Dog Walkers in Athens, TX

About: I’ve been pet sitting for the almost 7 years. My husband-who also works with me- has been taking care and sitting pets for the last 12 years. We have a beautiful, and energetic kelpie mix named Biscuit, and British shorthair named Eggs. Health and safety are a main priority to both of us. We like to make sure that all dogs in our care are well hydrated, and that no dog is in a situation that makes them nervous. We always make sure to provide the best care for each individual, because this isn’t just an animal, it’s a member of your family, and we know that you would want the best care for your family like we would. Currently I work part time. I am able to look after your wonderful pets full time all days of the week if given a 7 days notice of when services are needed. By ensuring that all equipment is properly secured with taking walks or engaging outdoors with environment or other animals, and that any messes are cleaned, whether it be on the animal or the places they are staying in.

“I can't say enough good things about Grace Ann! She faced parking issues, last minute schedule changes and bad weather, but came through for me and did a great job! Luna loved her and was a very happy puppy! Grace Ann really went above and beyond!”

About: My journey with pets began at the age of 8 when I welcomed my first furbaby, Fifi, a miniature schnauzer, into my life. Over the past 13 years, she's been my constant companion, now a cherished senior at 13. A dozen years later, I welcomed Letty, an energetic American bully, into our family. Letty's love for play contrasts beautifully with Fifi's penchant for sleep, offering the best of both worlds. My experience extends beyond pet ownership; having worked at an animal clinic, I'm adept at a range of caregiving tasks from cleaning and feeding to administering medication, injections, and grooming needs like nail clipping and anal gland care. I currently work for Amazon in the HR department, I work 4 days out of the week (SUN-WED) from 6:30am to 5:00pm. I am flexible so please let me know what is needed so we could work something out. I offer pet sitting services with a fenced yard and two furry companions to keep your pets company. I am flexible and can accommodate any special needs your pets may have. Prior to their stay, I request a list of your pet's likes and dislikes to ensure their comfort. Additionally, I prioritize exercise, provide nail trims if necessary, and ensure they always have access to water and a comfortable environment. I use to work in an animal clinic for 2 years so if any medication is needed to be given or injections, I am more than happy to do it. Your pet's well-being is my top priority.

About: Most of my experience comes from dog-sitting and I have dog sat different ages and breeds! Dogs are such lovable companions and I love taking care of someone’s best friend. Nothing in the world means more to me than a pet’s care and happiness and it definitely shows with who an animal is with! I aspire to be someone your companion(s) Trust and are comfortable with being around! I also wouldn’t mind watering plants if needed 😊 Pet care would be my entire week because I would be doing this full time! Weeks, weekends and sometimes holidays will definitely work for me. I know how it feels to have to trust someone with your baby or babies and the anxiety of if they’re in good hands. My goal is to give you the confidence that they are in the best care and your home is better than you left it!

About: I've had a dog since I was in 3rd grade. I have had a connection with dogs ever since. I think they are great animals and great companions. I like each individual dog's personality because they are all different. We homeschool our kids and take care of our three dogs on a daily basis. They get two walks a day (the dogs and kids 🤣) We do not have a fenced yard, however, our dogs go out numerous times a day with our supervision to run around and play. We take them on a minimum of 2 walks a day. We have older kids in the house who love dogs as well. We treat our dogs like our kids and will do the same for your fur baby.

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life! As an adult I currently have 5 dogs of my own and 7 cats (mostly barn cats with extreme spoiling). I also run a full on farm with all the animals and have two kiddos I homeschool along with a friends kid. I have an extreme passion for animals and pay close attention to detail so I will notice if anything seems off with your furry family members! I am a homeschool and stay at home mom who farms. My schedule is typically open and can easily be changed to fit needs of those awesome critters! I will make sure that if they are kenneled they get adequate time outside of it and that it is clean prior to putting them up. I will also make sure all the food and water dishes are full or left as you instruct them to be.

About: While I too enjoy traveling I know how it can be when you can’t take your 4 legged family member(s) with you. I have 2 of my own Lionhead )fluff ball) bunnies of my own. I love fur babies of all breeds, shapes and sizes. While I don't have a dog or cat due to my hubbies allergies. I do love them all. Most of my friends or family have dog(s)/cat(s) and they all seem to love me and want my attention when I visit family and friends. When I 1st moved to Dallas my friend needed someone to let her dog out a couple times of day due to her long work hours. I was there to let Jackie out to potty and socialize. I became his Auntie Robin. Now every time I go to visit my friend he thinks I'm there for him and walk and play time. Of course I do this as he is so loveable I'm happy to go for a walk and play with my fur friend while visiting with my friend. I recently cared for my neighbors large and small dogs, 2 cats and a bird on a last minute need while they went away for the holiday weekend. I did home visit twice a day as requested. I would spend 30-45 minutes at the home as the owners requested. The dogs knew me & I was like family. They were happy to see me. I feed them, played with them, let them out to potty and gave appropriate treats for good behavior. My last day they dogs laid on top of me like I was their family. The dogs also listened to me when it was time to kennel them even though they didn't want to go in they did. I currently volunteer for the past 12 years with a domestic rabbit rescue. I go out to the rescue when I can to help, feed, care for special needs bunnies, clean up them yard/x-pens where the bunnies are housed. I give medication when needed. Including medication by means of oral, drops and shots. Including helping with the rescue I also foster bunnies in my home in addition to my 2 fur babies of lionhead bunnies. One of which can be seen in my pictures. Pet sitting/house sitting is my primary job. I enjoy spoiling my pets along with my clients pets. This makes my clients able to enjoy holiday or work trips without worry. As I make sure to treat the clients pet like my own and give lots of love and care like their human. Every pet not matter if my pet, friends, family or a client is an important part of my life when I’m with them. I make sure they know I’m there for them and I will love and care for them at all times.
