About: I grew up around many pets, big and small, cats and dogs plus everything in between. I’m an athletic person so long dog walks are awesome. I have a senior dog of my own that just recently passed whom I took care of all her medical needs. I am available weekdays after 12 most days and available at whatever time on weekends! I can do multiple stops a day if needed as well! I will do a walk through of the home and pets care before taking over and ensure that all their requirements are met. Will stick to the fur babies feeding and walk schedule!
“She is the best and only person we trust with our fur babies!!!”

About: Hi everyone! My name is Carine and I’m super excited to help you with your pet! I’m currently a recent UGA graduate and I love spending time with animals! I’ve personally trained my own puppy to know all the basic commands and pass the STAR puppy test and she is currently working on becoming a therapy dog. I also have one cat that I love dearly. I’ve been handling dogs and cats my whole life and love working with them! I’m super used to working with all types of dogs and promise that by the end of their walk or my care they will be happy and ready for a nap:) I currently run a small business from out of my home so I’m flexible all day! Let me take care of your babies and work around your schedule :) I have a dog/cat friendly environment at home always treat my animals like the queens or king that they are! Your fur baby will leave being happy and healthy
“Great response to last-minute need. Great care given.”
About: I am a full-time veterinary technician, I just graduated university and I’m on the path to veterinary school. My goal is not only to love on pets but extend medical knowledge to the families I care for! I have 2-3 off days each week so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I love working, especially when it comes to animals. I used to also be a kennel technician so I am very careful that dogs don’t come off leashes, any medications that need to be administered are given in a timely manner, and I am always kind and thorough to the individual pets I care for.
“Denise was amazing, reliable, and trustworthy! She took care of my fur babies while we were gone. She fed them and cleaned the litter. She was able to modify what we had agreed upon which is great. She also kept us updated. Thank you, Denise! I will recommend her.”
About: I have had pets my entire life. Dogs, cats, fish, turtles, hamsters and even a rooster. Currently I have two small dogs and three cats. My animals mean the world to me and I know yours are important to you as well. I will do my best to make sure they are well cared for and also make sure your home is secure. I am fully retired which gives me a very flexible and open schedule. I have a lot of free time that I am trying to fill up. Bringing some joy and comfort to your pet's lonely day while you are away would be a great way to spend that extra free time I have :) I have two dogs and three cats. They are friendly to other dogs if yours needs to stay with me for short term periods. I have a fenced in yard but all my pets stay in the house as would yours. When I visit your home, I will make sure everything seems the way it should be and alert you if something doesn't seem right.
“Elizabeth has been a wonderful surprise. This is my first time needing a dog walker and she is fabulous! I feel blessed to have her checking in with our pups, she goes above and beyond.”
About: I have two special needs cats so I have tons of experience providing eye drops, ear drops, flea meds, and pills. I am a nurse taking some time off, and a frequent ASPCA volunteer and foster mom. I have experience caring dogs from senior Shih tzus to energetic three-tear old huskies. Big or small, I love them all! I am currently working from home with a very flexible scheule, so I have plenty of time to care for your fur baby. We have a spare bedroom and a home with a large backyard, so we can take care of your pet’s needs easily. I live in a three bedroom house with two cats that are good about keeping to themselves. We have a spare bedroom I frequently use for fosters. For me, checking on other’s pets usually includes feeding, watering, play time, and litter box cleaning. My partner works out of town, so I will be the only person providing care to your pets.
“Morgan was fantastic. I was visiting for a medical appointment and needed someone to walk and watch my dog (a nine month old puppy) who is usually my shadow. Moppie took to her and was perfectly relaxed with Morgan. She showed up early, sent me pictures, and was very caring. I would recommend her without hesitation.”
“Jamie made my first Rover experience such a breeze! It honestly went better than I could’ve imagined. Not only was she great at communicating quickly, but she provided photos and updates constantly. She met my dog’s specific needs and also mine as well. I really felt my dog was in such great care. From miles away being able to see constant updates about my dogs visits was just awesome. She definitely did a great job at dealing with my dogs energy and playfully personality which can be a lot for some. She’s great with understanding animals personalities and definitely has that pet whisper thing going. I completely trust her with not only having access to my animal, but my place as well. There was a bit of a fruit fly situation in my apartment while I was away on business and she took it upon herself to help with the situation. She also did a great job with setting up a date and time in handing off my apartment keys to someone else since I wasn’t going to be home to personally get them from her. Overall amazing experience!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for them like family. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, patience, and ability to quickly build trust with pets of all personalities. I have experience walking energetic dogs, caring for senior pets with medication needs, and creating a calm environment for anxious animals. Whether it's a puppy who needs structure and training or an older dog who needs gentle care, I adapt my approach to meet each pet’s unique needs. You can count on me to provide consistent, loving, and dependable care every time. I’m currently doing pet care full time, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can be available whenever you and your pets need me—whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Since this is my main focus, I can give your pets my full attention and provide consistent, reliable care throughout the week. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets—whether in my home or yours. I always take time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality so I can create a calm, secure environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. In your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions closely, keeping things clean and organized. I make sure pets stay on their usual schedule and provide lots of attention, playtime, and supervision. I also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you're away.
About: I grew up with three boxers. I would take them on walks in my neighborhood, play fetch, cook healthy meals, ensure they had clean water, give supplements/medicine, and take them out to go potty. I’m currently unemployed and new to the city, so I don’t have many friends. A pet’s routine will easily fit into my weekly routine with how much free time I have. For drop ins, I’d make sure your pet(s) has all of their necessities (food/water/etc.) and are taken to the bathroom. I’d play with them and give tons of pettings.
“Ceteria was great with my dog and did everything I asked her to do. Will definitely have her take care of my fur baby again in the future.”
“We have trouble finding someone flexible to fit our busy schedule and someone that our dog Walter is comfortable with. Max is amazing! He is reliable, easy to work with, always on time and sends lots of pictures. He even came by to meet our dog before we scheduled walks with him to make sure he was comfortable. Walter loves him and we will be booking with Max anytime we need some extra help with our baby.”
About: Experience with elderly dogs and puppies. Love to play and walk dogs as long as they need me for! Will stay with dog as long as needed. I’m available early mornings and late afternoons as I work in JAX from 10:30-7. Also available most weekends. Happy to work around changing schedules of pet owners and families needs. Communication is key for me! I live in a neighborhood with a ton of trails and ways to walk. The area I’m in is extremely pet friendly and allows for pet accessibility as well.

All of these qualities come together to make Emily Morales a truly exceptional friend. She’s trustworthy, kind, caring, and incredibly intuitive with both people and animals.
