Dog Walkers in Greenough, GA

About: When I was young, I would visit my grandparents' farm and help my grandfather take care of his goats by preparing bottles of milk and feeding them to the kids. I also grew up with a dog named Merlin, but he unfortunately passed away too soon after eating a poisonous sago palm seed. His sudden death was one of the reasons why I decided to get a B.S. degree in Animal Sciences. Some other pets of mine included a pair of hamsters and guinea pigs. Throughout high school and college, I have helped my neighbors and friends by caring for their four-legged family members while they were out of town. I have even cared for some sheep and chickens during graduate school. Currently, I volunteer with Rescue Pals Inc., which is a nonprofit, foster-based animal rescue organization headquartered in Buford. With this organization, I get to help dogs of all ages, from playful and curious 8-week-old puppies to sweet and loyal seniors, find their "furever" homes. I work full-time, but I make sure your pet receives personalized attention, consistent routines, and lots of enrichment throughout the day. I try to adapt to your pet’s specific schedule, medication needs, or energy level. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or simply providing companionship and supervision, I’m fully available and dedicated to making your pet feel safe and loved. Your Pet’s Safety is My Priority I make sure to follow all your instructions carefully, whether it’s about feeding, medication, or specific routines. I want your pet to feel as safe and comfortable as possible while you're away! I double-check doors, windows, and gates to ensure your pet stays safe and secure in your home. I’m also cautious about walks and outdoor time—always using a leash when needed and avoiding any risky situations. Respecting Your Home and Privacy Your home is your sanctuary, and I treat it with the same care I’d give my own. I always follow your guidelines on where I can go and what I can use. You’ll never have to worry about me leaving a mess! I keep everything tidy, and I’ll only use the spaces you’ve told me are okay. I believe communication is key, so I’ll send you regular updates, photos, and videos to help you feel connected to your pet while you’re away. Creating a Calm, Comfortable Environment Your pet’s routine is so important to me, so I stick to their usual schedule as much as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I’m a calm, patient presence, especially for pets that may be a little nervous or have special needs. I’ll give them plenty of love, playtime, and gentle care. Whether it’s extra snuggles, mental stimulation, or just quiet time, I’m all about making sure your pet feels at ease and loved.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was fourteen and have experience taking care of elderly, special needs, and young animals. I am a dog person at heart, but I love all animals and want you to feel assured while at work or out of town that I will take care of your pet. I work split shifts and have a flexible schedule where I can come home often on days that I work to let pets out and stretch their legs. I love playing with animals and make sure they have the attention they need while you are away. While at my home my dog Buddy loves other animals and will help them feel welcome.

About: I've taken responsibility over many pets, from cats to dogs to chickens even ducks. I worked for a vet for a year when I was 15. I do currently work full time however, I can take care of any needs prior to work or after. I am very thorough in what I do and animals are my passion. I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 48 chickens (chicks on the way), 2 parakeets and my mom works in wildlife rehab so I help there too. Pet care fits into my daily routine by starting out with a nice break outside for the pets to potty then fresh water and feed each day with a thorough look over for any messes. I strive for a clean and healthy environment for my lovelys! (Potty breaks through the day!) As for pets in my home, I start the same way as per usual with a morning potty break, going through to make sure any messes are gone as well. I give them fresh food and water, being sure to thoroughly clean the bowl for water and being sure the amount of food for them is exactly as directed! Also, as many potty breaks or outside time as needed!!

About: I have volunteer experience for 3 years at my aunts vet . I would walk, groom, feed, and play with the dogs. The job was amazing, no dog left unhappy! I am a full time worker, my schedule does not extend the whole day. I only work 4-5 days out the week. I am a full time student with classes online. I care for all the pets the same. Each pet will get the best treatment. I treat as if their my own. Especially special needed dogs. If there are instructions on what a pet needs or can not have, it will be followed through and taking seriously. I go by the owners schedule.

“Timothy was great with my dog. They went for a walk and played in the yard for a bit. My dog was very excited to see Timothy. I will definitely use him again.”

About: I am very attentive with animals, organized, on time, and currently looking for some extra ways to earn a little more cash. I’ll make sure any requests you have are done the way you wish. I can feed, play, walk, and give any medications to your pet if necessary. If you have a usual walking route you like taking i’d be more than willing to comply. I’ve been around dogs long enough to know your basic dos and don’ts. I’m only available on weekends preferably mornings, unless you request ahead of time (no guarantees). please let me know if you have anything specific i should know about your pet thanks you :) I am looking forward to spending a small part of my day with your fur babies :) I currently work full-time, but have more than enough time on my hands on weekends and some weekdays depending on my schedule for the week. I love being around animals, they heal my heart especially after my dog passed last year. I truly desire some kitty or puppy love in my life. I live in a quite duplex apartment complex. I have a genuine love for animals, can follow directions, crate if needed, give medications, and entertain your babies for some time.
