I am willing to stay in your home for your pets’ comfort or to visit late at night and early in the morning. I am unable to care for pets in my home because of my own dog’s anxiety. Because of my experience with him, I am well prepared to care for pets that have anxiety, aggression, and nervousness.

About: I have grown up with pets all my life, starting at the age of 7. My family currently has three dogs (one small and two medium) that I care for regularly. I am able to walk the three on a lease comfortably and have played a large role in training them. Although I prefer dogs, I grew up with a cat that I loved and cared for. I am able to provide compassion and care to a variety of pet personalities. With years of experience caring for cats and dogs, I understand how important it is to find a sitter/ walker you can trust. Whether your pet needs playtime, a dependable routine or just company, I’m here to provide loving and reliable care. I just received my Doctorate of Physical Therapy in May and am currently studying for the licensure exam that will be at the end of July. My availability is open as I have the freedom to adjust my study schedule as needed. I care for pets in their home by meeting them where they are at; literally and personality wise. With three dogs of my own at home, I am unable to watch your pet outside of their home. In caring for your pet in their environment it helps reduce stress and attempt to maintain any form of routine they have. I am considerate of multiple personalities and consciously make an effort to accommodate the pets needs. With dogs I have watched in the past, I attempt to give them familiarity with their routine, within mine and their comfort. I walk familiar roads/paths, feed them on their schedule (if possible) and attain to any of their needs. I will use any devices/ equipment you typically use and will prioritize safety outside the home (using leases, collars, etc.).

“Wow, just Amazing! Olivia was attentive and followed directions to a T. She was extremely diligent and gave my sweet boy extra lovings.

About: With five years of experience, I specialize in personalized care for a wide range of animals, including reptiles and livestock. I am skilled in working with animals of all ages, administering medications, and providing extra care for those with special needs. I am currently a part-time college student with a flexible schedule. Because of this, I am free throughout the week, only needing to leave your pet to attend classes. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize making them feel safe and comfortable in my presence. I maintain their routines, provide attentive care, and create a calm environment to ensure they feel secure while their owner is away.

“Annaliese is great! She is punctual and able to take our 2 dogs on long walks in a short amount of time.”

About: I grew up with dogs and have loved having them in my life ever since. When my senior dog, that I raised from a pup, passed a a few years ago, I wanted more dogs in my life again! I know exactly what it's like having to leave a beloved friend in someone else's care. I have a safe, comfortable home with a fenced yard for your dog to feel at home in while you're away. I now have a dog of my own, she is a submissive, dog-friendly 3 year old who loves other dogs! If you have a friendly, non-aggressive dog I’d love for them to meet! I feel like I have an intuitive sense about dogs and know what they're trying to communicate when they show me what they need. I have experience with playful puppies and seniors with special needs and all ages in-between. I'm a calm, patient, fun leader. Your dog will be treated as part of the family and can sleep in bed if they so choose (let me know if this is not ok with you). I will stick with their usual routine as much as possible so they are comfortable and happy. I will take up to 2 dogs from the same family. One client at a time. I'm a graphic designer working from home so am available for doggy snuggles all day and for playing in my big yard and walks outside. I have a big yard with about a half acre fully fenced for dogs to run, play and explore. I am with them all the time outside and don’t leave them outside unsupervised.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was ten years old for neighbors and family. I have a bachelors in animal science from UGA and currently work in a local animal clinic for cats and dogs. This clinic offers regular and medical boarding and I am comfortable with animals in all stages of life as well as those that might require a little extra time and attention. I am CPR certified and have training to administer medications and fluids and monitor critically ill patients. I work Mondays-Thursday’s 7:30-6 and can be flexible with a lunch hour to provide for all types of needs. I am open all weekends and holidays. I have one sweet medium sized fur baby who is a shepherd mix, she is friendly with all sizes and breeds. I typically care for pets in a clients home as I find this can minimize stress related clinical signs from manifesting. I love to be active and can incorporate that into your high energy pets needs or can snuggle with your low energy pet and read a book. I monitor my dogs food and water intake closely and actively observe them when outside, I treat all my pet sitting babies the same as I would my own girl.

“Alexia is wonderful! As my dog can be skittish, she met Riley first. She asked lots of questions about taking care of my dog, questions I hadn’t even thought of. Alexia was patient, attentive and loving. I would certainly have Alexia take care of my dog again.”

About: While I've had pets my entire life, I've professionally cared for the animals of others for nearly 10 years. While I was in the Army, I fostered for a local rescue and did the basic training and socialization for young, abandoned puppies to get them ready for forever homes. While pursuing my BS of Animal Science at ISU (Class of '19) I worked at Lloyd Veterinary Medical Hospital with equines of all ages, and spent several years as professional Animal caretaker working at the USDA with small animals. I have experience with dogs and cats, young and old, as well as rodents and other small animal pets, geckos, and freshwater aquarium fish. I am semi-retired, and work my own hours part time so schedule is flexible and it's easy for me to fit your pet(s) into my daily life Your pets will be most comfortable in their own environment, and I am committed to caring for them in a way most similar to what they are accustomed to.

About: Hi there! We’re Justin and Esther—animal lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Justin is an author who’s had pets his whole life, starting with a sweet cat named China, who had a litter of kittens he raised until their passing. Today, we care for Lunae Lux, our energetic Siberian Husky, and Fayth, Justin’s affectionate cat. For Esther, being surrounded by animals was always a dream—and marrying Justin made it a reality. It’s allowed her to bond deeply with both Lunae and Fayth, fulfilling her lifelong wish to share her days with furry companions. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or training, we’re passionate about giving every pet the care and love they deserve. Animals are the first and most important priority of the day, afternoon and night. They are like children in that aspect, or fur children as people say. My cat and dog get along very well. I have trained my Siberian Husky to be more understanding and caring to smaller animals such as cats.

