Dog Sitting in Watkinsville

“I was really nervous about using Rover for the first time, but I'm so glad I did, because Emma took amazing care of our two dogs while we were out of town. She kept us updated and sent lots of pictures, and our boys were so happy. Emma will be at the top of our list the next time we need someone to take care of our pets for us.”

“Our dog was well taken care of and Linda was reliable and trustworthy. She has taken care of our dog many times and will definitely use her again.”

Leigh Anne K.

“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!”

“Very sweet to our dogs and prompt with her visits. Our dogs liked her after only a few minutes upon meeting her- even our nervous one. Will definitely use Angela again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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. 😊”

“Yasmin was such a sweet and great pet sitter! My dogs absolutely love her. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a reliable sitter.”

“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.”

Mark D.

“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.”

Nancy L.

“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”

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.

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 :)

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.

“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!!!”

“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 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!

“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.”

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 have over 4 years of pet care experience and am a dedicated dog owner myself, with two dogs at home. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and energy levels, and I also truly enjoy working with cats. I have basic training experience, including reinforcing leash walking and simple commands. My goal is always to provide reliable, attentive care so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently working morning part time shifts, I have more then enough time though out the day to come and hangout with your pets walk talk and play! I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure the environment is nice and calm. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as provided and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I am a firm believer in communication and love sending updates. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and rest based on their individual needs and energy levels. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and like to keep everything tidy while ensuring their pet feels secure and cared for in their usual environment.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and have fostered puppies with TND rescue in Athens. I’ve also worked in veterinary offices and volunteered at multiple different animal rescues. I love all dogs and have confidence I can help make your pet feel comfortable and well taken care of! I have a very flexible schedule that can help fit your needs. I am working online so I have very open availability. I love to take long walks so if you have a high energy pup I’m the girl for you! I have also worked in veterinary offices so I feel comfortable working with dogs of all ages and health concerns. I prefer to care for your animal in your home but can be flexible depending on my location. I can make sure a house is kept tidy if watching a dog in your home!
