“I had the pleasure of having Jess take care of my pup for 5 days. From the very beginning, it was clear that she truly loves animals. Stella (Sweet Pea) was well taken care of, and Jess kept me informed with updates and photos to give me peace of mind while I was out of town. Stella (Sweet Pea) has separation anxiety, and Jess helped ease the transition, gradually introducing her to the other pets and helping her to feel more at ease. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and would definitely recommend Jess to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional pet care.”

“JR took such great care of our baby 😀 He is diligent on asking questions about Theos care that we felt he was like family. Could tell dogs bring him great joy and Theo loved all the attention. Thank you JR!”

“Wonderful pet sitter! Really helped us out last minute when our regular sitter canceled. Gave daily updates and put our minds at ease. Went above and beyond to make sure our kitties were well taken care of. Will definitely use her services again!”
“My husband and I had used another pet sitter a month or so ago, and that person was unavailable. We reached out to Darlene sort of last minute and she was so wonderful!! She understood our needs so quickly and adapted so well! We have a 8 year old cat who can be grumpy (mostly with the kitten), and she was able to gain his trust in no time. She came twice a day for a week to check in on our fur babies, and brought in packages that arrived as well. Everything was so seamless and allowed us to enjoy our time away. Thank you!”
“AMAZING! extremely communicative on my baby boy. i’m a stressed cat mom & she really relieved my stresses on leaving him while i was gone. super helpful & always made sure i knew what kind of day he had. 10/10 recommend.”
“Thank you to Hollie P. for once again taking fantastic care of our cats and home! I am always excited to read the detailed updates she writes and never worry about our pets as she gives them all individual attention.”
“Alexis was awesome! One of my pups is a diabetic and it was a huge relief to find someone with the knowledge and ability to care for him and give him his shot of insulin. Highly recommend Alexis!”
“Kayla has been our saving grace with our baby girl. She’s extremely reliable, quick to respond, sends pics of our girl while we’re away, and takes the best care of our girl! We’ve rebooked with Kayla several times and HIGHLY recommend her services.”
“Savanna is a wonderful house sitter! She took great care of my two picky cats that demanded lots of attention and effort to make them eat while I was on a business trip. My senior cat has to be fed wet food several times a day and has digestive issues, so I booked her for house sitting instead of drop-in visits. I left long instruction notes for when & how to feed him, and she kept every little detail I asked for and was always on time for the feeding schedule. She also sent me lots of pics and frequent updates. My apt was very clean and intact when I got back from the trip. Definitely recommend Savannah for any pet sitting & house sitting needs!”
“Caylei is the best! We love her, but more importantly, my temperamental, special needs cat LOVES her! We are so thankful to have found her. She has kept Tim multiple times and I always know he's in the best possible care.”
“Kassidy was awesome with our pets while we went on Vacation. She came every day and spent time with them and fed them while keeping me updated with photos which gave me peace knowing they were safe. Will be using her again”
“We have used Maya several times, she's great! We have an elderly cat that needs meds daily. It's so comforting to know when I'm not there I can rely on Maya to check on my old girl ♥️”
“Morgan was amazing! She was great with our cats—they loved her! She was super reliable, very communicative and very friendly! We loved having her as our sitter and will definitely book her again!”
“Alexis took care of my 3 fur babies for a week. It was the first time leaving them anywhere so I think I was more stressed than they were, but they were fine. She sent daily pictures as requested. They were well taken care of. I would suggest Alexis as a good reliable cat-sitter if you are in need of one.”
“Sahara was literally an angel who stepped in when a previously hired sitter no showed after I had already left town. She has been patient with my very shy and skittish senior cat who is now enjoying being petted by Sahara. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have extensive cat care experience through working in cat boarding, as a veterinary assistant, and caring for shelter cats. I’ve also fostered cats of all ages, including those with medical or behavioral needs. My background allows me to confidently handle medication, monitor health, and create a calm, stress-free environment for cats. I’m experienced with shy, senior, and special-needs cats, and always prioritize their comfort and well-being. My combination of medical training and compassionate care helps me meet each cat’s unique needs.
