“Patty was the absolute best with our new puppy when our other sitter fell through. She was patient loving and kind and even had to take her to the vet while we were out of town. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Diana was wonderful. I appreciated that she accommodated our situation on short notice and made modifications so that my dog was as comfortable as possible. Appreciate her flexibility.”
“Becky was great with my dog Chevie! I really appreciated the pictures and updates while she was there. Chevie was very relaxed and content when we got home, will definitely use Becky’s services again!”
About: With eight 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 full-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.
“Xiomy took amazing care of my dog. She kept me updated every day with the sweetest photos, and I always felt at ease knowing my pup was happy and loved. Her dog Elma is incredibly gentle and became the perfect playmate — they bonded right away. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I truly recommend her!”
“Xionella was an angel. Our original sitter cancelled last minute and she was so quick to help us out. She's the only sitter who offered to meet at a dog park so our fur babies could warm up to her before we dropped them off. She was even kind enough to send us updates, photos, and video chat! I loved that she took them to the dog park, was extremely patient and understanding, and careful when administering our senior pup's meds and safety care. Will be back for future playdates with Groot!”
“Our dogs just had another great stay with Donna (& Jon). This was just one of a number of bookings, 2 of them lasted for the entire week, over the last few months. All stays have been exceptional. Donna is consistent in the excellent quality of care, her communication via text, Rover messages and by sending pictures during every stay. Our dogs appear truly happy every time we drop them off. They know that they'll be loved and sufficiently spoiled at their 'home away from home'. We're pleased to have found Donna and look forward to continuing to be a very satified repeat customer.”
“Michelle and her family treated my Po and Basil as if they were their own! It was so great knowing my two were safe and sound, especially with her expertise in the vet med field. Will absolutely book again!”
“Love this laid back atmosphere where my very needy & spoiled lab can wonder in and out and all around this beautiful house and yet still b safe and contained. Very relaxed vibe with a very sweet caretaker. My boy has had 2 day visits and a 2 day/night over nighter and always comes back happy and tired. I would highly recommend this sitter.”
“Kendall & Darbie were fantastic! Communication was excellent and they were super friendly and accommodating! We will book with them again the next time we're in Athens!”
“As the others before have said, they are an extraordinary couple offering an extraordinary experience for pups. Exactly the haven and care I always want my dog to have. They are a dream, team.”
“Luciana was incredible!! She went way above and beyond to take care of my cat Camille for an extended stay while I was overseas. Communication was excellent, and Camille was clearly very well taken care of.”

