Pet Boarding in Watkinsville

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and lifelong experience caring for them. I’ve been watching and caring for dogs since I was 10, and I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the same love and attention I’d give my own. I am a nurse but only work 3 days a week, and I’d love to help out on my days off! I have weekends off :) I provide safe and attentive care for walks and drop-in visits. I always follow your dog’s routine, ensure secure entry and exits, and keep them on a safe leash at all times. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy levels, and comfort, making sure they feel happy, calm, and well cared for while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and peace of mind are my top priorities

“Linda took great care of my girl. She also sent pictures and videos to help ease my fears of leaving Bella for the first time with someone other than family. I could not have asked for a better person to watch Bella.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jonathan was truly amazing with my dog while I was away! He was kind, communicative, and incredibly caring throughout the entire stay. My dog tends to have a hard time when I’m out of town, but Jonathan handled everything with so much patience and compassion. He kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which really helped ease my mind. I could tell my pup was in great hands. I’m so grateful we found him — highly recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable sitter!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets and pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was young. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including larger breeds such as Pit Bulls, XL American Bullies, and Cane Corsos. I’m comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and safety. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just lots of attention and affection, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I promise to be dependable, responsible, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I am currently a college student home for the summer and do not have another job, which allows me to offer a very flexible schedule. I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding. If your pet is staying with me, I will be home for most of the day aside from occasional errands or appointments. This allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, exercise, and companionship to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I live in a house with a yard and access to a dog park within my neighborhood, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, and enrichment. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions provided by owners and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I will provide attentive care tailored to their individual needs.

About: My husband and I have owned our dogs since 2018, adopting a third in 2024. We've been fostering for a rescue for nearly 3 years- we've fostered/rehabilitated 16 dogs through adoption so far! We call them our "foster alumni" and often see them back for a weekend of pet sitting. I work a standard 9-5:30, so my availability is limited to nights and weekends. If you're nearby with a morning need, let me know and maybe we can work it out. Our pets are welcome in all parts of our home, as well as any guest dogs. We always kennel "guest" dogs when we're away. Our younger dog is still kenneled when we're gone, the older ones stay in the office. When we're here, our dogs and guest dogs have a fenced in front and back yard to play in, an easy neighborhood to walk in, and can take their pick from the toy bin in the living room.

“Imani was fantastic! Her responses were quick and her communication was top tier. I know S‘mores enjoyed his time with Imani. I highly recommend.”

“Love this laid back atmosphere where my very needy & spoiled lab can wonder in and out and all around this beautiful house and yet still b safe and contained. Very relaxed vibe with a very sweet caretaker. My boy has had 2 day visits and a 2 day/night over nighter and always comes back happy and tired. I would highly recommend this sitter.”

“This was our first time using Xionella for our two small pups. She was very accomodating in letting us do a home visit prior to the time she was going to take care of them. She was great at keeping us updated with pictures and very communicative.”

“Omg! First time on the rover app and met Beverly. Her and her family are true gems and I am so thankful to have met them. GG can’t wait to hang with his new found friends. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience ♥️♥️♥️”

About: While in my care, you can be sure your pup will be spoiled with undivided love + attention. Whether we are lounging in the yard, out for a walk, or getting belly rubs on the bed, your fur-baby and I will be sure to send you photos throughout their stay to show you how much fun we are having! I have a dog and cat (and daughter!) of my own and my husband and I work from home full time, so your pet will never be lonely. Visitors will be treated the same as family members. They will receive lots of attention and have full access to our home and fenced in yard

“So kind to nervous dog parents! Blue had a blast. She took her to work at the very clinic she was adopted from and we could pick her up any time that day. Blue was worn out afterwards and obviously had a good time!”

“Kristin was amazing!!!! This was my first time using Rover and Kristin made me feel so at ease!!! She welcomed both my babies into their home and family as they were one of their own ❤️ I hope that in the future our schedules will work out when we are away! I know Kyla and Huck were so happy to have made such great new friends!!!!”

“Brittany and her family is so sweet. Buttons really enjoyed himself and loves them. She sent pictures and videos. I didn’t worry about my Buttons with her,which was such a relief which made it so easy for me to enjoy my trip. I had to extend my furbaby’s stay and she worked with me on that as well. If you want someone to love and care for your furbaby, she is the one to call. We so definitely will be using her again?”