About: I’m a fun loving dog sitter. I love playing with dogs, walking with them, and giving them tummy rubs. Being lazy is another quality I’m good at when me and the dog(s) don’t have anything better to do. I really do love animals. Their like fluffy teddy bears. Dogs deserve all the love and attention in the world. Weather they act crazy or not If the dog misbehaved then I would lightly pop it on the nose and say no but if the dog was nice then I’d give it tummy rubs
About: Cats have always been my favorite animal. I have to kitty’s of my own. I know everything that cats can have and can’t have. I’ve worked in a nursing home and it made me realize cats are a lot like older people, delicate and stubborn. I have years of experience with cats so I can provide just what they need. From playing, feeding, giving medications, cleaning, and maybe even going on walks.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Apple Valley
“Chayna is amazing. Her dogs and mine had a great time together. Chayna has a beautiful property for the dogs to have fun. I highly recommend!!! My Bo was ready for a nap after his stay :)...”
About: Registered Veterinary Technician who works emergency medicine on the weekends looking for extra work through the week. I can’t stay at your house overnight, but your pet can come to mine. I can also do drop ins pretty regularly. I graduated college with a degree in Veterinary technology and passed my state boards. I work at an emergency clinic in Atlanta on the weekends and right now I’m free through the week. I can try my best to work out whatever you need help with. I’m skilled at giving medications and anything basic your pet may need in home, as well as lifesaving care due to any emergency. I can keep non child friendly cats in a different area, but dogs must be child friendly. I do have cats & ferrets, but they can be kept separately if your animals are not cat & small rodent friendly. I have 2 dogs as well. All of my animals are pet friendly with everything as many animals have come through my care fostering. I'm skilled in exotic pet care as well if necessary. I currently only work weekend overnights in the ER. So, I am home all week caring for my fur babies. As well as yours hopefully! I strive to care for anyone's else's pets exactly as I would my own. When they are with me, they are my babies too. I bring my ER compassion with me when I pet sit, in the ER the pets are without their owners & they are scared on top of being hurt. While my pet sits may not be hurt, I'm aware they could be nervous & unfamiliar. I try to treat them with the upmost compassion & kindness.
“Annette was great! Chevie, who’s normally wary of other dogs, immediately started playing with her dog and settled in well! I appreciated all the outdoor/dog park time Chevie got. She was tired and relaxed when we got home!”
About: I have years of hands-on pet care experience, and I’ve had dogs in my home for most of my life. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable approach and genuine love for caring for pets of all ages. I’m comfortable with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I understand how to meet each stage’s needs—from basic training and routine structure to gentle care and patience with older pets. I’m committed to keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy, and I treat every animal like my own. Clear communication, dependability, and attention to detail are always my priorities. Pet care is a regular part of my life and something I prioritize every day. I schedule my time around feeding, play, and attention for pets, making sure they get consistent care and companionship. On a weekly basis, I maintain clean living spaces, rotate toys, and spend quality time with each pet to keep them happy and engaged. Caring for animals is not just a task—it’s a routine I enjoy and take seriously, ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared-for at all times. I provide a safe, clean, and loving home environment for pets, with regular feeding, playtime, social interaction, and cozy spaces for rest and ultimate comfort.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and lifelong experience caring for them. I’ve been watching and caring for dogs since I was 10, and I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the same love and attention I’d give my own. I am a nurse but only work 3 days a week, and I’d love to help out on my days off! I have weekends off :) I provide safe and attentive care for walks and drop-in visits. I always follow your dog’s routine, ensure secure entry and exits, and keep them on a safe leash at all times. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy levels, and comfort, making sure they feel happy, calm, and well cared for while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and peace of mind are my top priorities
About: I don't have any professional experience, but I've grown up in a family that has housed a lot of dogs and cats since I was born. We've had 4 dogs and 7 cats from my early childhood until today, so while I did obviously have the rest of my family to assist with them, I've still had firsthand experience with a lot of different behaviors and habits of these pets and how certain traits or preferences vary between them. I finished college at UGA recently, so I'm currently at home full-time. Pet care would be pretty easy to fit into my weekly schedule. I always try to make sure I feed my cat her treats once a day around the same time, so consistent feeding and cleaning wouldn't be that much harder with additional pets. I am gone some evenings on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, but other than that my time is fully open to help your pets stay relaxed, happy, and healthy. My backyard has a fence, but it's currently old and unrepaired, so the gates cannot close properly, so any pets prone to running will be staying inside or on a leash. My house is very small, but my front and backyard are very spacious, ideal for pets that are uncomfortable in small spaces. My cat can be skittish around other animals, so I will need to keep her in a separate space from them, but my family's done that with many of our cats, so it will not be a problem for the client or their pets. My roommate stays inside most of the time, so but he's also very friendly and should not pose any issues for the pets.
