Dog Walking Whelchel

About: Animals have been a big part of my life for many years. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, as well as cats, horses, birds, reptiles, and other farm animals. Having owned dogs ranging from 4 to 125 pounds, I’m comfortable with a wide variety of breeds, temperaments, and care needs. I can administer medications to most dogs and am happy to follow detailed instructions for feeding, exercise, and daily routines. I know how important consistency is for pets, and I work hard to care for them exactly as you would. I love taking photos and sending regular updates, so you’ll know your pet is happy, safe, and receiving plenty of attention while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind. I have recently retired from full-time employment as a teacher. I spend my free time with the animals on my small personal farm and volunteering with Save the Horses Rescue. I prefer to care for pets in their own environments, adhering closely to their regular routines and feeding. Keeping schedules structured minimizes stress for most animals. I understand the importance of a consistent diet, especially when owners are away.

About: I have taken care of many dogs/cats. My family and I love all animals and are excited to have furry visitors to love on. I work three days out of the week night shift! I have plenty of time to love on fur babies and meet their needs! Im always up early and ready to start the day! We have an open space home and an open space yard away from the road. Plenty of space to run around or walk around leashed or unleashed. We do not have any other animals in our home besides our two toddlers who are boys who love any animal.

About: I have had animals in my family since I was barely walking. I currently have two dogs and two cats. I took care of my neighborhood feral and stray cats for years and have fostered dogs. I am self employed and work from home and my afternoons and weekends have had some free time. I love meeting new pets and helping people while they’re away I am not typically tied to a time constraint and am able to spend the time necessary to ensure the clients pets are taken care of to the level that I would want my pets taken care of

“Bailey is awesome! Just what I needed as I’m going through chemo and needed my pup to get some exercise. She loves River and River loves her! You can tell because River is waiting but the door for her on the days she walks her! Bailey is dependable, mature and obviously loves dogs. She’s updates the app so that I know of any changes or additions (she has permission to keep walking River is she’s still wanting to walk and Bailey has the time!!). Payment is easy and if walked extra it can be automatically added! I’m so glad a friend referred ROVER to me!! I would have never found Bailey -someone we desperately needed right now to keel our pup happy, healthy & tired!”

About: I've lived with and cared for animals ever since I was old enough to walk and talk, mostly dogs. In recent years I've gained some training experience from having trained my own three dogs, one of which I had for over 18 years. As of now, I am working to fill out my schedule for house visits, walking, potty breaks, and anything you might need for your angels ❤️. Unfortunately, I cannot house any other animal in my home due to space and the pets I already have, but I am more than happy to stay over with your pet! I bring my own suitcase of food and supplies usually follow a feeding/walking schedule set by you, the client. Any additional rules and or stipulations I will be sure to follow with upmost respect!

About: I’ve had all pets from, kittens, puppies, geckos, chameleons, fish, and birds! I love spending time with animals and Id love to spend time with/ take care of yours! 🤍 I have full time availability as a SAHM and would like to devote my time to helping pet owners in the Gainesville and the surrounding areas, to give their fur babies the love and attention they deserve while you take care of your priorities! I have grown up around many animals from kittens, to dogs, to even horses and have been taught the proper way to approach and handle dogs who may be shy, or have a temperament towards new people. I am also very cautious with the temps outside when walking dogs to insure their paws are not burned in the or picking up mud with the unpredictable GA weather. Your babies would we treated as one of my own 🫶🏼

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Patricia! She truly went above and beyond while caring for our dogs. When one of our pups got sick, she didn’t just notify us—she actually cooked him rice to help his stomach and even went to her own home to bring back a rug cleaning machine to clean the areas where he had diarrhea. Her kindness and initiative meant the world to us. Her communication was outstanding—we received frequent updates and adorable pictures from all their walks, which really put our hearts at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy our getaway without worry. Patricia is caring, responsible, and treats pets as if they were her own. We would recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely book her again in a heartbeat!”

