“Diana did such a wonderful job with our pup. I swear he’s learned some new things. He doesn’t nip as much. He’s waiting before eating. Trainer and sitter in one. Thanks for taking us last minute. Really appreciate you and your family for caring for our baby.”
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.
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Beethoven’s stay! From the moment we met Felicia & Bradley, their family was warm, welcoming, and treated Beethoven as if he were part of their own family. They provided excellent communication throughout his stay, regularly sending pictures and videos that gave us peace of mind and allowed us to see how much fun he was having. It was clear that Beethoven was well cared for, loved, and genuinely happy in their home. In fact, he became so attached to them that he hardly wanted to leave when it was time to come home! Knowing that he was comfortable, safe, and enjoying himself made all the difference. This will definitely be Beethoven’s home away from home. We are incredibly grateful for the care and attention they provided and will not hesitate to book with them again. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and exceptional dog sitters.”
“My cat, Tim, absolutely LOVES Caylei! She sends me photos and videos throughout his time with her, and it's always obvious how happy and cared for he is. He has special needs and she dies an excellent job of caring for those needs as well as loving him.”
“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!”
“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😃”
“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! 🐾❤️”
“Excellent sitter! Received daily pictures and comments on how my dog was doing. Couldn’t be happier I now know someone who I trust to watch my dog if I go out of town again. Thank you James”
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: 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.
“Stacy was absolutely wonderful! I really appreciated that she wanted to set up a meet and greet before booking. It gave me peace of mind knowing she genuinely cares to make sure it was a good fit. While we were away, she gave very detailed updates every day with several pictures and videos. I was reassured once I saw how happy Cinnamon looked in the pictures. I will definitely book with Stacy again and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“We think she is an absolute delight to speak with and our Finley loves her. Her reassurance with photos was so sweet and thoughtful. We look forward in using her in the future with our fur family.”
“Annette is magical! Earl had a wonderful time running in the park, exploring the paths of Annette's backyard, and playing with other dogs. He returned home calm, happy, and exhausted! We are grateful for Annette and her calm approach to caring for our Earl.”
“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.”
“JR and his family are absolutely the best for my dog sitting needs. This is the second time my dog Findley has stayed with JR and both times I arrive back home to a calm happy dog. My dog is quite spoiled and JR is happy following my dogs feeding and treat routine. JR takes him for walks and plays ball with him in the nice fenced in yard. Receiving pictures while I’m on vacation is a wonderful plus that eases my mind while I am missing my dog. JR treats dogs like family and is very responsive when messaging. I highly recommend JR and so thankful to have him take good care of Findley!”
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

“Jessica was phenomenal! Our Leo ? was very well cared for and she responded quickly with the daily check-ins and all communication. Would absolutely love to work with Jessica again, and so would our Leo ?”
“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!”
“Leah did a wonderful job taking care of our 3 cats while we were gone for Thanksgiving. She did a phenomenal job caring for our cats and spending quality time with them. Our house was left in good shape and clean. We’ve hired Leah many times before and she doesn’t disappoint. Thank you for taking such good care of our babies.”
“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.”
About: I’ve cared for cats my whole life, from growing up with them to raising my own cat, Ponyo. I also regularly cat sit for family, so I’m comfortable with different cats and their needs.
“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!”
“Aubrey replied promptly to our pet sitting request and scheduled a visit to meet our cats that evening. She was very comfortable handling and giving medication to our senior kitty with hyperthyroidism. She let us know she was coming before each visit and sent multiple photos and videos of each of our cats, including the one who likes to hide. When we forgot that we had a Chewy order coming, she unboxed the items and put them away and she brought in our deliveries. She also agreed to an extra visit on our return date, when we were worried that we would get in late. We were pleased with the care she provided to our pets and would hire her again.”
“Emily took fantastic care of our cats and rescue pigeon! We really appreciated that she was observant and asked about unusual behaviors to make sure everything was okay while taking care of our pets. We enjoyed our vacation so much more because we knew our pets were under such excellent care when we were gone! We would be thrilled to have Emily take care of our pets in the future!”
“I’ve used Crystal twice now to watch my kitty and she always send pics. It makes me feel better knowing there is someone checking in on my cat while we are out of town!”
“Linda was super helpful with my last last-minute request for my cat. She followed all of my instructions and maintained thorough communication. She was friendly, kind, and great with my cat. He’s picky sometimes with people and he took right to her, so I think we’d both give her five stars!”
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, but I am done at 4:30PM every weekday except for Friday - on Fridays, I am done at 1 PM. I also have flexibility in my schedule, so I can stop by to take care of any needs during the day or work from home if a pet needs additional care. 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.

