Dog Walking Echo Brook Park

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. As a cat owner myself, I understand the unique needs of felines, and I provide a comfortable, loving environment for all pets. As someone who works from home, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m able to provide regular feeding, playtime, and walks throughout the day, ensuring your pet receives consistent attention. With a flexible schedule, I can accommodate special needs and adjust routines as required, all while keeping your pet safe and happy. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a comfortable and safe environment with plenty of space to play, relax, and receive attention. I follow your pet’s regular routine for feeding, exercise, and rest, while offering extra care if needed, such as medication administration or special dietary needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to keep their environment familiar and stress-free. I stick to their regular routines for feeding, walks, and playtime. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions for their care, ensuring they feel secure and comfortable while you’re away.

About: With 8 years of experience, I provide loving and attentive care for both dogs and cats. I have worked with puppies, senior pets, and even partially blind or deaf animals. I'm skilled in administering medications using various methods, ensuring your pet gets the care they need. I offer walks, playtime, feedings, and plenty of cuddles! Comfortable handling multiple dogs at once, I’ve cared for households with up to seven dogs, managing feedings and walks with ease. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities! I'm currently a college student with a schedule that allows me to stop by in the morning, midday, and afternoon/night. On weekends I am completely open for care unless stated otherwise on my availability. I provide care in my client’s home to ensure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to minimize stress and maintain their routine. I also send regular photo updates so owners can see how happy and well their pets are while they’re away.

About: I've always loved taking in animals and taking care of them whether they were my own or not. I have been pet sitting for about 4 years now, and I volunteered at an animal clinic in Athens, GA for 6 months. At the clinic I frequently bathed, walked, feed, and took care of many different dogs and cats. I currently only work a couple days out of the month and also complete college online, so my schedule gives me open and flexible availability! Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are all prioritized when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I always take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs such as feeding schedules, medications, or behavioral preferences.

About: While I've had pets my entire life, I've professionally cared for the animals of others for nearly 10 years. While I was in the Army, I fostered for a local rescue and did the basic training and socialization for young, abandoned puppies to get them ready for forever homes. While pursuing my BS of Animal Science at ISU (Class of '19) I worked at Lloyd Veterinary Medical Hospital with equines of all ages, and spent several years as professional Animal caretaker working at the USDA with small animals. I have experience with dogs and cats, young and old, as well as rodents and other small animal pets, geckos, and freshwater aquarium fish. I am semi-retired, and work my own hours part time so schedule is flexible and it's easy for me to fit your pet(s) into my daily life Your pets will be most comfortable in their own environment, and I am committed to caring for them in a way most similar to what they are accustomed to.

About: Hi, I'm Vivian! I've spent about five years pet sitting and walking dogs, looking after everything from shy cats to a German shepherd I helped train. I've got an 8-year-old pup of my own, so I know how much your pets mean to you. One dog or a whole crew, I'll keep their routine on track, give them lots of love, and keep you in the loop while you're away. I'm based in Athens and work part-time, so my schedule leaves plenty of open time for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I'll work your dog's routine into my week and make sure they get the attention and exercise they need. If you have specific days in mind, just reach out and we'll figure it out! I follow your instructions to the letter, from feeding times and portions to medications, walk routes, and any house rules. Before the first visit, I'll ask about your pet's personality, quirks, health needs, and anything that makes them nervous, so they feel comfortable with me right away. During each visit I keep a close eye on how they're eating, acting, and feeling, and I'll send you photos and updates so you always know how they're doing. If anything seems off, you'll hear from me right away.

About: I’ve always been that person who immediately notices the dog before the humans (respectfully 😂). I genuinely love animals and take caring for them seriously. Whether your pet is full of zoomies, prefers a slow stroll, or just wants someone to sit nearby while they judge me from across the room (looking at you, cats), I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m reliable, patient, detail-oriented, and I’ll stick to your pet’s routine because I know consistency matters. Expect lots of updates, cute pictures, and the occasional message telling you your dog made a new best friend (me). I’m currently a PhD student, so my schedule has flexibility throughout the week. Pet care is honestly one of my favorite ways to step away from my computer, get outside, and spend time with some furry company. I’ll always communicate clearly, arrive when I say I will, and make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. If your pet is in my care, they’re my priority. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep a close eye on their behavior, and make sure they stay safe and comfortable. I know leaving your pet with someone else can feel nerve-racking, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can actually enjoy your time away instead of wondering how your fur baby is doing.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life living at home and have always had friends and cousins with cats as well. I have been pet sitter for dogs and cats for several of my neighbors. I am used to walking two dogs so I can handle a lot! I love animals so much and being able to still be around them while being away from home is a wonderful opportunity. I am currently a student at the University of Georgia but I am free most weekends and after 11 am on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I love animals and have great energy for walks and drop ins! I love to exercise and play with pets as needed. I am devoted and caring towards all needs.

