clear communication are always my priorities. In addition to training service dog pups, I’ve trained my own dogs using cues in different languages, strengthening my understanding of how dogs learn and respond to clear, consistent guidance. I don’t just “watch” pets — I actively engage with them. Whether it’s structured walks, playtime, or reinforcing good manners, I make sure your pet feels secure, stimulated, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I can accommodate weekday and weekend bookings and will communicate clearly about any scheduling changes in advance. Every pet deserves patience, consistency, and a safe space while their family is away. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to providing loving care while maintaining clear communication and a secure home environment.

“Mia is amazing!! She follows instructions and communicates so well so that I can feel assured that my dog is in the best care!”

About: I grew up with a dog and have since provided pet sitting services for neighbors and friends. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. I currently volunteer at the county dog shelter, where I work with dogs of all temperaments, including shy or nervous pets who need extra time to warm up to new people. Being very active myself, I’m also comfortable handling strong dogs who tend to pull during walks. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pups while you're away on trips or at work! I work a typical 9-to-5 schedule and primarily work from home, which allows me to take breaks and visit or walk your pets frequently throughout the day. I currently don't have any pets of my own, so your pet will receive my full attention while in my care. I am happy to meet before booking to see if I am the right fit for your pet!

“Caitlin is fantastic! My cat loved her visits, and she will definitely be my go-to sitter in the future. I loved getting regular photos and videos while I was away for a long trip. She was also great at communicating and providing quick updates whenever needed. Thank you, Caitlin!”

“Kristen took excellent care of my kitties and kept me well informed with updates and pictures every visit, so I felt confident enjoying my time away. I'm a new pet owner and this was my first time using a pet sitter and she did an excellent meet and greet, asked questions to make sure she knew how I did things, and guided me through the process professionally and kindly. Will definitely book again!”

About: “Dog” was my first word! I’ve had dogs since I was born, including HIGH ENERGY huskies. As a Physical Therapy student, I have interest in helping SPECIAL NEEDS dogs. My last husky had an arm injury and took meds, so I have experience! Open to learning injections and first aid as needed. Human CPR/first aid certified. I have experience with BIG dogs and puppies, dogs that pull, anxious doggies, and walking multiple dogs at the same time. Would be happy to help care for any injured or special needs dogs! I’m in graduate school, but have availability in the mornings and evenings daily, along with generally free weekends. I have a set schedule so know exactly what to expect week-to-week! I am especially interested in big, high energy, or special needs dogs. I will treat your doggies like they are my own! I have such a love for every living thing and want to help keep local pups happy and safe.

About: I have grown up around dogs and lived with them all my life. I come from a family that has both Chihuahuas and Great Pyrenees so I am used to dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments!

I am an undergraduate student and my classes and workload are flexible meaning I can adapt to your schedule! I can from early morning to late at night.

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.

About: Hi! I'm a college student and experienced pet sitter with a passion for caring for animals of all kinds. Before becoming a pet sitter, I worked in wildlife rehabilitation, where I gained hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals and learned how to recognize their individual needs and behaviors. I'm comfortable caring for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, small mammals, and other pets, and I'm happy to follow any special routines, medications, or care instructions to keep them happy and healthy. Whether you need someone to stop by for visits, stay overnight, or care for your home while you're away, you can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and respectful. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I'll treat them like they're my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered or scaly!) family members! As a student, I find that I have plenty of free time to visit your pets whenever needed! Athens is incredibly walkable (plus I drive) so getting around takes very little time at all and I can be there quick! Working in shelters and rehabilitation centers for various animals, I know that each pet needs an individual care experience. Some may need to be walked more frequently or less, some may not like to be around people, some may need medications at specific times, or some may need extra love. My goal is to make your pet and you comfortable with leaving them to me.
