Highly-rated overnight sitters - Echo Brook Park
“Diana did such a wonderful job with our pup. I swear he’s learned some new things. He doesn’t nip as much. He’s waiting before eating. Trainer and sitter in one. Thanks for taking us last minute. Really appreciate you and your family for caring for our baby.”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Beethoven’s stay! From the moment we met Felicia & Bradley, their family was warm, welcoming, and treated Beethoven as if he were part of their own family. They provided excellent communication throughout his stay, regularly sending pictures and videos that gave us peace of mind and allowed us to see how much fun he was having. It was clear that Beethoven was well cared for, loved, and genuinely happy in their home. In fact, he became so attached to them that he hardly wanted to leave when it was time to come home! Knowing that he was comfortable, safe, and enjoying himself made all the difference. This will definitely be Beethoven’s home away from home. We are incredibly grateful for the care and attention they provided and will not hesitate to book with them again. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and exceptional dog sitters.”
“My cat, Tim, absolutely LOVES Caylei! She sends me photos and videos throughout his time with her, and it's always obvious how happy and cared for he is. He has special needs and she dies an excellent job of caring for those needs as well as loving him.”
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 is really nice, accommodating, and communicative. She keeps you updated with photos and videos of your pet. Theo seems to have had a wonderful time at her place.”
“Jill is such a gem. She was so sweet and easy to deal with, and she assured me (multiple times, even through some really difficult life circumstances) that my pup was happy and safe with her. He came home happy with the zoomies, so I think it's safe to say he had a great time! 10/10 do recommend Jill. :)”
“We can’t say enough great things about James & De. They are the absolute best. We never worry when we leave our sweet boy with them. Would highly recommend them to anyone.”
“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!”
“Stacey did a wonderful job taking care of my Chorkie puppy Max! She was in constant communication and sent the cutest pics of Max each day. He looked to be having fun and feeling at home which was great as it was my first time leaving him with a sitter. I know that she could’ve handled any issues that came up, will definitely call her again next time I need a dog sitter!”
About: I've been a dog owner my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a part of who I am. Every dog has their own personality and routine, and I enjoy taking the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. One of the most meaningful parts of my experience has been caring for senior dogs and providing compassionate end-of-life care. I understand how important patience, consistency, and gentle attention are during every stage of a dog's life. Whether your pet needs medication, a slower-paced walk, extra cuddles, or simply someone to keep them company, I'm happy to provide the care they deserve. I value responsibility, communication, and attention to detail, and I'll care for your pet with the same dedication I bring to every commitment. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your dog feels happy, safe, and cared for. I truly love spending time with animals and am excited for the opportunity to give back to my community by helping local families care for their beloved pets. As a Ph.D. student, I have a flexible schedule and set my own working hours. Most of my research and academic work can be completed remotely, which allows me to spend a significant amount of time at home. I typically go into the lab for only a few hours each day and live very close to my workplace, so I often come home during lunch as well. This flexibility means your dog won't be left alone for long periods of time. I'll have plenty of opportunities throughout the day to provide companionship, playtime, and attention. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, games of fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I can also provide regular potty breaks, outdoor exercise, and enrichment activities to keep your dog happy and engaged. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine as much as possible while giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in my home, I do everything I can to help them feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications, and any special needs, so they can maintain a sense of familiarity while you're away. Throughout the day, your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime, enrichment, and affection. My home has a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely explore, play, and enjoy frequent potty breaks. I also live near a park, making it easy to provide longer walks, fresh air, and extra exercise for dogs who enjoy getting out and exploring. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized cats who are comfortable around dogs. They are calm, respectful of other animals, and have experience living alongside canine visitors. If your dog enjoys feline company, they'll have friendly companions, and if they prefer their own space, I'm happy to provide separate areas so everyone feels safe and comfortable. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I'll provide regular updates and photos while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, loved, and receiving the best possible care.
“Linda took great care of my girl. She also sent pictures and videos to help ease my fears of leaving Bella for the first time with someone other than family. I could not have asked for a better person to watch Bella.”
