Cat Sitting Elberton

“Joanna did an amazing job with our dog, Ottis. He can be a handful and gets over excited but she was able to calm him down and manage his behavior beautifully. I was so happy to receive the well written reports & see the wonderful pictures of my boy. This was my first time using Rover and not a kennel - so I am delighted to highly recommend both Rover services & Joanna as a skilled dog sitter. Thank you again Joanna, job well done. This gave me peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away from home.”

About: I’ve taken care of my community’s pets since I was 17. I’ve cared for almost all kinds of pets. Cats, dogs, birds, lizards, you name it! I always try to go the extra mile so that pet parents not only come home to a happy, healthy pet; but a clean and well-cared for home! I am a middle school band director who works 7-3 most days. However, I can go before and after school care and I can spend nights! My kittens get fed twice a day, they get a new toy once a month and go to the vet once a month! They also have their litter box scooped every night and cleaned once a week. They even sleep in the bed with me. If I’m caring for dogs, they go on at least 3 walks a day of varying length (depending on the dog). I frequently watch a 13 year old pug who can’t stay out very long, so he goes on 3, 10-minute walks a day. However, if your dog has the endurance to go on a longer walk/run with me - I’ll take them up to 3 miles!

About: I have provided pet care for dogs & cats since the 1980s. I have also cared for my pets over my lifetime: dogs, cats, rabbits,& birds. I also have experience with horses, llamas, pigs, goats, sheep, monkeys & lemurs. But I do NOT do spiders or snakes. Besides caring for my 3 rescue pups, I also run my own business, so my schedule is usually somewhat flexible. But my calendar books up quickly. I currently do drop-in visits at your home. I have my own transportation. Besides keeping to your pets feeding schedule, I am happy to spend time with them, if they're not afraid of new people. And I'm happy to walk dogs that are 40 lbs or less.

“Jesse did a great job first time with Tag, who is an anxious dog. Jesse is professional and friendly. He is very reassuring and took good care of Tag. we will definitely have Jesse take care of Tag again!”

About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. My mom breeds Maine Coons, so I’ve helped care for kittens and adult cats by feeding, cleaning up after them, socializing them, and making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I also had a dog of my own, so I’m familiar with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and excited to provide a safe, loving environment for your furry family members. I work part-time and have a flexible schedule to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I’ll communicate with you to make sure their routine stays as normal and stress free as possible. I’ll care for your pets in their familiar environment, following their usual routine and any instructions you provide. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them like my own while you’re away.

About: -Lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience since age 10—walking, grooming, and providing both overnight and daytime care for dogs of all personalities. -Owner of a 1-year-old mixed breed (American Staffordshire Terrier, Chow Chow, Pitbull, German Shepherd, Dalmatian) who is sweet, friendly, and loves to play with other dogs—giving me firsthand experience with energy management and socialization. -Calm, laid-back approach to dog care: I match my energy to the dog’s mood to keep them comfortable, happy, and relaxed. -Flexible schedule to accommodate walks, playtime, overnight stays, or drop-in visits. -Guided by my faith in God: I strive to show the same love, patience, and respect to every dog and their owner that God shows to me. -Committed to giving pets a safe, loving environment while keeping owners informed with updates and peace of mind. I am a full time property caretaker, so my schedule allows for lots of flexibility. I can bring dogs to my place and have them outside all day with me or I can leave them at their home and visit 3 times throughout the day within a 10 minute drive from my house. Pets needs are top priority, food, water, potty, meds, outside time, etc. I will not go to the ends of the earth just to get Spot his pup cup if you know what I mean.

About: All my life I was raised to care for animals. I developed a love for them like no other at a very young age. So, when I decided to leave a normal 9-5 job I stumbled across Rover and found my passion. I absolutely adore caring for animals and when I care for yours I will make sure that they are loved and cared for as I would love and care for my own. After my children moved out my schedule became open. I am available at any time to care for your fur babies and am more than happy to do so. When it comes to having a stranger in your home I can understand the uncertainty that comes with. I am here to ensure that you feel comfortable when you need to leave not only your house but your animals. We will have complete open communication at all times and I will make sure to follow all rules set.

