Dog Walking Buckhead Ridge

About: As a child raised on a farm, I developed a natural ability to nurture and care for animals of all kinds. For as long as I can remember, I have provided my pets with everything they need to thrive. I have owned several dogs and cats over the years. I make sure they remain happy and healthy. This includes administering treatments when necessary, bathing them regularly, trimming their nails, keeping up with vaccinations and medical checkups, and providing plenty of affection and companionship on a daily basis. Taking care of animals comes naturally to me. I not only provide for their basic needs, but I also establish a loving bond with my pets through consistent care, grooming, attention, and of course walks and treats. The wellbeing of the animals in my care is of the utmost importance to me. Pet care is completely integrated into my daily routine and responsibilities. From the moment I wake up, my focus is on ensuring the needs of my pets are met. Each morning begins with filling food and water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, and walking the dogs. My farm animals also require daily attention in terms of feeding, watering and letting them into their specific areas. Throughout the day, I am constantly checking in on my pets, refilling water, playing with them, and providing comfort and companionship. If any of my pets show signs they are unwell or need to see a vet, I make that my top priority and will rearrange my schedule accordingly to take them to appointments. Even during the nighttime, I am there for my pet and their needs and listen for any sounds that would indicate they want to go outside or need something. Their wellbeing and happiness comes before anything else in my routine. No matter what else is going on in my day, my pets always receive the time, care and love they deserve from me. As a dedicated pet caregiver, I provide for all the needs of the animals under my supervision. Whether at my own home or a client's residence, my focus is always on ensuring the pets remain happy, healthy, and well behaved. I allow the pets outdoor access at regular intervals, taking them for walks when needed. Basic hygiene is a priority, so pets receive routine grooming that includes baths and nail trimming. I play with the animals frequently to and provide lots of affection, hugs, and praise to make sure they feel loved. Their diet is closely monitored. I prepare fresh food and change water dishes regularly. I also secure away objects that could pose a hazard if left where a pet could access them. Regular vet appointments are scheduled to check them out and keep them up to date with everything. I take the pets to parks and other open spaces for fun. My role as a pet caregiver ensures all needs are met and the animals remain comfortable and content, whether at my own residence or under my supervision at a client's home. The pets' happiness and wellbeing are my top priorities.

About: I have taken care of family dogs. I always show compassion towards pets and want them to enjoy their time. You can count on me. I am looking to make more money to provide for my daughter and have enough to get a place for us to stay so it would mean a lot to me to be able to help you with your dog. I live in a quiet neighborhood so I am looking to go for walks with your dog but if they prefer dog parks I am always up for that. I work from home so I am home all day. I do light work so I am always available to walk your pet throughout the day, Feed them and make sure they use the restroom and I am off on weekend. I like to keep the pet out their cage and let them feel free and not caged up. If I am leaving the house if needed I’ll keep them in the cage or take them with me but I will never leave them in the cage for long. I am very loving so I love to play with pets

About: I've personally had and cared for a variety of pets my whole life. From a variety of dogs and cats of various breeds and sizes, to guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, snakes, lizards, fish, ferrets and limited experience with farm animals. I have a senior dog who is special needs and cannot walk. I especially love to take him on walks in his stroller and swim with him for exercise. Comfortable giving medication and following all pet parents directions. I have open availability to fit all scheduling and care needs. Appointments can be booked in advance or same day if needed. Pets are my only focus! I have a fenced in yard for your pets to play in and a pool if they love to swim! There is plenty of space in my 3 bedroom home if they need to relax alone, have crate time or they can play with my two friendly dogs. I have one 7 year old lab mix with lots of energy and a senior shitzu that is friendly and calm with special physical needs. There are no children or other pets in this home. Non smokers.

“Glenn is very reliable and responsible, as well as proactive. If there is a problem with the food or the dogs he is sure to let me know. He has done an excellent job with our two dogs, even accommodating the older one with a shorter walk while taking the younger one on a longer walk.”