“Annette is magical! Earl had a wonderful time running in the park, exploring the paths of Annette's backyard, and playing with other dogs. He returned home calm, happy, and exhausted! We are grateful for Annette and her calm approach to caring for our Earl.”
About: Hi, I'm Alexa! I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have cared for many of my own, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs and personalities. Over the years, I’ve provided dependable pet sitting for friends, neighbors, and families in my hometown, earning their trust through consistent, attentive care. I treat every pet as if they were my own—prioritizing their comfort, safety, and happiness at all times.

As a college student currently taking online courses, I have a very flexible and consistent daily routine that allows me to prioritize your pets care throughout the day. My schedule gives me the ability to be present for feedings, walks, playtime, and regular check-ins without feeling rushed. I don't have weekends marked as a guarantee, but I may be available and will always be open to working something out, so don't be afraid to reach out! 🩷 I care for pets like they’re my own and try to keep them as comfortable as possible. 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.
“Thank you for taking good care of Roger. It was one less thing to worry about on our trip. You are the best dog sitter! Highly recommended. JR taught our Roger a few new things, how to stay until called, how to stay calm on car rides. JR gave our Roger the special attention that she needed. Thank you JR 😀❤️❤️❤️❤️😀❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Beverly took amazing care of our fur babies! We even extended our trip & she was very accommodating! It’s so nice to know we didn’t have to worry them & knew they were being loved! Thank you so much!”
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

Cat caregivers near you - Echo Brook Park
“Emily took fantastic care of our cats and rescue pigeon! We really appreciated that she was observant and asked about unusual behaviors to make sure everything was okay while taking care of our pets. We enjoyed our vacation so much more because we knew our pets were under such excellent care when we were gone! We would be thrilled to have Emily take care of our pets in the future!”
“Jessica was great! People I normally use were unavailable and she jumped right in. She was very communicative and sent great updates and photos every day that let me know my kitties were well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Jessica and will be using her services in the future!”
“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!”
“Taryn is wonderful-responsible & caring to both our pets and us. She stays in touch, keeping us informed and feeling confident that our home and animals were in the best of care. When we are in need of services, I first reach out to Taryn to see if she is available. I highly recommend!”
“Sophia was fantastic!! This was my first time using her, and she was so sweet, very punctual, and took great care of our cats. I will definitely be using her in the future, and am so happy to have found a trustworthy person to care for our pets!”
“That’s hilarious. Yes, Miss Mae is not so much a fan of the walks. I try to make her, but it’s a challenge. Thanks so much for taking great care of everyone! Hope you had a great time at the show!”
About: I’ve cared for cats my whole life, from growing up with them to raising my own cat, Ponyo. I also regularly cat sit for family, so I’m comfortable with different cats and their needs.
“I absolutely adore Caroline. She is a genuinely kind soul and, just as important, my fur baby loves her. You can tell she has a natural warmth and care for little hearts, and that’s what makes her so special and such a magnet for animals. We had a small hiccup with entry, but she handled it with nothing but patience and kindness.”
“Aubrey replied promptly to our pet sitting request and scheduled a visit to meet our cats that evening. She was very comfortable handling and giving medication to our senior kitty with hyperthyroidism. She let us know she was coming before each visit and sent multiple photos and videos of each of our cats, including the one who likes to hide. When we forgot that we had a Chewy order coming, she unboxed the items and put them away and she brought in our deliveries. She also agreed to an extra visit on our return date, when we were worried that we would get in late. We were pleased with the care she provided to our pets and would hire her again.”
“Samantha was so amazing! She followed instructions and gave me multiple updates throughout the visits! Provided great pictures. Our cat loved her and made the daily visits great. Thank you so much!”
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 currently live on my own and care for my own cat in my house, so I've had far more personal experience with them.
About: I have been taking care of cats my whole life. I understand the individual and unique personalities those babies have. I am familiar with the ones that want all the attention and the ones that run and hide when someone walks into the house. I have experience with administering medications when needed and cleaning litter boxes. I will take care of your baby.
