About: Hi! I am a student and football player at Furman University. I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up around dogs of all sizes and personalities. Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them attention and comfort. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. I’m currently home for the month of May from college. I love being active and working out is a huge part of my daily life. Throughout the month I will sporadically be doing some shadowing in the Wealth Management space. My schedule is basically wide open and I plan to fill a lot of that time by caring for pets. I’m happy to walk your dog for as long as needed, and I also enjoy doing drop-in visits. I take pride in making sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and in good hands.

Erica is AMAZING. She is so good with our dog and definitely keeps him active! She really maintains our training regimen and enforces what we’ve been working on with the dog. She’s our new go-to for walks and exercise!

Jordan did a great job in taking care of my fur baby. She left me detailed notes and cleaned up a mess that my dog left behind when she didn’t have to. Would definitely recommend and will use her again.

About: I work from home and would love an excuse to get up from my desk and what better excuse than to get some puppy and dog cuddles while also getting exercise by walking. I currently have a corporate work from home job that requires me to be at a desk. This type of schedule fits into my routine because it allows me to visit pets before starting work, at lunch or breaks, and also after work. My schedule is very flexible that I can meet you where you need it. I am very detail oriented and a huge pet lover at heart so when I am visiting your house, I respect the house rules and follow instructions to a T. I also am very high energy due to ADHD and am a great partner for fetch and walks.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in high school. I have looked after both young and older dogs caring after all of them as if they were my own. A little more than a year ago I got my first puppy, so I also have learned a lot about caring after puppies and providing plenty of walks and entertainment, to ensure they are cared after and happy. Im currently working part time, therefore I have availability most days of the weeks for drop in visits or for taking plenty of dog walks. I live close to the park , I take my own dog on various walks daily to ensure she is active and has plenty of time to go potty. I do the same activities for every and any dog that I am looking after. I take them long walks (according to their ability) and I always look out for them to ensure their safety!

About: I've taken care about my pet dog since I was 6 years old. After that I kept taking care of my friend's, neighbors' pets. They relied on me to walk their dogs, to look after their cats. I also can take care of horses. Since I've been doing horse riding for four years at the age of 16. I'm currently working part-time. Moreover, my hours are flexible, hence I can walk your pups almost at anytime! Usually it's better to let me know in advance. But in case of any emergencies I also will be able to help you! I live in a private house. I have no pets so far. So I can spend time with your pets fully. I love active walks.

About: I was pre-vet in college, which is where my love for dogs began. I have since been training dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes over the past 5+ years! I have handled wild ones, tame ones, spicy ones and old ones and I love them all like they’re my own! I can be very very flexible most days, sometimes, with same day availability, so don’t hesitate to ask! I’m most open every other Monday, every Friday-Sunday, but most other days, I’ve got flexibility- I am mostly a stay at home mom, so I’ll just need a little heads up to drop my kid off with a sitter 😊 I have a fenced in yard and a garage that I pull in to so when transporting, the dog is never free roaming. I always transport dogs in crash- tested crates, to be extra safe and I have a room in my home, specifically for crating and rotating dogs!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Absolutely Fantastic Dog Walker Molly has been incredible with my dog, Draco. She is reliable, caring, and always goes above and beyond to make sure he’s happy, exercised, and well-looked-after. Draco absolutely loved his time with her, and it gave me total peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands each day. Her communication has always been excellent—updates, pictures, and notes that showed she truly cared. Even on busy days or last-minute changes, she was flexible and professional. I’m genuinely grateful for everything she’s done for us. Atlanta is lucky to have her, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate dog walker. Thank you again for everything…you will be missed!
