Dog Walkers in Athens, PA

About: I have taken care of my dogs, cats, bunnies, and hamsters for 64 years. I have also taken care of cats and dogs for friends. I am retired so I can tend to your animals and give them the best care while you are at work or away for the day. I can walk your dogs, make sure that they potty, and whatever else you want for your babies. I am experienced in giving meds and caring for geriatric dogs (I have one myself)

“Jessica and Mathew were GREAT. Our Leo was exhausted after his walks while we were traveling for a few days. We will use them again. Thank you guys.”

“Kristin was an excellent walker for our black lab, Chief. He can be a handful at times, but he took to Kristin straight away. She fit us in last minute, was on time, and sent us beautiful pictures from their walk. Looking forward to having her walk and dog sit in the near future. Thanks, Kristin!”

“Sara was wonderful with Sparky, even walking a few extra minutes a day & getting Sparky treats that she loved. I couldn't have asked for a better walker.”

About: Your crazy dog stories could never top mine! Dog mom of over 15 years. Currently have a 3 yr old high energy dog. Comfortable caring for any animal of any age. I love all fur babies like my own! I am currently working full-time at night, 5 nights a week. Available mostly any day prior to 3:30pm. Overnights wouldn’t be possible, but could check on your pups before & after work! I am very well versed with all doggy situations. My current situation is not ideal for a dog to come to my home, but checking on yours in their “safe” environment works best!

“Great experience with Titus watching our two dogs and cat.”

About: **Send me a message to schedule an in-home nail trim for either your dog or cat!** Hi there! 😌✨ I just moved to Sayre from North Carolina and I am looking for furry friends to explore the area! I am a dog groomer and my schedule is kind of all over the place so just shoot me a message to see if we can work something out 😌 Preferably walks or check-ins that are fairly time flexible. Prior to dog grooming, I have worked in management at both a Big Box pet store & a small boutique pet supply store, as well as at a boarding kennel. So would say I know the ins-and-outs of most animals and their care. I have personal experience caring for reptiles, rodents, fish and axolotls too :) I am comfortable and experienced in administering oral and injectable medications. I am most looking forward to booking walks to get out and explore the area. I am very open to taking more adventurous and higher energy pups out on hikes! I currently have a brown tabby named Norman who is the light of my life! 😻 *I am open to in-home grooming for particular pups, send me a message to discuss details I do not have a full-time job at the moment and am available essentially any day or time of the week. However, I am out of town Nov 1-16! I treat every furbaby I meet as if it were my own. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments due to my field. Same goes for kitties 🐱

“We left Leo at our elderly in-laws. We hired Meagan to walk our boy, Leo. Our in-laws LOVED Meagan. Our dog, Leo loved her more. Thank u Meagan”

“Mary kate is a great person to take care of your pets. I have used her twice now, once over last weekend she let my Katrina out to play and potty, and then Friday she took her on a long walk. I highly recommend Mary Kate to care for your pets.”

About: I've had the privilege of loving a variety of dogs: a large rottie/shepherd mix, a rat terrier, and currently an american lab puppy. Now that our lab is beginning to calm down, I'm eager to use my energy to help other people care for their pets! We used Rover for many years and I understand how important it is to find loving, last minute care for your beloved pet. I'll be sure to show your pups the best of care while you're away! I live by Barclay mountain, south of Towanda and commute to the Sayre/Athens area for work, which allows me to check in on pets in a wide range. I'd be happy to swing by before and after work as well as on my lunch as long as your location allows! We have a large, unfenced lawn (one day planning to put in a fence for future farm animals) and a small pond on our large, wooded property. Our dog is boundary trained but we keep a long 50 foot lead for visitors! Dogs are welcome to snuggle up on the couch but generally expected to sleep in their crate or bed as bedrooms are off limits to our furry friends. When I come to you to care for your pets, it's important to me that I follow the usual routine that you've established with them!

About: I have had many years of experience taking care of multiple cats and a couple of dogs. I love brushing and doing basic grooming maintenance on animals, and I have a little bit of experience administrating medication. I’m currently working full-time, but I am available to pet-sit and walk dogs during most weekends! I am looking for a more long-term set schedule on the weekends. I have several roommates who would love if your dog stopped by to give belly rubs and affection! I am happy to take your dog on fun walks at local parks and around the neighborhood.

