About: Hello! My name is Sara. I was a dog and cat boarding and dog daycare manager at a popular animal hospital in Duluth for several years. I originally started at an entry level in 2015 and worked my way up to a management position in 2017, where I stayed until 2021. I had to leave the position due to relocating to Athens. Since then, I spent some time at another veterinary hospital local to Athens as a receptionist from 2021 to 2022. In 2022 I switched to a work from home position, but found myself deeply missing the fulfillment that comes from taking care of pets. I started doing pet sitting for family, friends, and a smattering of former clients from my previous work places, and then decided to try and branch out to do it more frequently as a side business! My family and I are located in Commerce, on a private property with a large yard. Currently it is unfenced, but we are planning to fence it in the future. I had to take some time away from Rover due to moving into a new construction home, but I am back now and ready to host your lovely pups again! In my time as a kennel manager, I took several professionally-taught classes on dog behavior and worked closely with the head veterinarian and business owner to learn about the in's and out's of dog behavior. While I am NOT a medically trained professional (I can not and WILL not make diagnoses or provide treatment for your pets, as I am not registered!!), I do have some knowledge of common health conditions and medications that dogs and cats might experience over their lives. I have a wide array of knowledge of dozens of different dog breeds and everything in-between. I also cared for cats that were away from home and helped in any way I could to try and keep them comfortable. I became very aware of anxiety in dogs and cats: how to spot it, how to try to soothe it without reinforcing it, and the best ways to avoid triggering anxiety in the future. Through slow and steady acclimation I regularly assisted new pets to the kennel facility get more comfortable and accustomed to their home away from home. The facility I managed also had large play groups of up to 10-15 dogs at a time that were monitored at all times. This only continued to reinforce my experience with dog behavior and reading their signals to avoid any scuffles from occurring in the first place. Altercations between animals were rare to nonexistent. Finally, I learned about numerous different types of food and medications and how to best administer them. I became quite experienced with getting pets to take their medication orally and also learned how to administer insulin subcutaneously. I didn't at all mind sitting and feeding pets by hand if they were too nervous to eat on their own, and would regularly clean ears, wrinkle folds, and anything else needed as requested by their owners for dogs with sensitive skin. I especially fell in love with senior pets- those that are always eager for a buddy to curl up on and for pets and attention, but are perhaps a bit too sensitive to be in large groups or around many other dogs. Working as a kennel manager made a huge difference in the amount of experience and understanding I have with animals. I strive to offer a safe, calm and comforting home for your beloved pets to relax in while you are away. I want to put your mind at ease so you don't have to worry at all- your pet will be loved like they're my own when they're here. :) I work from home and make my own schedule with my main career, so I am able to step away to tend to your pet when needed. ALL PETS MUST BE UP-TO-DATE ON VACCINES AND FLEA/TICK MEDICATION! PLEASE INFORM ME OF ANY FOOD ALLERGIES YOUR PET MAY HAVE! I have a fenced in backyard and am available during the day to tend to your pet at any time. We do not have any dogs in the house, though we do have a cat that keeps to herself. I am experienced with anxious animals and have several years' experience of pet care in a professional setting, so I am well aware how to handle animals of all sizes, temperaments and ages. I am able to administer medication on whatever schedule is required, and have experience administering insulin injections as well. I do offer basic grooming services if you are interested! **Please note I cannot provide haircuts beyond very minimal cut-outs of small mats, etc.** BATH ONLY: $40 DREMEL NAIL TRIM ONLY: $20 ANAL GLAND EXPRESSION: $15 Please note that I will NOT perform a grooming service if your pet is very distressed or trying to bite during! I will of course refund any fees for services that are unable to be completed.

“This was my first time using this service and Beverly was amazing! Sent pictures and followed the instructions I gave, I had one less worry while I was out of town. She will definitely have a repeat client because I will definitely book her again!”

Whitney H.

“Sydney was awesome! She took great care of our cats, fish and house. If she's willing, we will have her sit for us again.”

About: I've always loved taking in animals and taking care of them whether they were my own or not. I have been pet sitting for about 4 years now, and I volunteered at an animal clinic in Athens, GA for 6 months. At the clinic I frequently bathed, walked, feed, and took care of many different dogs and cats. I currently only work a couple days out of the month and also complete college online, so my schedule gives me open and flexible availability! Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are all prioritized when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I always take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs such as feeding schedules, medications, or behavioral preferences.

“Hanna was great with our senior cat, Guinness!”

Emily C.

