“When I say that Caylei is amazing, I really mean that. My cat, Tim, has special needs and can be temperamental/ really grumpy, at times. He has been fired from several boarding facilities for his bad attitude. Well, Caylei was willing to take him on and not only that, her care and patience was rewarded with a super happy cat all week! I am truly so thankful to have found her. She sent me updates, photos, and videos while I was gone, which really helped ease my mind. We have a few other trips planned that I wasn't sure we would be able to take if Tim misbehaved for her, too, but everything went significantly better than I ever hoped. Caylei is smart, caring, knowledgeable, and very competent in pet care, even in special circumstances. I can't recommend her enough.”
“Gingi was the perfect person to watch my dogs for a week while I was out of town. Her calm attitude put my dogs (and my anxiety) right at ease. I was able to meet beforehand and let my dogs get to know her and her home. Her home is great, with a big fenced yard. My dogs loved her lounge chair on the back porch. She sent pictures, videos, and messages everyday to show how well they were doing. I definitely recommend her if you need any dogsitting or boarding, and I will definitely let my dogs stay with her if I need to go out of town soon! Thank you Gingi!!”
“Xiomy was great with our boy Gunner. I got daily pics of him playing with her dog and status updates on how Gunner was adjusting in my absence. I will most definitely book again. Thanks Xiomy.”
“Chayna was very accommodating to our needs & she was wonderfully welcoming & attentive to our dog, who is not accustomed to other dogs or being at a sitter. The large fenced outdoor play area. & the indoor rest/sleeping area are well put together ~ a great place for pups to be well cared for. We felt comfortable leaving our pup & are grateful for Chayna's caring help🐶!”
“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!”
“Absolutely wonderful!! So kind, sent us pictures every day and was very communicative! Our pup came back so sleepy since he had so much fun! He misses being with her pup too! definitely highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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!”
“Emily was very patient with our stubborn English Bulldog. Her space was comfortable for our dog’s needs— added bonus of a fenced backyard. Emily is kind, compassionate, and responsive to communications. Would 100% recommend and use her services again.”
“Went from worrying if my dog was going to miss me when I’m gone to does my dog like her sitter more than me! Genevieve loves hanging with Adam and it’s evident she’s well cared and loved when she is with him!”
“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.”
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.
“Xionella was absolutely wonderful to our baby! We received a ton of pictures and videos all weekend, making us feel very secure that he was in good hands. The communication was clear and consistent, keeping us updated and respecting any instructions or boundaries we gave. Our dog came home happy and very tired! He was clearly loved and played with throughout his time with Xionella!”
“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!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets and pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was young. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including larger breeds such as Pit Bulls, XL American Bullies, and Cane Corsos. I’m comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and safety. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just lots of attention and affection, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I promise to be dependable, responsible, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I am currently a college student home for the summer and do not have another job, which allows me to offer a very flexible schedule. I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding. If your pet is staying with me, I will be home for most of the day aside from occasional errands or appointments. This allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, exercise, and companionship to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I live in a house with a yard and access to a dog park within my neighborhood, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, and enrichment. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions provided by owners and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I will provide attentive care tailored to their individual needs.

“Prana was amazing! One of my kitties got herself locked under the house next door and Prana made an extra trip and was resourceful enough to figure out where she was, find the key, and get her home safe and sound in record time. My kitties loved her and even though I was out of town for two weeks they were super relaxed and happy when I got home. Me and my kitties recommend Prana!”

I grew up in a close-knit community where friends and community members solicited me countless times for pet-sitting services. I have provided services ranging from check-ins and walks, stay-in visits for days at a time, and boarding. I have cared for pets of all shapes and sizes, including elderly pets and pets with disabilities. I have a flexible schedule that I will make work around you, and I will always commit to providing the most loving care for your pets. I’m currently working only part-time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I do not have a car, so transportation is mostly by foot or metro, but I’m happy to go just about anywhere for a pet. I am very patient with pets, and like to give them plenty of time to establish trust with me when meeting for the first time. I like to work with incentives such as treats and verbal cues.
“Olivia followed all instructions and took amazing care of my cat. We had a longer stay, and she and Garfi became very close. She communicated well with us throughout and even looked after our house while we were away. We will definitely book her again!”
“Leah and Zoe did a great job checking on and taking care of my cat Max. They were very responsive and accommodating. I would definitely recommend them for any of your pet care needs!”
About: I have had a soft spot for cats for as long as I can remember!

