Dog Walking in Sand Hills, Augusta, GA

About: Whether it’s a high-energy puppy who loves to play fetch or a senior dog who prefers cozy naps and gentle walks, I tailor my care to fit each dog’s unique needs. I’ve handled everything from feeding routines and medications to cuddle sessions and zoomie breaks — and I love every minute of it! Your dog isn’t just a guest — they’re treated like family. As a full-time dog care provider, my schedule revolves around the well-being and happiness of your pet. I’m available throughout the day, offering flexibility to meet your pup’s needs, whether it's early morning walks, midday playtime, or frequent potty breaks. I prioritize consistency and reliability, ensuring that each dog gets the attention, care, and exercise they deserve — every single day. With my full-time dedication, I’m able to provide a personalized experience for each dog, whether it’s a quiet day at home or an adventure-filled outing. Rest assured, your pup is always my top priority! I have 1 walk, and 1 drop in for dogs outside my home scheduled daily. This requires me to be outside the home at a time for a maximum amount of 1.5 hours per each visit depending on the distance and length of visit. Please prepare accordingly if your pet requires crating, diapers, or anxiety support during my appointment times. Potty break and treats are provided before I leave and after I return. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I've ensured that all play areas are free from hazards. I take every precaution to provide a safe space for dogs of all sizes. Pet first aid kits are in home and with us on adventures. Medicines like dog calming peanut butters and digestive help for dogs with diarrhea are on hand at no cost. I will send you a message for the ok-go to use them if they're needed. Any medications or soothing helps you have are needed and appreciated in your dogs overnight bag during their stay. Each dog gets it's own drawer so medications, treats, doggy bags, etc. don't get mixed up with other pets items during their stay. I have equipment for administering liquid medication as well. You can relax knowing your dog is in caring hands, receiving the attention, love, and supervision they need. With plenty of cozy spots for naps and lots of opportunities for play, your dog will feel right at home — and you’ll feel confident knowing they’re in a safe, loving environment. **PLEASE READ: It's rare, but on occasion I find special care and fees must be applied to some dogs I sit for. I prefer transparency so I've written the rest of this section so there are no surprises. For dogs that are found to have a penchant for rolling in poop, dogs with diarrhea that requires more than baby wipes, dogs that potty inside my home and on my belongings, and dogs that destroy belongings or furniture - any needed dog baths, privates grooming, cleaning costs, and repairs will be added to the stay or negotiated through Rover support depending on the damage. Incident documentation and photographs will be provided to you in our visit conversation. Prices for grooming will be as listed below in, "A Typical Day" and on the menu. Cleaning will be $5 for each inside potty. I can purchase diapers for owners and add them to the visit fees to prevent further necessary indoor potty cleanup. If extensive damage is done we will go through Rover. If you are aware your dog has any of these problems, please notify me before hand. I'm better able to prevent these things from happening if I know in advance and we can plan better together for the care your dog will need during their stay. Dog diapers must be provided for dogs with the bad habit of going potty indoors or for dogs in heat. I provide restroom breaks every 2 hours maximum but this is sometimes not enough for some pets. Crates are required for dogs with destructive habits. This is to ensure a safe, disease-spreading free, hygienic environment for your pet, other pets staying with us, and our family. I do 1 walk and 1 drop in for pets outside my home a day. So for pets that need crating: treats are given going in and coming out of their crate when I leave and return for positive reinforcement. Time crated lasts no longer than 1.5 hours. Potty breaks are given before and after crating. Crating will be utilized if provided during indoor potty clean up to keep your pet away from the initial bleach treatment. If not provided, pets will separated from the area by going into the bathroom. Crating is not used for time outs in our home, only safety. Dog crates remain open as a safe space for your dog to retreat to unless I'm out of home. Other than my dog care outings, I or my husband are always present.**

About: My services include the basic outside time and feeding times, but leave room for walks, baths, and lots of playtime at the pet owner's discretion. I've worked with animals for over 20 years, have learned basic training techniques, been a pet/farm sitter for several families, and have dealt with a variety of breeds (and sizes + ages). Currently, I am living between the Athens, GA area as well as the Augusta, GA area and am happy to accept clients in both regions! I graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in Animal Science and have decided that I want to devote my life to working with animals. Heading on vacation? Need a dog walker? Let's chat and see if we'll be a good fit! If you're a new client, I'd love to set up a time to meet prior to booking. I'm looking forward to getting to know you and your four-legged friend(s)! __________ Why do I love pet sitting? I've been a dog-lover my entire life. I grew up with cats, and decided that for my 16th birthday I wanted a dog instead of a car. I grew up volunteering at the local CSRA Humane Society - from dog walking to helping the vet tech there, my love for animals grew. It’s where I adopted my first dogs, Lorraine and MJ. It's my passion for animals that then led me to study Animal Science in college, and through my studies, I gained valuable experience with a variety of species. I am happy to watch your dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, reptiles, and the like! Do I have experience administering medication? Yes; I have spent several years working alongside a vet tech, and have become comfortable administering a variety of medications and treatments. Providing top-quality animal care is my priority! I work full time as a pet + farm sitter as well as do some freelance work on the side. My schedule is flexible depending on the needs of your pets. I do not provide care in my home at this time. Care will be dependent upon the environment of the location in which I am providing my services.

“Hannah is such a great and reliable dog walker! She was great about communicating and sending updates and has always given plenty of notice if something came up to change the schedule on any day. Two thumbs way up!!”

My routine revolves around keeping pets happy, healthy, and engaged—whether it’s morning walks, playtime in the yard, structured feeding schedules, or just being there for company and cuddles throughout the day. I’m always nearby to monitor behavior, administer medications if needed, and respond quickly to any needs that come up.

