Dog Walking East Ridge-Ptarmigan Park

About: http://www.rover.com/sit/athens71619 Experienced with medication administration (oral, topical) Daily photo/video updates so you never wonder how they're doing In-home overnight care to keep routines consistent 20+ years caring for dogs, cats, and some exotics alike. Pet care is a steady, built-in part of my day rather than something I have to squeeze in. In the morning, I feed my cat, which also gives me a natural reason to get up and start the day with some fresh air and movement. When pet sitting dogs evenings are usually the most involved part of the routine — a longer walk or play session, feeding, and some downtime together, like brushing them or just relaxing on the couch. I also handle the weekly tasks on a set day: cleaning their bedding or litter box, washing food and water bowls thoroughly. Overall, I see pet care less as a chore and more as a rhythm that keeps me consistent and grounded — it gives structure to my day whether things are calm or hectic. When I care for pets in a client's home, I start by following the routine and instructions the owner has given me as closely as possible, since consistency helps pets feel secure even when their person is away. I stick to their regular feeding times and portions, make sure fresh water is always available, and follow any specific dietary or medication instructions exactly as written. For walks and exercise, I keep to the pet's normal schedule and pace, paying attention to their energy level and any physical limitations. Indoors, I spend time on play and companionship — not just the basic tasks — since many pets get anxious or lonely when their owner is gone, and a little extra attention goes a long way. I'm also mindful of the home itself: I make sure doors and gates are secured, clean up any messes right away, and leave the space as tidy as I found it. If I notice anything unusual — a change in appetite, behavior, or a health concern — I contact the owner right away and document it, along with photos or notes if needed. Before and after each visit, I send updates to the owner so they know their pet is safe, fed, and happy, which also gives them peace of mind while they're away.

“We hired Stephany last minute and we are so thankful for her! She has truly been a wonderful addition to our dogs daily routine. We are blessed to continue our daily walks this upcoming week. She is always on time, communicates well, takes fun pictures during the walk, and always leaves after making sure he is taken care of.”

“We had a great experience with Paige! She was excellent at communicating before, during, and after every walk, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She always left thoughtful updates about what they worked on together and how things went. Our dog is a newly adopted shelter pup with lots of energy, and it was clear she genuinely cared about giving her the attention, structure, and care she needs. You can tell she truly loves dogs and takes her work seriously. We really appreciated her patience, reliability, and the effort she put into helping our rambunctious boy thrive. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I'm Sam! I am an unabashed dog mom who loves animals and wants to pet them all! I had a now 12 year old boxer mix named Ellie that we had raised since she was 4 months old, and I grew up with many dogs of many breeds around all the time. I recently moved back to Colorado from Charlotte and am looking forward to meeting the animals and people who live in this beautiful city! Since I just moved back to Colorado, I am currently not working, so I have all the time in the world! And I am happy to fill that time with animals! Most comfortable watching animals at your house because I am staying with family for a while, but I am happy to board with permission from said family.

“I’m very grateful I found Leannan! When she met my dog she was able to quiet him down with some voodoo massage. She has been conscientious and clearly my dog loves her. I definitely recommend her!”

Denise L.

“Fabiana was great! She communicated very well, took great care of my dog, and even had a spare leash when we couldn't find ours. She was very friendly and we would definitely use her again.”

Amanda F.

“Lenka is absolutely fantastic!! She took the time to get to know Roxy and took plenty of pictures along their walk. She’s super caring with Rox and was very patient with her as she adjusted to Lenka hanging out and walking with her.”
