Dog Walking Brooks

About: I have taken care of animals of all sorts since I was a teenager. Dogs, cats, Rabbits, and goats and the list goes on. With my ten years of experience I have gotten to love and care for so many animals. I strive to provide the best care for all animals. I currently have a lot of free time and want to utilize that free time to play or entertain your pets. I am available most days of the week and weekends. I always pay close attention to your pups as if they are my own. I have two dogs at home, and a cat. I can walk your dog as much as they need and make sure they are getting optimal care.

About: 🐾 Loving & Flexible Pet Care 🐾 Hi! I’m Rachel, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for over 25 years. I have 53 reviews and a 5-star rating on Rover, along with years of additional hands-on experience through pet sitting, animal rescue, fostering, and volunteering in a veterinary setting. If you read through my previous reviews, you’ll notice many clients mention the same things: frequent pictures and updates, great communication, how comfortable their pets became with me, and the peace of mind they had while they were away. I’ve cared for everything from one pet needing lots of individual attention to a household of five fur babies for an entire week. Several clients have even said their pets missed me after they came home, which may be one of my favorite compliments! ❤️ 🐶 Individualized Care You may notice that my Rover availability allows me to care for multiple pets at a time. However, that does NOT mean I automatically accept multiple unrelated pets together. Before accepting a booking, I talk with each owner about their pet’s personality, routine, behavior, and individual needs. If your dog needs to be the only animal in my home, please let me know. As long as I don’t already have another booking that conflicts with that need, I’m happy to accommodate an individual stay. The same applies to pets who need separation from other animals, a quieter environment, their own space, or additional management. My years of rescue and fostering have taught me that not every dog needs or wants to socialize with other animals, and that’s completely okay. Good pet care is about creating the environment where your particular pet feels safe and comfortable. Through fostering and rescue, I’ve accumulated supplies such as dog gates and other equipment that allow me to safely create separate areas when necessary. Because I own my home, I also have the flexibility to designate a room or area specifically for your pet. I have cameras available to monitor pets when appropriate as well. Tell me what your pet needs. I’ll always be honest about whether I can accommodate it safely and comfortably. 🏡 Boarding in My Home I own my home in Griffin and have a large, fully fenced yard, giving dogs plenty of room for potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and fresh air. I enjoy providing enrichment based on each dog’s personality and energy level. This can include: • Treat puzzles and enrichment toys • Interactive games • Outdoor playtime • Walks and sniffing activities • One-on-one attention • Plenty of cuddles and quiet time Some dogs want to play and stay busy. Others would much rather curl up beside someone and relax. I’m happy with both! My goal isn’t to completely change your pet’s routine just because you’re traveling. I want to learn what they normally do at home and make their stay as familiar, comfortable, and enjoyable as possible. I’m currently taking a break from fostering so I have more flexibility for my Rover clients, and I do not currently have pets of my own living in my home. 🏠 House Sitting When I provide house sitting, I take the responsibility for your home just as seriously as I take the responsibility for your pets. Previous Rover clients have specifically mentioned returning from vacation to a clean home and appreciated that I kept them informed about both their pets and their house while they were away. I also have professional house-cleaning experience, so I make it a priority to leave your home the same as, or better than, I found it. While you’re away, I’m happy to: • Bring in mail and packages • Take your garbage can to the street on trash day and bring it back • Follow your household instructions • Keep an eye on your home and property • Notify you if I notice anything unusual • Keep things clean and organized I’ve also experienced firsthand why having an attentive person staying in your home can matter. During one previous house-sitting stay, a tree limb unexpectedly fell onto the house. Thankfully, there wasn’t significant damage, but I immediately notified the homeowner, checked the home for damage, and made sure everything was secure. If I notice something concerning or unusual while you’re away, you’ll hear from me. My goal is for your household to continue running as smoothly as possible so you can enjoy your trip without worrying about what’s happening back home. 📸 Communication & Updates One of the most consistent compliments throughout my Rover reviews is communication. You’ll receive pictures and updates while you’re away because I know how reassuring it is to actually see that your pet is happy and doing well. I’ve sent daily pictures and videos to owners traveling in another country, reassured people leaving their dog for the first time, cared for pets who became stressed while their owners were away, and kept owners informed throughout their trips. You shouldn’t have to spend your vacation wondering, “Are they okay?” I want you to be able to look at your phone, see that sweet face, know everything is okay, and get back to enjoying your time away. 🐕 Rescue, Foster & Veterinary Experience In addition to my years of pet sitting, I’ve spent significant time involved in animal rescue and fostering. I’ve cared for dogs and cats with many different personalities, backgrounds, energy levels, and needs. I’ve also volunteered in a veterinary setting, gaining hands-on experience with animal handling, restraint, vaccines, and spay/neuter care. That experience has given me a particular appreciation for animals who may need patience, structure, decompression, separation, or a little extra understanding. 🔒 Safety, Trust & Environment Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are always a priority. My home provides a clean, pet-friendly environment with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. Dogs are supervised during outdoor breaks and are not left outside unattended. Inside, I can use gates and separate areas when needed based on each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort with other animals. I carefully manage introductions between pets and only allow interaction when it’s safe and appropriate for everyone involved. If your pet prefers to be alone, needs separation, or is more comfortable in a quiet space, please tell me. I also pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, bathroom habits, and overall well-being throughout a stay. If something seems out of the ordinary, I’ll communicate with you. 🕐 My Work Schedule & Midday Potty Breaks I currently work outside of Rover in Griffin, but my schedule is very predictable. My shifts are either: 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM or 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM I’m normally off Thursdays and Sundays. An important thing for pet parents to know is that I consistently leave work at my scheduled time. My current job doesn’t typically require me to stay late, which allows me to reliably plan your pet’s care around my schedule. For pets boarding in my home, I provide potty breaks, feeding, and attention before leaving for work and again as soon as I return. If your dog needs a midday potty break, I also have a lunch break and can come home to let them outside before returning to work. I may be able to provide the same midday break when I’m house sitting in your home, depending on your location. I live and work in Griffin and generally house sit within approximately a 15-mile radius of my workplace. If you live close enough for me to get to your home, care for your pet, and return to work during my lunch break, I’m happy to arrange that. If your pet can’t comfortably go the length of my workday without a potty break, please don’t automatically assume I can’t care for them. Tell me what they need first! Between my lunch break, days off, your location, and other arrangements, we may be able to create a schedule that works perfectly. 