Dog Walking in Sumter

“Bless her heart, she took my big old treeing walker coon hound for a walk and he didn't want to come home after 30 mins so she walked him for another 50 minutes! He was too big for her to force home, but he eventually got tired and came home without fuss. I'm so grateful to her for being so flexible and patient with him!”

“Hi all, I am new to this service but Robert made it very easy to leave our sweet babies. He took very good care of our animals which are chickens, goats and our golden retriever. Our golden retriever needed special care with different medications. Robert made it his top priority to make sure he had medicine on time and also with love since our dog doesn't like taking medicine. Haha...who does right? If you want a person to look after your babies use Robert M. He is amazing and dependable! Highly recommended!”

“Bradley has been amazing walking our dog Duke. He is professional and efficient and our Duke loves him and jumps up on to him everytime he comes to take him for a walk. We will definitely rebook in the future!”

“Lindsey was great - she came by to meet and greet our high maintenance special needs dog and spent 2 hours trying to make him comfortable. She was great with Sadie for their walk! Very good with dogs!”

“My pups love staying with lasheena. She takes such great care of them like they were her own pups. Our smallest is very particular about many things and lasheena made sure she was well taken care of. I enjoyed all of my video and picture updates from her showing all the fun my pups were having.”

“Alana is a Super Star! She is so very patient and loving towards animals. My animals looked forward to her visiting! She has given my 2 large dogs baths, clipped & grinded their nails. She even brushed their teeth! She gets them outside for some physical activity and just plain fun! I can tell, she is passionate about her works with animals! Thank you for everything, Alana!”

About: I’ve had dogs for my entire life and know they are just like family. I love pets and I love to care for them. I also take care of others dogs and animals quite often!

I have a fenced in yard for your babies to run around and play in safely. Give me your dogs/cats schedule and they’ll be taken care of.

“Hello. I have known Karrington for about five years. We first met when she was a dog trainer at Petco. I was the new recipient of two shelter rescue dogs and I was having no luck training these dogs. They were loveable pets, but we not responding to commands and could not be taken outside unless they were on leashes, or they would instantly dash off. Karrington very confidently trained the dogs to be obedient, and she educated my family and me on how to effectively communicate our intent to our dogs. Now, their behavior has greatly improved, to the point where some friends and neighbors joke that these cannot be the same dogs. Our dogs no longer bark excessively, ignore commands, have accidents indoors, or dash off. Now we can even take the dogs outside in the yard without leashes. They understand and respond to verbal commands. This is all due to Karrington's training methods and her insights into 'dog culture' that have allowed us to better understand and communicate with our dogs to achieve desired results. Karrington has a wealth of experience with dog training, and she has a talent for coaching people to get more effective results from their dogs, and integrate them as loving, loyal, and obedient members of the family. Karrington is definitely an asset to any team or franchise that focuses on pet (especially dog) health and well-being. I strongly endorse Karrington for a position with Rover.”

“Jenny once again was amazing! I booked her for a last minute dog walk and she was on time and updated me with lots of pictures. My go-to girl!”

About: I want to create a trusting bond with the owners and their dogs. I want tell the owner that I want to care and make their dog happy and create a human to animal relationship, so they don’t feel threatened but safe and loved. Just to be a good friend to their furry friend. I am aware that each dog is different, which makes them unique, which is why I love working with animals and being around them makes me feel good and hopefully to make the animal feel good. I’m not the greatest but I will work hard for you(owner) so you know that your dog is in great hands. Thank you for considering me and your time reading my “about me” paragraph, thank you. I am working part time and my availability is the days I have off on Monday and Friday and mornings Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday. Please reach out if you need anything! I live in a small apartment with my dad but if needed to watch a pet inside home I always spend time with the pup(all dogs are puppies to me). I will help out my family friends with their dogs and I always text to update them about when I let their dogs out, when I gave them food and water. Taking care of your and your pup’s needs is my priority making sure your pet is happy and safe.

About: I've taken care of puppies in training and older dogs on medications. I have experience with crate trained dogs and puppies. I also have experience with potty training. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and spending quality time loving them. I currently work at a small boutique/book store in town. My schedule Varys from week to week, but when I work full days it is from 10am-6pm with a lunch break around 1pm. This allows me to take care of your pets in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Some days I work half days either morning (10-2) or afternoon (2-6). I have taken care of many animals within my clients home, because they prefer someone to be there. I make sure all doors are locked at night after nightly potty routine, and make sure at least one light is on for safety purposes. If there is an alarm to be set, I set if before I go to bed. I follow the owners instructions for their pet as well as for their home to ensure responsibility and care for their pet and home.

“Sammie has watched my two dogs for me multiple times and is my go to dog sitter. I have two older dogs who do need a lot of attention and she is great with them! I trust her in my home and with me dogs, and I always came home to a perfectly clean home and everything looked great! BEST DOG SITTER EVER!!!”

“I have known Ariel forever, and have used her plenty of times. I met Ariel at church and first used her after I had a complete knee replacement a few years back. I was impressed with her willingness and ability to take care of all 3 of my chihuahuas while I was on complete bed rest. The only complaint I have about Ariel is that my dogs seem to enjoy her company more than my own! Haha, but in all seriousness I am happy to have such a great pet caretaker for my fur babies. Ariel is also very willing to help with other things around the house which was nice and very useful as I was unable to do things for many many months.”

About: Growing up I always had a love for all kinds of pets. Going for long walks and play sessions are my go to for having fun with fur babies. I love watching how happy they get after grooming or after eating delicious treats with a smile. I will take care of them as if they are my own babies and give them all the love and attention they need while your away. I am currently doing school at home for right now and unemployed till I graduate in 2 years so I have a free schedule for anytime. I will first take them for a potty break then they will eat and drink and I will entertain them by playing with them as long as they can till they are tired,( for my pets they usual fall asleep quickly after). Then will repeat these with treats as well as a few training lessons if necessary. But I mainly go based off how the owner wants me to take care of their fur baby. I also am a neat freak so I will clean any messes around your home if necessary with the owner.