I also have lots of experience with senior pets who need more medical care (giving shots, pills, and topical medication)!

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.

“Absolutely amazing! My dog is so clingy with me, but she was so excited to see Angela on the second day ?. My giant mastiff can be a handful, but Angela is a confident and knowledgeable 'dog person' so Penny's exuberance didn't phase her. I loved that Angela took Penny to a dog park each day too. I also REALLY appreciated the clear and consistent communication; Angela was quick to respond to any texts I sent and gave me updates (with the most adorable pics!) throughout the day. My dog was healthy, happy, and tired each time I picked her up from Angela-- who could ask for more?”
“Best EVER! Nikki sends such fun pictures and videos, and is so understanding when our schedule is weird (or last-minute!) We can't even say the names "Tom and Nikki" at home, because our pup will run and wait in the car!”

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: My wife(Emerald) and I have experience as professional dog/house sitters. For two years we traveled with our own mobile dog grooming business. We are confident in our abilities to care for elderly and young dogs. We recently took care of a liter of 6 pups and momma till they were ready to be in their forever homes. We really feel in tune with the behaviors of dogs and also enjoy cats too! We love taking walks and hiking. We are available full time since we make our own schedule. Dogs are such unique creatures and we really enjoy getting to learn about them and spend time loving on them. We would love to come play, walk, feed, and care for your pet. We have spent a lot of time with multiple dogs a day so we feel very qualified to look after your special companion. We also have special leash training skills of how to walk dogs. Hope to meet you and your dog!! We work from home, we consider ourselves the utility players, meaning when someone needs us we are available. So we will be able to be with your pets for long periods of the day. We will be with your pets in the comfort of their home and if it something you and the pets are comfortable with we can take them with us to local places.
About: I have raised kittens and puppies to adults. Pets make me feel happy and complete. I enjoy spending time with them either playing or walking. I want them to feel loved and secure. I have loved various dogs on my own. 2 of my dogs have been given K-9 off leash training. I understand how to be firm and alert when walking in public. I have worked at my friend's Boarding and Training business, The Training Spot on Nashville TN. I have been in charge of 25+ dogs to feed, play, and provide medication. There are always a variety of breeds and I have learned how to work with them all. I don't mind staying overnight. My fur babies will not be left alone as my husband will be home with them. I have purchased my own Pet Insurance which goes above for coverage than Rover. I have a very flexible schedule to be able to provide excellent service and attention to your fur babies. I am very good with time management and communication. I ask specific questions so that the fur babies keep their routine and stress free while I take care of them while the parents are away.
“Wow, just Amazing! Olivia was attentive and followed directions to a T. She was extremely diligent and gave my sweet boy extra lovings.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old! Growing up I have owned 3 dogs and 6 cats for most of my life. I also was a trainer for the guide dog foundation while I was in college so I have extensive training in dog training. I just love getting to spend my time with sweet pets and hope to get to spend time with your furry friend too! I am a teacher and am looking for some extra money on the side! I love pets and want to spend some extra time with them! I am free to care for your pet day and night! I have a fenced in yard at my house that the pets are free to run and play in but if not I love taking dogs on walks to help get that energy out! I also have 2 loving dogs at home that love to play and meet new friends.
About: From lizards to dogs & cats, I have been taking care of pets ever since I can remember. In recent years, I have cared for my family's elder dog Molly. Along side our puppy (whose not so puppy anymore) Bella. I am currently enrolled at The University of Georgia, where I live and care for 2 very fun cats, Juno and Ziggy. There are many times where I am the first to go to whenever any family member or friend needs care for their pet/pets. I am currently in the process of getting a part time job, so I am available at nearly all times of the day to care for pets. I will adhere to any instruction given to the dot. Whether it be closing doors at specific times or only letting them roam in a specific area, no matter the rules to care for a pet in or around ones home, I will follow exactly.
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was in my early teenage years. What began as a hobby turned into a life long passion. I have taken care of everything from horses to peacocks, lizards to birds, and so many in between. Whatever animal you have rest assured that my biggest priority is your peace of mind while working, traveling, or exploring. I have an animal science degree from Berry College. My most recent work experience was as the assistant manager of a doggie daycare on St Simons Island prior to moving to Athens! My time at this training focused doggie daycare gave me experience with dogs of all social levels, ages, breeds, and dispositions. I look forward to providing exceptional care to you and your pets! I am most available Monday-Fridays. I will eventually be starting a job working long hours on the weekends, but with enough notice can take off to be with your pet. I live with roommates and multiple pets so I would be most comfortable going to your home, as I don't feel comfortable bringing any additional animals into my home.