🚐 Transportation, Vet & Grooming Appointments I also own a rescue van that I purchased for transporting animals, so I’m completely comfortable having dogs ride with me. This gives me additional flexibility when caring for your pet, especially during longer stays. With your permission and when appropriate, I may be able to help with: • Vet appointments • Grooming appointments • Approved outings • Trips to a dog park if that is something your dog already enjoys and you specifically request it • Other transportation needs we discuss in advance If your pet has a veterinary or grooming appointment that can be scheduled on one of my days off, I’m happy to discuss taking them to and from the appointment while you’re away. I will never take your pet somewhere without your knowledge and permission. Safety in the vehicle is important to me. I have dog seat belt attachments that connect to a properly fitted harness, and I also have several different sizes of crates that can be secured in my van when crated transportation is the safer or more comfortable option. Please tell me how your dog normally rides in a vehicle, whether they’re comfortable in a crate, and whether they have any car anxiety or motion sickness. We can decide together what is safest and most comfortable for them. 🤝 Meet & Greets Whenever possible, I prefer doing a meet & greet before the first booking. For house sitting or drop-in care, I’m happy to come to your home so I can meet you and your pet where they’re most comfortable. You can show me their normal routine, feeding and potty schedule, medications or special instructions, where everything is located, and all those little things about your pet that are important for me to know. It also gives your pet an opportunity to meet me while you’re still there. For boarding in my home, you’re welcome to bring your dog to my house for a meet & greet before the stay. You can see where they’ll be staying, check out the fenced yard, ask questions, discuss any special accommodations, and make sure you’re comfortable with the environment before booking. A meet & greet isn’t just for me to determine whether we’re a good fit. It’s for you to decide too. I want you to feel completely comfortable with the person you’re trusting with your pet and, in many cases, your home. 📅 Flexible & Last-Minute Plans I understand that not everyone plans a trip months in advance! Some clients are spontaneous, and sometimes people contact me when they only have a general idea of when they may be traveling. That’s completely fine. Send me the dates you’re considering and tell me what you’re thinking. I’ll check my Rover bookings and work schedule and let you know what I can accommodate. My previous Rover clients have specifically mentioned my responsiveness and willingness to help with last-minute situations, so please don’t hesitate to ask. ❤️ Most Importantly Every animal is different. Some need exercise. Some need structure. Some need extra reassurance. Some need enrichment. Some need their own space. Some need separation from other animals. And some really just want someone to sit down so they can curl up beside them. Tell me about your pet. I’ll take the time to learn their routine, personality, likes and dislikes, feeding schedule, favorite activities, quirks, and what makes them feel secure. My goal is for you to leave knowing your pet isn’t simply being “watched.” They’re being cared for by someone who genuinely pays attention to them. After years of Rover clients trusting me with their pets and homes, and 53 reviews while maintaining a 5-star rating, I still take that responsibility just as seriously. I want your pets to be happy, your home to be cared for, and you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing everything back home is in experienced, attentive, and loving hands. ❤️🐾 MY WORK SCHEDULE AND POTTY BREAKS I currently work outside of Rover in Griffin, but my work schedule is very predictable. My shifts are either 8:30 AM–5:00 PM or 10:00 AM–6:30 PM, and I’m normally off Thursdays and Sundays. An important thing for pet parents to know is that I consistently leave work at my scheduled time. My current job does not typically require me to stay late, so I’m able to plan your pet’s care around a dependable schedule. For pets boarding in my home, I provide potty breaks, feeding, and attention before leaving for work and as soon as I return. If your pet needs a midday potty break, I also have a lunch break and can come home to let them out before returning to work. I may also be able to provide a midday potty break when house sitting in your home, depending on your location. I live and work in Griffin and generally house sit within approximately a 15-mile radius of my workplace. If your home is close enough for me to get there, care for your pet, and return to work during my lunch break, I’m happy to arrange that. Just let me know approximately where you live and what your pet’s normal schedule is. We can discuss exactly what I can provide before you book. If your pet cannot comfortably go the length of my workday without a potty break, please don’t automatically assume I can’t care for them. Tell me what they need first. Between my lunch break, days off, your location, and other arrangements, we may be able to create a schedule that works very well for your pet. SAFETY, TRUST & ENVIRONMENT Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are always my top priority. I provide a calm, structured, and secure environment where pets can relax, feel safe, and settle in comfortably while you’re away. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. Dogs are always supervised during outdoor breaks, and I never leave pets unattended outside. Inside the home, I use gates and separate areas when needed to ensure each pet has a safe, appropriate space based on their personality, energy level, and comfort with other animals. I carefully manage all introductions between pets and only allow interaction when it is safe and appropriate for everyone involved. If a pet prefers to be alone, needs separation, or is more comfortable in a quiet, low-traffic space, I can easily accommodate that. My goal is always to reduce stress and create a predictable, peaceful environment that builds trust. I closely monitor behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall well-being throughout each stay. Because of my background in rescue, fostering, and veterinary settings, I am experienced in recognizing early signs of stress, discomfort, or illness, and I will always communicate with you right away if anything seems out of the ordinary. I also maintain a clean and hygienic environment by regularly sanitizing pet areas, keeping fresh water available, and ensuring bedding and shared spaces are comfortable and well cared for. Safety is built into every part of my routine, including secure leash handling during walks, careful door management to prevent escapes, and constant awareness during all transitions in and out of the home. In addition, I have experience caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including those who require extra patience, structure, or a low-stimulation environment. I adjust my care style to match what helps your pet feel most secure and supported. If your pet has any specific safety needs, triggers, routines, or comfort preferences, I encourage you to share them with me. I will always do my best to create an environment that supports their well-being and gives you complete peace of mind while you’re away.

