Dog Walking Acworth

About: Hello Pet Owners, I work from home most days and have plenty of time for drop ins, walks and overnight stays. I will do my best to make time away from your pets as stress free as possible. I have experience administering medications if needed. I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs. I am available weekdays and weekends. Being away from your pet is stressful and I’m here to make it easier knowing your pet is in good hands. I will keep your pets as close as possible based on their needs. Communication is key and will provide updates and photos at least twice a day

“Alyssa was early to her first walk with Annie which is always appreciated! She was patient with her even though she can be stubborn and encouraged her to walk!”

About: I’ve taken care of large animals to small animals for majority of my life from living on a farm. I have the skill set to work with a wide variety of different breeds of dogs. I’m currently self employed, allowing myself to have a wide variety of availability. I currently am offering weekday walks and open availability for dog sitting periods. I have many years of experience. Specifically I have been a dog sitter for 10 years and have reliable references to provide upon request. I am responsible and respectful of your loved ones and your loved space.

About: What sets us apart is that we’re a husband-and-wife team, giving your pets the benefit of two dedicated caregivers instead of one. This allows for greater flexibility, availability, and attention, while ensuring your pets receive plenty of love, companionship, and care. As pet parents to 4 dogs and 4 cats ourselves, we have experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs—from energetic youngsters to senior and medically complex animals. We’re comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining the routines that help pets feel safe and comfortable. We understand that leaving your pets with someone else requires trust. That’s why we prioritize communication, reliability, and treating every pet as if they were our own. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. For us, pet sitting isn’t just a job—it’s an opportunity to care for animals we genuinely love. Pet care is a natural part of our daily life. As a husband-and-wife team, we have exceptional flexibility and availability to meet the needs of the pets in our care. Mom works from home, and Dad is currently between jobs, which means we can provide frequent attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication administration, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. We also have two responsible teenagers who are passionate animal lovers and have grown up caring for our family’s pets. While all pet care remains our responsibility, having extra helping hands available allows us to provide even more attention, exercise, playtime, and affection when needed. Because there are two adult caregivers in our household, overnight care is never a challenge. Whether your pet needs a consistent routine, extra supervision, medication, or simply lots of love and companionship, we can work together to ensure their needs are met. Our home revolves around animals, and we genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Caring for pets isn’t something we fit into our schedule—it’s already a part of our everyday life. When caring for pets in their own home, our goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. We know that pets are often most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so we take the time to learn their schedules, preferences, and any special instructions before care begins. We treat every home with the same respect we would our own and are happy to bring in mail, water plants, adjust lights, and help maintain your home’s normal routine while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. Most importantly, we’ll care for your pets like they’re part of our own family—providing the love, patience, and attention they deserve until you return home.

“Varsha is caring and on time to take care of Toby Little Man!”

About: With a solid year of pet care experience, I bring a personal touch to my services, having lovingly cared for my friend’s pets, along with my own. This hands-on experience has given me invaluable insight into the daily joys and challenges of pet ownership, from understanding their unique needs to ensuring their well-being. My commitment to providing the best care for your furry family member is unwavering, and I'm eager to extend the same level of care and attention that I cherished with my own pet. I am happy to assist ANY days of the week! I am taking college classes but am very organized & plan things with my schedule so I can watch your baby anytime! I do have classes ONLY Tuesday & Thursday this semester from 2pm - 6.30pm! It’s all about creating a serene space that feels safe and familiar for the pets. Ensuring they're comfortable, following their usual routine, and giving them plenty of love and attention. Plus, keeping everything super clean and secure is key.

About: Animals have always been a meaningful part of my life. As a child, I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. While my path took a different direction, my love for caring for animals never changed. I find joy, peace, and connection in being around dogs and cats, they comfort me as much as I comfort them. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions. While I haven’t done formal training, I’m confident and experienced in handling both younger and older pets with patience and care. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating your pet like family. I’ve pet-sat for friends, neighbors, and through Rover always approaching it with a calm, loving presence. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing that when you can’t be there, I’ll be there to care for your pet just as you would. I graduated from the University of South Carolina Beaufort in April 2023 with a bachelor’s degree in Business Management. I have found that I love being around animals more than people in an office so I have full-time availability throughout the week to dedicate my time and attention to pet care. I’ll always keep my availability up to date, and if I’m ever unable to help, I’m happy to recommend other trusted sitters I know. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I’m committed to making it a lasting part of my life. I've been surrounded by animals my entire life. When I was just 8 years old, my parents got my sisters and I our first puppy, who was with us until she was 17 years old. Over the years, my family has cared for a variety of pets, including three dogs, a cat, two hamsters, and even a lizard. Today, I share my home with my fiancé, our dog Rino, and our cat Milo. Because I’ve always been around animals, caring for them comes naturally to me. Whether I’m in my home or yours, my top priority is making sure your pet feels loved, safe, and happy. I treat every animal as if they were my own; with patience, kindness, and attention to their unique needs. I'm available for dog walking, feeding, administering medication, and more. You can trust that your pet will be in caring and capable hands.

