### Put the care of our dogs first!

“We have used the team at Buckhead Paws exclusively for our pet-sitting needs for our Border Collies since at least 2011. They always put the care of our dogs first, and routinely exceed our expectations by going a step beyond. We always know exactly how things are going with our pups when we’re away. We can’t recommend Buckhead Paws enough and are positive they will provide first-rate pet sitting and related services for your pup.”

### Completely Happy and Secure

“This was my first time using a service for pet sitting and I was completely happy and comfortable using Buckhead Paws. My sitter sent me photos and journals everyday on the company’s app and emailed me directly when she had questions. My dogs and I enjoyed the experience, and we will definitely use them again!”

### Great dog walking service

“Great dog walking service with professional dog walkers and owner! Dog walker Savannah has given our puppy a refresher course on obedience training during their daily walks – this is an unexpected bonus!”

### We’re happy we found Buckhead Paws!

“Mark and Robin at Buckhead Paws are very professional, caring, and run a great business. They set us up with Brian, our dog sitter, and now we feel so much better about going out of town. He visits our pups to feed and let them out, and always texts with info on how they’re doing as well as sends pictures. Buckhead Paws has online scheduling so requesting appointments is super easy. Mark even helped us secure some last-minute visits for our dogs when our holiday plans changed suddenly. We’re happy we found Buckhead Paws!”

## We’re happy we found Buckhead Paws!

“Mark and Robin at Buckhead Paws are very professional, caring, and run a great business. They set us up with Brian, our dog sitter, and now we feel so much better about going out of town. He visits our pups to feed and let them out, and always texts with info on how they’re doing as well as sends pictures. Buckhead Paws has online scheduling so requesting appointments is super easy. Mark even helped us secure some last-minute visits for our dogs when our holiday plans changed suddenly. We’re happy we found Buckhead Paws!”

## Look no further

“Look no further: Picky talking, and Picky is pleased. Mark the owner is both comforting and extremely responsive. After speaking with Mark, I immediately felt assured that I had found the right group to place my trust in. Barbara, my assigned pet sitter, was kind, patient, professional, and went above and beyond to care for my kitties.

This is a group that I would recommend to fellow hard-to-please pet owners. They are top notch, and now have a lifelong customer in me.

Charlie, Kobe, and I thank Buckhead Paws for exceeding our every expectation :)”

## Can’t recommend them highly enough!

“A few years ago, our cat sitter had to cancel the week of the Thanksgiving holiday. Most people were booked, and I was frantic. Mark at Buckhead Paws was WONDERFUL! Though the schedule was full, he fit us in, arranged everything and our cats were cared for and happy and content when we got back a week later. We use them often and can’t recommend them highly enough! I rest easy knowing my pets are in good hands when we’re away.”

## I highly recommend them!

“I’ve been using Buckhead Paws off and on for almost 4 years now and I highly recommend them! As always, their walker, Eileen, took great care of the dogs, was super communicative and sent lots of pictures, and went above and beyond to make sure the dogs were comfortable while I was away. It looked like the dogs enjoyed their staycation and I was glad to know they were in good hands!”

## Put the care of our dogs first!

“We have used the team at Buckhead Paws exclusively for our pet-sitting needs for our Border Collies since at least 2011. They always put the care of our dogs first, and routinely exceed our expectations by going a step beyond. We always know exactly how things are going with our pups when we’re away. We can’t recommend Buckhead Paws enough and are positive they will provide first-rate pet sitting and related services for your pup.”

## Completely Happy and Secure

“This was my first time using a service for pet sitting and I was completely happy and comfortable using Buckhead Paws. My sitter sent me photos and journals everyday on the company’s app and emailed me directly when she had questions. My dogs and I enjoyed the experience, and we will definitely use them again!”

## They genuinely care for my dog…

“I have been using Buckhead Paws for years. I love everything about the service Mark and his team provide. I rely on them for daily walks while I’m working as well as pet sitting while I travel. Because he has a team, there is never a question that they can scale up to fill my needs. Most importantly, they genuinely care for my dog — and focus on making sure he is treated well. I can’t recommend them highly enough!”

## They truly are the best!

“We trust Mark, Eileen and the entire team at Buckhead Paws for our daily dog walks! Seeing the big fluff light up every time he sees Eileen makes my day and makes me feel a little less guilty for being in back-to-back zoom meetings. They truly are the best!”

“I’ve used Buckhead Paws for my past two trips, and I’ve been so happy with their incredible service, their thoroughness, and truly putting me at ease when I’m away.

## Charles, General Manager

Curious, Clever, Enthusiastic,  Energetic

A native of Augusta, GA, Charles came to Atlanta in 2003 to accept a promotion with Restoration Hardware. As District Manager, he oversaw their business in five states, managing nearly 200 people. He also has leadership experience with other luxury and home furnishings retailers.

Pets have always been a part of his life. Most recently, his heart was stolen by a rescue beagle/pug mix named CJ (think the Press Secretary on The West Wing!).

Charles regularly visits his 89-year-old parents in Augusta. (They’ve been married 67 years!) He also loves movies, books, travel, interior design, photography/art – and his many friends!

## Daniel

Funny, Adaptive, Observant

Born in Colombia (the country, not SC!), Daniel’s family moved to South Florida as a child; work and school then brought him to Atlanta. He has worked in retail and medical care and has now settled into a calling in radiology.

Daniel grew up with dogs and cats and loves them both because they’re so different. Throughout his work career, he’s always done a bit of pet sitting, so he brought a wealth of experience with him to Buckhead Paws in 2022. For him, the most rewarding part of pet sitting is earning the trust of his 4-legged clients.

Daniel and his family are particularly close, so when he’s not studying or pet sitting, he spends time with them – he especially admires his sister as a person and mother. He also volunteers at his church preparing meals for those in need.

- Experienced with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments
- Administers meds, including sub-q fluids
- Particularly experienced with elderly pets
- Studying radiology, at Georgia State University

## Andrew

Adventurous, Considerate, Curious, Trustworthy

Andrew was born in the great state of Ohio – Cincinnati, specifically. Like all our folks, Andrew grew up in a home full of pets: dogs, hamsters, and guinea pigs. He moved to the ATL in 2015.

Most of Andrew’s professional career has been spent in corporate relocation, assisting corporate families with their moves when their companies transfer them. He joined our team in 2023, wanting something more relaxing and more interactive with warm-fuzzy creatures.

When not with our clients’ pets, Andrew loves playing with his own two Labradoodles, Ripley and Ollie. He also volunteers at the food bank and at a reading program for kids.

## Melissa

Kind, Hard-working, Supportive

Meet Melissa, one of our “full-time, part-time” team members. That is, she has a full-time position as Worker’s Compensation claims adjustor for a large organization – but she also has several ongoing Buckhead Paws clients. And she’s been balancing these roles since joining us in 2022.

Melissa is a go-getter: As if her other work isn’t enough, she also manages a non-profit she started in 2010, Generacion Latina, an organization that empowers and educates Latinx & minority youth for success in life after high school. And Melissa loves international travel, working out, and chatting over dinner with friends until closing time. She grew up in Stockbridge under the loving care of her mother and grandmother – and Melissa gives them full credit for molding her into the woman she is today. Growing up, she had a variety of pets, mainly miniature schnauzers, plus a few rescue dogs and kitties. And that’s where she learned small dogs have big attitudes!

## Lauren M.

Outspoken, Kind, Empathetic, Funny, Charismatic

It is no understatement to say that animals are Lauren’s life. She grew up with them in Alpharetta, has raised them, nurtured them, groomed them, healed them, and loved them since she was young. When Lauren isn’t taking care of Buckhead Paws’ clients,

you’ll find her taking care of her sweet pit, Mama (Meet Mama in Lauren’s video!)

When her beloved childhood Puggle passed away, Lauren started fostering pups, including Mama. She began volunteering at an animal hospital when she was 12, then moved to a rescue shelter where there was much more need. Her most rewarding work was in the Canine Cellmates program helping reformed prisoners train rescue dogs.

Through it all, her dad has been her biggest supporter and advocate; he’s helped her through many a challenge to be who she is today.

- Administers meds
- Daily Dog Walks, Vacation Pet Sitting, Overnight Pet Sitting, Pet Taxi
- Especially experienced with large dogs and anxious dogs
- Attended Middle Georgia State University

## Lindsay

Cheerful, Authentic, Adaptable, Adventurous

Lindsay grew up running in his hometown of Capetown, South Africa: He ran before school, after school, weekends, evenings, and any other time he could. All that running led to the incredible experience of running 400-meter hurdles for the South African Olympic team in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Today, running continues to be important to Lindsay, as well as traveling, seeing new places, experiencing new cultures, and just being outdoors. He also does volunteer work for a non-profit organization coaching young athletes.

He has years of pet sitting experience, going as far back as the Mastiffs and German Shepherds that were part of his family when he was growing up. Interestingly, he has also taken care of a parrot, as well as a pair of budgie birds!

- Provides full range of services: Daily
- Dog Walks, Vacation Pet Sits, Overnights
- Offers unique service: Run with an Olympian!
- Very experienced with all sizes, especially large dogs

## Ines

Funny, Patient, Lively, Personable

Born in Guatemala, Ines grew up on a coffee plantation in a multi-cultural household, where Spanish, English, French, and Lebanese traditions were all intermingled. Just like living on a farm, she was surrounded by animals, small and large, including a variety of pups, ranging from mutts to labs to Shepherds.

After finishing college, Ines came to Atlanta in 2021 to seek her fortune as an actress. She was fortunate to have two cousins here who kindly allowed her to couch surf until she could get on her feet. Today, she still lives with the cousins – except now she’s paying rent!

When she’s not taking care of clients’ pets, Ines stays busy with various acting gigs and doing voice over. She and her boyfriend also volunteer at the food bank and enjoy going to parks to pick up cans and recyclables.

