Dog Walking Sandy Cross

About: For as long as I remember, animals have been the only constant defining piece of the puzzle that is my life. I have personally raised dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, birds, hamsters, goats and a lamb! Training, raising and saving animals gives me hope and a purpose. My experience goes all the way back to my first dog at the age of 9, who passed at the old age of 16.5years old in 2025. I have ridden and worked with horses for many years, as well as started my dog training journey in my later teens, turning it into my profession ever since. My goal is to provide top quality care to pet owners, as I understand the trust it takes to leave your pets behind and do not take that responsibility lightly. I know how I want my animals treated should I ever have to leave them, so I strive to give that same (picky) care to other owners. I have boarded & trained dogs for over 4 years and plan to open a boarding facility for both canines & equines in the future. I am a stay at home mom so I will usually be home more than 90% of the time to spend with your pet, with three dogs of my own, one cat and our farm animals. Both my inside dogs are crate trained, house trained, and one of them has his Canine Good Citizen Cert. the other is a young female working on her mannerisms but very friendly. Our third pup is our outside guardian livestock dog. We have four beautiful acres for lots of play and exercise. Most of the acreage is fenced, and our house is gated off. I am able to crate dogs if necessary, but am home most of the time so crating usually only at night time if applicable. They will be able to take as many potty breaks needed, get lots of play time, of course attention, and have access to water all day long (unless otherwise specified). Note* If they are not good with cats, that is not a problem as mine stays separated from any dogs beside my own.

About: I grew up in agriculture caring for all sorts of animals. From raising my own show hogs to rasing 20+ rabbits, to my own dogs, and working in Veterinary hospitals, commercial swine and poultry industries, I have seen it all! I have a two German Shorthaired Pointers, one that is 3 years old and another that is 2 years old. My husband and I upland hunt with them all over the state of Georgia and beyond. I also have a 16 year old Beagle/Min Pin mix who is my heart and soul and is a couch potato. We recently had our other dog who was a Red Heeler/Australian Shepherd who sadly passed away from cancer. I am capable of caring for pets of all ages and energy levels!! I do have a full time job in the Poultry Industry in Gainesville so I will be gone during 6am-2:30pm. Most families I pet sit for have no issues with that, but others require someone to be there all day. If you have any scheduling questions, please feel free to reach out to me. From my experience from working at a local animal hospital in Gainesville, GA along with working in the Poultry and Swine industries, I have ample amounts of training in animal welfare. Whether you have a household pet or farm animals, I am confident that I am capable for caring for any kind of pet! With my 3 dogs that very from young to old, lazy to high drive and energetic, I create a safe environment in my home so my dogs are safe and free of unnecessary harm. With our hunting dogs, my husband and I train them year round and exercise them at our family farm to give them the mental stimulation they need so they don't ruin our house! During bad weather, I usually prepare lick mats, raw-hide free bones, or some kind of enrichment treat.

We have a huge fenced in back yard and three wonderful fur babies to keep your dog company. We don't let the dogs outside in the yard unsupervised. We can also crate your dog if it's needed.

About: I’m a fun loving dog sitter. I love playing with dogs, walking with them, and giving them tummy rubs. Being lazy is another quality I’m good at when me and the dog(s) don’t have anything better to do. I really do love animals. Their like fluffy teddy bears. Dogs deserve all the love and attention in the world.