“Morgan is amazing!!! Our sweet kitty absolutely loved her. I was nervous at first because he can be shy around new people but Morgan was able to build trust with him almost instantly! The detailed updates and photos we received daily put our minds at ease when we were away, and we knew he was very well taken care of, and most importantly HAPPY! Morgan went above and beyond to make sure all our detailed notes were executed and we really appreciated that.”
About: Taking care of cats is easy for me, I swear I was a cat in another life. I find cat behaviors so interesting and funny, plus my dog would rather play with a cat than another dog. Every cat is a kitty to me, no matter the age, they are all babies.
“I have many great things to say, but most importantly: Abby is a life saver! I was going on a long 10 days trip for work, my initial sitter had a personal problem and literally bailed on me. After waiting for over 24 hours for the other sitter to show up I decided to take action and find someone else, that’s how I came across Abby. I can say that this was the best thing that happened to my cats, after contacting her for the first time and explaining my emergency it took her 20 minutes to run to my house and give them the care they needed. Abby is really professional, dependable, easy to communicate and super sweet to my kitties. She is the person I want taking care of my cats going forward, I can go on my work travels with my mind at ease knowing they will be in the best hands. Highly recommend!”
“Sophia was fantastic! She watched our cats for 10 days with no issue, we received a picture and update every visit and she stayed for the full drop in times everytime! We highly recommend Sophia!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Echo Brook Park
“I left my 3-month old puppy with Xionella for the whole day, and she had never been away from me or with other dogs. She had the best time!! I got updates about her well being all day!! My mind and heart were at ease🩷”
“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!”
“Marlina was fantastic, was super sweet and accommodating for our shy puppy, especially with our dog’s needs for pee pads. She was very gentle and considerate in introducing her dogs to Luna one at a time so everyone could get acquainted smoothly and successfully! We loved the pictures taken throughout the day! Luna had a wonderful time during her play date with Marlina and her dogs!”
“Wonderful Caregivers. They sincerely love Fur Babies. Sent lots of delightful pictures. Roscoe had a wonderful day and made a new best doggie friend and extended family. We will use Tom and Nikki again. Thanks very much!”

“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: I took care of my senior toy poodle until her dying days. She was 15, blind, and deaf, so i know how to care for different ability levels. I house trained my pomsky from being the tasmanian devil into a rambunctious pup who listens to me and responds to commands. I rescued my kitty after she was found in a dumpster and raised her into a healthy, energetic, highly food-motivated cat. I am patient, flexible, bring treats, and always make sure to put their safety and comfort first. No detail or request is too specific; no pet is too much to love or care for. I am located in both Athens, GA and the general Jacksonville, FL area. My location changes depending on the season! I can work from anywhere as long as I have my phone or computer with me so my availability is very flexible. My schedule is set to change in the fall with my classes. I prefer to take care of your pets in their natural environment. I will never bring my dog with me into their space; I want to make sure they know I am a trusted visitor in their space. I will meticulously follow whatever instructions I am given and will effectively communicate if anything goes sideways. I will also write a lil report on their activities and behavior for your comfort as their primary caretaker, when requested :).

About: I've been taking care of my family pets as far back as I can remember! I have a small dog of my own who I spoil beyond belief. I love cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes and I truly believe they deserve every good thing life could possibly offer them. I've dealt with all the ups and downs of having pets from allergies, injuries, diets, and fleas to cuddles and grooming. I'd love the opportunity to meet your pet and help you give them the attention and care that they deserve! I'll be available all summer outside of the evenings Friday-Sunday due to my part time job. During the fall I'm free every Monday and Wednesday. I'll also be available from morning to noon on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. My own pets have taught me so much about caring for dogs and cats. I understand their body language when they are agitated or hurt and I pay close attention to the things that catch their eyes. Therefore, I can easily keep your pet out of trouble in and out of the house whether that be in your yard, living room, or walks. My priority is always their safety and happiness. I can easily crate dogs, keep them on their leash, and be wary of that suspicious crunch sound in their mouth when they find something they shouldn't have.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs of my own and those belonging to friends and family for years. I have no problem feeding, exercising, playing with, and cleaning up after cats and dogs. I also have experience dispensing medicine and caring for sick cats and dogs. I’m currently working part time, but I should have lots of time off this upcoming month (July/August). I can pet sit on busy days as long as owner is comfortable with me possibly leaving for hours at a time. In my home, I like to keep my cat inside. My back yard is fenced in for our dog. I try my best to keep the house clean and orderly to avoid any potential danger for my pets, and would do the same for yours. For walking, leashes are always a must.
