“We prayed about our dogs safety, comfort and care while we were gone during spring break. Meghan has been God’s good gift to us and our pup! So happy to have found a great caregiver and home!”

“Oliver had a great time here! Thank you all so much for taking care of our little guy. When he got home, he was worn out from playtime. Will definitely book with you again!”

“I can't say enough great things about Aric! He gave us all the confidence that Whiskey's visit would be great - and it was! Convenient area, great rate, and fantastic care! We will definitely use Aric again and recommend him to family and friends in the Athens area!”

“Our pet was treated like one of the family! I was sent photos daily and had absolutely no concerns about how my dog was doing while we were gone. I would definitely use them again!”

“I’ve left Harry with her several times, and each time he gets so excited to see her. It’s clear how happy he is at her place. Today, when I went to pick him up, he didn’t even seem like he wanted to leave—he must’ve had such a great time! Thank you so much for always taking such good care of him!”

“Billie Jo was truly exceptional, an absolute dream to work with! From the start, her professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals gave us complete peace of mind. She went above and beyond in caring for our fur babies, treating them like her own. We received thoughtful updates every morning and evening, along with adorable photos throughout the day that made us feel so connected while we were away. It's rare to find someone so attentive, reliable, and compassionate. We've already booked Billie Jo for our next trip, and we feel completely confident knowing our dogs will be in such capable and caring hands. Highly, highly recommend!”


“Stephanie is wonderful. She took care of dog for a week. I received lots of pictures. Whenever I asked how my dog was doing, she always responded in a timely matter. She is kind and loves animals. I will use her again and I highly recommend her.”

“I could already tell within 10 minutes that my pup was going to be so loved and cared for during her weekend at Shawna’s house. Our vacation got abruptly cancelled and Shawna was so accommodating and flexible. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Viviana and Brian are the most loving and conscientious pet care givers! They are very attentive, sending me photos and videos daily, and thoughtfully taking care of any injuries or issues that may arise. They are THE BEST!!!”

“Jessica came through again. We had to leave a day early and Jessica flexed to take Sully. Then our return trip had unexpected delays and she stepped up last minute to keep our boy an extra night. We are so appreciative for her support. Our boy loves his time with Jessica and her family, especially his buddy Tucker!”

“Simply the best, better than all the rest…. I can enjoy my vacations knowing that my dog is well taken care of with Cassandra and her family. My dog basically gets to have a second family with them! They take great care of her!”

“Michelle is a wonderful pet sitter. She send me texts and pictures daily about how my dog was doing. Michelle gave me peace of mind knowing my dog is safe, happy and well take care of.”

“Amazing Family! We brought our dogs with us to TN for the thanksgiving holiday and Cody and Rachel cared for them as we went to several family gatherings throughout our trip. They were so accommodating, even waiting up for us the night of drop off. If we ever bring them again, we will be sure to see if Cody and Rachel are available. Highly recommend!!! Thank you so much for taking such good care of our dogs!”

“April and Rob were wonderful! This was the first time I was away from my dogs for a whole week and they made sure that I had no reasons to worry while on vacation. I hope to be able to use them next time I have to leave town and I will definitely recommend to others.”

“We were so glad to find Katie when we needed a place for our pup, Molli! Katie has a great setup for taking care of your pet. Fenced yard, screened porch, and a good place inside for the dogs and crates. Most importantly you can tell she really cares for the animals. She is very knowledgeable and was very helpful in caring for our little Molli who has been having tummy troubles. She kept us aware of what was going on and provided photos. I believe Molli enjoyed her stay and play time with Katie's pup. I would recommend her if you are in need of a dog sitter!”

“Kat is amazing! She took such great care of our cat Bob. Bob normally doesn’t warm up to people quickly, he’ll usually hide under the bed and not come out. Kat worked her magic and Bob was putty in her hands, purring and letting her give him belly rubs. I’d recommend her for you four legged kids care.”