## Danielle

Empathetic, Hardworking, Funny, Grounded

Although she was born in Rhode Island, Danielle spent her Middle and High School years in DelRay Beach, FL. Life brought her here to the ATL in 2023, when she decided it was time for a change – she wanted to experience the Big City.

Pet care comes naturally to Danielle, as she grew up with a virtual menagerie in her home. Pets of the past include cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies and turtles! She also took care of neighbors’ and friends’ pets: Two of her best buds were Pit Bulls belonging to her neighbor; Danielle was their go-to pet sitter whenever the neighbors traveled.

The current pet of her life is Mocha, her 14-year-old kitty; they’ve literally grown up together. And together they enjoy listening to music, including Danielle’s CD collection and her growing vinyl collection. Danielle is also a painter and reads and collects manga.

## Dave

Funny, Kind, Smart

Born in Charleston, SC, Dave is a true son of the South. He originally came to Atlanta after college – but has left and returned here three different times! He has a strong corporate background: At one time he managed the advertising for all wireless products carried by AT&T.

Dogs have always been part of Dave’s life; he has a particular fondness for pointers and spaniels. He says that his first dog as an adult was a Brittany Spaniel that spoiled him, because he was so smart and obedient.

On his off hours, Dave loves scuba diving and playing soccer on his over-40 team; the team name is, Injury Prone – and it fits! He also volunteers occasionally at a local food pantry.

Dave joined Buckhead Paws in the Summer of 2025.

## Robin, Office Assistant

Loyal, Dedicated, Funny

Living in Roswell, Robin wouldn’t seem to be a likely candidate for Buckhead Paws: However, she commutes into town every day for her full-time position as Office Manager for a private pre-school program. In addition, she volunteers at a local animal rescue, goes to yoga and meditation classes, loves movies, reading, cooking, and dining out with friends. On top of all this, she has just published a children’s book, “Sheldon’s Hurrication” (available at Barnes & Noble).

Pets have been a part of Robin’s life, and she’ll always make time for them. Growing up in Miami, she had a variety of wonderful dogs, and when raising her two daughters, they always had a menagerie that included dogs, cats, parakeets, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, and fish!

With Buckhead Paws since 2023, she has gathered a group of clients she visits early mornings on her way to work, and occasionally evenings or on weekends.

## Barbara

Dedicated, Determined, Generous (and in her words, just a little nuts)

Although born in Rhode Island, Barbara has been here long enough to be considered a native. She spent many years managing a large multi-family real estate firm, and once commented that that career prepared her to be a professional pet sitter, because handling that office was like herding cats!

When not caring for clients’ pets, Barbara has a full social life: dining out, movies, traveling and reading. She’s also very active at her church, and some years ago helped found a residential drug-rehabilitation community.

Barbara has been with us since 2017, and clients appreciate her calm, capable, detail-oriented manner.

## Charlotte

Dependable, Compassionate, Attentive, Fun

Growing up in Asheville, NC, Charlotte was surrounded by mountains, natural beauty, and pets! Not surprisingly, hiking is one of her favorite things to do – as well as dancing, playing video games, and, most recently, roller skating! She also volunteers with Furkids, helping animals to be adopted. Last year she became a first-time auntie, and loves spoiling her new niece.

While growing up, Charlotte worked the usual retail jobs, then after college experienced corporate life for about ten years. That was when she realized that taking care of pets was so much more rewarding for her.

Charlotte has cared for all types of pets, but one of her favorites was Avocado, a bearded dragon. Avocado was fun because she actually enjoyed being petted!

## Sarah Ann

Funny, Real, Passionate, and Smart

There was never a time when Sarah Ann wasn’t surrounded by pets. Her family’s home in Charlotte, NC, always had some kind of 4-legged friend; their Golden Retriever Wrigley was her favorite.

It’s easy to see that Sarah Ann has a caring heart when you consider that previous jobs include assistant in a nursing home, camp counselor, and babysitter. She’s also volunteered at camps, at the Special Olympics, and on missionary trips.

Sarah Ann came to Atlanta in October, 2023, shortly after college, to join a theatre company as an apprentice; that’s also when she joined Buckhead Paws. Acting and singing are her first loves, but she also loves reading, walking, and hanging out with her friends.

## Janna

Fun, Outgoing, Talkative, and Loving

Talk about a “Jacqueline of all trades” – that’s Janna! She’s done so much and has so many interests! She plays in a band but also goes to lots of live music events. She’s worked in the hospitality industry since she was 18, serving, hosting, bartending – she’s done it all. She’s also an actress, working in film, television, and commercials. And, she’s an artist – if you’re interested, she also does pet portraits!

In the midst of all that, she’s been pet sitting since she was in high school, caring for all shapes and sorts of pets. Her most unusual pet sitting experience was last summer, when she took care of a turtle who loved having someone sing for him. So she sang!

Janna was born and grew up in Tucker, and is really close to her family. They always had pets, but she must admit her favorite is Charlie, a kitty she’s had since he was a kitten of eight weeks.

## Steven

Funny, energetic, focused, compassionate

Steven broke in his first pair of dog walking shoes when he was living in New York City some ten years ago. As a hard-working actor, he would go to auditions, then walk outside and pick up 4, 5, or even 8 dogs to take on a “pack walk”. When COVID struck, theatre (and everything else) in NYC came to a halt. A year later, as things were opening up here, Steven came to Atlanta for the suburban / city combo feel, as well as the thriving film and TV scene.

Today, Steven is busy teaching dance, doing voiceover, or performing on stage in the Metro area. His newest passion is creating custom clothing doing alterations.

## Daily Dog Walks

To give your pups all the love and companionship they need, our visits are 20-30 minutes. We don’t set a timer. Whether your dog needs a play break or a potty break, we come when you’re not able to. We do a leashed walk, cuddle and play time, feeding upon request, and we always freshen the water.

Standard daily dog walks are Monday-Friday, 9-5.  Ask us about extended dog walks up to 60 minutes. (For other times, see Vacation Pet Sitting)

## Vacation Pet Sitting

Give your dog a staycation in their familiar surroundings with Vacation Pet Sitting. We visit as many times a day as you’d like. Each visit includes a leashed dog walk, feeding, fresh water, litter cleaning for cats, and tons of love, affection, and human interaction. We maintain your routines and send daily updates to make your time away carefree. We can also bring in mail, take out the trash, water plants, and whatever else you need while you’re away.

One price, full service: Weeknights, weekends, and vacation needs. Now that’s quality pet sitting!

## Overnight Pet Sitting

Some pets just sleep better when they have a human to snuggle up with, and we’d love to be their cuddle buddy. Your pet sitter will arrive at 8:00 pm and stay until 7:00 am. We’ll take care of your pets’ evening and morning routines – dog walks, feeding, medicine, and, of course, tons of TLC. Pair this service with a daily dog walk or vacation pet sitting to give your pet all the love they desire.

## Cat Sitting

Social or shy, friendly or not, cats have their own personalities. Whatever your kitty’s preferences, we’ll adapt to them: rubbing under the chin, batting a feather, chasing a ball of paper, drinking from the faucet . . .

We’ll clean their litter, check on them in their hiding spots (including under the bed), refill their water and food, and give quality playtime. Cat sitting is available in Atlanta, Brookhaven, Buckhead, Decatur, Dunwoody, Intown, Midtown, Sandy Springs and Smyna.

## Pet Sitting by the Hour

Have a senior dog or a young puppy that needs company for a few hours? Does your sweet rescue have separation anxiety? Are you visiting Atlanta and don’t want to leave your pup alone in the hotel?

Just like you might call a babysitter, have us come sit with your fur baby. Who said our pets aren’t our kids? Two-hour minimum.

A ferret, a parrot,

“This was my first time using a service for pet sitting and I was completely happy and comfortable using Buckhead Paws. My sitter sent me photos and journals everyday on the company’s app and emailed me directly when she had questions. My dogs and I enjoyed the experience, and we will definitely use them again!”

“Mark and Robin at Buckhead Paws are very professional, caring, and run a great business. They set us up with Brian, our dog sitter, and now we feel so much better about going out of town. He visits our pups to feed and let them out, and always texts with info on how they’re doing as well as sends pictures. Buckhead Paws has online scheduling so requesting appointments is super easy. Mark even helped us secure some last-minute visits for our dogs when our holiday plans changed suddenly. We’re happy we found Buckhead Paws!”

“Look no further: Picky talking, and Picky is pleased. Mark the owner is both comforting and extremely responsive. After speaking with Mark, I immediately felt assured that I had found the right group to place my trust in. Barbara, my assigned pet sitter, was kind, patient, professional, and went above and beyond to care for my kitties.

This is a group that I would recommend to fellow hard-to-please pet owners. They are top notch, and now have a lifelong customer in me.

Charlie, Kobe, and I thank Buckhead Paws for exceeding our every expectation :)”

“A few years ago, our cat sitter had to cancel the week of the Thanksgiving holiday. Most people were booked, and I was frantic. Mark at Buckhead Paws was WONDERFUL! Though the schedule was full, he fit us in, arranged everything and our cats were cared for and happy and content when we got back a week later. We use them often and can’t recommend them highly enough! I rest easy knowing my pets are in good hands when we’re away.”

“I’ve been using Buckhead Paws off and on for almost 4 years now and I highly recommend them! As always, their walker, Eileen, took great care of the dogs, was super communicative and sent lots of pictures, and went above and beyond to make sure the dogs were comfortable while I was away. It looked like the dogs enjoyed their staycation and I was glad to know they were in good hands!”

“I have been using Buckhead Paws for years. I love everything about the service Mark and his team provide. I rely on them for daily walks while I’m working as well as pet sitting while I travel. Because he has a team, there is never a question that they can scale up to fill my needs. Most importantly, they genuinely care for my dog — and focus on making sure he is treated well.

