I am a college student who has grown up with animals and loves taking care of them. The opportunity to help pet owners out while creating a relationship with their furry babies would be amazing!

I currently live in the Buckhead area of Atlanta in a very dog-friendly neighborhood with a few nearby parks. I've always had dogs in my life thanks to a family of animal lovers. I currently have 3 in their senior years, 2 Weimaraners and a Jack Russel/Chihuahua mix. I've raised 3 others with my wife over the past 20+ years from young pups. I also enjoy spending time with friends and family and their dogs, socializing the pack with hikes and runs together. When time permits, I volunteer with local animal shelters like PAWS Atlanta as a walker and helping to maintain the facility. I've always had a connection with dogs I've met from the get go, small breeds to large, I enjoy their company, learning their personalities, and being active with them.

About an hour out of Mountain City, however, in the quaint village of Dahlonega, Kaya Winery & Vineyard welcomes four-legged friends on their outdoor patio. You can even find accommodations up the road at Barefoot Hill. Their cozy cabins are pup-friendly, though you will be subject to a fee.