“I have three cats, and one of them still requires special care. Ilana was wonderful, honest, and incredibly caring with all of them. I left them in her care for four days, and she was always willing to help and went above and beyond. I truly recommend her, and if I ever need a pet sitter again, I won’t hesitate to contact her.”
“Samantha did a great job with our kitties! She was patient and willing to add more visits to ease our minds while we were away. I appreciate you. I would recommend her to anyone anxious about leaving their pets behind while on vacation.”
About: I fostered a cat in college. After he went to his forever home, there was a Smudge-sized hole in my heart (Smudge was my foster cat). So what did I do? I went out and got two kittens! Ivy and Poppy are my prides and joy.
“Mallory was very friendly, and my cats loved her. She took great care of our house while we were gone and brought in packages that arrived. She sent photos and videos of the kitties, and she was easy to communicate with. I will definitely ask her to petsit again.”
About: Animals have always had my heart. I truly believe every pet deserves to be spoiled with love, kindness, and the best care possible. ImI'll treat your furry family member like they're my own and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. Almost all of my friends have multiple cats and I have watched them many times. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable from the moment we meet.
About: I am highly experienced with cats who require more than just food and water. My youngest, Olive, has a heart condition, so I am intimately familiar with the level of vigilance, patience, and precision required for cats with medical complexities. Whether it’s strict medication schedules, monitoring energy levels, or recognizing the smallest change in behavior, I provide a level of medical attentiveness that most sitters simply don’t have.
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: I have had dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. In addition to my personal experience, I worked at a kennel for three years, where I cared for up to 10 dogs each day. My responsibilities included feeding, bathing, cleaning kennels, supervising playtime, and making sure every dog was safe, comfortable, and happy. Through both my personal and professional experience, I've become comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I also regularly care for my family's cat while they're on vacation, ensuring they're fed, comfortable, and given plenty of attention while their owners are away.
About: I fully respect that cats operate on their own terms, and honestly… I love that for them. 😌 Whether your cat is a social butterfly, a professional napper, or prefers to observe me from the top of the refrigerator for three days before deciding I’m acceptable, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Fresh food, clean litter, playtime, cuddles (if they approve), and plenty of patience are all part of the package.
“kathryn was so great with mitsi! she left me a detailed review of their time together (two walks in one day) and mitsi looked super happy in the photos. i’ll definitely be reaching out to kathryn in the future for times i need care for mitsi!”
About: I can walk your dog enough to play, take him to a park if necessary and be attentive to his needs everything with responsability thanks I really like animals. Right now I have free time and I can take care of pets for people who need their pet to be taken care of a little more. I have a fenced garden where he can play and also a park nearby for dogs and my French bulldog likes to share with other dogs.
About: I am a young energetic person who has had animals in my family since I came into this world. I have been animal sitting for friends and family since I can remember and have cared for all different types of animals. I throughly enjoy time with animals and wouldn't trade that time for anything. I truly feel like it’s healing for the soul! Not only do I care for dogs immensely, but I am an all around animal/critter/reptile lover. I have cared for dogs, cats, bearded dragons, leopard geckos, rabbits, kangaroos you name it! I hope you consider me, not only am I sure I can provide an exceptional service, but it would be my absolute pleasure. I currently work full-time Monday-Thursday and have full availability to care for you pet Friday-Sunday! I can do drop in visits in the evening throughout the week and multiple visits starting Fridays-Sunday. I can tailor my service based off what you feel your pet needs! The only non-negotiable is there will be lots of belly rubs and all around love.
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: I’ve loved animals and pets my entire life. I’ve taken care of all sorts from large dogs to small, cats, fish, and livestock. I grew up on a farm and have been taking care of animals as long as I can remember. I’m an avid fly fisher and student at UGA and my partner is a full time dog groomer. Let us make your pet safe, comfortable, and happy as can be! I’m a full time student in an academic research field, so between research, studying, and class, I’m very free and would love to fill that time with furry friends. As of right now I’m home all day for summer! Pets in our household are always played with, comfortable, well fed and have an eye on them 24/7. Beyond anything else I will ensure your pet is safe and comfortable. The last thing you want while out of town is to worry about your little friends
“She did an excellent job. This was our first time using a service of this nature - so glad it went well. Looking forward to reaching out to Kaitlyn in the future to care for our pets needs. I like that she was close by. And the format via rover - checking and time management- pictures were sent - really nice to get that kind of interaction.”

