“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.”
“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!”
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.
“Ms Becky was absolutely Amazing with my pup Cali, and Cali enjoyed been there with Ms Becky. The one thing Cali had to adapt to Ms Becky until she was comfortable it’s turned out to be an amazing experience for her. I definitely recommend Ms Becky. She definitely took good care of Cali for a weekend while my husband and I was attending an event out of town🤗 Thank you again Ms Becky, We definitely will be back😃”
“My cat, Tim, absolutely LOVES Caylei! She sends me photos and videos throughout his time with her, and it's always obvious how happy and cared for he is. He has special needs and she dies an excellent job of caring for those needs as well as loving him.”
“Annette was professional, communicative, and proficient. She took good care of my semi-senior Yorkshire terrier. I will definitely employ Annette’s services again, and I highly recommend her as a dog-sitter.”
“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.”
About: I've been a dog owner my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a part of who I am. Every dog has their own personality and routine, and I enjoy taking the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. One of the most meaningful parts of my experience has been caring for senior dogs and providing compassionate end-of-life care. I understand how important patience, consistency, and gentle attention are during every stage of a dog's life. Whether your pet needs medication, a slower-paced walk, extra cuddles, or simply someone to keep them company, I'm happy to provide the care they deserve. I value responsibility, communication, and attention to detail, and I'll care for your pet with the same dedication I bring to every commitment. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your dog feels happy, safe, and cared for. I truly love spending time with animals and am excited for the opportunity to give back to my community by helping local families care for their beloved pets. As a Ph.D. student, I have a flexible schedule and set my own working hours. Most of my research and academic work can be completed remotely, which allows me to spend a significant amount of time at home. I typically go into the lab for only a few hours each day and live very close to my workplace, so I often come home during lunch as well. This flexibility means your dog won't be left alone for long periods of time. I'll have plenty of opportunities throughout the day to provide companionship, playtime, and attention. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, games of fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I can also provide regular potty breaks, outdoor exercise, and enrichment activities to keep your dog happy and engaged. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine as much as possible while giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in my home, I do everything I can to help them feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications, and any special needs, so they can maintain a sense of familiarity while you're away. Throughout the day, your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime, enrichment, and affection. My home has a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely explore, play, and enjoy frequent potty breaks. I also live near a park, making it easy to provide longer walks, fresh air, and extra exercise for dogs who enjoy getting out and exploring. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized cats who are comfortable around dogs. They are calm, respectful of other animals, and have experience living alongside canine visitors. If your dog enjoys feline company, they'll have friendly companions, and if they prefer their own space, I'm happy to provide separate areas so everyone feels safe and comfortable. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I'll provide regular updates and photos while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, loved, and receiving the best possible care.

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.
“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!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! 🌟 From the moment we met, I knew my dog was in great hands, and that feeling only grew while I was away. I got updates, adorable photos, and it was so clear my pup was happy, loved, and treated like family. Coming home to a relaxed, happy dog says everything! Thank you for taking such incredible care and giving me complete peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again, and I highly recommend you to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely amazing with dogs. You’re the best! 🐾❤️”
“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 😊.”
“Xionella was absolutely wonderful to our baby! We received a ton of pictures and videos all weekend, making us feel very secure that he was in good hands. The communication was clear and consistent, keeping us updated and respecting any instructions or boundaries we gave. Our dog came home happy and very tired! He was clearly loved and played with throughout his time with Xionella!”
“Our dog lady seemed to be having a great time! Daily photos and videos reassured us of her comfort! The yard was huge and fenced in! Thank you for watching our sweet girl!”
“Rudy absolutely loved staying with Avery at her place! She and her husband are so kind and it's obvious they love dogs and care for them as they would their own. Rudy loved going on walks and cuddling. I highly recommend Avery as a petsitter and I know Rudy would love to stay with her again!”

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: 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!”
“Sierra was fantastic. We could not have asked for a better person to pop in on Pirate. She was very communicative, friendly, and professional. She helped give our cat the medication that she regularly takes, and it was such a relief to know that aspect of her care was covered. Would happily work with her again and cannot recommend her more. ❤️💕❤️💕”
“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!”
“Jessica was incredible about sending us updates while we were away and letting us know that our critters were doing well. She couldn't have met our expectations better.”
“Dan & Kat have watched our boys a couple of times now and every time it is the best experience! Our boys love them and when we're out of town we can rest easy knowing Dan & Kat are on the job. 😊”
“Linda was amazing! She went above and beyond when looking after my cat and my house. Linda provided thorough updates about my cat and made sure my home stayed in good shape while I was away. I would definitely book with Linda again!”
“Per usual, Lauren was great!!! We loved all the pictures and updates! My kitties look so happy! Definitely help my husband and I breathe easier knowing Lauren is caring for them! You only want the best for your fur babies, and Lauren is the best!”
“Michele did a wonderful job looking after our ferrets. We have a unique situation where one is super hyper and needs to burn off a ton of extra energy and the other one is older, laid back and just needs to stretch out and lounge. She made sure both got exactly what they needed. We came home to two happy fuzzies with spotless cages, fresh water and full food bowls. We’d definitely recommend her. She’s a great pet sitter!”
“I have three cats, and one of them still requires special care. Ilana was wonderful, honest, and incredibly caring with all of them. I left them in her care for four days, and she was always willing to help and went above and beyond. I truly recommend her, and if I ever need a pet sitter again, I won’t hesitate to contact her.”
“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.”