Greetings! I’m Mark Shaver, owner. Before Buckhead Paws, I had a long corporate career working in executive positions for Coca-Cola, Baskin Robbins, and RJ Reynolds Tobacco for over twenty-five years. I spent fifteen of those years living and working overseas, with assignments in Korea, Pakistan, and Moscow, Russia.

In 2004, I retired and returned to the States, settling in Atlanta. In 2009, the original owner of Buckhead Paws was moving to Marietta, so I agreed to help out by taking care of the few clients she had at the time. However, I had so much fun, and we enjoyed such strong growth, that I bought the company two years later.

Running a small, customer-focused business is a far cry from running country operations for a multi-national corporation, but I feel a genuine “pride of ownership” with Buckhead Paws that I never had in my previous career. We form deep relationships with our clients, both 2-legged and 4-legged, and every day is another opportunity to be of service.

## The Wisdom Of Our Pets

![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20621%20497'%3E%3C/svg%3E)

A friend who knows I own a pet sitting business in Atlanta recently shared this sweet cartoon with me, and, while it was good for a little chuckle, I was struck by the wisdom behind it.

In his book, _The Power of Now_, Eckhart Tolle writes, “Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have.” That’s a lesson we can learn from our pets as well: They are always fully present, fully in the moment. If only we could do the same. Our pets don’t worry about “what if’s” or what they look like or their insecurities. As Tolle says, “An animal has no opinion of itself. It simply is.”

Our ego makes our lives more complicated than they need to be. Perhaps that’s one reason we love our pets so much: They uncomplicate our lives. In fact, the benefits of owning a pet mirror the benefits of doing meditation: Pets reduce stress, anxiety, and depression; they ease loneliness, encourage exercise and playfulness, and even improve our cardiovascular health. Caring for an animal can help children grow up more secure and active. Pets also provide valuable companionship for older adults. Perhaps most importantly, though, pets can add real joy and unconditional love to our lives.

Our pets can help us to be fully present, and when we’re fully present, we don’t hate ourselves; we don’t love ourselves; _we simply **are** ourselves_.

## The Key To The Keys For Pet Sitters And Dog Walkers

One of the many challenges about running a dog walking and pet sitting business is that there are just so many different moving parts. And there’s no better example of that than managing the inventory of keys for our Buckhead Paws Atlanta-area clients.

Whenever a new client wants to use our services – whether for a dog walker or pet sitter – we always ask for two working copies of their house key. One is for the primary dog walker, the other is for contingencies and goes into a key safe in our Buckhead office. That sounds simple enough, doesn’t it?

But we have nearly 300 active pet sitting clients in Atlanta, Buckhead, Midtown, Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, and Decatur. Some use our services seven days a week, some call only when they travel, and that may be only once a year. In the meantime, we have team members move on to other jobs, and we have new team members join us; clients move to a new location within our service area, or change locks on their home, or install keypad entry — any one of a variety of things might happen to affect the client’s key.

Oftentimes, we’ll hear from a client at the last minute, asking if we could have someone, “just drop by to give Fluffy a quick dog walk or play visit”. Sounds so simple, doesn’t it? Except . . . we need to look at which dog walker currently has that client’s key, and, if that person isn’t available, start figuring out how we can (a) find a team member who has availability, and (b) get a key to that person, and (c) if that team member has never been there before, can we really send them in “cold turkey?” We don’t like to do that . . .  but we’ve done it occasionally to meet an urgent need for a client.

[![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20346%20234'%3E%3C/svg%3E)](https://buckheadpaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/keys-scaled.jpg)

And the responsibility for keeping track of all these keys falls squarely on the shoulders of our incredibly capable Office Manager, Robin (see her _**[30-second introductory video here](https://youtu.be/ICyodGhdjcE)**_). Robin retired from the State of Georgia after 30 years of implementing all sorts of systems for doing and tracking things, so when it comes to keeping up with keys for hundreds of pet sitting clients, there’s no one better; she’s like a pit bull staying on top of it. All so we can keep things running smoothly and safely.

Hats off to Robin for her amazing efforts keeping up with the keys! If you haven’t used our pet sitting or dog walking services in a while but plan to in the future, do we have a current copy of your key?

## What To Tell Your Pet Sitter Before You Leave Atlanta

Whether you’re a new pet sitting client, someone who hasn’t needed us in a while, or one of our beloved “regulars,” the information in your Buckhead Paws Client Profile becomes even more important if you’re traveling. We tell our clients, “Pretend we’re coming into your home completely blind; we’ve never been there before, and we’ve never met you or your pet.” Clearly, the more complete the profile is, the more we can be of service. (This is also a good time to remind our regular clients to keep profiles current — situations change, and it always helps us to have the latest information). When you’re out of town and using our vacation pet sitting or overnight pet sitting services, an updated Client Profile helps us ensure that your dog or cat has a fun and safe vacation too.

A key element in building a relationship with a new dog walking client or getting reacquainted with you and your pet is the “Meet and Greet.” In fact, we don’t accept a new client without this all-important meeting. It’s complimentary, with no obligation to use our services, and it sets the foundation for our pet sitting relationship going forward. This is the time for you to tell us and show us everything you’d like us to know about your fur-kid(s): feeding instructions, routines, favorite dog walking routes, fears, phobias, likes and dislikes, meds, etc.

![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20238%20357'%3E%3C/svg%3E)The following list is by no means exhaustive, but it gives a good idea of the kinds of things we want to discuss at the Meet and Greet, as well as keep current in the Client Profile:

- **How we should enter the home**

- **Your pet’s medical history**
- **Your pet’s behavioral history**
- **The details of their mealtime routine**
- **Your pet’s bedtime routine**
- **Meds?**
- **The location of supplies**
- **Emergency information**

Our primary goal is to provide complete peace of mind to our clients — clients need to have the freedom to focus on what they need to do; we can’t have you spending valuable time and energy worrying about what’s going on at home. A thorough Meet and Greet and a comprehensive Client Profile will help us do exactly that!

## Buckhead Paws To The Rescue

Understandably, the vast majority of our dog walking and pet sitting clients are from the Atlanta area (including Buckhed, Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Decatur, or Midtown). But once in a while, we have a visitor from out of town who needs our services. And that was the case Saturday morning.

A man left a message on our Buckhead Paws phone at 6:35 am that he’d just arrived in town from North Carolina and was staying at the Westin Hotel in Buckhead. But they wouldn’t allow him to check in because his beagle, Chance, exceeded their weight limit. He was calling every service in town to try to find somewhere he could board Chance for the next two days.

Traditional boarding facilities couldn’t help on such short notice, because they always require a trial socialization period. And, at that hour of the morning, he wasn’t having any success connecting with other services.

Buckhead Paws heard the message about 7:20 am, and the client’s desperation came through loud and clear. We don’t have a kennel or boarding facility, but we do have a couple team members who could take in a pup in an urgent situation . . .  and that’s just what this was.

A quick call to the client confirmed that he was indeed still trying to find a solution for boarding Chance. During the call, we asked if Chance has any behavioral issues. Without missing a beat, the client said, “Yep, he’s lazy!” Cracked us up!

The next reach-out was to Robert, the newest member of our team, who quickly stepped up and said, “Why, yes, indeed; I’d be delighted to host Chance for a couple days!” And so it was that within the next few minutes, we set up the client’s profile, put him in touch with Robert, and made arrangements for the handover. By 8:45 am, Chance was in good hands with Robert, and a very relieved, satisfied new client was on his way to do whatever he needed to do.

Chance’s dad took a chance on us . . .   and we’re so glad he did! We aren’t always able to pull rabbits out of the hat like we did early on this Saturday morning, but it sure feels good when we do. Special thanks to Robert for making it happen!

## The Complicated Truth About a Cat’s Purr

[![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20326%20226'%3E%3C/svg%3E)](https://buckheadpaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/kitty-purr-scaled.jpg) No one is certain exactly why cats purr, although there are a number of good theories. The obvious conclusion is that they seem to make this noise when they’re feeling pleased and content with their circumstances. But that’s not always the case, as sometimes cats purr when they’re nervous, too. We may never really know what our cats are trying to tell us, but research from animal experts lets us make an informed guess. Stephen Dowling from the BBC explains further in his article, _**[“The Complicated Truth About a Cat’s Purr”](https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20180724-the-complicated-truth-about-a-cats-purr)**_.

Whether your furry feline is in Buckhead, Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Decatur, or points in between, your trusted pet sitters at _**[Buckhead Paws](https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3A%2F%2Fatbuckheadpaws.com%2f&c=E,1,oAdloDDkf8puOBBrIuvHNuDs5-r56u5491qVGOu719py-yWDBRER-ITcWn41LBdSpN_yS99RAJlm1IK21_FrDUIJjANkdOlvXwh55zrO&typo=1)**_ will make your kitty purr with delight!

## How Often Should a Pet Sitter Visit?

[![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20340%20225'%3E%3C/svg%3E)](https://buckheadpaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/sad-cat-scaled.jpg) A potential new Atlanta client called recently, asking about pet care for their kitty cat. This prospective client was leaving town for a week. She said they have an extra-large food bowl that was always kept full, an extra-large water bowl, and an extra-large litter box. She asked if we could visit her kitty Monday and Thursday that week.

These kinds of calls aren’t uncommon: Some kitty owners ask us to come every two or three days. And some dog owners headed out of town have a doggie door and therefore say they need us to come only one time per day to feed. The short answer to both questions is, simply, no.

It would be great if I could blame our insurance company: “Oh, I’m so sorry, but our liability insurance requires us to visit at least once per day for cats, and at least twice per day for dogs.”

