Dog Walkers in Cumming, GA

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog parent. I have hands-on experience caring for a reactive dog, which has taught me patience, awareness, and how to read canine body language. I understand that every dog has unique needs and comfort levels, and I strive to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for each pet in my care. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve while you’re away. Pet care is a part of my daily routine as I care for my own dog every day. I prioritize walks, feeding, playtime, enrichment activities, and monitoring behavior and well-being. Having a reactive dog has taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of providing a safe and structured environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my home or a client’s home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment, closely supervise pets, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. As the owner of a reactive dog, I understand the importance of reading body language, respecting boundaries, and creating a calm, low-stress environment tailored to each pet’s needs.

About: I have had a profound love for animals my entire life and have grown up caring for pets of all sizes. I am experienced with dogs, cats, reptiles, and small animals, giving me a well-rounded understanding of different pet needs and behaviors. I have been dog sitting for over 6 years and have built lasting relationships with trusted clients through dependable, compassionate care. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, medication administration, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I am currently in the beginning stages of starting my own business, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting. This allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care, whether they need frequent visits, extended stays, or last-minute accommodations. I take pride in being reliable, responsive, and available when pet owners need someone they can trust. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of finding someone you can trust with your animals. I currently care for three dogs and a gecko of my own, giving me daily hands-on experience with pets and their unique needs. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, affection, and supervision while maintaining their regular routines. I carefully follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own pets.

About: While I’ve never had a dog of my own I have always loved walking and caring for my friends and neighbors dogs! I love dogs of all ages and size. I am a college student home for the summer so I have very open availability and am very flexible with scheduling. I am very open and am available to walk your pets any day of the week within daylight hours. I am also flexible with last minute scheduling. I have always loved animals and have just taken in two adorable kittens and I also have a mature Maine coon cat. My friends and neighbors have dogs that I just love looking after and taking for walks!

About: Hi! My name is Olivia and I am a recent UGA graduate! I volunteered at the Athens Humane Society for 3 years while in school and I also have a lot of experience with dog sitting, as well as having a Golden Doodle myself! I have all the time to take care of your sweet pets! I start my next step in of education in August so throughout the summer I am very free. My home has a fenced yard and plenty of room to play! I also have a 1 year old Golden Doodle named Cherry who gets along super well with other dogs! I am home throughout the day so time to play and go outside is very convenient!

“Lindy was amazing with our dog, Max! She came over and took him for walks daily! She sent pictures and daily walking routes. I highly recommend Lindy and we will use her again!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have over 5 years of hands-on pet care experience, including dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, feeding, playtime, and general care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and families have trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away because I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I also currently have a golden retriever of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am currently a a graduate student in a nurse anesthesia program and have a very flexible schedule because most of my learning is online for the time being. I am open to weekends also and mainly have classes earlier in the day but can work around my schedule. I always try to keep pets comfortable by sticking to their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and attention, and feel safe while their owners are away. I’m very attentive to behavior changes, cleanliness, and making sure pets get lots of playtime, walks, and affection.

About: I enjoy the company of animals and would love to get to know yours! I understand you want to find a reliable person to watch over your precious animals and home. All I can do is say I will treat them like my own fur-baby. I have more than 3 years' experience volunteering for the Humane Society of Forsyth County, having fostered more dogs than I can remember. I loved the experience of helping them learn how to behave properly in a home, and then watching their joy when they found their fur-ever homes! I have also participated in numerous dog behavior tests to see how they interact with other dogs, cats, and humans. Services I provide: dog walking, administering oral medications, transportation to the vet or groomer, playtime, overnight stays, and pet companionship. If any special requests/needs are required I would love to talk about them.

About: We love dogs! I have had dogs all of my life and have been dog sitting "officially" as well for the past 3 years. Leave your baby in loving, caring hands while you are away. They will get all of the love and attention that you would give them if you were home!

“Great communication and we could tell Baxter was so happy in Sharon’s care! We will definitely use her again!”

“Arya always does a great job taking care of my babies. I was very nervous about allowing someone else into my home and trusting them to take care of my dogs but Arya’s great care has completely put me at ease. I have worked with her several times now and each time is a great experience. I am very appreciative of her care.”