“Awesome girl and Lauren has helped me out with watching my dog several times !”

About: I’m currently 21 years old, and I’ve had a shih tzu since I was 10! My dog has some little quirks (like needing some extra help and encouragement to go through doors in the house and only eating her food out of a very specific bowl), so if your dog has any quirks too, I’m happy to accommodate anything they need! I’ve only ever had a small dog myself, but I’ve volunteered at a shelter and walked dogs of all sizes (yorkie to husky). I’m a college student at Purdue, but this summer I’m at home taking some online classes, babysitting, etc., so I have some extra time to help care for your dog anytime! My dog is like a member of my family, so I understand the importance of a safe and caring environment. When someone is taking care of my dog, I appreciate regular updates, so I would be happy to do that for you as well while caring for your dog!

About: My mom and I started transporting pets about 6 years ago to different states and countries. Due to being in school, I cannot travel a lot and chose to pet sit instead. I have been responsible for walking, feeding, and bathing dogs. I even have experience with cats and other animals like bunnies. Here is my link for $20 off for first time Rover users :) https://www.rover.com/sit/annikl68174 I am currently free for the summer. I will be going back to college in mid August. I hope to also pet sit when I start classes. I am willing to stay overnight at any clients home and accommodate to the animals in your home. I’m more than willing to do drop ins or stays! :)

About: I am an absolute dog lover and Rover lover! After I graduated from UGA in 2018, the first thing I did was purchase my own puppy, and she has been worth every sacrifice. Rover has helped me out so much while I have been moving between houses, and would be honored to give back by being a sitter. I am married and work full time, but am flexible as to whether I am working at home or in the office, and my husband is available to switch off with me as needed. My dog is very gentle, and loves play when with a good buddy. I am also a runner, so if your dog is high-energy, I will gladly take it for a good run (Yes- even if they want to yank my arm off)! I am diligent about taking puppies out to use the restroom. I understand (from experience) what it takes to house-train a puppy, and how important consistency is. I have a very flexible job, and already spend a lot of time with my own dog. Adding another in the mix would just be more fun for Mal Pal and I! Currently, I do three walks: morning, afternoon, and evening. I try not to leave dogs for longer than and hour if I need to leave the home while pet-sitting. When I am gone, pups stay in their crates.

About: I currently have a cat and a dog of my own, but I have always had at least one pet ever since I was a kid. I love working with dogs to train them, as well as spending lots of time cuddling and playing. I am comfortable grooming dogs. I love pets of all ages, but I have a soft spot for senior pets. I currently work as a caregiver all day Mondays and Tuesdays. I also draw and work on art a lot in my free time. I participate in various art markets and exhibitions throughout the year, but have a lot of free time aside from those days. I don't have a fenced in yard and I have a dog and a cat so I typically don't offer to host other pets at my home, but I am happy to spend some time with your pets in their own home where they should feel the most comfortable. I can take dogs on long or short walks, take them to a dog park, or just spend time with them at your house. I can bathe, brush, play, and cuddle your dogs. I am not a certified trainer, but I can work on simple commands and behavior modification. It's up to you how you prefer I help take care of your pet!

About: I have worked with a number of different sizes and ages of dogs. I also love to play with them and take them of walks so they get the exercise they need! I am currently a student that has class a couple days a week and not during the whole day. So I will be available majority of the day to either stop by and let a dog out during the day or evening. Also, I am available to watch overnight and have a lot of experience doing so! I am not offering in home care because I live in an apartment and I don’t think it would be the best fit for most dogs!

About: Hi y’all- I am a second year veterinary student at the University of Georgia next. I have worked as a vet tech for 8 years now and have a lot of experience caring for senior and special needs dogs! So no matter your pups needs, they will be safe with me:) I have a mutt pup, Boomer, who is 6 years old and is the sweetest thing ever and joins me on my bookings. He is great with other animals and enjoys playing with other dogs and cats - never had a problem with either. He is great at reading social situations so if your dog wants to play, he’ll play, if they don’t want to play, he is just as happy to go lay down and chill. I love taking my dog on walks and letting him play in my fence yard and would love do the same with yours. In my home there are 2 other very friendly fixed dogs that get along with all dogs they meet who are owned by my roommates. They typically are kept in their rooms and are not in the others parts of the house except in the fenced yard. I also am happy to take care of farm animal! Chickens, ducks, goats, horses, cows, you name it - I’ll care for it! I also have a green thumb and don’t mind tending to you garden and plants while I’m gone! As a full time student I am in class from 8-3 on weekdays. However, I do have an hour for lunch in which I can let out your pup. I will take care of your pets exactly how you do! My hope is that I can recreate the environment you provide for you pet while you are gone to create as little stress as possible for them! I have great communication skills and answer rather quickly and will be willing to take last minute bookings! Thank you for considering me and cannot wait to sit your dog!

About: Big fenced in yard for the dogs that love to run but I have couch potato's or furfu dogs too. If the dogs want they can be out 6 to 8 times a day and I have a nice area to walk if they need to stay on the leash. We love all the animals! I'm on time and keep a good schedule so you won't have to wait around for drop off and pick up. I'll also send you lots of pictures. I have a German Shorthaired Pointer and she is everybody's best friend. If your dog has any special care needs please share them in your booking. Bring with you: Bed, food, toy and crate ( not required but helps) The Dog House! Thank you, Rover says I need one more word. Keith I'm working PT so lot's of time to play with the dogs. I've had animals all my life and love them. We can watch a horse and your goats.
