Personalized care for your dog or cat - Antiquity

“We came all the way from Baltimore to visit friends in the area, and had to board Willow. It was Willow's first time spending the night away from us since we got her 4 months ago. Tracy was super kind and loving toward our anxious 7YO doggie. She sent photos and was watchful enough to notice some behaviors of Willow's that seemed to possibly indicate a health problem (it resolved itself). We felt Willow was getting the best possible care next to our own. We will definitely use Tracy again next time we come to visit Athens County! Thanks Tracy!”

“Lindsay did an absolutely great job with our two dogs that she boarded at her home for four days while we were out of town. The dogs loved being able to come and go from inside, sleeping on the furniture and the daily pictures and follow ups showed them enjoying everything about their stay. They were exhausted from all the attention and playing with the other dogs. They had a great stay. We will definitely use her services again.”

“She did so good with my cherry baby. She sent me lots of pictures and made sure I knew how she was doing. I will definitely go with her again.”

“Perfect fit! After adopting a dog who has some reactivity, I was worried I wouldn’t find someone to watch her and the rest of our crew (4 cats, a rabbit, and chickens) when we went on vacation. Julie put me at ease from the moment I met her and assured me she and Sasha would become friends. She did a long visit before I left and was there when we left. She let Sasha come to her and they quickly became friends. I am so thankful we found Julie. I will 100% use her again and I recommend her to anyone looking for a good sitter.”

“Duke LOVES his time with Miss Lindsay! Her and her husband are so precious & take the best care of him. Having your dog with them is like an extension of home for your fur baby - rather than taking them to an impersonal boarding place.”

About: I have 20+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. I also run a nonprofit animal sanctuary, so animal care is a major part of my everyday life. I have experience with rescue animals, seniors, shy and anxious pets, medication routines, mobility limitations, and animals who simply need a little more patience and understanding. Senior and special-needs pets are especially welcome. I’m comfortable helping with stairs, mobility support, medications, slower-paced walks, and adjusting care to whatever helps your pet feel safest and most comfortable. I’m home full-time, which means your pet gets plenty of supervision, companionship, enrichment, and one-on-one attention rather than being left alone for long stretches. Most importantly, I treat every animal as an individual and try to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible while they’re in my care. I’m home full-time and animal care is already a major part of my daily routine through my nonprofit sanctuary and rescue. That gives me a very flexible schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. Safety and comfort always come first. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and take introductions slowly when other animals are involved. I’m experienced with rescue animals, seniors, anxious pets, and animals who need extra supervision or their own space. I’m also comfortable with medications, mobility assistance, crates, gates, and keeping pets safely separated when needed.

About: I've taken care of animals of every kind since / was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and care their pets... I am looking to fill up some free time I have and I’m available on week days as well as weekends to care for your fur baby My pets run and play on a farm all day long and are treated and cared for as loving members of the family of course

“Nicole was great! She handled my two big dogs like a pro and was great communicating with this anxious dog mom.”
