Dog Walking in Mechanicsville, Atlanta, GA

About: I grew up on our family farm helping to take care of a wide variety of animals from our many barn cats to the cows, goats, sheep and more. After graduating high school I worked in law enforcement for six years before going back to school to earn my Bachelor’s in Wildlife Ecology and Management. I’m now a zookeeper at Zoo Atlanta and have worked with hundreds of wild animals along with my coworkers pets while they’re away on vacation. I have three cats of my own at home, my first being blind with one eye, my second deaf and going blind and my third perfectly normal, so I’m no stranger to administering medications or specialized care. I have a fully fenced in backyard with a mosquito netted patio for any fur friends that enjoy spending time outside like mine do, or we have plenty of toys and beds for spending time indoors. Our family dogs growing up were Border collies and Saint Bernards so there isn’t a dog too large or too energetic that I couldn’t handle! I’m home three full days a week and work in downtown Atlanta so I have time first r home visits or walks on my lunch breaks! For any boarding needs I have a fenced in backyard and three cats to help keep your pets company. It is a three bedroom home so there is space to keep everyone separated if need be. I work in downtown Atlanta and have an hour lunch break to come and let pets out if needed and can be flexible and do in home visits, walks, or even overnight stays.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years and have fostered more than 30 dogs through Furkids Animal Shelter and our county euthanasia list. That experience has given me hands-on knowledge with dogs and cats at every life stage, from puppies still learning potty training to seniors with ongoing medical needs. I lead with empathy and patience, especially with animals who may be nervous, adjusting, or need extra understanding. I’m comfortable administering care for medical needs and maintaining routines that help pets feel safe and secure. I care for every animal the way I care for my own and treat each one I meet with the same love, respect, and attention. Please note that I am happy to serve ITP, Sandy Springs, & Dunwoody. My home is based in Decatur for boardings. I am experienced with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, and fish tanks. I am also certified in Dog/Cat First Aid. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. During the week, I work in an office Monday through Thursday but have flexibility for pet check-ins and dog walks as needed. From Friday through Sunday, I am home with much more flexibility, which allows me to focus on overnight boarding, day sitting, extended care, and walks. I structure my schedule around each pet’s needs to ensure they receive consistent attention, care, and companionship. In my home, pets have a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment. I have a fully fenced yard with turf and a large deck, and we spend most of our days outside enjoying fresh air and supervised play, weather permitting. I also have a dedicated room just for dogs, giving them their own calm and cozy space when they need downtime. I am able to accommodate dogs who are dog-friendly or dog-tolerant, and I carefully manage interactions to ensure everyone feels comfortable and secure. Crating is optional and always based on the pet parent’s preference, as long as the dog is non-destructive when I step out. When caring for pets overnight, I’m never gone for more than four hours in a day, so your pet receives consistent attention, companionship, and care—just like they would at home.

About: My goal as your pet’s sitter is to be attentive to and anticipate your fur baby’s needs while their person is away. Growing up, I always loved animals and took care of hamsters, cats, and dogs. I am gentle and loving while allowing the animal to take the lead with contact. I always respect animals’ autonomy and will always strive to make them feel comfortable and safe. I am available to become your regular go-to sitter or a helping hand when you need one on occasion! My schedule is flexible and can accommodate your pet’s care as you need it to! Your furry family members are my top priority as you are away. I will ensure your pet sticks to their routine as you dictate it and feels comfortable despite your absence. Additionally, I will make sure to spend quality time with your pets so they don’t feel too emotionally distressed while their person is away.

