Dog Walkers in Sandy Cross, GA

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 commercial swine and poultry industries, I have seen it all! I have a two German Shorthaired Pointers, one that is 2 years old and another that is 10 months old. My husband and I upland hunt with them all over the state of Georgia and beyond. I also have a 15 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.

“Kayla did a great job walking our dog. You can clearly tell she really loves and cares about animals, she is very easy to communicate with, and we have already booked her for more walks!”

About: I believe that your babies should feel like they are on vacation too! I am a dedicated animal lover with a mini farm in Commerce. I have 2 horses and (very friendly, all spayed/neutered) dogs. Dogs love to come play in my big fenced yard. I have a plenty of toys, some agility equipment and LOTS of space to run. I used to work full time for a dog rescue on a private farm with 19 older dogs, all requiring special care, so I have plenty of experience! I can also farm sit for those with horses or other farm animals. I have also worked as a vet tech in the past and can administer medications, if ever needed. And now I work from home full time so I am home all day with my pups! Contact me today and let me help you with any of your baby's needs! Happy to have your pups come stay with me and play! I work from home full time so your pups can be as spoiled as mine are! We like to go for walks and play ball every day. My yard is fully fenced with no climb fencing so your babies will be safe and happy with me! I do have horses, but they are fenced separately from the dogs so your pups will be safe.

“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!”

With over 15 years of pet care experience I am equipped to care for dogs of varying breeds, ages, and training levels. I am comfortable working on basic training skills with young dogs, and providing specialized care to senior dogs.

That experience has also awarded me the insight be to able to monitor your pet’s behavior and activity in a way that will ensure their safety and overall health while in my care. My services are not limited to basic walks and drop-ins. We can go for a hike, swim in the lake, or go spend a day at the dog park! If there is a specific experience you wish for your pet to have on our day together let me know and I’m happy to try to accommodate!

I ask a lot of questions and work with my client to follow the routines they already have set for their pets to make sure they always feel safe and comfortable. I like to do an introductory meeting at least a couple days before our scheduled time together to meet with your pet to determine if we will be a good fit for each other. If we venture out for a walk I have a crate secured in the car to safely transport pets from one location to another. I bring a portable water bowl and a bottle of fresh water on all walks so your pet will stay hydrated throughout our time together. If you choose to have me accompany your pet to the lake I ask that you please provide a life jacket for them so I can help provide the safest play space possible.
