Dog Sitting in Locust Grove

About: I have taken care of family and friends’s dogs before. I own a 9mo old male doberman and I’ve taken care of him since he was 2 months old. I potty trained him and we run over a mile every weekday when the weather allows. I used to take care of my mom’s senior schnauzer who used to have frequent seizures during his last year of life. I gave him his medicine and we used to walk twice a day. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to spend with and to take care of your fur babies. I am mostly available during the weekends and weekdays after 5pm. I might also have some weekdays off, based on my week’s schedule. I have a male 1y/o Dobbie who is very friendly and playful. When in home I can take the dogs to the dog park. Typically, I take the dogs to the dog park 3 times a day. We play and cuddle together on the sofa.

“Amanda was absolutely amazing. She was given really short notice but was an absolute life saver. Will definitely use her services more this summer! Thank you Amanda!!!!”

About: What sets me apart is my calm, low-stress home where I host max 2 compatible dogs at once. Perfect for anxious, selective, or reactive pups who need peace over chaos. I also offer solo-stay pricing for dogs who need to block my second spot. My experience shines with senior dogs (gentle mobility support, meds) and high-energy mediums (structured play without overwhelming them). I work from home so I'm very flexible. I'm available during the day for walks/drop-ins/daycare, evenings/weekends for boarding. Dogs are family here; my routine revolves around their comfort. I don’t have any pets of my own currently. I have a nice size fenced yard and I love taking pups on long walks in my neighborhood or at the local dog park if possible. You can also book my backyard on Sniffspot!

“Emily helped us in the past with house-sitting, and for this booking, she came over for multiple walks and drop-ins over the weekend while we were out of town. We greatly appreciated the clear communication, consistency, and updates with pictures. It was a relief to know that Zeus was well cared for while we were away. I know Zeus cannot wait for another visit with her soon.”

About: Hi! I’m a Rachel and i am a caring animal lover who enjoys spending time with pets, making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away.

About: I specialize in dogs that need a little extra grace and a lot of patience, but I also love a social butterfly! I know firsthand that not every dog is an easy walker; having raised a reactive dog and managed the 'pulling power' of a Great Dane and a Lab, I have the confidence to handle any situation. ​For social pups, I love encouraging their friendly nature and ensuring they get plenty of positive interaction. I am very observant of canine body language and use consistent treat training to keep every walk safe and fun. Whether your dog is a social socialite who loves making friends or a sensitive soul who needs a sitter who truly 'gets' reactivity, I provide a calm, confident environment tailored specifically to them. Pet care is a staple of my daily routine! While I work a standard 9-to-6 business day 5 days of the week, I am wide awake and ready to go for those early 5:00 AM or 6:00 AM morning walks. Your pup will get plenty of exercise and attention before I head out, and I’m back in the evenings for more play, dinner, and potty breaks until 10:00 PM. I specialize in house-sitting and recurring schedules, ensuring your pets have a consistent best friend to look forward to every morning and night. Whether I’m staying at your place or visiting for a drop-in, your pets are treated like family. My approach combines physical exercise with mental engagement—I love incorporating short, positive training sessions into our day to keep their minds sharp. They’ll get plenty of 'tummy rub' downtime and scheduled feedings, but they’ll also get the structure and play they need to stay happy and tired out. Your dog won't just be watched; they’ll be active, engaged, and thoroughly spoiled.

“Brandie did a wonderful job taking care of my disabled senior pup and my two kitties. She sent great updates and pictures. I would absolutely trust Brandie to watch my pets again. Thank you Brandie!”

“Alecia had been taking care of Lucy since she was 3 months old and Lucy is now 3 years. Lucy sees her as her “other mom” and I couldn’t be happier with her service. Alecia is attentive and beyond caring. Please don’t hesitate to book her”

“Thank you for all your help you did so great with my precious Hank!”

About: After recently relocating from Dallas, I’m excited to bring more than 30 years of pet-care experience to my new community. Back in Dallas, I ran an in-home pet-boarding business for a full decade, caring for pets of every breed, size, and personality. Over the years, I’ve also fostered countless dogs through local rescue programs, helping shy, senior, and special-needs pups find their confidence — and their forever homes. However, my experience goes far beyond cuddles and playtime. I’m skilled at administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, and I'm comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to aging companions who need a little extra TLC. I believe every animal deserves calm, consistent care that keeps their routine — and their spirits — steady while their people are away. I'm a writer/editor that works remotely, and I have a stay-at-home dog dad to hang with my personal fur kids while I'm away. Point is, I have the a ton of flexibility. I care for your pets just as YOU care for your pets. That is, you set their schedule (feeding, bedtime, play, etc.), and I carry it out while you're away.

About: I have taken care of dogs ranging from 10 pounds to 160 pounds my entire life. I have owned chihuahua dachshund mix, akitas, huskies, and German shepherds; so I understand big breeds as well as smaller ones. I have helped family members and neighbors with their dogs growing up with house sitting and dog walking. I know how important furbabies are to families, and treat each and every one as I would my own. I currently work full time with every other Monday off. I go to work about 7 am and get home about 430 pm. I do have volleyball leagues on Monday Wednesday and Friday nights that I am gone for 2 hours between 6-11pm as it varies based on game time. I love to hike and be outside so taking the dogs for walks a non issue. I treat all furbabies as if they were my own. I adjust my schedule accordingly to accommodate the animals as best as I can. I have given insulin shots and medication to animals and am comfortable with it.

“Lindsey was reliable and great with our “son”!! Sent us plenty of pics and gave him nice walks. Would definitely hire again.”

About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs and currently live in a household with four cats. I have worked at a veterinary clinic for well over 3 years now, so I am comfortable administering medications including liquids, pills and injections. I am knowledgeable about common pet conditions and illnesses as well. I currently work full time but I do go in late/get off early several days during the week plus I don't work Thursdays and only half a day every other Saturday. I will happily take care of your pets days I don't work or before and after my shifts! This of course wouldn't be my first time petsitting in someone else's home that I didn't know well, so I know there are boundaries that are necessary to respect and would never do anything that you have not allowed ahead of time.

“Meredith was great! Very responsive, professional and super knowledgeable. Bodhi loved her a she gave him lots of cuddles and took great care of him. 10/10”

“Hailey was wonderful! After another sitter fell through last minute, she was able to help us with only a couple hours notice. She gave us updates and pictures every visit and even gave our Kona a bath. She was also able to get Kya to go outside without a leash. I’m so glad we found her!”

“Brooklynn was amazing with my babies! Lots of play time and pictures. She was very communicative with me and gave them lots of loving. Highly recommend!”

About: I've been dog sitting since covid; things have changed but not the love for animals. Since my start I've dog sat for a wide varity of dogs. Puppies, oldies, big, small. Some requiring a lot of attention to help distract them, some that just sit by the door waiting for their pawrents to come home. From medications to special diets, specific schedules and give attention if you have the extra time. I will treat your dog as my own! Something you can count on is they will be loved and well taken care of. Pet care is my top priority. Making sure they are fed on time and they get plenty of play time and walks while you are gone. I do currently work but my schedule is constantly changing so I have a lot of freedom to change it as needed. I unfortunately can't accept pets into my home as I don't currently live alone. But I'm more than willing to stay over whenever you need me to.
