About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I can remember! Growing up I had a Black Lab Golden Retriever mix, and I would take him on walks, feed him, and play with him every day. I’ve also done lots of volunteering at the Juneau Animal Rescue to help with walking the dogs and playing with them. This past summer I also cared for a senior Chihuahua. I love animals of all ages and sizes, and can’t wait to meet your pet! I currently have a flexible schedule! I am available to provide pet care on Sundays anytime after 12:00 pm, Tuesdays anytime after 2:30 pm, Wednesdays anytime after 11:00 am, and some Thursdays after 2:30 pm! I can also be available on Saturdays if needed! In an environment where I provide pet care I like to ensure and fun and supervised environment!

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10, and my passion for animals has only grown stronger over the years. As an Animal Biosciences major, I bring both academic knowledge and practical experience to provide high-quality, compassionate care. Last summer, I interned at a veterinary emergency clinic, gaining hands-on experience with medical care, administering medications, and handling animals in stressful situations. I currently work on a dairy farm, where I care for animals daily and have developed keen observational skills for health and behavior. I work with Guide Dog Foundation, training dogs where I bring them into my home and care for them. Additionally, I volunteer at a local animal shelter, supporting pets in need and learning more about diverse animal temperaments and care requirements. What sets me apart: * Experienced in administering medications and providing senior pet care * Skilled in puppy training and socialization * Calm, attentive, and able to handle emergencies with confidence * Passionate about animal welfare and creating a safe, loving environment Whether your pet needs medical attention, training, or just a caring companion, I’m dedicated to giving them the best care possible. Since I am currently working at a dairy farm over the summer, my hours are not consistent. I get my schedule at the end of the month for the next month, and it depends on that. During the school year, I am consistently available at the end of the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, consistency, and creating a calm, familiar environment for your pet. I respect your home as I would my own, helping to keep things clean, secure, and stress-free. I bring a trained eye for detail and animal well-being. I stick to your pet’s routine, follow all feeding and medication instructions carefully, and pay close attention to behavior or health changes that might need attention. Here’s how I help pets feel safe and supported: * Follow all routines, feeding schedules, and house rules * Keep a calm, low-stress environment that pets are comfortable in * Administer medications safely and confidently when needed * Maintain a tidy, pet-safe space, especially litter areas and food zones * Provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing

“Andrea is an excellent dog walker. She is extremely attentive and thoughtful. My Mercy loves her and she takes really good care of my girl.. She has been such a gift and a trusted friend to both of us since day 1. I highly recommend her services. She is a gem!♥️”


“Wow, just Amazing! Olivia was attentive and followed directions to a T. She was extremely diligent and gave my sweet boy extra lovings. He really enjoyed her company and we are so happy to know that we will MOST DEFINITELY be using Olivia again very soon! If your hesitant about a dog sitter, OLIVIA IS YOUR GIRL!!!”


“Lara is a very sweet and professional lady, she helped make us feel at ease leaving our sweet girl with her. She kept us updated on the visits and assured us how our girl was doing. Lara is very punctual and communicative which I really appreciate. I would definitely recommend her and will continue to book her! Thank you Lara for being amazing!”


“Leah has been amazing with my puppy Bailey! She helped me while I had to go to work right after getting him. She came in the middle of my work day to walk him twice and play with him. He was so excited when she came over! She was also very flexible with him being a puppy and his behavior changing!”


About: My whole life my family has had dogs. From the German Shepard-Dobermans we had when I was little to the Cavalier we had growing up. I work part time so I have plenty of free time, mainly on Tuesdays and Thursdays and every other weekend to pet sit any dogs. I'm reliable and I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. And I will take care of them like my own dogs.

“I adopted my dog Charlie a year ago. She’s very attached to me and becomes frightened to be away from me. Sophia is very patient and gentle with her and Charlie is gaining confidence with each walk. Great communication and very friendly. I highly recommend Sophia.”


About: I’ve been pet sitting for a little over a year now. I had repetitive clients who I sat for. I’ve had timid dogs, needy dogs, elderly dogs, and hyperactive dogs. I’ve even taken care of 12 inch koi fish! I love spending time with the dogs and caring for them, as well as getting to know their owners and ensuring that they have someone they trust with their pets. I am currently looking for a job in Athens, so my days are completely free. I will have to have time for school, but otherwise I don’t have much else to do. I won’t be able to keep them at my home since I have roommates. However, I am able to go to the dogs to care for them. In the past, I always went to my clients home (overnight or just the daytime), and can still do that.

