Operating since 2019, Lefty’s Pet Care Atlanta is a professional dog walking and pet sitting business serving multiple neighborhoods across the city. The business is owned by Kristen, a Certified Professional Pet Sitter with more than 15 years of experience in animal care and training. The company is bonded and insured, holds membership with Pet Sitters International, and carries business insurance through Business Insurers of the Carolinas.
Services include individual dog walks, drop-in visits, in-home pet sitting for extended owner absences, and pack walks with hiking outings. The firm emphasizes individualized care, with a philosophy that every pet has unique needs and should be treated accordingly rather than managed as part of a uniform group. The tagline “rescued is our favorite breed” reflects the owner’s background in animal welfare and ongoing commitment to rescue-friendly care.
The service area is centered on East Atlanta Village and extends roughly six miles in all directions, reaching Grant Park, West End, Midtown, Candler/McAfee, and North Decatur. This defined geographic focus allows the company to maintain consistent, reliable service within the community rather than stretching resources across an overly broad metro territory.
New clients begin with a complimentary meet-and-greet in which Kristen assesses each pet and establishes a personalized care plan. After the meeting, clients create an online profile through Time to Pet software. The platform enables appointment requests, schedule viewing, real-time visit updates with photos and report cards, and billing management, all from a single client-facing interface. Weekly recurring clients are eligible for discounts on services.
The onboarding process moves in three steps: submit a new client form, complete the meet-and-greet, and activate the online account. Kristen pursues continuing professional education in pet care techniques and training methods, maintaining credentials current with industry standards. Social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and Yelp supports client communication and community engagement.