About: I’ve had pets of all kinds for my entire life. I have always loved animals and grew up learning how to care for them. I also have rescue volunteer and foster experience so I have cared for all kinds of dogs! I’m currently working remote, so I am home all day to care for and spend time with your pets. I am also available for drop-ins and walks at any time! I am happy to do whatever you need to ensure that your pet is well cared for and entertained! I take my own dogs on walks every week!
About: I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs and cats, including large breeds and senior pets. I’m comfortable giving medications, keeping an eye on older pets, and cleaning up accidents if they happen outside their normal potty area. I’ve also cared for multiple pets at once, looked after regular clients long-term, and handled unexpected situations when they come up. I’m happy to do overnight stays, too. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I’m totally okay with that. If your dog needs a certain routine before bed, your cat has a specific way they like to eat, or you have some funny little ritual that keeps them happy, I’ll happily follow it. I’m also happy to keep you updated with pictures and messages while you’re away, so you always know how your pets are doing. Whether they need a long walk, some playtime, extra attention, or just someone to hang out with, I’m happy to match their energy. I’m especially patient with shy or nervous pets and will always let them warm up to me at their own pace. I’m also happy to help with things around the house while I’m there, like bringing in mail or taking out the trash. If something unexpected or concerning comes up, I’ll contact you right away and follow whatever instructions you’ve left for emergencies. Before a booking, I’m more than happy to meet you and your pets so you can show me their routine and I can get to know them a little. My goal is simple: keep your pets comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away, and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I have a very flexible schedule and can usually work around whatever your pets need. I’m happy to do mornings, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. I’m single with very few scheduling restrictions, so I’m able to be pretty flexible and accommodate different routines and last-minute needs when I can. My goal is to make things as easy and convenient as possible for both you and your pets. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priority. I’m happy to go over a clear emergency plan with you before a stay, including your preferred vet, emergency contact, and exactly what you’d like me to do if something unexpected happens. I currently don’t have any pets of my own at home. I recently lost my childhood pet, so having a companion around would honestly be something I’d really enjoy. Your pet would have my full attention and be treated like my own while they’re here. I’m also very aware of potential pet hazards, including toxic plants and unsafe household items, and I’m happy to follow any specific safety instructions or routines your pet needs.
“Adriana was so good with my Dunkin!!! She send me updates and pictures every hour. Dunkin was so comfortable with her and in her home. When we met Adriana, we felt at ease and happy because she has a beautiful home and we can tell that she's an animal lover having to take care of her pet Mambo and birds in her home. Definitely a 5 stars in our book.”
