“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!!!”
“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 😊.”
“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!”
“My dog had such a great time staying here! He even made two furry friends during his stay, which made the experience even better. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, social, and well cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun and safe place for their pet! And let me in the loop of his stay there. Will book again!”
“Adrienne took care of my special needs dog for a week. Our little guy did not want to leave when my husband went to pick him up! We noticed my dog was developing a UTI as we dropped him off and she was able to pick up the medicine and take care of it for us. Highly recommend!!”
“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.”
“James and his wife took incredible care of Lacy & Gizmo during their stay. Lacy has severe storm anxiety and James and his wife made sure she stayed comfortable. They went above and beyond taking care of my pups. He was great in sending pictures and updates throughout the stay. I would highly recommend them.”
“Kendall & Darbie were fantastic! Communication was excellent and they were super friendly and accommodating! We will book with them again the next time we're in Athens!”
“Moose had a great time staying with Caylei! We appreciate her communication and dedication to making sure Moose was comfortable while we were out of town. Highly recommend!”

You can rest assured with Abby, her house is great and she is SUPER knowledgeable about pet care. I WILL BE booking again. THANK YOU Abby !!!!”
“Amanda was very welcoming to both Ronan and me and sent pictures while we were away that my son in particular really appreciated and also had all of Ronan's bedding, bowls, food, etc. ready to go when we arrived. He enjoyed romping in her large fenced-in backyard as well.”
“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!”
“Zeke loved his stay with Gingi! We hadn't left Zeke's side for 10 months so we were a bit nervous to be going away for almost 2 weeks, but we knew Zeke was in great hands. We got daily updates and we knew Zeke was super cozy in Gingi's home. We'll definitely be reaching out in the future whenever we need a dog sitter again.”
“Stacy was awesome. I am a first time dog owner and left my 5-month old puppy with her for 5 days and she answered all my questions and put all my fears to rest. She kept me updated daily with pictures and commentary about how my puppy was doing. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Will definitely be calling her again.”

Well the sitter for the first week cancelled last minute and Michelle picked up that week too. My needy girls took to her almost immediately and kept her on their schedule. Thank you Michelle for watching our girls. They can’t wait to see you again!”
About: I have several years of experience with both dogs and cats. The largest dog I've handled was 120 lbs. I'm down to cuddle or go on a walk, whatever your pet needs. I am a college student so I am flexible daily and can come by your house when needed. I am free on weekends and most weeknights. I would love if you can give me specifics on your pet's routine and any behavior I should know about. I have some experience with oral medication if your pet ever needs it.
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.
About: I am an experienced dog owner and sitter. I grew up in a family that always had pets, including cats and dogs, and have owned multiple dogs since living on my own. Currently, I have one small chiweenie and regular dogsit dogs including Cocker Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, and Great Pyrenees. Shy or nervous rescue pets are no problem! I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, counter surfers, etc. Pets with medical issues are welcome as I have experience taking care of dogs and cats with a variety of issues who’ve needed everything from shots throughout the day or diaper changes or to receive mobility assistance. I also have experience caring for chickens if you need someone to care for your chicks. I work full-time from 8 AM-5 PM. I have a long lunch, so I can stop by to take care of any needs during the day. Drop off/pickup prior to or after work is preferred, except on the weekends when I’m free. If you really need a specific drop off or pickup time, please let me know early so I can try to accommodate that. I am up early every morning to give pets plenty of time to eat and play before leaving. When I get home, the first thing I do is let pets out to potty and to play. Throughout the evening, there is plenty of time for walks and playtime before bed. . First and foremost, I will strive to match or mimic the care and routine you give your pets at home. With a fenced in yard, your pet will have a safe place to potty and play. There are also many parks nearby to take your pet on walks or provide them with socialization. Pets are able to climb on furniture, sleep on my bed, and have mostly free rein of the house — my home is their home while we’re here. However, I have a pet gate I can put up and experience crating pets (as well as crate training dogs) for any pet who can’t be left free to roam.
About: I fully respect that cats operate on their own terms, and honestly… I love that for them. 😌 Whether your cat is a social butterfly, a professional napper, or prefers to observe me from the top of the refrigerator for three days before deciding I’m acceptable, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Fresh food, clean litter, playtime, cuddles (if they approve), and plenty of patience are all part of the package.
