Pet Sitting in Athens

“Great job as usual. Came early, at my request, to deal with my new kennel-escaping dog. Thankful she's so intuitive!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and grew up with both dogs and cats. My family has had dogs of all sizes, including three pit bulls and a mastiff so I’m very comfortable with larger breeds as well as smaller pets. Our family dogs and cats have ranged from young puppies to seniors, which has given me experience adjusting to different energy levels, routines, and care needs throughout a dog’s life. I’ve also cared for our pets on my own for week-long periods when family members were away, making sure they were happy, safe, and well cared for. More recently, I adopted my own cat named Muffin, who I’ve had for the past seven months. Being a pet owner myself has made me appreciate how important it is to find someone you trust, and I would care for your pets with the same attention and care I give my own. I work part-time in the evenings, which gives me a flexible schedule during the day. Most days I’m available after 11:00 AM for drop-in visits, walks, feedings, or spending quality time with your pets. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get the care and attention they need while you’re away. I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Every animal is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality and routine rather than treating every visit the same. I’ll make sure they get the care, attention, and consistency they’re used to, while also treating your home with respect and keeping you updated so you never have to wonder how things are going.

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.

“Maya was awesome with our cat! We got daily updates and videos of how he was doing and she even left us new treats and a toy at the end of the week. Will definitely ask Maya for help in the future if we need need someone to watch Lincoln again! Thank you Maya!!”

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.

“Cassidy is an amazing cat sitter. My two ladies can be a bit choosy whom they like - they warmed up immediately with her. They give her all paws up.”

“Stefania took great care of our cat and dog while we were away. Our dog is usually very shy, but by day 3, she was playing and wanting belly rubs, which Stefania took the time to give her. I'd highly recommend her.”

About: I have had a puppy from when I was 7-20. I have seen all the stages with my best friend and would love to help bring you comfort in knowing your best friend is in safe hands. I took care of neighbors, coworkers, and family's pets as well. I am a full-time college student looking for some money to help with finances. I am available most days and most hours as long as I'm not in class. I am always free! I do live in an apartment complex with one other roommate, but we are willing to have care here for your pet. You can provide anything you need for your pet, or I can provide it at my apartment! We have lots of spots to walk around. I live right on the edge of a park, so we can go play!

“Adrian was amazing with my reactive pup, Finn. He is very particular about who cares for him, so we did a meet and greet beforehand. Finn immediately took to Adrian, so I knew it was a good fit. He sent thorough updates and pictures with each drop-in visit. Based on the updates, I know Finn loved and trusted Adrian. I cannot recommend Adrian enough and will absolutely rebook with him.”

“Laura is amazing with our doggie! She gives her lots of love while we are out of town, and treats her as if she was her own dog. We will definitely keep scheduling with her. You will like her with your doggies too!”

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.

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: 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!

About: For awhile I have had dogs and cats all over me. Growing up I have been in charge of family pets occasionally just making sure they are loved and fed. I also have dog/cat sit a few times for my friends/neighbors while they are on vacation. I have also done a good job on following directions and taking care of issues. Right now I am in college at Ohio University, I definitely have time to watch any animals you have anytime before or after my classes and during the weekends! I have two black labs and two cats that I love endlessly, I play with them all the time making sure they are played with and fed well, as well as my family does too. One of my dogs has been through surgery for back legs after both tore ACL which causes to limp and with that, I know ways to help care for in a situation for any dogs.

“Lucian is a perfect 5/5! She was flexible when my schedule changed even with the holidays! Very easy to contact and quick to respond. She also gave great updates and was very responsible and respectful of the home. Would absolutely recommend her!”