“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!”
“Morgan took such good care of our kitties. She followed our instructions and made sure they all got love and playtime. We received adorable photos every day. I would definitely recommend her to other pet parents.”
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.

“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!”
“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!”
“Oscar practically leaps out of our arms when we get to Nikki and Tom's house! They always send many pictures of him throughout the day, and he is clearly having a great time and as well loved. I can't believe how lucky we are to have found them to take care of our little buddy!”

I currently work full-time at Oconee Veterinary Hospital and have several years of experience in both veterinary and pet care settings. In addition to my hands-on experience, I’m also a full-time college student studying in the medical field, which has enhanced my knowledge of animal health, behavior, and overall care.

I make it a priority to maintain your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for while you’re away.
“Marlina was fantastic, was super sweet and accommodating for our shy puppy, especially with our dog’s needs for pee pads. She was very gentle and considerate in introducing her dogs to Luna one at a time so everyone could get acquainted smoothly and successfully! We loved the pictures taken throughout the day! Luna had a wonderful time during her play date with Marlina and her dogs!”

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.

“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❣️”

“Trina is AMAZING!! So sweet with our puppy and her dog is great with the puppy as well! She sent many pictures and videos even though our pup was only there for 5 hours. You can’t go wrong booking with her!”
About: I took care of my senior toy poodle until her dying days. She was 15, blind, and deaf, so i know how to care for different ability levels. I house trained my pomsky from being the tasmanian devil into a rambunctious pup who listens to me and responds to commands. I rescued my kitty after she was found in a dumpster and raised her into a healthy, energetic, highly food-motivated cat. I am patient, flexible, bring treats, and always make sure to put their safety and comfort first. No detail or request is too specific; no pet is too much to love or care for. I am located in both Athens, GA and the general Jacksonville, FL area. My location changes depending on the season! I can work from anywhere as long as I have my phone or computer with me so my availability is very flexible. My schedule is set to change in the fall with my classes. I prefer to take care of your pets in their natural environment. I will never bring my dog with me into their space; I want to make sure they know I am a trusted visitor in their space. I will meticulously follow whatever instructions I am given and will effectively communicate if anything goes sideways. I will also write a lil report on their activities and behavior for your comfort as their primary caretaker, when requested :).
About: 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: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and lifelong experience caring for them.

About: I've cared for a wide range of pets for many years and am adaptable to pets of all personalities and abilities! Creating a loving and positive environment for the pets is my top priority and I am committed to be a reliable pet care solution for every owner! As a Health Promotion student at UGA taking classes in the morning and afternoon, I am able to provide pet care in the evenings. I am very flexible with my days and hours! I can provide a safe and nurturing environment for your pet that allows me to devote my full attention to them! I am extremely attentive to your pet's health and their specific needs!
About: I love animals and befriending all sorts of pets no matter how short or long my time! I have always had a pet in my life ranging from small rodents, dogs and cats. The longest pet relationships I've had are three dogs and a playful cat named Matty that took on the personality of a playful pup. For Doggy Day Care: Currently, I work from home and am able to host small dogs during the day with my own puppy. They will be housed indoors and given potty breaks every 2-4 hours. Please expect your dog to be crated if they are not potty trained and for time outs if they are too hyper. Otherwise, they are free to roam the designated doggy areas and also get to lounge on the couch! Requirements for day care: new clients must provide proof of vaccination, be on monthly parasite control, and should not have history of aggression towards other dogs or strangers. This is necessary to keep my dog safe as well as yours during their stay. Fully vaccinated puppies over 4 months old are also welcome. For House Sitting Care: House sitting is currently on hold. I have house sat for many friends and coworkers who needed dog, cat, or bunny care. I am someone who will easily befriend any pet and make sure they are comfortable throughout your absence. You can also rely on me to keep your home how you left it and am in the habit of tidying up after myself pretty well at client homes.If there are accidents, I am known to clean up or take care of things in the house for you until your return. Whenever I have plans during the stay, I would not stay away for longer than 6 hours. With permission from clients or clients that allow me to bring an additional family member, I have found it beneficial to be able to ask my sister or partner to come along and keep an eye on the pets while I'm away. :D So, if you think I am a good fit for your house sitting needs or drop ins: Please let me know what level of communication you would like throughout my assistance so I can be mindful of whether you want quiet time away or would like updates often. If I haven't heard from you, I will usually do a nightcap with photos and short stories about your pet. :-) I work from home and have a lot of freedom to take care of your dog at my own home. Your dog would follow the current routine I have for my own which is a cycle of potty, play time, nap/rest, and a walk in the afternoon. I enforce crate naps for my puppy, however, we can discuss what your dog needs. I live in an apartment complex that offers two small fields with dog potty stations. I have a lot of experience walking a variety of dogs, so you can be sure to feel safe leaving your dog with me. The front door is also blocked with a 30 inch tall pen so your dog will never be able to bolt through an open door during the stay. We will provide an extra crate for your dog here and they will be supervised most of the time while they are here.

