As an ‘owner,’ I sure wish this description was commonplace.”

About: Hi! I’m Madison—former shelter/rescue worker turned specialty animal hospital administrator turned full-time WFH corporate girlie and dog mom. With years of hands-on experience handling everything from wiggly puppies to sweet seniors, I bring a calm, confident, and compassionate vibe to every dog I meet. I’ve worked with all temperaments, sizes, and medical needs. Need meds given? No problem. Need someone who won’t freak out over a surprise poop situation? Also no problem. My goal is to keep your pet happy, healthy, and excited to hang with their new bestie. 🐾 I work from home full-time, which allows me to offer flexible pet care! While I do prefer your pet to stay with me so I can give them the best care throughout the day, I can also accommodate daily visits or home stays depending on my work environment and availability. If you’re looking for daily visits or a home stay, I just ask that your pet’s space is comfortable and that I can provide the attention they need while balancing work. I’m dedicated to keeping them happy, entertained, and safe while I’m working! If you have any special requests or need to discuss a specific schedule, don’t hesitate to reach out—I’ll make sure we find the best fit for you and your pet. 🐾 When your pet stays with me, they’ll have their own large indoor private space giving them a quiet, comfortable area to call their own. Whether they want to curl up for a nap or enjoy some playtime, they'll have the freedom to relax in their own area. Since I work from home, I’m around all day to keep them company, give them potty breaks, and provide plenty of attention. If your pet enjoys snuggling, I’m more than happy to share the couch for some extra cozy moments. I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can see how your pet is doing while they’re in their home-away-from-home! Additional information and requirements for boarding: *PLEASE READ* Boarding Requirements: All pets must be up to date on: -Vaccinations -Monthly flea/tick prevention -Monthly heartworm prevention (My personal pets are held to the same standards for everyone's safety) -Crate training is preferred, but flexible based on the dog’s size and needs. -Owners must confirm whether I have permission to take their pet to the vet in case of an emergency. -I remain available via phone or messenger for updates and communication throughout the stay. I am more than happy to take as many photos and videos as you need :) Pet Interaction Policy: While my own dogs will be present in the home, your pet will stay in a separate area and will not interact with them. This is to ensure the safety and comfort of both your pet and mine. Doggy playdates can be arranged based on your pet’s size and temperament.

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, and fish all my life along with other animals. From being responsible for taking them out as a kid, to having my own to care for, and helping out with my family’s dogs I have learned a lot about animals and what it takes to keep them happy and healthy. I know all about special diets and meds as well as routines and special spots and toys. Animals really love me and they usually warm up immediately. They have a sense to them about peoples energies and I think they gravitate to mine. I am a independent contractor with complete control of my schedule. I am in and out of my house throughout the day so really we can work out whatever your needs are and I can plan around you I want your fur baby to feel as comfortable as possible while you are away. I will listen and follow your instructions to a T . I make sure all potty breaks and food are given at the correct time. I will make sure they get plenty of exercise and play time with all the love and attention.

“Absolutely amazing! My dog is so clingy with me, but she was so excited to see Angela on the second day ?. My giant mastiff can be a handful, but Angela is a confident and knowledgeable 'dog person' so Penny's exuberance didn't phase her. I loved that Angela took Penny to a dog park each day too. I also REALLY appreciated the clear and consistent communication; Angela was quick to respond to any texts I sent and gave me updates (with the most adorable pics!) throughout the day. My dog was healthy, happy, and tired each time I picked her up from Angela-- who could ask for more?”

About: Hello! I have been working in veterinary medicine since I was 16 years old, whether that be as a kennel technician, mixed practice assistant, ER assistant, general practice technician, or surgical technician. I am currently a rising third year veterinary student at UGA's CVM. Therefore, I have plenty of hands-on experience, including providing medicine by mouth and via injection. I love taking care of your family pets and treating them just as I would my own! I can guarantee that your pet will be in loving, caring hands. I love sending updates and photos to you so that you can see how happy and well your pets are doing. I had to take a break from Rover due to my hours working in emergency medicine/surgery as well as being a full-time veterinary student, and I am eager to start offering my services again this Summer and meet new pets. Due to my current research schedule and my own animals, I am currently not offering house sitting. However, I am eager to perform morning and evening drop-in visits. I may be able to do mid-afternoon drop-ins as well. I am available most weekends and holidays. While I currently do not board animals at my own home because of my own animals, I am happy to accommodate whatever your pet’s needs are in their own home. I may be willing to accommodate daily doggy daycare on the weekends on a case by case basis. Please note that I currently have only 2 cats that live with me (not 3 cats and 1 dog).

About: I’ve always had dogs my whole life, I currently have a Pitt Bull Mix. The majority of my experience is with medium to large dogs, but I love all of them. I have plenty of experience with dogs!

But, like my grandpa says, “a spoiled dog is a good dog.” I have a very high energy dog, who would love a playmate! She’s very loving and friendly! She would do well with a friendly and playful dog.

“Overall great service! Would definitely book again!”

