Dog Walking Bowdon

About: Hi, I'm Donna - caring for animals has been part of my life since childhood. I grew up on a dairy farm, learning responsibility, patience, and hands on animal care from a young age. I understand that every animal has different needs, routines ,and personalities. At Simple Life Pet Care, your pets are treated like family—because that’s exactly what they are. I treat each one with kindness, respect, and patience. I also have been a nurse for the past 15 years, bringing professionalism, dependability, and attention to detail into everything I do. Now, I'm excited to start my own business doing something I’m truly passionate about, caring for animals. Caring for animals of all sizes has always been part of my everyday life. From energetic puppies and curious kittens, to large and small dogs, farm animals, and small pets like rabbits, hamsters, and gerbils. —I provide calm, consistent, and loving care you can trust. I provide pet care as part of my regular weekly routine, which allows me to give each pet calm, consistent, and attentive care. As I’m starting part-time, I intentionally keep my schedule manageable so every visit gets my full attention—not rushed or overbooked. I currently care for my own black lab Hank and I’m very mindful about keeping a secure and structured environment. All outdoor time is supervised—I always use a leash for potty breaks and walks to ensure safety. My daily routine also includes caring for my cat, Snickerdoodle and my chihuahua, Princess. My specialties are drop ins and walks, so I will take great care of your pets.

About: I have owned dogs and cats my whole life. I have had my dog since turning 18. She loves all animals just as I do. My cat, I’ve had for 3 years, and he can be more tentative but the layout of my house allows him to be separated if necessary. I’m currently in grad school and working part-time as a gymnastics coach so that gives me all day to hang with your pets! I wake up around 7am each day and walk my dog (yours will join us). When we get back inside everyone gets breakfast. I let everyone outside once more before heading to work, though it can be more often if needed. When I get home around 8pm I take the dogs out to walk again and then feed them dinner. After cuddling up in the couch to wind down, everyone will go out one more time and get ready for bed. If you prefer your dog be fed before I head to work, that can of course be arranged. I feed and walk the dogs twice or three times daily. The dog will also be allowed on furniture, if the owner is okay with that. The evening will consist of endless belly rubs and cuddles as I wind down after work. At night animals are crated to allow for a peaceful night.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover who has not been without at least one pet my entire life. Currently I have 4 dogs of my own, from a senior 5 pound chihuahua to a 60 pound pit bull mix. I am a former doggie foster parent who cared for dogs coming directly from a county animal shelter. I have completed obedience and training classes with multiple of my own dogs over the years. I have been a client of Bowdon Animal Hospital for over 25 years. I have cared for hospice animals, animals with anxiety issues and animals with medical needs. In addition to dogs, I have experience with cats, fish, lizards, chickens, turtles and even goats! My pets are my kids and I will treat yours the same way. I am a 52 year old retired social worker. I have a very flexible schedule both weekdays and weekends. My spouse works from home so my own dogs and fish are well taken care of while I care for your babies. Being retired allows me to spend quality time with your pets, getting to know them and how to best care for them. I am meticulous about ensuring any medication is taken correctly and owners instructions for their pets are followed, just as I would want for my own. Our family enjoys hiking, so I am very familiar with ensuring large and small dogs are safe on a leash.

About: Looking for a responsible, pet-savvy animal lover to keep an eye on your pet while you are away or to visit during the day for play, enrichment and walkies? We are proud parents to a clan of furred and feathered friends and won't turn you down because of size or breed of your pup! The bigger the better in our world. :-) As a member of the Douglas County Humane Society, you know your pet will receive only the most loving and highest quality care. Our pack over the years has included Doberman, Wolf Hounds, Shih Tzus and a variety of mixes. We currently have three rescue pups: a Shar-Pei/AmStaff mix, a Great Pyrenees/Boxer mix and a GSD. All exceed 70lbs, so size or mix is never an issue with us. We also are home to an African Gray, Orange Wing Amazon and Senegal parrots, and two attitudinal cats. We have deep experience caring for parrots, as well as your furred friends. You can expect your pets to receive love, walks, scratches and play because we will treat your kids the way we treat ours (and they are our kids...we don't have human ones)! We offer a full package when we come for dogwalks, pet sitting or other visits. We are completely transparent and will use technology to ensure you get to see as much of your furred or feathered friend as you would like. Visits include: Feed & change water, treats Potty break/exercise Litter box scoop, change and pickup after pets Playtime/TLC/Cuddles/Walks Administer medicine per veterinary instruction, if needed Cover/Uncover parrots Photos/Video/Streaming COVID-19 Precautions, including masks and hand sanitizer Mid-Day Visits/Walks: Potty break Walk/exercise Puppy visits Play/TLC COVID-19 Precautions, including masks and hand sanitizer Go and do what you need to do and have the peace of mind that your kiddos are in good hands. I own my business and work at home, so it's great to get out and visit with my pet clients throughout the day. Not only do I get a break, but your pets do, too. It's a win-win in my book. :-) As an owner of all rescue animals, some of which have anxiety or other concerns, safety is my top concern when I visit your home and care for your pets. I am a firm believer that the human should take every precaution to set up the pet for success: lock doors, close doors, ensure pets are secure. Next is enrichment and happiness - and I do my best to know what your pet loves. Is it throwing the ball? Is your furry friend a coach potato and just looking for a walk outside and then some scratches? Does kitty like to play or hide under the bed? The more I know about your pet, the better.