“Joanna & Sebastian were absolutely wonderful! They were very quick to respond to our last minute request and were super patient with our nervous dog. They sent us updates and photos so I felt very comfortable! I would definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Gingi was quick to respond, and my pup Pi loved his time playing with her and her dog Twink! She sent us lots of photo updates showing how much fun Pi was having which helped me relax while I was out of town.”
About: Your pet's new favorite human (after you, of course I bring veterinary experience and a foster's heart to every walk, drop-in, and boarding stay. I'm comfortable with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from high-energy pups to shy or sensitive pets who need a little extra patience. Whether we're out for a fun, structured walk or relaxing at home, I focus on keeping your pet safe, happy, and stress-free. I pay close attention to behavior and body language, so your pet feels understood and cared for every step of the way. I'm also confident with basic handling, medication routines, and keeping a clean, calm environment. Safety is always my priority-secure leashes, awareness of surroundings, and thoughtful care. You'll get plenty of updates, photos, and honest communication, so you always know how your pet is doing. With me, your pet gets more than just care-they get attention, patience, and lots of love. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I have worked in a full service veterinary hospital, and in my home, someone is always present—so pets get constant supervision, playtime, and companionship. I keep routines consistent and tailor care to each pet. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be part of our daily life. Safety and trust are my top priorities, especially when pets are staying in my home. I create a calm, structured environment where they can settle in comfortably and feel secure. My home features a fully fenced acre where dogs can safely run, play, sunbathe, or relax in the shade. I’m experienced managing multiple dogs and cats, so I carefully supervise all interactions and match energy levels to keep everyone safe and stress-free. I stick closely to your pet’s routine—including feeding schedules, medications, and preferences—so their stay feels familiar and consistent. With hands-on veterinary experience, I’m also able to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health and respond quickly if needed. Whether your dog loves to play or prefers a quieter space, I adjust to their needs and let them settle in at their own pace. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you can relax knowing your pet is in a safe, attentive, and loving environment.
“Wow, Nikki and Tim are amazing ? ! All of the pictures and the genuine attention and sense of fun Nikki offers warmed our hearts! I swear our little pup was sad to leave ?. We feel so lucky so have discovered this gem of a sometime-home for our buddy!”
“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: After the passing of my senior dog, Fezzik, I felt the need to share my care for pets with others in my community. With experience volunteering at animal shelters and caring for senior animals, I can be the attentive caregiver your furry companion needs! I currently am starting my career in online teaching and content creation, which means I work from home and have a flexible schedule. With frequent walks already built into my schedule, I am a good fit for pets of any activity level! I live in a gated community with ample space for leashed walks and time in the grass for pets who are boarding. I maintain a clean, second-story apartment which includes a balcony and dog bed. I have my own transportation for at-home visits as well.
“Angela is very responsive, sends plenty of updates during your dog's stay, and made our pup feel right at home! Plus she has an encyclopedic knowledge of all things canine. She was even able to accommodate a *very* last minute schedule change with no issues. I would absolutely recommend her for any of your doggy related needs!”

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. My goal is to make dog care easy and convenient for you while giving your pup a safe, social place to hang out, get some exercise, and have a little fun while you're away. 🐕❤️ . Come and go as you need — let's make this work for you and your pup!
About: I’ve loved animals ever since i was young. From giving puppies baths to taking them on walks, animals have always been a huge part of my life.. and i would love to take care of yours<3 I’m currently at home all week… i have extra time on my hands and would love to spend it with animals and that could be your dog or cat! I have a small fenced backyard and a quiet community that is great for walks:) we also have a screened in back porch that our cat loves to lounge in..
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 have years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My background includes EDD K9 handling, obedience training, working bird hunting dogs, and caring for high-energy working breeds that require structure and exercise. I live on 14.9 acres in Madison County, Georgia, providing dogs with a safe, spacious environment to play, explore, and relax. I understand canine behavior, body language, and the importance of maintaining routines that help dogs feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your dog needs active playtime, supervised socialization, or a calm place to stay, I provide dependable, attentive care as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time profession, not a side job. My daily routine is built around the dogs in my care, ensuring they receive attention, exercise, potty breaks, feeding, and supervision throughout the day. Living on 14.9 acres in Madison County, I provide a safe, spacious environment where dogs can enjoy structured outdoor time and plenty of individual attention. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a calm, relaxed atmosphere, I tailor their care to their specific needs. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their dogs are being cared for by someone whose primary focus is their safety, comfort, and happiness. Dogs enjoy a structured daily schedule that includes supervised outdoor exercise, potty breaks, feeding according to their owner’s instructions, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one interaction. Each dog has access to a clean, secure run for rest and quiet time, while also receiving multiple opportunities throughout the day for exercise and socialization when appropriate. Because we accept only a limited number of dogs, we can closely monitor behavior, appetite, activity levels, and overall well-being. This personalized approach helps reduce stress, creates a calmer environment, and allows us to provide the level of care and attention that dogs deserve while their families are away. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and structured home-away-from-home experience where every dog is treated like a valued guest rather than just another boarding reservation.
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: While in my care, you can be sure your pup will be spoiled with undivided love + attention. Whether we are lounging in the yard, out for a walk, or getting belly rubs on the bed, your fur-baby and I will be sure to send you photos throughout their stay to show you how much fun we are having! I have a dog and cat (and daughter!) of my own and my husband and I work from home full time, so your pet will never be lonely. Visitors will be treated the same as family members. They will receive lots of attention and have full access to our home and fenced in yard

