About: I grew up with all kinds of animals and took care of them when sick or when family or friends were away. I can continue training if needed. I love to take care of fur babies. I can confidently say when you get home your fur babies will be happy! I am a caregiver for the elderly with dementia my schedule varies but it is typically 12-5pm I can adapt to any set of rules you may have for your pets to help them be more comfortable and feel safe while in my care.
About: I have grown up with pets all my life, starting at the age of 7. My family currently has three dogs (one small and two medium) that I care for regularly. I am able to walk the three on a lease comfortably and have played a large role in training them. Although I prefer dogs, I grew up with a cat that I loved and cared for. I am able to provide compassion and care to a variety of pet personalities. With years of experience caring for cats and dogs, I understand how important it is to find a sitter/ walker you can trust. Whether your pet needs playtime, a dependable routine or just company, I’m here to provide loving and reliable care. I just received my Doctorate of Physical Therapy in May and am currently studying for the licensure exam that will be at the end of July. My availability is open as I have the freedom to adjust my study schedule as needed. I care for pets in their home by meeting them where they are at; literally and personality wise. With three dogs of my own at home, I am unable to watch your pet outside of their home. In caring for your pet in their environment it helps reduce stress and attempt to maintain any form of routine they have. I am considerate of multiple personalities and consciously make an effort to accommodate the pets needs. With dogs I have watched in the past, I attempt to give them familiarity with their routine, within mine and their comfort. I walk familiar roads/paths, feed them on their schedule (if possible) and attain to any of their needs. I will use any devices/ equipment you typically use and will prioritize safety outside the home (using leases, collars, etc.).
About: With years of experience in varied pet care, I can provide general and specialized care. I've cared for both cats and dogs, including those with medical conditions-such as food sensitivies, diabetes, epilepsy, vision empairment, and mobility issues-making me qualified to care for pets with specialized food, medication, grooming, and enrichment needs. I work part-time in the evenings, with a very predictable schedule, so I'll be able to keep your fur-babies company in the morning or during your 9-5 work hours. As a pet sitter, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment for your kitty or pup. I take time to read each animal’s body language carefully, so I can respond appropriately to their needs and respect their boundaries—whether that means giving a shy cat space or offering gentle reassurance to an excitable dog. I maintain consistency with the pet’s established routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any training cues you use with them. This ensures there's no disruption to their daily rhythm, reducing stress and anxiety. I also keep a close eye on each pet’s behavior, noting any changes that might indicate stress, discomfort, illness, or injury, and I will communicate any concerns to you immediately. My goal is to ensure your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and safe in their own home while you're away.
“Michele did a wonderful job looking after our ferrets. We have a unique situation where one is super hyper and needs to burn off a ton of extra energy and the other one is older, laid back and just needs to stretch out and lounge. She made sure both got exactly what they needed. We came home to two happy fuzzies with spotless cages, fresh water and full food bowls. We’d definitely recommend her. She’s a great pet sitter!”
About: I have experience with house sitting with multiple pets from a few days to two months. I owned my own dog for 14 years before she passed away this year. I worked at the Humane Society of Northeast Georgia for a year. This past year I have been fostering a puppy for the Guide Dog Foundation so I have experience raising a puppy from three months old. I’ve just moved to Athens after spending many years building a solid client base in Gainesville. Right now I’m looking for pet care to be a main source of income so I have a very open availability. I have around eight years of experience caring for pets (outside of my own). I have been trained but the Humane Society of Northeast Georgia and the Guide Dog Foundation in animal care and have lots of love to give our furry friends.
“Tracy was great! You can tell she loves animals and that they were well taken care of. She cared for our two cats while out of town and sent us pictures each day. She not only fed them but spent time playing with them. I would definitely use Tracy again.”
“I would hire Anna again because she took good care of my cat, is genuine natured, and followed house rules. I respected aspects of her, for example if there was a mistake that was made, she acknowledged and did her best to make it up to you. She sent photos and updates. I appreciated her adherence to my cat’s care routine, and my cat presented the same as I left. Thanks Anna.”
“Claire went above and beyond with her drop in duties! She was very sweet, easy to get ahold of and stay in contact with, and we felt comfortable leaving her the keys to our apartment. Our cat loved her and was able to warm up to her immediately! She took great care of our baby!”
About: I have been around animals my whole life, pretty much. As a sophomore in high school, i landed a internship with the animal hospital i work at now. My junior year after my internship, I was employed at Ashley Hills Pet Center, which is a great boarding facility. Then later on when i graduate high school i landed a job at oconee county veterinary hospital. I have a huge passion for animals and always have. I am currently working and going to real estate school but i am available for dog walking, house sitting, dog sitting and drop in visits. i do not work full time so i can work you around my schedule! i am very flexable. i am a very well trained veterinary technician of almost a year now and i have learned so much. i have many talents and if there is an emergency i have my coworkers and boss to help me in anyway. I'm currently full time at Oconee County Veterinary Hospital, so I try to work around your schedule and mine to make sure your pets are happy and content! I have currently moved, so I am not taking pets into my home at the moment. I do offer many other services in my clients home. I try to stay within the pets schedule so they feel comfortable with me as much as possible.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life but more so in my 20s, dogs are my people, and my love is like no other. I currently work from home and can make my own schedule. I can accommodate your needs as needed during the day or any day away. if caring for your pet I would ensure your pet is leashed while walking and protecting your pet at all times will follow your lead.
About: I have years of experience caring for animals in my hometown of Athens, Georgia. I grew up in a close-knit community where friends and community members solicited me countless times for pet-sitting services. I have provided services ranging from check-ins and walks, stay-in visits for days at a time, and boarding. I have cared for pets of all shapes and sizes, including elderly pets and pets with disabilities. I have a flexible schedule that I will make work around you, and I will always commit to providing the most loving care for your pets. I’m currently working only part-time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I do not have a car, so transportation is mostly by foot or metro, but I’m happy to go just about anywhere for a pet. I am very patient with pets, and like to give them plenty of time to establish trust with me when meeting for the first time. I like to work with incentives such as treats and verbal cues.