About: Hi! I have been loving, raising, and training dogs since I was in middle school, including my family dog, Pipso, an Australian Shepherd mix, and 2 cats as well: Gizmo and Jelly Bean. Now, I have a 10-year-old Husky mix named Rizzo, who I love with my whole heart. I love helping dogs and cats get the love and exercise they need, and getting to help someone out at the same time! I am a voice teacher, so my availability will be limited some afternoons, but I always do my best to keep my availability accurate, and I never schedule a walk/sitting unless I am 100% available! I will also always communicate how long my work will keep me away from your pet; transparency is key! Your pet's safety is always most important to me, so I always make sure never to bite off more than I can chew, even if that means not being able to accept a sitting/walking job. I can't wait to meet your furry friends!

“Connor was great and left important information from his walk with Scooby, including multiple pictures that helped me feel better that everything was taken care of while I was away. Friendly and professional I would highly recommend him!”

“I am so thankful we found Nicole. She is just perfect. Even with unexpected change of plans she still showed up and did a great job. We'll definitely be reusing her in the future!”

About: I have always loved caring for pets! When my childhood dog, Rusty, passed away 11 years ago, I adopted my sweet Zazu. I grew up caring for all of the neighborhood pets and turned it into a side business a few years ago! Most of my clients have moved away or moved to working from home now though, so I am excited to make new furry (or fluffy, feathered, what have you) friends! I am currently at home all day! I can take your baby to the park, on frequent walks, etc. My full time responsibility is making sure your pup is safe, relaxed, and entertained! I live in a cozy pet-loving neighborhood with a fenced in backyard. I am happy to leave your baby in the crate or roaming free in the rare case that I am gone. My dog is sweet and mild-mannered, but also gets along with playful pups! She is shy at first and might hide for an hour or two, but she always ends up best friends with other animals! I call her the “cat whisperer” because she has a weird talent for befriending even the meanest cats!

About: I have been a lifelong cat owner, along with years of experience, pet sitting, boarding, and fostering through local animal rescues. I have a flexible, work from home schedule, and am reliable, communicative, and trustworthy. I will take care of your pet like it was my own. I work from home and have a flexible work schedule Monday - Friday. Most weekends are available. Mid day drop in visits or walks are possible too. I make sure the front door is closed before leaving the house. Change the water and feed the dog if requested. Keeping the dog safe during walks is important to me.

“My dog absolutely loves Michele. She is always willing to walk my dog and gives her lots of play time while she is there. Can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I have always loved dogs and I have decided that I want to be around dogs in my free time because it makes me happy! I am a soon to be retired school teacher and want to spend my time now with animals especially dogs! For the next 10 months I will be still working my teacher schedule and would like to get a head start on my next venture. I would be available for dog sitting on weekends and dog walks after 3pm during the work week and anytime over weekends. I have always had a dog growing up and very lovingly cared for my own dogs for the last 31 years. I enjoy being around all dogs. When I retire I would also like to volunteer somewhere for dogs. I am a retired school teacher and I am substituting teaching part time. So, I am available most days unless I have a sub job. I really enjoy being around dogs and cats. I have a fenced in backyard and one dog named Lina. She is medium sized and very friendly with other dogs. I would love to love on your fur baby.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my combination of hands on vet tech experience and personal experience caring for a special needs dog of my own. This gives me a well rounded understanding of both medical awareness and everyday pet comfort. I’m confident handling everything from routine care to recognizing when something isn’t quite right, and I stay calm in stressful situations. I also know how important patience, consistency, and gentle handling are, especially for pets that need a little extra support or have specific health requirements. I am a free bird as I just recently separated from the United States Navy. So my schedule is as open as open can be! Any day and time of the week you need me I am here! I care for every pet as if they were my own, focusing first on safety, comfort, and consistency in their routine. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions exactly as given so the pet stays in a familiar environment with minimal disruption. I keep their feeding, walking, medication, and play schedules consistent, and I pay close attention to their behavior so I can quickly notice any changes in appetite, mood, or health. With my vet tech experience, I’m confident in recognizing signs of stress or illness and responding appropriately, including seeking veterinary care if needed. I’m also especially mindful of pets with special needs, senior pets, or puppies who require extra supervision, patience, and gentle handling. In my own home, I maintain a clean, pet-safe environment that is calm and structured. I supervise interactions at all times, ensure pets are never put in unsafe situations, and provide plenty of enrichment, attention, and comfort so they feel secure and cared for.

“Fantastic walker. Was great for my dog who required a little extra accommodations.”