“Erryne was wonderful. Very professional and great with our dog. She has a veterinary background as well for those who have pets that need extra care! We will surely use her again in the future!”
About: Hello! My name is Gina and I have years of experience with dog walking, house sitting, and boarding pets. I am very responsible, friendly, and believe open communication is the ticket. I do not smoke, and have a clean record. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I am available to spend more time with your fur babies!
About: I've taken care of all kinds of cats with all kinds of personalities! Whether you have a clingy kitty or one who's a little more shy, I love getting to meet new pets. I'm always done to sit and play or just chill and cuddle :)

“They provide a place pups delight! in. It’s actually that succinct. Safety, attention to individual personalities & (dis)likes, motivations and insecurities, physical and health needs, ,… COMMITTING THESE DETAILS TO MEMORY: JUST WHAT THEY DO. As an ‘owner,’ I sure wish this description was commonplace.”
About: Your pet's new favorite human (after you, of course I bring veterinary experience and a foster's heart to every walk, drop-in, and boarding stay. I'm comfortable with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from high-energy pups to shy or sensitive pets who need a little extra patience. Whether we're out for a fun, structured walk or relaxing at home, I focus on keeping your pet safe, happy, and stress-free. I pay close attention to behavior and body language, so your pet feels understood and cared for every step of the way. I'm also confident with basic handling, medication routines, and keeping a clean, calm environment. Safety is always my priority-secure leashes, awareness of surroundings, and thoughtful care. You'll get plenty of updates, photos, and honest communication, so you always know how your pet is doing. With me, your pet gets more than just care-they get attention, patience, and lots of love. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I have worked in a full service veterinary hospital, and in my home, someone is always present—so pets get constant supervision, playtime, and companionship. I keep routines consistent and tailor care to each pet. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be part of our daily life. Safety and trust are my top priorities, especially when pets are staying in my home. I create a calm, structured environment where they can settle in comfortably and feel secure. My home features a fully fenced acre where dogs can safely run, play, sunbathe, or relax in the shade. I’m experienced managing multiple dogs and cats, so I carefully supervise all interactions and match energy levels to keep everyone safe and stress-free. I stick closely to your pet’s routine—including feeding schedules, medications, and preferences—so their stay feels familiar and consistent. With hands-on veterinary experience, I’m also able to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health and respond quickly if needed. Whether your dog loves to play or prefers a quieter space, I adjust to their needs and let them settle in at their own pace. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you can relax knowing your pet is in a safe, attentive, and loving environment.
“Xionella is an excellent doggy dear care provider. My dog was happy staying with her and he made new friends with two of her dogs. I definitely will come back for her service again.”
“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!”
“Angela and her husband were absolutely amazing to my mini goldenoodle! I need somewhere or our dog to stay while painters painted inside our home. Angela is a gem! She was so easy to talk with and kept in touch with updates and photo. She went out of her way to make Millie feel comfortable and it worked. I think Millie would have moved in with her if I needed her to! I won’t hesitate to contact her again. She’s a superb choice for any person to wants/needs o leave their pet in a loving and caring home. Couldn’t think of anything she could do better❣️”
“Gingi was quick to respond, and my pup Pi loved his time playing with her and her dog Twink! She sent us lots of photo updates showing how much fun Pi was having which helped me relax while I was out of town.”
About: 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.