About: My first word was kitty. Not kidding! Since my very first word, animals of all kinds have always been a huge part of my life. I have either owned or cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, fish, birds, frogs, horses, goats, and…well, the list goes on. Not matter what four legged (or more or less legged!) friend you need care for, I’m your girl. I have experience caring for all ages (bottle-fed to seniors) all sizes, and many, many different needs. I am experienced in providing wound care and other medical needs, and I am comfortable with animals of all temperaments. My years of experience has taught one thing: ALL animals are unique, and each needs to be cared for individually. I look forward to learning the unique needs of your pet and caring for them accordingly! My work is freelance and gig based, so I often have large stretches of time open. It is much easier for me to schedule for short notice things than to schedule far in advance. Don’t worry about needing last minute pet care! That works great for me! Call it a cruel twist of fate, but my landlord doesn’t allow pets. So, I have TONS of love to share with yours! While I won’t be bringing any of your furry friends home with me, I am always willing to come to them and provide care in the space they are most familiar with and comfortable in. You pet has a routine, and it’s my goal to help make sure that routine is carried out whether you’re at work or out of the country. I prioritize your instructions while caring for your pet and their environment, and make sure to keep open communication with you so you can feel at ease while away.
“Shannon visited my boy cat Smokie at my house a few times. I couldnt be more thankful! (not to mention one day was Valentines) xoxo. I was unexpectedly delayed on my return home and Shannon is an angel to have stopped by to make sure he was safe <3 Thank you, R.”

“Neviah is truly a one of a kind. She not only took great care of my service dog while I was away, and did so on short notice, but she is incredibly thoughtful, goes above and beyond and has a tremendous attitude. Genuinely one of the best I’ve ever worked with.”

About: I am an accredited dog trainer with Petsmart. I volunteer, foster, donate, and I've adopted from the area animal shelter. I have 3 German Shepherd Dogs, a blue heeler mix, and I foster bully breeds. I do Dog Training at Petsmart on Tuesday and Thursday evenings then all day on Saturday and Sunday. We will have to work around that schedule. I also worked home health care for many years. I was a cna for 16 years prior to switching to dog training. I had a change of heart and decided to change to the career I wanted to do the most which was work with dogs. I am a dog trainer and we can do in home training or meet at the park for training. No flexi leads we can use a 20 foot training leash if having room to run is an issue for you.

About: I have taken care of and raised many cat breeds since I was 5, including bottle-feeding abandoned babies and nursing care and meds if needed. I have good intuition about cat behavior and their own ways of communicating, and I have been able to tame many wild cats through consistent love, peace, and care.
“Very pleased that Jay was able to take care of my cat, MIka, while I was away. Such a good feeling to travel, knowing that all is well on the home front! Communication was top notch and the care he provided was excellent.”


About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 8 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I recently lost my own dog after 8 wonderful years together, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone caring for your pet. I’ve dog sat for multiple families and am comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, administering medications, potty training, feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of love and attention while their owners are away. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely love being around animals. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently a nursing student, so my schedule can vary slightly week to week, but I do my best to stay flexible and communicate clearly with pet owners. I’m available for walks, pet sitting, and check-ins throughout the week whenever my schedule allows. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I’m experienced with administering medications, caring for senior dogs, and handling puppies that may need extra patience or potty training support. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and safe walks and playtime. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat them with the same love and care I would want for my own animals.

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. My mom worked in different animal shelters and boarding facilities my whole childhood, I always loved going to work with her when I could. We often fostered dogs and cats taking care of them until they found their forever home. I have watched my friend’s and family’s pets for them often as an adult. I am new to Rover, but I am excited to help out people in my community and confident that I will have plenty of positive reviews in no time.

“Ben is reliable, trustworthy and an asset to Rover!!! We can count on him to take care of our fur babies when we can’t!!! Will definitely use him again, and refer him to our friends and family!!!”

“Wendy is such a gem! She was reliable, thoughtful, and very responsive. The kitty she cared for earns his name "Spooky" because he is easily spooked. Within a few days, however, he was showing up for attention and petting. We got pictures every day and are so pleased that we could be away without worries.”