About: Hello! My name is Denver and I have been a pet owner my whole life! I have experience with various breeds through family and friends and love taking care of animals. I have had a variety of pets that I have taken care of my whole life including; dogs, cats, moon jellyfish, African bullfrog, tree frogs, Pacman frog, and turtles. I am a recent college graduate so I have a lot of free time since moving back home. I have very flexible hours that include the weekdays and weekends. I will follow any specials instructions set by the owner that would nurture the dog and encourage good behavior. I can also assist with training reinforcement. I make sure pets get enough attention and love while they are in my care.

About: I have had pets my entire life so I have been taking care of my personal pets for almost 16 years. I have also taken care of my neighbors pets for weeks at a time when they are on vacations. I am currently available to work during the day and early evening. I am available to weekdays and weekends for drop in visits as needed. I am very good at keeping pets entertained as need be. I am good at handling dogs during walks and otherwise. I am also skilled at emptying litter boxes and caring for cats personally.

About: I was a dog trainer for many years and I just opened up my own grooming shop. Have owned dogs since 2012. Also fostered a few and love to volunteer. Love running with my dogs and going to the dog park. Home most of the time, and when I'm not my husband is there. Love working with different dogs. I learn from all of them. What works for one, may not work for others. Love doing agility courses with my dogs. I love giving my dogs a job, so they aren't bored. They are my world and your dogs would be treated the same. For drop in visits and walks, it‘s best on days when I’m not working. But for overnight stays, I can schedule time from work to come home for breaks or take the dog with me to work, as long as they are ok with other dogs. I take dogs out on leashes. I have a double door to go outside, so they can’t easily get out of the house. I also have baby gates and crates.

About: I helped care for family dogs and cats since I was about five years old, feeding, giving water, walking and cleaning up after them until I was 18. I have boarded two dogs for a friend and provided drop-in visits for a former neighbor for about a year after that and worked at a pet hotel from '17-'19 in which time I got a dog training certification. I have some experience taking care of mice and hamsters and would like to learn how to care for rats and snakes. I'm currently looking for part-time work and would be more than happy to provide the love and care that your fur babies require in your absence. I'm also a newer driver and could really use the experience. Afternoons and evenings work best but please don't be shy about asking for morning services. Depending on the service and your pet's needs, I will spend as much time as they need whether it be a brief or long walk, cuddling on the couch, etc. I will be working part-time starting April 14, 2024. I will have a schedule ready sometime afterwards. Hopefully it will be in the next few weeks. I will keep your pet indoors for the most part, depending on the pet. I prefer to keep dogs on a leash when they go out for walks and to potty unless there is a fenced in yard.

“Angela was totally amazing. This was my first time trusting anyone other than family with my babies and Angela made it so easy. She communicated with me daily sending pictures and updates and my dogs loved her. I will definitely be asking her to come again in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of numerous types of dogs for friends and family since I was 13. I trained my puppy and love playing with dogs of all ages. I currently work from home, which allows me to give your pets the attention they need during the day! I’m at home full time Monday-Friday and am available on weekends. My dogs are uncrated and allowed to be outside in my unfenced yard, though I usually go out with them. For peace of mind, I’ll take your pets out on a leash or a runner. In your home, I can do whatever you’d normally do.

About: Ive worked as a veterinary assistant and am very comfortable caring for all of your pet’s needs (medications, fluids, shots etc). I also have owned poultry, aquariums and reptiles so I am comfortable with all sorts of animals! I’ve fostered baby kittens too. I have an animal science degree from Cornell. Im certainly an animal lover! I have a lot of availability and flexibility in my schedule. I renovate houses and work from home part time doing freelance writing. Just let me know your pets’ needs and I can accommodate. I can walk your dog, administer medications, feed any food you like (including raw or home made), stay long hours, play fetch all day or relax and keep your pet company. :)

About: I’ve been involved with dogs and horses my entire life. I’ve trained a wide variety of dogs including, reactive dogs, puppies, seniors, small dogs, big dogs, nervy dogs and even some more challenging training like obedience and agility. With experience in house sitting, dog walking, public training, private sessions and more. I have knowledge in preventing medical illnesses and injuries as well as health and perfect diets. My services will not fail you on reliability, attention to detail, and flexibility. This would currently be my only job and one I would be more dedicated to. My household only has one vehicle at the moment so I would have to work around when my partner needs a ride to work and when I need to pick him up. But other than that I have plenty of free time to tend to your animals. Currently I am available to care for pets in my clients homes, your animals will be in safe hands as well as your home. Being attentive to animals is most important and making sure they get their stimulation for the day as well as exercise. My clients house rules and animal requests are at most importance.

“Jessica was great! It was our first time using the site or getting a dog walker and she came to meet us and our dog earlier to put our mind at ease! She was super friendly and walked our dog right when we asked her to!”