About: Animal lover by nature, my connection with animals started as early as I can remember. I carry a deep reverence for them, often connecting more easily with animals than humans throughout my life. I’m trained in wildlife rescue and experienced with all types of animals, and I’m also trained in reiki for animals. My own family includes cats, a dog, a frog, a fish, and a snake, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and care needs. I move with calm awareness and responsibility in every situation, and I treat animals like family, your pet is guaranteed to be cared for with true intention, presence, and love. I work from home and create my own schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my routine around their needs, whether that’s playtime, feeding, or quiet companionship. I also have a basement apartment space if a pet needs a calm, separate environment away from other animals. In addition, I have a fenced yard on a 1/4 acre lot located on a dead-end road, which provides a safe and quiet space for walks and outdoor time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to keep the animal comfortable and stress-free. I pay attention to feeding schedules, walking routines, playtime, and any specific instructions provided. I move with calm awareness, making sure the pet feels safe and at ease in their own environment. I also keep the home clean and respect the space fully while I’m there. My goal is to maintain consistency for the pet and give the owner peace of mind knowing their animal is cared for with intention and attention.

About: I have been an animal lover since before I can even remember. I was the kid bringing home every stray (including opossum babies). For the past 20 years, that passion has shaped my life. Beyond volunteering for incredible local organizations like Hall County Animal Services, Furkids, and Gwinnett County Shelter, I spent 6 years volunteering with the Humane Society of Northeast Georgia (HSNEGA) before officially joining their team as a staff member for over a year. Today, my own home is filled with love from my 5 rescue dogs. When I’m not caring for my own pack, I spend 4 hours a day working hands-on with working-line German Shepherds, which has given me deep experience handling strong, high-energy breeds and understanding complex canine behavior. My background also includes working on two farms, so if your home includes chickens, goats, or horses, I can easily manage their daily care, too! Medical & Special Needs Comfort Thanks to my extensive background in shelter operations and animal welfare, I am highly confident and experienced in administering medications. Whether your pet requires oral pills, topical ointments, eye drops, or special dietary tracking, I can safely maintain their medical routines while you are away. I specialize in reliable drop-in visits that keep your pets happy and on their schedule. I am available for: • Early morning check-ins (6:00–6:30 AM) • Mid-day lunch breaks (12:00 PM) • Dinner/late afternoon visits (4:00 PM) • Evening/bedtime visits (8:00 PM) • Weekend and holiday availability I have a long list of local references who trust me implicitly with their animals. I can't wait to meet your furry (or feathered!) family members and give you complete peace of mind while you're away. I am currently taking a break from full time work, so I am available any day of the week. I am home the majority of the day. I am off at 1130am. I have a fenced in yard, and 5 dog friendly pups. I have experience with crating and rotating pups if you would rather keep them separated. I am used to handling multiple dogs.

About: I’m a biggg animal lover, a vegan of 10 years, former animal shelter worker & doggy foster mom🤍 a few years ago, I rescued my dog, Blue. Working with trainers for my own dog has deepened my commitment to positive reinforcement and understanding each dog’s unique needs. I’m a full-time registered nurse, so I’m confident administering medications and managing special care routines. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes—from tiny companions to giant breeds—and I take the time to learn each dog’s quirks, preferences, and sensitivities to make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. I live in an apartment with plenty of outdoor time, including long walks and play sessions, and I’m happy to help with feeding, training, and care. I currently only work 3 days a week, so I’m usually free the rest of my days off. I’m pretty flexible on scheduling things if you have any last minute needs. I work night shift, so if your dog is fine being left alone overnight let me know and I can board longer than my listed days! I have a pet cam to keep an eye on them overnight. Dog walking/drop-ins: I can come to your home, feed your pup breakfast/dinner, take them out for a quick potty break, play time, or go on a super long walk to tire them out! I’d love to know your dog’s routine, likes/dislikes, an level of energy! Doggy day care: Your dog can hang with me & mine for the day! Guaranteed fun times, cuddles, walks! I love making my space a welcoming & calm environment. I consider myself active, so if your dog is up for adventures/hikes, let me know! Your dog must be house trained & friendly with other dogs. Boarding: If your dog is being boarded with me, they’ll need to be friendly with other dogs, including my playful pup and occasionally my roommate’s small Shih Tzu-Yorkie mix. They also must be dropped off with a crate. I want to make sure they are safe & happy!

“Amy took great care of my dog Duke! Will definitely use her services again!”
