Dog Walkers in North High Shoals, GA

About: I have had a multitude of animals throughout my life. I was always responsible for the pets in our home and I will strive to take the best care of your pets. It is very important that they are well taken care of when you’re not able to be there!! I am currently a stay at home mom! I have all the time for your pets. My schedule is very open and only a couple days a year I am not here! I have a fenced in back yard full of grass for your fur baby to play around in. I have 1 other dog to keep them company and I have a crate if needed.

About: Trust is important in any relationship, whether it be with humans, dogs, or any other animals. Love and care is my priority. I will do everything I can and be as patient as possible to maximize the trust between your dog and myself. I have had some wonderful opportunities to care for dogs and cats. In my free time I enjoy creating positive, peaceful environments through singing and music, meditation, and prayer. Whether it be with people or animals this is what I bring to the table! Please contact me if you want to know more. I look forward to talking with you! I am beginning a position as a psychotherapist at this time! I am looking to care for animals as I build my caseload. I am available at most times, since I can build my own schedule with my current psychotherapy position. I will not be available Sunday mornings as I go to church. Mondays and Tuesdays will be busier in the long run once I have more clients. Other than that I can work around most schedules. I care for pets with love and empathy! I will not be able to host pets at my home, but I am more than willing to pet sit, house sit, or make visits to your home. Empathy and responsibility are very important to me. Therefore, I value trying to read and understand what people and animals are feeling, and I meet the need accordingly.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10, and my passion for animals has only grown stronger over the years. As an Animal Biosciences major, I bring both academic knowledge and practical experience to provide high-quality, compassionate care. Last summer, I interned at a veterinary emergency clinic, gaining hands-on experience with medical care, administering medications, and handling animals in stressful situations. I currently work on a dairy farm, where I care for animals daily and have developed keen observational skills for health and behavior. I work with Guide Dog Foundation, training dogs where I bring them into my home and care for them. Additionally, I volunteer at a local animal shelter, supporting pets in need and learning more about diverse animal temperaments and care requirements. What sets me apart: * Experienced in administering medications and providing senior pet care * Skilled in puppy training and socialization * Calm, attentive, and able to handle emergencies with confidence * Passionate about animal welfare and creating a safe, loving environment Whether your pet needs medical attention, training, or just a caring companion, I’m dedicated to giving them the best care possible. Since I am currently working at a dairy farm over the summer, my hours are not consistent. I get my schedule at the end of the month for the next month, and it depends on that. During the school year, I am consistently available at the end of the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, consistency, and creating a calm, familiar environment for your pet. I respect your home as I would my own, helping to keep things clean, secure, and stress-free. I bring a trained eye for detail and animal well-being. I stick to your pet’s routine, follow all feeding and medication instructions carefully, and pay close attention to behavior or health changes that might need attention. Here’s how I help pets feel safe and supported: * Follow all routines, feeding schedules, and house rules * Keep a calm, low-stress environment that pets are comfortable in * Administer medications safely and confidently when needed * Maintain a tidy, pet-safe space, especially litter areas and food zones * Provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing

About: My whole life my family has had dogs. From the German Shepard-Dobermans we had when I was little to the Cavalier we had growing up. I work part time so I have plenty of free time, mainly on Tuesdays and Thursdays and every other weekend to pet sit any dogs. I'm reliable and I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. And I will take care of them like my own dogs.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for a little over a year now. I had repetitive clients who I sat for. I’ve had timid dogs, needy dogs, elderly dogs, and hyperactive dogs. I’ve even taken care of 12 inch koi fish! I love spending time with the dogs and caring for them, as well as getting to know their owners and ensuring that they have someone they trust with their pets. I am currently looking for a job in Athens, so my days are completely free. I will have to have time for school, but otherwise I don’t have much else to do. I won’t be able to keep them at my home since I have roommates. However, I am able to go to the dogs to care for them. In the past, I always went to my clients home (overnight or just the daytime), and can still do that.

“She's walked my dog Dottie twice, and it went very well both times. Luciana is friendly and personable, and seems very trust-worthy. Highly recommend!!!”

About: I bring dedication and genuine love to every pet I care for. I will be focused on creating a safe, fun, and comfortable experience for all dogs. I will be living in Athens GA for the month of June and the fall semester starting in September. I am available on weekdays and limited weekends. I create safe, comfortable environments, follow instructions carefully, and maintain clear communication to ensure every pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for at all times.