“Angela and her husband were absolutely amazing to my mini goldenoodle! I need somewhere or our dog to stay while painters painted inside our home. Angela is a gem! She was so easy to talk with and kept in touch with updates and photo. She went out of her way to make Millie feel comfortable and it worked. I think Millie would have moved in with her if I needed her to! I won’t hesitate to contact her again. She’s a superb choice for any person to wants/needs o leave their pet in a loving and caring home. Couldn’t think of anything she could do better❣️”
About: A Convenient, Fun Home Away From Home 🐾 . I have a pet-friendly home with a large, fenced-in yard, located just one mile from Downtown Athens and UGA. It’s a great setup for friendly, social dogs who enjoy having room to play, relax, and get some exercise during the day. I work from home, so I’m able to provide a comfortable home environment for dogs throughout the day. . And when your dog is ready for a little adventure, I’m happy to take them out for walks or outings at places like Dudley Park or Sandy Creek Park. 🐕🌳 . Why this works well 🏡 Large fenced yard — Plenty of room for your pup to play, explore, and burn off some energy. 💻 I work from home — Your dog gets to spend the day in a home environment rather than a traditional kennel or facility. 🌳 Adventure time — Dogs who enjoy getting out and about can join me for walks and adventures at Dudley Park, Sandy Creek Park, and other nearby spots. 📍 Super convenient location — Just one mile from Downtown Athens and UGA. Drop your pup off on your way to work, school, or downtown and pick them up whenever it works for you. 🔑 Flexible drop-off & pickup — I work from home, but if I happen to miss you, I have keyless entry makes it easy to come and go, even if I’m briefly away from home. ⏰ Daytime care — My preference is daytime stays between 7 AM and 9 PM, making this especially convenient for students and anyone working near downtown. Overnight stays can also be accommodated when needed. . A few important requirements 🐶 . To make sure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience: • Meet & greets are required before the first stay so we can make sure your dog is comfortable here and gets along well with other dogs. • I only accept friendly, social dogs who are comfortable around people and other dogs. • No aggressive dogs, please. • Dogs must be spayed/neutered and current on all vaccinations. Proof of vaccinations will be requested before the first stay.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Apple Valley
About: I've always loved taking in animals and taking care of them whether they were my own or not. I have been pet sitting for about 4 years now, and I volunteered at an animal clinic in Athens, GA for 6 months. At the clinic I frequently bathed, walked, feed, and took care of many different dogs and cats. I currently only work a couple days out of the month and also complete college online, so my schedule gives me open and flexible availability! Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are all prioritized when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I always take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs such as feeding schedules, medications, or behavioral preferences.

About: Over the years, my husband and I have had several pets, from cats to dogs to lizards to chinchillas. At one time we had 9 indoor cats. We have a soft heart and it’s difficult to turn away a stray. Any time we see a stray in our neighborhood, we do what we can to find the owner. Our two dogs have accompanied us on many day hikes and they both love the outdoors as much as we do. One of our dogs, Rosie, was a stray that we took in at 1-year-old. She is now 16. We adopted our other dog, Clayton, at the age of one. He is now 12. We have deeply loved all of our pets and look forward to new pets in the future. The bond between humans and animals can be so special. It is something I cherish. I look forward to caring for your fury family member! I am a Yoga Teacher and teach only a few classes per week.

I offer boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, and walks, with a secure fenced yard and plenty of attention for every pet. As the owner of three large dogs and a cat, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. My home is pet-friendly, family-oriented, and focused on making every animal feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Regular updates, photos, and personalized care come standard with every visit and stay. 🐾 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pet is staying in my home, needs a drop-in visit, or is joining me for a walk, I make their care a priority and ensure they receive the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I work hard to accommodate each pet’s individual needs and routine to help them feel comfortable and at home. 🐾 Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on providing a safe, loving, and stress-free experience. In my home, pets enjoy a secure fenced yard, plenty of supervision, playtime, and affection while being treated like part of the family. In your home, I strive to maintain your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and lots of attention, helping them stay comfortable and happy in their familiar environment.
“Hey again! Mike wanted to tip you more since you went above and beyond caring for Murray due to our travel delays, so.. thank you again! You're the best. Hope you had a great xmas and wishing you a very happy New Year!”

