“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!!”
“It’s a wonderful feeling when you know your family pet is loved and well taken care of while you’re away. Highly recommend Adrienne for your pet sitting needs. We have used her several times and will continue to send our loving Great Dane to her.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Absolutely wonderful!! So kind, sent us pictures every day and was very communicative! Our pup came back so sleepy since he had so much fun! He misses being with her pup too! definitely highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Diana was wonderful. I appreciated that she accommodated our situation on short notice and made modifications so that my dog was as comfortable as possible. Appreciate her flexibility.”
“This review is for the first extended stay after a previous single day stay and it was what I wish all stays could be like. For my two Dachshunds the setup at Nikki and Tom's is perfect. Both Tom and Nikki show them constant love and care - they communicate regularly and often and got some of the funniest videos of all the pups playing together. I can tell based on my dogs energy how they felt after a long stay somewhere away from me, once I picked them up from this stay they were relaxed and full of energy and clearly felt safe and not stressed during their stay. This is a big deal for me, thanks for watching them! 100% will book again.”
“Sully loves going to Adam’s place and is always relaxed when coming home. He even eats when he gets home, which is a big sign for him that he enjoyed his stay away from me! Sully takes over Adam’s bed every time and I never worry about the amount of snuggles he’s getting while I’m gone!”
“Emily was great with my older pup. Was very attentive with her medicines, her food specifications and her initial weariness. My dog quickly took to her and they were soon playing fetch non stop. She kept me updated, was a great communicator and even sent me some pupper pics to ease my mind. Would absolutely leave my special girl with her again.”
“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!”
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.
“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.”
About: While in my care, you can be sure your pup will be spoiled with undivided love + attention. Whether we are lounging in the yard, out for a walk, or getting belly rubs on the bed, your fur-baby and I will be sure to send you photos throughout their stay to show you how much fun we are having! I have a dog and cat (and daughter!) of my own and my husband and I work from home full time, so your pet will never be lonely. Visitors will be treated the same as family members. They will receive lots of attention and have full access to our home and fenced in yard
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 been caring for pets and pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was young. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including larger breeds such as Pit Bulls, XL American Bullies, and Cane Corsos.

I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding. If your pet is staying with me, I will be home for most of the day aside from occasional errands or appointments. This allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, exercise, and companionship to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I live in a house with a yard and access to a dog park within my neighborhood, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, and enrichment. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions provided by owners and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I will provide attentive care tailored to their individual needs.

