About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and have always had pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size. I have 2 dogs of my own. I’m available for visits and walks in the evenings in May. I’ll have week day and weekend availability in June and July. After July, I’ll be available mostly on weekends. I will follow any rules and routines you have set for your pet when visiting and walking your fur baby. I will make sure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured before leaving. I’m happy to send photos of pets if requested.

About: I grew up working on Cheryl's farm. Savethehorses. Helped look after all kinds of animals including over 15 dogs. There was never a dull moment being surrounded by all types of animals in my care. I currently own 3 dogs now but have owned up to 5 dogs at one time and cats in the past. I have raised a couple dog liters as well as one cat liter. All found amazing homes and I have been able to stay connected to watch them grow and thrive. I have training in animal behavior as it is important to know what to look for when caring after someone else's animal, even your own. Things can happen fast and you have to be able to know what to do next. I have raised three male dogs in my house hold and as you probably can guess, things can get overwhelming but it's important to know what to do if an animal makes a quick decision that can change the situation very quickly. Each animal has their own specific needs and I will be sure to follow what is needed for your fur babies to thrive while you are away or working in within your home. Whether it is my animal I'm caring for or someone else's, I take it very seriously to ensure the proper care is given. I have a senior dog at home as well, she is 13yrs old with cancer and a deteriorating spinal cord disease who gets supplements every morning amongst other medications. She is my couch potato but my absolute world, she is fragile and living out the last years of her life being the wonderful potato she is. I have experience in birthing two dog liters and 1 cat liter. Experienced in what is needed before and after birth. Extra care if needed. I have worked along the side of a professional dog trainer as well as helped run a boarding and training facility up to 30 dogs, being one out of two kennel techs. I work at a vet hospital in ellijay, ga for dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds currently. I am looking to help others out who need the extra hand in caring for their fur babies. If your working from home or away or just simply need the extra hand. I've got you! Sometimes it takes a village and it's important to know you can trust someone to take care of your fur babies no matter the size or fluff. It's important to take your pups for a walk or utilize the pets favorite way to get all that energy out could be throwing a ball or Sometimes even going for a run if you have any that are like my huskies and cattle dogs, that energy never dies.

About: I’ve always had dogs at home, up to three at once! Most all raised and trained from puppy stages. I had a disabled dog recently who lost usage of her back legs and was incompetent. She required lots of help and being carried around but was a sweetheart. Currently I have eight geckos as well as two snakes, a skink, two cats (mostly outdoor) and one dog. My dogs name is Luna, she’s almost two years old, deaf and mentally special but as friendly as can be! (Several rooms for separation of my dog if needed as well as my crate. So far she gets along well with others) My current weekly routine is as follows: Monday: Feed Cats and Dog x2, feed and mist geckos Tuesday: Feed cats and dog x2 Wednesday: Feed cats and dogs x2, feed and mist geckos, feed skink, feed hognose Thursday: Feed cats and dog x2 Friday: Feed cats and dog x2, feed and most geckos Saturday: Feed cats and dog x2, feed skink Sunday: Feed cats and dog x2 Feed and mist geckos Saturday I go out about every hour and a half for potty breaks. I do not have a fence but I have a large pasture as well as lots of leads. I’m willing to walk for hours with your pet on a leash! I have one friendly pup to keep yours company and I have a spare room. I have the ability to crate my dog and space for a crate for yours if provided. We go out after every food and water break, get lots of cuddles and extra play time!

Charis did a wonderful job with my scardy cat dog. She was willing to meet her early and let my dog get used to her before their first walk together. She’s been super quick to respond and very communicative! It’s made me worry a lot less about my pup through the day!