About: A Convenient, Fun Home Away From Home 🐾 . I have a pet-friendly home with a large, fenced-in yard, located just one mile from Downtown Athens and UGA. It’s a great setup for friendly, social dogs who enjoy having room to play, relax, and get some exercise during the day. I work from home, so I’m able to provide a comfortable home environment for dogs throughout the day. . And when your dog is ready for a little adventure, I’m happy to take them out for walks or outings at places like Dudley Park or Sandy Creek Park. 🐕🌳 . Why this works well 🏡 Large fenced yard — Plenty of room for your pup to play, explore, and burn off some energy. 💻 I work from home — Your dog gets to spend the day in a home environment rather than a traditional kennel or facility. 🌳 Adventure time — Dogs who enjoy getting out and about can join me for walks and adventures at Dudley Park, Sandy Creek Park, and other nearby spots. 📍 Super convenient location — Just one mile from Downtown Athens and UGA. Drop your pup off on your way to work, school, or downtown and pick them up whenever it works for you. 🔑 Flexible drop-off & pickup — I work from home, but if I happen to miss you, I have keyless entry makes it easy to come and go, even if I’m briefly away from home. ⏰ Daytime care — My preference is daytime stays between 7 AM and 9 PM, making this especially convenient for students and anyone working near downtown. Overnight stays can also be accommodated when needed. . A few important requirements 🐶 . To make sure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience: • Meet & greets are required before the first stay so we can make sure your dog is comfortable here and gets along well with other dogs. • I only accept friendly, social dogs who are comfortable around people and other dogs. • No aggressive dogs, please. • Dogs must be spayed/neutered and current on all vaccinations. Proof of vaccinations will be requested before the first stay. My goal is to make dog care easy and convenient for you while giving your pup a safe, social place to hang out, get some exercise, and have a little fun while you're away. 🐕❤️ . Come and go as you need — let's make this work for you and your pup!
About: 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
“Michelle and her husband greeted and welcomed Moses to their home so sweetly! This was the first time I had ever left Moses with someone he did not know and they made it easy!! Michelle’s husband even picked Moses up and cradled him as I left. She has been great with Moses and his adjustment to her home and care and has also been very kind to me with updates and pics!! We will return as long as she will let us!!”
About: Hi! I’m Madison—former shelter/rescue worker turned specialty animal hospital administrator turned full-time WFH corporate girlie and dog mom. With years of hands-on experience handling everything from wiggly puppies to sweet seniors, I bring a calm, confident, and compassionate vibe to every dog I meet. I’ve worked with all temperaments, sizes, and medical needs. Need meds given? No problem. Need someone who won’t freak out over a surprise poop situation? Also no problem. My goal is to keep your pet happy, healthy, and excited to hang with their new bestie. 🐾 I work from home full-time, which allows me to offer flexible pet care! While I do prefer your pet to stay with me so I can give them the best care throughout the day, I can also accommodate daily visits or home stays depending on my work environment and availability. If you’re looking for daily visits or a home stay, I just ask that your pet’s space is comfortable and that I can provide the attention they need while balancing work. I’m dedicated to keeping them happy, entertained, and safe while I’m working! If you have any special requests or need to discuss a specific schedule, don’t hesitate to reach out—I’ll make sure we find the best fit for you and your pet. 🐾 When your pet stays with me, they’ll have their own large indoor private space giving them a quiet, comfortable area to call their own. Whether they want to curl up for a nap or enjoy some playtime, they'll have the freedom to relax in their own area. Since I work from home, I’m around all day to keep them company, give them potty breaks, and provide plenty of attention. If your pet enjoys snuggling, I’m more than happy to share the couch for some extra cozy moments. I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can see how your pet is doing while they’re in their home-away-from-home! Additional information and requirements for boarding: *PLEASE READ* Boarding Requirements: All pets must be up to date on: -Vaccinations -Monthly flea/tick prevention -Monthly heartworm prevention (My personal pets are held to the same standards for everyone's safety) -Crate training is preferred, but flexible based on the dog’s size and needs. -Owners must confirm whether I have permission to take their pet to the vet in case of an emergency. -I remain available via phone or messenger for updates and communication throughout the stay. I am more than happy to take as many photos and videos as you need :) Pet Interaction Policy: While my own dogs will be present in the home, your pet will stay in a separate area and will not interact with them. This is to ensure the safety and comfort of both your pet and mine. Doggy playdates can be arranged based on your pet’s size and temperament.
About: Neighbors, friends and family continue to entrust me with their pets of all ages! My pup has hiked to high heights with me, but I’ve also loved many in their final, precious days. Wherever your loved one is, I’ll be sure to care for your fur babe like you would! I am a mom of one that works full time for a University from home. Monday through Friday I work from 8-5 with two 15 minute breaks and a lunch break of at least one hour. I am a triathlete that is often up at 5 AM training. Then, I go on a walk every day on my lunch and often again when I log off for the day. I’d love for your fur babe to tag along! I have two fenced in yards full of sun and plenty of shade. I have a 40 pound doodle that can keep them company and give them plenty of exercise if needed, but I can also keep them separated if that is preferred. I have fresh well water and a walking trail around our property. I can also crate your dog or offer them a bed if they need. Otherwise, your loved one will roam free with lots of play time and cuddles. Whatever your fur babe needs, I’m here to serve you!
