Dog Walking West Athens

About: Your pet’s new favorite visitor. 🐾🐕 Hi! My name is Laileen. 💕 I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and spending time with them has always been one of my favorite things. I’m currently in college working toward my dream of becoming a veterinarian, so getting to care for pets while working toward that goal truly means a lot to me. As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it can be to trust someone else with your furry family member. Whether you’re away for a few hours or a few days, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and lots of love. Some pets love long walks and playtime, while others are happiest relaxing on the couch or getting belly rubs. Whatever makes your pet happiest, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is getting to know each pet’s unique personality. There’s nothing better than earning their trust (and maybe becoming their new best friend too!). 🐾 I’ll always treat your pet like family and care for them the same way I’d want someone to care for my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! 💕 As a college student, I have a flexible schedule and enjoy fitting pet care into my week. -Mondays and Wednesdays: 9am-12pm -Tuesdays And Thursday's : 1:30pm-6pm -Fridays-Sunday: Always available! 😚 Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. Before every visit, I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can care for them in the way they’re most comfortable. I’ll carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions (if needed), and any house rules you provide. Whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing at home, I’ll always make sure your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I also know how reassuring it is to hear how your pet is doing while you’re away. You can expect regular updates and lots of photos so you can relax knowing they’re having a great time. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel loved while giving you complete peace of mind. ❤️

“Aileen was so patient with our timid dog. She followed our instructions perfectly while we were away and checked in on our home. We will be using her again!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and genuinely enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats. Growing up, my family had two dogs that I helped care for throughout my childhood, which taught me the importance of providing pets with love, attention, exercise, and consistent care. More recently, I’ve cared for my boyfriend’s cousin’s cats while house-sitting, including feeding them, keeping them company, and making sure they were comfortable while their owner was away. I’ve also stayed overnight to watch my neighbors’ dogs, giving them attention, playtime, and companionship in their own home. In my current role as a caregiver for a young girl with autism, I also help care for the family’s home, including cleaning the cat’s litter box each week. My caregiving experience has strengthened my patience, responsibility, and attention to detail—qualities that are just as important when caring for pets. While I may not have formal professional pet care experience yet, I take every responsibility seriously and understand how important it is to earn your trust. I will treat your pets with the same kindness, patience, and care that I would give my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone dependable to keep them company, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently have a flexible summer schedule with weekday mornings, evenings, and Sunday mornings available. Pet care is a priority for me, and I’ll always keep my Rover calendar updated as my graduate school schedule changes. As a caregiver, I understand the importance of individualized care. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, respect their home, communicate openly, ask questions when needed, and always prioritize every pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being.

About: I have my own medium sized senior dog that I have taken care of for 8 years. I have been a volunteer dog walker for Priceless Pets Rescue for 2 years and am used to adjusting walks depending on the specific dog(s) needs. I am currently available all day, every day, except on Mondays and Wednesdays, when I am unavailable. Don't hesitate to reach out, as I am able and willing to fit almost anything into my schedule at the moment. I am willing and able to adhere to any requests necessary for the best care for your pet. I can and will do anything needed to ensure your pet is safe and happy in my care. I have a medium-sized front and back yard to play in, as well as a dog of my own to keep your dog company.

About: I have helped my neighbors with their dogs since I was a child , I have always loved animals. I have had stray cats walk up to me meowing hungry and I always try to go out of my way to feed them and to give them some love . I truly believe every animal needs to be loved and it is our job as humans to do this. I am a dog and a cat person I have one of each at home which I love so much. I know how important my animals are to me and I will love your pet as my own whether I am walking them or just dropping in to check on them I am currently a full time student, however I want a job that makes me happy and animals make me happy. I have a wide availability. I talk to my pets just as I would talk to your pet with a gentle kind voice . I am also very cautious when walking dogs as sometimes they can be very eager to get out and walk .

“We have a chow chow and have an hard time finding someone that our dog likes. She typically is not trusting of other humans and it takes a lot for her to trust people she doesn’t know, but with Daylin something was different she felt super comfortable around her and definitely saw some trust there. I was really shocked because as soon as we gave Daylin the leash she right away went with her and Daylin told us she did great and had a nice time, we were definitely happy and so was our pup. Aside from that Daylin is super nice and provided photos of our pup, a progress report and overall she was just really great. I am definitely happy we got Daylin. She’s awesome and our pup chica gives her two paws up!”

About: I’ve owned a variety of pets all throughout my life and have loved every single one. I’ve taken care of all my pets since they were young up until their senior years and made sure they were all taken care of! I’m currently a college student so weekends work perfectly. As of now, a few days out of the week work but this may be subject to change depending on my classes. I have a fenced backyard with a good sized grass area for any pets needing to go outside and play. The inside is also available for any pets just looking to relax and just be chill.