About: My whole life my family has had dogs. From the German Shepard-Dobermans we had when I was little to the Cavalier we had growing up. I work part time so I have plenty of free time, mainly on Tuesdays and Thursdays and every other weekend to pet sit any dogs. I'm reliable and I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. And I will take care of them like my own dogs.
About: I've been a dog owner my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a part of who I am. Every dog has their own personality and routine, and I enjoy taking the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. One of the most meaningful parts of my experience has been caring for senior dogs and providing compassionate end-of-life care. I understand how important patience, consistency, and gentle attention are during every stage of a dog's life. Whether your pet needs medication, a slower-paced walk, extra cuddles, or simply someone to keep them company, I'm happy to provide the care they deserve. I value responsibility, communication, and attention to detail, and I'll care for your pet with the same dedication I bring to every commitment. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your dog feels happy, safe, and cared for. I truly love spending time with animals and am excited for the opportunity to give back to my community by helping local families care for their beloved pets. As a Ph.D. student, I have a flexible schedule and set my own working hours. Most of my research and academic work can be completed remotely, which allows me to spend a significant amount of time at home. I typically go into the lab for only a few hours each day and live very close to my workplace, so I often come home during lunch as well. This flexibility means your dog won't be left alone for long periods of time. I'll have plenty of opportunities throughout the day to provide companionship, playtime, and attention. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, games of fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I can also provide regular potty breaks, outdoor exercise, and enrichment activities to keep your dog happy and engaged. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine as much as possible while giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in my home, I do everything I can to help them feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications, and any special needs, so they can maintain a sense of familiarity while you're away. Throughout the day, your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime, enrichment, and affection. My home has a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely explore, play, and enjoy frequent potty breaks. I also live near a park, making it easy to provide longer walks, fresh air, and extra exercise for dogs who enjoy getting out and exploring. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized cats who are comfortable around dogs. They are calm, respectful of other animals, and have experience living alongside canine visitors. If your dog enjoys feline company, they'll have friendly companions, and if they prefer their own space, I'm happy to provide separate areas so everyone feels safe and comfortable. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I'll provide regular updates and photos while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, loved, and receiving the best possible care.
About: My experience consists of watching family and friends dogs and occasionally cats. I had a small yorkie with hip dysplasia and cushings that required meds frequently and I had a black lab mix that has also passed away, who was blind in one eye and deaf. I offer companionship and exercise for your pets when you're away. I can help with training, taking them for long walks, going to the restroom, administering medications, or just being an awesome petter for your puppy (because all dogs are puppies, no matter how old). I occasionally work weekends from 8-2pm at a hotel, but am usually up very early and can walk your dog as early as 5am if needed. I have a fully Remote job and will be able to spend the majority of the day with your pets. **Constant 24/7 care will have a higher nightly rate, if they are not able to be left alone in any capacity, as I will have to rearrange my schedule. When I walk my dogs, I prefer them to be in a harness for their comfort and safety. I make sure to watch the dogs closely, so if I see any signs of stress, I will promptly remove them from the situation. During the summer months especially, I will make sure to walk them early in the morning or in well shaded areas to make sure their paws are well protected from the hot pavement. I carry a dog water bottle with me on my walks, so they always have access to clean water if needed. When dog sitting, I take them out constantly, offer lots of playtime and stimulation while there, and always make sure the area is clean.
