About: I can walk your pet, bathe your pet if needed, and also pet sit if you want me to. Just ask me, the worst I can do is say no. I’m available most days for pet care, I do work between 8-5pm Monday to Friday, but other than that I’m available whenever you need me. I make sure that all my animals have what they need at all times, as well as my clients pets, if they need/want it they will have it.

About: Whether your pup likes to walk for miles on quiet country roads or prefers to lounge on the couch, we can offer a comfortable space. We live in a very private, comfortable environment just outside of town. If your dog is very social they will have a blast playing with our little monsters. If they would prefer a quiet space, I can provide a private room with easy access to our fenced in yard. I have been caring for my family and friends pets and our own for many years. I regularly work at the Athens Dog Shelter walking dogs. I also foster dogs for Friends of the Shelter Dogs and participate in adoption events. Being retired, I make my own schedule and can be available most days from 8:30 am-10:00 pm for drop in visits. Let me put my decades of experience to work caring for your furry kids. Being retired means I am available to care for your pups without rushing. I will do my best to make them comfortable in our home and to keep their routines as normal as possible in yours. I love spending time with dogs. I truly want them to enjoy themselves and be as comfortable as possible. I will do whatever I can to accommodate them. I’m looking forward to caring for your dogs.

They are both very friendly as well and most of the time the chihuahua minds his own business. (By the way they are both male dogs). My whole family loves animals and would love for your to come stay or visit and even walks would be great. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for dogs to run in and much more. I work part time so I have time to take care of your pups!

About: I have taken care of pets (dogs and cats) since I was around 12 years old. This would include walking, playing, housesitting, giving medications, etc. For a week or more. I am trained by a local Athens animal shelter to deal with dogs with behavioral issues, and currently volunteer at the Delaware country animal shelter and getting trained to deal with medical emergencies. I have grown up with large dogs my whole life and very experienced at dealing with their size. I am currently working part - time and taking online classes, this gives me a lot of free time to care for your pets! I also like to walk daily and will always make time to take your pets on walks! Preferably, before caring for the dog in the clients home, I can meet or talk with the owners beforehand to grasp a strong understanding of their expectations and differences between each household. Trust and communication are very important to me and I intend to care for your pets to the best of my abilities.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. I recently started working from home, which means I’m at a desk more than I’d like — so I’m turning my love for dogs into the perfect reason to get outside and stay active. Whether your dog needs a brisk walk or a slower stroll, I’m here to make sure they get the care, attention, and exercise they deserve. Let me help you while your pup helps me get my steps in!! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’ve grown up with dogs and have cared for them for most of my life, so tending to their needs — whether it’s a walk, a meal, or some playtime — just feels like second nature. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to step away from my desk and give pets the attention they need. Walks and check-ins are a great way for me to stay active and reset my day, so fitting pet care into my routine is not only easy — it’s something I look forward to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat their space and routines with respect. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, whether that’s a specific walking route, feeding schedule, or just extra belly rubs. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I pay close attention to their behavior and mood so I can adjust my care if needed. My goal is always to make your pet feel like they’re with a trusted friend while keeping your home just as you left it.
