Dog Walkers in Watkinsville, GA

About: I've taken care of all types of dogs and have been a pet sitter since 2002. I've owned dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, chinchillas, and chickens. In college, I worked for a mobile dog groomer. I'm a marine biologist, so I work offshore often. My schedule has me at sea for 3-6 weeks and then home for a few weeks where I'm fully available to look after your fur babies! I'll be sure to keep my availability updated so you know when I'm around to help out. You know your animals and what they need to be happy and thrive, so I'll do my best to always make sure they're cared for in the way you prefer.

About: My name is Morgan, and much of my adult career has been dedicated to caring for animals. Not just dogs either! I’ve cared for cats, ferrets, fish, turtles, lizards, and even rats! My first job in the animal care field was working in a pet-rehab center focused on aqua-based therapy. I then moved into dog walking and pet sitting, which to this day has been my favorite job! In 2023, I obtained my apprenticeship for dog grooming, which I also hold a special place in my heart for and love. I will always be willing to help you give your dog a bath, nail trim, or even a haircut in addition to dropping in if it is a needed service for your pup. I take a lot of pride in treating others’ pets as I would and do my own and my biggest goal is building a rapport with you and your pet. I want you to be able to know and fully trust that your furry best friend is in the best hands possible in your absence. Caring for others’ pets is my full-time gig! I will always be available to check in and give your dog a walk, a trip to the park, a potty break, or just some good old lovin’! I care for pets by closely following the instructions the pet parent provides. My biggest concern in regards to my pet care is safety and what is best for your pet! I also have a rowdy, but very friendly beagle named Daisy who would love to also spend time with me and your pup (only if specifically requested).

“Very flexible and is so good with my dog!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. As a cat owner myself, I understand the unique needs of felines, and I provide a comfortable, loving environment for all pets. As someone who works from home, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m able to provide regular feeding, playtime, and walks throughout the day, ensuring your pet receives consistent attention. With a flexible schedule, I can accommodate special needs and adjust routines as required, all while keeping your pet safe and happy. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a comfortable and safe environment with plenty of space to play, relax, and receive attention. I follow your pet’s regular routine for feeding, exercise, and rest, while offering extra care if needed, such as medication administration or special dietary needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to keep their environment familiar and stress-free. I stick to their regular routines for feeding, walks, and playtime. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions for their care, ensuring they feel secure and comfortable while you’re away.

About: My experience consists of watching family and friends dogs and occasionally cats. I had a small yorkie with hip dysplasia and cushings that required meds frequently and I had a black lab mix that has also passed away, who was blind in one eye and deaf. I offer companionship and exercise for your pets when you're away. I can help with training, taking them for long walks, going to the restroom, administering medications, or just being an awesome petter for your puppy (because all dogs are puppies, no matter how old). I usually work the weekends from 8-4pm, but am usually up very early and can walk your dog as early as 5am if needed. During the week I can stop by and check or walk your pet in the morning or afternoon. Wed-Sun I can watch/walk them at night as well. When I walk my dogs, I prefer them to be in a harness for their comfort and safety. I make sure to watch the dogs closely, so if I see any signs of stress, I will promptly remove them from the situation. During the summer months especially, I will make sure to walk them early in the morning or in well shaded areas to make sure their paws are well protected from the hot pavement. I carry a dog water bottle with me on my walks, so they always have access to clean water if needed. When dog sitting, I take them out constantly, offer lots of playtime and stimulation while there, and always make sure the area is clean.

About: Dogs all have their own personalities, and I love getting to know each one. I’m great at reading body language and adjusting to what your dog needs, whether that’s space, extra patience, or all the cuddles. I also have experience with basic training and reinforcing good habits during walks and playtime, so your dog gets consistency and care. My goal is to make sure every tail wag is genuine and every pup feels safe, happy, and understood while you’re away. I currently work 8:00am to 5:00pm or 9:00am to 6:00pm depending on the day. I am not opposed to using my lunch break to check on pups either. So I'm there for your pups in the evening and on the weekends! Once January 2026 hits I'll hopefully be able to start working from home to give any doggos more attention during the day! In my home, dogs have free range of the downstairs area, with plenty of space to relax and play. Potty breaks are frequent and flexible, and I’m happy to bell-train if owners want that extra convenience. Since I have stairs, I can block them off for senior pups or dogs who aren’t comfortable using them. My neighborhood is very dog-friendly and walkable, so your pup will enjoy safe, regular walks and fresh air. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I adapt fully to your space and routine to keep your dog comfortable and stress-free. I follow your instructions closely, making sure feeding, walks, and playtime feel familiar, so your pet stays happy and secure even while you’re away.