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: My experience consists of watching family and friends dogs and occasionally cats. I had a small yorkie with hip dysplasia and cushings that required meds frequently and I had a black lab mix that has also passed away, who was blind in one eye and deaf. I offer companionship and exercise for your pets when you're away. I can help with training, taking them for long walks, going to the restroom, administering medications, or just being an awesome petter for your puppy (because all dogs are puppies, no matter how old). I occasionally work weekends from 8-2pm at a hotel, but am usually up very early and can walk your dog as early as 5am if needed. I have a fully Remote job and will be able to spend the majority of the day with your pets. **Constant 24/7 care will have a higher nightly rate, if they are not able to be left alone in any capacity, as I will have to rearrange my schedule. When I walk my dogs, I prefer them to be in a harness for their comfort and safety. I make sure to watch the dogs closely, so if I see any signs of stress, I will promptly remove them from the situation. During the summer months especially, I will make sure to walk them early in the morning or in well shaded areas to make sure their paws are well protected from the hot pavement. I carry a dog water bottle with me on my walks, so they always have access to clean water if needed. When dog sitting, I take them out constantly, offer lots of playtime and stimulation while there, and always make sure the area is clean.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs of my own and those belonging to friends and family for years. I have no problem feeding, exercising, playing with, and cleaning up after cats and dogs. I also have experience dispensing medicine and caring for sick cats and dogs. I’m currently working part time, but I should have lots of time off this upcoming month (July/August). I can pet sit on busy days as long as owner is comfortable with me possibly leaving for hours at a time. In my home, I like to keep my cat inside. My back yard is fenced in for our dog. I try my best to keep the house clean and orderly to avoid any potential danger for my pets, and would do the same for yours. For walking, leashes are always a must.
“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 don't have any professional experience, but I've grown up in a family that has housed a lot of dogs and cats since I was born. We've had 4 dogs and 7 cats from my early childhood until today, so while I did obviously have the rest of my family to assist with them, I've still had firsthand experience with a lot of different behaviors and habits of these pets and how certain traits or preferences vary between them. I finished college at UGA recently, so I'm currently at home full-time. Pet care would be pretty easy to fit into my weekly schedule. I always try to make sure I feed my cat her treats once a day around the same time, so consistent feeding and cleaning wouldn't be that much harder with additional pets. I am gone some evenings on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, but other than that my time is fully open to help your pets stay relaxed, happy, and healthy. My backyard has a fence, but it's currently old and unrepaired, so the gates cannot close properly, so any pets prone to running will be staying inside or on a leash. My house is very small, but my front and backyard are very spacious, ideal for pets that are uncomfortable in small spaces. My cat can be skittish around other animals, so I will need to keep her in a separate space from them, but my family's done that with many of our cats, so it will not be a problem for the client or their pets. My roommate stays inside most of the time, so but he's also very friendly and should not pose any issues for the pets.
About: I am a huge pet lover too! I have had dogs my entire life and have recently become a cat owner as well. I am a full-time college student so I do have to work around my class schedule. However, I am still willing to house sit, pet sit, dog walk, etc when I am available. If you would like me to house sit, I am able to stay at your house or remain at my own depending on your preference. I do allow pets in my car if that is necessary and will always be happy to play with them whenever and wherever you prefer. If you ever have any questions or concerns, I am always a simple text or phone call away. :) Heres my PROMO CODE to get a $20 DISCOUNT if you're a first time Rover user! CATHES06378
About: I’m a veterinary student with over six years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine as a Lead Veterinary Assistant. I’ve cared for puppies, senior pets, anxious animals, and pets with medical needs, including administering medications. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or specialized care, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and keep you updated every step of the way. As a veterinary student, my schedule varies throughout the year, but I keep my Rover calendar updated and communicate promptly. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and medication administration whenever my schedule allows, and I always make sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With years of experience in veterinary medicine, I’m trained to recognize signs of illness, handle nervous or fearful pets, and administer medications when needed. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, keep their environment safe and clean, and provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I've been a dog owner my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a part of who I am. Every dog has their own personality and routine, and I enjoy taking the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. One of the most meaningful parts of my experience has been caring for senior dogs and providing compassionate end-of-life care. I understand how important patience, consistency, and gentle attention are during every stage of a dog's life. Whether your pet needs medication, a slower-paced walk, extra cuddles, or simply someone to keep them company, I'm happy to provide the care they deserve. I value responsibility, communication, and attention to detail, and I'll care for your pet with the same dedication I bring to every commitment. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your dog feels happy, safe, and cared for. I truly love spending time with animals and am excited for the opportunity to give back to my community by helping local families care for their beloved pets. As a Ph.D. student, I have a flexible schedule and set my own working hours. Most of my research and academic work can be completed remotely, which allows me to spend a significant amount of time at home. I typically go into the lab for only a few hours each day and live very close to my workplace, so I often come home during lunch as well. This flexibility means your dog won't be left alone for long periods of time. I'll have plenty of opportunities throughout the day to provide companionship, playtime, and attention. