Your neighborhood zoologist!

Pet care experience

I’m a zoologist who LOVES animals and just can’t get enough of them in my life! I’d be thrilled to walk or sit for your pup! Get to know me below ⤵️ I have a degree in zoology and previously ran a sea turtle program on the GA coast for a number of years. I am now a wildlife technician for the Georgia DNR working with urban wildlife species on a daily basis and responding to wildlife emergencies. I have worked professionally with puppies, dogs, cats, and other house pets for over 7 years, and wild and exotic animals for over 5 years. I’ve worked on training and behavior with both domestic and exotic species and am skilled in applying these practices to dog walking and sitting. I am also a marathon runner, so if you have an active breed that may need to get out more energy, I would be more than happy to take them for a jog instead of a walk! I have volunteered at many of my local shelters as a dog walker to keep those pups active and ready to find their fur-ever homes! I have owned dogs of all sizes from Shih-Tzu to Great Dane. I’m able to accommodate any size and energy level during walks or play time! I treat all animals as if they are my own and will do everything I can to keep your fur babies happy, loved, and maybe a little spoiled!

I really appreciated having Ellie help us out. She's very knowledgeable and even gave us some pointers while our baby was sick. Absolutely would get her again if we come back to the area!