About: I’ve grown up with pets of all kinds my entire life and have nothing but love and care for them. Ever since I could remember I have had at least one per in my household. I’ve taken care of multiple dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters and just about everything you can think of. I met my partner 3 years ago and have helped her take care of her Siberian husky ever since After a year I decided to adopt my own husky and have been taking care of a 3 year old and 10 year old huskies. I take them on daily walks, play with them throughout the day and make sure they always get their medication, love and care they need. I currently a full time remote position. My typical day is 9am - 5pm and I only have a few meetings a week. This always me to work and take frequent breaks to play with my dogs and let them run around outside in our fenced in backyard. I have two friendly huskies in my home. One is 10 years old and the other is 3 years old so any pup wanting to stay will have companions to play with. We also have a fenced in backyard where the dogs can roam and play. We have multiple rooms so if dogs need to be separated for any reason it is easily attainable. We are extremely pet friendly so dogs are allowed in furniture. Pets deserve the best care and life we can give them.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since childhood. When I was 9, my mom would bring home strays of all kinds and we would nurse them back to health the best we could and then find responsible owners. I’m talking cats, dogs, birds, lizards, etc! If we found an animal that needed help, we took it home and tried our best to love it! My mom was my inspiration and I’ve continued doing this for years. I’m responsible and loving and patient! Trust me to care for your babies and you won’t be disappointed! I’m retired from full time work. I do work part time but it’s based upon my preferences. My husband is also retired and is home all day. My Yorkie is given free range of our spacious home. We walk him 2 times per day. Although our yard isn’t fenced, we sit outside with our dog frequently and have a nice play area for dogs. They will never be left alone!

“Julia is wonderful! Always on time and very polite. It is obvious she loves animals. Our little adopted 7 year old Boston Terrier bonded with her immediately. For us it is really important that she walks and visits with Tito the entire 30 minute time frame. She walks Tito 2x each day as we work 10-12 hour shifts. So far she is our first dog walker that has! We highly highly recommend her!!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was young. Now I have 3 cats, 1 white German shepherd, and also a baby hamster. I’ve walked my neighbors dogs since I was 12 up until 16 when I moved. I also potty trained and taught my pets tricks by myself. Since I live in a dorm now I only have my cat and hamster with me. My dog is being taken care of by my parents. But pet care is a daily thing for me I can do anything you need and ask of me, from walking them to keeping them active and feeding them. I’m also available to accompany them overnight at your house.

About: Working as a psychiatric nurse with a flexible schedule I’ve always taken care of my friends animals during my off days as a form of animal therapy and to help them out. I understand the importance of animals to families and mental health so I do my absolute best when I’m working with/hanging out with any animal or owner. My favorite things include snuggles on couches with the animals and long walks. I’m currently working a set Monday and Tuesday schedule as a nurse. Therefore, I’m home all day most Wednesday’s and Thursday-Sunday’s except for extra PRN shifts, trips to the gym or grocery store. I am good with reactive dogs, owning one myself and after many behavioral health lessons with him, I feel extra affection for them. I am used to early hours and make sure to take out all the animals early and often to avoid accidents, but mostly to give them the exercise they need. My house is kept free of potential hazards for any animals so your loved ones can be kept safe.

About: I chronicle each day with a text message or email with photos of your pet. (Written 1st person from your pet). Walks in different parks each day at least twice a day. I care for each pet as if it is my own. I lost my shih Tzu 9/17 who I had for over 10 years after my mother died. I've had 3 retrievers and 3 cats at the same time. My home is their home. I adhere to a client's needs and desires for their pets. I am available 7 days a week for full time and part time sitting and care. My schedule is flexible. I work full-time; however, I come home during the day to let your pet out and also go for a walk. I live in the Forest Hills area of Augusta in a house with a fenced-in backyard and screened in porch. I take your pet on walks along the Augusta Canal, downtown on the river and also on campus at the Summerville Campus at Augusta University. If your pet sleeps in the bed or on furniture, then this is their home away from home. I currently work full-time and come home at lunch to walk and let your pet out. My days off vary weekly. I will only care for one pet at a time unless the owner has two. I have a fenced in backyard where they can run or hang out. If a pet is allowed on furniture and sleeps in bed, then this is their home away from home. I allow pets on furniture and sleep in bed with me. I always send pictures of their pets and details about what we have done for the day. I do not own any pets - I cannot change the information in my profile.

“Amazing!!”

About: My name’s Dalton, I’m 33 years old and love all animals. Even the grumpy ones! I’ve had a dog all 33 years and actually raised, bred, and showed german shepherds for most of my life with my Dad so I have newborn pup experience as well. My friends call me the dog whisperer because I end up spending more time talking to their dog than them 😂. Caring for animals and the environment is a passion of mine and I have aspirations of having a small self sustaining farm one day because of my experiences in life with all the different types of animals I’ve cared for. I’d love to meet your doggo and promise to treat them with nothing but love! If you have any questions just ask. Super excited to be here 😊 I make my own schedule! If a doggo needs me and I’m available then I can pick back up on work whenever. Honestly, I’m probably going to hang as long as can I currently am only able to do house calls but can spend multiple hours or overnight stays. Let’s talk about their needs and I’ll help!

About: I’ve learned about dog care since I was six and I’ve dog sitted for my cousins. I was happy to be the supervisor of two dogs at one family reunion. my work schedule is different every week but most of of the week is free generally :) only three or four of the days are work days usually, but two of them are almost always 4pm to 7 pm I am happy to take your dog on a walk if you’d like me to. I know Augusta University is a great place for walking dogs.