About: Welcome to Pecor's Pups! My wife and I have a lifetime of experience caring for all sorts of animals. We love dogs, especially. I have a veterinary care background, as I used to be a vet tech. I also have a Zoology degree and am experienced with various different types of animals and the care thereof. We have an energetic - yet very gentle - Golden Retriever and a rambunctious Great Pyrenees mix so all dogs staying with us must get along with other dogs. We would be willing to separate our pups for periods of time to give your little guy/girl one-on-one time, if that is your preference. We do have the ability to block off areas of the home to separate (from my dogs, or if you have more than one dog and they need separation) if needed. We have a large fenced in yard that is treated monthly to prevent fleas in the area. They can get all the playtime they need! If you don't wish for that, though, then that is not a problem either. I have a very comfortable environment for any and all animals who stay with me, with several dog beds that are washed and sanitized after each stay (and in between often) as well as tons of puzzle toys and enrichment activities if they're interested in that. Otherwise, we will just cuddle and hang out! I will stay strict with any and all schedules (feeding, treats, play time, potty time, medicines, etc) that you provide, but if you don't have a specific schedule for your dog, then I will put them on my dogs' feeding, play, treat, and potty schedule (except for younger or older puppies that may need a little more accommodation in that department) I am very easy-going and easy to deal with. I will also send as many updates via text as you want, with photos and "report cards" of your little ones activities for the day. We also provide baths, nail trims and ear cleanings! Let me know what you may need during your stay with us! If you have any further questions about me or our home and/or our dog and the services we provide, do not hesitate to reach out. We own two businesses from home (Pecor's Pups and another business) so we have a lot of time to dedicate to your pet(s) and their needs! I have a fenced in yard and two floors (the downstairs is currently under partial construction to make Pecor's Pups even more accommodating and cozy!) I can separate pets if needed for whatever reason, and there will be a lot of space outside for pups to roam whilst also being completely contained in the safety of my backyard.
“Delaney, you were amazing!! Harold is shy and actually came up to you and you got great photos! Which says a lot about your warm energy:) Thank you again! I will definefitely request you in the future:) Lori”
About: I’m here to give your pets the care they deserve—right at home! I offer a variety of professional services, including fun dog walks, playful drop-in visits for cats, and cozy overnight pet sitting while you're away. Whether you're at work or on vacation, I provide personalized, loving care to keep your pets happy, healthy, and relaxed in their own familiar environment. Let me treat your furry (or scaly) friends like family, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands! In addition to Rover, I work for a local vetted company that offers professional in-home pet care and dog walking. As an entrepreneur I work from my laptop and set my own hours so I am available to care for your pups 24/7! Last minute and emergency boarding is always available by request. Life happens, and you shouldn't have to worry about your fur babies while you take care of you! I believe in caring for your pets AND your home. Along with playtime, walks, and cuddles, we also take care of light cleanup to keep everything fresh and tidy. This includes sweeping and mopping floors, picking up toys or pet belongings, and cleaning up any messes that may happen throughout the day. For cats, we’ll scoop litter boxes and make sure their area stays clean. We’re happy to handle any light cleaning tasks as needed, so you come back to your home looking just like you left it. If you'll be away for more than a day or two, I’m also happy to collect mail, packages, or roll your trash bin to the curb on pickup day—just ask!
About: I’ve taken care of pets for a long time, would love to spend time and also take care of yours and make sure they’re safe! Hi there! I definitely have tons of time throughout the day to love your baby! I spend time with them before & through out on breaks from work and when I get off! I do have a huge fenced in yard! My 2 year old LOVES playing with your doggies! We have no pets in our home now.
“Sarah did a great job with my cats! Not only did she feed and take care of the litter, but she also was helpful with collecting my packages and mail for me while I was away. She also takes great photos of your pet while she is watching them!”

