Dog Walking in Aiken

“Madison was professional and went above and beyond to tidy up and care for my 3 dogs. I am happy we found her in short notice and she was able to accommodate us. I will definitely depend on her in the future.”

“Thank you so much!! I already know Winston can’t wait for next week to be walked again! I got home to let him outside and he was looking around for you, lol. I love that he likes you!”

About: Hey there my name is Danielle, I have taken care of dogs of all ages ranging from puppies going through their first heat to senior dogs with lack of abilities. Growing up I had all sorts of pets in my home and enjoyed sitting and dog walking in my neighborhood. Also one of my first jobs was at a dog boarding and day care facility. I love all breeds of dogs and cats and just want to keep them happy and healthy and have a fun time. I am new to the area and do not have a set schedule yet. I am free during most week days during typical working hours. I love the outdoors so any chance to get some sunshine. I have a fenced backyard, and my dog is friendly. I do not leave dogs unattended outside because I want to be sure they won't try to escape the yard or dig holes. When in a client's home I am sure to read all instructions given prior to my drop in. I make sure that the their pet is given my full attention during my time there. If I have any questions I am not afraid to ask. I will also send updates and photos if requested.

About: Our 2-acre property has a fenced yard for constantly-available playtime and direct access to Hitchcock Woods for the dogs who love to hike! We have a high energy dog, two cats, and a toddler who looooves to pet and play with animals, so party pets only! We work from home with Fridays off every week. Our dog takes at least one long walk a day with plenty of play time outside if weather allows. In order to keep your pet exercised and happy, we expect good leash behavior and the ability to respond to basic commands- or at least be able to listen to "no" to make all of our lives less stressful! We lavish all our boarders with the same attention, snuggles, and exercise-balanced treats that our pets love. Since our cats have been part of the family the longest, your dog will need to be able to refrain from chasing them, so they can enjoy all their usual nap spots. While we love a guest, the safety and happiness of our full time residents is non-negotiable. We crate for sleeping so your pet can have a "home base" and not get up to trouble in an unfamiliar environment. We are happy to share Rascal's food, but if your dog has a sensitive stomach or a special diet, then they will need to bring their own food. We also expect them to arrive with their own leash, collar (with ID tag), crate or carrier for sleeping, and any toys, blankets, or other comfort items that smell like home to relax them and set them up for success during their stay with us. We can't wait to love on your pet!

About: I've cared for dogs and cats growing up my whole life. My family was always rescuing a different dog or cat off the streets so I've enjoyed all breeds. Now that I have a family I don't have any pets but would love to fill my evenings and weekends caring for yours! I can also do during the day but would have to bring my two kids so they need to be kid friendly. Can't wait to play with your animals!🫶🏼 I am currently a stay at home mom so I have free time to play with your animals. I am free evenings and weekends for any animal care you need. I can also do during the day but have to bring my two kids so your animal must be kid friendly. I can care for your pet depending on the service you need. If its a quick pop in to feed them or a walk around the block I'm your person!

“Avery was great. ZAK bonded with her right away. She was pleasant and punctual. I would definitely use her services again. ?”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, currently with 3 dogs ranging from 4 lbs to 65 lbs, 4 goofy cats, and enough fish tanks to rival a small aquarium in my home. When I left the US Army in 2012, I started working with animal rescue organizations and it became a passion of mine. I will provide intensive home care to geriatric dogs with complex health needs, including cancer, seizures, tracheomalacia, and diabetes. I have experience with puppy training and caring for adult dogs of all sizes. I have also cared for cats, lizards, turtles, horses, and a variety of fish! Whatever your pet care needs are, I’m certain I can take good care of your furry family. I work full time Monday through Wednesday, and am available for pet care Thursday through Sunday with flexible hours including early mornings to late evening. I prefer to meet your pets before the first appointment, so that I can see their environment and be familiar with their daily routine in order to best care for them.