Taking him to new places is super important so he is socialized, new smells and being active.

I care for pets based off of the clients instructions, I normally pet sit at the clients home. I would normally feed in the morning at the time the pets are use to and take them out to potty and then just hang out throughout the day or do drop ins until I feed them at night and let them out again. Based on the client I also stay the night or I lock up the house and come back in the morning.

“Canija was outstanding! I requested her service at the last minute but she still took the job and I’m really appreciative of that. She was patient and attentive with my dog every day she walked him.

About: Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here. Finding someone you trust with your dog is a big deal, and I’d love to provide a safe, happy place for them while you’re away. I’ve spent the past 7+ years caring for animals of all kinds from dogs and cats to birds and even reptiles so I’m very comfortable with different personalities and needs. I also have experience with basic dog training, which allows me to reinforce good habits and help dogs feel more settled and confident. Because I work from home, your dog will have consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day. My home is set up to be both safe and enriching, with a fully fenced yard for outdoor play. My own dog is well-trained, gentle, and friendly with others. Each stay includes a good balance of playtime, mental enrichment, and time to relax, so your dog feels comfortable and at home. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away. I’d love to learn more about your dog and how I can make their stay the best possible! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine since I work from home. I like to start mornings slow with walks, feeding, and some playtime so dogs feel settled and comfortable right away. During the day, I balance attention, enrichment, and calm downtime so each dog can relax while I’m working. I try to follow their energy and needs, whether that’s more play or more rest. I stay close to home, so your dog will have consistent care, supervision, and a steady routine throughout their stay. I do my best to create a safe, calm, and welcoming environment for every dog in my care. At my home, I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time and live in a quiet, safe neighborhood that’s great for walks. I have one friendly, well-trained dog who enjoys the company of other dogs, but I always make sure introductions are done thoughtfully and based on each dog’s comfort level. Inside, I keep a clean, dog-friendly space with comfortable beds, plenty of fresh water, and toys. I’m also able to crate dogs if needed, whether that’s part of their normal routine or helps them feel more secure. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs, energy level, and personality to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I also maintain a clean, healthy environment, and all pets in my home are up to date on vaccinations for everyone’s safety.

