1. Lauren S.

“Lauren was an excellent pet sitter! She was kind, reliable, and incredibly communicative throughout the entire time. I loved getting regular updates and pictures of my pet, which really put me at ease. It was clear she treated my pet with so much care. I highly recommend her services and will definitely book her again.”


2. Calvin R.

“Calvin joined our family about a month ago- my dog Charlie, as well as son Sidney, and I have all grown accustomed to and enthusiastically welcome Calvin's presence in our home. Charlie looks delighted every time Calvin comes over, and the pics he sends to me of he and Charlie playing brings a smile to my face knowing that even though I can't be there myself all of the time to play, I find comfort knowing that Charlie has grown to love Calvin in my absence. And...the fact that Calvin served in the US Army is an additional bonus, as I know he understands the importance of responsibility as well as accountability.”


3. Michele P.

“Michele was absolutely fantastic! She really cares about cats and went above and beyond to make sure our shy kitty was comfortable enough to come out and play. Michele also took great initiative to keep the place clean of all cat mess. We really appreciate how sweet and wonderful she was with our fur baby.”


4. Lauren T.

5. Alyse E.

“Alyse was absolutely amazing with our cat when we went away on a little getaway. She stopped in twice a day to feed and gave her plenty of love. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will be on the lookout for her for our next trip”


6. Sophia R.

“Trust worthy enough to handle her own business but also I really appreciate how well my dog(and house) seem to have been treated. Would recommend”


7. Haley M.

“Haley was great! She came over to the house a few days before watching Dixie so I could show her where everything was and explains dog’s dietary needs for meal time. Very communicative about her visits with plenty of photos and was very easy to coordinate with. I will definitely be using Haley again in the future for drop in visits.”


8. Gabrielle L.

“Always so sweet and amazing with my pup. She keeps me updated and informed. Thank you!!”


9. Emma W.

“Emma was great checking in on my cat! He was well-fed, well-loved, and very happy when I came home, and my home was respected and looked just as it did before I left. She also provided many pictures for each drop in which was very appreciated. Emma communicated quickly and efficiently.”


10. Annie D.

“Annie did a great job checking in on and giving medication to our cat! She gave updates and took lots of pictures so we could relax while out of town!”


11. Ashley M.

“Ashley was the best sitter ever!! She followed all directions, and went above and beyond. She was an expert at dealing with a hiccup with our door, and was willing to try to get it to work many times. Our cats loved her and we look forward to using her again in the future!”


12. Leah R.

“Leah was GREAT with my cat! He normally ignores or hides from strangers, but he took to Leah so well and she was great with him! Definitely recommend her.”


13. Darcy C.
About: I'm Darcy, Athens resident and lifelong pet lover (seriously, my first word was "dog"). I have experience with pet-sitting, house-sitting, and sitting petting pets! I also have two special-needs dogs of my own (deaf, cerebellar hypoplasia, and anxiety), so I am confident and competent when handling pets of differing abilities. I would love to meet your fur babies and ensure they are well-fed, well-walked, and well-loved in your absence! I am an aspiring librarian who currently works full-time, but I am available after 5PM on weekdays, all day on Saturday, and 7AM-10AM and 2PM-8PM on Sundays. I know that pets are family, and I will ensure your pet receives the love, care, and attention that I would want for my own. I am happy to do a meet and greet so that you feel reassured your pet is in capable hands.




14. Jennie P.

“There was something appealing about Jennie the moment I read her profile and once we met her, we felt completely comfortable trusting her with our pooch. You will feel the same, I promise.”


15. Justin J.
“Justin took great care of my Jax! He walked him every day for a month while I was away. He took pictures and made sure he kept up with my schedule. Ask him to see pictures of his dog Luna! Adorable!”


16. Stephanie T.
“Stephanie was super sweet to all our pets and very accommodating to our needs. We have a mixed pet family of an inside/outside dog, inside only cat, and outside only cat but Stephanie handled it all in stride. The photos, videos, and funny stories let us know our four-legged family was well-loved while we were away on an extended trip. She was great at communicating and quick to respond to any questions or requests. We will definitely have her pet sit again!”


17. Caroline D.

“First time having Caroline at our home to watch our 2 dogs. Very responsive, sent a bunch of pictures, professional. Really loves the pets she watches. Will definitely use her again and would recommend!”


18. PATRICIA T.

“We were very happy with Patricia's care when we booked drop-in visits for our dog with her! She replied promptly, was very friendly, and it was easy to schedule visits with her. During the visits, she gave us very thorough updates including photos of our pup! We would use her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone!”


19. Ashlyn F.

“Ashlyn is fantastic! She takes plenty of pictures and lets you know how your furry family is doing. Very communicative and friendly. Highly recommend and if we ever need pet sitting again, we will be back!”


20. Sean S.

“Sean did a wonderful job taking care of my dog for a week. He was conscientious and communicated throughout the week, and best of all, my dog was happy and peaceful when I got home! Thanks, Sean!”