About: I have had pets all my life. I have had dogs, cats, goats, fish, turtles, deer, squirrels! You name it and I’ve probably had it. I am a frequent volunteer at the Athens Clarke County Animal Shelter. I love giving some much needed attention to the sweet animals while they wait for their fur-ever homes! Let me take care of your babies! I’ll treat them just like my own. I am a teacher, so I am back at school during the weekdays. I will be at work from 7:30-3:30 but am happy to care for pets before I leave for work and immediately when I return home. I am happy to come to your home and care for your pet in their space.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 5 years now, from dogs to frogs! Some of my own and some from others I give each animal the love and care that they deserve. I love being outdoors in any climate whether that be hiking, jogging, or simply sitting in a field. I’d be more than happy to burn some energy with your fur baby! I work part time during the night which leaves lots of free time during the mornings to walk, feed, and check in on your pets. I occasionally have classes during the week, so I’ll already be up bright and early! I will provide your pets with loving attention, frequent walks and bathroom breaks, even playtime. I am sure to create a safe environment for your fur babies, if that means a mini play date or introduction session before sitting I am down for it all. I will stay loyal to the given instructions with proper feeding times and administer medication if/when needed.

About: I’m the person who actually reads the instructions. I have more than 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m especially comfortable with medium and large dogs and currently accept walking clients up to 70 pounds. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and respectful of the fact that every household does things a little differently. If you tell me your dog eats from a certain bowl, waits at a certain door, prefers a particular route, or has a weird little routine that makes no sense to anyone but them — I’m going to follow it. I’ll also keep you updated with clear notes and photos so you’re not left wondering how things went. I’m not a trainer or medical-care provider, and I don’t administer medications. What I do offer is consistency, patience, careful attention, and reliable care from someone who genuinely enjoys being around dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already spend time each day walking and caring for dogs. I’m available for scheduled walks and drop-in visits during the day and can be flexible when bookings are planned in advance. I especially enjoy building a predictable routine with repeat clients, so recurring weekday walks or regular drop-ins are a great fit for me. I’m also happy to accommodate occasional vacation or one-time visits when my schedule allows. I care for pets in their own home by following their established routine as closely as possible. I pay attention to feeding instructions, potty routines, leash preferences, household rules, favorite toys, and any specific notes you leave for me. I take safety seriously, including securely closing doors and gates, checking leashes and harnesses before walks, and being mindful of the pet’s behavior and surroundings. I also respect your home and belongings and leave things as I found them. During each visit, I’ll provide attentive care, companionship, and clear updates with photos so you know how your pet is doing. I currently provide walks and drop-in visits only and do not administer medications.

About: Experienced. Compassionate. Dedicated to Your Dog. I’m a certified dog behaviorist with over 15 years of hands-on experience fostering, training, and caring for dogs of all backgrounds and needs. My experience includes basic to advanced training, puppies, special-needs dogs, working-line K9s, behavioral challenges, and so much more. I believe dogs thrive when they are given the right balance of structure, mental stimulation, physical activity, and comfort. During their stay, I focus on keeping each dog active, engaged, and happy while also creating a safe and comfortable environment where they can truly relax. My goal is simple: for every dog to return home happier, more confident, and better equipped than when they arrived. I treat every dog as an individual and tailor their care and training to their unique personality, needs, and goals. Because your dog deserves more than just a place to stay — they deserve an experience that helps them thrive. I’m a full-time dog trainer, which means I spend the majority of my time at home while caring for your pets. Your dog will receive hands-on attention, structure, and supervision throughout their stay. Every dog will have a minimum of three outings each day, including potty breaks, playtime, walks, and even some time soaking up the sun if that’s what they enjoy. I believe dogs should have the opportunity to stay active while also having time to relax and feel comfortable in their environment. I start by giving each dog individual one-on-one time so I can learn their personality, comfort level, and needs. Depending on your dog’s temperament and your preferences, they may also be paired with other dogs who are a good match. Group interaction is always based on the owner’s request and what is appropriate for each dog. Interested in park walks or additional outings during your dog’s stay? Please request this in advance. Park outings depend on the season, weather conditions, and whether the activity is appropriate for your individual dog. All outdoor activities are fully supervised. Your dog will also have a consistent daily routine, including scheduled meal times, potty breaks, activity, rest, and plenty of personal attention. For their protection and peace of mind, dogs are crated in their own individual, secure spaces during nighttime and any extended periods when they cannot be directly supervised. This helps prevent accidents, unwanted interactions, and unnecessary stress while maintaining a safe environment for every dog in my care. I also have interior security cameras throughout my home to provide an additional layer of supervision and security while your dog is staying with me.