About: Registered Veterinary Technician who works emergency medicine on the weekends looking for extra work through the week. I can’t stay at your house overnight, but your pet can come to mine. I can also do drop ins pretty regularly. I graduated college with a degree in Veterinary technology and passed my state boards. I work at an emergency clinic in Atlanta on the weekends and right now I’m free through the week. I can try my best to work out whatever you need help with. I’m skilled at giving medications and anything basic your pet may need in home, as well as lifesaving care due to any emergency. I can keep non child friendly cats in a different area, but dogs must be child friendly. I do have cats & ferrets, but they can be kept separately if your animals are not cat & small rodent friendly. I have 2 dogs as well. All of my animals are pet friendly with everything as many animals have come through my care fostering. I'm skilled in exotic pet care as well if necessary. I currently only work weekend overnights in the ER. So, I am home all week caring for my fur babies. As well as yours hopefully! I strive to care for anyone's else's pets exactly as I would my own. When they are with me, they are my babies too. I bring my ER compassion with me when I pet sit, in the ER the pets are without their owners & they are scared on top of being hurt. While my pet sits may not be hurt, I'm aware they could be nervous & unfamiliar. I try to treat them with the upmost compassion & kindness.

About: If you’re looking for two dog obsessed floof enthusiasts🐶🐶🐾🐾🤩🤩 who provide full-time care and can't get enough of spoiling your fur children...look no further, you’ve come to the right place! We do this because we LOVE to do it, not because we have to❤️. We are Tom & Nikki and welcome to our Rover profile😄 - 🐶ABOUT US🐶 Hi, I’m Tom😊. I’ve been an animal and dog lover since I was a kid! When Nikki and I got married, I became a proud fur dad to her two beloved elderly English Bulldog children. Caring for their special needs and medications taught me so much about senior dog care. Sadly, when we had to say goodbye to both of them😢, our home felt empty without the tippy tap sounds of their toebeans running around everywhere😔. We truly missed the joy and companionship dogs bring, which is why we decided to open up our hearts and home to provide exceptional love and superior care to the wonderful dogs of our community. We consider your dogs not just pets, but cherished family members of our own family🐶❤️ - Hi, I’m Nikki😄. I’ve had a lifelong dog obsession for as long as I can remember🐶😍. I’m definitely “that" dog person who spots a furry floof in the distance and immediately drops everything to run over to squish it with love. It’s impossible for me *not* to get attached to every dog in our care😆. As a matter of fact, Tom always jokes that I need therapy because I never want to let them go. I’d happily keep spoiling each one forever! Of course, he also reminds me that they do have families they eventually need to go back to🤣. I’ve owned and loved three English Bulldogs, a breed known for being incredibly high maintenance in every way. Because of that experience, I’ve developed a keen eye for noticing even the smallest changes in a dog’s behavior, health, or mood. By default, every dog in our care is treated like our own❤️, and we don’t know any other way to treat these precious babies Tom and I consider angels on earth😇🥰 - 🐶SIZES WE CURRENTLY ACCEPT🐶 Nub🤏🏼 (teacup/toy): 0-10 lbs Floof☁️: 11-20 lbs Chonkmuffin🐽: 21-30 lbs Chonk🦛: 31-40 lbs Super Chonk🐽🐽: 41-100 lbs Floofasaurus🦖: 101+ lbs - 🐶PLEASE NOTE🐶: Because safety is our number one priority for all dogs under our care, we have a zero aggression policy. Meaning that if your dog currently has (or has any history of) signs of aggression towards other dogs and/or humans, unfortunately we cannot accommodate them here in our home. We do not offer segregated boarding. For the safety of your dog and the other dogs here, your best option may be a sitter who watches one dog at a time. In the event your dog were to show aggression during their stay and compromise the safety of the other dogs here, please have an emergency contact where you can arrange to pick up your dog - 🐶MEET & GREETS🐶 Meet and Greets will take place in our front yard and be limited to 15 minutes. We do not give a house tour due to liability reasons, however there is a collection of pictures on our profile that you can use for visual reference :) 🐶OUR CURRENT SCHEDULE🐶 Nikki is home full-time