About: Let me come take care of your fur babies! I provide excellent, individually catered care for each pet and I have the extra experience being a registered veterinarian technician! Does your pet need special care? No problem at all! I can cater to any need; whether that be a playful puppy that needs to go on a long run to get some energy out or an older senior pet that needs daily medications and extra cuddle time. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, a variety of reptiles, birds, fish, turtles, and other farm and exotic pets! Just let me know the details and I would be happy to care for them too! A little about me: Besides being an overall animal lover, I graduated in June 2019 with my Associates Degree in Veterinarian Nursing. I have a horse named Reno; who is a 23 yr old quarter paint! I adore him with all my heart and soul. I used to ride in local rodeos until I retired Reno at the age of 16. Now, he resides in Milton, Ga. and is taken care of daily at a boarding facility where I see him a couple times a week. I enjoy working out, running, drawing and reading! If I'm not at the barn or at work, you can usually find me out in advance tires with my daughter, or with my husband taking our dog Silo for a walk. I work at a local animal hospital and have several years experience with companion pets and even some exotics! I aspire to become a anesthesiologist in small animal veterinarian medicine! I have a flexible schedule and would be happy to discuss arrangements for your pet from time sensitive medication dosing, morning walks and multiple feeding schedules. No two pets are alike! That's why I take extra care and time to go over your pets individual needs. I have a degree in animal medicine so I am proficient in animal care, emergency critical care and overall animal health and well being.

About: I have only ever cared for certain dogs for very short intervals of time. I care for my personal dog, which is a yorkshire terrier/poodle mix, and he is a small dog under 15 pounds. I have walked a few dogs before that were of medium and big size. I am a very caring person and love dogs of every breed. I only want the very best for your furry companions because I would want the same for mine. I am hoping to gain a lot of experience from pet sitting and hope that you consider me a good fit as your sitter. I do not have any special skills, I just really love dogs and want to spend my spare time having a ton of fun with them. Thank you. I work 3 12 hour shifts per week from 7pm-7am so I am available on my days off for drop ins and walks! I prefer a notice a couple of weeks in advance if booking an overnight stay so I am hopefully able to tweak my work schedule. Thanks! My dog sleeps in the bed with my husband and I and is free to roam around the house during the day. I will care for your dog however you prefer.

About: I’ve had my own animals and taken care of neighbors pets for as long as I can remember. I have lots of experience with cats/kittens & dogs! I have two dogs of my own and a main coon cat. They are basically my children and I take pride in loving on them and treating them like royalty! I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule so I’m open to all sorts of pet care! I would love to drop by for a walk, or stay overnight for a weekend! I am lucky to have the freedom of a flexible schedule. I will come to you! As much as I would love to have an animal slumber party, I don’t think my cat would approve. I will take care of your babies as much as they are mine. Whether that’s playing with them, giving lots of scratches, or cuddling - they will be treated like my own.

About: I have always had a strong love for animals. I own animals of my own, and they are like children to me. I love meeting new animals and getting to know them. I am a very active person and playful. I have so much love to give out to all animals! I have had a lot of experience taking care of furry friends. I am a student in college, but I'm looking for easy ways to earn money. I thought I would put myself put there for others to know that I am here to help with animals, so I could have a fun, easy, and flexible job to help me make a better living for myself to get through school. I also have been volunteering at Pickens Animal Shelter for awhile now, so I have met numerous different types of furry friends. I am very patient and have experience with frighened, nervous, and even agressive animals that just need more compassion. I also have experience with taking care of livestock, including llamas! Unfortunately, I'm not able to have fun with furry friends 24/7, but I am still flexible and usually don't have issues working out schedules that are needed. For overnight booking, I definitely prepare to be there majority of the time. I love my let's very much and they are a good mix between inside and outside dogs. I pretty much give them free will to pick. They always sleep with me at night. I have lots of land to play on. In a client's home, I will follow any instructions or rules they ask. Otherwise, I try and do what is best for the pets and make them comfortable and I have no problem cuddling and sleeping with them too!

About: I have done training with both of my dogs and have learned a lot about dog behavior and dog body language. Before getting into the pet industry, I was a paramedic for the last 15 years. I can handle stressful situations and I'm not afraid to get dirty. I'm the process of taking a class for pet first aid and CPR I would love during my down time to stay active by walking/ running with your dogs. I am also up for enrichment activities as well. My own dogs have been through dog training classes. I have learned a lot about dog behaviors and body language. I am truly one of those people who believe in boundaries even for pets. Not everyone wants to be touched, and others need to respect that. I always carry in my car or on my person, extra treats, extra leashes, and first aid kits not only for the animals but for people as well. I would rather come over prepared than nothing at all. If you need your dog taken somewhere I do have a safety crate secured in the back of my car. I won't travel with my dogs in the car without safety that includes your dogs as well.

I really should just pay you for the pictures you take instead of the dog walking! 🤣 they’re hilarious & crack me up! Thank you for taking such great care of my fur baby. It brings me so much relief to know she’s having fun and in good hands, while I’m at work.