“Wow, just Amazing! Olivia was attentive and followed directions to a T. She was extremely diligent and gave my sweet boy extra lovings. He really enjoyed her company and we are so happy to know that we will MOST DEFINITELY be using Olivia again very soon! If your hesitant about a dog sitter, OLIVIA IS YOUR GIRL!!!”
About: I’m a veterinary student with over six years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine as a Lead Veterinary Assistant. I’ve cared for puppies, senior pets, anxious animals, and pets with medical needs, including administering medications. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or specialized care, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and keep you updated every step of the way. As a veterinary student, my schedule varies throughout the year, but I keep my Rover calendar updated and communicate promptly. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and medication administration whenever my schedule allows, and I always make sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With years of experience in veterinary medicine, I’m trained to recognize signs of illness, handle nervous or fearful pets, and administer medications when needed. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, keep their environment safe and clean, and provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
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 grown up with animals for pretty much my whole life, and have always loved having them around! In the last few years, I’ve been living alone and touring for work, so I can’t morally have a cat or dog of my own. I have a crested gecko and a california king snake (named Minkie and Burger) that keep to themselves, and honestly most of the time they are completely still or have hidden themselves in some foliage, so they’ve never been much interest to dogs or cats that have been in my house. Half of the time I work from home, either mixing or making string arrangements for albums. If I am working at a studio or running sound at a venue, I’m able to take a break to let out anyone who needs to be let out, but ideally would just schedule myself for days where I’m already working from home. Ideally I’d be able to be around them as much as possible! I’m a bit of a homebody when I get the chance, so I’d make sure they’re the center of attention :)
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have years of hands-on experience caring for them. From high-energy dogs who need long walks to laid-back cats who just want attention and consistency. I’m confident handling different personalities and needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping your pet safe and comfortable. Working part time at Publix so pretty much on my off days i can stop by and check on the pets when you need me I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pet company. I provide a safe, supervised environment and can crate your dog if needed. I always follow your pet’s routine, keep their space clean, and make sure they feel comfortable and secure.
About: I have a 13 years old dog who has been with me for ten years! I’ve had tons of experience with feeding, giving medicine, and of course baths. (He also wears diapers and grippy socks so I do have some senior experience). I work part-time and I am in college online so I am very free! I work three days a week 9-5 so I’m free to stay every night and able to feed and walk in the mornings. I have a boyfriend who would be helping with this and he is only doing school online so he would be very available to help me out with midday walks or whatever would be needed. I pride myself in getting along with animals well and helping them stay calm. I love to chill out but I am also always up for a good walk so I should be able to get along with any furry friend!
About: @ahartpetsitting on insta!! I’ve been taking care of animals as long as I can remember. Hermit crabs, guinea pigs, lizards, fish, chickens, you name it! I just love every animal, and I still believe that they can speak, just not when we’re in the room. I work professionally with dogs every single day as a manager of a dog care facility. I’m known for liking the “bad dogs” at work along with special needs and older pets as well (I love powdered sugar faces)! I treat each animal as my own, and I would do the same with yours! I work full time as a manager at a doggy daycare, I would be able to get you a registration forms and take your pup to work with me if you’d like! My job is very flexible so I can also come home at any point and let your pup out instead of bringing them with me. I am also open to not working during the time I care for your pet. Message me and let’s talk! If you don’t have a dog, I am more than happy to talk with you and figure out if I need to come home for breaks or not work! I care for each pet exactly how owners ask me too, just with lots of extra love! I can chill if that’s what your pet likes to do, or I can adventure. I love being outside in nature as well as cozying up on the couch :)
About: I have 180 hours of vet experience working under and experience veterinarian. I have volunteered for many dog shelter organizations including Athens-Clarke County animal shelter. I have an anxious dog back home and know all the tricks to calm him down. I love animals and hope to become a wildlife animal veterinarian in the not too distant future. I am available from Friday-Monday. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am available after 5:00 for night walks. Wednesdays the only time I am not free is from 12:00 - 4:00 I create a safe environment, make sure they get regular exercise, proper nutrition, veterinary care, social interaction, I follow detailed instructions, and respectful to the boundaries your animals set.
