House Sitting in Watkinsville

“Annie was great with my German Shepherd while I was away. He’s very scared of new people and she was great about coming for a few visits before to help make him more comfortable. He seemed happy and well taken care of - I will definitely have Annie come stay again!”

About: I have been taking care of fur babies for what seems like forever. I will take care of your baby with the utmost of care and love. I have experience with crate training, working with pups on how to walk on a leash, administering medications, and cleaning litter boxes. I also believe that communication is key so I will give updates and you can text me anytime you need get an update. Your baby will be taken care of while you are away. I work Monday through Friday. I can check on your pet once I get off and I am available on the weekends. It is just best to get in touch with me and we can work out what schedule works out best. I live in an apartment complex so I would walk your dog on a leash and there is an area for dogs to play if that is something that is in interest to you. If I am at your home, I will make sure the dog is taken out when needed, fed and given water when needed, and the litter box is clean. I can also administer medications or vitamins if needed.

“Sydney does such a great job for us! The pets all love her, even our skittish kitty. She also leaves the house looking better than she left it and is so pleasant to work with! She'll definitely take great care of anyone's home and pets. :)”

“Fantastic!! Alyse did a great job taking care of my 3 yr old standard poodle and 8 week old puppy. She kept me updated on how they were doing. I will definitely recommend her and hope to use her again to stay with pups.”

About: I grew up taking care of my family dog. I am familiar and fond of the company of dogs of all kinds. I'm very adept at taking care of dogs who are nervous/reactive. I have a knack for making them feel safe in my company. I am a current cat owner and would love to own a dog. Every day I give my cat lots of cuddles, kisses, and play! I want my cat to love living with me as much as I do with him and I am always thinking of new ways to make him happy. I am very careful to respect the environments to which I am an invited guest and make sure that I am honoring the wishes of my host in my conduct and through the care that I give their pets.

“Sara is great! So nice and responsive. My pups were super happy when I got home and I know they’d been loved on. I’ve already booked my next stay with Sara. Can’t recommend enough.”

About: I love dogs. I am a certified dog groomer and worked for 2 years as a groomer's assistant at Dog Days Daycare in New Jersey. I also have 2 years of volunteer work at a dog shelter cleaning cages and feeding dogs. In addition to being a dog lover, I am incredibly reliable and responsible and will make sure your dog is well cared for! I am currently available almost at anytime and can work long term schedules or as needed what ever pet care needs are. In addition to dog walking or pet sitting I can also provide grooming, nail clipping ($8), teeth cleaning ($3) , and gland excretion ($10). My preference is to provide services at your home. I could also take in the mail and water plants as well as feed and provide cat care.

About: I have had pets all my life. I have had dogs, cats, goats, fish, turtles, deer, squirrels! You name it and I’ve probably had it. I am a frequent volunteer at the Athens Clarke County Animal Shelter. I love giving some much needed attention to the sweet animals while they wait for their fur-ever homes! Let me take care of your babies! I’ll treat them just like my own. I am a teacher, so I am currently available for the summer. During the school year my availability will be more limited, but I am still open to pet sitting when I can. I am happy to come to your home and care for your pet in their space. I am also willing to come and give walks and potty breaks throughout the day if that’s what you want.

About: I have always had a deep love of animals. I have experience with young puppies and have three cats and a dog of my own. I am my family’s and friends’ go-to petsitter! I have morning, afternoon, and evening availability throughout the week between shifts at my job, and I am happy to make things work for your schedule needs! I am detail-oriented and like to do things right. I am also super flexible to work with you and your pet with anything you need!

