Linda clearly loves animals, and she treated Ruby like her own. It gave me great peace of mind while I was on vacation to know that my beloved dog was happy and well cared for. We have already booked her for another stay!”
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 pursuing a degree in the medical field, I bring a heightened level of awareness, responsibility, and knowledge when it comes to overall care and well-being. I am detail-oriented, reliable, and committed to maintaining routines that keep pets feeling secure and stress-free. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I provide a calm, nurturing environment that pet owners can feel confident in. I ADORE ALL FUR BABIES! 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.
“Piper had the most fun with Annette and Bodhi! I felt very comfortable leaving Piper with Annette and she was taken great care of! Piper was tuckered out when she came home and took a nap!”
About: I’ve taking care of dogs for 4 months only, but I’ve experienced with big dogs and tiny and medium dog's, and I love taking care of the dogs I'm currently working just 1 dog a day so I'll have plenty of time to play have more dogs to walk too in my free time right now I don’t have any pets, but I love dogs and cats, I have a cat but my sister has it, when he needs food I’ll send her money for 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.
“I was very impressed with Rebekah, she is awesome. I could not have asked for any better sitter for my dogs. I will continue to use Rebecca and let other people. I know that they're looking for a sitter for sure.”
“Jonathan is a great communicator. Our pup was very happy here for a longer stay. He loved having friends and seemed to enjoy his time. Came home just as happy as he left. Already planning to ask Jonathan to keep our dog again soon.”
“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!”

Cat caregivers near you - Echo Brook Park
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.
“This is what our 2nd time having Leah take care of our kitties. She does not disappoint. She took great care of our kitties and paid attention to their needs. Our kitties seem to remember her and enjoy her company. We look forward to hiring Leah again in the future.”
“Morgan took such good care of our kitties. She followed our instructions and made sure they all got love and playtime. We received adorable photos every day. I would definitely recommend her to other pet parents.”
“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!”
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.
“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 is A+++. She did daily drop-in visits for my daughter’s two cats for three weeks. She was absolutely wonderful. She was consistent, responsive, reliable, friendly, and extremely responsible. I recommend her with the highest compliments.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Sophia is really kind and easy to work with. She’s always been understanding and flexible. I’ve had her watch my cat for both long and short stays. She does walk in visits at my place. My cat definitely likes her and the litter box is always spotless when I return.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Susie is AMAZING!! She has watched my chat and chickens while I was away and her communication is outstanding. She was so helpful and I felt that she really cared about my little fur and feather babies! I would totally recommend her-she was such a huge help and so caring!”
“I’ve used Crystal numerous times this past year to drop-in on my cats while I travel. She is awesome!!!! Responsive, flexible and caring. I always feel at ease leaving my cats at home knowing she will check up on them while I’m gone. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Echo Brook Park
“Annette was so great with my dog Nova! Her fenced in yard was perfect for playing and sniffing, two of my dog’s favorite activities! Nova had such a fun filled day and even took a trip to the dog park nearby with Annette and her dog!”
“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!”
“As always, Indy gets so much safe exercise and socialization at Tom & Nikki’s. He can go to any dog park and have fun with the new dogs without any issues or problems. They are the best!”

“Angela and her husband were absolutely amazing to my mini goldenoodle! I need somewhere or our dog to stay while painters painted inside our home. Angela is a gem! She was so easy to talk with and kept in touch with updates and photo. She went out of her way to make Millie feel comfortable and it worked.

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, and fish all my life along with other animals.

I have my own transportation for at-home visits as well.
“Trina is AMAZING!! So sweet with our puppy and her dog is great with the puppy as well! She sent many pictures and videos even though our pup was only there for 5 hours. You can’t go wrong booking with her!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of real care and attention I give every pet. I treat them like family, not just a job.

About: I grew up with a house that was always full of animals. Dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, fish, even pet rats; I've cared for many kinds of fur babies. My family has had many breeds of dogs that I've been close to and helped raise/care for including German Shepherds, Boxers, Pitties, Terroirs, Goldens, Spaniels, Weimaraners and shelter mixes. All animals have a unique personality, and I know that some pets may take more time to adjust to a new friend than others.I have confidence that I can walk, bathe, feed and even help administer some medications for your family pet. I am a firm believer that all animals deserve love and affection. I currently have a cat, Lil Guy (crazy orange cat) and a dog, Dave (black lab/lap dog). I understand that our pets are incredibly important, and that we all want the best for them. I will treat your animals with just as much love, compassion, patience, and affection as I would my own. I am new to the area, and am looking for work that can that can sustain my financial needs. I would LOVE it if helping to care for pets became that opportunity. I am happy to come by and take your pet for a walk, a bath, a play date at the dog park, grab a bite to eat, see the vet, play with the cat, clean the litter box, and anything in between.
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.

