Kaitlyn was an amazing blessing to us all! She is conscientious and thorough. She did not just care for all our boxers but she loved them and played with them all and gave them the attention they deserve. Her experience with dogs put my heart and mind at ease. I had 100 percent confidence in leaving my beloved dogs in her care and will do it again! Thank you Kaitlyn ! Hugs, Theresa

About: I have been house and dog/pet sitting for the past 5 years and adore working with animals! I am happy to help with pets who are more active and pets who just need someone to give them attention and be a comforting presence. I work with pets of all sizes and have lots of experience with senior pets who need more medical attention- This experience includes giving shots, pills, and applying topical medication! I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to take care and play with your fur babies! I have a flexible schedule when it comes to fitting in walks and check-ins, I am usually working on weekend mornings and afternoons, but usually only for 4-6 hours at a time! I am currently unable to take care of your pets in my home due to a dog of my own who gets stressed around new animals! I can care for your pets in whatever ways they need, whether it be giving them oodles of attention, talking or singing to them, or simply just be in the room with them as a safe presence to ease yours and their minds!

About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 5 years now, from dogs to frogs! Some of my own and some from others I give each animal the love and care that they deserve. I love being outdoors in any climate whether that be hiking, jogging, or simply sitting in a field. I’d be more than happy to burn some energy with your fur baby! I work part time during the night which leaves lots of free time during the mornings to walk, feed, and check in on your pets. I occasionally have classes during the week, so I’ll already be up bright and early! I will provide your pets with loving attention, frequent walks and bathroom breaks, even playtime. I am sure to create a safe environment for your fur babies, if that means a mini play date or introduction session before sitting I am down for it all. I will stay loyal to the given instructions with proper feeding times and administer medication if/when needed.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old! Growing up I have owned 3 dogs and 6 cats for most of my life. I also was a trainer for the guide dog foundation while I was in college so I have extensive training in dog training. I just love getting to spend my time with sweet pets and hope to get to spend time with your furry friend too! I am a teacher and am looking for some extra money on the side! I love pets and want to spend some extra time with them! I am free to care for your pet day and night! I have a fenced in yard at my house that the pets are free to run and play in but if not I love taking dogs on walks to help get that energy out! I also have 2 loving dogs at home that love to play and meet new friends.

Stephanie did a great job of taking care of my five fur babies while we were gone! We also had a new kitten who was scared and Stephanie won her over by the end. She also won over my grumpy old man cat. Appreciate the daily pictures and for doing the extra chore of taking our trash out. So happy to have a neighbor in Colbert that we can trust!!

About: I've got multiple years of experience handling a highly anxious dog that can be dog selective during high stress situations. I was the one primarily training my family's two dogs, as well as the one taking them out on as many walks as I was able. I have multiple years worth of experience with senior dogs that had arthritis and who needed to have their food prepped especially for easier eating. I'm currently a student at the University of Georgia and currently looking into part time summer positions, however my schedule is very flexible with daily check-ins and overnight stays during both the week and weekend are very doable. During check-ins, outside of ensuring food and water are available, I would make sure to spend time playing and hanging out with any dog and if I have time to take them on a walk I will. For overnights, I would do the same thing with the only difference being the amount of time I'd be able to spend with the dog.

About: I’ve loved animals and pets my entire life. I’ve taken care of all sorts from large dogs to small, cats, fish, and livestock. I grew up on a farm and have been taking care of animals as long as I can remember. I’m an avid fly fisher and student at UGA and my partner is a full time dog groomer. Let us make your pet safe, comfortable, and happy as can be! I’m a full time student in an academic research field, so between research, studying, and class, I’m very free and would love to fill that time with furry friends. As of right now I’m home all day for summer! Pets in our household are always played with, comfortable, well fed and have an eye on them 24/7. Beyond anything else I will ensure your pet is safe and comfortable. The last thing you want while out of town is to worry about your little friends