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.

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.

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 have my own transportation for at-home visits as well.
“Angela is very responsive, sends plenty of updates during your dog's stay, and made our pup feel right at home! Plus she has an encyclopedic knowledge of all things canine. She was even able to accommodate a *very* last minute schedule change with no issues. I would absolutely recommend her for any of your doggy related needs!”
“Wow, Nikki and Tim are amazing ? ! All of the pictures and the genuine attention and sense of fun Nikki offers warmed our hearts! I swear our little pup was sad to leave ?. We feel so lucky so have discovered this gem of a sometime-home for our buddy!”
“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.”

About: I took care of my senior toy poodle until her dying days. She was 15, blind, and deaf, so i know how to care for different ability levels. I house trained my pomsky from being the tasmanian devil into a rambunctious pup who listens to me and responds to commands. I rescued my kitty after she was found in a dumpster and raised her into a healthy, energetic, highly food-motivated cat. I am patient, flexible, bring treats, and always make sure to put their safety and comfort first. No detail or request is too specific; no pet is too much to love or care for.

I can work from anywhere as long as I have my phone or computer with me so my availability is very flexible. My schedule is set to change in the fall with my classes. I prefer to take care of your pets in their natural environment. I will never bring my dog with me into their space; I want to make sure they know I am a trusted visitor in their space. I will meticulously follow whatever instructions I am given and will effectively communicate if anything goes sideways. I will also write a lil report on their activities and behavior for your comfort as their primary caretaker, when requested :).

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!

While pursuing my BS of Animal Science at ISU (Class of '19) I worked at Lloyd Veterinary Medical Hospital with equines of all ages, and spent several years as professional Animal caretaker working at the USDA with small animals. I have experience with dogs and cats, young and old, as well as rodents and other small animal pets, geckos, and freshwater aquarium fish. I am semi-retired, and work my own hours part time so schedule is flexible and it's easy for me to fit your pet(s) into my daily life Your pets will be most comfortable in their own environment, and I am committed to caring for them in a way most similar to what they are accustomed to.

I can pet sit on busy days as long as owner is comfortable with me possibly leaving for hours at a time. In my home, I like to keep my cat inside. My back yard is fenced in for our dog. I try my best to keep the house clean and orderly to avoid any potential danger for my pets, and would do the same for yours. For walking, leashes are always a must.

About: Hi, I’m Phoebe! I’m a college student and a lifelong animal lover. Since having a pet of my own isn’t realistic right now, I love spending time caring for other people’s pets through Rover. I grew up with an Alaskan Malamute and was heavily involved in his care, from daily walks and outdoor adventures to plenty of cuddle time and attention at home. I also grew up with cats and have always loved their unique personalities, whether that means playtime, affection, or simply keeping them company. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, and I’ll treat yours with the same care, patience, and attention I would give my own. Spending time with animals genuinely brightens my day, and I’m grateful for every opportunity to get to know a new furry friend. I currently work on Mondays from 11-4 and Tuesdays thru Thursdays from 8-1 at the City Hall in Athens! I live close by and can stop by before or after work on most days! I do my best to follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay on their normal routine and feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I also love sending photos and updates from my visits so you can stay connected and know your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up in a home full of both cats and dogs. Caring for pets has always come naturally to me, and having pets of my own has taught me patience, responsibility, and how important it is to give them the extra love and attention they deserve. I recently said goodbye to my 13-year-old Labrador Retriever, my best friend, but not long after, I found and took in a scrawny feral kitten who is now absolutely thriving and living his best life. I also worked as a veterinary technician assistant for a year, where I gained hands-on experience supporting veterinarians and learning how to properly care for animals of all ages and needs. This experience taught me how to be attentive, detail-oriented, and confident in handling a variety of situations. Whether it’s keeping up with routines, providing playtime and enrichment, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I treat every pet like my own. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Alongside my commitment to Rover, I also work a part-time role that requires a few days of in-office attendance. That said, I maintain a flexible schedule throughout the week and am always fully available on weekends. I’m more than happy to accommodate your routine and ensure your pet receives the care, attention, and exercise they deserve when you’re away! While I don’t have a large yard, my neighborhood offers plenty of safe walking trails and a nearby community dog park, giving your pet great opportunities to stay active, happy, and well-exercised.

