About: My love for animals began at a very young age, but to pin point, it would be 2006 when I brought my labrador retriever named Jasmine home. I grew up learning how to train and take care of Jasmine, and then a chunky pug Tony, two bunnies and three cats. In more recent years, my husband and I have our own family, a 7 year old golden retriever named Aspen, a 5 year old black cat named Kona, a 3 year old siamese mix, a 2 year old black cat named Peter and a one year old golden retriever named Magnolia! Friends have relied on me to walk, feed, play with and bathe their pets for 15+ years. I am available Monday through Friday from 9am-8pm for drop-ins and walks. But I am always willing to negotiate with you for you and your pets needs! *** Cat boarding drop off/pick up hours are 8am-8pm Mon-Sun YOU WILL BE CHARGED A $25 FEE FOR LATE PICK UP! NO EXCEPTIONS! *** In regards to cat boarding, we have an entire basement closed off to our pets so your feline friends are safe and comfortable. Water/food bowls, toys, a cat tree and a litter box will be provided. I understand the time and attention any pet needs, but especially cats and dogs. I can’t wait to meet your dog or cat and understand their personality as well as their needs!
About: My love for dogs span over 50 years. As a young girl I’ve always nurtured my pets as well as others. Now as and adult having my own provides me an opportunity to extend care, love and attention to other fur babies. I offer flexibility that can fit into a day, weekly, or evening routine. I have one fur baby who loves companionship sothere is plenty of toys and things to do while he is in my home. In addition, my family loves animals so they offer plenty of hugs and attention as well. My yard is big yard with a deck and fenced in backyard offering plenty of space to run around and sun bathe. My neighborhood is quiet offering peaceful walks several times a day.
About: Lifetime of experience with dogs and cats, 5 years of furster care for puppies (training, love, and preparing them for their forever homes), and puppy love. I work full time, but making sure they start and end their day with love is important. Walks in the evening and weekend adventures are options. I have a fenced in yard for watching my parents animals. My own never miss a day of snuggles and play. If your furbaby stays at my home it will need to be cat friendly and would be safe downstairs where there is plenty of room to play. Giving all animals a safe space.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I started helping my mom at a humane society when I was around 13, where we fostered kittens until they were ready to be adopted. That’s where I really learned patience and how to care for animals with different needs and personalities. I’ve grown up with pets my whole life-dogs, cats, and reptiles, so I’m very comfortable with everyday care like feeding, routines, and paying attention to behavior. I also currently work in animal care and as a photographer at Wag Atl (Doggy daycare. It’s given me a lot of hands-on experience and made me really confident handling our fluffy friends. I know every pet is different, so I try to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I'm very passionate about animals, I just love dogs and take their care very seriously so I would love to sit with your pets! I currently do work full time with a doggy daycare; my off days are Tuesday/Wednesday. But I am available every day of the week, as long as you are comfortable with an 8-hour workday in between care. I can stay with your fluffy friends through the night, no problem! And of course provide walks/potty breaks/playtime! When caring for my your pets I keep it similar to how i treat my own animals unless called for otherwise. I regularly take them out on walks and potty breaks, play time is a must and I like to keep a strict eye on the pet to make sure they're safe and sound at all times. I will always keep in contact with you and give regular updates in pictures of how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve cared for dogs through every stage of life, from raising puppies to supporting senior dogs with medical needs. My last dog was with me for 15 years and eventually became blind-she was also epileptic, so I’m very comfortable with patience, medication routines, senior care, and providing calm, attentive support to anxious or aging pets. I currently have a well-socialized 2-year-old Mini Schnauzer that I raised from 8 weeks old, so I understand the importance of structure, consistency, exercise, and positive interaction. As a retired military veteran, I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and home full time, which means pets in my care receive a lot of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m retired and home full time. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, medication support if needed, and lots of supervision throughout the day. Because I don’t have children or a demanding work schedule, I’m able to give pets consistent attention and maintain a calm, low-stress environment. In my home, pets have access to a safe, calm environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and potty breaks. I also have a friendly 2-year-old Mini Schnauzer who enjoys the company of other dogs. I follow each pet owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, routines, medications, crate preferences, and exercise needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when they’re away from their owners. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible while also making sure they receive attention, affection, exercise, and attentive care.

About: I currently am a high volume spay/neuter veterinarian assistant which includes surgical prep for 10 hours - 4 days out of my week. Along with this, I have 4 years of doggie daycare/walking behavioral experience, and two additional years of shelter medicine experience where I’ve had to vaccinate and help doctors examine animals with many different temperaments. On weekends I like to focus less on the medical and more on the personality of animals which includes walks, running at parks, car rides, dog pools and lots of treats. I will have full conversations with your fur babies because I 100% know they understand what I’m saying. I will treat them like my own and respect their boundaries and yours. My goal is to build a consistent routine with the same clients. I’ve seen the good, the bad, & the ugly in my years of experience in shelters where we took in untrained animals and helped find their personality.

“Alice was absolutely amazing! I had a last-minute need for someone to care for my dogs, Pharaoh and CiCi, and she stepped in without hesitation. From the start, she was responsive, professional, and incredibly kind. Most importantly, she followed instructions and took exceptional care of both of my dogs and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Pharaoh and CiCi were happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pets on short notice, but Alice exceeded my expectations. I’m so grateful for her flexibility and the genuine care she showed my babies. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”

I live in a very close-knit neighborhood with a three-story house and a small-sized backyard. The neighborhood is large that breaks off into different sections for great walking opportunities. Due to renting the house, we don't have a fence since we've lived here, but I do stay very close to my animals that are under my care.
