Dog Walkers in Elder, GA

“Riley had a great time with Destinee! He opened right up to her during the meet and greet and enjoyed spending time with her. He always looks forward to their walks and playtime!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was ten years old for neighbors and family. I have a bachelors in animal science from UGA and currently work in a local animal clinic for cats and dogs. This clinic offers regular and medical boarding and I am comfortable with animals in all stages of life as well as those that might require a little extra time and attention. I am CPR certified and have training to administer medications and fluids and monitor critically ill patients. I work Mondays-Thursday’s 7:30-6 and can be flexible with a lunch hour to provide for all types of needs. I am open all weekends and holidays. I have one sweet medium sized fur baby who is a shepherd mix, she is friendly with all sizes and breeds. I typically care for pets in a clients home as I find this can minimize stress related clinical signs from manifesting. I love to be active and can incorporate that into your high energy pets needs or can snuggle with your low energy pet and read a book. I monitor my dogs food and water intake closely and actively observe them when outside, I treat all my pet sitting babies the same as I would my own girl.

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: Dogs all have their own personalities, and I love getting to know each one. I’m great at reading body language and adjusting to what your dog needs, whether that’s space, extra patience, or all the cuddles. I also have experience with basic training and reinforcing good habits during walks and playtime, so your dog gets consistency and care. My goal is to make sure every tail wag is genuine and every pup feels safe, happy, and understood while you’re away. I currently work 8:00am to 5:00pm or 9:00am to 6:00pm depending on the day. I am not opposed to using my lunch break to check on pups either. So I'm there for your pups in the evening and on the weekends! In my home, dogs have free range of the downstairs area, with plenty of space to relax and play. Potty breaks are frequent and flexible, and I’m happy to bell-train if owners want that extra convenience. Since I have stairs, I can block them off for senior pups or dogs who aren’t comfortable using them. My neighborhood is very dog-friendly and walkable, so your pup will enjoy safe, regular walks and fresh air. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I adapt fully to your space and routine to keep your dog comfortable and stress-free. I follow your instructions closely, making sure feeding, walks, and playtime feel familiar, so your pet stays happy and secure even while you’re away.

About: I have been around animals my whole life and I love them! I have a 4 year old kitty named Bunny and she is everything to me. My best friend has a mini Australian shepherd that is very friendly and I love being around him. I also have watched my brother and sister in law’s dogs for 2 years now. They ranged from having 4-8 dogs at different points and I would love to go stay with them, feed them, and get to play with their fluffy selves! I am working limited hours at this time, so I am available weekdays 8 a.m.- 2 p.m. and 5:45 p.m.- 9 p.m., and also weekends any time! I will monitor the animals needs and be there in any way I am needed. I will take them outside as much as directed, feed them, make sure they have water, and love on them!

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life—ever since I was little, my family has always had a pup in the house! I know what it takes to keep our furry family members happy, healthy, and well cared for. From tiny Chihuahuas to giant Great Danes, I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I understand that every dog is unique, with different needs for exercise, attention, and care. Growing up with dogs, I’ve attended plenty of vet visits and know that our four-legged friends can sometimes get into mischief. I’m fully comfortable and confident in administering medications if needed. My family’s miniature schnauzer, Tucker, is a prime example—he’s always up to something, so I understand the importance of keeping a close eye on our pets. He’s also full of energy, and I love every minute of playing and engaging with him! With extensive pet-sitting experience, I know exactly what’s expected of me when entrusted with someone’s beloved pup. I treat every dog as if they were my own and would love the opportunity to meet and care for yours! I’m currently a freshman in college at UNG-Oconee hoping to transfer to UGA! That being said, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your furry friends—especially on weekends, when my schedule is much more open! I’m super flexible and always happy to work around scheduling conflicts to ensure your pets get the best care possible. Please don’t hesitate to reach out! I’d love the opportunity to meet and care for your pets, and I’m more than willing to work out any scheduling, timing, or pricing concerns to make it work! As I’ve mentioned before, I will treat your pets as if they were my own! Their safety, well-being, and happiness are my top priorities. I take great care to follow your instructions with respect and attention to detail, ensuring your pets are in the best hands while you’re away. With extensive pet-sitting experience for a variety of animals, I understand that every pet has its own unique routine and specific needs. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, exercise, or special care instructions, I am fully prepared to follow your pet’s routine to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable. From simple walks to multi-day check-ins, my approach remains the same—ensuring that your animals feel secure, cared for, and at ease in my presence. No matter the size or species, I have hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, from tiny chickens to towering horses. Whatever pet you entrust to me, you can rest assured that they will receive the highest level of care and attention! I will always keep you informed if any issues arise. I understand how much we love our pets, and if an emergency were to occur, I’d want to make sure you’re in the loop every step of the way. I’ll also send you regular updates and pictures of your pets, so you can see firsthand how well they’re being cared for! Plus, I have a knack for capturing the silliest, most adorable moments—they’re bound to bring a smile to your face!