“Maddie was so wonderful with my little puppy! She kept me updated all day and provided pictures of his activities. She was very insightful regarding new puppy care and training and was nice enough to answer all the questions I had as a new puppy mom with lots of anxiety! Would highly recommend!”

“You won't find a better family to care for your pups! I happened upon Nikki on this app and I feel like it was fate. Her husband, Mike, their kids and Nikki spent so much time and gave so much love to my Charlie. He is very needy and they were patient, found activities to keep him so happy and also gave him a new bestie. Nugget, their golden retriever, was instantly Charlie's pal. What a sweetheart! Charlie was in a rough spot with separation anxiety and acting very sad and exhausted. 3 days with this family perked him up and gave him new life! I am so thankful!”

“Victoria and Charles were fantastic. I was worried about my little Otis being anxious about being left as he has serious separation anxiety ( OK, we both do ! ) but as Victoria and I were chatting - Otis happily bouncing around exploring her and Charles' lovely lawn she teased him over for a pet and before I knew it he was in her arms - looking very happy I might add! I had a few things to transfer from my car to my sons - typically high stress time for me, trying to keep track of Otis - who won't get more than a step or two away, so I don't step on him. He just go cozier and cozier and sunk lower and lower into Victoria's arm. I guess I wasn't surprised to receive a photo by text, of him laying in her lap before it was even dark out. Pick up was easy - Victoria and Charles' garage door were open and it was lit like a beacon in the rainy night - just a quick report from Victoria ( he's fine ! ) as it was a long day and we were on our way. This is my first chance to reach out and its been three days - sorry guys! Do you need a sitter? Are Victoria and Charles available? Book them!! ( I'd even settle for just Charles : 0 : o : ) . Victoria and Charles are my first choice - looking forward to letting Otis trim their lawn again.”
“First time we’ve used Rover and it turned out great!! We got pictures of our pups while we were gone for the day and I think they had a great time! Thank you so much! Highly recommend!”

About: Owned dogs and cats all my life. I’ve raised English Bulldogs for 30+ years. Experience in newborn to elderly care. I’ve babysat for friends and family more time than I can count. I’m currently retired so my schedule is open and would love to take care of your pets as they were my own. Plenty of time to spoil your babies I have a fenced yard and a crate if needed. I currently own 1 eight year old cat. Cat can be put upstairs if needed for her safety. I have plenty of experience in rotating animals if one has issues with another.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire adult life. My three dogs live inside and are treated like part of the family (because they are). I worked a couple of years as a big dog camp counselor, but am now retired. I have a secure privacy fence in backyard, and a designated “doggie bedroom” in my house. As a retiree and a homebody, my daily routine already revolves around my dogs. We have a standard schedule throughout the day with many play and potty breaks outside. As mentioned above, I have a privacy fence in my backyard so the pups can play and potty securely. They are never without supervision. I will crate if needed.
“Our rescue was transporting a dog for adoption and had a gap between drivers. Raleigh was flexible and worked with us quickly to take care of Canela until the next transport leg was available a few hours later. She was great to us in making arrangements and very sweet to Canela. We appreciate her so much!”

“Whiskey came back to me so happy and excited. He rested when he got home. They were completely flexible when i needed more time! Would have them dog sit Whiskey again!”

“My dog ran back and gave Kallie two good-byes before coming to me to go home, which was a great sign to me that he really loved her and trusted her. She is very good with my golden retriever and has a nice home and fenced yard for him. I am so happy I found her.”

“I feel blessed for having found Jane. My dog came back home so calm and chill, which shows she was loved and not scared. Jane also sent me lots of updates throughout the day. We will definitely go back! Thank you so much”

“Heather is very attentive and we love that she sends pictures and videos of our dogs stay. We also love that she gives him homemade treats. Thanks for always caring for our boy like he’s yours!”