About: My name is Alexis and I recently moved back to Athens, Ga after finishing college at UGA! I am currently pursued a major in psychology and minor in communication! I've grown up with animals my entire life and I'm a volunteer foster! Fostering brings me such joy and I just want to be able to help as many animals as I can. I have my dog Coco, who lives with my parents. She is coming up on 14 years old. She is my absolute best friend and I took care of her every step of the way. She's been on medication her entire life for epilepsy. I know how to administer medication to cats as well. I have three of my own. Kiwi, Olive and Jack! Kiwi is 6 years old and Olive is 4 :) Jack is around a year old he's the baby. They are the absolute sweetest and are very socialized with other cats since I foster as well! I use to always collect polaroids of my animals and I love sharing that memory with my friends and fellow animal lovers! If you select to have photos sent to you during the trip, I include a little goody bag at the end full of Polaroids of your animals during their little vacation at my home! Quick Info: -Two Story house -Dog Park -Will be home throughout the whole day, I dont do much on the days I decide to board animals. -Same goes for house sitting, if you need me there 24/7 I'll be there. Plenty of space for doggos to roam around! I live in a really nice neighborhood, dogs are always out being walked. I've taken care of animals for many years. I will absolutely provide the best possible care your pup or kitty needs :) Tip is not expected, but greatly appreciated!! Rover gets about 20% of all sitters earnings! I'm currently working part time so I have all the time in the world to play with the pups or kitties! When I book jobs, I make sure I'm home almost 24/7. If I need to leave it'd only be for an emergency. This is basically my full time job for now!! I care for them by providing them with the love I'd want my animals to be given if I was away. I have anxiety when it comes to leaving them so I absolutely know how it can be. I keep owners very up to date with photos and videos of their fur babies.

About: I’ve been caring for pets and pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was young. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including larger breeds such as Pit Bulls, XL American Bullies, and Cane Corsos. I’m comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and safety. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just lots of attention and affection, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I promise to be dependable, responsible, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I am currently a college student home for the summer and do not have another job, which allows me to offer a very flexible schedule. I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding. If your pet is staying with me, I will be home for most of the day aside from occasional errands or appointments. This allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, exercise, and companionship to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I live in a house with a yard and access to a dog park within my neighborhood, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, and enrichment. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions provided by owners and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I will provide attentive care tailored to their individual needs.

Alicia you were amazing!!! Thank you for taking such great care of my babies. They were perfectly happy and content when I got back and it’s because they had you to check in each day. You made this long trip bearable for all of us. The boys and I look forward to seeing you on the next trip!!

About: Hi, my name is Kenzie. I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely love spending time with them. I’m all about creating a calm, happy space where pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their people are away. What makes me different is how naturally I connect with animals and how much real experience I have. I’ve pet‑sat for lots of families with all kinds of pets and personalities, and I’m really good at helping them feel comfortable quickly. I also babysit, so families trust me to be responsible and respectful in their home. I’m easygoing, reliable, and I always make sure every pet gets plenty of love and attention. I just graduated from UGA, so I have a lot of free time right now and would dedicate all of it to your pet. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so taking care of them never feels like “work” to me. I’m flexible throughout the day and can easily fit walks, playtime, feeding, and whatever routine your pet needs into my schedule. When I’m taking care of pets in a client’s home, I keep things super simple and respectful. I follow whatever routine you already have in place, keep your space clean, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and not stressed. I’m good at sticking to feeding times, walks, litter box care, and any little details you want done a certain way. I’m calm, patient, and I always let your pet set the pace. At my place, pets have plenty of room to hang out, explore, and get cozy. It’s a clean, safe space with no chaos, and I’m always paying attention to doors, windows, and anything that could be a safety issue. I love having animals around, so they get lots of attention, cuddles, and a relaxed environment where they can just be themselves. Your pet’s comfort is the main thing I focus on, and I make sure they feel happy and secure the whole time.

Amelia did a wonderful job of checking in on our cats, keeping them fed, entertained, and loved on as well as managing three littterboxes. She stayed in touch each day and sent pictures, and was overall kind and easy to trust in our home. We'll definitely call her again next time we need someone to keep an eye on them!

About: Hello! I’ve been walking and pet sitting all kinds of pets for 10 years, and I love it! You can count on me for giving your cats and dogs lots of attention, and I’m all about ensuring safety while giving pups what they need. I live with 4 cats and 2 dogs, so I have experience with fur babies in general. I also have some fish! I’ve watched and walked bigger dogs like labs, but also some little ones like frenchies and terriers. I am currently a college student so when I do not have classes, I use my free time to care for pets! I’m very available on weekends too. I have 4 cats and 2 dogs at home and take care of them daily and bring them to their vet appointments when needed. I have a lot of experience sitting for both cats and dogs because I know the day to day routine of caring for them, as well as communicating with their own vets.