In a client’s home, I stick to their usual routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and anything else they’re used to—so they don’t feel stressed while their owner is away. I also make sure to keep things clean and send updates with photos. If I’m caring for pets in my apartment, I make sure they have a safe, clean space and get plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I pay attention to each pet’s personality and what they need so they feel happy and relaxed.

About: For as long as I remember, animals have been the only constant defining piece of the puzzle that is my life. I have personally raised dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, birds, hamsters, goats and a lamb! Training, raising and saving animals gives me hope and a purpose. My experience goes all the way back to my first dog at the age of 9, who passed at the old age of 16.5years old in 2025. I have ridden and worked with horses for many years, as well as started my dog training journey in my later teens, turning it into my profession ever since. My goal is to provide top quality care to pet owners, as I understand the trust it takes to leave your pets behind and do not take that responsibility lightly. I know how I want my animals treated should I ever have to leave them, so I strive to give that same (picky) care to other owners. I have boarded & trained dogs for over 4 years and plan to open a boarding facility for both canines & equines in the future. I am a stay at home mom so I will usually be home more than 90% of the time to spend with your pet, with three dogs of my own, one cat and our farm animals. Both my inside dogs are crate trained, house trained, and one of them has his Canine Good Citizen Cert. the other is a young female working on her mannerisms but very friendly. Our third pup is our outside guardian livestock dog. We have four beautiful acres for lots of play and exercise. Most of the acreage is fenced, and our house is gated off. I am able to crate dogs if necessary, but am home most of the time so crating usually only at night time if applicable. They will be able to take as many potty breaks needed, get lots of play time, of course attention, and have access to water all day long (unless otherwise specified). Note* If they are not good with cats, that is not a problem as mine stays separated from any dogs beside my own.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 5 years now, from dogs to frogs! Some of my own and some from others I give each animal the love and care that they deserve. I love being outdoors in any climate whether that be hiking, jogging, or simply sitting in a field. I’d be more than happy to burn some energy with your fur baby! I work part time during the night which leaves lots of free time during the mornings to walk, feed, and check in on your pets. I occasionally have classes during the week, so I’ll already be up bright and early! I will provide your pets with loving attention, frequent walks and bathroom breaks, even playtime. I am sure to create a safe environment for your fur babies, if that means a mini play date or introduction session before sitting I am down for it all. I will stay loyal to the given instructions with proper feeding times and administer medication if/when needed.
About: Animals have always had my heart. I truly believe every pet deserves to be spoiled with love, kindness, and the best care possible. I have an elderly dog of my own and have raised several puppies, so I understand the extra patience and care that both senior dogs and little ones need. I'll treat your furry family member like they're my own and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable from the moment we meet. Also, I am a runner. I love to run and if any of your dogs need extra exercise I would love to get one of my runs done with your dog! I am a college student looking for work that I love. Caring for pets doesn’t even feel like working. I will fit in as much as I can as my schedule allows! For sitting or drop-ins, I like to ask as many questions as possible and maybe meet the pet beforehand so that they feel comfortable.
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: Do you need a dependable pet sitter to care for your animals while you’re away? I’m here to help! I love animals of all kinds and am happy to care for dogs, cats, farm animals, and exotics in the comfort of their own home. I enjoy following detailed routines and instructions to ensure your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. I have a strong understanding of canine & feline behavior and know the subtle signs that signal when something isn’t right & have reliable transportation in the case of an emergency. I bring over 4 years of hands-on experience from the University of Georgia Veterinary Teaching Hospital, working in the emergency room. Your pets’ safety and well-being are my top priority! About this sitter: I am 27 years old, and I have pets that are like my children! I have had a variety of animals over my life time & want to meet your loving babies as well! Why I love dog sitting There's