Dog Walking Athens

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: I’ve lived with animals all my life and have always had dogs and cats in my home, so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with pets of all ages, including playful puppies and senior pets who need extra care and comfort. I focus on making every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for, while keeping owners updated and reassured. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, including walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins. I’m able to adjust my routine to match each pet’s needs and keep things as close to their normal schedule as possible I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust in every home. I follow all care instructions closely, keep a calm and clean environment, and make sure pets are always supervised and secure. I respect each client’s home as if it were my own and focus on making pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for with lots of attention and gentle handling.

“Would highly recommend!”

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 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.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was about 10, I’m 21 now. My major is Pre-Veterinary because I’ve had a love for animals and dream of being a vet since I was 7. I have a cat of my own, Luna, and she’s my world. I treat her like a baby so I would love to share the same love to your fur babies! I work full-time as a manager at Walmart, and I’m a full time college student (online). I’m pretty fair and understanding with scheduling, as long as you reach out in advance. If my schedule doesn’t fit for you, I do not mind adjusting to accommodate you and your fur babies! I also don’t have an issue with last minute planning, just be mindful of scheduling issues or certain questions I asks in regards of the service you’ve requested! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I also monitor their behavior to make sure they are happy, healthy, and not feeling stressed while their owner is away. As well as in a clients home, I respect your space and specific instructions on pet care! Ensuring your pets and home’s safety is never an issue.

“Aleisa is wonderful with our aging Lab, we use her services whenever we go out of town!”

About: Hey! My name is Stefanie and I have been taking care of animals for almost my entire life. I have experience with both cats and dogs and would love to watch your pets for you. I hold myself to the same standards that I would expect from my own pet sitters. I can handle animals of all shapes and sizes, even your giant breeds! I have experience in the veterinary field and have cared for pets with all types of dietary restrictions, medical needs, and temperaments - so if your pet needs some special attention, I'm your gal! I have had dogs for almost my entire life. As a child my family had a Lhasa Apso, and he lived a long and happy life with us. I have had pets of my own since 2014, and all my pups are seniors now - they have a special place in my heart! I also have two sweet young cats and would love to check on your feline kiddos. I am a full time mother so I am readily available for drop in visits, overnights, and walks. Please note that my infant son will be with me during all visits. I will of course assume responsibility for my kiddo being safe around your pets, but please be mindful of your pets' temperament with children when booking! My ideal scenario when caring for your pets is to adopt their current routine - I find that keeps them the happiest while their people are away. I'm happy to visit on whatever schedule is best for you, and I'm happy to do overnights as needed.

About: As a child, my siblings and I raised dogs and cats at our country house. Therein, I spent a large portion of my childhood with animals, where I learned to respect them and appreciate how unique and loveable they can be. I am working part-time, which gives me plenty of time to either check in on your pets, walk them, or spend time with them. I love cats and dogs equally. I have three dogs at home, two of them are big dogs and one of them is small. The first two I mentioned, were rescued as puppies-and so I have a deep appreciation for all types of dogs and cats, despite their pasts. I also have a history with cats, the number of them I cannot say, but I love taking care of them too.

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.

About: I have worked consistently with a couple families and several drop in services for family friends! I have taken the wonderful doggos on walks, assisted with their medications, fed them, provided baths/brushed their fur, gave them extra pets/hugs. I can provide basic animal care, I always do my best to observe their body language as well to make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I have also helped with a special needs doggo who was blind, gave him his medicine, guided him through his backyard to use the restroom, etc. I would also love to provide any cleaning such as cleaning their bowls, vacuuming up any hair, cleaning crates, etc. I work 24 hours on/ 48 hours off at a time so I have a bit more free time and would love to be a helping companion to your sweet animals! I always listen to the let parents and how their schedule typically is and go off of that, I really do love animals so I’ll spend more time playing with them, especially if the doggo wants that play time and extra love!

About: I’ve been a pet sitter for 10 years and a trusted member of Rover for 8. I absolutely love all dogs, cats, or any little creature. Animals are my passion and I don’t intimidate easily nor would I ever allow a pet to be mistreated! When watching each pet I take care of them like I would take care of my own family member and worry about them like they are my own child. I truly love them because they are just innocent babies. This will all be taken care of before the visit. Every pet and family are different and I’ve found that a schedule is custom to every visit. In a client's home, I strive to maintain the pet's usual routine to minimize stress. This includes following specific feeding schedules, walking routes, and any medication regimens precisely as instructed. I also make sure to keep the home tidy and secure, respecting the space while ensuring the pet's comfort and safety. I prioritize open communication with pet owners, providing updates and photos to reassure them that their beloved pet is in good hands. This customized care ensures that every pet receives the attention and love they deserve, regardless of the setting.

About: They will get a lot of love and they will see the joyful heart in there pet and they will see the difference in there behavior the only pet care I have had was my own and with friends and family most animals are like kids a little attention and a lot of love and getting their bellies full they usually are happy and content really not much more to say but they will be happy every one gets a long with everyone here and I will learn their ways and they will learn the do and the don'ts like I said before they are like kids they know good from bad they get a hold of a bad bay sitter they act out just like a kid would

About: I’ve owned a Labrador for 17 years and have been taking care of dogs the last 8 years. I’ve been entrusted to walk, feed, play, & groom pets of friends and neighbors, and Lola got along with all of them. Keeping them on a routine was fine. I was able to teach Lola many commands using verbal and hand gestures. Discipline and routine is something I enforce so that the pups don’t get restless energy with new changes.❤️ Lola has recently passed away, so my availability has opened much more. I am a personal chef and build my own schedule. I recently moved back to Corsicana area and am happy to meet new pets & clients. I make sure to be on time and keeping the dog in routine and discipline that has been established by you and yours. I can crate your pet. I can cuddle with them too! I’m a super affectionate care taker.

About: I'm a lover of all animals, willing to accommodate special hours or instructions, if medications are needed I'm comfortable doing that as well. Have been pet sitting for 10+ years and have yet to meet a dog/pet I don't adore? I'm willing to work with anyone's pet and meet them beforehand to make sure they feel comfortable with me. A pet should always come first so I would want to make sure I can accommodate their needs. I'm a firm believer in in also having a healthy relationship with pet parents and most certainly encourage any questions to make sure your pet and I both be comfortable each other before accepting any job. Please feel free to contact me, I'll answer any questions about myself and background as well as provide references. I am currently a part-time student so my schedule can work around yours. I set my school hours accordingly, therefore it doesn't interfere with the care of your pet. Patience goes a long way when it comes to establishing a connection with a pet. Pets are attached to their owners and some can become sensitive or withdrawn to new people. It's up to me to form a bond with all pets. Most pets I have come across form relationships easily, however there are cases where pets may come with a past. Such as being rescues whose previous owners didn't treat them well . In such cases lots of love, attention and patience would be given on my part to ensure that your pet feels safe.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life. From large breeds such as Great Pyrenees, to small but mighty dogs like Chihuahua's and Jack Russells. I've helped in training our German Shepherd through his fear based reactivity, and raised a Labrador puppy all on my own. I specialize in using positive training, so I don't mind if your dog doesn't have the best leash manners. I may be small in stature, but I can handle large dogs too! I am not currently employed outside of Rover, so i am available almost 24/7. I love dogs and want to spend as much time with them as possible! I have three crazy, hyper, but smart dogs who love to play fetch and tug! They all have been trained using positive training methods, and all of them are lovers.