“Gingi is a fantastic house sitter!! She sincerely cares about your critters and updated us daily with photos of al of them. Her relaxed and calm demeanor helps with any separation anxiety! IT really makes leaving them so much easier knowing they are in good hands!??”
“Prana helped us out when we were going out of town, but one of our cats was not well. She helped administer medicine, and provide her love as she came back to health. Our other cats grew to love her visits as well. The daily updates from Prana were fantastic. Now we will feel much more comfortable in future knowing our pets can be taken care of so well.”
About: I have had a soft spot for cats for as long as I can remember! I grew up around both my own and several friends' household cats (inside and outside) and know my way around approaching and gaining trust from cats with varying personalities. I also have lots of experience with senior pets who need more medical care (giving shots, pills, and topical medication)!
“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!”
“Alexia is amazing! She came and met our pups before her first visit with them. She sent photos, updates, and gave them lots of pets while we were gone :). She clearly loves animals but is also obviously super knowledgeable about their care, which is invaluable! She is trustworthy and kind, and we will absolutely use her again in the future. Would highly recommend if you want a kind, knowledgeable sitter who communicates well!”
About: Hi, my name is Kenzie. I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely love spending time with them. I’m all about creating a calm, happy space where pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their people are away. What makes me different is how naturally I connect with animals and how much real experience I have. I’ve pet‑sat for lots of families with all kinds of pets and personalities, and I’m really good at helping them feel comfortable quickly. I also babysit, so families trust me to be responsible and respectful in their home. I’m easygoing, reliable, and I always make sure every pet gets plenty of love and attention.
“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: I’ve loved animals and pets my entire life. I’ve taken care of all sorts from large dogs to small, cats, fish, and livestock. I grew up on a farm and have been taking care of animals as long as I can remember. I’m an avid fly fisher and student at UGA and my partner is a full time dog groomer. Let us make your pet safe, comfortable, and happy as can be! I’m a full time student in an academic research field, so between research, studying, and class, I’m very free and would love to fill that time with furry friends. As of right now I’m home all day for summer! Pets in our household are always played with, comfortable, well fed and have an eye on them 24/7. Beyond anything else I will ensure your pet is safe and comfortable. The last thing you want while out of town is to worry about your little friends
“Russell was incredibly attentive and communicative while taking care of our cats! He took pictures at each visit and kept us up to date on what was happening with them. I would highly recommend his services!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 5 years now, from dogs to frogs! Some of my own and some from others I give each animal the love and care that they deserve. I love being outdoors in any climate whether that be hiking, jogging, or simply sitting in a field. I’d be more than happy to burn some energy with your fur baby! I work part time during the night which leaves lots of free time during the mornings to walk, feed, and check in on your pets. I occasionally have classes during the week, so I’ll already be up bright and early! I will provide your pets with loving attention, frequent walks and bathroom breaks, even playtime. I am sure to create a safe environment for your fur babies, if that means a mini play date or introduction session before sitting I am down for it all. I will stay loyal to the given instructions with proper feeding times and administer medication if/when needed.
About: I have only recently started to care for cats within the past 3 years, but I can say that it has convinced me to soon get one of my own. Since moving to The University of Georgia, I have had the best experience living with 2 cats, Juno and Ziggy. They each belong to my roomates, but I care for them many days of the week when they aren't in town. With that, each cat tends to gravitate towards my room and there are many days where I wake up with them both in my bed. I genuinely love cats and my recent experience caring for them.
“Calvin joined our family about a month ago- my dog Charlie, as well as son Sidney, and I have all grown accustomed to and enthusiastically welcome Calvin's presence in our home. Charlie looks delighted every time Calvin comes over, and the pics he sends to me of he and Charlie playing brings a smile to my face knowing that even though I can't be there myself all of the time to play, I find comfort knowing that Charlie has grown to love Calvin in my absence. And...the fact that Calvin served in the US Army is an additional bonus, as I know he understands the importance of responsibility as well as accountability.”
“Alicia you were amazing!!! Thank you for taking such great care of my babies. They were perfectly happy and content when I got back and it’s because they had you to check in each day. You made this long trip bearable for all of us. The boys and I look forward to seeing you on the next trip!!”
“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!”

“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.”
“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!”
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 work in a 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.

“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!”
“Whatever the magic that happens there, idk, but it makes Bandit crazy happy when we pull into driveway, run! to the front door, and wolf his desire to get inside! All of this without a single thought or glance my way. #seeya #he’dstayfureverisuspect. #humbledpupservant #whatevermakeshimhappy”
“Couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of our sweet Natasha. She went out of her way to accommodate us and rearranged her schedule to make it work for us. We would be very confident having Emily look after our girl the next time we need someone.”
About: After the passing of my senior dog, Fezzik, I felt the need to share my care for pets with others in my community. With experience volunteering at animal shelters and caring for senior animals, I can be the attentive caregiver your furry companion needs! I currently am starting my career in online teaching and content creation, which means I work from home and have a flexible schedule. With frequent walks already built into my schedule, I am a good fit for pets of any activity level! I live in a gated community with ample space for leashed walks and time in the grass for pets who are boarding. I maintain a clean, second-story apartment which includes a balcony and dog bed. I have my own transportation for at-home visits as well.
“Angela 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❣️”

