Dog Walking Athens

“Lucas has been great with our pup. He’s very attentive and has great communication. He checks in when he arrives and when he leaves, including lots of photos during his walk. Our dog, Oscar, is always worn out when we get home and you can tell he thoroughly enjoys his walks with Lucas!”

About: Your dog becomes part of the family the moment they arrive 🐾💛 I provide a safe, structured, and loving environment where every dog is cared for like my own. With over 4 years of hands on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, you can feel confident your dog is in capable and knowledgeable hands. As a certified dog trainer, I go beyond basic boarding by providing structure, guidance, and consistency throughout their stay. Whether it’s reinforcing commands, practicing leash manners, or simply maintaining a calm routine, your dog is always learning and thriving ✨🐶 I also have three personal dogs of my own ranging from 1 to 8 years old, so I truly understand the different needs, energy levels, and personalities that come with every stage of life 🐕🐕‍🦺🐾 My goal is to give your dog a comfortable, enriching, and stress free stay while giving you complete peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and well cared for Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I’m a stay-at-home mom and a part-time dog trainer who works out of my own home. I’m already home throughout the day, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and consistent care without long periods alone. My training background also means I understand dog behavior, routines, and safety, so your pet gets both loving care and structured supervision in a calm, home-based environment. When pets stay in my home, they become part of my daily routine and are treated like family. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, and time to relax. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule and any special instructions closely, including medications if needed. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to give them lots of attention, affection, and structure, while using my dog training experience to reinforce good behavior and keep interactions positive and safe.

“Super friendly & flexible! I was worried about finding someone capable of handling my crazy girl and she handled her like a champ. Such a relief! Will definitely book again!!”

About: I love all animals no matter what kind or size. Looking for anyway to be around animals more that can also help and benefit others. I have grown up with all kinds of animals big and small from dogs, cats, goats, guinea pigs and more. I have spent some weekend volunteering at animal shelter events and hope to do more stuff in that range. I work at a bank but am willing to animal sit immediately after work also on some holidays and weekends. I have no allergies or fear of any animal and am willing to sit for any breed or size. I have a medium size dog of my own who I love dearly, and she says I’m a great dog sitter too.

“Ananda did a great job with Nico. She was friendly and communicated very well. I appreciate her following the directions provided and taking care of Nico.”

About: I’m an animal care professional with a genuine love for pets and plenty of hands-on experience caring for animals. Through my work as a zookeeper, I’ve developed strong skills in understanding animal behavior, providing enrichment, following individual care routines, and making sure every animal feels safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love while you’re away! I am able to help during the days/evenings Sundays to Tuesdays and any other day after 5pm for taking out on walks, hanging out, administering any specific medical care, or anything you may need!

About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I’ve done my entire life. I’ve been pet sitting since I was a kid, and I’ve always been the person who notices the animals before anything else. Growing up, I was the kid who would walk into someone’s home and greet their pets before I even said hello to the people. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and have never been able to pass by an animal in need without wanting to help. That lifelong passion eventually became a career. I have 11 years of professional veterinary experience, giving me extensive hands-on experience caring for animals and understanding their behavior, needs, routines, and individual personalities. I’m also knowledgeable about many different species, so I’m comfortable caring for a wide variety of animals. More Than a Sitter With my veterinary background and lifelong experience around animals, I bring a level of awareness and attentiveness that I believe makes a real difference. I’m observant, patient, and genuinely invested in the well-being of every animal entrusted to my care. Most importantly, I treat your pets like individuals—not just another booking. When you’re away, you shouldn’t have to worry about whether your pets are being loved, cared for, and understood. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, experienced hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your babies and give them the kind of care they deserve. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule, and am willing to work with you. As of the moment, I am mostly free and able to work any day of the week. Your Pet, Your Rules ❤️ I understand that every pet—and every pet parent—is different. You know your baby best, and I will respectfully follow your instructions, routines, preferences, and expectations for their care. Whether your pet needs a specific feeding schedule, extra patience, medication, a certain walking routine, or simply lots of love and companionship, I’ll make sure their care is tailored to them. My goal is never to simply “watch” your pet. I want them to have such a positive experience that their time away from you feels more like a vacation than a separation.