“Reece is such a wonder to have for my Sophitia! He shows up on time and makes sure she is very well taken care of. I work 12 hour shifts and would spend all day worrying about Sophie or have to drop her off at my different friends house. I’m glad to know that I now can have someone to come and give Sophie everything she needs while I am away at work. I love the pictures he takes of her and it always makes me feel at ease, knowing she is in good hands!”
“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'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 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: @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 :)
“Morgan is great! She was diligent all the time and was very thorough with her service. She truly cares for my dog. My dog loves her. I always enjoy her lovely notes and updates with pictures.”
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 8-4pm 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.
“I adopted my dog Charlie a year ago. She’s very attached to me and becomes frightened to be away from me. Sophia is very patient and gentle with her and Charlie is gaining confidence with each walk. Great communication and very friendly. I highly recommend Sophia.”
“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: 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 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.
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’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, including kittens and puppies so I am very well versed in the pet realm! I am on-time and I can ensure that you can trust me to take great care and show lots of love to your furry friend :) I work as a bartender part-time about 1-2 times a week and I am taking online classes this summer so I am very available to care for your pets! I care for pets in their home by sticking closely to their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any specific needs. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and care, while keeping the home clean and respecting the client’s space. I send regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pet is in good hands.
“Hey again! Mike wanted to tip you more since you went above and beyond caring for Murray due to our travel delays, so.. thank you again! You're the best. Hope you had a great xmas and wishing you a very happy New Year!”
About: I bring dedication and genuine love to every pet I care for. I will be focused on creating a safe, fun, and comfortable experience for all pets! I will be living in Athens GA for the month of June and the fall semester starting in September. I am available on weekdays and limited weekends. I create safe, comfortable environments, follow instructions carefully, and maintain clear communication to ensure every pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for at all times.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was ten years old for neighbors and family. I have a bachelors in animal science from UGA and currently work in a local animal clinic for cats and dogs. This clinic offers regular and medical boarding and I am comfortable with animals in all stages of life as well as those that might require a little extra time and attention. I am CPR certified and have training to administer medications and fluids and monitor critically ill patients. I work Mondays-Thursday’s 7:30-6 and can be flexible with a lunch hour to provide for all types of needs. I am open all weekends and holidays. I have one sweet medium sized fur baby who is a shepherd mix, she is friendly with all sizes and breeds. I typically care for pets in a clients home as I find this can minimize stress related clinical signs from manifesting. I love to be active and can incorporate that into your high energy pets needs or can snuggle with your low energy pet and read a book. I monitor my dogs food and water intake closely and actively observe them when outside, I treat all my pet sitting babies the same as I would my own girl.
About: I’m Sophia S, I’m 24 years old, and I’ve had pets my whole life. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters & zoos, fostered puppies, worked at a rehabilitation center, and I absolutely LOVE animals of all kinds! Throughout my life I’ve had fish, hermit crabs, hamsters, and dogs! I am a former graduate of UGA, and have moved back into town to take more classes! I can provide bathes, walks, runs, playtime, and drop-in feedings! Anything you and your pet may need, I am willing to help and put forward my best effort! Please feel free to contact me anytime, and I will try my best to respond promptly. I’m looking forward to meeting many pets and owners! I live with an older lady (Paisley) and younger boy (Finnegan), two dogs. I am currently reenrolled at UGA to take prerequisites for nursing school, so I am very flexible right now! I have a two year old and 9 year old golden retrievers. So, I know each animal is unique with their own needs and personalities!! I care for others dogs as I care for my own. Playtime and scheduled feeding as well as plenty of water are always always a must.

“This was our first time using Xionella for our two small pups. She was very accomodating in letting us do a home visit prior to the time she was going to take care of them. She was great at keeping us updated with pictures and very communicative.”

“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!”
“Becky was the best! My dog looked really happy in pics while she was there and we were able to enjoy our time out of town without worrying about how our dog was doing! Totally recommend Becky’s services!”

“Linda was wonderful with Ruby! I know that Ruby LOVED boarding with her. She sent pictures and videos daily, and Ruby was having a ball playing with Linda’s dogs. Linda clearly loves animals, and she treated Ruby like her own. It gave me great peace of mind while I was on vacation to know that my beloved dog was happy and well cared for. We have already booked her for another stay!”

About: I’ve taking care of dogs for 4 months only, but I’ve experienced with big dogs and tiny and medium dog's, and I love taking care of the dogs I'm currently working just 1 dog a day so I'll have plenty of time to play have more dogs to walk too in my free time right now I don’t have any pets, but I love dogs and cats, I have a cat but my sister has it, when he needs food I’ll send her money for 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.
“I was very impressed with Rebekah, she is awesome. I could not have asked for any better sitter for my dogs. I will continue to use Rebecca and let other people. I know that they're looking for a sitter for sure.”
“Jonathan is a great communicator. Our pup was very happy here for a longer stay. He loved having friends and seemed to enjoy his time. Came home just as happy as he left. Already planning to ask Jonathan to keep our dog again soon.”
“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!”
“They send the BEST photo and video updates and take such good care of my pup! I never have to worry about leaving him with them because I know he’s in great hands. They’ve also been wonderful at accommodating last minute changes to my schedule when I’ve been traveling.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“This is maybe the third time Pimento (our 100 lb Rottweiler) has stayed with Bailey while my husband and I go on vacation. It’s usually about two weeks each time. This time, he walked into her house like he lived there on his own 😂. Bailey is excellent with keeping in contact with us and sends daily pictures of him so we know he’s okay. When we pick him up he always looks happy and well taken care of. No complaints/concerns at all. We will keep leaving Pimento with Bailey for as long as she’ll have him!”
