Dog Walkers in Winterville, GA

“Damica is always fast to respond and sends the best pictures of my dog Leilah 😁”

About: My services include the basic outside time and feeding times, but leave room for walks, baths, and lots of playtime at the pet owner's discretion. I've worked with animals for over 15 years, have learned basic training techniques, been a pet sitter for several families, and have dealt with a variety of breeds (and sizes). Currently, I am living in the greater Athens, GA area with my Catahoula mix, Schatzie. I graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in Animal Science and have decided that I want to devote my life to working with animals. I would love to get to know you and your four-legged friend(s)! Why do I love dog 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 along-side a vet tech, and have become comfortable administering a variety of medications and treatments.

“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!”

“Mary is always prompt, communicates often and our fur babies love her.”

“Christina is super friendly and got along well with my pup! She sent pictures and kept me updated throughout their walk. Appreciate the time to ensure my dog is taken care of!”

“Alicia was phenomenal! Prompt, personal, and very loving of my sweet dog. Very highly recommend and hope to leverage her dog walking services again!”

“Emma is awesome! You can tell she genuinely cares for the animals she’s taking care of. My cats took quite a liking to her in such a short period of time it was really remarkable. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Kathryn has taken care of my pets for me many times. She loves animals and is very responsible. My dogs love her and are always happy to see her. She takes care of other people's pets like her own. The only challenge is that she struggles with stronger dogs who pull on leashes.”

“Raegan has been a caregiver and animal lover her entire life. During her lifetime, we have had a zoo at our home from all the pets she has lovingly taken in. She prays for a dog and one shows up the next day. She dreams of a cat and, guess what, one shows up a few days later out of nowhere. She loves animals and they love her. She is a pre-vet student and is very responsible and reliable. I would trust her to care for my pets over anyone else I know.”

“Claire is engaging, responsible, and easy to work with. She clearly loves dogs, and they love her in return. She is conscientious, making sure that she understands what's expected and needed (including for my senior dog with multiple health issues & meds) and doing a good job of keeping me updated. I'll be hiring her again - and my pup will be excited to see her.”

“Grace will do an awesome job of taking care of your fur babies! She always does a great job when she house and pet sits our two large dogs. I trust her exclusively with my babies.”

About: I've had dogs and cats (and countless other pets) my whole life. I've been dog sitting for neighbors and friends since I was 10, and taking care of my own pets since I was 5. I worked for a PetSmart pet hotel running doggy day camp everyday, and caring for all of the many cats and dogs boarding. It was a great experience and I learned a lot about safety and first aid when it comes to pets. I've also volunteered at several animal shelters, caring for the animals, but also making sure they get some love. I'm comfortable around all different breeds and sizes of dogs. I am also comfortable with administering medications and caring for senior pets and puppies/kittens. If you are interested in boarding with me: Your dog cannot be dog aggressive. My dog Oscar is a registered therapy dog. He is excellent with all kinds of dogs of all sizes and energy levels. If your dog isn’t a huge fan of new friends that’s fine, he’ll get the hint and let them be. As long as they aren’t aggressive that’s no problem. He’s playful at times, but also a big fan of napping all day if that’s more what your dog has in mind. I have a fenced in yard. There are also no stairs needed to access the yard, which is great for older dogs or those that just aren’t a fan of stairs. I am both a PhD student and a homebody, so most days I’m home working on papers, grading, all that fun stuff. I love the study breaks I get from letting my dog out and spending some play time with him, and love any excuse to get out and walk or love on a dog! My home has a fenced in yard and my friendly dog Oscar who is great with new dogs. He is especially patient with puppies and older dogs. On walks elsewhere I carry a safety kit with items to safely break up dog fights. I’ve never had to use it thankfully! But working in a doggy day camp and receiving training in handling fights, I learned you can never be too careful. I make every effort to avoid any unleashed dogs on walks, but still like to be prepared for anything.

“Shelby is a delight! She is very hard working, responsible, and punctual. She has a lot of experience with dogs, and you can tell she genuinely enjoys working with them. Anyone would be fortunate to have Shelby as their pet sitter or dog walker.”

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life since I was a baby, I currently have two dogs of my own at my house. I currently work full time Monday through Friday 6:30am to 3:30/4PM I am available anytime on Saturday and Sunday as well. I am also pretty flexible. Diesel is extremely friendly and gets along well with others and he will be a good dog to keep yours company! I have a 50ft Lead for the dog to roam the back yard.

“Our animals love Chrissy! They get so excited when they see her or even just hear her voice. She is dependable, kind and gives our pets such warm, loving attention. Very grateful for her.”

About: My experience with dogs began at birth with pets I called my brothers. Now, I am raising my own German Shepard/Lab mix whom I have had since he was 6 months old. I am a graduate student with pretty full days but mornings and evenings are perfect times for me to look after pups. I have a pretty set schedule that allows for me to know exactly when I am available, just ask and we can arrange something. I am a stickler for a schedule because it makes all the different in raising a dog. I make sure my pupper gets fed and goes out around the same time everyday.

“Wonderful Experience. Annie kept everything very professional, and she was an extremely dependable pet sitter. I had to fly out of state for work, and I needed someone take care my cat, Ari, for the week. She stopped by everyday to clean the litter box, and she made sure Ari was well fed and entertained. Upon my request, she checked in with me and sent photos everyday to update me on Ari’s well-being. Overall I had an amazing experience, and this service gave me the peace of mind I needed. 100% would highly recommend this service to anyone nervous about leaving their pet at home for an extended period of time.”

“Sam is AMAZING. I recently moved my Golden Retriever from Florida to Athens and I was worried about him being home alone all day while I was at work. He can be a bit shy but he took to Sam straight away. Sam is responsible, communicative, and caring. It gives me so much comfort knowing she will be there to walk, feed, and give him love. Do not hesitate to book her!”

About: Hi all! I have experience with high energy animals as I have grown up with Australian cattle dogs (red healers), and cats. I enjoy getting to know animals, taking them on walks, or just hanging out with them! I’d be happy to take your dog to the dog park as well. I am working part time as an Archival assistant internship for a museum this summer, so I have plenty of free time to care for your animals. I am looking to create trust between your pet and I, and if I become your regular sitter this will become easier! I am experienced with large and small animals (including exotics).

“Thanks Cody! You did a great job!! Mercy had fun.”