About: My name is Alexandria, and I’ve had a passion for animals since childhood. I grew up helping on a farm until I was 12 and began working for a dog groomer at 14 which i stopped around 16, gaining valuable experience in animal care. I currently have two German Shepherds and three cats, and I’ve always been the go-to sitter for family and neighbors. Whether it's walking, feeding, or providing special care for senior pets or puppies, I bring love and dedication to every pet I care for. Currently on summer break from college and working part-time, I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. Whether it's daily walks or playtime, I can easily accommodate any pup or kitty into my routine. My schedule allows me to give them the attention and care they deserve, ensuring peace of mind for you while you’re away. While I don’t have a fenced yard due to Hurricane Helene, I’m happy to walk your pet using your preferred method. If your pet has access to a fenced yard, I’ll keep a watchful eye to ensure they’re happy and safe while they run around. I prioritize their well-being, making sure they get the exercise, play, and attention they need, whether it's on a walk or in the yard.

About: I have 25 years of experience as a pet sitter being self-dubbed the "overnight queen" as I specialize in overnight stays of any length. The dogs and I have FUN slumber parties during which I fully engage with and interact with them, playing with their toys and giving the most excellent tummy rubs imaginable! Owners are happy too as they return to a happy pet - dogs "tell" by their behavior and in over 500 pet sits, every dog has been safe, sound ... and happy! In fact, many owners say I did a great job because "my dog acted like it didn't even know I was away!" All dogs love me ... and I love them. Dogs are people, too - only better ! I am self-employed so can set my schedule, especially with as much advance notice as possible. I often bring my little 9 pound, Shih Tzu, which I keep and a carry crate and kennel that has worked out fine with both dogs and cats. We can arrange a meet and greet ahead of time to make sure everyone is comfortable. I have separate bedrooms if dogs need their own privacy, but I do try to have dogs interact and be friends. I have a long hallway to play fun games and go get it!

“Lydia fed the dogs and took them for a walk. Got a complete online report including a map of the route!”

About: Why should you consider entrusting your precious pup to my care? These 7 reasons may be important to you: - Your dog(s) will have 100% of my care and attention! I only host one client's dog(s) at a time, and I don't have any pets of my own (just great memories.) When your pup stays with me they'll feel like it's their home away from home, where they're loved and cherished.. My rate is higher than some because of this limitation; in return, my dedication to your pet's personal needs is unsurpassed - as you can see from my excellent reviews. (NOTE: I will take care of up to 2 dogs from the same family.) - I am a totally devoted dog lover. Dogs come first in my book. Caring, paying attention to the the ways in which they communicate, ensuring they are happy, calm, secure puppies... makes me happy! - I'm quite comfortable with very large dogs, and also have experience with dogs who experience separation anxiety issues. - I follow your directions! Your wish is my command regarding food, walks, verbal commands to use, toys, and any other special instructions. - I am a mature, dependable adult; have raised children; own my own home; no smoking, no drugs. You can trust me to make responsible decisions in an emergency. - I have a big yard that outdoorsy dogs really enjoy for potty breaks, playing catch, soaking up the sun, and supervising squirrels. - I have a quiet home (kids grown, beloved pets long gone) where I spend most days doing internet research and writing; lots of time for hanging out with and being a companion to your pet(s). I'm also within a short drive of the dog park and hiking trails, if that's appropriate to your pet's disposition and exercise abilities. Why I love dog sitting My family always had dogs: everything from Great Danes to Pomeranians, from show dogs to rescue dogs. Personally I have always felt a strong bond and mutual understanding with dogs. Since my last dog passed away, I have looked for the opportunity to spend time with canine friends, and Rover has provided a great opportunity for me to do just that. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, and have special understanding of dogs with separation anxiety and geriatric dogs. Meet my pets No other pets here - just yours! Looking forward to meeting! About my yard I have a big backyard that has lots of areas to explore all fully-fenced and dog friendly. The back yard is great for quick rest-stop needs (eg, if nature calls in the middle of the night) and on beautiful days it's nice to just hang out there and watch the squirrels and birds in the trees. My experience administering medication I'm comfortable administering oral and noninvasive medications, but not comfortable doing injections. When I'm caring for a pet I really enjoy their company, so spend most of the time hanging out with them or taking them places with me, if appropriate depending on the pet. If your pet has special needs like separation anxiety or a strict medication schedule, I plan my schedule around their care and comfort. I have a big, fully fenced back yard that is wonderful for sniffing around, playing fetch, watching birds and squirrels, and hanging out together when the weather's nice. In the house your pup is welcome to hang out wherever I am at the moment - kitchen, desk, bedroom. Sleeping arrangements will be per your instructions.

