About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for animals. I specialize in overnight care, ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I'm experienced with senior pets who need extra attention and gentle care, as well as energetic puppies that require structured routines and basic training reinforcement. Whether it’s administering medication, sticking to special diets, or just offering extra cuddles, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine, and I make it a priority in my schedule. I’m available for overnight stays during the week and weekends, and I plan my days around the pets I care for—whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medication. I maintain a calm, consistent environment to help pets feel secure, and I give updates regularly so you know how your pet is doing. I’m flexible and can adjust to meet your pet’s usual routine to keep them happy and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I create a calm, secure, and familiar environment by following your routines closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I’m always mindful of safety, keeping doors, gates, and potential hazards in check, and I never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I provide regular updates with photos and messages, so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. Building trust—with both you and your pet—is at the heart of how I care.

“Jesse was an incredible sitter for our 18 year old Chihuahua with daily Medication needs!! It was Rocco’s first Rover experience and when we came home from date night, Rocco was CALM, rested and HAPPY. :) He’s a VERY VERY PICKY CUSTOMER so JESSE made this worried Dog Mama Very RELIEVED and Thankful! We Will BOOK AGAIN!”

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.

“If I could give 10 stars, I would. Isabella stayed at my apartment while I was out of town. My dog, Kiah, has special care needs right now due to recovering from pancreatitis. She was diligent with Kiah’s care and treated her like her own. She called or text with any questions just to make sure. Kiah instantly fell in love with her too!! Sitting on her lap right away. She couldn’t stay the entire length of my trip and I knew this from the start, but when my cousin came to take over she walked her through everything and gave her updates on the week. I FaceTime my cousin after and she said, “your place is so nice and clean.” I hadn’t been there in a week so that means Isabella kept it so nice. She even threw the sheets in the wash so my would have fresh sheets. Isabella is so sweet, kind and such a great caregiver to my dog. I will definitely be referring her. Thanks Isabella!!”

“Laraine was fantastic. She kept me updated and sent pictures of Lenny, so I didn't have to worry about anything while on vacation. I knew he was in good hands, and I will definitely use her again—I highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve always been around animals growing up. Any where from hermit crabs, fancy mice, cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters- I’ve cared for and loved them all. I’ve always been told that it’s our job to take care of our pets (companions), and what better way than to help others take care of theirs when needed. As of now, I am only available during Friday evenings at around 5:45-6 to Sunday evenings. I’m working everyday during the week, so I had to change my schedule around a bit, but I wasn’t quite ready to give Rover up yet. I love taking care of animals so I’m still trying to make this work with my busy schedule! You never have to worry when your babies are with me. I have a fenced in yard, where they can run around while being watched. If I’m visiting their home, I will do what the owner ask of me and give all the attention to the fur babies!

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 absolutely adore every animal, from the furry, to the scaly and slithery. I am well acquainted with dog and cats of all sizes and do not discriminate against breed or size. The majority of my life I've been surrounded by animals, and all of them have helped me grow to be the person I am today. I understand how important it is to pay attention to every twitch, head tilt, and noise a companion gives. Every fur-friend is so special and deserves to be treated and loved like a family member. I currently work at home as a digital artist, so my hours are flexible to meet what you and your companion need! Willing to walk or just sit and talk, I'm looking forward to befriending your fuzzbaby. I'm so excited to shake new paws and meet new furr-friends! I currently work at home, so my schedule is very flexible for any client! I will be updating my schedule if I need to for any reason. My front and back yard are very large, and the backyard has a fenced in area. There's plenty of room for running, walking, and playing around in the grass. Good shaded areas and sunny spots for days with good weather. I stay outdoors with my dogs and others when they're out, and will not leave them unattended. We have plenty of toys and activities to do!

“Wowwww! This was my first time for a lot; leaving our five year old Australian Shepherd overnight, using Rover, have someone house/dog sit, and Kaitlyn made it an amazing experience! We live an hour away from each other and had never met but she took the time before I even booked her to come to our house and meet us and our dog. She was so sweet and patient and slow getting to know him-allowed him to come to her, did all the right things at our first meeting, that we knew she was going to be the one we booked. We were on vacation about a week, in a different time zone and several times a day she would send pictures and updates. When we came home our house had been cleaned-swept up dog hair, vacuumed and mopped, all the dirty linens were in a pile and all the dishes washed. I was so impressed!!! We love Kaitlyn and will definitely be booking her again!”
