Dog Sitting Watkinsville

“Lauren assisted this morning with a drop-in visit for my cat, June. June went rouge and decided to knock over his Furbo treat dispenser, causing it to malfunction. Lauren magically repaired the Furbo device, fed & played with June & sent a ton of cool pictures 😊. Literally saved the day! 👍🏼”

“Abby was great doing drop-ins on our pup. Responsive and great with her communications and Rover cards. Soldier definitely appreciated her visits as did we. Already rebooked Abby.”

About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs growing up. I have always enjoyed playing with them and going out on walks. In addition I have experience bathing, grooming, and feeding them. Moreover I have volunteer experience cleaning up after and feeding animals at Sweet Olive Farm. I am working part time, however I should be free most weekend days for check ins or dog walking. I will also be available on weekends for dog sitting. Having pets growing up I would always ensure they had enough water and would feed them on their regular schedule. But most importantly I believe all pets need enrichment time. For house sitting I will uphold this standard. For walks I will make sure they get to sniff to their hearts content.

“Angela was amazing! I could tell she had a lot of experience and was very attentive. She watched my cat while I went on vacation and I could not of asked for a better sitter! Will definitely book her again in the future!”

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 :)

“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.”

About: Hey, everyone! My name is Vivian, and I’m a psychology student at UGA with a deep love for animals. I’m dedicated to providing top-notch care for your pets, and here’s what you can expect from me: - Range of services: I’m here for your dogs, cats, fish, and even frogs! Whether it’s check-ups, walks, or overnight care, I’ve got it covered. - Specialized training: For over a year, I’ve been training pups aged 8 weeks to 2 years to become service animals through the Guide Dog Foundation and America’s Vet Dogs. This experience has taught me how to keep pups safe, happy, and well-behaved. - Experienced dog owner: With nearly 20 years of dog ownership, I’ve raised three wonderful dogs and currently care for two senior pups. I can administer medication and understand the patience and extra love that senior dogs need. - Care for anxious pets: I’m familiar with caring for rescue animals and pets with anxiety, including my own rescue dog, Rascal. If your pets are anxious, I’ll provide them with the same love, care, and patience that I give to Rascal. I look forward to meeting your furry (or scaly!) family members and ensuring they receive the best care possible. As a student at UGA (go dawgs!), I attend morning classes and can generally care for your pets on weekdays before class, in the afternoon, and in the evening, and I am free any time during the weekend! In your home, I’ll make sure your pet's routine stays as close to normal as possible, giving them plenty of love, exercise, and playtime. I’ll treat your home with care, keep you updated with cute photos, and ensure your furry friend feels comfortable and cherished while you’re away.

About: I have been a big animal lover since I was little. I started pet sitting for friends and family in high school and I started volunteering at my local animal shelter in college. I currently am an Animal Care Tech at UGA and work with animals like cats, dogs, and mice daily! I am also very comfortable administering most medications I currently work full time as an Animal Care Tech at UGA from 8-4 on M-F so I can care for your pet early mornings or in the afternoon/evenings! If you need someone during the weekdays to let your pet out frequently (they can’t go 8 hours without a bathroom break) I may not be the sitter for you. I have more availability to let them out during weekends, but if you have any questions just shoot me a message! Safety is my #1 concern when it comes to your pet! I have many years of animal care experience and I am trained to handle most safety issues when it comes to animals. I want to treat your pet like they’re my own!

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for 13 years for neighbors, a kennel and various vet clinics. Taking care of people’s pets is my passion. I am currently working full time as a registered vet technician at a animal hospital. The weekends are a lot better but I can be flexible during the week. You can trust I will take excellent care of your fur babies in your home. I will send pictures to show how they are doing.

About: I am a 3rd year veterinary student with 2 dogs of my own. I have dealt with medical cases, seniors, and puppies! I am very flexible during the summer, and can work things out as fall begins. I am currently working part time with other pet sitting gigs sprinkled throughout my weeks. I am in town most of the summer, so I am very flexible. As a veterinary student, I have experience handling dogs of all sizes and conditions. This makes for ease of mind for you as you leave your fur baby with someone new!