always something else to learn about them because every pet is different! I enjoy creating a safe, playful, and nurturing environment where dogs feel happy and loved. Meet my pets I currently own 2 dogs, a cat, & a bearded dragon. I have a staffy, chi-mix and a curious tuxedo along with my spikey friend of a lizard! Don't worry! They are not left alone when I am away! My experience administering medication: I am also comfortable & experienced in expressing bladders, post-op surgery care, administering various medication including insulin, and more! I understand the importance and keeping meds on their specified schedules as well as knowing when to give your pooch their anxiety meds if needed! I have quite a bit of free time for the time being, & would love to spend time with the fur babies! I currently have been looking for extra work along with pet sitting as well! I will try to stick to their routines as much as possible. Any written-out instructions &/or safety instructions are a plus if things are done in a certain way or order!
About: I have always had a pet for as long as I can remember and I have loved them all dearly and enjoyed their company and taking care of them. Friends have had me check in on and care for their pets while they are busy with school or work. I enjoy meeting pets of all sizes and breeds and giving them the care and love I would give to my own pets. I am currently working toward my Master’s at the University of Georgia in Exercise Science. A typical day consists of me going to my internship for a couple of hours, class, and then internship again in the evening for a couple more hours. I have plenty of free time in the morning and afternoon to hangout by the pool, workout, do homework, or take care of some furry friends! I make sure to respect every client's home and belongings when providing care to pets. I aim to make sure the space is clean and am happy to clean up any pet related accidents. I provide high-quality care to any pet and make sure to follow instructions correctly.
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: My family is a big dog family with two Great Danes I’m used to big more heavy set animals so I do not scare easy. I have a work from home job so I am well fit to give around the clock potty breaks and walks whenever it is needed. We have multiple cats in our household so I am used to regular feedings, treats, playtime and providing all the attention your pet may need!
About: I have been around animals my whole life and I love them! I have a 4 year old kitty named Bunny and she is everything to me. My best friend has a mini Australian shepherd that is very friendly and I love being around him. I also have watched my brother and sister in law’s dogs for 2 years now. They ranged from having 4-8 dogs at different points and I would love to go stay with them, feed them, and get to play with their fluffy selves! I am working limited hours at this time, so I am available weekdays 8 a.m.- 2 p.m. and 5:45 p.m.- 9 p.m., and also weekends any time! I will monitor the animals needs and be there in any way I am needed. I will take them outside as much as directed, feed them, make sure they have water, and love on them!
About: I can walk your dog enough to play, take him to a park if necessary and be attentive to his needs everything with responsability thanks I really like animals. Right now I have free time and I can take care of pets for people who need their pet to be taken care of a little more. I have a fenced garden where he can play and also a park nearby for dogs and my French bulldog likes to share with other dogs.
About: I’ve loved animals and pets my entire life. I’ve taken care of all sorts from large dogs to small, cats, fish, and livestock. I grew up on a farm and have been taking care of animals as long as I can remember. I’m an avid fly fisher and student at UGA and my partner is a full time dog groomer. Let us make your pet safe, comfortable, and happy as can be! I’m a full time student in an academic research field, so between research, studying, and class, I’m very free and would love to fill that time with furry friends. As of right now I’m home all day for summer! Pets in our household are always played with, comfortable, well fed and have an eye on them 24/7. Beyond anything else I will ensure your pet is safe and comfortable. The last thing you want while out of town is to worry about your little friends
About: We don't have children of our own so our dogs are our family and we'll treat your dogs like family. My husband and I have taken care of dogs since we were little. We love going for walks and just spending time with them. Your dogs will receive lots of love and attention while your gone. I'm currently working from home full-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups. When my husband gets home from working the day shift, we're always in the back yard doing activities with the dogs. We have a huge fenced in back yard and three wonderful fur babies to keep your dog company. We don't let the dogs outside in the yard unsupervised. We can also crate your dog if it's needed.