“Susie is awesome!!! Took great care of my pup who can be a handful at times. She’s a great communicator too which is helpful when letting a stranger into your home to care for your 4 legged family. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been a pet parent since I was 11 years old and have been a pet sitter since the age of 13. I have cared for pets of neighbors and friends including dogs, cats, chickens and small animals. It always is a pleasure to ensure pets are well taken care of and experience little to no stress while their pawrents are away. I am currently a full time graduate student working a typical 9-5 with some flexibility. I am free most mornings and evenings on weekdays. I can be free during “lunch time” to care for your pets as well. I am also free most weekends. I will ensure the safety of your pets when going outside for walks or during their time inside by being detail orientated and meticulous. I will make sure leashes and collars are secure before going on a walk. I will also double check all water, food, toys etc. before ever leaving your pet.

“Diana did such a wonderful job with our pup. I swear he’s learned some new things. He doesn’t nip as much. He’s waiting before eating. Trainer and sitter in one. Thanks for taking us last minute. Really appreciate you and your family for caring for our baby.”
“My cat, Tim, absolutely LOVES Caylei! She sends me photos and videos throughout his time with her, and it's always obvious how happy and cared for he is. He has special needs and she dies an excellent job of caring for those needs as well as loving him.”

“Xionella is really nice, accommodating, and communicative. She keeps you updated with photos and videos of your pet. Theo seems to have had a wonderful time at her place.”
“Jill is such a gem. She was so sweet and easy to deal with, and she assured me (multiple times, even through some really difficult life circumstances) that my pup was happy and safe with her. He came home happy with the zoomies, so I think it's safe to say he had a great time! 10/10 do recommend Jill. :)”
“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!”

“Linda took great care of my girl. She also sent pictures and videos to help ease my fears of leaving Bella for the first time with someone other than family. I could not have asked for a better person to watch Bella.”
“Annette is magical! Earl had a wonderful time running in the park, exploring the paths of Annette's backyard, and playing with other dogs. He returned home calm, happy, and exhausted! We are grateful for Annette and her calm approach to caring for our Earl.”
“Beverly took amazing care of our fur babies! We even extended our trip & she was very accommodating! It’s so nice to know we didn’t have to worry them & knew they were being loved! Thank you so much!”

“I was so worried about leaving my dog with anyone. I met Jonathan and one of his dogs at a park and his calm demeanor put my dog at ease right away. He definitely understands dogs. Within minutes of dropping my dog off at his house on the day of boarding, Jonathan sent me a video of the dogs which put my mind at rest. I had numerous photos and reports throughout the two days. I now have someone who is kind, capable and thoughtful that I can trust to leave my big guy with. Thank you, Jonathan, for being a welcoming host! Thank you, Rover, for working with such a quality person!”
“If you are wondering whether to book Nikki and Tom for boarding (or day care), just do it! They communicate openly and clearly at every stage of booking and throughout our pup's stay that we always feel relaxed and happy our little guy is at their house.... Maybe not as happy as our pup, though: he LOVES them!!! Thank you for another awesome stay!!!”
“We had an amazing experience with Delmina and family. We got lots of updates with pictures, videos, and texts throughout the stay. Louis was closely watched and treated like their own. They followed all our instructions and took excellent care of him. Louis was definitely comfortable in her home and it showed with his calmness after leaving. We will 100% using Delmina again.”
“Sully appeared to love staying with Adam when i went to pick him up and Adam was great about sending pictures and updates throughout the weekend! He was communicative and flexible and I definitely plan on booking him again!”
“Anita and her family were awesome taking care of my dog. They went for a hike/run every day and Eki loved it.He looked so happy when I took him back home; I would definitely book with Anita again♥️.”
“Michelle and Philip are a fun couple. Full of love and compassion that flows throughout their home between their children and pets. Accommodating our request with a one week notice was a blessing. My fur girls are new to boarding based on Michelle's updates and photos they were able to adjust and remained comfortable during their extended weekend. My fur babies returned home healthy and happy 😊.”