My backyard has a fence, but it's currently old and unrepaired, so the gates cannot close properly, so any pets prone to running will be staying inside or on a leash. My house is very small, but my front and backyard are very spacious, ideal for pets that are uncomfortable in small spaces. My cat can be skittish around other animals, so I will need to keep her in a separate space from them, but my family's done that with many of our cats, so it will not be a problem for the client or their pets. My roommate stays inside most of the time, so but he's also very friendly and should not pose any issues for the pets.
About: I have had dogs and cats in my life since I was a baby, I currently have two dogs of my own at my house. I currently work full time Monday through Friday 6:30am to 3:30/4PM I am available anytime on Saturday and Sunday as well. I am also pretty flexible. Diesel is extremely friendly and gets along well with others and he will be a good dog to keep yours company! I have a 50ft Lead for the dog to roam the back yard.
About: I have loved dogs since I was a child and have had them all growing up. Professionally I have worked at a overnight dog boarding kennel for two years! I work Monday through Friday with autistic children but I’m available before and after work as well as the whole weekends to take care of your pups! I love to take care of dogs in their own home so that they will feel more safe and secure in the safety of their own space!
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 have two cats, one 10 (Tiger), one 8 (Tuxedo) and a genuine love for all animals. I will follow your pet care instructions and ensure your pet receives top care and affection. I specialize in caring for your felines!! I am currently retired and available for your pet/cat care. I love animals. I don't even eat them!!! I've had animals all my life ranging from horses to cats, but I want to specialize in cat care as sometimes they feel like an afterthought. I can watch your cat in your home or mine (if they have shots) and it works. Although most cats are most comfortable in their own home. I love animals!!

“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.”
“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!”
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.

“Ms Becky was absolutely Amazing with my pup Cali, and Cali enjoyed been there with Ms Becky. The one thing Cali had to adapt to Ms Becky until she was comfortable it’s turned out to be an amazing experience for her. I definitely recommend Ms Becky. She definitely took good care of Cali for a weekend while my husband and I was attending an event out of town🤗 Thank you again Ms Becky, We definitely will be back😃”
“My cat, Tim, absolutely LOVES Caylei! She sends me photos and videos throughout his time with her, and it's always obvious how happy and cared for he is. He has special needs and she dies an excellent job of caring for those needs as well as loving him.”
“Annette was professional, communicative, and proficient. She took good care of my semi-senior Yorkshire terrier. I will definitely employ Annette’s services again, and I highly recommend her as a dog-sitter.”
About: I've been a dog owner my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a part of who I am. Every dog has their own personality and routine, and I enjoy taking the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. One of the most meaningful parts of my experience has been caring for senior dogs and providing compassionate end-of-life care. I understand how important patience, consistency, and gentle attention are during every stage of a dog's life. Whether your pet needs medication, a slower-paced walk, extra cuddles, or simply someone to keep them company, I'm happy to provide the care they deserve. I value responsibility, communication, and attention to detail, and I'll care for your pet with the same dedication I bring to every commitment. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your dog feels happy, safe, and cared for. I truly love spending time with animals and am excited for the opportunity to give back to my community by helping local families care for their beloved pets. As a Ph.D. student, I have a flexible schedule and set my own working hours. Most of my research and academic work can be completed remotely, which allows me to spend a significant amount of time at home. I typically go into the lab for only a few hours each day and live very close to my workplace, so I often come home during lunch as well. This flexibility means your dog won't be left alone for long periods of time. I'll have plenty of opportunities throughout the day to provide companionship, playtime, and attention. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, games of fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I can also provide regular potty breaks, outdoor exercise, and enrichment activities to keep your dog happy and engaged. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine as much as possible while giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in my home, I do everything I can to help them feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications, and any special needs, so they can maintain a sense of familiarity while you're away. Throughout the day, your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime, enrichment, and affection. My home has a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely explore, play, and enjoy frequent potty breaks. I also live near a park, making it easy to provide longer walks, fresh air, and extra exercise for dogs who enjoy getting out and exploring. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized cats who are comfortable around dogs. They are calm, respectful of other animals, and have experience living alongside canine visitors. If your dog enjoys feline company, they'll have friendly companions, and if they prefer their own space, I'm happy to provide separate areas so everyone feels safe and comfortable. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I'll provide regular updates and photos while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, loved, and receiving the best possible care.
“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!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! 🌟 From the moment we met, I knew my dog was in great hands, and that feeling only grew while I was away. I got updates, adorable photos, and it was so clear my pup was happy, loved, and treated like family. Coming home to a relaxed, happy dog says everything! Thank you for taking such incredible care and giving me complete peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again, and I highly recommend you to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely amazing with dogs. You’re the best! 🐾❤️”
“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 😊.”
“Xionella was absolutely wonderful to our baby! We received a ton of pictures and videos all weekend, making us feel very secure that he was in good hands. The communication was clear and consistent, keeping us updated and respecting any instructions or boundaries we gave. Our dog came home happy and very tired! He was clearly loved and played with throughout his time with Xionella!”
“Our dog lady seemed to be having a great time! Daily photos and videos reassured us of her comfort! The yard was huge and fenced in! Thank you for watching our sweet girl!”
“Rudy absolutely loved staying with Avery at her place! She and her husband are so kind and it's obvious they love dogs and care for them as they would their own. Rudy loved going on walks and cuddling. I highly recommend Avery as a petsitter and I know Rudy would love to stay with her again!”
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
“They are amazing, as always! Kept me updated throughout Tilly’s entire stay and sent me tons of cute pictures and videos. Tilly absolutely loves Nikki & Tom, it’s like Disney World for her!”
“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.”