About: I’ve spent years dedicating my time to caring for animals, volunteering with multiple animal charities and working with the Humane Society before officially beginning my veterinary career. My passion for animals started when I was a little girl, and at 16 I began working as a veterinary technician. I later advanced to a surgery assistant, gaining hands on experience in a full service veterinary clinic where I worked for nearly 4 year! I recently stepped away from the veterinary field to focus on finishing college with just six months left before earning my degree and pursuing a career in law enforcement. I remain committed to keeping my love for animals at the center of everything I do. Since I’m home most of the day, I have plenty of time to give animals attention, playtime, and any special care they need. I love keeping a calm, welcoming environment where pets can feel safe and happy, and I enjoy making them part of my everyday routine. I’m CPR certified with animals and know a lot about medications and caring for pets that need extra attention and special services. I’ve spent years working hands on with animals, so I’m comfortable helping with all kinds of unique needs and making sure every pet gets the best care!

About: I fell in love with dogs since the age of 4 after being terrified from my first encounter. But after a few more curiosity approaches, I went from being afraid to loving every dog I came across from walks and loving every dog I came across even on the roads. No matted fur or patches will stop me from giving it affection (ask my girlfriend about the dogs I pet on our trips lol) Any moods the fur baby gives I try to match so we both can say (or bark) “yeah this was a great day…now what about treats!” Tend to every need I can, have bathed my own fur baby but no experience with nail trimming (not forcing to do something they don’t like) and always love seeing that wide smiles either from play or from my belly scratches! Working full time so will really be available on every other weekend with some days in the week. Just message me and I’ll let you know my availability! Never want to miss meeting another fur-ones! Constant monitor when at play in case someone decides to eat something they had no business. Will always check area for random loose trash that might look to appetizing for the fur baby. We’re not getting no upset tummies in this (or your) household!

About: Hi there! I’m Taylor, and I’d love to care for your furry family members. I’m a passionate and responsible pet sitter who treats every animal like my own. Whether it’s a playful pup, a cuddly cat, or any special companion, I provide love, attention, and care tailored to their personality and needs. I understand that every pet deserves patience, consistency, and plenty of belly rubs! Why choose me? I’m dependable, communicative, and committed to keeping your pets happy and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure they get exercise, mental stimulation, and lots of affection, plus I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are in great hands. Whether it’s a quick visit, daily walks, or overnight stays, I’m here to make your pet’s day joyful and stress-free. Let me give your furry friends the love and attention they deserve! I work Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM. I have a wonderful fiancée and 2 boys, so my weekdays are usually busy. However, I’m flexible when it comes to pet sitting and can work with your schedule—whether it’s visits, walks, or overnight care. I’m committed to making sure your pets get the attention and care they need, no matter the time! I will spend as much time as I can and make sure your animal gets the attention and love they need while you are away.

About: my experience among pets has been quite extensive! I’ve started watching larger dogs i’ve owned from about the age of 7. I’m super comfortable with all breeds and all sizes! I started at the humane society volunteering for about a year, then adopted my own two pets; cat + dog. I loved my experience around animals so much that i pursued a few career opportunities working along side at kennels being able to learn more than I ever knew including, bathing, food health and many moments of individual time learning each breed! I also started my route through services like Wag and Rover about 6 years ago and have found joy every single experience. I currently have an open schedule, I will be able to fulfill any needs especially within a stay that would be longer. If any extra help is needed, always let me know and i’d be happy to help. I have full control of any environment I would take any pet into without any other animals or people being a concern, I also have extra supply if needed. I do prefer, if ever an available option for a visit due to my house being so full at the moment, however, if your furry friend is comfortable i’m comfortable!

“Thank you sooo much. Nash and I will definitely be using you again. See you soon!”

About: I am choosing to take care of dogs on my free time because I work at an animal hospital and I feel as though I could be a good attribute to good quality care. I love animals so much and just want to spend more time with them! Working at a animal hospital my schedule will vary but I do get my schedules in advance so I would just let you know and we’ll go from there. while giving visits or even walking dogs, I make sure all needs are met but above all I make sure to build a connection. I do believe that it’s not only important to physically take care of a dog but emotionally as well being that they will miss you!