for doggy daycare and boarders. Tom is at work two days a week and home full-time the rest of the days for daycare and boarders when he is not doing drop-in visits and dog walking. On Sundays, dogs will be crated between 9:30-noon when we’re at church - 🐶SIZES WE CURRENTLY ACCEPT🐶 Nub🤏🏼 (teacup/toy): 0-10 lbs Floof☁️: 11-20 lbs Chonkmuffin🐽: 21-30 lbs Chonk🦛: 31-40 lbs Super Chonk🐽🐽: 41-100 lbs Floofasaurus🦖: 101+ lbs Our cozy home is an ocean of coziness with fluffy dog beds, blankies, and pillows in every area for your dog to lounge and relax in. We have a nice air conditioner that cranks in the summer and a nice heater that keeps the home nice and toasty in the winter, and we have a securely fenced-in yard where your fur baby can enjoy sunbathing, outdoor playtime, leisurely walks, and the infamous sniffing and exploring doggies love to do. Because safety is our number one top priority, they are never left unsupervised both indoors and outdoors. Potty trained dogs are allowed on most furniture (we regularly deep clean every part of our home, especially all the furniture upholstery and rugs). We want them to feel right at home the moment they arrive in our driveway! - 🐶DROP-OFF/PICK-UP🐶 When you arrive here for drop-off's and pick-up's (and Meet & Greets), please have your dog on a leash. We will unleash them once they're safely inside our securely fenced-in yard. - 🐶DURING YOUR PUP'S STAY🐶 When your dog first arrives, we closely observe and monitor their interactions with other dogs (because we typically have multiple dogs here with us at any given time) to be aware of any dynamics that require attention. If any concerns arise, we promptly separate dogs into separate areas (we have multiple gates secured to each doorway inside our home) to ensure their well-being and comfort. - 🐶FEEDING🐶 At mealtime, your dog will enjoy their food in a designated and separated area, ensuring they can savor their meal without interruptions from other dogs. This practice not only prevents food-related aggression but also reduces the likelihood of digestive problems that may occur when consuming unfamiliar dog food. - 🐶SLEEPING🐶 For the safety of all the dogs staying with us, for bedtime they all sleep in crates with a clean and cozy bed and blankie that we will provide. We have a wide variety of crate sizes available, so no need to lug yours over here. We’ve got you covered! All you need to bring is their food and their collar/harness.
About: I've taken care of all types of dogs and have been a pet sitter since 2002. I've owned dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, chinchillas, and chickens. In college, I worked for a mobile dog groomer. I'm a marine biologist, so I work offshore often. My schedule has me at sea for 3-6 weeks and then home for a few weeks where I'm fully available to look after your fur babies! I'll be sure to keep my availability updated so you know when I'm around to help out. You know your animals and what they need to be happy and thrive, so I'll do my best to always make sure they're cared for in the way you prefer.
“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!!!”
“Sarah was great with our dogs, the immediately took to her and her walk tired them out. Being both smart high energy dogs she did a wonderful job as they napped hard shortly after their walk. Will definitely book again.”
“Alexia is wonderful! As my dog can be skittish, she met Riley first. She asked lots of questions about taking care of my dog, questions I hadn’t even thought of. Alexia was patient, attentive and loving. I would certainly have Alexia take care of my dog again.”
About: After the passing of my senior dog, Fezzik, I felt the need to share my care for pets with others in my community. With experience volunteering at animal shelters and caring for senior animals, I am the attentive caregiver your furry companion needs! I currently am starting my career in online teaching and content creation, which means I work from home and have a flexible schedule. With frequent walks already built into my schedule, I am a good fit for pets of any activity level! I live in a gated community with ample space for leashed walks and time in the grass for pets who are boarding. I maintain a clean, second-story apartment which includes a balcony and dog bed. I have my own transportation for at-home visits as well.
“Riley had a great time with Destinee! He opened right up to her during the meet and greet and enjoyed spending time with her. He always looks forward to their walks and playtime!”