![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20339%20244'%3E%3C/svg%3E)

But that’s not the truth. The truth is that I just cannot, in good conscience, leave a beloved pet unattended for that length of time. It’s too easy for kitty to get trapped behind a refrigerator or locked in a closet. And it’s just too easy for a frisky pup to get locked out of a doggie door, or choke on a stick or a chipmunk or . . .   whatever.

And so I tell prospective clients just that: Pet Sitters need to visit kitties at least once every 24 hours, and pups at the very least twice per day. That policy has cost us a few new clients (who think we’re trying to gouge them and make more for the company), but I sleep better at night knowing that we can look after the clients who do choose us for their pet sitting and dog walking needs.

Whether you’re traveling or just need us to come by during the day, [_**Buckhead Paws**_](https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3A%2F%2Fatbuckheadpaws.com%2f&c=E,1,0436Rc8XC1uNnFGMa2N_1eubVHKmGMjwHhgUSx5OT-umczR_9Eu4i393dCUXgESmi-WzlKKbPG7kanggImEDPpocyGq7uONKumUxshJ8fDTe9yDMEA,,&typo=1) is your complete Atlanta area pet care provider. **Call us at 404-432-1192!**

## Why Cats Knead

It’s true that most of our Atlanta pet sitting clients have dogs, but we also have a lot of kitties that we dearly love. [![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20213%20288'%3E%3C/svg%3E)](https://buckheadpaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/happy-kitty-scaled.jpg) I have such happy memories of my own kitty, Gigi – I had to say “Good-bye” to her about two years ago, after being together for over 19 years. Her passing left quite a hole in my heart.

Gigi was a great “kneader.”  She often jumped up on my lap and began kneading my tummy before settling in for a nap. I found this behavior both endearing and annoying; after all, her claws were sharp little pinpricks! Recently, I found this article by Rae Paoletta of Inverse magazine explaining _**[Why Cats Knead](https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fgetpocket.com%2fexplore%2fitem%2fwhy-cats-knead-according-to-science%3futm_source%3dpocket-newtab&c=E,1,eaWwF6-sPzJ3qIy2Hcb6W3OMLxa03KqhECHNGCiqkCeQwRAVhUM5XoMvmaxgOkFeLmXn3PbjPoMhFDNjztdckLcrTtsqyc78M1eAxwxBS1O9umPX9ONQpOjLjT8,&typo=1)**_. It turns out this activity is every bit as adorable as it looks.

Call us at _**[Buckhead Paws](https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3A%2F%2Fatbuckheadpaws.com%2f&c=E,1,MGl4C85hyNY62tCnLbIVFXcQU3_bL_txHHqLkWtxdehLZv1HEEjLXVszT805gV24spumeAV-I_iOoW2lR62SaojDohdpkidOZnJd7J0OT0DI2-gTuJ4G2o4EK9o,&typo=1), 404-432-1192**_, and we’ll happily let your kitty knead our tummies!

## Pet Theft Awareness

## Pet Theft Awareness

Ruff-ly 2 million fur-kids are stolen every year in the U.S. Sadly, only 10 percent of stolen pets ever make their way back to their families – others are used as bait for dog fights, bred in a puppy mill, sold to labs that do animal testing, or face other cruel fates.

At Buckhead Paws, we CARE about the safety of your fur-babies and want to help you protect them. Here are some suggestions to help keep your beloved pets safe and sound:

[![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20300%20199'%3E%3C/svg%3E)](https://buckheadpaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/dog-tied-to-pole-scaled.jpg)

- **Never leave your barking buddy alone in a yard, car, or tethered outside a place of business, even for a moment – it’s all the time a thief needs.**
- **Having your pet spayed or neutered will help lessen your fur-kid’s tendency to want to roam and will also keep thieves that are stealing dogs to breed from taking your baby.**
- **Don’t forget to have your fur-kid microchipped. Many pets have been reunited with their owners even YEARS later because of microchips. Affix an ID tag to your pet and make sure that you keep it and your microchip information updated if you move.**

Need a mid-day check for your buddy? Let Buckhead Paws meet your pet sitting and dog walking needs. Our trained professionals know exactly what to do to make your baby feel spectacular and to keep them safe and sound. Call us today, 404-432-1192.

## The Value of a Good Trainer

Barbara, a friend on Facebook, wrote about her greyhound’s separation anxiety. While we aren’t recommending one trainer or solution over another, I thought this story was share-worthy. There IS hope if your sweet dog experiences this!

“Isolation distress/separation anxiety is one of the most exasperating dog behaviors to work through. Anxiety in dogs is similar to that in humans. It simply doesn’t respond to logic. You can’t just leave your dog alone and let them “get over it.” Distressed dogs have jumped through glass and chewed through doors. You have to follow a slow course through ID/SA training. You read books, speak to your vet, enter online chatrooms, and find a community of people who get it. You get frustrated, angry, hopeful and hopeless, sometimes all in the same day.

I found Malena DeMartini Price online. She specializes in training owners to help their dogs. I spoke [![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20365%20245'%3E%3C/svg%3E)](https://buckheadpaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/sad-doggy-1-scaled.jpg) to her for an hour, free of charge. She made suggestions, and I signed us up for her training. After months, we had a breakthrough. This week I was able to do training absences 7 days running, all over an hour, 4 absences for 2 hours, and tonight I got to go to my book club without the dog (all while monitoring an app and the PupCam), and I was away for 3 HOURS.

We still have a ways to go, and I know that sometimes two steps forward translates to a step back, but I feel like I can see the light in the tunnel and can imagine having a life back again. I’m so appreciative of every friend and professional who has helped us.”

If the beloved pup in your life struggles with isolation anxiety, give us a call. We aren’t experts, but we can help you find resources who are.

## Social Distance And Your Best Doggie Friend

Isolation can get us all down, but pets can bring us special joy no matter what our circumstances are. With the warmer weather , there are plenty of opportunities to have fun with your furry friend(s). And on rainy days, there’s always snuggle and indoor playtime. Here are some suggestions for activities that haven’t been canceled:

1. Take him, her or them on a special hike, while respecting social distancing. The Beltline, parks, and  nature hikes are open. Here are some ideas:

3. Watch a dog-themed movie and snuggle on the couch! One dog we know is fascinated by watching _The Wizard of Oz_, especially the Munchkins.

4. If you don’t want to or can’t leave the house, book a dog walk with Buckhead Paws. Our “Daily Dog Walks” are 20-30 minutes, while “Extended Dog Walks’ are 45-60 minutes. Book online to give yourself and your pooch this special treat!

## How Your Fur-Kid Says “I Love You”

Your fur-kid tells you s/he loves you all the time, but perhaps you aren’t paying attention. Buckhead Paws Dog Walking and Pet Sitting offers a few “I love you” messages you might be missing:

**1\. They bring you gifts. Like dead birds. [![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20211%20307'%3E%3C/svg%3E)](https://buckheadpaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/cat-on-bed-scaled.jpg) [![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20214%20292'%3E%3C/svg%3E)](https://buckheadpaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/excited-dog-scaled.jpg)**

**2\. They act like you’ve been gone a year when you get home.**

**3\. They take up your whole bed OR try to lie directly on top of** **you.**

**4\. You can’t even pee in private because they want to be with you… always.**

**5\. They taste-test your food if given the chance… just to make sure it’s not** **poisonous, right? [![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20354%20338'%3E%3C/svg%3E)](https://buckheadpaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/dog-eat-icecream-scaled.jpg)**

**6\. They chew up your favorite shoes, but only because they smell just like you** **and they miss you.**

## Do you confuse your dog? Look at these eight ways you might be doing so.

I learned something new from **_[this article](https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fBuckheadPaws.us9.list-manage.com%2ftrack%2fclick%3fu%3dbaf7c5c302cc7d55e08e290c0%26id%3d3b799c3af7%26e%3d5861927744&c=E,1,CYIhVD5rXQmsoIgNjI7rsuNtflNlxHD8ETdSDGCOsjMOm_80TdhoLQs9hYAx8m99jODZhKD93_Qo324ndPDNl3nbnVD6jctzwzn6TbM9JWLBwg,,&typo=1)_** and wanted to share it with you. The explanation for each item in this list bears reading for more insight that will help you and your furbaby connect.

**1\. You leave them alone (How can you do that to me???) [![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20311%20222'%3E%3C/svg%3E)](https://buckheadpaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/dog-behind-fence.jpg)**

**2\. You are visually driven (That’s so boring!)**

**3\. You change your shape and appearance (Hat or no hat? Sweater and slacks, or bikini?)**

**4\. You like to hug (Makes it hard for me to chase squirrels)**

**5\. You don’t like to be bitten (But I’ve got to chew on SOMETHING!)**

**6\. You don’t eat food from the bin (How do you ever get a decent-sized bite?)**

**7\. You share territories (But at least your friends don’t pee in your house) [![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20303%20208'%3E%3C/svg%3E)](https://buckheadpaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/another-dog-hug-scaled.jpg)**

**8\. You use your hands a lot (I don’t have opposable thumbs)**

(And here’s a hint: a visit from Buckhead Paws can help your pup deal with #1)

(from an article by Melissa Starling and Paul McGreevy that appeared in _The Conversation,_ 2/5/2020)

## Post-Quarantine Separation Anxiety in your Pets

Perhaps you’ve seen the stories recently that animal shelters and rescue organizations all across the country are experiencing something they’ve never seen [![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20228%20169'%3E%3C/svg%3E)](https://buckheadpaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/dog-hug-003-scaled.jpg) before: empty cages! Yep, one positive outcome of our stay-at-home orders has been a surge of pet adoptions, as people everywhere who have been intending to adopt a pet “someday” finally decided that someday has arrived.

Even if you didn’t adopt, I bet your furry friend has been thrilled at having you home 24-7. More than likely, they’ve never before had this kind of quality time with you. However, now that we are gradually starting to open up again, there’s another factor to consider: separation anxiety.