“Mallory was very friendly, and my cats loved her. She took great care of our house while we were gone and brought in packages that arrived. She sent photos and videos of the kitties, and she was easy to communicate with. I will definitely ask her to petsit again.”

Rebecca V.

“Kaitlyn responds fast and sent me sweet updates of my cat Waldo! I would definitely book her again:)”

Anna I.

“Thank you again, Darlene! We had not been out of town in a while, and our cats were used to having someone at home. Darlene was extra interactive and attentive to them. They loved her and were very affectionate with her. I can always count on Darlene to take exceptional care of my pets.”

“did a great job looking after my fur babies and kept me posted with lots of pictures and info. Definitely cares about my kitties and would use her again for sure.”

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.

About: I've been a dog owner my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a part of who I am. Every dog has their own personality and routine, and I enjoy taking the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. One of the most meaningful parts of my experience has been caring for senior dogs and providing compassionate end-of-life care. I understand how important patience, consistency, and gentle attention are during every stage of a dog's life. Whether your pet needs medication, a slower-paced walk, extra cuddles, or simply someone to keep them company, I'm happy to provide the care they deserve. I value responsibility, communication, and attention to detail, and I'll care for your pet with the same dedication I bring to every commitment. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your dog feels happy, safe, and cared for. I truly love spending time with animals and am excited for the opportunity to give back to my community by helping local families care for their beloved pets. As a Ph.D. student, I have a flexible schedule and set my own working hours. Most of my research and academic work can be completed remotely, which allows me to spend a significant amount of time at home. I typically go into the lab for only a few hours each day and live very close to my workplace, so I often come home during lunch as well. This flexibility means your dog won't be left alone for long periods of time. I'll have plenty of opportunities throughout the day to provide companionship, playtime, and attention. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, games of fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I can also provide regular potty breaks, outdoor exercise, and enrichment activities to keep your dog happy and engaged. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine as much as possible while giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in my home, I do everything I can to help them feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications, and any special needs, so they can maintain a sense of familiarity while you're away. Throughout the day, your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime, enrichment, and affection. My home has a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely explore, play, and enjoy frequent potty breaks. I also live near a park, making it easy to provide longer walks, fresh air, and extra exercise for dogs who enjoy getting out and exploring. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized cats who are comfortable around dogs. They are calm, respectful of other animals, and have experience living alongside canine visitors. If your dog enjoys feline company, they'll have friendly companions, and if they prefer their own space, I'm happy to provide separate areas so everyone feels safe and comfortable. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I'll provide regular updates and photos while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, loved, and receiving the best possible care.

“Raina was very responsive and did a great job taking care of my cats!”

About: I have three years of pet care experience, including three years at a doggy daycare and boarding facility and two years as a veterinary assistant. I'm skilled in caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior animals needing extra attention. My veterinary background allows me to confidently handle medications, special diets, and recognize signs of illness. I’m also experienced with anxious or reactive pets and always prioritize their safety and comfort. What sets me apart is my blend of medical knowledge and compassionate, hands-on care. Pet care is an important and consistent part of my weekly routine. I currently work part-time as a veterinary assistant at a rescue hospital while completing my college degree in animal bioscience, which has deepened both my practical skills and understanding of animal health. Throughout college, I’ve also fostered cats, providing them with daily care, enrichment, and medical support as needed. Before that, I spent three years working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I helped manage feeding, playtime, and behavioral monitoring. Whether through work, fostering, or my studies, caring for animals has always been a central and rewarding part of my daily life. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable and sticking to their usual routines. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I’m experienced with administering medications if needed and keeping the home tidy and secure while you're away. For dog walks, I focus on safe, engaging walks tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so your pets feel safe and happy in their familiar environment.

“Savanna is a wonderful house sitter! She took great care of my two picky cats that demanded lots of attention and effort to make them eat while I was on a business trip. My senior cat has to be fed wet food several times a day and has digestive issues, so I booked her for house sitting instead of drop-in visits. I left long instruction notes for when & how to feed him, and she kept every little detail I asked for and was always on time for the feeding schedule. She also sent me lots of pics and frequent updates. My apt was very clean and intact when I got back from the trip. Definitely recommend Savannah for any pet sitting & house sitting needs!”

About: I’m a fun loving dog sitter. I love playing with dogs, walking with them, and giving them tummy rubs. Being lazy is another quality I’m good at when me and the dog(s) don’t have anything better to do. I really do love animals. Their like fluffy teddy bears. Dogs deserve all the love and attention in the world. Weather they act crazy or not If the dog misbehaved then I would lightly pop it on the nose and say no but if the dog was nice then I’d give it tummy rubs
