“Literally the best ever. Walked him on the best holiday of the year (Halloween) on super short notice and still had an excited attitude toward walking my gremlin of a dog.”

“Hollie is the best! He was so accommodating when I called last minute to walk my Taterbug (especially since he is not easy to walk). Hollie just does a great job all around!”

“Camryn was so sweet and punctual! She always made sure to send pictures and she took really great care of my fur babies. She took great care of my anxious dog and was so respectful to his needs.”

About: I have had pets ( a zoo almost) my whole life. At the age of eight I received my first dog of my own and with that I gained the responsibility of caring for her on my own. Ever since then, my family has yearly gotten a new pet. We have cared for rabbits, turtles, frogs, aquarium animals, dogs, cats, squirrels. We have bred our family dogs and cats in between the years so I am very experienced with pregnant animals, or very young animals. I graduated from Kennesaw State University in 2021. I currently am not working, so I am home all day! Thanks bunches Madison I currently am not working, and enjoy staying home with my dog Winnie. I have full availability for care and only leave for random / occasional errands. We are currently living on the 5th floor of an apartment building, therefore it is a smaller space. I have access to a large grass area as well as a super close walking trail for daily walks.
“Lindsay was great to work with and was able to help on short notice. I was able to relax while away because I could tell Lindsay felt perfectly fine with my pit bull and was already used to all the clunky/loveable things they’re notorious for. Even though I just needed someone to walk him, she asked a lot of questions regarding his care so I could tell she was really invested. It’s clear Lindsay isn’t just a dog walker, but a dog person. Will absolutely trust her with my pup again.”

About: Hi! I have taken care of pets from different backgrounds and families and am willing to adjust and accommodate to any environment that is needed for the pet I currently work a full time job in Short Pump and commute home to the city. I am able to work around pet parents schedules if given enough notice in advance, and I appreciate those willing to work with my own schedule as well. No access to a yard for pups, and I do not have the space to accommodate for pups, therefore for boarding purposes I can only care for cats. I have an extra litter box, toys, and treats for your pet. Please feel free to bring your pets own food and their personal toys if necessary.
About: I have a Great Dane who is sensitive, so I know how to be patient with animals. I also have the ability to handle XL sized dogs. I have also fostered dogs before and have always had an animal in my life. *Please try and contact me at least a few days before you’d like me to take care of your animals, as I have 3 repeat bookings during the week and get booked quite fast! I also require a meet and greet beforehand as I would like to meet the animal/animals and know all the details so I can write them down for reference! I’m a professional pet sitter, so during the week I have clients between 10:30AM-1:30PM. I also take my boyfriend to work, but am more than willing to fit your pet(s) in! I have a Great Dane and a cat who have free roam in my apartment. I also have a giant crate if needed. I take my dog out multiple times and day and provide exercise to ensure optimum health.
About: My name is Mary Catherine, also known as Katie. I am a nationally certified and licensed Veterinary Technician. I have been involved in veterinary medicine and shelter work since 2005. I currently have 3 cats of my own, and have had dogs and cats and various other animals all my life. I know how very important it is to find someone you trust to care for your babies while out of town or in need of assistance. I would love to be that person to care for your beloved family member when you need someone to walk them, care for them while you are out of town, or stop in to give medications and TLC! I am not only a dog lover, but a self proclaimed cat lady and would love to care for your feline friends as well!
About: Hi my name is Joyce and I love working with animals as I have many animals of my own. I have a pup, a baby hamster, a turtle and 2 fish. I love animals and I treat them like they are my children. My skills are walking my pup (this includes a nice walk, and picking up their feces with a plastic bag), bathing them when needed, feeding them and playing with them. I make sure my fish and turtle are fed and their tanks are cleaned and up to date. I also make sure my hamster is fed and his cage is cleaned and up to date. All other animals are treated the same with lots of loyalty, much respect and lots of love. I’m currently working part-time on the weekends, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and show them all the attention they need! I Have two friendly pups that will keep your fur baby company! But if your dog don’t get along with other dogs I can keep them separated to make your fur baby is more comfortable. I’m currently working part-time. So I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pups and give them all the attention they need!! :) :) I have a nice size back yard and I also got a pup of my own that can keep your fur baby company! She’s very playful and If needed I can easily crate her.
About: I am a young and active student that would love to spend her time off loving on your babies. I love going on walks and love it even more when I have furry company! I’m a nursing student that is home for my last semester before graduation. I’m looking to care for some cuddly creatures and get my steps in while i’m at it! My schedule is very flexible and I’m available to stay and play with your fur babies and give them lots of love and attention while i’m there! In my home, I have a fenced in yard with one other precious pup named Sunny who is the most friendly and sweet. In your home, I will adapt to your babies’ regular schedule and activities.
About: I’ve always had dogs around in my life. I’m a creative who has free time, enjoys animals and loves to be of service to others where I can! I work from home which gives me time to care for your pets in the morning, afternoon and evenings! I would never be gone longer than 4 hours. In the clients home I would become knowledgeable about the pets routine, diet, and any specific needs or requirements to help understand the pets behavior, likes, dislikes and anything I can do to help the pet feel more comfortable in their own home!
“Ashley is very sweet and communicative, she follows directions. she also took great care of my baby and look forward to another walk soon! Thank you so much for taking care of him!”
