Dog Walking in Rome

“Meaghan is awesome! She's great with dogs and was very good at accommodating my schedule. She has a personality that just fits someone who is great with animals. She is timely and I loved the pic she sent after the walk.”

“Erin is amazing! She sends me amazing videos and goes above and beyond. She took lyla on a very extended walk just because she’s a sweetheart. I could not recommend Erin enough. She’s always on time, and truly loves taking care of animals!”

About: I can’t remember a time in my life I haven’t had at least 4 or 5 dogs around me. My family calls me a dog whisperer. Me and dogs just.. understand each other… I think they read the “grandparent” energy I have for them! Every dog loves me because I take care of them and listen to them. I have a beautiful 5 acres and the house for them to stay in and also a 1,200 square foot air conditioned clean garage for them to play in as well as a good yard and a perfect place to walk them if anyone likes their dogs to have extra walks. I’d love to take care of your babies for any reason! I’m pretty flexible so just let me know what you have in mind. I’m available all day every day pick up or drop off. Anytime any day. Dog boarding and grooming and training is what I do and no one does it better! I care for all animals as if they were my own babies. Animals have this pure energy that comes from them and we just understand each other. I love playing with and being around the animals and they love to be around me the same way. I make sure to be careful about leaving dogs unattended I always assure safety first. But a close second to safety is freedom. They love feeling free. And I offer them that safely.

About: Growing up in Sydney, Australia, I spent my summers helping pets beat the heat by shaving and bathing them—a skill I learned early on while grooming my mother’s purebred Shih Tzus and raising puppies. My passion for animals didn’t stop there; I volunteered at a local vet clinic, gaining hands-on experience that would shape my future. In college, my love for animals and creativity merged when I trained my dog for a short film that placed 4th out of 80 student projects. Now living in Georgia, USA, I run a small farm and bring a lifetime of pet care expertise to the table. From fostering kittens to rescuing strays, I’ve always had a heart for animals. My experience spans the spectrum of pets—from dogs and cats to reptiles, rodents, and even farm animals like goats, pigs, chickens, and ducks. I’ve cared for them all, and my home has always been filled with the love of a pet. What sets me apart? Whether it’s caring for a senior dog, socializing a shy cat, or giving special attention to a reptile, I’ve done it all. My unique background and lifelong commitment to animals make me more than just a pet sitter—I’m a dedicated caretaker who ensures every pet feels right at home. I run a small art business from home, providing me with a flexible schedule. I am available all day, every day, to accommodate your pet care needs. Detailed care requirements should be discussed in advance to ensure I can meet all your pets' specific needs. Feel free to reach out to discuss how I can best support you and your furry friends! How Do I Keep Your Pet Safe in My Care? (My home) First things first, I’ll introduce myself and send you a list of important questions. Once you answer them, we’ll have a detailed chat about any concerns or questions either of us might have based on your responses. From there, we’ll determine if I’m the best fit for you and your fur baby. If we’re both happy with the outcome, we’ll proceed with the booking. I’ll take notes and create a personalized care plan tailored to your pet’s needs and safety. We can also arrange a meet-up or a face-to-face video call—whatever makes you feel most comfortable. Or, if you prefer, we can do the meet-and-greet on the day of drop-off. Boarding in My Home I provide pet care in a controlled and secure environment. I can supply beds, crates, bowls, toys, leads, and even collars if needed. The only thing I require you to bring (aside from your furry friend!) is their food, as switching diets can upset their stomach. For Dogs: On the first day, I introduce boarding dogs to my home slowly. I allow them to explore in a calm environment while everything stays quiet, giving them time to acclimate. They’ll have access to comfortable beds, fun toys, and a fully fenced yard to enjoy. I only board one client’s dogs at a time to avoid mixing unfamiliar dogs, which could pose a safety risk. If you have multiple dogs from the same household, let me know, and we’ll schedule them together. This approach ensures each dog gets my full attention. During walks, I carry compressed air and, in serious situations, mace to protect your dog from aggressive animals. For Cats: When boarding cats, I set them up in my quiet, sound-tight office to help them settle in. I give them at least 10 minutes of alone time to explore before gently introducing myself. Every cat adjusts at their own pace, and I provide them with as much time as they need to feel comfortable. Just like with dogs, I never mix cats from different households. If you have multiple cats needing boarding, I will schedule them together, but I never double up on different clients’ cats to ensure their safety and comfort. ⸻ My Commitment to Your Pet’s Safety I provide a secure, comfortable, and loving environment for your pets. My goal is to ensure that both you and your pet feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while they stay with me. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m happy to chat!

About: 20 years ago, my first baby was a harlequin Great Dane puppy. After her we had another dane puppy and are now the parents of a spunky tabby cat. I’m a stay at home homeschool mom and I have time during the day when I can take breaks from my kids as they do their work on their own. I have a very flexible schedule. Each pet has its own personality, and it’s important to learn what they like and dislike to make them happy and comfortable. A client’s home is always to be respected and their pet to be treated with the best care and love.

“Great service ! On time and took great care of our dogs. Helped us out in a last minute booking, will book again and highly recommend!”