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, games of fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I can also provide regular potty breaks, outdoor exercise, and enrichment activities to keep your dog happy and engaged. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine as much as possible while giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in my home, I do everything I can to help them feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications, and any special needs, so they can maintain a sense of familiarity while you're away. Throughout the day, your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime, enrichment, and affection. My home has a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely explore, play, and enjoy frequent potty breaks. I also live near a park, making it easy to provide longer walks, fresh air, and extra exercise for dogs who enjoy getting out and exploring. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized cats who are comfortable around dogs. They are calm, respectful of other animals, and have experience living alongside canine visitors. If your dog enjoys feline company, they'll have friendly companions, and if they prefer their own space, I'm happy to provide separate areas so everyone feels safe and comfortable. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I'll provide regular updates and photos while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, loved, and receiving the best possible care.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and lifelong experience caring for them. I’ve been watching and caring for dogs since I was 10, and I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the same love and attention I’d give my own. I am a nurse but only work 3 days a week, and I’d love to help out on my days off! I have weekends off :) I provide safe and attentive care for walks and drop-in visits. I always follow your dog’s routine, ensure secure entry and exits, and keep them on a safe leash at all times. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy levels, and comfort, making sure they feel happy, calm, and well cared for while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and peace of mind are my top priorities
About: I’ve grown up with animals for pretty much my whole life, and have always loved having them around! In the last few years, I’ve been living alone and touring for work, so I can’t morally have a cat or dog of my own. I have a crested gecko and a california king snake (named Minkie and Burger) that keep to themselves, and honestly most of the time they are completely still or have hidden themselves in some foliage, so they’ve never been much interest to dogs or cats that have been in my house. Half of the time I work from home, either mixing or making string arrangements for albums. If I am working at a studio or running sound at a venue, I’m able to take a break to let out anyone who needs to be let out, but ideally would just schedule myself for days where I’m already working from home. Ideally I’d be able to be around them as much as possible! I’m a bit of a homebody when I get the chance, so I’d make sure they’re the center of attention :)
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was ten years old for neighbors and family. I have a bachelors in animal science from UGA and currently work in a local animal clinic for cats and dogs. This clinic offers regular and medical boarding and I am comfortable with animals in all stages of life as well as those that might require a little extra time and attention. I am CPR certified and have training to administer medications and fluids and monitor critically ill patients. I work Mondays-Thursday’s 7:30-6 and can be flexible with a lunch hour to provide for all types of needs. I am open all weekends and holidays. I have one sweet medium sized fur baby who is a shepherd mix, she is friendly with all sizes and breeds. I typically care for pets in a clients home as I find this can minimize stress related clinical signs from manifesting. I love to be active and can incorporate that into your high energy pets needs or can snuggle with your low energy pet and read a book. I monitor my dogs food and water intake closely and actively observe them when outside, I treat all my pet sitting babies the same as I would my own girl.
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have years of hands-on experience caring for them. From high-energy dogs who need long walks to laid-back cats who just want attention and consistency. I’m confident handling different personalities and needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping your pet safe and comfortable. Working part time at Publix so pretty much on my off days i can stop by and check on the pets when you need me I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pet company. I provide a safe, supervised environment and can crate your dog if needed. I always follow your pet’s routine, keep their space clean, and make sure they feel comfortable and secure.
About: @ahartpetsitting on insta!! I’ve been taking care of animals as long as I can remember. Hermit crabs, guinea pigs, lizards, fish, chickens, you name it! I just love every animal, and I still believe that they can speak, just not when we’re in the room. I work professionally with dogs every single day as a manager of a dog care facility. I’m known for liking the “bad dogs” at work along with special needs and older pets as well (I love powdered sugar faces)! I treat each animal as my own, and I would do the same with yours! I work full time as a manager at a doggy daycare, I would be able to get you a registration forms and take your pup to work with me if you’d like! My job is very flexible so I can also come home at any point and let your pup out instead of bringing them with me. I am also open to not working during the time I care for your pet. Message me and let’s talk! If you don’t have a dog, I am more than happy to talk with you and figure out if I need to come home for breaks or not work! I care for each pet exactly how owners ask me too, just with lots of extra love! I can chill if that’s what your pet likes to do, or I can adventure. I love being outside in nature as well as cozying up on the couch :)
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.
About: I have 180 hours of vet experience working under and experience veterinarian. I have volunteered for many dog shelter organizations including Athens-Clarke County animal shelter. I have an anxious dog back home and know all the tricks to calm him down. I love animals and hope to become a wildlife animal veterinarian in the not too distant future. I am available from Friday-Monday. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am available after 5:00 for night walks. Wednesdays the only time I am not free is from 12:00 - 4:00 I create a safe environment, make sure they get regular exercise, proper nutrition, veterinary care, social interaction, I follow detailed instructions, and respectful to the boundaries your animals set.
“Susie is awesome!!! Took great care of my pup who can be a handful at times. She’s a great communicator too which is helpful when letting a stranger into your home to care for your 4 legged family. Highly recommend!”

