The nation's largest network of 5-star pet sitters and dog walkers

**About me**
I am a junior at the University of Georgia studying Psychology and Biology. I live at the Flats at Carrs Hill with one other female student. My parents currently have two standard poodles, who I grew up loving and taking care of. I absolutely love dogs and will ensure a loving, attentive, and safe environment for your furry friend! There are no other animals living in the apartment, so your dog will always be the number one priority. I have taken care of my friends dogs numerous times and am comfortable with a wide variety of breeds and sizes. I attend class at most three hours out of the week day, but come straight home afterwards, every day. I can keep 1 to 2 dogs in my apartment at a time, and am comfortable coming to you and caring for them at your home.

**About my home/services**
My apartment complex is dog friendly, and has grassy areas for dogs to be let out. The apartment is mainly hardwood, with the exception of the bedrooms which are carpeted. It is a two bedroom with a kitchen and living area, which means decent space for small to medium sized dogs to be comfortable. I am on the third floor, meaning if your dog were to ever get out of the apartment, there is no chance of them wandering out into the street.

**About my neighborhood**
I am located pretty central to both the UGA campus and downtown Athens. Dudley Park is located right across the street, which is a 24 acre park with Trail Creek and North Oconee River running right through it. This would be a great area for long and fun walks.

**What to expect**
I will love, cuddle on, and play with your dog throughout the entirety of his or her stay with me. If your dog is more of a lone wolf I will ensure a comfortable environment. Feel free to bring any toys, beds, blankets, etc. that your dog enjoys and might want while you are away.

**Special rules or requests**
I would prefer for dogs staying in my home to shed only a minimal amount, however a large amount of shedding is manageable. I have class Monday, Wednesday, Friday 11:15-2:15, and Tuesday, Thursday 9:30-10:45 with an additional Tuesday lab from 2:15-3:15 so I will not be able to pick up or drop off during those times.

Hi! My name is Jill and I love animals. I am a student at UGA and I also work at the UGA Veterinary Hospital. I have grown up with dogs my entire life and I would have a dog of my own right now if I could, but I live in a small apartment and I do not feel that it is enough room for a pet. Because of this, I enjoy being around animals whenever I get the chance. I walk every day, so being able to walk someone's pet is an added bonus for me. I also house sit and can care for animals other than dogs. I will spend time with your animals and make sure they get plenty of attention.

I have a degree in knowing about a variety of animals. I have close relationships with veterinarians, vet students, and students applying to vet school. Ever since I was a little girl, I have taken care of all kinds of animals. I have dog sat for numerous people because they know I have the knowledge and experience working with animals. You will feel comfortable knowing I am caring for your pet. Not only will I love your pet, I will teach them what is right and wrong.

I do work a full-time job (M-F, 8-5), so it's best to schedule drop in visits on weekends. I can in-house sit at any time as well as sit at my own home. I live by myself in my apartment, so your dog will be with me and only me. I have a balcony connected to my apartment as well as a patio area behind the apartments that is completely fenced; my dog plays with other dogs in the apartment there.

If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. I will be completely honest with my answers; no run-arounds.

My name is Taylor, and I am currently an education major at the University of Georgia. I am looking to earn some cash, while doing something I love: being around animals. I have a miniature dachshund who is 9 years old, unfortunately I had to leave him with my family when I moved to college. I really miss having him around. I would love to care for your furry friend. I have plenty of experience with animals, and understand that they are much more than pets, they are family and should be treated as such.

I have an extremely flexible job that allows me to spend a lot of time with my dogs. I have a wonderful fenced back yard where we all love to run around, and with my extra free time, my pups and I love to go on walks. I live a mile from 5 Points, which is perfect for walks, and safe, with lots of sidewalks. My dogs are well trained and we do daily drills to make sure they stay well behaved gentlemen. These are all things I would love to share with any dogs I would have the privilege of caring for!

Hi, I am Angela! I am learning animal nutrition at UGA grad school and living in Athens right now. I finished my bachelor degree in animal science in Iowa State University and volunteered in Guide dog breeding center and shadowed Vet in Minnesota. I have 5 years experience in taking care of animals.

I have my own dog, Pudding. He is sweet and playful. He is also a service dog so he always gets along well with other dogs and cats. (my previous roommate has a dog and a cat) I am sure your furiend will have fun and feel happy being with me and Pudding. I will also send pics and update to you!

P.S.: If you need any additional service, I am happy to help you out, please contact me in advance. I can speak Cantonese and Mandarine Chinese. If you are not good at communicate in English. Feel free to use Chinese to contact me. I am also willing to translate any technicality words associate with animal care to Chinese.

Howdy! My name is Laura and I'm a 30 year old proud dog mama of a 3 and a half year old lab mix. I have had dogs my whole life and obviously love them, I recently moved down to Athens last June. I've used Dog Vacay several times for a sitter for my own dog, and I was really impressed. I thought it may be cool to try becoming a puppy sitter for a bit. I love being active with dogs and giving them a lot of love and attention. Running and walking are a must in my daily life. During the week, I have a flexible schedule. Someone I can work from home and other times, I will be working outside of my home, so the dogs will be alone for some time. I am responsible and really understanding of how hard it can be to leave your dog with a sitter. I would make it my priority to make both your dog and you feel comfortable and relaxed. You can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe and well taken care of. If you have questions, please feel free to ask!

I love all animals and getting to know their owners! I think our pets shouldn't have to be inside all day and us pet owners should have someone we trust to treat our pets as their own while we are away. I love being outside and finding new places to explore with my dog. We enjoy the local dog parks, hiking trails, playing fetch in the river, and meeting new dog playmates. While your pet stays with me, I will interact and do activities with your pet that they enjoy. I know it's sometimes difficult being away which is way I provide often updates. Being a college student I am very flexible and can work with the needs you and your pet have. I can't wait to meet you!
