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: My services include the basic outside time and feeding times, but leave room for walks, baths, and lots of playtime at the pet owner's discretion. I've worked with animals for over 15 years, have learned basic training techniques, been a pet sitter for several families, and have dealt with a variety of breeds (and sizes). Currently, I am living in the greater Athens, GA area with my Catahoula mix, Schatzie. I graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in Animal Science and have decided that I want to devote my life to working with animals. I would love to get to know you and your four-legged friend(s)! Why do I love dog sitting? I've been a dog-lover my entire life. I grew up with cats, and decided that for my 16th birthday I wanted a dog instead of a car. I grew up volunteering at the local CSRA Humane Society - from dog walking to helping the vet tech there, my love for animals grew. It’s where I adopted my first dogs, Lorraine and MJ. It's my passion for animals that then led me to study Animal Science in college, and through my studies, I gained valuable experience with a variety of species. I am happy to watch your dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, reptiles, and the like! Do I have experience administering medication? Yes; I have spent several years working along-side a vet tech, and have become comfortable administering a variety of medications and treatments.

About: I have a lot of experience working with animals, especially dogs. Mostly personal experience, but also professional experience. I used to work at a dog kennel. I have experience with administering medication orally to dogs and cats, I have some experience with dog grooming. I don’t mind getting dirty when working with animals. I have owned dogs my whole life, but I currently only have a cat, I previously owned a rabbit so I also have extensive knowledge about exotic pets as well. I am currently in school Tuesday and Thursdays 9-3 until early August of 2025. Other than that I can be with your fur babies as much as you want/ need me to be. I unfortunately cannot provide any home services, because I live in an apartment with roommates that also have a cat. But I am very comfortable coming to your home.

About: I adore all animals and have experience working with those who may need some more support. I have walked and trained dogs before and am willing to walk reactive dogs. I am a full time student at uga but I have time on both the weekends, afternoons, and some mornings to drop in or walk your pet. I will make sure to send pictures of your pet to make sure there is a clear line of communication. Additionally I have experience with reactive dogs who may need support when they’re frightened.

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.

“Calvin takes such good care of my senior dog. We just love him!”

“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: I have walked, house-sat, and pet-sat for people in my community for years and I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, needs, and temperaments. Due to my experience working and volunteering in dog and cat shelters and socializing reactive dogs and cats, I consider myself skilled at working with socially anxious or reactive pets. I also have a particular soft spot for working with senior and special needs pets. I'm currently a part-time pre-vet student, so I have lots of off time to work and care for your pets, especially at odd hours and throughout the weekdays. I am very adaptable, and I aim to maintain your pets' typical routine in your home to keep them happy and healthy! This means keeping walking, feeding, sleeping, and play schedules and habits as consistent as possible with their normal day-to-day.

About: While finishing up in grad school, I find myself with a more flexible schedule and extra time that I can dedicate to caring for your pet. Whether you're busy with work, running errands, or enjoying some time out, you can rest assured knowing that your pet will be well taken care of. I can offer companionship, playtime, walks, and feeding. With my focus on completing my studies, this gives me a great opportunity to make sure your pet feels loved and attended to, all while you go about your day with peace of mind! While juggling my studies and pet care, I ensure that I dedicate several hours each day to look after my dog, as well as any other pets I have the chance to care for. My dog’s day includes multiple walks throughout the day, along with an evening trip to the dog park. Any dog I care for will also enjoy their own outdoor walk or playtime!

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: 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!

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

Jay T.

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: 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. Please bring all your pet's favorite play toys and their bed, food, treats and what ever else they love to make my house feel like their home.

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.