“Diana did such a wonderful job with our pup. I swear he’s learned some new things. He doesn’t nip as much. He’s waiting before eating. Trainer and sitter in one. Thanks for taking us last minute. Really appreciate you and your family for caring for our baby.”

“My cat, Tim, absolutely LOVES Caylei! She sends me photos and videos throughout his time with her, and it's always obvious how happy and cared for he is. He has special needs and she dies an excellent job of caring for those needs as well as loving him.”
“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!”
“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😃”
“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! 🐾❤️”

“We think she is an absolute delight to speak with and our Finley loves her. Her reassurance with photos was so sweet and thoughtful. We look forward in using her in the future with our fur family.”
“Annette is magical! Earl had a wonderful time running in the park, exploring the paths of Annette's backyard, and playing with other dogs. He returned home calm, happy, and exhausted! We are grateful for Annette and her calm approach to caring for our Earl.”
“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.”

“Went from worrying if my dog was going to miss me when I’m gone to does my dog like her sitter more than me! Genevieve loves hanging with Adam and it’s evident she’s well cared and loved when she is with him!”
“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 😊.”
“Beverly took amazing care of our fur babies! We even extended our trip & she was very accommodating! It’s so nice to know we didn’t have to worry them & knew they were being loved! Thank you so much!”
“I was so worried about leaving my dog with anyone. I met Jonathan and one of his dogs at a park and his calm demeanor put my dog at ease right away. He definitely understands dogs. Within minutes of dropping my dog off at his house on the day of boarding, Jonathan sent me a video of the dogs which put my mind at rest. I had numerous photos and reports throughout the two days. I now have someone who is kind, capable and thoughtful that I can trust to leave my big guy with. Thank you, Jonathan, for being a welcoming host! Thank you, Rover, for working with such a quality person!”
“Anita was amazing with my Jimmy. She sent constant photos and he loved all the interactions with her dogs. With a new baby at home, he sadly doesn't get much play time so the throughly enjoyed his stay and hopes to do it again next time we leave! Couldn't promote Anita more :)”
“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!”