“Super great with communication, was able to take my dog on a play date and even met a dog of his own breed another English bulldog. Was very attentive and went above and beyond. Kept me updated on Romeo’s activities. Will book again!”
About: I have had and cared for cats and dogs all my life. I have livestock and reptiles. I know how to care for a large variety of animals My schedules are short (max 4 hours) so I get to walk my dog everyday and be home with them. I get to spend lots of time caring for them. I always do exactly as i’m instructed to do with the care of others and go the extra mile with my pets and other peoples pwts
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: Growing up in a large family with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds, and having 2 dogs of my own after being the military for 5 years, my passion for dogs has exploded. My dogs come almost everywhere with me and I treat them like I would my children. I am currently unemployed and would love to be able to extend my extra time and energy to other dogs. I am currently available for pet care all day. I go to school twice a week for about 4 hours (8am to 12pm) My schedule is extremely flexible. I have over half an acre backyard that is fenced in. Me and my 3 dogs are outside most of the day so your pup will get all the exercise they need. The fence is brand new as if this week. I have 3 dog crates that I will have the dogs in while away.
“Yasmin was incredibly helpful when I needed a last-minute pet sitter! She even fit my dog & me in for a meet-and-greet visit on short notice. She was patient with my young, excited dog when introducing him to her cats and I could tell she was comfortable & trustworthy to handle my large dog on walks. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
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 grew up with dogs and have loved having them in my life ever since. When my senior dog, that I raised from a pup, passed about 8 years ago, I wanted more dogs in my life again! I know exactly what it's like having to leave a beloved friend in someone else's care. I have a safe, comfortable home with a fenced yard for your dog to feel at home in while you're away. I now have a dog of my own, she is a submissive, dog-friendly 4 year old who loves other dogs! If you have a friendly, non-aggressive dog I’d love for them to meet! I feel like I have an intuitive sense about dogs and know what they're trying to communicate when they show me what they need. I have experience with playful puppies and seniors with special needs and all ages in-between. I'm a calm, patient, fun leader. Your dog will be treated as part of the family and can sleep in bed if they so choose (let me know if this is not ok with you). I will stick with their usual routine as much as possible so they are comfortable and happy. I will take up to 2 dogs from the same family. One client at a time. I'm a graphic designer working from home so am available for doggy snuggles all day and for playing in my big yard and walks outside. I have a big yard with about a half acre fully fenced for dogs to run, play and explore. I am with them all the time outside and don’t leave them outside unsupervised.
About: As a dog mom, I know finding the right person to take care of your babies is crucial. Look no further! I have years of experience owning dogs, but I know most can check off that box. On top of that, I have over a decade of experience breeding large guardian dogs. I've learned through those years to expect the unexpected, and to think quick on my feet. I have always been sensitive to animals, and can assure you that your fur-child will be taken care of just as well as I take care of my own. Since I am a full-time online student, that means I am always at home, and able to take the time to really focus on taking care of your pup! I have experience juggling 20 dogs at a time so overwhelmed isn't a word in my dictionary. Since I am neurotic about my children, you can rest assured that I will give your dogs the attention and care that it not only needs, but deserves! I work part time from home as well as do my schooling online so I am able to easily shift things around to take care of all your pet's needs! I am a compassionate and loving person, with a soft spot for all things furry. I will treat your pets just as I do my own, like part of the family. I am patient and caring of your pets emotions and needs especially when dealing with someone they aren't familiar with! Never have I met an animal that doesn't love me, but I am ready and willing to take the time (and treats!) necessary to win any baby over.
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.