About: I have three years of pet care experience, including three years at a doggy daycare and boarding facility and two years as a veterinary assistant. I'm skilled in caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior animals needing extra attention. My veterinary background allows me to confidently handle medications, special diets, and recognize signs of illness. I’m also experienced with anxious or reactive pets and always prioritize their safety and comfort. What sets me apart is my blend of medical knowledge and compassionate, hands-on care. Pet care is an important and consistent part of my weekly routine. I currently work part-time as a veterinary assistant at a rescue hospital while completing my college degree in animal bioscience, which has deepened both my practical skills and understanding of animal health. Throughout college, I’ve also fostered cats, providing them with daily care, enrichment, and medical support as needed. Before that, I spent three years working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I helped manage feeding, playtime, and behavioral monitoring. Whether through work, fostering, or my studies, caring for animals has always been a central and rewarding part of my daily life. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable and sticking to their usual routines. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I’m experienced with administering medications if needed and keeping the home tidy and secure while you're away. For dog walks, I focus on safe, engaging walks tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so your pets feel safe and happy in their familiar environment.
About: I have been working with animals since I was 18 years old. I have several years of work experience with pet care, including veterinary medicine, boarding & daycare, and even pet grooming (baths, nails, ears, anal glands). I am very comfortable with cats and dogs of any size and temperament. I will even show special love and care to senior pets! I am more than happy to offer services throughout the week as well as the weekend. I am available as early as 6 am and can adjust how late I stay based on what you’re needing. I can care for your pets in the exact way you’re wanting. If they need more activity, I’m happy to offer playtime. If they are more low energy and like to lay around, I’d show them special love and attention in a relaxed manner such as cuddle time.

“I had the pleasure of having Jess take care of my pup for 5 days. From the very beginning, it was clear that she truly loves animals. Stella (Sweet Pea) was well taken care of, and Jess kept me informed with updates and photos to give me peace of mind while I was out of town. Stella (Sweet Pea) has separation anxiety, and Jess helped ease the transition, gradually introducing her to the other pets and helping her to feel more at ease. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and would definitely recommend Jess to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional pet care.”

About: Experienced. Compassionate. Dedicated to Your Dog. I’m a certified dog behaviorist with over 15 years of hands-on experience fostering, training, and caring for dogs of all backgrounds and needs. My experience includes basic to advanced training, puppies, special-needs dogs, working-line K9s, behavioral challenges, and so much more. I believe dogs thrive when they are given the right balance of structure, mental stimulation, physical activity, and comfort. During their stay, I focus on keeping each dog active, engaged, and happy while also creating a safe and comfortable environment where they can truly relax. My goal is simple: for every dog to return home happier, more confident, and better equipped than when they arrived. I treat every dog as an individual and tailor their care and training to their unique personality, needs, and goals. Because your dog deserves more than just a place to stay — they deserve an experience that helps them thrive. I’m a full-time dog trainer, which means I spend the majority of my time at home while caring for your pets. Your dog will receive hands-on attention, structure, and supervision throughout their stay. Every dog will have a minimum of three outings each day, including potty breaks, playtime, walks, and even some time soaking up the sun if that’s what they enjoy. I believe dogs should have the opportunity to stay active while also having time to relax and feel comfortable in their environment. I start by giving each dog individual one-on-one time so I can learn their personality, comfort level, and needs. Depending on your dog’s temperament and your preferences, they may also be paired with other dogs who are a good match. Group interaction is always based on the owner’s request and what is appropriate for each dog. Interested in park walks or additional outings during your dog’s stay? Please request this in advance. Park outings depend on the season, weather conditions, and whether the activity is appropriate for your individual dog. All outdoor activities are fully supervised. Your dog will also have a consistent daily routine, including scheduled meal times, potty breaks, activity, rest, and plenty of personal attention. For their protection and peace of mind, dogs are crated in their own individual, secure spaces during nighttime and any extended periods when they cannot be directly supervised. This helps prevent accidents, unwanted interactions, and unnecessary stress while maintaining a safe environment for every dog in my care. I also have interior security cameras throughout my home to provide an additional layer of supervision and security while your dog is staying with me.