About: Whether your dog child is quirky, sassy, or shy I'll be sure to love them :-) I've had many fun and crazy pups my whole life and have cared for animals from goats to Alpaca's!! Recently, I lost my sassy pitty girl, Arya, and she was by her preference, and only child. This has left me with an empty house, and a lot of love to give! I have a huge love for and a big comfortability with bully breeds, and have had them as long as I've had dogs. My job leaves my schedule very flexible and I often work from home or can drop in and out frequently. Because of having my own animals for so long and dog / cat sitting, I feel I have a solid intuition to understand different personality types across dogs and had my own pets for over 20 years, some that I raised from a very young age. While my previous pup was was vocal about her needs :), I know some are not, and I will pay close attention and do whatever I can to help them feel comfortable when you are gone. In other words, I treat dogs like people and care about their comfort. One of my highest joys is being with animals and I can't wait to meet you and yours. Also.... I do drop ins for cats but due to allergies cannot do overnights :( I have an extremely flexible job that allows me to work from home most days or drop in and out between commitments. That means your pup gets lots of attention, walks, and love throughout the day. The only exception is if your dog truly needs someone home every single hour or has extensive separation anxiety. If that’s the case, I may not be the best fit because of my active lifestyle, but I’ll be honest about that upfront so you can find the right sitter. Fully fenced backyard and a safe, regular walking route for long or short walks. Plenty of space for dog beds, toys, and crate setups if needed. (please bring a crate if your dog requires one, or may be most comfortable in one for safety, quiet time, etc) Cozy couch cuddles or quiet corners for independent nappers. No other pets in the home. Perfect for shy pups or dogs who need a calmer environment. Option for neighborhood doggie playdates if your pup enjoys social time.I focus on trying to make sure they feel comfortable and give your pup cuddle time on the couch and a solid peaceful nightime routine, or car rides and outings to the coffee shop, if they like those. Happy to customize the routine to your pups personality!

“It's very difficult to find a caretaker that you can trust. Shanese did a phenomenal job of taking care of Roscoe while I traveled! She is now my "Go-To" pet care professional whenever my travel requires me to leave Roscoe behind.”

“Danielle is the absolute best!! She’s a great communicator and takes care of my puppers very well. I’m so happy to have found her here. Thank you so much.”

“Luke is awesome! Both of my dogs really liked him and one is a very skittish rescue. He was very patient with her when she was scared to come out of her crate. He even ran with my dogs a bit. Highly recommend him!”

“Milan was super responsive to my last minute request for Mother’s Day graduation weekend. She was very thorough with all her communications in prepping for the visit. Once the day came I got regular updates about my Pup and her walk. Lots of pictures of my Pup having fun fun and MORE FUN on her walks. Her wife Raí, another Rover Walker, even joined in the fun to love on my Pup. I can’t say enough wonderful things about these ladies. Will DEFINITELY be using them again.”

“Tristan was awesome! This was a very last minute booking and Tristan responded in minutes. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our boy. Thank you, Tristan.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities since I was about 10 years old. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and love their pets as if they were my own. I’m patient, attentive, and very affectionate with animals. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. I’m available on weekdays after 2pm and most weekends for boarding, walks, drop-ins, and extended stays.” Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow care instructions closely, keep pets supervised, and make sure they’re in a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I respect routines, communicate consistently with owners, and treat every pet like family.

About: I have hands-on experience with puppy care, having raised my own dog from the age of three months. I provided consistent potty training with frequent breaks throughout the day and night, and successfully taught both verbal and visual commands such as “no,” “stay,” and “this way,” along with fun tricks like “roll over.” My dog is a picky eater, so I’ve learned to encourage healthy eating habits through tailored meal adjustments and regular exercise. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve boarded multiple family pets, including hosting up to 2 additional toy dogs in my apartment at once. I’m comfortable walking all three dogs together and managing their individual feeding routines. I also have experience walking and feeding dogs and cats for friends. I’m able to travel to their homes, follow detailed care instructions, and ensure their pets are well cared for in their absence. I currently work from home on a flexible schedule and am available to walk dogs throughout the week, including weekends, from morning to night. I'm also open to boarding and doggy daycare for small, hypoallergenic breeds—provided your dog gets along with mine. I live in a dog-friendly apartment and neighborhood. My 9 lb Shih Tzu is easygoing and would love the company with small dogs. When visiting your home, I’ll follow your detailed instructions to ensure both you and your pet's needs are met. I also enjoy sending photo updates for real-time peace of mind.

“I’ve booked Anisha couple times, and every experience has been great. She’s very flexible and understanding whenever something unexpected comes up, which makes things so much easier. Always a great help and someone I can count on! Thanks Anisha!”