Our pets thrive on consistency and predictability, and a sudden change in those routines can cause stress. There have been a number of articles recently about severe separation anxiety in our pets (see one [here](https://buckheadpaws.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=baf7c5c302cc7d55e08e290c0&id=841b7a0a64&e=5861927744)) once we return to work.

[![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20250%20158'%3E%3C/svg%3E)](https://buckheadpaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/funny-kitty-scaled.jpg) Even if you aren’t returning to work in the immediate future, there are things you can do now to help your pup deal with this stress when it happens:

- Stick to your leaving-for-work routine – if you crate your pup when you go to work, continue to do so.
- Or, give a favorite treat, then go for a walk on your own to simulate leaving.
- Leave the house – of course, it can’t be for eight hours, but be absent for a little while.
- Go to the grocery store, take a bike ride; you’ll enjoy the break!

- Separate yourself – for a few of your working hours, go into an office or bedroom and close the door. They’ll know you’re there, but still have the sense of being home alone.

And, when you do return to your pre-quarantine routine, consider using a professional pet sitting service to help maintain the routines you’ve established. You and your pet will both have peace of mind.

## Finding Comfort In These Difficult Times

This is a really difficult time. We have so much negativity consuming us. We are rightly outraged at social injustice; the political divides between us only seem to grow larger; our economy is teetering on the brink of depression; and we are removed from family, friends, and everyday pleasures by the threat of a virus we can’t see.

Kindness, love, and compassion have never been more needed than they are now. It’s a good time to remember that our pets are unconditionally loving and are always there for us. In the midst of the turmoil, pause a moment, smooth the fur on your pet’s head, look them in the eye, and give them a long, deep hug. Not for them, but for yourself. Well, OK . . .  for them, as well.

And when you need us, remember that Buckhead Paws is here to be of service. We’re masked, gloved, and ready to go.

## Another Reason Why Atlanta Pet Sitting Clients Should Use a Professional Pet Sitting Service

If you’re considering using a dog walker or pet sitter in the Buckhead, Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Decatur, or Midtown areas of Atlanta, be kind to yourself and be sure to hire a professional pet sitting service that is both bonded and insured. Here’s a real-life example that demonstrates why this is so important.

One of our more experienced employees was visiting Boomer, a beautiful liver-and-white English Setter mix; he’s fun, lively, full of energy. Our usual routine is![Meet the Breed: The English Setter | BaxterBoo](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20448%20298'%3E%3C/svg%3E) to walk around the block, then play in the large backyard, so Boomer can practice his tennis ball-chasing skills. Toshia and Boomer were playing with the tennis ball, when it bounced into a large patch of ivy. Boomer ran into the ivy, found the tennis ball . . .   and gave out a yelp. He came limping out of the ivy patch (tennis ball in mouth!).

Our team member was trained as a Veterinary Technician, so she carefully examined his paw and lower leg, but couldn’t find anything, so she put him back in his crate, thinking it might have been a bruise. She went to her next client, but when she finished, she went back to check on Boomer. And when she did, she found his lower front leg very swollen and very tender. That’s when she called the office. We immediately called the client and got his OK to take Boomer to the vet, where a quick check found TWO sets of snakebites. Yep, Boomer had been bitten twice by a copperhead. He spent four days at the vet, and responded beautifully to treatment, no worse the wear for his adventure.

But here’s the rest of the story. In addition to calling the client and taking Boomer to the vet, we also called our insurance company and explained what had happened. And our insurance company covered the entire $1,100 vet bill. Remember, this happened at the client’s home, on their property; on another day, it might have happened when the client was playing with Boomer. But it happened on our watch, not the client’s. So our liability insurance covered the bill, without blinking an eye. Needless to say, the client was overjoyed.

This story has a happy ending. There were a number of times when a different action could have resulted in a different outcome. Our Buckhead Paws dog walker showed good judgement, deep concern for Boomer, and good decision-making skills. We acted quickly and communicated clearly. And, because we’re bonded and insured, the client was able to focus on caring for Boomer, rather than worry about paying for his care.

If we can be of service to you, _**call Buckhead Paws at 404-432-1192**_.

### Active Dogs + Atlanta Summers = Potential for Heatstroke!

It’s hot out there and understanding how your dog regulates his temperature is important for his safety. Instead of sweating as humans do, dogs eliminate heat by panting. If you notice your dog is panting excessively or unwilling to move, this may be a sign of heat stroke. The most common cause of heat stroke is a careless pet owner. Don’t be that owner! Learn how to protect your pet _**[here](https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fwww.petmd.com%2fdog%2femergency%2fcommon-emergencies%2fe_dg_heat_stroke&c=E,1,g2u3v8SrKL6ezsUlp8kwDjHUZAouJJ_oU7Irich4h6vjqD-cJYvvKaKeSU_OYkuDyJ4aMu4DSKNgxCA3edZLwZU3gcru-SKe5A7MQ_8-bMqy5T0jaMHa&typo=1)**_ in Vladimir Negron’s article in PetMD.

“I have been using Buckhead Paws for years. I love everything about the service Mark and his team provide. I rely on them for daily walks while I’m working as well as pet sitting while I travel. Because he has a team, there is never a question that they can scale up to fill my needs. Most importantly, they genuinely care for my dog — and focus on making sure he is treated well. I can’t recommend them highly enough!”

“I’ve been using Buckhead Paws off and on for almost 4 years now and I highly recommend them! As always, their walker, Eileen, took great care of the dogs, was super communicative and sent lots of pictures, and went above and beyond to make sure the dogs were comfortable while I was away. It looked like the dogs enjoyed their staycation and I was glad to know they were in good hands!”

“A few years ago, our cat sitter had to cancel the week of the Thanksgiving holiday. Most people were booked, and I was frantic. Mark at Buckhead Paws was WONDERFUL! Though the schedule was full, he fit us in, arranged everything and our cats were cared for and happy and content when we got back a week later. We use them often and can’t recommend them highly enough! I rest easy knowing my pets are in good hands when we’re away.”

Lynda W. and Pillow & Riga, clients since November 2017

“Look no further: Picky talking, and Picky is pleased. Mark the owner is both comforting and extremely responsive. After speaking with Mark, I immediately felt assured that I had found the right group to place my trust in. Barbara, my assigned pet sitter, was kind, patient, professional, and went above and beyond to care for my kitties.

This is a group that I would recommend to fellow hard-to-please pet owners. They are top notch, and now have a lifelong customer in me.

Charlie, Kobe, and I thank Buckhead Paws for exceeding our every expectation :)”

BH and Charlie & Kobe, clients since June 2020

“Mark and Robin at Buckhead Paws are very professional, caring, and run a great business. They set us up with Brian, our dog sitter, and now we feel so much better about going out of town. He visits our pups to feed and let them out, and always texts with info on how they’re doing as well as sends pictures. Buckhead Paws has online scheduling so requesting appointments is super easy. Mark even helped us secure some last-minute visits for our dogs when our holiday plans changed suddenly. We’re happy we found Buckhead Paws!”

## [Separation Anxiety: A Growing Problem in the Atlanta Area](https://buckheadpaws.com/separation-anxiety-a-growing-problem-in-the-atlanta-area/)

[Mark Shaver](https://buckheadpaws.com/author/mark-shaver/)[No Comments](https://buckheadpaws.com/separation-anxiety-a-growing-problem-in-the-atlanta-area/#respond)

Lately, our Atlanta dog walkers and pet sitters have been reporting a noticeable increase in separation anxiety among our 4-legged clients. There’s no doubt about it: whether they’re in Buckhead, Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Midtown, or Decatur, the unsettledness in our world is having an effect on our dog and cats. In addition, as we’ve been quarantining and sheltering-in-place, our furry friends have loved having us home. But now, as more businesses open up — and as more people return to work — our pets find the comforting, secure routine being disrupted. Yes, separation anxiety is “a thing”. It’s real, and it causes heartache for pets and owners alike.

Recently, I came across this wonderful piece called, [“How to Help a Dog With Separation Anxiety: The Ultimate Guide”](https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fpuppybeing.com%2fhelp-dog-separation-anxiety&c=E,1,iV3hjEyNDsMWcnna0ij18H40OegZ5hNmiEFIgHHdGpqpbcCJ8wQAKOnHcCdE9s4bHB3FcVcbGzUps7XnWOX9HhcQ0laV1q0kaqD-ieu-QtgQFdM,&typo=1) by Janet Walker with PuppyBeing.com. Whether you have a dog or cat, Janet’s guide is thorough and comprehensive – it will answer every question you might have about how to deal with this issue. And, you might want to check out some of her other helpful articles, as well.

While most other pet sitting and dog walking services in metro Atlanta work with independent contractors, **each Buckhead Paws team member is our employee, not a random person at the other end of an app.** We contribute to Social Security and Medicare for our team, as well as provide Workers Comp to protect clients in case of an injury on the job. We coach and mentor our pet sitters and dog walkers; can’t do that with contractors. In addition, everyone must pass a written test upon completing our training manual. Then, to ensure the best fit with our clients, we carefully match the pet sitter to the pet and the people. All of this means you can be assured that team members exemplify our five core values of Fun, Adaptable, Confident, Efficient, and Supportive — the FACES of [**Buckhead Paws**](https://buckheadpaws.com/about).

[![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20469%20313'%3E%3C/svg%3E)](https://buckheadpaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/girl-with-dog-scaled.jpg)

The 16 folks on our team who service Buckhead, Brookhaven, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, Decatur, and Midtown are fun, active, and interesting people. We range in age from college students to retirees. Some of us are single, some are married or partnered. We have interests and hobbies that run the gamut, from teaching yoga to playing drums, driving souped-up cars, teaching music, or operating a ham radio. We have a professional actor who recently appeared in an episode of a Tyler Perry TV series, and an Eagle Scout who delivers meals to the needy on Sundays after church. One is a sports psychologist who counsels high school athletes to maximize their performance, and another managed a 60-person real estate office. In short, we’re “just folks” who all share a deep and abiding love for animals and a commitment to a high level of service to both our 2-legged and 4-legged clients.