About: I currently have a cat and a dog of my own, but I have always had at least one pet ever since I was a kid. I love working with dogs to train them, as well as spending lots of time cuddling and playing. I am comfortable grooming dogs. I love pets of all ages, but I have a soft spot for senior pets. I currently work as a caregiver all day Mondays and Tuesdays. I also draw and work on art a lot in my free time. I participate in various art markets and exhibitions throughout the year, but have a lot of free time aside from those days. I don't have a fenced in yard and I have a dog and a cat so I typically don't offer to host other pets at my home, but I am happy to spend some time with your pets in their own home where they should feel the most comfortable. I can take dogs on long or short walks, take them to a dog park, or just spend time with them at your house. I can bathe, brush, play, and cuddle your dogs. I am not a certified trainer, but I can work on simple commands and behavior modification. It's up to you how you prefer I help take care of your pet!

“Kelley did a great job for us. Wrangled two dogs for us on a walk and fed them too. Would recommend her and will book her again. Thanks Kelley!”

“Wow, just Amazing! Olivia was attentive and followed directions to a T. She was extremely diligent and gave my sweet boy extra lovings. He really enjoyed her company and we are so happy to know that we will MOST DEFINITELY be using Olivia again very soon! If your hesitant about a dog sitter, OLIVIA IS YOUR GIRL!!!”

“Megan has been great with my dog! My dog is wary of new people and needs slow introduction and she has been fantastic at reading his signals and going at his pace.”

“Alexia is wonderful! As my dog can be skittish, she met Riley first. She asked lots of questions about taking care of my dog, questions I hadn’t even thought of. Alexia was patient, attentive and loving. I would certainly have Alexia take care of my dog again.”

About: After the passing of my senior dog, Fezzik, I felt the need to share my care for pets with others in my community. With experience volunteering at animal shelters and caring for senior animals, I can be the attentive caregiver your furry companion needs! I currently am starting my career in online teaching and content creation, which means I work from home and have a flexible schedule. With frequent walks already built into my schedule, I am a good fit for pets of any activity level! I live in a gated community with ample space for leashed walks and time in the grass for pets who are boarding. I maintain a clean, second-story apartment which includes a balcony and dog bed. I have my own transportation for at-home visits as well.

About: I am an absolute dog lover and Rover lover! After I graduated from UGA in 2018, the first thing I did was purchase my own puppy, and she has been worth every sacrifice. Rover has helped me out so much while I have been moving between houses, and would be honored to give back by being a sitter. I am married and work full time, but am flexible as to whether I am working at home or in the office, and my husband is available to switch off with me as needed. My dog is very gentle, and loves play when with a good buddy. I am also a runner, so if your dog is high-energy, I will gladly take it for a good run (Yes- even if they want to yank my arm off)! I am diligent about taking puppies out to use the restroom. I understand (from experience) what it takes to house-train a puppy, and how important consistency is. I have a very flexible job, and already spend a lot of time with my own dog. Adding another in the mix would just be more fun for Mal Pal and I! Currently, I do three walks: morning, afternoon, and evening. I try not to leave dogs for longer than and hour if I need to leave the home while pet-sitting. When I am gone, pups stay in their crates.