About: I love pets! I will make sure your pet is well taken of and loved while you are away from your home! I have taken care of a few different pets! I have a busy schedule, but I can make accommodations as needed :) I’m mainly available on Mondays and Thursdays and during the evenings anytime. I make sure your pet is fed and well loved. I will walk your pet 2-3 times a day. I also will spend lots of time with your pet, so that they don’t feel alone.

About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been caring for dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets gave me a natural love for animals, and over the years I’ve helped care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, administering medications, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give every animal. I treat every pet like family and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether that means long walks, playing fetch, or simply keeping them company in their home. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I wait to begin my career as an Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant in late August. Because of this, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My flexible availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and last-minute scheduling needs whenever possible. I love staying active, so spending time outdoors walking and caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy during this transition period before starting work. Providing a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for pets is my top priority. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I always strive to create a calm, dependable, and comfortable experience for both pets and owners. I live in a pet-friendly environment with plenty of safe areas for walks and outdoor time, and I carefully follow each owner’s home instructions regarding routines, medications, feeding schedules, and special needs. I’m attentive, responsible, and communicative, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾

About: I’ve had a deep love for dogs my entire life, growing up with golden retrievers and labs who taught me the joy of the human-dog bond. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds - from German shepherds and pitbulls to shih tzus and Yorkies - and I’ve loved discovering each breed’s unique personality and temperament. What I cherish most is forming genuine connections with every dog I meet. I get as much from these interactions as the dogs do, and that mutual trust and affection is what makes pet care so rewarding for me. I’m experienced with e-collar training, standard obedience, and reinforcing whatever training methods you use at home. I’m equally comfortable caring for energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs, adapting my approach to each dog’s specific needs. I’m confident administering medications and following any feeding or routine schedule precisely. Whether walking through busy urban streets, quiet neighborhoods, or parks with other dogs around, I prioritize safety while ensuring your pup gets the exercise and stimulation they need. Most importantly, I treat every dog in my care like family - because to me, they are. I work from home doing freelance/contract work, which gives me the flexibility to build my schedule around pet care. Since I set my own hours, I can easily accommodate walks, drop-ins, and house sitting without the constraints of a traditional 9-5 job. This setup is ideal for dogs because I can provide midday attention when most people are stuck at the office. Whether your pup needs a lunch-time walk, consistent daily visits, or someone reliable for last-minute bookings, my flexible schedule makes it work. I’m available most days throughout the week, and I can adjust my work hours to match your dog’s routine. For house sitting, I’m able to stay overnight and be present throughout the day, which means your dog gets plenty of company and isn’t left alone for long stretches. Basically, my work adapts to pet care - not the other way around. House Sitting: When staying at your home, I maintain your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. My day typically includes morning walks or playtime, midday exercise and mental stimulation, and evening walks before bed. Throughout the day, I provide companionship, follow your feeding schedule precisely, and administer any medications as directed. I’ll also handle basic tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping your home secure. I send regular photo updates so you know your pup is happy and well-cared for. Drop-In Visits: I’ll come by at scheduled times to feed your dog, provide fresh water, and give them a potty break and some quality attention. Each visit includes playtime or a brief walk depending on your dog’s needs and energy level. I’ll also tidy up any messes, ensure they’re comfortable, and send you a quick update with photos so you have peace of mind while you’re away. Dog Walking: I tailor each walk to your dog’s age, energy level, and training. Whether it’s a leisurely neighborhood stroll or a more vigorous park session, I focus on both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I’m attentive to their behavior around other dogs and people, and I always prioritize safety while making sure they have a great time.