[![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20473%20312'%3E%3C/svg%3E)](https://buckheadpaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/sg-team.jpg)

If you’d like to meet one of our people in the Atlanta metro area, _give us a call at **404-432-1192**_. You’ll appreciate the higher level of trust afforded by dog walking and pet sitting professional employees versus independent contractors. You’ll know who is coming into your home and caring for your precious pets.

## [15 Of The Coolest Things You Can Teach Your Dog](https://buckheadpaws.com/15-of-the-coolest-things-you-can-teach-your-dog-2/)

[Mark Shaver](https://buckheadpaws.com/author/mark-shaver/)[No Comments](https://buckheadpaws.com/15-of-the-coolest-things-you-can-teach-your-dog-2/#respond)

![top-display](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20840%20870'%3E%3C/svg%3E)

Dogs live to please their masters. There’s no better way to let them do that best than by teaching them some great tricks. So, without further ado, here are some of the coolest tricks to teach your canine companion. If you’re not a good teacher, your Buckhead Paws pet sitter can help!

![teach your Atlanta dog to sit](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%2045%2039'%3E%3C/svg%3E)

1\. Sit – It serves many purposes

It’s one of the most basic but useful tricks: When your dog sits, she knows that she has to stay there until you give her another command. So it’s great when you don’t want your dog to run around and disturb you while you’re busy. Outdoors, it keeps your dog safe.

![Teach your Buckhead or Atlanta dog this trick](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%2045%2039'%3E%3C/svg%3E)

2\. Open and Close a Door

This trick should only be taught if you are absolutely certain that your dog won’t be running outside too often, thanks to her new-found skill.While this trick is easy to teach to big dogs, smaller breeds will no doubt find it a bit harder, at first. Also keep in mind that larger breeds could leave deep scratch marks on the door if they get too excited. Therefore, teach your dog to only open doors which have ropes or a stuffed toy attached to the door handle. This lets you choose which doors are safe for pup to open. It must be a lever-handled door.

![OPEN](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20145%20226'%3E%3C/svg%3E)

1. Tie a rope or a toy to the door handle, and encourage the dog to tug the rope or toy.
2. Once he tugs, praise and reward him with a treat (only when your dog has done it successfully).
3. Once he can open a door, you can hold a treat in a way that encourage he to jump on the door to close it.

![Buckhead dogs can fetch](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%2045%2039'%3E%3C/svg%3E)

3\. Play Hide & Seek

1. Get your pooch to sit and stay.
2. Slowly back away, making sure he stays put.
3. Hide somewhere close and pretty obvious, and say COME! GIve a treat when he comes.
4. Gradually hide in more difficult places, out of sight. It’s hard not to giggle when he’s running around the house looking for you. And it’s a delight when he’s so happy to find you!

![2 group](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%2061%2075'%3E%3C/svg%3E)

![2 group (2)](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%2090%2098'%3E%3C/svg%3E)

![soccer](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%2045%2039'%3E%3C/svg%3E)4\. Play Soccer

![SOCCER Another Atlanta Pet Sport](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20156%20243'%3E%3C/svg%3E)Soccer requires only the use of one’s feet, so it’s a good choice for a doggone fun game. Dogs are naturals when it comes to playing soccer, which makes it all the more fun to teach. Choose a soccer ball a bit larger than your dog’s mouth so that they won’t attempt to swallow it. Using a larger ball will also prevent him from picking it up and running away with it (a foul in dog soccer). Also, choose an empty park or a garden so that your dog doesn’t chase other kids instead. And make sure you take a bag of treats along with you to reward her whenever she dribbles well.

1. Get her acquainted with the soccer ball, by giving it to her and allowing her to smell it. If she begins to move the ball by herself, praise her immediately and give a treat. If she isn’t interested, you can begin by rolling the ball gently toward her while you encourage her how to play.
2. Encourage your dog by praising her every time she touches the ball with her nose or paw. It might take several trips to the park to finally make her dribble the ball like a pro, in the end you will see that it is totally worth it. Her Buckhead Paws pet sitter can take her o the park anytime you can’t!
3. Once she is comfortable with the concept, start kicking the ball farther away from you and encouraging her to dribble it back to you. End by rewarding her with a treat so that she’ll play with you next time.![2 group](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%2061%2075'%3E%3C/svg%3E)

![water](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%2045%2039'%3E%3C/svg%3E)

5\. Water Fetch

![WATER Fetch for Atlanta Dogs](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20145%20226'%3E%3C/svg%3E)Water fetch is a great game when you’re on the beach or by the pool. But, before you [teach your dog](https://buckheadpaws.com/category/blog/) this, you will have to teach her how to swim, especially if your pet is not a Spaniel or a Labrador. You will also need to get a life jacket for your dog, just in case. To begin, get into the water, and then encourage your dog to do the same with a treat. Once your dog is comfortable staying afloat, you can use a ball or some other toy that floats to coax your dog to fetch it.

![sing](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%2045%2039'%3E%3C/svg%3E)

6\. Sing

![SING](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20145%20226'%3E%3C/svg%3E)Many dogs just like the sound of their own voice, which is why they will sing every time you pick up an instrument and begin to play, or if her favorite song is playing on the radio. But, others will need a little bit of encouragement. WARNING: It might not be a good idea if you’re living in an apartment and have grumpy neighbors! (Some dogs prefer to  practice when you’re not home).

Expose your dog to different genres of music to see which one tickles their fancy. Once you’ve found the one, stick to it and inspire your dog to sing along with you. Since you’re the leader of the pack, it’s important that you lead by example. So, you’ll have to practice your howling skills, too. Since dogs are direct descendants of wolves, they’ll easily find their howling abilities once you encourage them.![3 group](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%2096%2098'%3E%3C/svg%3E)

![high-five](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%2045%2039'%3E%3C/svg%3E)

7\. High-Five – Surprisingly easy!

![HIGH-FIVE for Buckhead Paws](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20145%20226'%3E%3C/svg%3E)Just make your dog sit, and encourage her by rewarding with a treat. Hold the treat in front of her, but a bit out of reach, while saying “high five.” Don’t forget to tap one of her feet while you do that. Most dogs will normally raise their paw toward the treat in your hand. When she does, catch her paw with your hand and give her a treat.![2 group (2)](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%2090%2098'%3E%3C/svg%3E)

![kiss](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%2045%2039'%3E%3C/svg%3E)

8\. Kiss

![KISS](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20145%20226'%3E%3C/svg%3E)While all dogs can lick your face without you having to give them any command, teaching them how to give you a gentle kiss without covering you with saliva is usually a challenge.

1. Place a treat in front of your face and give the command. Offer your cheek by extending it in front of your dog until she touches it with her nose. Then, before she has a chance to give you a lick, offer her a treat instead. You need to be fast for this one, since pulling away as soon as she touches your cheek with her nose will make her learn that all she has to do is press her nose against your cheek gently to get the treat.
2. Remember, do not let your children show her this trick if your dog is known to get overly excited. This could cause her to nip your child by accident. Also be careful while teaching this trick to the larger breeds, since a small tap of the nose could sometimes turn into a painful head butt.

![handstand](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%2045%2039'%3E%3C/svg%3E)

9\. Handstand

![HANDSTAND to wow your Atlanta dog walker](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20145%20226'%3E%3C/svg%3E)One of the best and more advanced tricks to teach a dog is definitely the handstand. Small breeds such as the Chihuahuas perform this trick spontaneously, since they have large heads and relatively small bodies. Teaching larger breeds how to find their balance will be quite a task but not impossible.

First and foremost, you will need to ensure the safety of your dog, and to do that you will need to help your dog develop the muscles which he will then use to perform the trick. You can start off by having him stand in front of a wall with his hind legs raised on a small block or a stack of books. He will be able to proceed to the next stage, if he can raise himself off the ground in order to get into position. Once your dog is able to place his back feet on the wall without any help, hold out a treat and encourage him to move forward, away from the wall. Place your hand on his belly to help him develop his balance.

10\. Playing the Piano

![PIANO playing dog in Atlanta](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20145%20226'%3E%3C/svg%3E)Why not teach your [pet dog](https://buckheadpaws.com/) to play your piano? You will need a standard-sized piano, and a dog, preferably a larger breed. Start by placing the piano in front of your pet and, once she shows a sign of interest, reward her with a treat. Now, give her a treat whenever she shows interest in the piano. Most dogs will usually start to press the keys with their paws once they find out that good things happen whenever they are close to the piano.

![prayer](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%2045%2039'%3E%3C/svg%3E)

11\. Saying a Prayer

![PRAYER](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20145%20226'%3E%3C/svg%3E)So, you’re not religious—so what!

1. Start by making your dog sit in front of you.
2. Teach your dog how to give you her paw (use ideas from the High Five trick above). Once she does that, extend your arms so she can rest her paws on your forearm. Don’t forget to praise her as soon as she gets it right.
3. Place a treat in front of her nose, and then lower it slowly underneath your arm, so that she does the same until her head is lowered underneath your arm and between her paws. If your dog tries to remove her paws, remove the treat, and start again until she gets it right.

![army](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%2045%2039'%3E%3C/svg%3E)

12\. Army Crawl

![ARMY](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20145%20226'%3E%3C/svg%3E)Such a great trick! While some begin to crawl without any training, others need a little encouragement. Start by giving a “lie down” command. Then, hold a treat between your fingers so that he’s able to smell it, but cannot take it from you. Now, slowly drag the treat along the floor, encouraging him to keep his head lowered. Have him crawl a longer distance each time until he’s ready for boot camp!