About: With over 15 years of loyal, hands-on pet care experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and needs—from energetic puppies learning the basics to senior dogs who deserve extra patience, comfort, and love. No matter the stage of life, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and deeply cared for. 🐾 I also offer an hourly rate of 10$ if your needs do not match the pricing list Pet sitting fits naturally into my life and allows me to give animals the time and attention they deserve. I have no children and no pets of my own, which gives me flexibility and availability to fully focus on each pet in my care. I work part-time, so spending quality time with animals is something I truly enjoy and look forward to—it never feels like work, but something I’m genuinely passionate about. 🐾 I’m happy to care for your beloved fur babies either in my home or in the comfort of yours—whatever helps them feel most at ease. I have no small children and no other animals, and I offer a large, secure fenced-in backyard for safe play and relaxation. With a genuine love for dogs, I provide attentive, nurturing care and will treat your fur baby as my own—being a trusted “dog mom” while you’re away. 🐾
“I highly recommend Kristi for your babies needs. Being new to the area and having a new puppy is exciting and scary. Trusting someone with your baby is hard. She was so comforting to me and gave me regular updates. This was the first time I left Chandler with anyone. She has 2 dogs herself and Frankie is the same breed as Chandler. Dachshunds needs special care and she even had ramps to accommodate their backs. I will definitely use Kristi again.❤️💙🩷”

I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified, comfortable with oral and injectable medications, and able to accommodate pets with special diets or unique needs. My experience includes caring for puppies who need training and patience, as well as senior pets who require extra gentleness and support.

I understand how hard it can be to leave your beloved pets, and my goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life. As a stay-at-home mom, I spend about 80% of my time at home. This allows me to give pets consistent love, attention, and supervision throughout the day. My three children, who are all animal lovers, also enjoy providing extra playtime and cuddles, making sure your pet always feels included and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We live on a 2-acres with a secure fenced-in yard for safe, off-leash play and exploration.

Our home is filled with love, supervision, and plenty of cozy spots for relaxation so your pet feels secure and happy.
“We LOVE Sam! Finn gets to hang out with Sam’s dog Brody in their backyard and cool off inside for naps during the day! He came home tired and happy. Sam was very easy to schedule and lovely to work with! I would recommend Sam to anyone!”

About: Pet care in our home is truly a calling for me. I have over 35 years of experience caring for animals, and I humbly believe God has given me a special gift for working with them. I provide hands-on, attentive care every day, including walking, feeding, basic training reinforcement, and—most importantly—genuine affection and companionship. I offer a calm, structured, and nurturing environment where pets are treated like family, not just clients. I am comfortable working with a wide variety of pets and take the time to understand each animal’s unique needs and personality. Your pet will receive patient, individualized care, plenty of interaction, and a safe, loving place to feel at home while you’re away. Pet care is woven into my daily routine. Between homeschooling our daughter and managing our home and all the projects of our Farm, caring for animals through feeding, walks, training, playtime, and supervision is a consistent, intentional part of every day! I care for pets in our home as if they are part of our family. They receive a safe, calm environment with structured routines that include feeding, walks, playtime, rest, and one-on-one attention. I take time to understand each pet's personality, comfort level, and needs, whether that means active engagement, gentle training, or quiet companionship. Pets are closely supervised, shown patience and kindness, and given plenty of affection so they feel secure, respected, and at home while in my care.

About: I've been dogsitting since I could drive at 16.

