Dog Walkers in Rabun Gap, GA

About: My family and I raised my first dog from a puppy. All the dogs (and cats) who followed were rescues. Most were seniors that we cared for till they passed away. I’ve also owned parakeets, and taught them to talk! Our current lifestyle makes it difficult to have pets of our own, and we miss them! If you’re looking for someone to love on your pup, kitty, or bird, I’d love to help out. I’m happy to feed your pets, walk your dogs, or stay with pets in your home while you’re away. As an owner of pets for many years, I enjoy their company; and, many times, pets are drawn to me.

“I had a great experience with Pamela. She's a dog whisperer, always on time, and loves being around dogs.”

“Kristi was great with our dog, this was her first time being away from us so she was very nervous at first Kristi took time to make her feel comfortable and safe and took great care of her. We will definitely be having Kristi watch our dog again and I would recommend her to anyone else needing someone to take care of your pet!”

About: I have never known life without at least one dog in my household. As an adult, I have raised two dogs from puppyhood and two cats from when they were kittens, as well as day check ins and walking for other friends and family pets. While I have no formal pet training, I have read plenty of books in preparation for my own dogs and their training. I am currently a stay at home wife, so my schedule is very flexible! I am an early riser and can come later in the evenings if needed I treat all my fur clients as if they were my own. I can text photos or videos so you can see how they are doing as I provide food, walks, snuggles, and love when you’re away. If possible, I would prefer a meet and greet before any service for the pet to get to know me and for myself to get to know them! Also if needed, my car is set up to travel with pets, as my own dogs love going for car rides

“Fantastic service! Heather took great care of my Lucky Dogg and the Black Brothers. She was consistently on time, shared plenty of pictures, and left great notes on the Rover card. Thank you!”

About: Howdy! My name is Grey, and i want to snuggle your dog! Once upon a time, as an aging single male with no children employed at a plant, a coworker asked me if I would mind watching her dog for a night while she left town. I obliged and from that grew several clients from my workplace, and friends told friends, dogs told dogs, and i was never in my own bed for months watching other peoples' dogs and homes. My reviews are real and recent and if dogs could write as well as they speak, they would echo the same. I'm extremely interactive with your Pooch,but I'M NOTHING SPECIAL. I do specifically what im told regarding pets, household duties, errands AND NOTHING MORE OR LESS unless circumstances absolutely called for it. Excessive dog walks? NO PROBLEM! Plant watering and mail? LEMME DO THAT! Receiving 18 Amazon packages daily that you don't want on your front porch? Perfect, I don't want them on your porch either! My goals for your booking are: 1) Total peace of mind for pet parents upon departure. 2. 100% wagalicious excitement OR cuddlicious tranquility for pet during the trip. 3) A clean and choreless home with happy pets upon arrival. I'm ultra reasonable and can work with people on pricing depending on specific scenarios BUT I am not a miracle worker nor am I a dog whisperer. I throw balls, take long walks, verbally stimulate, feed and water your furbabies. Sometimes, i let them kiss my mouth (once per day, per dog). I take them to parks. I take them on hikes. I DO NOT TRAIN THEM..... SO, if they are destructive with the owner around, they will be 10x as destructive with me around. If they pee in the house, they are going to pee in 10x as much Square footage with me around vs the actual owner. I'm not Cesar Milan....I'm YOU for a week. Please respond with some contact info, interested dates and maybe anything ultra specific needed during your excursion. I'm a solid sitter, but there is only one of me, so let's book soon! Any medical professionals specializing in male pattern baldness, TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE, please:) I do this full time, however, I'm newer to the area and I'm now discovering some of the challenges it provides, mostly that my average commute between jobs and home is over 1 hour. Ideally, i leave your house 1-2 times per day for no more than 4-5 hours. I do this with your dog's daily routine in mind, and am with them at whatever specific times needed for wake up, feedings etc. I use this time to handle other dogs, do my own errands or just a general break from sitting in the same place for 24 hours. These are obviously just guidelines and they can be altered to suit you and puppykins, and whatever is decided between us is adhered to responsibly every time. I love all dogs and 99% of cats and 95% of people. So much love to give.... I have ALWAYS, well before signing up for this app, cleaned client homes before client returns home. While not a professional, my goal is to always leave property in the same condition or better than I found it, mostly successfully. DON'T LET MY DEMOGRAPHIC FOOL YOU!!! I'm tidy and domesticated and I treat people's space and belongings with the highest level of care. I act as if there is a camera on me at work and in my personal life (and there likely is!). Pets are never unattended except for when I use restroom or quick necessity while tending to other matters of the home. Any and all protocols discussed are strictly adhered to. I take this very seriously. I watch a lot of Judge Judy and Judge Joe Brown helped raise me. I handle people's homes and pets in accordance with their exacting standards towards pet handlers and caretakers