About: With years of hands on experience in animal care, I bring both passion and professionalism to every pet I meet. I’ve volunteered at the Humane Society, worked at a doggy daycare, and have several years of experience as a veterinary assistant in animal clinics. I’m comfortable with everything from basic care and playtime to administering medications and handling special needs pets. I treat every animal like my own with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs I recently moved to Georgia and have some free time before starting my new job, so my schedule is currently wide open for pet care! I’m happy to offer flexible availability during the day or week while I wait to hear more about my work hours. Once I have a set schedule, I’ll update my availability but for now, I’m here and ready to help whenever you need! Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I always prioritize their comfort and routine. I follow instructions closely, give plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re safe and happy.

About: I’m currently 21 years old, and I’ve had a shih tzu since I was 10! My dog has some little quirks (like needing some extra help and encouragement to go through doors in the house and only eating her food out of a very specific bowl), so if your dog has any quirks too, I’m happy to accommodate anything they need! I’ve only ever had a small dog myself, but I’ve volunteered at a shelter and walked dogs of all sizes (yorkie to husky). I’m a college student at Purdue, but this summer I’m at home taking some online classes, babysitting, etc., so I have some extra time to help care for your dog anytime! My dog is like a member of my family, so I understand the importance of a safe and caring environment. When someone is taking care of my dog, I appreciate regular updates, so I would be happy to do that for you as well while caring for your dog!

About: I've had dogs and cats as pets ever since I was a little kid and have always enjoyed taking care of them. I have a genuine love for all animals and would love nothing more than to care for yours. I started officially pet sitting about seven years ago and have enjoyed every second of it. I just moved to the Athens area and am currently on the job hunt! I have all the time in the world on my hands to help care for your pets! Your pet’s safety and comfortability is top priority for me, along with your own. Watching their movements and ensuring they are at ease is something I have a lot of experience in. I want them to have the best time they can have and I want you to know your pets are in good hands every time I watch them!

About: Alongside my utter most love for fur babies, I have been a dog groomer for 4 years, I have worked as a vet tech for 2 years, and I’ve even worked with horses for a little over a year! This being said there’s no task too much for me to handle! With my experience I take pride in my personalized care for each pet. Whether this be following a specific routine, catering to a pet’s dietary preferences, or offering extra comfort during stressful times. I treat pets like family, offering affection and attention while respecting their individual temperaments. I know some pets thrive on extra cuddles, while others might prefer space, and I always aim to provide that balance. I currently work part-time at Publix so this ensures I can provide consistent care for your pet. Every pet’s routine can be tailored to their needs, but having a consistent schedule makes it easier to manage and ensures their getting exactly what they need! One of the best parts of caring for pets in their own home is that it’s their familiar environment. I ensure that their daily routine stays the same, including feeding, exercise, and rest time. It helps reduce stress and anxiety that might happen from being in a new place. While caring for your pet, I also take responsibility to respect your home by treating it as my own. Such as keeping it clean, tidy, safe for both your pet and myself, locking doors, or picking up mail. Ultimately my goal is to create an stress-free, loving environment where your pet feels safe, happy, and satisfied!

About: I have been taking care of my family's dogs my whole life! My dog, Boston, is my whole world. I have been a dog walker and house sitter for family, friends, and neighbors, and would love to take care of your pets! I am home from college for the summer and would love to meet some new pet friends. I currently do not have much else going on and am pretty available. I am caring and responsible. I can feed, walk, cuddle, and crate your dog. I am experienced with dogs with special needs such as diapers. I would love to keep your pets company while you are away

About: My experience consists of watching family and friends dogs and occasionally cats. I had a small yorkie with hip dysplasia and cushings that required meds frequently and I had a black lab mix that has also passed away, who was blind in one eye and deaf. I offer companionship and exercise for your pets when you're away. I can help with training, taking them for long walks, going to the restroom, administering medications, or just being an awesome petter for your puppy (because all dogs are puppies, no matter how old). I usually work the weekends from 8-4pm, but am usually up very early and can walk your dog as early as 5am if needed. During the week I can stop by and check or walk your pet in the morning or afternoon. Wed-Sun I can watch/walk them at night as well. When I walk my dogs, I prefer them to be in a harness for their comfort and safety. I make sure to watch the dogs closely, so if I see any signs of stress, I will promptly remove them from the situation. During the summer months especially, I will make sure to walk them early in the morning or in well shaded areas to make sure their paws are well protected from the hot pavement. I carry a dog water bottle with me on my walks, so they always have access to clean water if needed. When dog sitting, I take them out constantly, offer lots of playtime and stimulation while there, and always make sure the area is clean.

“Hannah was able to walk our dog on very short notice when we planned a last-minute getaway. She was very responsive, made sure she knew the day before she came where all of his supplies would be, and gave me detailed updates daily. I would highly recommend her!”
