Top rated Athens doggy day care sitters

“Tom, Ember, and pack were great! My fiancé and I were looking for a sitter that also had other dogs but not as many as an over packed storefront daycare. We were so happy to find Tom and Ember so that Callie could spend her day at a safe home having fun with at least one other dog. We did a meet and greet and booked the very next day because it was just such a good fit for Callie. Will be using regularly/weekly for the foreseeable future! Thanks Tom and Ember!”


“Briana made me feel so at ease leaving Moose, even on short notice. He was clearly relaxed, happy, and safe in her care. The thoughtful updates and outstanding photos meant the world. We’re so grateful—and will absolutely book again!”


“Hope took on my last minute daycare booking for my greyhound Arlo, and she was absolutely amazing. She is clearly very good with dogs where Arlo is immediately at ease and settled down quickly. Would highly recommend and book again when I’m in the area!”


About: I have had dogs for all of my life. Through the years I have had a Great Dane, a Doberman, and several mixed-breed dogs. I understand the unique needs of different breeds and am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I work from home, managing multiple online jobs. This allows me to be flexible and available throughout the day to give your pet attention, exercise, and any care they need, ensuring they feel comfortable and well-cared for while you're away. I live in a somewhat secluded area, which makes it easy to take dogs outside for walks or playtime, either on-leash or off-leash, depending on their comfort level and training. My home has plenty of space for dogs to play indoors, so they can stay active and entertained no matter the weather. I prioritize a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for pets, both inside and outside.

“Samantha was wonderful! She was very responsive ahead of time with planning the logistics and sent multiple photos and updates during our pup’s day with her. I felt very comfortable knowing Millie was in good hands and would definitely book with her again.”


“Hayley had Féirin for the day, and after that Féirin seemed happy, healthy, and tired. She fell asleep in the car on the way home. What else can you ask for?”


About: My lifelong aspiration has been to work with animals, a passion that blossomed during my childhood on a farm where I encountered a variety of animals. This rich experience has shaped my deep love for all creatures. Over the years, I've cared for a range of pets, from kittens to senior dogs! I have experience managing reactive dogs, having learned a great deal from working with one of my own and collaborating with a professional trainer. I'm eager to lend a hand with your pets whenever you need assistance, whether it's through drop-in visits or walks. I firmly believe that animals are part of the family and deserve the utmost love and attention. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved companions! I work at a nearby Urgent Care three days a week (Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays) and I'm eager to spend my days off enjoying some cuddles, playtime and exercises with your fur babies!! I want your fur babies to feel comfortable with me being in their home and in their spaces- I like to take things slow and see how your animal interacts with me and go from there. I want this to be a pawsitive experience for everyone!

I provide a safe, nurturing environment for pets both in my home and yours. In my home, pets are treated as part of the family—enjoying cozy spaces, supervised playtime, and daily routines that include walks, meals, and lots of affection.

“Letícia took great care of Juni and was very thoughtful about making sure Juni was comfortable. Letícia is very responsible and caring and capable. I will definitely be using Letícia again! Do not hesitate to book!”


“Mike and Laura cared for my pup like she was their own. My dog is a little anxious and overly excitable but Mike took that all in his stride. He sent photos throughout the day and I could quickly see she felt right at home. She had a long walk and lots of playtime with her favorite game of frisbee. The night before we had a big snow storm and Mike was excellent at keeping me up to date on the road conditions. I will be happy to go back another time.”


“Jaimi took great care of our dog while we were skiing. She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and our pup came back happy and well cared for. She was fantastic - highly recommend!”


About: I've had dogs of various breeds since I was 7, and participated in competitive dog obedience and agility training in high school. I love to go on walks, and would look forward to getting to known your pet! I work from home, so I am around most if not all of the time. Our backyard is fenced and I love to take regular walks! I can care for your pet at my home or yours! Let me know your pets needs and we can find a schedule that best suits you.

“Sean was super easy to book and work with. Very responsive and easy drop off/pick up. He kept me updated throughout the day on how Beau was doing and sent pictures/videos of what a great time they were having. Would recommend for sure!”


About: I’m always happy to meet a new furry friend! I have a dog that I regularly spend time with (Finley, a beagle hound mix) who loves to run around our spacious back yard. There is a wonderful pond (perfect for pups taking a dip) just a 10 minute walk down our remote road. I am well practiced in house sitting and caring for animals in a relaxed and positive manner. I work part time as a waitress so my schedule is very flexible. Usually I will be able to return in time to accommodate bathroom breaks and walks. I have a very large yard with a long leashed run. I am happy to accommodate crating if that is preferred. I spend a good amount of time with a playful medium sized beagle mix if your pup would like to have a pal.

“Laura was very welcoming and I felt confident leaving my anxious dog with her. Her property is a beautiful place for animals to spend the day. We had a nice conversation at pick up and I appreciate her kindness. My dog was very comfortable with her.”

About: I am a well experienced dog owner, having had at least one dog since I was 8. I currently have two dogs, Moose and Banyan. They get along well with other dogs and people. I love dogs, cats, and animals of any kind. I am highly respectful and dependable, with references I can provide if desired. I have reliable transportation and a private property that I own. There is no fence, however, there are six acres. If you want to get pictures and check ins, even videos I’m your pet sitter! If you want minimal updates and to not worry about a thing, I’m also your pet sitter! I also have experience providing medications and can keep continuity with your training preferences. Thank you! I work from home most days. Other days I am flexible to come home for restroom breaks or bring them along. When I work from home I am near the animals. A client’s pet will be treated like my own. I have half the house where pets are allowed and if needed I can separate animals into different areas of the house.

Richard & Hope R.
“Richard has been renting from me for about six months and helping with the dogs I have here when I get busy. He has helped in the past when I have needed an extra helper with some of the dogs I have. He helps me to organize the feeding and sometimes brings them out for walks so we can get them out in a timely manner. He is a loving and responsible person who can be trusted with your dog as he has always had dogs in his life, getting his first dog (a Great Dane mix) when he was ten years old. He has cared for my dog Maebe numerous times and she loves him dearly.”

Coryn B.
“Coryn was one of the best dog sitters I’ve had so far. She was always on time and so good with my two dogs and three cats, who are no easy clan to deal with. I am very picky with who I let watch them because they have specific feeding and care instructions, she followed all of them well and devoted a lot of time to their care. I can tell she is an animal lover and really cares about their well being. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.”