I’m all about creating a calm, happy space where pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their people are away. What makes me different is how naturally I connect with animals and how much real experience I have. I’ve pet‑sat for lots of families with all kinds of pets and personalities, and I’m really good at helping them feel comfortable quickly. I also babysit, so families trust me to be responsible and respectful in their home. I’m easygoing, reliable, and I always make sure every pet gets plenty of love and attention. I just graduated from UGA, so I have a lot of free time right now and would dedicate all of it to your pet. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so taking care of them never feels like “work” to me. I’m flexible throughout the day and can easily fit walks, playtime, feeding, and whatever routine your pet needs into my schedule. When I’m taking care of pets in a client’s home, I keep things super simple and respectful. I follow whatever routine you already have in place, keep your space clean, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and not stressed. I’m good at sticking to feeding times, walks, litter box care, and any little details you want done a certain way. I’m calm, patient, and I always let your pet set the pace. At my place, pets have plenty of room to hang out, explore, and get cozy. It’s a clean, safe space with no chaos, and I’m always paying attention to doors, windows, and anything that could be a safety issue. I love having animals around, so they get lots of attention, cuddles, and a relaxed environment where they can just be themselves. Your pet’s comfort is the main thing I focus on, and I make sure they feel happy and secure the whole time.
About: I have been house and dog/pet sitting for the past 5 years and adore working with animals! I am happy to help with pets who are more active and pets who just need someone to give them attention and be a comforting presence. I work with pets of all sizes and have lots of experience with senior pets who need more medical attention- This experience includes giving shots, pills, and applying topical medication! I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to take care and play with your fur babies! I have a flexible schedule when it comes to fitting in walks and check-ins, I am usually working on weekend mornings and afternoons, but usually only for 4-6 hours at a time! I am currently unable to take care of your pets in my home due to a dog of my own who gets stressed around new animals! I can care for your pets in whatever ways they need, whether it be giving them oodles of attention, talking or singing to them, or simply just be in the room with them as a safe presence to ease yours and their minds!
“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.”
“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 have worked at vet clinics and at barns so I have diverse experiences to handle animals. I also have had pets my whole life. I recently moved to athens to start vet school. Since it is the summer I am a free book and have time all day to watch your baby. I have a townhouse with a dog park to take your baby out. I also have a spacious living room where we can play and cuddle. In your home, I will respect your schedule and follow it to a tee.
About: From lizards to dogs & cats, I have been taking care of pets ever since I can remember. In recent years, I have cared for my family's elder dog Molly. Along side our puppy (whose not so puppy anymore) Bella. I am currently enrolled at The University of Georgia, where I live and care for 2 very fun cats, Juno and Ziggy. There are many times where I am the first to go to whenever any family member or friend needs care for their pet/pets. I am currently in the process of getting a part time job, so I am available at nearly all times of the day to care for pets. I will adhere to any instruction given to the dot. Whether it be closing doors at specific times or only letting them roam in a specific area, no matter the rules to care for a pet in or around ones home, I will follow exactly.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 5 years now, from dogs to frogs! Some of my own and some from others I give each animal the love and care that they deserve. I love being outdoors in any climate whether that be hiking, jogging, or simply sitting in a field. I’d be more than happy to burn some energy with your fur baby! I work part time during the night which leaves lots of free time during the mornings to walk, feed, and check in on your pets. I occasionally have classes during the week, so I’ll already be up bright and early! I will provide your pets with loving attention, frequent walks and bathroom breaks, even playtime. I am sure to create a safe environment for your fur babies, if that means a mini play date or introduction session before sitting I am down for it all. I will stay loyal to the given instructions with proper feeding times and administer medication if/when needed.
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was in my early teenage years. What began as a hobby turned into a life long passion. I have taken care of everything from horses to peacocks, lizards to birds, and so many in between. Whatever animal you have rest assured that my biggest priority is your peace of mind while working, traveling, or exploring. I have an animal science degree from Berry College. My most recent work experience was as the assistant manager of a doggie daycare on St Simons Island prior to moving to Athens! My time at this training focused doggie daycare gave me experience with dogs of all social levels, ages, breeds, and dispositions. I look forward to providing exceptional care to you and your pets! I am most available Monday-Fridays. I will eventually be starting a job working long hours on the weekends, but with enough notice can take off to be with your pet. I live with roommates and multiple pets so I would be most comfortable going to your home, as I don't feel comfortable bringing any additional animals into my home.
About: I’ve loved animals and pets my entire life. I’ve taken care of all sorts from large dogs to small, cats, fish, and livestock. I grew up on a farm and have been taking care of animals as long as I can remember. I’m an avid fly fisher and student at UGA and my partner is a full time dog groomer. Let us make your pet safe, comfortable, and happy as can be! I’m a full time student in an academic research field, so between research, studying, and class, I’m very free and would love to fill that time with furry friends. As of right now I’m home all day for summer! Pets in our household are always played with, comfortable, well fed and have an eye on them 24/7. Beyond anything else I will ensure your pet is safe and comfortable. The last thing you want while out of town is to worry about your little friends
About: After the passing of my senior dog, Fezzik, I felt the need to share my care for pets with others in my community. With experience volunteering at animal shelters and caring for senior animals, I can be the attentive caregiver your furry companion needs! I currently am starting my career in online teaching and content creation, which means I work from home and have a flexible schedule. With frequent walks already built into my schedule, I am a good fit for pets of any activity level! I live in a gated community with ample space for leashed walks and time in the grass for pets who are boarding. I maintain a clean, second-story apartment which includes a balcony and dog bed. I have my own transportation for at-home visits as well.
About: I’ve been caring for pets and pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was young. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including larger breeds such as Pit Bulls, XL American Bullies, and Cane Corsos. I’m comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and safety. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just lots of attention and affection, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I promise to be dependable, responsible, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I am currently a college student home for the summer and do not have another job, which allows me to offer a very flexible schedule. I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding. If your pet is staying with me, I will be home for most of the day aside from occasional errands or appointments. This allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, exercise, and companionship to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I live in a house with a yard and access to a dog park within my neighborhood, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, and enrichment. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions provided by owners and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I will provide attentive care tailored to their individual needs.
About: Hi, I'm Stephanie and I have two pups of my own. I enjoy sending updates along with pictures whether it's an overnight stay, a quick drop-in, or a walk, I'll keep you posted! My two pups (Rusty and Bindi) are friendly and comfortable around other pets, and if for whatever reason they don't get along with your pet, I have ways to keep them safely separated. I have worked with and around animals my entire life, and have never been more happy than when spending time with furry friends! I have experience working in a boarding kennel and am comfortable handling all kinds of breeds and sizes. Let me ease your mind while you're hard at work or relaxing on vacation. I will always be respectful of your home and your furry family member! I am always around to ensure your pet is receiving the attention, affection, and care they deserve. My schedule is very flexible, so if you need 1 or 3 visits a day, I'm your gal! I am adamant about safety, above all. If I am providing services in your home, I strive to protect your privacy and respect your home and space.
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.