“can't recommend Michele enough, she handled my sassy, spoiled dogs perfectly. they walked the whole time which I wasn't expecting! she's a miracle”

About: I have been volunteering at animal shelters all over the East coast for almost 20 years and have a Chihuahua mix rescue of my own who is my whole world. I grew up with large and small dogs, cats, frogs, hamsters, and horses. I will care for your animals as I do my own!

Due to the nature of my job, some weeks I am more free than others so don’t hesitate to reach out! I will treat your pet and home as I do my own. I love all types of dogs and understand some may require different care than others. Each pet is just as unique as we are! My dog Declan loves to play with dogs big and small. Please let me know if your dog does NOT do well with small dogs.

About: Hi everyone! I live in Aiken, SC with my husband, our baby girl, and our pets. We have four dogs. I have cared for animals of all ages, including seniors with medical conditions, babies, high-energy animals, and pets that have behavioral concerns, etc. I have completed pet first aid and CPR training through Pet Safety Crusader. I have experience with administering medications, walking, feeding, and cuddling! I have experience administering insulin to cats. I am used to cleaning up after pets that are older and may not always make it outside or to their litter box for the bathroom, and animals that may try to dart out open doors or gates. I am mostly a stay-at-home mom during the week- my husband works full time regular hours. I am usually very available on weekends, and weekdays after 6 pm. I might be able to complete drop ins during the week if your dog is baby-friendly (she would be in a carrier or wrap during my visit). I am a new mom to a 10-month-old, so I no longer provide overnight care to people generally speaking! One of my dogs can be "dog selective" and tends to resource guard... so for everyone's safety, I do NOT watch pets in my home. Exceptions can be made for rodents or reptiles. I want to keep your pets as safe as possible while sticking to their usual routine while you're away. I pride myself on my clear communication. I recognize how scary it can be to leave your pets in the care of a stranger, and I am happy to do a "meet & greet" with you and your pets prior to booking. The more information you can give me about your pet(s), the better.

About: I'm Emily and I may or may or not be the worlds biggest animal lover! I grew up on a ranch in Texas and here in South Carolina working with and taking care of all types of animals, from bunnies to pheasants, pigs to horses. If it has legs and a cute furry face I have probably bottle fed it and raised it! I have fond memories of bottle feeding a pack rat in my teens and no my parents were not pleased =) I once bottle fed a litter of 5 kittens from birth, they all thrived and it was an amazing experience. I completed 7 years in the US Navy and for the past few years I have been mom Emily to my 3 boys. You CAN trust your house and pets with me. I currently have a flexible schedule! We can find a solution to your needs. My 3 cats are grumpy and persnickety, trust me, they wont miss me=) I am not currently watching any dogs or cats in my home, aforementioned 3 cats would be displeased BUT I can provide excellent care in clients homes.

About: I have had my first dog for six years, my second dog for four years, and a puppy for four months. I have learned to care for dogs of all ages and sizes. I am an MSW student with flexibility on Thursdays and Fridays and open weekends. On Wednesday I am free before 11 but in class until 9:30. On Mondays and Tuesdays, I work 8am to 5:30pm. I have a fenced yard and three friendly pups ready to keep your fur baby busy at my home! I also like to make homemade dog pawpsciles with berries and peanut butter upon request so your dog is sure to stay happy and refreshed!

About: I would love to take your fur babies out for walks and drop in on them to play. I have always had my own and i know how lonely it can be for them to be alone while their parents are at work. I can take them for nice long walk and even run with them if they are a little more energetic. i can always make sure they have enough food and water to get them through the day. I love to play catch and can take them to dog parks and let them get socialized with other dogs. I have my own baby they can even play together. I am so very excited to potentially work with you and your loving fur baby. I also have a very loving dog and if you are comfortable with it he really likes to play with other dogs.
