House Sitting Torch

“Timothy was awesome with my sweet boy Dozer! He did everything as instructed including medication administration and followed his special diet. We will be booking with Timothy again in the near future. He even sent photos!”

“Terrific meet and greet! Will book for coming up dates. Thank you for all the work in getting to know our pup.”

“Jacob did an amazing job with our two dogs and home. He came out and met them the night before on short notice. He was a lifesaver and we will be calling him again! Our dogs can be choosy and they hit it off with Jacob right away. Great Experience!”

About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have three cats and have grown up around dogs of all sizes. I am very loving and gentle with pets and will treat any as if they are my own. I have experience with dog walking, feeding schedules, some medications, and play time! I am currently available most days. I am hoping to fill my summer with pet sitting duties. I’m pretty flexible and ready for anything! I have a good understanding of pet sitting and animal behaviors as I have my own cats and have lived with dogs my whole life. I love nothing more than playing with pets, giving them love, and making sure they are happy and cared for. I’ve been around all kinds of animals my whole life. I’m also very open with communication and would make sure the owners have updates if they need and I will reach out if any additional questions arise.

“An absolutely fantastic first experience with Erin…one of my two “charry” dogs immediately bonded with her and my extremely cautious puppy got past much of her typical “terrified of strangers” feelings within the first 24 hours (which is practically a record for her!). In any case, looking forward to more traveling (without worrying) while Erin watches our babies. Highly recommend!”

“Perfect fit! After adopting a dog who has some reactivity, I was worried I wouldn’t find someone to watch her and the rest of our crew (4 cats, a rabbit, and chickens) when we went on vacation. Julie put me at ease from the moment I met her and assured me she and Sasha would become friends. She did a long visit before I left and was there when we left. She let Sasha come to her and they quickly became friends. I am so thankful we found Julie. I will 100% use her again and I recommend her to anyone looking for a good sitter.”

“Melissa was wonderful! She took great care of our little dog in our home. We met her the day before and felt so comfortable leaving her with our spoiled pup. She's very friendly and our little boy really seemed to love her. She sent pictures so we could see he was doing great. Thank you Melissa. We'll be calling on you again. ?❤”

“Desiree watched our two pups over the weekend at our house and we could not be happier. She was our first experience using Rover and she has set the bar high! Our meet and greet helped to calm my husband and I’s nerves. She is on top of communication with quick responses. Our dogs were loved and we could tell they had a great time with Desiree. Hoping we can have her watch them again in the near future.”

“Nicole did a great job. She gave me updates and informed me that she took the time to get to know my pups before entering the house. My husky can be very cautious with new people, but she knew how to handle the situation. She sent pics and was very professional.”

About: I’ve taken care of and worked with a variety of animals since I was a kid. I grew up with dogs and cats as well as farm animals. I raised horse, pigs, and goats for 4-H in my hometown. In high school, I volunteered at my local pet shelter, working with cats and dogs. I also began pet sitting in high school and loved the experiences I had getting to know clients and their amazing pets. I currently work part time and have a flexible schedule. I am a university student living in Athens over the summer. I am willing to fulfill your and your pets’ needs any way I can. If you have any specific questions just ask! I am an active individual who loves walking and playing with dogs. I have reliable transportation and respond quickly to messages. I will work with you to provide the best care and attention for your pet.

About: I’ve cared for all kinds of animals over the years. Growing up I always had dogs and cats, and rats when I was older. I have pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors for extended periods of time. Additionally, I have worked as a kennel attendant at a boarding kennel. There, I got to take care of all kinds of dogs and cats, and have plenty of experience with giving medication and caring for any specific needs. I just graduated college and am not working, so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. I have open availability, and work with your specific needs. Since I live in an apartment, I cannot bring any pets home. However, I can stop by multiple times a day for potting, feeding, and playing, or I can stay there if your dog needs more company.

“Karmella was so great with my kiddos. She gave me updates throughout my time away and sent plenty of photos and videos! I came home to an even cleaner house than when I left 10/10!!”

About: I've taken an active part in raising and caring for many different breeds and species of animals since I was young, both for my personal household and others. I have handled, fed, bathed, and trimmed the nails of young puppies up to 8 weeks old and helped to bottle nurse and raise kittens. I have cats in my household that I regularly take care of and experience handling, loving, and taking care of older dogs as well. I currently have a job, but I am available for house-sitting at the moment. I also have some flexibility in my schedule when given enough notice. I am very vigilant and eager to care for and play with any fur-babies, so I can keep a constant eye on them inside and outside of the house. I will also stay near them while they are out to make sure that no harm comes 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.

“She did a great job. My pets loved her and was super happy when I got home. Thanks so much.”

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors pets in the past while they’ve been out of town. Taking care of pets is something that I enjoy doing. I currently work full time and am looking for extra work mostly on the weekends but occasionally weekdays. Weekends I’m available at all times and weekdays I’m available mostly in the evenings. Wherever I’m providing care for pets, I make sure that they are in safe environments. Cleanliness is very important. I follow directions that I receive from the owners of the pets that I’m watching and give their pets attention.

About: I have been an avid animal lover and caretaker for all of my life. I am the friend everybody calls when they need someone they trust to ensure their pets are properly cared for. Animals are truly my passion and I cannot wait to meet your pets! I am currently working part-time and furthering my education so I have plenty of time in my week to help you with all of your pet care needs. Every pet owner has different expectations for the care of their furry friends. I am happy to work with you to decide on a gameplan that puts both you and your pets at ease.