About: As I get older it has become clear to me that my purpose in life might just be to serve animals. My friends tease me that I am the patron saint of the four-legged. And I'm proud to wear that nickname. I have dogs and cats whom I adore and their safety and well-being and happiness is my main focus in life. Both dogs came to me as abandoned puppies. My cats all appeared on my back porch very feral very scared very hungry and I spent a lot of energy loving them up. All my love and attention towards my animals has come back to me a 1000%. My day to day schedule is my own I am wide open as far as availability goes. I am willing to consider any special needs you might have. Please ask. I can have other dogs in my home. But since I do have two dogs of my own I guess it would need to be determined that they could all get along. My dogs are very friendly. I am more than willing to spend the night in a client's home for the comfort of the dog. But since I do have animals of my own I would not be able to stay in your home 24/7. I would need the flexibility to return home to take care of my own animals. But I am most definitely available to sleep over and return several times during the next day to walk your dog and feed and play with him or her. Also I can tend to any cats in your home. Whatever your needs are, please ask.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and feel an intense bond with them. I love all sizes and all breeds and feel eternally grateful for the time to get to know a new animal. I’ve adopted, fostered and loved on other people’s pets over the years. Two years is the longest I’ve ever had someone’s animal in my home. I usually work from home, so I am around to spoil your pet as if it were my own. I have a big fenced in back yard for your pup to explore and get energy out... I’m also an avid walker/hiker and love to take a dog with me on that adventure if they’re up for it. During the pandemic I’ve watched a friends dog for literally two years while they were in-between selling and buying a home. Getting to know new animals personalities is so fun for me and our senior dog loves the company and pack bonding. This summer there were only two days I wasn’t taking care of someone’s animals, whether at their house or mine. I also love taking pictures of animals so expect some photographs on your return or to assure you all is well while you’re gone. If I’m hosting I have a fenced yard and an older dog who loves new friends and bed sharing and a 9 year old who enjoys new animals but also respects their space. I have a large crate available if your pup likes being in their own space when needed, otherwise it won’t be used. If your dog is a couch lover I can cover my couch and bed snuggles are always welcome… but I also ask to bring your dogs bed to feel at home and have a familiar smell around. When I’m in your home I like to make sure the animals feel loved on and comfortable and spend some quality time with them, both with snuggles and long walks around the neighborhood if applicable. I enjoy being in the environment of other people’s spaces and have nannied and cleaned houses, air bnb’s and businesses for people for many years and love to keep a clean space. If you need something organized or cleaned that is something I offer for extra income. Also experienced in house plants and can water for you while you’re gone as well (indoor or out if needed).

About: I love animals and befriending all sorts of pets no matter how short or long my time! I have always had a pet in my life ranging from small rodents, dogs and cats. The longest pet relationships I've had are three dogs and a playful cat named Matty that took on the personality of a playful pup. For Doggy Day Care: Currently, I work from home and am able to host small dogs during the day with my own puppy. They will be housed indoors and given potty breaks every 2-4 hours. Please expect your dog to be crated if they are not potty trained and for time outs if they are too hyper. Otherwise, they are free to roam the designated doggy areas and also get to lounge on the couch! Requirements for day care: new clients must provide proof of vaccination, be on monthly parasite control, and should not have history of aggression towards other dogs or strangers. This is necessary to keep my dog safe as well as yours during their stay. Fully vaccinated puppies over 4 months old are also welcome. For House Sitting Care: House sitting is currently on hold. I have house sat for many friends and coworkers who needed dog, cat, or bunny care. I am someone who will easily befriend any pet and make sure they are comfortable throughout your absence. You can also rely on me to keep your home how you left it and am in the habit of tidying up after myself pretty well at client homes.If there are accidents, I am known to clean up or take care of things in the house for you until your return. Whenever I have plans during the stay, I would not stay away for longer than 6 hours. With permission from clients or clients that allow me to bring an additional family member, I have found it beneficial to be able to ask my sister or partner to come along and keep an eye on the pets while I'm away. :D So, if you think I am a good fit for your house sitting needs or drop ins: Please let me know what level of communication you would like throughout my assistance so I can be mindful of whether you want quiet time away or would like updates often. If I haven't heard from you, I will usually do a nightcap with photos and short stories about your pet. :-) I work from home and have a lot of freedom to take care of your dog at my own home. Your dog would follow the current routine I have for my own which is a cycle of potty, play time, nap/rest, and a walk in the afternoon. I enforce crate naps for my puppy, however, we can discuss what your dog needs. I live in an apartment complex that offers two small fields with dog potty stations. I have a lot of experience walking a variety of dogs, so you can be sure to feel safe leaving your dog with me. The front door is also blocked with a 30 inch tall pen so your dog will never be able to bolt through an open door during the stay. We will provide an extra crate for your dog here and they will be supervised most of the time while they are here.

I'm excited to share that I’m offering dog sitting services in our community (Athens) As a proud dog owner of four adorable Chihuahuas, I understand the importance of finding someone trustworthy to care for your furry family members.

I have a fenced yard and 4 adorable chihuahuas to play with new friends. Peewee, Lilly, Lola and Lilly. My male chihuahua is neutered, so no worries. The other 3 are females but they are not spayed.

“Benjamin took great care of our 3-year-old high-energy lab. He’s a natural with dogs and we feel lucky to have found him. Our pup came home tired and happy after a day chasing balls in the dog park and playing with Benjamin’s dog. This was the second time Benjamin cared for our lab, and he enthusiastically jumped in his car when Benjamin picked him up. We highly recommend Benjamin for dog care services.”
