About: I have taken care of pets (dogs and cats) since I was around 12 years old. This would include walking, playing, housesitting, giving medications, etc. For a week or more. I am trained by a local Athens animal shelter to deal with dogs with behavioral issues, and currently volunteer at the Delaware country animal shelter and getting trained to deal with medical emergencies. I have grown up with large dogs my whole life and very experienced at dealing with their size. I am currently working part - time and taking online classes, this gives me a lot of free time to care for your pets! I also like to walk daily and will always make time to take your pets on walks! Preferably, before caring for the dog in the clients home, I can meet or talk with the owners beforehand to grasp a strong understanding of their expectations and differences between each household. Trust and communication are very important to me and I intend to care for your pets to the best of my abilities.

About: I’ve had all kinds of animals in my house since I was a child and love to take care of my favorite, dogs of course! I am currently a student at Ohio University and only taking one summer class so I will be available a lot of the time during the week. I have an apartment with a lot of grass fields surrounding for dogs to play in, and I will devote my time to them so the do not get lonely.

“Nicole was amazing per usual! Dingo is always so excited to see her and he always returns well-exercized!”

About: I live with two cats when I’m home from college, as well as used it having my beloved 130lb French mastiff. I’ve been caring for animals that range from reptiles, horses, chickens, fish, cats, and dogs for over ten years. I’ve also administered medication to dogs. As well as helped train animals. I’m currently an unemployed college student that’s working on two degrees and a certificate. I’ll be busy Monday and Wednesday from 2-6pm due to classes. Unfortunately I will be unable to care for your pet at my home because of my landlords rules, but at your home I will follow all the rules set for me as well as any schedule your animal may follow. Whether that may be feeding, walking, or medicine.

About: Hiya! I'm Max (: I adopted my first pet of my own when I was 8, but have lived with pets my whole life. I've watched friends and owners pets for them from puppies to seniors who need special care. I have experience with dogs with bladder problems and who need medication. I also have house sat and pet sat throughout the years. I have a strong love and passion for animals and their care! I am currently taking time off from college (OU Oh Yeah!) and work a lot during the school year so am focusing on less rigid work this summer. I am very flexible as I will be doing odd jobs and don't have a weekly schedule! I have training on cleaning and care taking through my mother who taught me with her own job experience. I have a disabled younger sister who I learned how to be very gentle with as well as helping her be gentle with the pets around her. I spend a lot of my free time cuddled up with my dogs Cashew and Crew or running around playing with them. I try to be aware at all times what their interests are so that I can be the best parent to them.

About: Hi! Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From high-energy puppies to slow-paced seniors, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities — each one with their own quirks and needs. Whether your pup needs daily walks, playtime in the yard, belly rubs, medication, or a consistent routine while you’re away, I’ve got you covered. I’m confident, calm, and attentive — and I always treat pets like they’re my own. I understand how hard it can be to leave your dog behind, so I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, an overnight stay, or a week of care, I’m here to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. Let’s make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and at home — even when you’re not. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to your pets — whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Because I’m not tied to a full-time job, I’m able to adjust my availability based on each pet’s needs. I make sure to build my day around their routines, so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for — just like they would with you. Whether it’s one-on-one playtime, regular feeding schedules, or keeping up with medications, I take the time to make sure everything runs smoothly. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that feels familiar and comforting. In your home: I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding and walk times to their favorite spots to nap. I keep everything clean, secure, and consistent, so your pet feels relaxed while you’re away. I’m happy to water plants, bring in mail, and keep you updated with regular photos and messages. In my home: I offer a pet-safe, cozy space where your dog (or cat, depending on needs) will get one-on-one attention and feel like part of the family. I maintain a clean environment with plenty of play, rest, and cuddle time. If your pet has special needs or routines, I’m happy to accommodate them — from crate training to medication schedules. No matter where the care happens, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, affection, and full attention to their emotional and physical well-being.

“It wad great having Elaina stop by for a walk while we’re gone all day! She took Pixie for a nice long walk with lots of updates & photos. Thank you!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cats of every kind ever since I was about 8 years old. I also grew up on a farm near cows/horses/chickens. I have a very big heart for animals and it is very rewarding to me working with animals and gaining their trust and their owners trust! I’m currently doing freelance work on the side, so I have a lot of availability! I can do every day as long as I have a notice! I have a cat and a dog. They are both on schedules to eat. For my dog, I take her out 3 times a day and give her crate time about 5 hours a day.

I live in Athens from the end of October through the start of May. I am available throughout the week and weekends.

One of our cats requires some special attention with medicine and over grooming monitoring. Whatever needs your pets have I will work hard to meet them! As far as house sitting goes I am also readily available. If your house needs anything fixed or done I have a number of skills to help you out!