About: I have several years of experience with both dogs and cats. The largest dog I've handled was 120 lbs. I'm down to cuddle or go on a walk, whatever your pet needs. I am a college student so I am flexible daily and can come by your house when needed. I am free on weekends and most weeknights. I would love if you can give me specifics on your pet's routine and any behavior I should know about. I have some experience with oral medication if your pet ever needs it.
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'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: Hello! My name is Gina and I have years of experience with dog walking, house sitting, and boarding pets. I am very responsible, friendly, and believe open communication is the ticket.

About: I've had my own cats and dogs since I was born and started taking care of animals all throughout my neighborhood since I was 10. I love all animals and can't wait to love yours! I have my own labradoodle right now and she is the sweetest but loves to cause trouble so I'm always making sure she's getting play time and treats! I've been pet sitting for families in my neighborhood for around 10 years now and am open to care for your pet with any qualifications you provide. Whether that's going for a walk, having playtime, or simply lounging and giving some pets!
About: I own an energetic and loving Australian Shepherd mix. I have taken care of several dogs in the past. This included walking/feeding/sitting with the dogs. I absolutely love walking dogs! I know how hard it is to take care of your pet with a busy schedule, so I can help by taking care of your furry friend! I work 3-4 days a week and have a pretty flexible schedule. My schedule varies week to week, so I should be able to work with you to take care of your dog! I will walk your dog and help them get plenty of exercise. If you have a fenced in backyard, I will let them run around and play. I will give your doggos all the pets and snuggles. You will get lots of pictures of your dog having a great time!
About: I've always loved taking in animals and taking care of them whether they were my own or not. I have been pet sitting for about 4 years now, and I volunteered at an animal clinic in Athens, GA for 6 months. At the clinic I frequently bathed, walked, feed, and took care of many different dogs and cats. I currently only work a couple days out of the month and also complete college online, so my schedule gives me open and flexible availability! Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are all prioritized when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I always take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs such as feeding schedules, medications, or behavioral preferences.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog. I understand that each pup has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your dog like my own—with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and regular photo updates so you can relax while you’re away. Pet care is my full-time job, so my schedule is flexible and centered around your pets. I'm available throughout the week & weekends to give your fur babies plenty of love, attention, playtime, and dependable care whenever they need me! I care for every pet as if they were my own while carefully following your instructions and maintaining their normal routine! I prioritize safety by securing doors, monitoring food and water, while providing plenty of attention. I'll also respect your home and send regular photo updates so you can feel confident that your babies are safe, happy and loved!
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. As a cat owner myself, I understand the unique needs of felines, and I provide a comfortable, loving environment for all pets. As someone who works from home, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m able to provide regular feeding, playtime, and walks throughout the day, ensuring your pet receives consistent attention. With a flexible schedule, I can accommodate special needs and adjust routines as required, all while keeping your pet safe and happy. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a comfortable and safe environment with plenty of space to play, relax, and receive attention. I follow your pet’s regular routine for feeding, exercise, and rest, while offering extra care if needed, such as medication administration or special dietary needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to keep their environment familiar and stress-free. I stick to their regular routines for feeding, walks, and playtime. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions for their care, ensuring they feel secure and comfortable while you’re away.
About: I have over 7 years of experience working in the veterinary field and bring a knowledgeable, compassionate approach to every pet in my care. I am especially experienced with senior pets and those requiring extra support, including insulin injections, oral and topical medications, and eye medications. I am also comfortable assisting pets with mobility challenges and making sure they are safe, comfortable, and cared for throughout their visit. Younger pets can enjoy plenty of attention, exercise, and high-energy playtime to keep them happy and entertained. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and routines, and I strive to provide care that is tailored to each individual pet. Most importantly, I treat every animal as if they were my own and want both pets and their families to feel comfortable and confident in my care. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable balancing feeding, exercise, medications, cleaning, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I also work daily at an animal hospital, where I care for animals with a wide range of needs. My experience has made pet care feel like second nature, and I’m used to providing reliable, attentive care both at work and at home. I can cater to all sorts of animals and there individual personalities. If you have a high energy pup I love to run with them or throw a ball around for as long as they need. If there’s a coach potato in need of belly rubs and ear scratches I’ll gladly sit there for hours.

“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!!!”
“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 😊.”