About: Growing up, we always had animals in the house- cats and dogs and I would help care for them. My dog was sick and I would stay up with him and take care of him and make sure he was well cared for. I also volunteered at the local animal shelter as I was growing up. This past year my roommate had 2 puppies that I helped take care of and helped to train. I also have house and pet sit for people in my church and really enjoyed getting to do that service for them. In college, I was a pre-vet major and I love taking care of and spending time with animals! I would love the opportunity to care for and give your animals the additional attention and love they need:) I also have 2 cats and love them so much- hope to get a dog soon! I have full availability and am able to walk your pet, stay in your home, and anything and everything in between. I have full availability and love to walk animals, play with them, etc. I am extremely flexible and work at home at the moment and love to be active with pets! I have 2 indoor cats at home and they have 2 water fountains, a regularly cleaned litter box, a cat tower and all the love and toys they could have! I would care for any pets as if they were my own!

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for 30 years. I am an intuitive, attentive caregiver for pets and people alike. I know that your pet's physical and mental well-being are equally important and recognize that sometimes we just need a little extra. Sometimes it's a walk, sometimes it's a belly rub. Whatever it is I love to figure out and help those in my care feel as comfortable and secure as possible. I am a stay at home, homeschooling mom of three older children with a flexible schedule. I can easily accommodate a pet's needs into my day-to-day routine. I have a fenced back yard with lots of shade and a deck. Dogs are welcome inside. I have three indoor/outdoor cats. As long as your pup won't try to eat them, we'll be fine ;) I regularly walk every day and can walk or run your pup as needed!

“Monica was fabulous with my high energetic 15 month old lab. She went above and beyond my expectations and would definitely use her again. It was a pleasure to work with her.”

About: I love caring for animals of all kinds and have done so for many years since I was a young kid. I worked at an animal hospital for 2 years, where I learned many skills I did not have before. I am currently in nursing school and have one cat of my own. When I am at home outside of school semesters, I take care of my parents four cats and one dog. I have experience giving medications to clients' pets and my own pets. Whether it’s an injection, topical, or a pill, I can do it all! I have experience with bottle-feeding newborn puppies and kittens and with nursing mothers and their babies. I'm currently in nursing school, so my schedule is very tight during the week. However, I have availability Friday afternoons and anytime during the weekends to take care of your furbabies! I will make sure to keep your furbaby comfortable and loved. Their comfort is my number one priority, so I will ensure this at all times. I will also discuss with the pet parents any concerns they may have about their pet. I send updates with photos at every visit to keep the pet parent up to date with what is going on.

About: I was a dog mom for close to 15 years so I am familiar with all stages from puppy to senior dog. I've also fostered and cared for dogs and cats of various ages and sizes. I understand it is hard to leave your pet and am happy to help provide that needed care in the hours you are away to make it easier for both pet and human! I'm am teacher on summer break and can pop in for feedings, visits, and walks as my schedule allows! During the school year my availability will change some and I will update my profile to reflect this. I will be sure to follow the guidelines and instructions you provide for your pet. I know care can be very specific an I am a detail oriented person that will be sure to follow the care routine you prefer.

“Took care of my dog and was exactly on time. I would definitely recommend.”

About: I’m an active and passionate animal lover with extensive experience rescuing Siberian huskies and Northern breeds. While I specialize in larger dogs, I love all pups and am skilled in basic training and leash work. I also have three cats and have been cat-sitting since childhood. Whether your pet is shy or energetic, I’ll ensure they feel comfortable and loved in my care. I’m a passionate animal lover who works from home, allowing me to dedicate time to care for your pet. I enjoy staying active, so your pup will get a great walk, and your kitty will have a fun play session! I have a fenced in yard for your pup to play in and a comfortable, temperature controlled pet area in my garage for boarding, if need be! I have cats, so I prefer to keep pets separated. However the services I offer at the moment are drop in visits and dog walking!

Right now i have a completely open availability to watch and take care of animals everyday and every hour, so it fits in as it pleases and as anyone needs! In my home i make sure to research or know an animal before i take care of it and with my clients it would be absolutely no different as i would make sure to do the things they need but also what the client wants as that is how their pet was raised!

About: I was raised in an animal shelter, one that my father was the director of for more than a decade. As I grew into my teenage years, I began pet sitting for family friends. As I grew into a young adult, I continued sitting and working as a veterinary assistant. I’ve been a full time veterinary assistant at one of Rome’s top veterinary clinics for almost 5 years now. I am constantly training, handling, and observing pets. My top interests are behavior and training. I’ve taken care of the small animals including dogs and cats, but also farm animals. I believe that providing stimulation and enrichment is a powerful tool for high drive breeds. I am very well educated on breed specific needs. I also have some experience with farm animals (chickens, goats, etc). My services include: training, midday walks, daily check ins, and overnight stays. I’ve been expanding my clientele, and would love for your fur family to join my pack! I am a full time veterinary assistant with an allotted hour for lunch. This hour varies based on my schedule. If your pets are out of range for me to travel during my lunch, a second check in can be arranged later in the evening. My hours range from 7a-6p during the weekdays. I have Thursdays and have Sundays off. Instructions provided by owners are strictly followed. Details of how they are cared for in your home depends on the service chosen by owner. Communication is key between owner and sitter! Meetings are usually scheduled before a booking begins.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a teenager. My friends and family have relied on me for pet sitting, walking their pets, spending quality time with their pets, feeding them and bathing them. I currently work full time but normal hours, 8-5pm. Most of my availability is on the weekends, how I am available in morning and evenings to stop in and check on your pets or feed theme I have a fenced in yard and two very friendly dogs that love to play with other dogs. I also have a cat who is comfortable around dogs. I have a crate available that can be used if needed. We live in a safe neighborhood for walking dogs.