“Bradley and Greta LOVE Jared. We hired him to give them a mid-day break/walk while we were unavailable and he gave them so much more than we were hoping for! He not only took them on a 30+ walk around Green Lake, but he also took them to the dog park to ensure our pups were nice and tired before returning them home. Even though it was only a walk, he gave updates about his arrival/departure times, what they were doing, and how the dogs were. Our dogs were super happy and exhausted when we returned, so we know they're looking forward to seeing Jared again. We plan to use Jared for both our dog walking and house sitting needs in the future. He's our favorite sitter so far!”

Im currently a certified VA/ACS vet assistant & animal care specialist with over a year experience working on a ranch with all kinds of incredible animals.

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently have a Doberman-Husky mix, so I’m very familiar with caring for a high-energy, intelligent breed that needs regular exercise, structure, and plenty of attention. I also have experience raising and caring for a Husky from puppyhood through their first year. In addition, I’ve cared for a senior dog, so I understand the importance of patience, gentle handling, and following a consistent routine. I’m comfortable administering oral medications to both dogs and cats according to the owner’s or veterinarian’s instructions and always prioritize each pet’s comfort and well-being. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to following each owner’s care instructions. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or a slower pace, I’ll tailor each visit to their individual needs. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and plenty of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I care for my own Doberman-Husky mix every day, including walks, exercise, feeding, and playtime. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so I have flexibility throughout the week to provide walks, drop-in visits, and quality care. I make it a priority to be dependable, arrive on time, and follow each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I make sure they have fresh water, plenty of exercise or playtime, affection based on their personality, and a clean space. I also pay close attention to their behavior and well-being and will keep you updated with photos and messages after each visit. My priority is to provide safe, dependable, and loving care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 10, looking after my own pets and neighbor's dog when they're out of town. I understand the importance of companionship and make it my mission to ensure your furry friends feel loved and never alone. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Whether it be my own or a neighbor's, l've always gone above and beyond to ensure that the animal is well taken care of. I will make sure your dog gets the specific attention and care that they need, and they have an enjoyable experience. This work goes far beyond simply watching dogs, it’s about providing consistent, attentive, and trustworthy care to dogs who are an important part of your family. I take pride in being reliable, patient, and detail oriented, making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I put into every visit. I treat every dog as if they were my own, pay close attention to their individual needs, and maintain clear, consistent communication with owners for peace of mind. Sparky is the reason behind it all. He showed me a love I can’t even fully put into words, loyal, pure, and unconditional. He wasn’t just my dog, he was my comfort, my routine, and a piece of my heart. Losing him was one of the hardest things I’ve ever gone through, and there are still moments I feel that emptiness so deeply. But at the same time, he gave my life so much meaning and showed me exactly the kind of care and love every dog deserves. Because of Sparky, I’m more patient, more understanding, and more intentional with every dog I care for. I know how much they mean to you, because I know what it feels like to love a dog with your whole heart. A part of him lives on in everything I do, in every walk, every cuddle, and every moment I spend making sure your babies feel safe and loved. I am a dedicated dog sitter with a flexible schedule and reliable transportation, allowing me to offer drop in appointments on any day that works best for you. This work goes far beyond simply watching dogs, it’s about providing consistent, attentive, and trustworthy care to dogs who are an important part of your family. I take pride in being reliable, patient, and detail oriented, making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I put into every visit. I treat every dog as if they were my own, pay close attention to their individual needs, and maintain clear, consistent communication with owners for peace of mind. I will also send you lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay or towards the end of the visit(s) For safety, I also ask that you provide emergency contact details and your preferred veterinarian's information.

About: I have cared for an adult in the sunset of his life, a turtle, two dogs beyond 15 years, and currently a four year old maltipoo. The most loyal member of your family can expect my full attention. My goal is to improve their quality of life. This is full time for me. I am saving up for pilot school so I take it seriously. At the same time pets make the best cuddle buddies so expect all the playful attention needed. I earn trust by meeting pets where they are at. If it takes more than one visit to work up to wonderful walks and calm cuddles so be it. Sometimes just being there is enough. Not every pet needs or wants the same thing, but every pet will get my undivided attention.

About: I work throughout the week as a security professional so I'm not available all the time but when I am I'll be glad to look after your loved one's. Anything you need for your security such as i.d. or where I work I will provide so that you know your pet is safe with me. I'm doing this as a side job because I know I will enjoy doing this and my parents would tell me do something you love and get paid to do it so here I am. I look forward to watching your little kids I mean that's basically what they are and if you need to contact me feel free to do so. You can contact me anytime for any reason. I look forward to looking after your little ones. Currently work security since last year of February but I always make time to walk my dog or take him to the park. He does have lots of energy so we tend to play around a lot. I treat them just like my baby show them lots of love and play I’m very attentive to my dogs needs. I’m practically with my dog all day.

“Alyssa did such a great job with my pup merp! She took a last minute booking and gave me so much peace of mind that merp was in safe caring hands! I got so many pictures of merp! Highly recommend Alyssa!”