About: I grew up with dogs in my house and grew up taking care of them when parents were out of town. In recent years, I have been asked by friends and family to care for their lovely dogs. I enjoy playing with the pups and giving them some sense of comfort while their owners are away. I am a full-time student at UGA, but I only have classes in person for three days of the week. Other than that, as well as perhaps a church event here and there, I am available to be at home with your pups and spend the night! I cannot accept pets in my home, but I will ensure safety when in your home. I lock all the doors at night and lock up when leaving the house!

“did a great job looking after my fur babies and kept me posted with lots of pictures and info. Definitely cares about my kitties and would use her again for sure.”

“Twinkle was wonderful with my kitties. She did not just come in feed them and leave. She interacted with them, took them outside and sent me pictures and a note every day.”

About: I have worked at vet clinics and at barns so I have diverse experiences to handle animals. I also have had pets my whole life. I recently moved to athens to start vet school. Since it is the summer I am a free book and have time all day to watch your baby. I have a townhouse with a dog park to take your baby out. I also have a spacious living room where we can play and cuddle. In your home, I will respect your schedule and follow it to a tee.

About: I have had the privilege of growing up in a dog-living home and have been blessed with furry friends my whole life. When I was about 10, I realized that I could be my dog's favorite if I walked her, fed her, and played with her. So, I did just that. I have always been the person my neighbors asked to dog-sit and I have volunteered at animal shelters for many years! I just graduated from the University of Georgia and just moved back to Nashville. I have a part-time job right now, and I would love to hang out with and take care of your pup(s) in my free time! Your pup will be well taken care of, safe, and loved. I would love to watch your dog for the day, or overnight at your home, if needed!

“My dogs adore them, and we are very happy to have found them. They are the best when it comes to caring for my dogs; the truth is that my dogs are in the very best hands.”

Daniela S.

“Russell was incredibly attentive and communicative while taking care of our cats! He took pictures at each visit and kept us up to date on what was happening with them. I would highly recommend his services!”

About: Hello! My name is Gina and I am very excited to be a part of this community. I have years of experience with dog walking, pet feeding, and boarding pets. I have house & pet sat multiple times throughout the years and I absolutely love it. To be honest, I cannot afford a pet myself at the moment, so in the meantime I hope you'll share yours with me! Also I work from my computer, so my schedule is very flexible. Which means more time to spend with your fur babies. I am very responsible, friendly, and believe open communication is the ticket. I do not smoke, and have a clean record. I have my own vehicle. And most importantly, I can't wait to meet you!

About: While I've had pets my entire life, I've professionally cared for the animals of others for nearly 10 years. While I was in the Army, I fostered for a local rescue and did the basic training and socialization for young, abandoned puppies to get them ready for forever homes. While pursuing my BS of Animal Science at ISU (Class of '19) I worked at Lloyd Veterinary Medical Hospital with equines of all ages, and spent several years as professional Animal caretaker working at the USDA with small animals. I have experience with dogs and cats, young and old, as well as rodents and other small animal pets, geckos, and freshwater aquarium fish. I am semi-retired, and work my own hours part time so schedule is flexible and it's easy for me to fit your pet(s) into my daily life Your pets will be most comfortable in their own environment, and I am committed to caring for them in a way most similar to what they are accustomed to.

About: I grew up with all kinds of pets - dogs, cats, birds, fish, and even corn snakes! I always take pictures of them and adore all animals! I am currently a student at UGA, only taking classes on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I am free for you pets at any time! I can take your pets on as many or as little walks as they please! I live in an apartment complex that is very pet friendly and has a dog park a quick walk away. I also have another friendly dog in the apartment to keep any dogs good company! They are also welcome on any furniture. In your home I will respect any rules you have and still create a fun environment for your fur baby.