About: I am a young energetic person who has had animals in my family since I came into this world. I have been animal sitting for friends and family since I can remember and have cared for all different types of animals. I throughly enjoy time with animals and wouldn't trade that time for anything. I truly feel like it’s healing for the soul! Not only do I care for dogs immensely, but I am an all around animal/critter/reptile lover. I have cared for dogs, cats, bearded dragons, leopard geckos, rabbits, kangaroos you name it! I hope you consider me, not only am I sure I can provide an exceptional service, but it would be my absolute pleasure. I currently work full-time Monday-Thursday and have full availability to care for you pet Friday-Sunday! I can do drop in visits in the evening throughout the week and multiple visits starting Fridays-Sunday. I can tailor my service based off what you feel your pet needs! The only non-negotiable is there will be lots of belly rubs and all around love.

About: I had pets as a child. As an adult we became a dog family 10 years ago. He’s stubborn and way smarter than I am. I’ve learned so much loving on our Smitty. I’m patient and love to see their personalities shine. I work from home so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I would be happy to discuss your personal needs and work that into my day. I walk my dogs on leash on our property. For you I’d do what your pet is accustomed to. I’m very flexible and able to work with what works for you best.

“Laycie did a great job taking care of the outdoor cats, including extra food for a new momma. She also watered plants (we're in a hot, dry spell), which I'm grateful for. Will definitely book her again!”

About: I’ve had both dogs and cats my whole life! My current pet, Gus, is a pomeranian-bichon. Im experienced in dog sitting and training. Fun fact, i’ve also had fancy mice before! I’d love to ease your mind and give your babies the care they need when you’re unable to. I am working Part-Time, so on days that I work, i can be available before 10, and after 7:30. On days when I’m off, I can do anytime! I have a fenced in yard that accommodates my 3 dogs here at home. We also take care of several strays in the neighborhood that have a little sanctuary on the front porch.

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.

“Excellent will be using her again!!!”

About: I’ve always been that person who immediately notices the dog before the humans (respectfully 😂). I genuinely love animals and take caring for them seriously. Whether your pet is full of zoomies, prefers a slow stroll, or just wants someone to sit nearby while they judge me from across the room (looking at you, cats), I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m reliable, patient, detail-oriented, and I’ll stick to your pet’s routine because I know consistency matters. Expect lots of updates, cute pictures, and the occasional message telling you your dog made a new best friend (me). I’m currently a PhD student, so my schedule has flexibility throughout the week. Pet care is honestly one of my favorite ways to step away from my computer, get outside, and spend time with some furry company. I’ll always communicate clearly, arrive when I say I will, and make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. If your pet is in my care, they’re my priority. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep a close eye on their behavior, and make sure they stay safe and comfortable. I know leaving your pet with someone else can feel nerve-racking, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can actually enjoy your time away instead of wondering how your fur baby is doing.

“Sarah takes great care of my two boys when I need her without hesitation, she does an outstanding job! The boys love her and welcome her while I am away, this means so much that they feel safe with her care. We highly recommend Sarah to care for your pet’s needs, she is very reliable and communicates well.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. In addition to my personal experience, I worked at a kennel for three years, where I cared for up to 10 dogs each day. My responsibilities included feeding, bathing, cleaning kennels, supervising playtime, and making sure every dog was safe, comfortable, and happy. Through both my personal and professional experience, I've become comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I also regularly care for my family's cat while they're on vacation, ensuring they're fed, comfortable, and given plenty of attention while their owners are away. Pet care is already a regular part of my routine, and I make it a priority to provide dependable, consistent care. I have classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but they are only for part of the day, which leaves me with plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends, I have even more availability. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits naturally into my weekly schedule. When caring for pets, I always do my best to keep them on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I'll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any other specific care your pet needs. I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also respecting their individual personality and comfort level.

About: With 8 years of experience, I provide loving and attentive care for both dogs and cats. I have worked with puppies, senior pets, and even partially blind or deaf animals. I'm skilled in administering medications using various methods, ensuring your pet gets the care they need. I offer walks, playtime, feedings, and plenty of cuddles! Comfortable handling multiple dogs at once, I’ve cared for households with up to seven dogs, managing feedings and walks with ease. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities! I'm currently a college student with a schedule that allows me to stop by in the morning, midday, and afternoon/night. On weekends I am completely open for care unless stated otherwise on my availability. I provide care in my client’s home to ensure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to minimize stress and maintain their routine. I also send regular photo updates so owners can see how happy and well their pets are while they’re away.

“She did an excellent job. This was our first time using a service of this nature - so glad it went well. Looking forward to reaching out to Kaitlyn in the future to care for our pets needs. I like that she was close by. And the format via rover - checking and time management- pictures were sent - really nice to get that kind of interaction.”
