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!

Bridget was wonderful for an overnight stay for Shelby. She was very communicative and sent many pictures and videos of her playing with and snuggling with Shelby. I would 1000% book with Bridget for any dog sitting needs!

Patti has taken care of our two fur babies twice now and we are very happy with her services. Our boys seem to really like Patti and they seem to enjoy their visits. From the pictures Patti sent us while watching our boys, the yard and patio seem perfect for small dogs without the worry of their escape. Believe me our Yorkie is an escape artist and staying with Patti we have no worries. We look forward to our next trip and booking our boy’s stay with Patti. Lynn & Denny Harley & Matey

About: I've cared for my family's Shih Ztu ever since I was 8 years old. Throughout his 13 years of life, I've also cared for my brother's Yorkie, Lab, and Golden Retriever on multiple occasions!! Now, I have my own 6 month old puppy named Zeke💕 I'm currently a full-time college student doing this as a side job. Dogs bring me an unbelievable amount of joy and are a great way to relieve some stress from school!! If I'm ever needed inside of your home, I will treat it as though it is my own. I am very responsible and understand how to clean up after myself and your doggy!

About: By day I’m a work-from-home U.S. government employee, and in my free time I manage my 10 acre homestead. I have a wealth of animal care experience on the farm: housing 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 alpacas, 4 peacocks, 5 goats, and too many chickens to count. With that cast of characters I’ve learned a lot about animal care, and have the vet on speed dial just in case lol. I have a fenced in play area which can accommodate even larger breeds and some friendly dogs of my own to keep everyone entertained (and exercised). I’m also adept at administering medications (if necessary) and will consider accommodating special needs pets on a case-by-case basis. Most importantly, I absolutely love dogs and can’t wait to hang out with yours.

About: I grew up very passionate about animals, and it didn’t help that we had 4+ dogs, cat(s), a rabbit, goldfish, and more. It was always viewed that I would pursue a career as a veterinarian because I care for common house pets, insects, and wildlife. It’s humorous to think of how obsessed I was with Steve Irwin. However, I followed a law enforcement and military-associated career, hoping to open my rescue one day. Animals are easier in packs, so nothing will ever be too much. I am a dedicated professional with a full-time job, earning my second master's degree, if not third, and more; if it’s one thing, I will always go out of my way for any creature. I will be able to help take care of your furry animal before and after work. Depending on your location and if it’s everything but boarding, I may be able to provide weekend care. Therefore, it is crucial that your animals can be left alone for 8-13 hours. I am able to provide medication if applicable but will need your pets preferred way of receiving their medicine. I own a 2 story home with a fence in yard. There are security cameras around the premises. If there are signs that your animal can not be trusted, they will be placed in a kennel while I am at work for their safety and my own dogs/cat safety. My boyfriend works within the county that we reside in and will be able to quickly go back to the house if a situation arises. All of my animals have been trained to be socialsble with other people and pets.

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.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong cat lover with years of experience caring for feline friends of all kinds — from shy seniors to energetic kittens. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I understand that each cat has a unique personality and routine. I’ve provided in-home care, feeding, litter box maintenance, medication administration (including oral and topical), and lots of love and patience. I’m familiar with multi-cat households and understand the importance of a calm, respectful presence when building trust with cats. As a responsible pet sitter, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication. I’ll send regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your cat is in good hands. Let me help keep your cat comfortable, happy, and stress-free while you’re away!

Ness is a great drop-in cat care person! One of my cats adored her—she was his food source after all! The other cat, who is quite neurotic and hides when anyone comes in the house, usually goes on an hunger strike when I’m gone but actually ate his food and even meowed for her one time. Ness’ quiet energy made everyone happy.

About: Hi! Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From high-energy puppies to slow-paced seniors, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities — each one with their own quirks and needs. Whether your pup needs daily walks, playtime in the yard, belly rubs, medication, or a consistent routine while you’re away, I’ve got you covered. I’m confident, calm, and attentive — and I always treat pets like they’re my own. I understand how hard it can be to leave your dog behind, so I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, an overnight stay, or a week of care, I’m here to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. Let’s make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and at home — even when you’re not. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to your pets — whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Because I’m not tied to a full-time job, I’m able to adjust my availability based on each pet’s needs. I make sure to build my day around their routines, so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for — just like they would with you. Whether it’s one-on-one playtime, regular feeding schedules, or keeping up with medications, I take the time to make sure everything runs smoothly. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that feels familiar and comforting. In your home: I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding and walk times to their favorite spots to nap. I keep everything clean, secure, and consistent, so your pet feels relaxed while you’re away. I’m happy to water plants, bring in mail, and keep you updated with regular photos and messages. In my home: I offer a pet-safe, cozy space where your dog (or cat, depending on needs) will get one-on-one attention and feel like part of the family. I maintain a clean environment with plenty of play, rest, and cuddle time. If your pet has special needs or routines, I’m happy to accommodate them — from crate training to medication schedules. No matter where the care happens, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, affection, and full attention to their emotional and physical well-being.