About: I am an accredited dog trainer with Petsmart. I volunteer, foster, donate, and I've adopted from the area animal shelter. I have 3 German Shepherd Dogs, a blue heeler mix, and I foster bully breeds. I do Dog Training at Petsmart on Tuesday and Thursday evenings then all day on Saturday and Sunday. We will have to work around that schedule. I also worked home health care for many years. I was a cna for 16 years prior to switching to dog training. I had a change of heart and decided to change to the career I wanted to do the most which was work with dogs. I am a dog trainer and we can do in home training or meet at the park for training. No flexi leads we can use a 20 foot training leash if having room to run is an issue for you.
About: Welcome to Pecor's Pups! My wife and I have a lifetime of experience caring for all sorts of animals. We love dogs, especially. I have a veterinary care background, as I used to be a vet tech. I also have a Zoology degree and am experienced with various different types of animals and the care thereof. We have an energetic - yet very gentle - Golden Retriever and a rambunctious Great Pyrenees mix so all dogs staying with us must get along with other dogs. We would be willing to separate our pups for periods of time to give your little guy/girl one-on-one time, if that is your preference. We do have the ability to block off areas of the home to separate (from my dogs, or if you have more than one dog and they need separation) if needed. We have a large fenced in yard that is treated monthly to prevent fleas in the area. They can get all the playtime they need! If you don't wish for that, though, then that is not a problem either. I have a very comfortable environment for any and all animals who stay with me, with several dog beds that are washed and sanitized after each stay (and in between often) as well as tons of puzzle toys and enrichment activities if they're interested in that. Otherwise, we will just cuddle and hang out! I will stay strict with any and all schedules (feeding, treats, play time, potty time, medicines, etc) that you provide, but if you don't have a specific schedule for your dog, then I will put them on my dogs' feeding, play, treat, and potty schedule (except for younger or older puppies that may need a little more accommodation in that department) I am very easy-going and easy to deal with. I will also send as many updates via text as you want, with photos and "report cards" of your little ones activities for the day. We also provide baths, nail trims and ear cleanings! Let me know what you may need during your stay with us! If you have any further questions about me or our home and/or our dog and the services we provide, do not hesitate to reach out. We own two businesses from home (Pecor's Pups and another business) so we have a lot of time to dedicate to your pet(s) and their needs! I have a fenced in yard and two floors (the downstairs is currently under partial construction to make Pecor's Pups even more accommodating and cozy!) I can separate pets if needed for whatever reason, and there will be a lot of space outside for pups to roam whilst also being completely contained in the safety of my backyard.
“Thomas was wonderful with our doggo! He sent plenty of updates, videos, and pictures. Our dog looked extremely happy! Thomas had great communication and was amazing all around. He helped us so much to avoid having to board our dog while on vacation. Our dog had an accident before one of Thomas visit and he was kind enough to clean it up and offer to run the carpet cleaner. Thomas is 10/10!”

About: I look forward to meeting and loving your fur babies! I’ve had pets my whole life and currently have a cat and dog of my own. I’m also a special needs parent, so patience, compassion, and attentiveness are second nature to me. Pet sitting helps me support my daughter’s therapies and additional needs, which makes this work especially meaningful to me. It takes a village, and I can’t wait to be a part of yours 🐾🩶 I’m able to come walk your pets or check in on them before work then play with them after work (5:30p-9p) throughout the week. And Saturday and Sundays I’m fully available/flexible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment with plenty of supervision, patience, playtime, and cuddles. I always follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any routines that help your pet feel secure and at home. I understand every animal has different needs and personalities, and I’ll care for them like they’re part of my own family 🐾
About: I’ve taken care of pets for a long time, would love to spend time and also take care of yours and make sure they’re safe! Hi there!

Whether you're at work or on vacation, I provide personalized, loving care to keep your pets happy, healthy, and relaxed in their own familiar environment. Let me treat your furry (or scaly) friends like family, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands!

Life happens, and you shouldn't have to worry about your fur babies while you take care of you! I believe in caring for your pets AND your home.