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was 8. I love caring for them. Always have my eye on them as I love making them feel at home and safe. It fits into my weekly routine as I’m always sitting at home. Having a lot of free time, I chose to take care of dogs as that is something I love. I have a fenced back yard with lots of space to run and go potty. My house is pet friendly meaning they can climb on anything or lay on anything.

About: I grow up with dogs and experience in foster care for feline. I currently have one 9yr old brown tabby. I am good with animals of all age ranges. Preferably more adult and senior (I have a soft spot for them) :) I can help with pet sittings, dog walking, potentially cat boarding. I’m currently working full time Monday to Friday. I am most available for the weekend (all day) or evenings help from Monday to Sunday. With my experiences with dogs and cats. I am comfortable with the daily routines of walking, feeding time, grooming, and anything you would need me to help with your fur baby!

About: I’ve had pets nearly my whole life and have been known to struggle to walk past an animal in need. This means rescuing an injured squirrel, a Cooper’s hawk, an opossum, and more, going the extra mile even when it was deeply inconvenient for me to do so. I also grew up attending zoo camp and then volunteering at a zoo from age 5 to 14, caring for a wide range of animals. I have worked with high energy pitties, a blind and anxious German shepherd, birds, cuddly kitties, fearful kitties, diabetic kitties, rabbits, and others. I have administered shots, IVs, medications, eye drops, and more. I am persistent and typically can win over even the shyest and most anxious fur baby. I have a genuine love for caring for pets and would be honored to care for yours! I am currently carefully thinking about my next full time role and working part time. My partner is an immigrant seeking employment during a time when that is extremely difficult due to the political situation. Any supplemental income is incredibly helpful for me as we navigate. I have a reliable vehicle, plenty of time to play with your pets, and love to love on them. I have a reliable car and I keep my word. I am communicative, honest, and truly love animals. I take direction well and understand that every pet has their specific needs. I don’t cut corners and do my best to provide top notch care, always.

About: Hey there! I’m Allie. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your fur-babies, and my goal is to help both you and your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I always recommend a meet and greet so we can get acquainted and make sure I’m the perfect fit for your pets. I like to take the time to sit down, get to know both you and your pets, and answer any questions you may have. I moved to North Carolina from Virginia in 2019 when my husband’s military service brought us here. Since then, I’ve been pet sitting full time while completing my college studies. At home, we share our lives with our dog and two cats, who inspire me every day to provide loving, dependable care for all pets. I’ve spent my life around animals and have worked professionally in nearly every area of pet care, including animal hospitals, boarding facilities, grooming salons, and in-home pet sitting. These experiences allow me to confidently care for pets of all ages and temperaments, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets. Including administering medications and providing extra support for pets with medical or behavioral needs. I’ve had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of animals, from dogs and cats to hamsters, bunnies, reptiles, chickens, goats, and horses. If I haven’t worked with a species yet, I’m always eager to learn. No two animals are alike, and I love discovering what makes each one special so I can provide care tailored to their personality and needs. I am very flexible and able to provide your pets lots of quality time. 30 Minute Drop in: This is a quick visit to check in on your pet. I’ll let them out for a potty break, refresh food and water, give any needed meds or treats, and spend time playing or cuddling. I’ll send you photos and updates along the way. Perfect for a midday break or some company while you’re away. Overnight Stay: Your pet will have company and care throughout the night. I’ll follow your evening routine with dinner, a potty break, any meds, playtime, then stay overnight for supervision and comfort. In the morning, I’ll handle breakfast, another potty break, and fresh water, while keeping you updated with photos and messages. Light home care, like checking mail or plants, can also be included. Ideal for pets who need extra comfort and prefer staying in their own home. When caring for others pets I treat them as my own. Whatever your pet needs, I'll happily accommodate them to the best of my ability. I always triple check doors are locked when I leave, and that there is nothing in reach that could be harmful to your pets. (human food, dog treats, toys etc)