![salute](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%2045%2039'%3E%3C/svg%3E)

13\. Salute

![SALUTE](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20145%20226'%3E%3C/svg%3E)Start by commanding your dog to sit down. Now stick a small piece of tape right above your dog’s eye. Then as your dog raises its paw to attempt to remove the tape, give her a treat. With a little bit of patience you should be able to teach your dog how to salute without using the red tape, eventually.

![loo](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%2045%2039'%3E%3C/svg%3E)

14\. Using the Loo

![LOO](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20156%20243'%3E%3C/svg%3E)Remember that Jim Carrey movie where he commands his dog to put the seat down after using the loo? Well, that’s not that far-fetched a trick, but it will be one of the harder tricks to teach. To start, you’ll need to change the command you’re probably using right now to “go potty.” Once she’s able to associate relieving herself with the command, you can introduce a litter box in the bathroom. Take your dog’s paws and place it in the litter box while repeating the command. Eventually, your dog will learn how to use the litter box instead of going outside. When she is able to do that, you can then place the box into the toilet itself and encourage her to jump up on the toilet whenever she has to go the bathroom. Pretty soon, you will be able to remove the box altogether and have your dog use the toilet whenever she needs to do her business.

![skateboarding](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%2045%2039'%3E%3C/svg%3E)

15\. Skateboarding

![SKATEBOARDING](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20156%20243'%3E%3C/svg%3E)Skateboarding is extreme, no matter which way you take it. But, teaching smaller breeds such as pugs or bulldogs is a great idea. You can start by introducing her to the skateboard: Place the skateboard upside down so that she can inspect it. (Dogs are usually afraid of moving objects, let alone getting on one). Now, turn the skateboard over and roll it away from her. Take the skateboard outside and encourage her to touch the skateboard. Eventually, she will jump on it, but make sure that you are there to balance her at all times.

Ending Note

So, there you have it. All it takes is patience and few bags of treats. Ask your Buckhead Paws dog walker to help!

## Pet Sitting: Have You Discussed With Your Pet?

If you are like most pet owners, your dog, cat, parrot, snake, or even lizard can become a part of the family. Treating your pet with the same respect, care, and love that you would your own kin, you are probably going to be seeking out a service that does not only provide the basic necessities for your pet such as something to eat and drink. The best services are the ones that offer a sense of compassion, reliability, and the capability to make your pet feel at ease in their care are the ones you’ll be more inclined to leave your loved one with.

Many of us choose the most cuddly, cutest pets to make our own and our family’s companion. The problem is, in doing this, we normally choose the pets that require the most attention and the presence of a human most of the time. Working, booking holidays, or even having a night out can quickly become forbidden when you are not comfortable leaving your pet with a pet sitter.

**Are there alternative options?**

Sure there are, but each comes with their own advantages and disadvantages.

To accommodate times such as the aforementioned nights out etc. People often depend on family or friends to care for our pets. The problem with this is that a repetitive pattern can emerge, leading to disputes and further issues between you and the friends or family you are leaving your pet with.

Another option is to put your pet into a boarding facility (also known as a kennel). Most of us cringe at the idea as soon as we hear the word kennel, and rightly so!

In defence of this method, no one needs to come to your house while you are out or away plus supposed professions are monitoring your pet.

When it come to the cons, it is a whole different ball-game:

- In an environment different to their home, dogs in particular become very stressed in kennels.
- Being fed different food to their normal diet; some pets can incur stomach problems that cause diarrhoea or vomiting, which only add to their stress levels.
- In a kennel with many other dogs, infectious diseases are more likely to occur due to the population in the small area. Not forgetting that stress can cause viral infections in dogs.
- Play time with your dog and additions such as extra walks incur further fees. This should be innate and already present when putting your dog in a kennel!

**What can a pet sitter offer me than these methods can’t?**

Funny you should ask, I was just about to explain!

As for the advantages of a pet sitter, they are as follows:

- Being in his/her own normal environment, your pet will not have to suffer from the stress and turmoil of the dreaded kennel option!
- Eating their own regular food and keeping their routine unchanged, your pet will avoid all the gastrointestinal problems and upsets that can occur in kennels or even when you leave them with your friends or family!
- With a pet sitter, you can also have your mail retrieved, your house checked on, and even your home looked after whilst you are out or away. Sometimes, a pet sitter will even offer to stay at your home should you prefer this kind of service. Staying in your home, your pet is provided with masses of attention, care, play, and companionship.

The one and only caution to the pet sitter option is that you are opening up your home and pets to someone you do not know. This being the case, you need to be thorough in your research of the pet sitter, looking into their reviews, references and quality of service before enlisting their services.

With many advantages, pet sitting often takes first place when it comes to service quality. With these facts at your display, the decision is pretty clear.

Pick a pet sitter!

**How do I know which pet sitter to hire?**

With the vast benefits that a pet sitter brings, it is crucial to focus on the aforementioned pitfall. The essential part of picking a pet sitter is to choose one that will maintain and care for your pet’s well-being and safety. As simple as this may seem, picking out the best quality pet sitters from the amateurs in the pond can be a very trying task.

Firstly, you need to look for reviews and referrals from your family, friends, neighbours, your dog’s veterinarian, or your dog trainer if you have one. By going through this process of questioning, you will discover first-hand perspectives that are not swayed and falsified like the reviews you might find online. If you find a good referral from one or several of these options, take it! Otherwise, look into solid upstanding pet sitter websites that hold a vast review quantity portraying their quality.

Do your research!

![b4](data:image/svg+xml;charset=UTF-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20width%3D%22790%22%20height%3D%22481%22%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D%22%23babbb5%22%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22263%22%20height%3D%22160%22%2F%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22263%22%20height%3D%22160%22%20fill%3D%22%23ad602f%22%20x%3D%22263%22%2F%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22263%22%20height%3D%22160%22%20fill%3D%22%23c0c1ba%22%20x%3D%22526%22%2F%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22263%22%20height%3D%22160%22%20fill%3D%22%232a0e08%22%20y%3D%22160%22%2F%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22263%22%20height%3D%22160%22%20fill%3D%22%2318120f%22%20x%3D%22263%22%20y%3D%22160%22%2F%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22263%22%20height%3D%22160%22%20fill%3D%22%233a1d13%22%20x%3D%22526%22%20y%3D%22160%22%2F%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22263%22%20height%3D%22160%22%20fill%3D%22%23230d07%22%20y%3D%22320%22%2F%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22263%22%20height%3D%22160%22%20fill%3D%22%232a0e08%22%20x%3D%22263%22%20y%3D%22320%22%2F%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22263%22%20height%3D%22160%22%20fill%3D%22%23d58647%22%20x%3D%22526%22%20y%3D%22320%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E)

So, let us say that you spoke to your cousin who knew of a great pet sitter that his friend hired one time. Do not simply accept his word. Instead, proceed to the next step of evaluation.

Look into their skills!

A pet sitter’s skills can be observed through their collection of qualifications and training sessions they have gained and been through. To gather this kind of background knowledge on a specific pet sitter, it is best to schedule an interview with them.

Once you have arranged the interview, it is time to prepare your onslaught of questions and requirements. Some examples of these could be:

- Does the pet sitter have any documentation of their qualifications and training?
- Do they belong to a professional association?
- How many years have they been a pet sitter?
- Does the pet sitter have any references that they can provide?
- Does the pet sitter have a contract for their service?
- Has the pet sitter participated in any pet-specific healthcare seminars or training courses?
- How broad is their knowledge of medical care for pets?
- If the pet sitter is unable to get to your house, do they have any backup plans in place?

As you can see, the more questions you ask, the more secure you will feel leaving your beloved pet with this professional.

Having asked all your questions, a good sign to look out for is when the pet sitter questions you!

These questions would be:

- What are your pets eating habits?
- What food does your pet eat?
- How many times does he/she have to go for walks?
- What is your pets grooming needs, if any?
- Is your pet on any medication?

By asking you questions about your pet, the pet sitter would already be giving enough of an impression that they know what they are doing. This is the exact quality you should and will be looking out for when deciding upon which pet sitter you wish to hire.

Another important step is to allow the pet sitter to meet your pet. Observing how your dog reacts to the pet sitter while examining how the pet sitter interacts with them will give you further insight into the pet sitter’s capabilities and qualities.

**The crucial bits: Bonding and Commercial Liability Insurance**

When choosing your pet sitter, these two dull terms are and will be vital when deciding which pet sitter to hire:

**Bonding**

To begin with, bonding is the term given to protect the client from theft of their belongings in their home. When a claim of fidelity or dishonesty is made, the ‘bond’ set in place comes into play. If the pet sitter is convicted, the bond will repay the client for their loss of items while then moving on to seek the financial reimbursement from the pet sitter themselves. Relying heavily upon a criminal law court conviction, this bonding procedure often takes several years to complete.

**Commercial Liability Insurance**

This form of insurance is put in place to cover the pet sitter should unfortunate circumstances occur. Like any kind of cover, this insurance covers pet sitters in several areas such as the following:

- The delivery and collection of minded pets.
- Liability to animals under your care, control or custody.
- Loss of keys to the client’s property.

Very straightforward, hiring a pet sitter that is not ‘bonded’ or a pet sitter without Commercial Liability Insurance can only open you and your pet up to potential problems and incidents at a later day.

With this in mind, be sure they have both of these protections in place before you even think about hiring them!

**No Cooperation without Communication!**

Methods of communication and contact with the pet sitter should be your next concern.

The exchanging of phone numbers and email addresses should be carried out by default. Without these, all kinds of problems can and will arise.

While you are away, maintaining communication with your hired pet sitter keeps you informed and comfortable with the standard of care your pet is receiving while providing the pet sitter with reminders not to get too comfortable in your house!