About: It’d be an honor to serve you and your devoted companion. I currently work as a kennel technician for a company that specializes in training K9s for government and police use. At times, I’m responsible for the wellbeing of 20+ GSDs! Although the job isn’t easy, I’m excited to emBARK on the adventure of gaining certifications in dog training. I also attend UGA as a wildlife pre-vet student. I find all aspects of animals fascinating! I grew up in rural south eastern GA where I developed a deep passion for wanting to work with various animals. That’s to say, I have working knowledge and experience of handling various types of animals. Some of the pets I had growing up: hermit crabs, toads, lizards, dogs, cats, hunting dogs, parakeets, fish. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask! I’m an active and involved community member. In my free time I enjoy volunteering with various organizations. Please contact me for more information about my availability. I currently don’t have any pets; your animal would have my undivided attention. I know how to treat basic wounds, administer medication, look for behavioral issues, and other possible health issues. These task are part of my job as a kennel technician and I’ve spent some time in a few vet clinics.

“Diane was reliable and did an excellent job of walking my puppy each morning while I was at work. I really appreciated her help!”

About: After graduating from the University of Georgia with a degree in Animal Science, I began working in the pet care industry. I've worked with animals for over 20 years, have learned basic training techniques, been a pet/farm sitter for several families, and am comfortable with a variety of breeds (and sizes + ages). 🥾🐾SPECIAL SERVICE🐾🥾 Do you want your pup to have a bit more excitement than just the normal neighborhood walk? Let me know, and we can arrange for a local hike! Heading on vacation? Have a long work day? 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.

“I adopted my dog Charlie a year ago. She’s very attached to me and becomes frightened to be away from me. Sophia is very patient and gentle with her and Charlie is gaining confidence with each walk. Great communication and very friendly. I highly recommend Sophia.”

“She's walked my dog Dottie twice, and it went very well both times. Luciana is friendly and personable, and seems very trust-worthy. Highly recommend!!!”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover and pre-veterinary student who’s passionate about providing the best care possible for every pet. I am currently also working as a veterinary assistant while I apply to vet school:) I share my home with two wonderful pups (a crazy terrier and a sweet lab mix), and 3 sweet kitties (a senior and 2 younger rescues), so I understand how different every pet’s personality and needs can be. From playful puppies to senior dogs who may need medications or just a little extra patience and care, I have hands-on experience making sure each pet feels happy, healthy, and loved. Before becoming a vet assistant, I worked as a kennel technician and doggy daycare attendant, and I grew up as the designated dog-sitter for neighbors and friends. Those experiences taught me how to make every pet feel safe and comfortable, whether we’re out on a walk, playing, or just relaxing together. Your dog will always be cared for like my own, with love, attention, and expert knowledge of their health and behavior. While dogs and cats are more my specialty, I’ve also cared for a variety of my own exotic pets over the years, including birds, rabbits, reptiles, and fish, so your whole crew will be in good hands with me! I’m a student with relatively flexible afternoons, evenings, and weekends, which makes it easy for me to stop by for walks, playtime, or check-ins. During the week, I’m available most afternoons and evenings and some mornings, and my weekend is usually very flexible depending on my work schedule. Your pets’ safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With my background as a veterinary assistant, I’m trained to recognize signs of stress or illness and handle pets safely and calmly in any situation. I will always follow your instructions closely, whether it’s feeding routines, medication schedules, or favorite walking routes, I aim to keep things consistent and stress-free for your fur-babies. I will treat your space with the same respect I give my own, making sure your pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I take extra care with doors, gates, and leashes to ensure everyone stays safe. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pets are in loving, capable hands while you’re away.

“Andrea is an excellent dog walker. She is extremely attentive and thoughtful. My Mercy loves her and she takes really good care of my girl.. She has been such a gift and a trusted friend to both of us since day 1. I highly recommend her services. She is a gem!♥️”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was ten years old for neighbors and family. I have a bachelors in animal science from UGA and currently work in a local animal clinic for cats and dogs. This clinic offers regular and medical boarding and I am comfortable with animals in all stages of life as well as those that might require a little extra time and attention. I am CPR certified and have training to administer medications and fluids and monitor critically ill patients. I work Mondays-Thursday’s 7:30-6 and can be flexible with a lunch hour to provide for all types of needs. I am open all weekends and holidays. I have one sweet medium sized fur baby who is a shepherd mix, she is friendly with all sizes and breeds. I typically care for pets in a clients home as I find this can minimize stress related clinical signs from manifesting. I love to be active and can incorporate that into your high energy pets needs or can snuggle with your low energy pet and read a book. I monitor my dogs food and water intake closely and actively observe them when outside, I treat all my pet sitting babies the same as I would my own girl.

“Linda is awesome! She was very helpful in explaining how Rover works, since this was my first time using it. She made sure we had given all the information that she would need ahead of time, and she also communicated detailed updates about the well-being of our fur baby. 5/5 recommend!”
