Dog Walking in Athens

“My wife and I were looking for a fur baby sitter and house sitter since we do not kennel our three dogs. Ren came to us from a close friend. Memphis (8), Scooby (7) and Sophia (5) immediately fell in love with her and took her gentleness. We had a weekend trip up to Louisville, KY for the first time we had Ren sit for us. We felt safe having her stay in our home with our kids for the first time meeting her. While we were away, she sent us photos of the kids playing with her and lounging around with her as if she were part of the family. One of the requirements we asked of Ren was to play frisbee with Scooby at least three times day and walk Sophia at least once (1.5 mile route). Ren did as we asked with no issues. Ren did such a great job with them that we had her come to our home over 2022 Christmas weekend on a last minute trip. She did not hesitate to help us out. Ren is kindhearted and great with our fur babies. We trust her enough to give her a garage door opener and home security code for future sittings. On a scale of 1 - 10, Ren gets a 10!!”

“Danielle is leash training and has made great progress in a short period of time. She also has taken the time to share her strategies so we can reinforce the training on our own. We are excited to continue. Danielle is very easy to communicate with and responds quickly. We had to reschedule due to local storms and the stress that this causes our boys. But she was mindful to check in and verify that it was what we preferred.”

“Very responsible and always on time. We didn’t have a chance to meet before hand but she did a great job entering our house per instructions and took good care of our dog. Also found a possible health issue with her that helped us to get to the vet for early treatment. She went above and beyond and I couldn’t ask for anything more.”

“She loves animals pets she is amazing with animals her love for animals is un brakble dhe would make a great sitter and a great dog walker.”

About: I grew up around dogs and have always enjoyed them! I have done in-house long term sitting previously. Walks, playing, whatever you need I can do! I recently moved back to the United States from abroad, so I have a free schedule while I hunt for jobs. I'm flexible! Weekends and weekdays are available! We have a yard at home, and our neighborhood is very dog friendly. There's a pond in the neighborhood, perfect for a stop on walks. I can walk your dog on a leash no problem!

“Karol is very patient and kind to all animals. She went above and beyond to visit my dogs when I couldn't get home due to weather delays. I trust her in my home completely. My pets loved her immediately. My elder diabetic dog was in safe hands with Karol .She was able to help administer his medications and she helped potty train my baby”

“This amazing woman has looked after my own dog for several days while I was out of town. He was a wild one but she kept track and took good care of him. Amazing work if I do say so myself. She is always the first one I call when I need someone to watch my dog.”

About: Our pets are like our children. They are 100% a part of our family. One of the major drawbacks to vacationing is leaving our babies at a kennel or somewhere else where they are caged and under-loved. I want everyone to be able to leave their pets and be stress free while they are away. I want to spend my days playing with your animal! If they like to play ball, take walks or just cuddle, I can accommodate. I also want customers to feel at ease and don't mind giving updates and sending pictures. For long days at work, I can take care of whatever the needs of your pets are. I'm very flexible and want to put pet owners at ease whenever they are away from their homes. I am available for pet sitting in your home. I can take care of your pets while you are on vacation, or if you have a long work day and need a mid day visit. I will treat your pets the same as I would my own. Making sure all their needs are met, from food/water and bathroom breaks to exercise, play and love. Bringing in mail, taking out trash and watering plants as well as other household needs will be included.

“Katie has watched my princess many many times. She’s so sweet and loving towards her. Katie treats her like she’s her own. When I would go out of town or needed someone to walk her I could always count on Katie. You’re able to trust her 10000% with your fur babies!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals all of my life, personally and professionally. I was trained as a veterinary technician and I can provide services for both dogs and cats. I always do my best to accommodate as many pets as possible. Providing these services to my community is a huge part of my life’s mission. I believe it is important to spend a lot of time with pets and pay very special attention to details, especially when it comes to specialized care (feeding, special needs, medications). I am fully able to give animals medications or special care if required.

About: I have cared for pets since I was a young child. I grew up in a home with many animals such as dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and much more! As I became a teenager I would dog sit for many friends and family. I love all animals and enjoy taking care of them! I currently work part time as a nurse and take care of pets the rest of the time. I’m available everyday of the week and every weekend! We have two acres of land for the pets to go out and run and play. We do take the pets out on a leash due to no fenced in yard at the moment. We allow the pets in our home. We also have an area across the street where we walk the dogs .

About: I have owned dogs growing up and have cared for my own babies as an adult for the last 12 years. My bully named turbo passed in December 2023 and I had him for an amazing 12 years. I am able to administer any kind of medicine you may need for your pet and can do dog walking, sitting, or drop in visits. This is currently my full-time job so I am able to accommodate a plethora of schedules and needs! I’d love to give you peace of mind any day, any time! I have 8 month old bully female, whose name is Coco. She is very sweet and loving and gets along with other dogs! . She is crate and potty trained and will definitely love to meet new friends should your babies come to our home!

“Madisyn has watched my pets for ten years.Her visits include the usuals and lots of extra snuggles.She has cared for my cats and dogs, from a Rottweiler to a Chihuahua , and my many cats, in fact eight pets at a time. Very trustworthy to care for your babies. 5+ stars”

“Allison is great with pets. She has been taking care of my cats for 4 years! Lots of love and caring for my fur babies!!”

“Madison did amazing house sitting my babies! Hedi is a bit more on the reactive side and we’ve never been able to get a house sitter but Madison worked with her amazingly and really impressed us! Will definitely always use her for the future.”

About: From a young age I’ve loved, owned and cared for cats and dogs! The past decade most of my experience has been with dogs, living with a variety of ages and breeds. My current pet is an 11 year old German Shepherd rescue named Bayla and I’ve been also helping care for my sibling’s Great Dane/GSD mix and adorable Australian Shepherd pup! I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet during work or vacation and would love to help ease that burden! Last year I stepped back from my corporate job to do missionary training and ministry in SE Asia. I haven’t obtained a new job yet so my schedule is very open and flexible! My care of your pet will be tailored to their needs and your preferences. Please be as detailed as possible so I can best serve you!

About: I grew up with a lot of different animals and of course helping out friends and family with their pets ever since i was little. I currently help my mom at her job when she needs me, but other than that i’m always free! i will start college in the fall of course! I will care for your pets by watching them, loving them, feeding them and taking them outside to potty and play however so often needed.

“Abbie is a loving and caring individual who has taken great care of my pets in the past. She does a good job giving dogs the care and attention that they need and has administered medicine for mine when needed. My dogs can be a mess but she treats them respect and gives them the attention they need. She is dependable, responsible, and communicated well any time I have used her services.”

“Paityn watched my dog for me while I was viewing houses in another state and to see the bond she formed with my pup in five days was unreal. My dog is usually abrasive to new people but paityn just had such a soothing aura to her and it really took effect on my boy.”

“Meryl has taken care of my dogs every time we travel abroad, they are happy and healthy. She send lots of pictures updates. Our older dog likes to be petted a lot and she is nice enough to give him lots of TLC. she takes them on walks, lets them have an area of her house for me to set up their beds and food. We have built a relationship of trust with her”
