Dog Walking Buckhead

“Brooke was so considerate to accept my last minute request and also to take care of my pup with much love and care. She also turned on the tv to play bluey for him while leaving him back at the home. She gave him treat after his walk. He was very careful with him and communicated exceptionally all along. She clicks so many pictures to send me as well. I would trust my dog with her anytime.”

About: Hi! I’m Elena, I am an animal lover and have had had several pets throughout my life. I have two cats, Larry and Louise, and I had my dog Angie for 16 years. Angie was a Jack Russell Terrier with lots of energy and was an angel, she did have issues with anxiety and in her older age required extra help so I’m familiar with the sensitivity needed for a pet that needs extra care! I have worked through Rover before but I’ve also had consistent pet sitting relationships off the app. I am working currently but I am happy to work around my schedule. I truly care for animals and prioritize love and enrichment. Please let me know if I can help you keep your pets happy and cared for. Send me a message, and we can work out a time for us to meet :) I am currently working full time, so afternoons after 4pm or lunch time walks are the easiest. Early mornings can be accommodated as well though I am what some might call hyper-vigilant so I am very conscious of keeping my pets safe. I will treat your pet as if they’re my own and update you as much as you’d like

“Morgan is a true dog lover and such a professional. She is so thorough with her updates every single day. She includes multiple (super cute) pictures of our dogs with details of their time together on walks. She also stays beyond walk time to play fetch with the pups and always makes sure they have water and food before she leaves! Morgan is truly the best and her praises can’t be sung enough. We feel so happy knowing that our dogs are in such loving care with her. You won’t regret choosing Morgan!”

“Natalia loves dogs! I could tell since the first day she met Elvis. She has been very responsible with Elvis Walking schedule, always on time, very communicative and very respectful when inside our house. I can tell Elvis loves his walks with her. Thank you so much Natalia for all your help with Elvis!”

“Emily was amazing with Noddy! She took good care of him and handled his playful/excitement so patiently. She kept me updated, made sure he got his treats and water, and was super easy to communicate with. Even when he tried to jump or pull, she stayed calm and gentle with him. I’d definitely book her again! 🐶”

“Maya came to the rescue when I needed a emergency walk last minute! This was the first time my pup has experienced a person coming into my home when I’m not there, and she was very patient and understanding. I now know my puppy needs a meet and greet prior to booking any services. Nonetheless Maya was fantastic! Very sweet and communication was amazing!”

About: Hi, we’re Frank and Leticia. Oh, the joy of finding someone to watch your dog when you have to go out of town. NOT! At least for me, this was always so stressful. We tend to think anyone can watch a dog, but no... not really. Some people just don’t care that much. To them, it’s just a dog. And unfortunately, there is really no way to know that beforehand. And I’m not even talking about someone treating and caring for your dog exactly the way you would. I mean the basics — feeding them, taking them out to do their business, getting them some exercise and, hopefully, giving them a little attention. You would think that part would be easy to find, whether it’s a friend or a sitter. It isn’t always. Maybe I’ve just had particularly bad luck, but I had a few horrible experiences that made me much more anxious about leaving my dog with anyone. Once, I came home after being away for a week and found the TV room covered in poop and the blinds chewed up. This was a dog who had never once gone to the bathroom inside the house and had never been a chewer. He didn’t even destroy his own toys. Not one. It was pretty obvious he had been left in that room for far too long. Long enough that he had no choice but to relieve himself inside and became stressed enough to chew the blinds. Another time, someone I knew and trusted kept him confined to a bathroom because she said his fur was bothering her allergies. He basically spent the week in there. And then, out of desperation, I once looked into boarding him at a well-known facility. I was already not a huge fan of that kind of environment for anything longer than a day, but while setting up his stay I was asked whether I wanted to add daily walks. As an optional extra. What? The additional charge wasn’t what bothered me. It was the fact that walking the dog was optional in the first place. The idea that leaving a dog in a kennel-type environment for a week without regular walks could even be an option just did not sit well with me. So trust me, I get it. You go through a few experiences like that and you can’t help but worry about everything. At the same time, I was also very lucky to have friends who cared for Louie with so much love, and I will always be thankful for them. Once you finally find someone you genuinely trust with your dog, what a relief. It honestly feels like you found a pot of gold. My own experience with all of this is a big part of how we approach pet sitting today. We lost our little guy Louie during the pandemic, and we still miss having a dog around more than I can explain. We’re not quite ready to adopt again, so we found that pet sitting gives us some of that companionship back. I joke sometimes that I’m not really sure whether we’re keeping the dog company or the dog is keeping us company. Both Leticia and I work from home, so we are around a lot. And the way we care for your dog is pretty simple: we treat them the way we would have wanted someone to treat Louie. Pet sitting is obviously not the same as having your own dog, but a lot of the time it actually requires even more attention and patience. And that makes sense too. They don’t understand that you went on vacation and will be back Sunday night. All they know is that their person left. Some dogs adjust very quickly and make themselves at home almost immediately. Others are a process. They’re nervous. They’re still trying to figure out who you are and whether they can trust you. Some don’t eat normally at first. Some follow you everywhere. Some need more walks, more interaction and lots and lots of reassurance for the first day or two. That is the part of pet sitting I think people sometimes underestimate. It really isn’t just listing a service and having a dog stay at your house, or going over to theirs. They need real company. They need interaction. They need walks. They need play. And sometimes they just need to be able to stay next to you as much as possible while they figure everything out. We try to keep their normal routine as much as we can — meals, walks, bedtime, commands, treats, medication, where they like to sleep, and whatever little habits they are used to at home. Senior dogs especially need a different kind of patience, and we love them. Slower walks. Medication schedules. More frequent bathroom breaks. Helping them get comfortable. Going up and down the stairs with them every single time because, of course, they have to follow you everywhere haha. Sometimes we may need to cook them something like a little rice and chicken, if their owner allows it, just to get them interested in eating. Sometimes they need to be hand-fed for a bit. You name it. Whatever helps them get through that initial separation anxiety and start feeling like themselves again. Usually, after a couple of days, they settle in and their personality really starts coming out. And of course, right when they get completely comfortable with us, it’s almost time for them to go home. But that’s okay. We had a good time too. As far as having a fenced backyard, either ours or yours, it honestly doesn’t make a big difference to us. I wouldn’t leave a dog outside unattended anyway, and to me, opening a back door isn’t a substitute for exercise or interaction. When we go outside, we go do something. Sometimes it’s a short walk. Sometimes it’s a long one. Maybe some exploring, playing, or time at the fenced dog area in our subdivision if that is something your dog enjoys and you’re comfortable with. Louie was never the kind of dog who would just hang out outside and entertain himself anyway. If your dog genuinely loves hanging out in the yard, absolutely tell us. Every dog is different. But enough about us. There really isn’t anything I can write here that will completely take the worry away. I totally understand that. Anyone can write a nice profile. Anyone offering a service can say all the right things and sound wonderful. Unfortunately, that is what makes choosing someone so difficult. So more than anything, I just hope you find someone you genuinely trust to take care of your best buddy while you’re away — whether that ends up being a friend, a family member, us, or another sitter. You will find them. Don’t settle for anything less. Best, Frank & Leticia We both work from home, so we’re around most of the day. Your dog will usually have company throughout the day, with regular breaks for walks, potty time, play, attention, or just hanging out with us. We follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible and respect whatever rules you have at home. We’re comfortable with medications, senior dogs, special feeding routines, and dogs that need a little extra patience or reassurance. We do not leave dogs outside unattended, and we never treat a backyard as a replacement for walks or interaction.