“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!!”
“It’s a wonderful feeling when you know your family pet is loved and well taken care of while you’re away. Highly recommend Adrienne for your pet sitting needs. We have used her several times and will continue to send our loving Great Dane to her.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Absolutely wonderful!! So kind, sent us pictures every day and was very communicative! Our pup came back so sleepy since he had so much fun! He misses being with her pup too! definitely highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Diana was wonderful. I appreciated that she accommodated our situation on short notice and made modifications so that my dog was as comfortable as possible. Appreciate her flexibility.”
“This review is for the first extended stay after a previous single day stay and it was what I wish all stays could be like. For my two Dachshunds the setup at Nikki and Tom's is perfect. Both Tom and Nikki show them constant love and care - they communicate regularly and often and got some of the funniest videos of all the pups playing together. I can tell based on my dogs energy how they felt after a long stay somewhere away from me, once I picked them up from this stay they were relaxed and full of energy and clearly felt safe and not stressed during their stay. This is a big deal for me, thanks for watching them! 100% will book again.”
“Sully loves going to Adam’s place and is always relaxed when coming home. He even eats when he gets home, which is a big sign for him that he enjoyed his stay away from me! Sully takes over Adam’s bed every time and I never worry about the amount of snuggles he’s getting while I’m gone!”
“Emily was great with my older pup. Was very attentive with her medicines, her food specifications and her initial weariness. My dog quickly took to her and they were soon playing fetch non stop. She kept me updated, was a great communicator and even sent me some pupper pics to ease my mind. Would absolutely leave my special girl with her again.”
“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!”

“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!”

“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.”
“Patty was the absolute best with our new puppy when our other sitter fell through. She was patient loving and kind and even had to take her to the vet while we were out of town. I can’t recommend her enough.”