About: I don’t just show up—I take the time to understand each cat’s individual personality, preferences, and quirks. Whether that means respecting their need for space or engaging them with their favorite toy, I adapt my care to fit them. I also keep pet parents in the loop with updates and photos, so they feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My experience, reliability, and love for animals make me someone pets can trust—and someone owners can count on. I’m based in Athens, GA, for a majority of the summer, working part time. I’m most free in the evenings and morning before 9 a.m. When caring for pets, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment tailored to each animal’s unique needs. I stick closely to feeding and medication schedules, keep living spaces clean, and make sure pets get plenty of playtime, enrichment, and affection. For cats, that might mean quiet companionship and interactive toys; for dogs, it often means long walks, games, and plenty of exercise. I also communicate regularly with pet parents, providing updates and photos so they know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I'm a current veterinary student, so I'm very comfortable with any pets that might need some extra care or attention! Whether that be additional medications, insulin injections, managing high energy or helping soothe thunderstorm anxiety - I'm here to care for your pet like I would my own. On my journey to and throughout veterinary school, I’ve been lucky to have worked with animals of all shapes, sizes and personalities, both as a veterinary assistant for five years and as a trusted pet/house-sitter since I was 15. While I don’t currently have any pets with me during school, I grew up in a house with seven dogs - from seniors to puppies, large to small, and even a few cats! I’m no stranger to a full, furry household or to coming in second to our pack of spoiled pets! I miss having animals around every day outside of school, so getting to care for your pets is truly the best part of my week. As a future vet, my care is always judgment-free and if it makes your pet happy, I’m happy to do it! Growing up with that many pets who all had their own quirks, I totally understand that every pet is different - whether your pet has a specific feeding routine, needs to burn off some energy or just wants a little extra TLC, I’m here to meet them exactly where they’re at. I’m always happy to follow any instructions on how to best make your pet feel safe, loved and completely at-home. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for, so you can rest easy and enjoy peace of mind during your time away! I'm currently off for the summer, so I'll have plenty of free time to spend with your pups! If you have a pet that needs someone to stay with them for most of the day, I'm able to do that. I am available all-day most days and can be very flexible until classes begin in August. I'm all about transparency, so after the first week of August, my availability changes slightly. I will be available on weekdays in the mornings and evenings, so if your pet is comfortable being alone for some of the day but happy to get love and cuddles after, this is a good fit! I also have open availability on weekends during this time. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize creating a calm, familiar, and safe environment where they can feel completely at ease. I always take the time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide care that’s consistent and comforting. To ensure the best possible care, I love to schedule meet and greets before bookings. It gives us all a chance to get to know each other and helps you and your pet feel more comfortable when the time comes. It's also important to me that you, as pet parents, feel confident and reassured that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. I recognize that being apart from your pet can feel unfamiliar and scary, so I share daily photo and video updates to keep you in the loop and show you how much fun we're having! I value open and honest communication above all else and will never hesitate to reach out if anything comes up. I'm a clean, non-smoking, responsible and highly respectful guest. As a veterinary student, most of my time outside of class is spent studying - so your pet would have a calm, focused companion (and maybe even a new study buddy!).

About: I worked at/ managed a private pet boarding facility for four years. Through that, I have worked with pets of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I am comfortable caring for any breeds and multiple pets at a time! I am a student at UGA and live in Athens full time. I currently have a job I work a few evenings a week as well as a virtual internship three days a week. My schedule allows me to be flexible and ensure the highest quality of care! I currently have two cats, but have always grown up with three or more dogs in the home. Through this, I understand the necessity to keep pets on a schedule to ensure as much consistency in their lives- even if their owner is not home!

“I think our dog may like Nicole better than us. Seriously, Nicole is truly outstanding! This is the second time we’ve asked her to take care of our dog, and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again. Totally dependable and trustworthy, and knows how to keep an active dog occupied and happy.”

“Rinn was great. All the instructions were followed and everything was in order when I returned. I will certainly ask Rinn to sit with Coco again whenever needed.”

“Hannah was a lifesaver. We have older dogs on a lot of medications and we needed to go out of town for a few days for a wedding. She stayed at our house and took care of our fussy dogs and cat and kept us informed all weekend. She was great and will definitely use her again!! Great job!!!”
