About: Hi! Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From high-energy puppies to slow-paced seniors, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities — each one with their own quirks and needs. Whether your pup needs daily walks, playtime in the yard, belly rubs, medication, or a consistent routine while you’re away, I’ve got you covered. I’m confident, calm, and attentive — and I always treat pets like they’re my own. I understand how hard it can be to leave your dog behind, so I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, an overnight stay, or a week of care, I’m here to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. Let’s make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and at home — even when you’re not. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to your pets — whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Because I’m not tied to a full-time job, I’m able to adjust my availability based on each pet’s needs. I make sure to build my day around their routines, so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for — just like they would with you. Whether it’s one-on-one playtime, regular feeding schedules, or keeping up with medications, I take the time to make sure everything runs smoothly. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that feels familiar and comforting. In your home: I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding and walk times to their favorite spots to nap. I keep everything clean, secure, and consistent, so your pet feels relaxed while you’re away. I’m happy to water plants, bring in mail, and keep you updated with regular photos and messages. In my home: I offer a pet-safe, cozy space where your dog (or cat, depending on needs) will get one-on-one attention and feel like part of the family. I maintain a clean environment with plenty of play, rest, and cuddle time. If your pet has special needs or routines, I’m happy to accommodate them — from crate training to medication schedules. No matter where the care happens, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, affection, and full attention to their emotional and physical well-being.

About: I have had pets my whole entire life. If you can name it I’ve probably owned it. That includes large dogs and numerous cats. I enjoy animals and will make sure your pet is so loved while you are away. I am very open this summer to pet/house sit. I will ensure that there is time built out of my days and weeks to allow proper care to your pet and whatever their needs may be. I can be flexible and come when needed. In my clients home I will ensure the pets feel loved and are comfortable. I know different animals have different levels of needs and I will ensure that all of those are met. I will love your pet as my own and will try and make sure they don’t miss you too much while you’re away!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cats of every kind ever since I was about 8 years old. I also grew up on a farm near cows/horses/chickens. I have a very big heart for animals and it is very rewarding to me working with animals and gaining their trust and their owners trust! I’m currently doing freelance work on the side, so I have a lot of availability! I can do every day as long as I have a notice! I have a cat and a dog. They are both on schedules to eat. For my dog, I take her out 3 times a day and give her crate time about 5 hours a day.

About: I grew up with pets and have never lived without them. I pet sat when I was younger and have since done it occasionally for friends and family. I just moved to the Athens area and am looking for some supplemental work. I am available for house sitting as well. I take work seriously and am very hard working and detailed oriented. I live in Athens from the end of October through the start of May. I am available throughout the week and weekends. I am not a student here anymore so classes and partying do not take up any of my time. I have 2 indoor cats and a bearded dragon. One of our cats requires some special attention with medicine and over grooming monitoring. Whatever needs your pets have I will work hard to meet them! As far as house sitting goes I am also readily available. If your house needs anything fixed or done I have a number of skills to help you out! I do renovations and all kinds of work on the house I am living in so as part of the house sitting deal I can make something like that work.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a Garden dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Garden.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
