About: I've had pets nearly my whole life. I absolutely love dogs and cats. How anyone could mistreat an animal is beyond me. I will give the best care to your pet. I retired a year ago although I'm only 53. I have plenty of time and I love animals so I decided to pet sit and board. I have a big back yard that is fenced in. I also have dog beds in my home. I have central heat and air so your pet will be comfortable in my home.
“Rebekah and her family was just great with Coffee and Daisy. She took great care and it was a great daycare day. I didn’t have to worry while I was trying to move into my new home.”

“Kenzie was wonderful and caring to our boys and we will happily request her to watch our boys every time. Thank you, Kenzie, the boys smell good and were very happy when we picked them up. God bless you and your family!!”


About: I have worked at vet clinics and at barns so I have diverse experiences to handle animals. I also have had pets my whole life. I recently moved to athens to start vet school. Since it is the summer I am a free book and have time all day to watch your baby. I have a townhouse with a dog park to take your baby out. I also have a spacious living room where we can play and cuddle. In your home, I will respect your schedule and follow it to a tee.
About: I've always had a love for animals. I've never met a fur baby I can't get along with. I get the most joy taking care of animals. I work from home with a pretty flexible schedule for dog walks and drop ins. And since I am home, I am able to stay with animals who tend to have some separation anxiety. I have a fenced yard with a very friendly dog who has never met a stranger. I also have two indoor cats, and two rabbits in a room of their own. All of my animals are spoiled rotten.
About: I have always had pets growing up and shared a deep bond with all of them. I had a neighbor who was a professional dog boarder and dog groomer who has taught me many things, as I would often spend time watching her take care of dogs and play with them. I can assure you that your pets will be taken care of and loved while you are away. I can take care of cats as well! You will also get pictures of your fur babies if you desire!! I am currently a full-time college student on summer break and have plenty of free time to watch after your pets whenever you need me to. I am in an apartment, but there is plenty of space for me to walk them outside. There is also a fenced in dog park I have easy access to.

About: What makes me different is that my experience isn’t just from watching dogs—it comes from truly caring for my own over many years. I went through the full journey of raising a puppy into her senior years, which taught me patience, responsibility, and deep respect for animals’ needs. Since then, I’ve felt naturally drawn to caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I currently have full availability after returning from college, which allows me to focus on pet care as a priority. I am flexible with scheduling and can provide care throughout the day, including mornings, evenings, and overnight stays when needed. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space while keeping pets on their usual feeding, walking, and play schedule. I pay close attention to instructions and details provided by the owner so each pet receives consistent, personalized care. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where they are supervised and given plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I make sure they have fresh water, proper feeding times, and a stress-free space to relax. My goal is always to treat every pet like my own and ensure they feel secure and well cared for at all times.

“Guinness did very well & Karmen really put our minds at ease about leaving him with her during surgery. She has a good set up for pets, is responsive and loves animals! We plan to use her again the future.”

“Great day! I know my Lou had a blast. He got to hang out with Patty, her boys, and Nutkin, and made some new friends to boot! He came home happy, and completely pooped. Thanks Patty!!”

About: Dogs are my favorite. I know how to administer medication and calm them down if they are stressed Sr babies are also welcome. Love all I am a stay at home mom currently in school at home. This is a great way for me to take care of babies and earn money doing something I love. I have two fenced in areas. Babies are always watched while we’re outside at play and during potty time. They are never left alone or out of my sight.
“Michelle was awesome! She communicated clearly and often, sent pictures of the puppies, and played with them all throughout the day. They were so tired when they got home and were really excited to go back the next day! Would highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve cared for all sorts of animals since i was 10 years young, including cats, birds, goats, horses and of course dogs and puppies. I love big dogs especially pit bulls. I currently do not own a animal anymore because I couldn’t afford one after I had my daughter. So I decided why not babysit other people’s fur babies!? I’m currently a stay at home mommy so I will have a lot of play time with the fur babies. My schedule usually stays open on the weekdays. I don’t mind caring for your animal inside my home as long as you bring their cage, it’s preferred for sleep time if staying the night. I will provide snacks of your choice! I also help with potty training.
Shady Grove dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jennifer was the best! She and her family loved on Pax like he was part of the family, too. Pax even went to football practice with them and had a great time letting the team mates love on him, too. I highly recommend Jennifer and will definitely be letting Pax stay with her and her family again. 🐾🐾❤️❤️