I got my first kitten when I was around 5 years old! ever since I’ve had an amazing connection with all animals but especially cats more than anything. I have watched over dogs many of times.

I am so excited to learn more things about animals as I watch over them. I have only ever pet sit once through rover, but I can assure you I have plenty of experience and knowledge when it comes to animals! Your dog/cat would be so lucky to have me watch over them:) I currently have no full time job! which gives me more time for your fur babies..

I would care for your fur babies in your home the same as if you were there. provided you leave me with a schedule of your pets day!
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: I am a young energetic person who has had animals in my family since I came into this world. I have been animal sitting for friends and family since I can remember and have cared for all different types of animals.

About: I grew up with all kinds of pets and have provided short and long term pet care for friends, neighbors, and clients for years!

I have all the time in the world for your pet and would love to spend time with them as I acclimate to my new city! I’ve provided both short and long term house sitting services in the past.

“Patty was the absolute best with our new puppy when our other sitter fell through. She was patient loving and kind and even had to take her to the vet while we were out of town. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Diana was wonderful. I appreciated that she accommodated our situation on short notice and made modifications so that my dog was as comfortable as possible. Appreciate her flexibility.”
“Becky was great with my dog Chevie! I really appreciated the pictures and updates while she was there. Chevie was very relaxed and content when we got home, will definitely use Becky’s services again!”
“Xiomy took amazing care of my dog. She kept me updated every day with the sweetest photos, and I always felt at ease knowing my pup was happy and loved. Her dog Elma is incredibly gentle and became the perfect playmate — they bonded right away. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I truly recommend her!”
“Xionella was an angel. Our original sitter cancelled last minute and she was so quick to help us out. She's the only sitter who offered to meet at a dog park so our fur babies could warm up to her before we dropped them off. She was even kind enough to send us updates, photos, and video chat! I loved that she took them to the dog park, was extremely patient and understanding, and careful when administering our senior pup's meds and safety care. Will be back for future playdates with Groot!”
“Michelle and her family treated my Po and Basil as if they were their own! It was so great knowing my two were safe and sound, especially with her expertise in the vet med field. Will absolutely book again!”
“Love this laid back atmosphere where my very needy & spoiled lab can wonder in and out and all around this beautiful house and yet still b safe and contained. Very relaxed vibe with a very sweet caretaker. My boy has had 2 day visits and a 2 day/night over nighter and always comes back happy and tired. I would highly recommend this sitter.”
“Kendall & Darbie were fantastic! Communication was excellent and they were super friendly and accommodating! We will book with them again the next time we're in Athens!”
“As the others before have said, they are an extraordinary couple offering an extraordinary experience for pups. Exactly the haven and care I always want my dog to have. They are a dream, team.”
“Russel is amazing! Bacon stayed with Russel for 4 days vs and one of those days we picked him up for a quick doggy play date. When we returned Bacon was ecstatic to see Russel again! Russel even had him dressed in the Jammie’s we brought for him on a cold morning. Russel went above & beyond & that was very clear. Russel is quick to respond & sends lots of pictures!”
“Berkeley was immediately excited when he arrived to stay with Annette, despite being such an anxious dog. There were a few other dogs for him to play with and a great fenced in yard to run around in. They even took a trip to the dog park. I’m thankful I found Annette to provide such a safe and loving place for him to stay while we were away!”
“Susanna did an awesome job. I was able to enjoy my vacation much more knowing my pup was in good hands. Regular updates and she took my rather detailed instructions to heart. Would definitely use again.”
