Dog Sitting in Watkinsville

“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.”

“Ella did a fantastic job coming to our home to watch our cats for a week. She followed all instructions perfectly, sent us plenty of pictures and videos of our cats, and even went above and beyond when we had a bit of an issue with our water fountain. Will definitely be using her again!”

“Emma was great checking in on my cat! He was well-fed, well-loved, and very happy when I came home, and my home was respected and looked just as it did before I left. She also provided many pictures for each drop in which was very appreciated. Emma communicated quickly and efficiently.”

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.

“Angela was great! She checked in on my cats and sent me regular updates. When the cats weren’t hiding under the bed, she managed to take pictures of them for me.”

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!

“She took good care of our cat and noticed a problem with her chin that we might have missed. It's great to have a vet student be our pet sitter.”

“Yasmin was so great! She helped me out when I had to go out of town last minute for a family emergency. She sent detailed updates everyday and was very responsive and communicative.”

About: I don't have any professional experience, but I've grown up in a family that has housed a lot of dogs and cats since I was born. We've had 4 dogs and 7 cats from my early childhood until today, so while I did obviously have the rest of my family to assist with them, I've still had firsthand experience with a lot of different behaviors and habits of these pets and how certain traits or preferences vary between them. I finished college at UGA recently, so I'm currently at home full-time. Pet care would be pretty easy to fit into my weekly schedule. I always try to make sure I feed my cat her treats once a day around the same time, so consistent feeding and cleaning wouldn't be that much harder with additional pets. I am gone some evenings on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, but other than that my time is fully open to help your pets stay relaxed, happy, and healthy. My backyard has a fence, but it's currently old and unrepaired, so the gates cannot close properly, so any pets prone to running will be staying inside or on a leash. My house is very small, but my front and backyard are very spacious, ideal for pets that are uncomfortable in small spaces. My cat can be skittish around other animals, so I will need to keep her in a separate space from them, but my family's done that with many of our cats, so it will not be a problem for the client or their pets. My roommate stays inside most of the time, so but he's also very friendly and should not pose any issues for the pets.

“Olivia looked after our 2 dogs and she was always on time for walks and feeding.. I had pictures of my dogs every single day on how they were do.I would definitely use Olivia again. Olivia was quickly to respond to any phone calls or texts that I sent. Great person to watch your babies”

“Dan & Kat have watched our boys a couple of times now and every time it is the best experience! Our boys love them and when we're out of town we can rest easy knowing Dan & Kat are on the job. 😊”

About: I’ve had pets all of my life and absolutely love all animals. Love helping take care of the smallest and furriers parts of our families. With my love of animals and availability on the weekends I can take in or watch animals every weekday afternoon and on weekends completely. I Making sure everything looks good and the animals are happy and healthy. Spending time is important not just feeding. At my apartment I have a fenced in porch.

About: Hi! I’m a UGA student and a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for my own pets as well as dogs belonging to friends and family. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits. Walks typically range from 10–30 minutes, depending on your dog’s needs, and drop-in visits include letting your dog outside for 5–10 minutes, along with checking on them and making sure they’re comfortable. I’ve grown up helping care for dogs by feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they get the attention and exercise they need, and I currently help walk and care for one of my friend’s dogs as needed. As a student, I have a flexible schedule and can generally spend up to 30 minutes with each pet, with longer visits available upon request. I’m reliable, patient, and always focused on making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. As a student, my schedule is very flexible, especially during the daytime so I can easily fit walks, play time and check-in into my routine. I don’t have a dog here in Athens, so I truly enjoy getting to spend time with pups, giving them attention, playtime, and comfort. I focus on creating a calm safe and loving environment. I follow each pets normal routine and make sure they feel right at home.

“Catherine was great! Dogs really really liked her and she was great at communicating and sending pictures throughout the weekend. Will definitely hire her again if she is available!!!”

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!

“That’s hilarious. Yes, Miss Mae is not so much a fan of the walks. I try to make her, but it’s a challenge. Thanks so much for taking great care of everyone! Hope you had a great time at the show!”

“Peyton did a great job. It was our 1st time using the Rover service. The whole experience went well. Peyton shown up on time each of the 3 times we had her scheduled come come by while we were out of town for the night. She sent pics of our dogs having fun during one of her visits. Nice touch! ; ) We had a list of things for Peyton to do during her visits, which included amoung other things giving one of our dogs meds, and she ticked them all off one by one. We will definitely request Peyton back in the future.”