To keep track of your pets health and maintenance, a majority of all pet sitters would document your pets overall mood, eating habits, reactions to a stranger being present, and their general activities each day. Alongside this, some pet sitters are even accommodating enough to provide texts or electronic photographs throughout each day to settle your worries while you are away from you pet.

**Pricing for the services**

This was always going to be the least appealing aspect of hiring a pet sitter, but it has to be assessed and researched into to avoid being ripped off and receiving an inappropriate service charge.

Depending on the number of times the pet sitter will have to visit your home, the durations of each visit, the requirements for each visit, and the times of day the visits take place, these base charges usually won’t differ too drastically between different pet sitters.

Where substantially different charges come in are when accidents occur caused by your pet such as torn up furniture as a result of the dog’s stress, water spillage requires cleaning up, whether any trash needs taken out on specified bin days, and if there are any veterinarian or emergency appointments while she looks after your pet in your stead.

The prices alter so differently here due to the personality differences per person. Some pet sitters will take such issues in their stride and see nothing of them, leading them to charge you lesser rates. On the other hand, pet sitters that prefer to avoid such issues may charge higher due to their squeamishness.

On average, you can expect to be paying out up to $100-$200 in the space of a couple days for a pet sitter depending upon the requirements mentioned above – a cost that is certainly worth the care, attention, and companionship provided by great quality pet sitters.

With all the main grounds covered, here are several tips to finalise your pet sitter hiring process:

- The earlier you decide to hire the pet sitter, the more likely they will be able to book your absence dates.
- Rather than returning to your home with a pet sitter lacking the house keys you gave them, have a spare cut for your own person and leave a cut spare in with the neighbour so that they can let the pet sitter in should such incidents occur.
- If you have some form of home security system in place, showing the pet sitter how to function it correctly will save a police car call out late at night!

Having gone through all these thorough processes and hassle, this pet sitter can now become someone you can rely upon in the future.

Definitely an investment worth the time and money if you plan to hire them again in the future!

## How Buckhead Pet Sitters Can Help You While You’re Away

Owning a pet is one of the greatest joys in the world, but it’s also one of life’s biggest responsibilities. In return for the companionship and unconditional love given to you by your pet pal, you must provide whatever it is your pet needs—shelter, food, exercise, medical care, and more.

Unfortunately for many pet owners, it’s impossible to be with their pet 24 hours a day. They have responsibilities outside of the home and also want to enjoy their lives with recreational and family activities that might not be pet-friendly. The good news is Buckhead Paws in north Buckhead is available to help. We can fill in the gaps with a professional pet sitter and dog walker when you just can’t make your pet your main priority.

## How can we help when you’re away?

### **Keep Your Pet Active**

Your loving pet needs exercise and in some cases, lots of it. Some breeds of dog require an hour or more of physical activity each day. Unfortunately, by the time you finish with your busy work day, you might be too worn out to go on an hour-long hike. Not to mention you need the weather to cooperate during your non-working hours.

At Buckhead Paws, we can get your pet the activity they need during the day. We’ll take your [pet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pet) for long strolls or a quick walk through the neighborhood. We can also engage your pet in fun activities indoors when the weather warrants it.

Did you know a dog gets the same “workout” from mental stimulation as from physical activity? On days when getting outside isn’t an option, we’ll engage your pet in indoor fun that gets their mind working.

### **Provide Supervision and Care**

Loving pets need supervision and care and, unfortunately, this need doesn’t always coincide with your work schedule. In addition to the usual care every pet needs such as bathing, brushing, and litter box cleaning, your pet might have special needs.  It’s tough being away from their people, but a little attention is a great way to calm them down and relax.

As part of our [pet services](https://buckheadpaws.com/best-home-care-pets-atlanta/), we will provide a house sitter and we’re also able to take care of pet responsibilities outside of the home, like taking your pet to the vet or picking up food or medication from the store. Our goal is to make pet ownership as easy as possible for you and provide your pet what they need.

### **Monitor Your Home**

Caring for your pet is about more than just feeding, bathing, and cleaning up. You also need to make sure your home is safe. Most homeowners dread the idea of a home invasion, but the fear is even worse if your pet is at risk. At Buckhead Paws, we’re able to monitor the safety of your home with a trusty house sitter—for your sake and for your pets.

Having a pet sitter visit your home while you’re away serves as a deterrent for criminals. They aren’t sure whether you are really home or not, or who will be coming and going from your home while you’re away. It’s a great way to take care of two concerns at once: Your pet gets care and your home is protected.

### **Collect Your Mail and Other Deliveries**

Additionally, we’re able to take care of some of the routine tasks of homeownership that are neglected while you’re away. We can perform daily functions, such as watering plants, bringing mail and newspapers inside the house, opening or closing blinds, and altering your home’s lighting.

This adds an extra layer of protection while you’re away and makes it easier to relax and enjoy your time away, whether it’s for a day or a few weeks. It also makes it a lot easier to get back into the swing of things once you’re back.

### **Ensure Your Time Away from Home is Free of Stress**

At Buckhead Paws, our number one priority is your pet. But it’s also our goal to make sure you’re able to relax and enjoy your time away from home. We know it’s stressful to spend time away from your pet during the workday, which is why we’re available to walk your dog or engage your pet in activities throughout the day.

We’re also here when you need to spend several days away from home. Vacations can be one of the most stressful events in a pet’s life. They are home alone more than usual and unsure when their people will return. Not to mention the burden it puts on you during your vacation—feeling guilty, wondering how things are going at home, or worried that your pet is uncomfortable or unhappy or worse, unsafe, being boarded while you’re away.

We help alleviate the stress of travel for you and your pet by providing the companionship they need to relax and feel comfortable—allowing you to do the same!

Having a [pet sitter](https://buckheadpaws.com/5-situations-when-you-really-need-buckhead-pet-sitter/) visit your home is a safer alternative to boarding or doggy daycare while you are away. Your pet remains in the environment to which they are accustomed, so even though they miss your presence, it’s still familiar surroundings. Not to mention having your pup guard your home while you’re away is an additional security measure!

At Buckhead Paws, we’re a resource for your life and we can help you increase your efficiency—all while making your pet companion happy.

For complete peace of mind, let Buckhead Paws [take care of your dog](https://buckheadpaws.com/best-home-care-pets-atlanta/) while you’re away.

Do you need a dog walking or pet sitting business? Perhaps someone to stay the night with your pet, in your home or ours, while you’re out of town? Whether you’re in Buckhead, Brookhaven, or the North Atlanta area, Buckhead Paws is here to help—that’s what we do. We absolutely love pets!

Call us at [404-432-1192](tel:404-432-1192), or you can reach us via email or the contact form to get in touch.

# A Pet-Free Vacation with Buckhead Dog Sitters

Last year’s vacation with the spouse, kids, and dogs—all packed into the family car—was a cramped mess. The car smelled like a dirty mop, you kept running out of dog food in the middle of the desert, and the dog got off the leash and was lost in the woods for three days, making you miss your exotic cruise.

No matter how much loving care you have for your dog, they can drive you mad when traveling.

Having a dog as a pet is a real honor and a privilege. They become your best friend in the world and the mirror of your soul. No matter what, just like a child, when you make yourself responsible for the life of a dog, you must put your companion’s health and happiness as the most paramount priority.

As humans, we have bred the pet, which we now call dogs, from a wild animal: The wolf. Since we have determined the adaptation and evolution of this animal and have dictated its purpose as our pet companions, we are obligated to be a servant to them. The servitude and love you show to your dog will be paid back to you tenfold, with every second of time you spend together. Dogs are just big bundles of love and emulate the life in which you show them.

Spending time and developing a relationship with your dog, decreases a person’s stress levels in the brain. This is because, when you play with your dog, the human body imitates the heartbeat of the dog, synching their immune systems rhythm and producing [dopamine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopamine)—the happy chemical in both brains. Even though caring for a dog can be stressful at times, the health benefits of companionship and visceral connection are shown to outweigh the stressors associated with pet ownership.

Dogs of different breeds and types can be intelligent in different ways. Though all dogs are intelligent, some breeds possess an acute set of naturally adapted skills and well-honed abilities to learn tasks and take orders. Some breeds have a higher emotional intelligence, drawing from a desire to please, making them highly trainable and attentive to an owner’s directions.

At Buckhead Paws, trained [professional pet sitters](https://buckheadpaws.com/buckhead-pet-sitting-keeping-your-pet-and-home-safe/) and animal handlers, work with dogs from a wide range of starting points with total pet play. Pet caretakers are experienced in working with young, independent and wild puppies to obedient, over-the-hill pups of every age and breed.

There is plenty to learn about what makes your dog tick and plenty to unlearn as well. At Buckhead Paws, pet care associates possess an in-depth knowledge of dog behavioral patterns, pet first aid, Atlanta laws regarding pets in general, and complete loving care for your pet. While you are on vacation, Buckhead Paws include [daily dog walks](https://buckheadpaws.com/atlanta-dog-sitters-soothe-pet-youre-vacation/) with experienced dog walkers, midday visits, puppy park days, overnight pet sitting, and feeding pets on a predetermined schedule.

The luxuries included in Buckhead Paw Services extend to running errands for your pet, washing and shampooing your pup, [doggy messages](https://www.borrowmydoggy.com/blog/2015/6/tips-for-messaging-your-pawfect-borrowmydoggy-match), brushing, medicine administration, and cleaning litter boxes.

In addition, home services include the option to perform daily functions, such as watering plants, bringing mail and newspapers inside the house, opening or closing blinds, and altering your home’s lighting via specific instruction.

[Buckhead Paws Pet Care Service](https://buckheadpaws.com/) is more than a vacation for your dog; it’s a tool for your life to increase the efficiency of your daily life and the happiness of your puppy companion. For complete peace of mind, let Buckhead Paws take care of your dog while you’re away.
