Pet care experience

Experienced, retired pet parent

Whether your pup likes to walk for miles on quiet country roads or prefers to lounge on the couch, we can offer a comfortable space. We live in a very private, comfortable environment just outside of town. If your dog is very social they will have a blast playing with our little monsters. If they would prefer a quiet space, I can provide a private room with easy access to our fenced in yard. I have been caring for my family and friends pets and our own for many years. I regularly work at the Athens Dog Shelter walking dogs. I also foster dogs for Friends of the Shelter Dogs and participate in adoption events. Being retired, I make my own schedule and can be available most days from 8:30 am-10:00 pm for drop in visits. Let me put my decades of experience to work caring for your furry kids.

Adrian was a fantastic dog sitter! Our pup Charlie stayed at his house for the weekend and Adrian took time to get to know him and made sure he was comfortable in his new surroundings. We received updates and pictures everyday. Charlie seemed to really enjoy playing with Adrian’s 2 dogs also. We would definitely use Adrian as a petsitter again!

Adrian was a fantastic dog sitter. After doing a meet and greet, I felt completely comfortable leaving our dog in his hands. He seemed responsible and attentive to dogs’ needs, gives them lots of exercise, and has a great environment for them. Will definitely choose him again.

Chance had an amazing time! Adrian sent wonderful pictures and updates! Chance got to go on long walks and play with other dogs and a cat. And got so many snuggles with Adrian and the family! They kept us updated on his eating habits as well! I am just so happy they welcomed Chance into their family for the two weeks we were out of town!

Ollie had a wonderful time at daycare with Adrian! He's a worn out, happy guy.

Adrian was amazing with my reactive pup, Finn. He is very particular about who cares for him, so we did a meet and greet beforehand. Finn immediately took to Adrian, so I knew it was a good fit. He sent thorough updates and pictures with each drop-in visit. Based on the updates, I know Finn loved and trusted Adrian. I cannot recommend Adrian enough and will absolutely rebook with him.
