Pet Boarding in Watkinsville

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: 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

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.

“Kristen started with a nice pre-stay meet-and-greet with our dog and her and her dogs. Kristen kept us updated on our dog while he was in her care. Our dog enjoyed playing with Kristen’s dogs, and sounds like he settled into a good routine pretty quickly. We felt confident that our dog was well looked after, was showed affection, and was comfortable and happy during his stay.”

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.

“Rebekah saved me!!!! She was so professional with her response and took great care of my baby! As always I am so nervous leaving my senior dog with anyone. She made me feel real comfortable. I will definitely use her again.”

Jill B.

“What a great place! Adrienne is amazing and the property is as well. We loved knowing that Jack was being cared for by a true animal lover. This should be the flagship Rover house for real.”

Brent M.

“I was a bit nervous about leaving my Doodle with separation anxiety (for me as well as the dog) but Jonathan made it all good. The "meet and greet" at the dog park assured both of us that his and my dog were going to get along splendidly. I appreciated the great communication and pics that Jonathan sent to reassure me that all was well during the stay.”

Jeannie O.

“JR and his family were great! Thankful they put up with my rambunctious girl and would definitely recommend to anyone!! Thank you so much for taking care of Luna!”

Shelby T.

“Xionella was absolutely wonderful to our baby! We received a ton of pictures and videos all weekend, making us feel very secure that he was in good hands. The communication was clear and consistent, keeping us updated and respecting any instructions or boundaries we gave. Our dog came home happy and very tired! He was clearly loved and played with throughout his time with Xionella!”

Emily P.

“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.”

Monique B.

“Stayed in constant contact and send photos throughout our boys stays.”

Michael B.

“She was very sweet and knowledgeable about dogs. I received daily updates and pictures. I was afraid Blondie would like her so much she wouldn't want to come home..lol.”

Evan G.

“We have used Bailey in the past for our two dogs, and we used her again to board our cat while we were gone for the week. She is always phenomenal!”

Tiffany K.

“Sibling was great. Our kitties had their own space and were well cared for. Even our skittish cat warmed up to Sunlong enough to come out for treats. Thank you!”

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

“Brittany was great. She sent me updates with pictures. She did a great job putting up with my playful pup. I felt safe leaving my boy with Brittany.”