About: I've often helped friends and family care for their dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, and keeping them company when needed. Honestly, whenever I visit friends, I usually end up spending time with their dogs! I'm currently on summer break and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. Most days, my schedule is open, and when I'm not spending time with pets, I'm usually out playing golf or running errands nearby :) I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I always follow the owner's instructions closely and try my best to prioritize owner's will because I know they know their dog the best. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping a dog company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

About: Hello there! I am dedicated pet lover with a heart full of love for our furry companions. With a history of owning two dogs, I've had the joy of sharing my life with wonderful canine friends. My experience includes caring for a small, beloved companion who lived a full and happy life for 13 years. The memories of those cherished moments inspire my commitment to providing the best care for all animals. Currently, I share my home with a fantastic 80lb Rottweiler/Doberman mix. Her playful energy and affectionate nature have enriched my understanding of the unique needs of larger breeds. I'm well-versed in handling their strength and ensuring they get the exercise and attention they crave. Being a student has granted me the flexibility to easily integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule allows for dedicated time to ensure your furry friends receive the attention and care they deserve. For in-home services, I aim to replicate your pet's familiar routine, keeping them in a comfortable and stress-free environment. This includes maintaining their regular feeding, play, and exercise schedules. If your pet enjoys outdoor activities, I'll make sure they get the exercise they need, whether it's playing in the backyard or going for walks in the neighborhood. I keep you informed about your pet's activities and well-being through regular updates, photos, and messages. Communication is key to ensuring you have peace of mind while you're away.

“Felicia was amazing and we are so grateful to have found her! Our dog immediately loved her when we met. She was always on time, sent the cutest pictures, and responded to messages very quickly. Huge bonus that she’s a dog trainer. Will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: What makes me a great friend to your little one is that I am not restricted by a work schedule, so I have a TON of flexibility! I also live alone, no roommates, no kids, no other pets, so my attention can be completely focused on your pet! I have been caring for dogs since I was 5 years old when I got my first - a dachshund named Molly. I’ve cared for over a dozen dogs since. My Dad and Grandpa trained police dogs on K-9 units so it must be in my blood! I am also a HUGE walker and hiker already, so, if your dog loves to explore and needs to get some energy out - I’m your girl! Because I am home a lot of the day, senior dogs work well for me too! There is truly a dog breed I don’t absolutely love. Fun fact #1 - At 13 years old, I started a dog walking and boarding business in my neighborhood with my best friend - “Woof Walkers” - t-shirts and all! My love and care for animals has only grown since. Fun fact #2 - I once got a $200 tip for dog sitting because the owners felt so confident their little loved one was cared for so well - he didn’t want to leave me! :) I can be 100% committed to being with your furry friend all day and night long! I have all the time in the world and love nothing more than lounging, going on walks (or hikes!) with the worlds greatest gift to humans - dogs :) My apartment complex has a great a dog park with lots of other furry friends along with a huge open field to get all the zoomies out! My surrounding area (0.6 miles away) has GREAT walking trails on Lake Lanier, several dog parks, and vet care 0.5 miles away should any emergencies come up. I keep my apartment very tidy with several cozy couches and chairs (and bed) to lounge on but have no problems with the little bit of a mess a furry friend can bring. I also have a balcony to let them get some sun. I drive a Jeep with plenty of space for toting if needed. I like to text the dog owners as many photos as they would like just to touch base and know that their friend is safe, loved, comfortable and having FUN! I would love the opportunity to become a friend to the family.

Since I’m currently on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and lots of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets attention throughout the day. Having extra free time also means I can be more attentive and make sure pets feel comfortable, active, and cared for For pet sitting and dog walking, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their normal environment. I follow the owner’s routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. During walks, I make sure pets get exercise while staying safe and comfortable. I also give plenty of attention, patience, and affection so pets feel relaxed while their owners are away.

About: I have grown up with pets of all kinds from a very young age. I have experience with large and small dog breeds, cats, guinea pigs, fish, etc. almost every member of my family has pets, mostly dogs and I am relied on frequently to help care for them. I my self have two amazing cats and a dachshund mix. My dog suffers from separation anxiety and can be quite reactive to certain triggers and or situations, so I have experience with this as well. I understand how hard it can be to trust a stranger with your precious pets. I will work with you to ensure maximum trust and comfort for both the owners and pets. I look forward to helping families care for their pets and meeting new furry faces. I currently have a completely open schedule and am open to anything including frequent visits, long term sitting and overnights. My schedule is flexible and completely moldable to the needs of my client. I am unable to care for pets in my home due to my animals needs and living situation. I will ensure to follow all directives given, especially regarding pet safety. I have experience with fence magicians and escape artists. All pets will be closely supervised.
