Dog Walking West Athens

About: Animal lover! I’ve taken care of many different type of pets- big, small, young, and old. I have extra love and patience for seniors pets <3 I’m currently working part time with a somewhat flexible schedule. I’m available all day on the weekends but only available all day on some weekdays. I’ll make sure all food/bathroom areas are clean and home is secured before leaving. I can follow instructions, no matter how specific or silly they can be.

“We are so fortunate to have found Aileen. Our dog took an immediate liking to her. She was patient in getting to know our dog, and responsive in our communication with her.”

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, until August 17th. I can fit anything into my schedule at the moment. [Prone to updates as I am in college!] 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.

“We've booked Daylin multiple times to walk and take care of our dog Boba, and she always does a phenomenal job!”

About: I've been caring for my dogs since I was just a child and have always felt a deep connection to animals. I used to do dog walking for some time and have volunteered in a grooming location as well. You can be certain your furry friend will receive the best care with me! I currently stay at home with my son so I have a pretty open schedule. In the afternoon we go for walks in our neighborhood so we'd love to bring your pup along on a walk with us! We have a front and backyard which are both enclosed with a gate. It's pretty spacious so we'd definitely have a good time. At the moment I don't have a pet of my own- we recently lost our girl due to age at 15 years old. She was such a sweet girl and we loved her dearly. We hope to adopt another one in the near future, but for now I'd like to take care of other babies. You can be confident that your dog will be provided with my best attention. Maintaining his or her routine, such as feeding schedules, will also be my top priority.

“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!”

“Booked Gabrielle last min and she was quick and responsive! She was very sweet, took two (big dogs) on a solid walk and sent pics. She was easy to work with and communicated/replied quick! Will definitely book again!”

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 for over 6 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities.

Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or giving medications if needed, I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own. I’m currently available with a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening walks depending on your needs. I’m reliable, punctual, and committed to providing your pet with consistent care and plenty of exercise and attention. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority.

“Thank you so much Ms. Patty! Bandy looks great when we’re home. We booked the dog walking pretty last minute and thank you for your accommodation!”

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 truly love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I take time to understand their personality and routine so they always feel safe and happy. I have experience with both playful puppies and gentle senior dogs who need extra care. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or meds, I make sure they get the love and attention they deserve — and I always keep you updated with photos and messages! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine — I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals every day. I plan my schedule around walks, playtime, and check-ins so each pet gets my full attention. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, afternoon walks, or evening cuddles, I make sure their needs always come first. Caring for pets isn’t just a job for me — it’s something I look forward to every single day. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to keep their routine consistent so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions closely. I give them plenty of love, playtime, and attention while respecting your home and privacy. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a clean, safe, and cozy space where they can relax and feel at ease. I make sure they get daily exercise, cuddles, and lots of affection — just like they would with you. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, safe, and stress-free no matter where they are.

About: I’ve had pets all my life, animals are my passion. 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. I’m ready for anything that comes my way. :) I am currently available any time and any day. So pet sitting fits into my routine perfectly, this is what I was meant to do. I have brick wall fencing and plenty of backyard space, any pet in my care will be allowed both in and outdoors. I also have toys to keep both Dogs and Cats happy. :)

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 have taken care of dogs my whole life, including my own and others! I currently have no pets, so I have the time and space to care for yours :) I mostly have experience with dogs, young/old/big/small, but I am open to sitting for other pets as well. Although I don’t have formal training experience, I do enjoy taking time to teach dogs tricks/commands you maybe working on. Majority of my camera roll is my family dog and dogs I see out and about, so you will receive plenty of pics of your happy pet :) I work 3 days a week, so I plan on doing this on my days off when I have the whole day available for your pet! I do not have a set schedule, but I will be sure to update ASAP. I do live in an apartment complex that includes an outdoor dog area that is available for playtime or potty breaks. I also love taking dogs for walks at the beach, parks, or trails!

“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!”
