“Elizabeth did such a great job walking my dog. She was attentive and took her on nice long walks. I was able to feel completely at peace knowing my dog was getting such focused and personal care. Elizabeth was also always excellent at communicating any changes and gave me daily updates on the walk. I highly recommend her and will continue to use her in the future!”

About: I grew up in an animal-loving home and have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards, and rodents. I have worked as a kennel tech at an emergency vet, volunteered at animal shelters walking dogs and socializing cats, and have volunteered at a local wildlife center for over 5 years. Right now, I have 2 amazing dogs and foster kittens for Dekalb County Animal Services. I strive to offer enriching and engaging pet care services, whether that includes going on walks, playing in the park, or staying home and playing or giving scritches. I also pride myself in staying up-to-date with pet care methods. I can administer medication, provide simple grooming services (bath and brush), and provide small animal care. I have a soft spot for senior dogs and understand that they can have extra needs. My schedule is flexible and can accommodate you and your pet's needs. I am currently job hunting and fill my time with child-care and pet-care jobs, and I keep my availability calendar up to date and always strive to provide as much advance notice as possible for any changes. I will follow your pet's typical routines as closely as possible while building trust and comfort. My priority is providing engaging and safe care and caring for pets as if they're my own.
“Laura is a dream come true. New to the area & never used this service. We scheduled a meet and greet. She took notes, trial walk & played with my Shihtzu Panda. She is professional & truly cares about dogs. I confidently recommend her & will choose her every time!”
“Our elderly dog recently had procedures and Deedee was willing to accommodate to all his abilities and restrictions plus medications. We are so grateful for her care.”
“Caitlin did another fantastic job with the boys. Buster was far more calm and had his happy bark going when he saw Caitlin. Both dogs have bonded well with Caitlin. She is a great dog walker.”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and family and friends dogs for the past several years. I understand how important it is to ensure that the pet feels safe and secure while their favorite humans are out of town, along with keeping their schedule on track. I am currently available most afternoons and weekends. My current schedule is very flexible and can work around most needs and days of the week. I will care for your pets as you would like them to be cared for, whether that is crating at night or making sure they are walked both in the morning and the afternoon.
About: I’ve grown up taking care of animals my entire life. I’ve never been without an animal in my 24 years of living. I’m really good at giving baths and following specific instructions. I have my own transportation. I have also done some drop ins for my family and friends while they’re out of town to take care of their animals. I promise I am extremely responsible and you can trust me with your furry friends. I also exercise so walking animals can help me get in my workout as well as theirs so it’s a win win for everybody. I do not discriminate against any dogs or cats. I love all of them equally and they will all get equally loved by me every time I see them :). I am currently working part-time so I have a lot of availability throughout the week to take care of your animals! I can drop in, I can walk them whatever your needs are I can meet them for you! I have experienced distributing medicine so if you have any animals that need that I can do that for you. I will feed them,play with them-cuddle. Take them out for walks. Anything that you need!
About: I've grown up here in GA loving all kinds of animals from cats and dogs, to horses on my familys farm, to fish in my aquarium. I have specifcally been around and taken care of dogs and cats all my life, but have had my very own fur baby Ollie the mini long haired dachsund for over 4 years now. I'm a teacher at a local private school and my schedule is quite flexible with the regular school vacations available as well. Even when I'm full time I finish around 3:30 and can always run by for a walk, a check in, etc. Happy to board at my house or house sit at yours depending on schedules and needs. Our home is a townhouse with a lovely little brick walled courtyard in the front. We are also just steps away from Adair dog park and plenty of good neighborhoods for any distance of walks required.

Nima was hands down 100% amazing! She treated our fluff ball like a king, truly like a member of the family. She adapted to his style and really seemed to understand him. She gave us detailed updates and thoughtful feedback, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It made us so happy knowing our puppy was being cared for with such respect and love, making the time apart much easier for both him and us.
Elizabeth did such a great job walking my dog. She was attentive and took her on nice long walks. I was able to feel completely at peace knowing my dog was getting such focused and personal care. Elizabeth was also always excellent at communicating any changes and gave me daily updates on the walk. I highly recommend her and will continue to use her in the future!
Ella was an outstanding dog walker for our pup. She was always prompt, caring, and communicative. She managed to craft unique messages each day, keeping us updated while we traveled, and took great pics. This resulted in worry-free travel for us and a great experience for our senior pup.
Georga is great and my dogs loved the time and cuddles they spent with her! She was amazing with my timid pup and my very enthusiastic/loud pup. She was awesome about sending updates and playing with both my pups and cats! I really appreciate all the care Georga took of them and I felt great knowing they were with her.
It’s our last week with Solange and we are so sad. I would not have stopped if we didn’t move. She has so been attentive and caring with my dog on walks for the past year. Takes the cutest pics which is a plus. She's been flexible when possible and always has good communication. Would recommend her services in a heartbeat.
My dog was being weird and not letting him put a leash on her. She kept running away. I told Timo to leave and not to worry about it. He didn’t. He sat patiently for 30 minutes and waited for my dog to warm up to him. And took her out. Just an awesome dog walker who went above and beyond when he didn’t have to. Showed immense care and initiative.
Thank you, Mary, for taking such good care of my dog, Julie! It is a huge relief to know Julie is loved and cared for while I'm gone for the day. It eases some of the pain of being away from home to know that Julie is getting playtime, walks, and attention from someone who genuinely cares about her. Mary is not only great with dogs, but she is an excellent communicator. She texts me daily to keep me up-to-date and shares pictures of the walks.