“Ms Becky was absolutely Amazing with my pup Cali, and Cali enjoyed been there with Ms Becky. The one thing Cali had to adapt to Ms Becky until she was comfortable it’s turned out to be an amazing experience for her. I definitely recommend Ms Becky. She definitely took good care of Cali for a weekend while my husband and I was attending an event out of town🤗 Thank you again Ms Becky, We definitely will be back😃”
“our second time: i just love how they treat him like their family dog. just how we do it at our home. he’s always so much more well behaved then when we left him. thanks diana and family. love yall dog sitting for us.”
“When I say that Caylei is amazing, I really mean that. My cat, Tim, has special needs and can be temperamental/ really grumpy, at times. He has been fired from several boarding facilities for his bad attitude. Well, Caylei was willing to take him on and not only that, her care and patience was rewarded with a super happy cat all week! I am truly so thankful to have found her. She sent me updates, photos, and videos while I was gone, which really helped ease my mind. We have a few other trips planned that I wasn't sure we would be able to take if Tim misbehaved for her, too, but everything went significantly better than I ever hoped. Caylei is smart, caring, knowledgeable, and very competent in pet care, even in special circumstances. I can't recommend her enough.”
“Gingi was the perfect person to watch my dogs for a week while I was out of town. Her calm attitude put my dogs (and my anxiety) right at ease. I was able to meet beforehand and let my dogs get to know her and her home. Her home is great, with a big fenced yard. My dogs loved her lounge chair on the back porch. She sent pictures, videos, and messages everyday to show how well they were doing. I definitely recommend her if you need any dogsitting or boarding, and I will definitely let my dogs stay with her if I need to go out of town soon! Thank you Gingi!!”
“Xiomy was great with our boy Gunner. I got daily pics of him playing with her dog and status updates on how Gunner was adjusting in my absence. I will most definitely book again. Thanks Xiomy.”
“Chayna was very accommodating to our needs & she was wonderfully welcoming & attentive to our dog, who is not accustomed to other dogs or being at a sitter. The large fenced outdoor play area. & the indoor rest/sleeping area are well put together ~ a great place for pups to be well cared for. We felt comfortable leaving our pup & are grateful for Chayna's caring help🐶!”
“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!”
“Absolutely wonderful!! So kind, sent us pictures every day and was very communicative! Our pup came back so sleepy since he had so much fun! He misses being with her pup too! definitely highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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!”
“Emily was very patient with our stubborn English Bulldog. Her space was comfortable for our dog’s needs— added bonus of a fenced backyard. Emily is kind, compassionate, and responsive to communications. Would 100% recommend and use her services again.”
“Went from worrying if my dog was going to miss me when I’m gone to does my dog like her sitter more than me! Genevieve loves hanging with Adam and it’s evident she’s well cared and loved when she is with him!”
“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.”
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.
“Xionella was absolutely wonderful to our baby! We received a ton of pictures and videos all weekend, making us feel very secure that he was in good hands. The communication was clear and consistent, keeping us updated and respecting any instructions or boundaries we gave. Our dog came home happy and very tired! He was clearly loved and played with throughout his time with Xionella!”
“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!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets and pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was young. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including larger breeds such as Pit Bulls, XL American Bullies, and Cane Corsos. I’m comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and safety. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just lots of attention and affection, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I promise to be dependable, responsible, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I am currently a college student home for the summer and do not have another job, which allows me to offer a very flexible schedule. I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding. If your pet is staying with me, I will be home for most of the day aside from occasional errands or appointments. This allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, exercise, and companionship to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I live in a house with a yard and access to a dog park within my neighborhood, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, and enrichment. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions provided by owners and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I will provide attentive care tailored to their individual needs.
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
“Bailey was great, she updated and sent photos everyday. it was difficult for me to leave my babies and she made the process seamless- drop off, pick up and everything in between. she was very reassuring. will definitely recommend to others, and if ever needed, i’d rebook with her. she was great!!”