About: I have cared for pets since I can remember! I grew up with two sisters who also loved animals and over the course of my life I have loved many small dogs, cats, turtles, fish, a bird, and a rabbit. I also gained a good amount of experience and knowledge on how to take care of pets through my time working at Pet Supplies Plus, where I would often advise customers on what would be most helpful to get their pets feeling good again. In my time here, I also cared for and helped heal many creatures, including cats, fish, cockatiels, ferrets, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I love bonding with pets and I find it really fulfilling getting to care for them as I get to know them. I have cared for others pets several times throughout my life- largely neighbors and family. Most recently, I got to pet sit while traveling and house sat for two lovely homes in Scotland. I care a lot about making sure that spaces are maintained and I am happy to do any household chores that may arise. I’m currently in university and may need to adjust for my classes, but I can be free after 1 on Wednesday, before 4 on Thursday, and any time Friday-Sunday and Tuesday. I know the best trails to take your pup around in the WNC area and if they have a preferred place to walk, I always love exploring more! I believe in fitting myself into the natural routine of your furry friend wherever I can. If there's a specific time they like to play, eat, or get walked, I'm more than happy to accommodate! With pets that I'm just meeting, I like to meet them where they want to be met, and if that includes playing fetch all day, I'm happy to do so.

“Mikaela is fantastic. Very competent with Baxter; an APBT. I highly recommend her!”

About: I believe that I came into this world with a profound love for all animals. I grew up in rural, Southwest GA, and spent the majority of my childhood days playing with our many dogs and cats. My father was an avid outdoorsman who bred labs for hunting dogs, so I grew up constantly loving and tending to the pups! We also had many outdoor, 'barn' cats which occupied my time. Fast forward to present, I now have a five year old, female Golden Retriever (Josie) of my own and she is my most loyal companion. She is extremely loving, friendly, obedient, and will keep your pet very entertained during the stay! I also have a seven year old cat (Tuna) who is very affectionate, but also values her alone time. I would love the opportunity to watch your furry best friend. Enjoy your trip knowing that your pet is well taken care of and will be treated like a member of the family! Large yard/pasture + creek Tugalo River within 2 miles of home Avid hiker and adventurer Daily walks Whether in my home or in your home, your pet will always be treated with love! Whatever needs your pet has, you can guarantee they will be taken care of! :) I work in the legal field Monday - Friday; however, I can be available before and after work and on the weekends. Since I have 2 fur babies of my own, I am able to provide around-the-clock care. I live on 5 acres (pasture and creek) and have plenty of room for your pup to roam and explore! If needed, dogs can be taken out by leash!

About: Growing up in a small town, I’ve always taken care of dogs including my own, neighbors, friends, and families. I have grown up caring for all dogs, and loved them all as my own. All ages and breeds are welcome! I am a registered nurse and work 3 days a week, my partner works from home and is there most of the day. I always including nightly or morning walks on my work day routines. I have a big beautiful yard dogs can run and play in, we have dog balls/toys to throw. Walking trails right off the driveway which we enjoy morning or nightly!

About: I have taken care of all types of animals throughout my 28 years of life. I can use my experience to love and take care of your pet the way you would. I am currently working part time at Ingles but I'm very flexible and reliable. I just moved here so right now I don't have any clients. I cannot care for pets in my own home. although I would really like to I can't because I rent. If there is anything else I can help with please let me know.

About: Ever since I was 10 I have had experience taking care of animals. At one point in time we had 26 animals throughout our house that we had to care for. I take pride in caring for animals because they are a true joy and blessing in this world. I also have a dog of my own who is very well trained that I have had for 7 years now. I have quite a lot of free time. Therefore, potentially walking and taking care of your pets will not only give me something to fill my time with but also give me immense enjoyment! Any scheduling conflicts you may have won't be a problem for me! My house currently does not have a fence, however I will gladly walk your pets on a leash if need be. I have a lot of experience with animals and have no problem walking or putting your animals in a crate if it is what is needed.

About: I treat your dog as I would want my own dog to be treated. The Golden Rule doesn't just apply to humans. My dog is a Canine Good Citizen so I am good at training puppies. My parents had senior dogs with seizures and diabetes so I am good at giving shots. I'm retired so I have a lot of time on my hands to stay with your pets. I am very flexible as to when I can come to your house. I will treat your pet with the same love and devotion that I give to my own pets. I will adhere to their normal routine so we won't stress them out anymore than they need to be while you're away.

About: I have been dog training for the past 3 years slowly growing my business. I love taking care of animals as it is my passion! I work a few hours during the week but typically my schedule stays pretty open, most of the time I can fit in your needs! I do not have a fenced in yard but I have a nice neighborhood where I can take your dog for plenty of walks and exercise.

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats and hamsters for a couple of years first was my family dog, then my cat in college and roommate’s hamster I only work 2-3 days out of the week for only 2 hours and I am free weekends. Which gives me enough time to care for your pets and spend time with them. I can also care for smaller pets like fish or hamsters if needed. In my home,which is my dorm, I feed my cat twice a day and make sure his water bowl is always full and clean out his litter box at the beginning of each day. In case of a fire I grab my cat with his emergency bag and I have also helped my roommate get her hamster out during a fire drill. I always make sure to spend time playing with them as well. For clients I make sure to care for their pets as I would want anyone else to care for mine; providing the food as asked by the client and cleaning after the pet as asked which includes cleaning the litter box or going for walks and playing with the pets.

“Ashley had been absolutely incredible with my baby! She has been great about checking in and taking really nice photos of Kaiya. She really goes the extra mile to make sure she is well taken care of and you can tell she truly has a love for your pup.”