About: I have lived on a farm my whole life with dogs, cats, donkeys, horses, goats, chickens, ducks, bunnies, and more. I have always lived in a household that has three or more dogs and cats at the same time, so I am used to tending to, caring for, and loving dozens of animals at a time. Because of my experience on the farm, I have been taking care of all types of animals since I could walk and started officially pet sitting in middle school, taking up jobs ever since. I absolutely adore dogs and cats of all ages and have taken care of various breeds, ages, and upbringings. Pets are a part of the family, and I will ensure that they are treated as such. I am currently in Athens for college, so I am very flexible to petsit most mornings, afternoons, and nights. Other than a few days exceptions, I am ready to take care of dogs and cats at any time of any day! Since I have grown up with dogs and cats, I am very well versed in how to interact and play with, feed, and take care of said pets. I love spending time with animals, so they will get all the love and care they would be missing while my client is out of the house.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover and pre-veterinary student who’s passionate about providing the best care possible for every pet. I am currently also working as a veterinary assistant while I apply to vet school:) I share my home with two wonderful pups (a crazy terrier and a sweet lab mix), and 3 sweet kitties (a senior and 2 younger rescues), so I understand how different every pet’s personality and needs can be. From playful puppies to senior dogs who may need medications or just a little extra patience and care, I have hands-on experience making sure each pet feels happy, healthy, and loved. Before becoming a vet assistant, I worked as a kennel technician and doggy daycare attendant, and I grew up as the designated dog-sitter for neighbors and friends. Those experiences taught me how to make every pet feel safe and comfortable, whether we’re out on a walk, playing, or just relaxing together. Your dog will always be cared for like my own, with love, attention, and expert knowledge of their health and behavior. While dogs and cats are more my specialty, I’ve also cared for a variety of my own exotic pets over the years, including birds, rabbits, reptiles, and fish, so your whole crew will be in good hands with me! I’m a student with relatively flexible afternoons, evenings, and weekends, which makes it easy for me to stop by for walks, playtime, or check-ins. During the week, I’m available most afternoons and evenings and some mornings, and my weekend is usually very flexible depending on my work schedule. Your pets’ safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With my background as a veterinary assistant, I’m trained to recognize signs of stress or illness and handle pets safely and calmly in any situation. I will always follow your instructions closely, whether it’s feeding routines, medication schedules, or favorite walking routes, I aim to keep things consistent and stress-free for your fur-babies. I will treat your space with the same respect I give my own, making sure your pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I take extra care with doors, gates, and leashes to ensure everyone stays safe. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pets are in loving, capable hands while you’re away.

About: Hey! I’m Savannah! I’m 19 years old, I just graduated from esthetician school and now working as a solo esthetician in athens. From birth I’ve always been surrounded by dogs from Dobermans to Pomeranians. I’ve always had a huge heart for animals, especially dogs, and I’d love to help care for yours while you’re away. I have recently gotten three kittens and have fallen in love with cats now. As someone trained in both skincare and healthcare, (from lifeguarding growing up) I know how important it is to be detail oriented, compassionate, and trustworthy. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, giving your pup extra snuggles, or going on energy burning walks, I’m committed to giving your fur baby the love and attention they deserve. Let me know your animals needs, routines, quirks, and I’ll take care of them like they’re my own. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Let’s set up a meet and greet! I’d love to get to know you and your fur baby! I’m currently working part-time as a licensed esthetician but have plenty of time to work around any days you would need! I would be available mostly during the week and holidays! When pets stay with me, they become part of the family! I create a calm, cozy, and pet safe environment where they can feel comfortable, loved, and secure. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I adjust to their pace and needs.

About: I have been providing excellent care to pets ever since I got my first dog at 5 years old. Since then, I have cared for multiple neighbors' and friends' pets. I am eager to return to pet-sitting and provide excellent care to your pets! I am a student and musician with a lot of time dedicated to those activities, meaning a more conventional job can be hard to maintain. Therefore, I am interested in taking a couple hours each day to get out and take care of your pets! I don't have any pets at home, so your pets will not be having to deal with any other unfamiliar characters in their lives aside from me and my two pet-loving roommates.

“Lindsay was great.”

About: I recently graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in Animal Science. I currently work full time as a vet assistant, where I care for dogs and cats alongside veterinarians. I also have years of experience working in a kennel taking care of various species, and have been pet sitting for years. I’ve fostered dozens of kittens, and have had so many animals of my own. I absolutely can't wait to work with you and your pets! I’m currently a full time vet assistant where I work 10 hour days. I do get an hour lunch where I can take care of the pets if needed at that time! Just let me know your pet’s routine and how you like for them to be cared for! I can do whatever works best for you and them.