About: Ever since I begged my parents for a puppy when I was seven years old, I have had a huge love for dogs. I grew up helping to raise my family's first dog, Scooby. She was feisty and a diva, but she quickly became a cherished member of our family. I got to grow up with her and care for her in all stages of her life, from puppy hood to her senior years. She lived a long, happy life, and we said goodbye to her a few months after her fifteenth birthday in 2020. Our house was too quiet without a pet, so in November of 2020 we we brought our sweet new addition, Natty, into our lives. She is our pride and joy, and getting to be a part of her life makes mine infinitely better. I have such a love for dogs, I think they are incredible animals capable of love and happiness that some of us could only dream of. I can't wait to meet your furry friend! Open availability for walks and check ins. I'm in between jobs currently, so I am pretty flexible! I have limited availability on Saturdays during the fall. I will follow all owner instructions thoroughly and thoughtfully. Your pet is a cherished member of your family, and my care will reflect that. Your pet will have my undivided attention, and keeping them safe will be my number one priority. Your dog will be on a leash at all times when outside the home, and care will be taken when approaching other dogs and humans.

About: I've taken care of all types of dogs and have been a pet sitter since 2002. I've owned dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, chinchillas, and chickens. In college, I worked for a mobile dog groomer. I'm a marine biologist, so I work offshore often. My schedule has me at sea for 3-6 weeks and then home for a few weeks where I'm fully available to look after your fur babies! I'll be sure to keep my availability updated so you know when I'm around to help out. You know your animals and what they need to be happy and thrive, so I'll do my best to always make sure they're cared for in the way you prefer.

About: My experience consists of watching family and friends dogs and occasionally cats. I had a small yorkie with hip dysplasia and cushings that required meds frequently and I had a black lab mix that has also passed away, who was blind in one eye and deaf. I offer companionship and exercise for your pets when you're away. I can help with training, taking them for long walks, going to the restroom, administering medications, or just being an awesome petter for your puppy (because all dogs are puppies, no matter how old). I usually work the weekends from 8-4pm, but am usually up very early and can walk your dog as early as 5am if needed. During the week I can stop by and check or walk your pet in the morning or afternoon. Wed-Sun I can watch/walk them at night as well. When I walk my dogs, I prefer them to be in a harness for their comfort and safety. I make sure to watch the dogs closely, so if I see any signs of stress, I will promptly remove them from the situation. During the summer months especially, I will make sure to walk them early in the morning or in well shaded areas to make sure their paws are well protected from the hot pavement. I carry a dog water bottle with me on my walks, so they always have access to clean water if needed. When dog sitting, I take them out constantly, offer lots of playtime and stimulation while there, and always make sure the area is clean.

About: I’m currently 21 years old, and I’ve had a shih tzu since I was 10! My dog has some little quirks (like needing some extra help and encouragement to go through doors in the house and only eating her food out of a very specific bowl), so if your dog has any quirks too, I’m happy to accommodate anything they need! I’ve only ever had a small dog myself, but I’ve volunteered at a shelter and walked dogs of all sizes (yorkie to husky). I’m a college student at Purdue, but this summer I’m at home taking some online classes, babysitting, etc., so I have some extra time to help care for your dog anytime! My dog is like a member of my family, so I understand the importance of a safe and caring environment. When someone is taking care of my dog, I appreciate regular updates, so I would be happy to do that for you as well while caring for your dog!

“Hannah was able to walk our dog on very short notice when we planned a last-minute getaway. She was very responsive, made sure she knew the day before she came where all of his supplies would be, and gave me detailed updates daily. I would highly recommend her!”

“I have known Mia since she was in 6th grade and she is one of the most responsible, kind, and genuine people I have ever known. As her public school music teacher and later as her private guitar instructor I know of her deep commitment to following instructions, striving to always do what is asked of her and of her constant drive to be the best person she can be. She is delightful, an experienced dog-walker and if your pup is lucky… she might even sing while they walk!”

Claire D.
“I have had Claire as a pet caregiver on several occasions and have been 100% pleased with her level of professionalism. I should also note that more importantly, the dogs love her and get very excited when she arrives. One day I also was having some medicine delivered to the house and felt very confident about Claire receiving that. I also trust her with the code in to my house. She keeps me posted about the dogs during the time I am gone so I never have to worry. Claire is good at walking the one dog who needs to her bathroom time away from the house. The other dog is NOT a good walker but he gets his time in the fenced yard. Overall I have been very happy with Claire being a responsible and loving pet caregiver. I plan to continue hiring her!!!”

I would highly recommend Nevaeh for dog walking or dog sitting.”

Taryn W.
“With very last minute notice, Taryn offered to watch our 8 month old puppy (Black Lab and Golden Retriever mix) for a week. Not only did Moxie immediately attach herself to Taryn, she almost didn’t want to come home. Taryn gave us daily updates with hilarious pictures and videos. I had complete peace of mind knowing how well our baby was being taken care of and loved. I was able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing Taryn had Moxie. I highly recommend her for any dog sitting needs.”