This includes sweeping and mopping floors, picking up toys or pet belongings, and cleaning up any messes that may happen throughout the day. For cats, we’ll scoop litter boxes and make sure their area stays clean. We’re happy to handle any light cleaning tasks as needed, so you come back to your home looking just like you left it. If you'll be away for more than a day or two, I’m also happy to collect mail, packages, or roll your trash bin to the curb on pickup day—just ask!
“10/10 would recommend Lindsey. My family is going through a major medical emergency, and knowing Lindsey is taking care of my fur babies is a huge weight off my shoulders. I never have to worry, and get the cutest picture updates. For the longest time my husband and I were hesitant to get a pet sitter for our 5 animals, but Lindsey completely changed our opinion. From the first meet and greet our animals loved her. If you’re looking for someone living and reliable, hire Lindsey.”
About: We have cared for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. We do have experience in medication administration for animals. We are excited to serve you and your fur-family! My wife and I work full-time jobs but are available before and after work as well as during the lunch hour to ensure your dogs and/or cats are fed and taken care of! During the summer, Cody is available all day because of being an educator and having a summer break. If boarding with us, we have a fenced-in yard where our three dogs run around and play! If your dog is a digger or runner, we also have a run that your dog can be hooked up to remain in the yard while also providing maximum playtime. For drop-in visits, we will ensure that any happy accidents are cleaned up, your dog remains on the food plan that you have, and will give them time outside to use the bathroom.

“Oliver had a great time here! Thank you all so much for taking care of our little guy. When he got home, he was worn out from playtime. Will definitely book with you again!”

“I can't say enough great things about Aric! He gave us all the confidence that Whiskey's visit would be great - and it was! Convenient area, great rate, and fantastic care! We will definitely use Aric again and recommend him to family and friends in the Athens area!”

“I’ve left Harry with her several times, and each time he gets so excited to see her. It’s clear how happy he is at her place. Today, when I went to pick him up, he didn’t even seem like he wanted to leave—he must’ve had such a great time! Thank you so much for always taking such good care of him!”

“Michael, Lisa and their whole family were wonderful. Our little girl had never stayed away from home before and she seemed to really enjoy being with them. We will definitely want our little girl to stay with them again.”

“Billie Jo was truly exceptional, an absolute dream to work with! From the start, her professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals gave us complete peace of mind. She went above and beyond in caring for our fur babies, treating them like her own. We received thoughtful updates every morning and evening, along with adorable photos throughout the day that made us feel so connected while we were away. It's rare to find someone so attentive, reliable, and compassionate. We've already booked Billie Jo for our next trip, and we feel completely confident knowing our dogs will be in such capable and caring hands. Highly, highly recommend!”


“Stephanie is wonderful. She took care of dog for a week. I received lots of pictures. Whenever I asked how my dog was doing, she always responded in a timely matter. She is kind and loves animals. I will use her again and I highly recommend her.”

“I could already tell within 10 minutes that my pup was going to be so loved and cared for during her weekend at Shawna’s house. Our vacation got abruptly cancelled and Shawna was so accommodating and flexible. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Viviana and Brian are the most loving and conscientious pet care givers! They are very attentive, sending me photos and videos daily, and thoughtfully taking care of any injuries or issues that may arise. They are THE BEST!!!”

“Nicole is AWESOME! She is so accommodating, doing whatever she can to meet your dog's needs/schedule. She truly is an answer to prayer. We have a 14-month old Pyrenees mix, who can be difficult to handle, and this was the first time we have boarded her. After meeting Nicole and her husband, I knew we had found the perfect boarder. She sent pics and videos, assuring me that Bella was doing great. Boarding with Nicole allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away, knowing that Bella was being well cared for. We have def found our forever boarder, thanks SO much!”

“Jessica came through again. We had to leave a day early and Jessica flexed to take Sully. Then our return trip had unexpected delays and she stepped up last minute to keep our boy an extra night. We are so appreciative for her support. Our boy loves his time with Jessica and her family, especially his buddy Tucker!”

“Amazing Family! We brought our dogs with us to TN for the thanksgiving holiday and Cody and Rachel cared for them as we went to several family gatherings throughout our trip. They were so accommodating, even waiting up for us the night of drop off. If we ever bring them again, we will be sure to see if Cody and Rachel are available. Highly recommend!!! Thank you so much for taking such good care of our dogs!”

“April and Rob were wonderful! This was the first time I was away from my dogs for a whole week and they made sure that I had no reasons to worry while on vacation. I hope to be able to use them next time I have to leave town and I will definitely recommend to others.”
