About: Hello! My name is Kat and I am currently a student at UGA! I have always loved animals and grew up with a lot! One of my main “chores” as a kid was to pick up dog poop and take my dogs on walks, but I never saw it as a chore;) I have been blessed to share my home with 14 different animals in my life! Currently I have one handsome (but old fart) Chihuahua and two beautiful kitties. I am currently on summer break, so my schedule is super flexible until May 20th! I will make sure to update my availability ahead of time if anything changes. I make sure my two cats are fed on 3 times a day, have fresh water, and get plenty of attention and play. Including cleaning litter boxes daily and regular grooming. For a client's home, I follow all the owner's instructions closely and keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy in their space. I enjoy taking long walks and playing fetch:)
“Maria took such great care of my sweet baby, and provided plenty of photos to help me get through missing her on my trip!”
“Shirley Mae took such excellent care of my sweet Shoelace. I got plenty of updates and photos each day. She reached out when she had questions, and provided him with caring, loving visits each day. I would recommend her to anyone needing pet care!”
About: My experience with dog care has been lifelong and personal, rooted in a genuine love for animals. I’ve grown up with dogs, volunteered at local shelters, fostered rescue pups, and cared for the pets of friends and family. While my background isn’t professional, working with dogs has always been a constant and meaningful part of my life. I believe dogs are family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I have experience with basic training reinforcement, managing multiple dogs at once, administering medication, and providing plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection based on each dog’s unique needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible remote work schedule with my full time job. It allows me to be available for check ins or walks at beginning, middle and end of the day. I can also work from somewhere as long as there is WiFi, if you would like longer time spent with your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and attention as my own. I focus on maintaining the dog’s regular routine to minimize stress, keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment. I prioritize clear communication, providing updates and photos so owners can feel confident and at ease while they are away. My goal is always to ensure pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared-for, whether they’re with me or in their own home.
“I was traveling with my folks (who usually keep my dog when I head out-of-town) for a brief overnighter and hired Angela for 2 drop-in visits for Hunter. As this was my first time using Rover, I was a bit nervous about hiring a 'complete stranger' to take care of my dog's needs (he typically barks at strangers), so Angela graciously agreed to a 'meet-and-greet'. Still, I 'harassed and stalked' her with numerous instructions and tips, etc. ahead of my trip, and she responded to all of my messages and notes with professionalism, tact and aplomb. I had no cause for worry as Hunter was in great hands. Highly recommend and I will certainly use her again should the need arise.”
“Great communication and so friendly with Dexter!”
“Emily has made visits in the past for my cat, Sushi. She sent daily pictures and updates, made sure the litter box was clean, and made sure the food/water bowls were topped off. When planning another trip I inquired about booking again. This time, I was going away for a about a week and a half, so we agreed to board Sushi at Emily’s place for the majority of my time away. It seems like our cats got along fine (received pictures of them napping on the same couch). Sushi also seemed to really like Emily’s cat trees. The last couple of days she brought Sushi back to my house and made drop-in visits. Overall, I would highly suggest booking with Emily! I came home to a much less stressed kitty than if I had done a traditional boarding facility and I myself was much less stressed knowing Sushi had someone to hang out with.”
“Kylie was very helpful and took great care of our two cats! She spent plenty of time playing with them after they were fed and always sent great photos. We are so appreciative that our cats had a great caretaker to help them get through the separation anxiety while we were away.”
“Krystal was great when she walked our dogs. She came beforehand to meet them, which was great. They enjoyed their walk and we greatly appreciated it. We will be using Krystal again.”