About: We’ve always been huge animal lovers! I (Jasmine) grew up with two dogs and two cats, and now Chris and I live in Atlanta with our dog, Max. Between us, we have over 8 years of pet sitting experience and have cared for pets with all kinds of personalities and routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, couch cuddles, or just wants a comfy place to nap, we’re happy to follow their lead and make them feel at home. We also know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so you can expect plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away. Our goal is simple: lots of love, attention, and a home away from home. We’ll probably get a little too attached by pickup time ❤️ We currently work from home on the days we offer pet care, which means your pets are never left unattended or rushed. Because of this flexibility, time is never an issue. We are able to fully focus on each pet’s needs throughout the day rather than fitting care around a busy schedule. Our day already revolves around our dog Max’s structured walk and care routine, so caring for other pets fits in naturally. This allows for multiple walks, regular potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, feeding on schedule, and plenty of attention. Our home is clean and free of clutter, providing a safe and comfortable space for pets. We have a secure, fenced balcony for fresh air and supervised time, and we share our home with a small Australian Shepherd who is friendly and well cared for. With plenty of space and constant supervision, pets can relax, play, and feel right at home.

“Addison was so sweet and wonderful with walking our dog Treasure. She sent lots of photos, followed our instructions perfectly and gave her plenty of attention and cuddles. We plan on using her again and can happily recommend her for your pet care needs.”

“Nina was great! I had something come up last minute and didn’t wanna leave my pup without his afternoon walk. Luckily, Nina was nice enough to take him out with such short notice and was at my place within 30 minutes.”

About: I don’t have any specific pet care besides taking care of my own, but I’ve been a nurse going on 8 years and to me animals and people are so different but so similar when it comes to care. Hi, I’m currently in Nurse Practitioner school trying to bring in some extra money. I have a weird schedule when I comes to work schedule so I thought this could be a good option. I’m in healthcare so I’ll treat your babies like they are patients at my hospital! Many people express how spoiled my dog is. So forgive me if your animals get the same treatment when I’m around. (Unless otherwise told different by you)

About: I have been around pets since the age of one, so I am an avid animal lover. I have cared for the pets of family and friends, including my canine niece and nephew Jolene and Jhett and a shy cat named Leo. By tending to my dog Sasha for 12 wonderful years, I gained experience in administering medications (oral and topical) and palliative care. After her passing, I decided to give back to my community by fostering dogs and volunteering with the Lifeline Animal Project. I work from home, so I am able to provide around-the-clock care for your fur baby. I can give multiple walks throughout the day and adequate play time. Additionally, due to the flexibility of my schedule, I am able to travel to your place to provide walks or care if that is a more desirable option. I reside in a gated apartment complex that has a dog park. I also live very close to Lenox Park and Brookhaven Park that I would be happy to take your pup to. I am in close proximity to a 24-hour emergency veterinary clinic. Pets are welcome anywhere inside my home, especially on the couch for cuddles. I can host up to two pets at time, but I will not host another animal during your pet’s stay if that is your preference.