“She was lovely and had a really open schedule. Sent me pictures of my dog while in the walk!! Kept me updated. Will definitely be using again.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life; personally, have owned Corgis, Labs, Pitbulls, short and long hair cats, snakes, and rabbits! I love cats and dogs of all breeds/energy levels. I have experience working with pets that are nervous around new people or other animals. I can do drop ins/walks as often as you need. I think it is important that our furry friends get to relieve stress on their walks or have a friend to just hang out with, so they won't ever feel left alone. Your fur babies will be treated and taken care of as if they were my own; I look forward to hanging out with your little and/or big ones. 💌 I typically work 3 night shifts a week as a nurse, so have a lot of flexibility with my availability on my days off from work. I'll be happy to accommodate and work with the times you need me. We all have preferences and routines for our fur babies and so I will happily keep to your instructions as best I can. I will walk your dogs as well as play and snuggle. I will love on them and treat them as my own. Each visit will be filled with devotion, TLC, and never rushed.

“Dylan provided 5 Star service! I was able to rest easy knowing Charlie was in good hands. Dylan clearly loves animals which makes him a perfect match for this job. Loved the pics and updates. Will definitely be calling on Dylan in the future!”

About: I have over 5 years of professional animal care experience and well over 10 in personal animal care experience ranging from raising and training litters of puppies to assisting with horses. I have had animals all my life and was raised to put their care before my own. For the last 5 years I have worked in vet clinics while in school at UGA pursuing a degree in animal biological sciences. While working in those vet clinics I have worked as both a boarder and a vet tech at a fear free clinic dealing with both calm and more aggressive animals. My duties in these positions were watering, feeding, walking, and administering medication for pets ranging from 6 months old to elderly. I am very well versed in all types of animals and am happy to answer any questions you may have for me! I am a teacher and am entering summer break so I have all the time in the world to care for your pets! While I cannot house sit due to having a dog of my own I am more than happy to take time to visit your fur baby when necessary while my dog plays with my family pets at home! I provide a safe, calm, and reliable experience for pets during walks and drop-in visits. I treat every pet like my own and follow all my clients instructions carefully to keep pets comfortable, happy, and safe. Safety is very important to me, so I always use secure leash practices, pay close attention to my surrounding during walks, and make sure doors and gates are secure before leaving. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners are sure their pets are in good hands.

I’m responsible and mature with 20 years of experience taking care of various animals; cats, dogs, horses, goats, human children and more. I treat them all like I do my own babies; lots of love, respect and training. I am confident and experienced when it comes to puppy and senior dog care; including administering various medications. I’m currently home full-time which allows me to focus my attention on the fur babies and provides for plenty of playtime, walks and car rides to the local dog park (only if mom/dad approve). Don’t worry while you’re away, I’ll send updates and photos!!

About: I work in vet med. I've been around animals my whole life. I've worked with the sweetest Goldens, to land shark puppies and the noisy beagles and I enjoy every bit of it. I currently go to college at the university of west Georgia so I have a lot of free time other than that, school if my number one priority. During breaks I go to Florida and work as a Veterinary technician and I wouldn't change it for the world. Because I live on campus I won't have pets at my house but because I've had pets I understand depending on the dog or cat everything can become a toy or eaten. So I try to keep everything out of reach that would avoid a vet visit. I'll be outside with your dog at all times just incase you have an escape artist or to prevent injuries. Plus outside it the best place to play and get off the energy out. When it comes to walks I'm open on taking long or short walks I'm athletic and don't mind a good walk.

“Timely and kind”
