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!”

About: Former Executive and mom with a passion for pets. Leaving your pet can be stressful for you and your pet. Rest assured that your pet and home will be well cared for while you are away. You will find I am reliable, communicative, and professional. My daily schedule is very flexible with availability seven days a week. Multiple visits per day and multiple pets are welcome. I can work with nearly any pet schedule and can ususally accept bookings with 1 day advance notice. My goal is always to set my clients' minds at ease while they are away. It can be stressful on pets and pet owners to be separated which is why I am sure to communicate regularly, keep to the agreed upon schedule and give lots of love to your pets while you're away.
About: Our family has always been animal lovers. We have had lots of different types. I absolutely adore spending time with pets and being the one that families rely on for their furry family members. I am a full-time teacher at an elementary school. I am more than happy to check in on furry friends before and after school, as well as in the evening. I am very flexible and also reliable. I am a very good communicator and want to make sure everyone is comfortable when working together. Spending time with my furry friends are the best part of my day. I am very trustworthy and will always give your pets the love they deserve!
“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.”

“Dorothy is the best! I moved recently and needed someone right away for my fur baby. I appreciate how she communicates during her time with my dog. Dorothy is reliable and loves my chocolate Labrador Retriever. He loves her as well!”

“Nataly was so great with our puppy! He’s been a little mischievous and escaping from his crate and Nataly was so accommodating! Very grateful to have her to give him some exercise”

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!
“Our dog loves Morgan and looks forward to his walks. Morgan is easy t work with and communicates very well. Knowing he is getting his midday walks from a caring person makes all the difference.”

“I know my baby is in good hands when Samantha comes to walk him! She always keeps me updated with pictures along the way and is very communicative. I am very thankful for her walking my baby while I’m working long hours.”

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!
“Irvin was so kind and gracious. He volunteered to watch our pups at the last minute and took such good care of them. He was communicative and attentive to our messages about the walk. Will be booking Irving again in the future! ?”

Yelyzaveta took wonderful care of my dog Blaze during her walks. Blaze was so happy to see her come that she would jump at the door. Yelyzaveta was professional and friendly. And I would definitely recommend her for dog walking. I would book her again should I need a dog walker.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!
