Maggie did a great job walking our two dogs. She is responsive to requests, arrives on time, and our dogs (Husky and Maltese) were comfortable around her. She demonstrated good experience interacting with our dogs and taking them on their walks. We won't hesitate to use her again as our future walking needs arise.

About: Growing up, we always had a pet in the home, and I was raised under the belief that our pets are members of the family. I have extensive experience living and caring for both dogs and cats, and I welcome the opportunity to look after your pooch or kitty! I work full-time at the Gilmer County Courthouse, but my schedule is fairly flexible throughout the week. Of course, on weekends I’m even more flexible. I usually prefer house sitting (but am open for dog walking and drop-in visits, as well as boarding) for folks and make sure to read any provided instructions multiple times!

I have had dogs in my life since I was born and i definitely cannot live without one! I have a degree and a cosmetology license!

I care for my personal dogs by having a fenced in yard and play with them a couple times a day. They get fed twice a day morning and night on as best of a routine and time frame i can do everyday. I have a service dog in training so he comes to a lot of places with me and he is a rescue!

Katirna was a lifesaver when we needed a walker while visiting Blue Ridge for a wedding. She was so sweet and patient with our senior dog to the point where she took him out twice just to accommodate his slow walking. We highly recommend her to anyone living or visiting this area!

I really should just pay you for the pictures you take instead of the dog walking! 🤣 they’re hilarious & crack me up! Thank you for taking such great care of my fur baby. It brings me so much relief to know she’s having fun and in good hands, while I’m at work.

About: My name is Charity and I am a reliable and responsible dog sitter and walker. I absolutely love all animals, ESPECIALLY dogs and I tend to get along with them very well. I have been dog sitting for close friends for about a year now and am ready to open up for more people. I am currently working a part time job at and am looking for ways to make a little extra money on my free time and spend time with my favorite furry animals. I will follow any requests such as feeding, playtime, or potty requests. It is a top priority of mine to follow all directions from the dog owner while also giving the dog the love and attention they need.

About: I’ve always had dogs at home, up to three at once! Most all raised and trained from puppy stages. I had a disabled dog recently who lost usage of her back legs and was incompetent. She required lots of help and being carried around but was a sweetheart. Currently I have eight geckos as well as two snakes, a skink, two cats (mostly outdoor) and one dog. My dogs name is Luna, she’s almost two years old, deaf and mentally special but as friendly as can be! (Several rooms for separation of my dog if needed as well as my crate. So far she gets along well with others) My current weekly routine is as follows: Monday: Feed Cats and Dog x2, feed and mist geckos Tuesday: Feed cats and dog x2 Wednesday: Feed cats and dogs x2, feed and mist geckos, feed skink, feed hognose Thursday: Feed cats and dog x2 Friday: Feed cats and dog x2, feed and most geckos Saturday: Feed cats and dog x2, feed skink Sunday: Feed cats and dog x2 Feed and mist geckos Saturday I go out about every hour and a half for potty breaks. I do not have a fence but I have a large pasture as well as lots of leads. I’m willing to walk for hours with your pet on a leash! I have one friendly pup to keep yours company and I have a spare room. I have the ability to crate my dog and space for a crate for yours if provided. We go out after every food and water break, get lots of cuddles and extra play time!

About: I have only ever cared for certain dogs for very short intervals of time. I care for my personal dog, which is a yorkshire terrier/poodle mix, and he is a small dog under 15 pounds. I have walked a few dogs before that were of medium and big size. I am a very caring person and love dogs of every breed. I only want the very best for your furry companions because I would want the same for mine. I am hoping to gain a lot of experience from pet sitting and hope that you consider me a good fit as your sitter. I do not have any special skills, I just really love dogs and want to spend my spare time having a ton of fun with them. Thank you. I work 3 12 hour shifts per week from 7pm-7am so I am available on my days off for drop ins and walks! I prefer a notice a couple of weeks in advance if booking an overnight stay so I am hopefully able to tweak my work schedule. Thanks! My dog sleeps in the bed with my husband and I and is free to roam around the house during the day. I will care for your dog however you prefer.

About: I’ve had many years of experience with pets of all sizes! I’ve done dog walking, drop in visits, overnight in home boarding, and am experienced in administering medications. Feel free to message me to see if I’m the right fit for your family. I currently have a very flexible schedule and can do drop in visits easily throughout the day as needed or in home care for your pet. I have a bottom floor condo with an unfenced yard. I take my own dog out leashed throughout the day. There’s a bigger yard area for your pet to exercise while leashed, plenty of woods to sniff along, and lots of fun routes for walks throughout the neighborhood.

About: I've always loved taking care of animals and have been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. I truly enjoy making sure pets are happy, healthy, and well loved whether that means feeding, walking, or just spending quality time with them. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and small animals, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I spend a lot of time at the dog park with my own dogs, especially my high energy pup who needs plenty of exercise and playtime. I understand how important it is for active dogs to burn off energy in a fun and safe environment, and I bring that same care and attention to every pet I look after. I'm a school photographer, which means I work seasonally and have a pretty flexible schedule for most of the year. This allows me to be available for pet sitting, especially during off-peak months. I’m reliable, love animals, and happy to help care for your pets when you need it! When pet sitting, I prioritize safety by carefully following any instructions you provide, keeping pets in secure environments, and making sure they’re never left unattended in risky situations. I build trust through consistent routines, gentle care, and regular updates to pet parents. I also create a calm, familiar environment by maintaining pets’ daily schedules, offering plenty of affection, and ensuring they feel at home even when you’re away.

Whether it be in the fence or on a leash, in the public or in the private. I go directly based on the instructions I get left from the peoples pets I am sitting. Every pet is different.
