Cat Sitting in Clarkesville

“This young lady is a marvelous incredible talented caring with all types of animals She sends photos …videos …my for babies love her so very much … She cares for your home as well…. I can’t say enough about her talents”

“Melani was fantastic. She obviously loves dogs and is great working with them. This was my first time using a sitter like this and was very nervous. She sent me pictures of how Blondie was doing with her. I will definitely use her again as needed.”

About: I’ve been taking care of critters all shapes and sizes since I was a teenager. In the past I have done pet sitting jobs, but wanting to expand to walking, boarding, training and basic grooming. I am home all day and can easily get to and from locations to walk dogs. I prefer walking dogs who have been socialized with other dogs and know basic commands. I can teach a few new tricks as well on our walks. I currently have my service dog in and he goes everywhere with me, can be a buddy for your dog! They’ll both get some exercise, play, and socialization! Or a solo walk, can implement some training as well to stimulate your dogs mind as well as body.

About: I’ve had my own pets since I was 6. I’ve had cats, dogs, hamsters , and currently have chickens, ducks, and 3 cats. I have cared for pets off and on over the years for friends and family and have about 20+ years experience! I am a stay at home mom to my 3 kids. My kids love pets and would enjoy playing/helping as long as you are comfortable with this, but also I completely understand if someone is not comfortable with this. I have some flexibility throughout my days that I can care for your pet(s). Aside from caring for my kids and our own pets, I would love to help take care of your fur-baby! I do not have a fenced in yard, but we do have a large yard and are very far away from the road and on our road is not very busy, we do have neighbors with lots of pets and they have handled this area/property well - hopefully that helps. I would prefer to visit your home to care for your pets, but my home is also an option.

“Valerie did an amazing job checking in on our two labs while we were camping. We had a few days when we could not take the dogs with us on our adventures, so we are thankful we had someone take of our fur babies for walks, to water them, and interact with them. She took pictures during each visit for us to see how they were doing. Our fur babies were well taken care of during these check-ins, and we will definitely use Valerie next time we camp in the area.”

“Katherine’s passion for pets (and people) is evident within the first five minutes of talking with her! If she says she’ll be there; you can count on it. She is very kind, thorough and knowledgeable when it comes to caring for my buddy boy Baxter! They bonded immediately. He’s a 11 yr old 65 lb American Pit Bull Terrier. Katherine most definitely gets my heartiest recommendation!”

“Olivia looked after our 2 dogs and she was always on time for walks and feeding.. I had pictures of my dogs every single day on how they were do.I would definitely use Olivia again. Olivia was quickly to respond to any phone calls or texts that I sent. Great person to watch your babies”

“Was so awesome to drop by with very late notice. Was great with all my pets! Definitely recommend her!”

“Mikaela took care of our cat and kept a general watch of the plants and garden while we were out of town. She was very attentive and had great communication. Will definitely use Mikaela in the future.”

About: For boarding and doggy daycare, dogs must be up to date on the following vaccinations: rabies, DHPP (or some version of it), and Bordatella, which is for kennel cough. I am licensed as a kennel through Department of Agriculture. Vaccinations protect all dogs who come and go from my facility. The safety of your dogs is my top priority. My passion and full-time job is taking care of dogs! I am licensed and insured in addition to Rover because I have dedicated myself to giving attentive care and keeping your pets safe. I have 800 sq. ft. (40'x20') fenced dog park just for letting the dogs out to play, and I spend all day with dogs who stay in my care, whether I am in the dog park outside or my inside. Dogs are treated as family and protected as such. Even inside I have tons of toys to stimulate your dog. I give treats if approved by you and/or you can bring your own. It's really more of a vacation for your dog. I walk them around my 4 acre property. I have a lake in the backyard that with your permission your furry friend can play in the lake. Whether it is doggy daycare or boarding, the dogs are tired when they leave and many dogs do not want to leave, honestly. The dogs are supervised 100% of the time, and you can trust that your dog is getting the star treatment. I send a lot of photos and give updates daily. You are not just leaving your precious pet with someone who does this as a hobby. You are leaving your best friend to someone with lots of experience and can read dog body language, which keeps your dog safe. I also know dog CPR and can give medicine. I follow all instructions to the letter, and I am dependable. I have never had to cancel a dog's stay. I also have dog training experience. I have taken my dog to Manners 101 and CGC and then taught all my dogs at home as well as other dogs in my care. Lastly, I have the skills to deal with dog aggressive dogs who may not do well with other dogs. I have first-hand experience keeping dogs apart safely in a separate room. I am very thorough at keeping doors shut, getting in and out of doors without the dog escaping, and only taking the dog out when it is safe, meaning all of dogs are secure. If a dog is aggressive toward other dogs, I can only accept if I have my private suite (bedroom) available because of the privacy needed because an aggressive dog will need to be in the suite the majority of the time, but I do make time to hang out in the main house one on one with the dog when all others are resting in their crates or being watched by my partner in another room. When I pet sit, I keep your house pristine, and you can count on me to be there if we schedule a visit or pet sit. I am dependable, trustworthy, and responsible. I like to keep animals in their regular routine while you are away. For dogs, that means regular walks, runs, whatever they are used to doing with you is what I want to give them while you are away. I give your pets the love and attention they deserve. I also check the mail, bring in packages, water plants and gardens, and shut on/off lights if requested. I am a non-smoker with a clean background who is drug free (former teacher). Meet and greets are available and free. Dog care is my full-time job! I was a high school English teacher, and I quit to start my own dog care business because I wanted to give attentive care and create fun times and adventures with dogs. I am available 24/7 for your pet care needs. Don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have questions or want to do a meet and greet. Meet and greets are recommended and free! I want to give you a tour and for you to know where your dog will stay. I will gladly show you the accomodations and meet with you, so you can have confidence leaving your pup. 🩵Supervised 100% of the time 🩵Boarded dogs are out of the crate and with me 90% of the time 🩵Dogs are on leash when walked 100% of the time 🩵 Dogs are up-to-date on their shots: Rabies, DHPP (or variation), and Bordatella (kennel cough) 🩵 Dogs get only approved treats by you 🩵 Pet CPR and first aid certified 🩵 Lots of love and attention!

We had no problems at all and can highly recommend her as a pet sitter. We had four dogs at the time, ranging in sizes and ages, with the oldest needing special attention.”

About: Hey, I’m Syd! I’m based in North GA and have over 9 years of experience with pet sitting. I’ve been caring for animals for years and absolutely love it. I’ve worked with everything from tiny kittens to 100 lb dogs and have experience with administering medication and accommodating special diets when needed. Your good boy (or girl) will be in great hands with me! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions—I’d love to help care for your furry friend! 😊 I work primarily from home so I have the flexibility to add pet care to my routine.

I can also sit a dog at my house depending on certain circumstances/ criteria.

“Skylar is by far one of the most reliable and responsible people i’ve ever met. She is so organized, quick to respond, and respectful of any and all expectations that she’s given. She has always excelled in everything she’s done from school, to the police academy, and even just as being a friend/family member.”
