Dog Walking Alexander

About: With pet sitting experience dating back to my childhood, I’ve built lasting trust with families who confidently rely on me for consistent, compassionate pet care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize consistent, attentive care for pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely by feeding, walking, playing, administering care as instructed, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable.

About: I am new to sitting however, I have been taking care of my own babies since I was in college, 16 years ago. I have always made them my priority and provided a loving home. I am currently working part time. It is mostly evenings and weekends. I’m available most of the day for hanging out, walking, and feeding. I am typically with my babies all day outside of work. We love to go on walks, watch tv, talk, and nap. I would love to split those hours with your babies!

About: I have two cats and a dog who mean the world to me, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. I would treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently in nursing school full time, which has strengthened my responsibility, patience, and compassion when caring for others. While my weekdays are busy with classes and studying, I’m available for evening and weekend pet care and would love to spend that time giving your pets the attention, comfort, and love they deserve. In my home or my client’s home, I care for pets by following their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection based on their personality and energy level. I’m mindful of any specific instructions from the owner, including medications, special diets, or behavioral needs. I also keep their space clean, make sure they have a calm and stress-free environment, and give lots of reassurance so they feel at ease while their owner is away.

“Megan was so caring for my pups! She kept in touch with updates and pictures, and made sure they got exercise and extra love in my absence. I definitely plan to use her in the future!”

“Kate is wonderful! She took great care of our pups, showing up right on time, sharing pictures, and even keeping me posted on how my dog was doing when I told her he was a little under the weather. Thank you, Kate! We will definitely call you again.”

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for animals who need a little extra patience, attention, and understanding. I have experience working with older dogs and sick animals, which has taught me how important it is to pay attention to the little things and recognize when a pet may not be feeling their best. I understand that every animal has different needs, routines, and personalities, and I’m happy to adjust my care to make them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or older and needs a slower pace, I’ll treat them with the same care and compassion I would want for my own pets. Pet care fits easily into my schedule because I currently work only about 10 hours a week, giving me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and other care needs, and I can work with your pet’s routine and schedule. Having a flexible schedule also means I can give your pets the time, attention, and companionship they deserve rather than rushing through a visit. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping them comfortable by maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. I follow their feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions closely while giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I also treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own, keeping things clean and secure. Most importantly, I communicate with owners throughout the stay and provide updates so they can feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I've had pets my whole life. I did 4 years of vocational training in veterinary medicine throughout high school, and I also pet sitted for neighborhood pets during that time. Afterwards, I went to college and got a Bachelor's degree in Animal Sciences, focusing on Behavior and Well-Being. I had many animal related jobs throughout that time and am fully ready to return to caring for cats and dogs. I'm currently working full time, so I am a bit busy. However, I am trying to get a part time job so I can have more time to dedicate to your beloved pets. I prefer to care for animals in their own home, so they can still feel a sense of safety and comfort if they are wary around strangers or don't care for new environments.

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up. All have been taken care of from 2 months and onwards! I find joy in connecting with animals and serving them - as they have served my life in beautiful ways by just expressing their unconditional love and gratitude with their movements and actions rather than words. It is an gift to be loved by these beautiful creatures daily. I am currently working independently and using this time to create and spend time with nature’s gifts. My schedule is very flexible - and I am willing to work with you! I make sure that they are walked, legs stretched, bowels taken care of, fed, played with and loved. Following the rules as listed by the parent. Mindful of the surrounding environment and respectful of what is needed of me.

About: Hi! I'm a dependable, caring animal lover who understands that pets are family. I grew up with a dog, so I know the importance of providing plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping pets safe and comfortable. I've also provided drop-in visits for pets, making sure they were fed, had fresh water, received potty breaks, and got the care and companionship they needed while their owners were away. In addition, my aunt has two cats, so I'm comfortable around cats and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and detail-oriented. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or someone to spend time with them while you're away, I'll follow your instructions carefully and treat them with the same care and respect I'd want for my own pet. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate daytime, evening, weekday, and weekend visits. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for while you're away. If you'd like updates or photos during my visits, I'm happy to provide them. Pet care fits well into my routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I enjoy spending time with animals and appreciate the opportunity to help pet owners who need someone dependable to care for their pets while they're at work or away. I'm happy to work with each family's schedule and follow their pet's normal routine as closely as possible. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, take dogs out for potty breaks or walks, provide playtime and attention, and clean up after them as needed. I also make sure the home is left just as I found it and carefully follow any instructions the owner provides. At this time, I plan to provide care primarily in my clients' homes. I believe many pets are happiest and most comfortable in their familiar environment, where they can stick to their usual routine and experience less stress while their owners are away.

About: Lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for dogs, cats, and just about any four-legged friend! I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to care for their pets and homes, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m an active person who loves getting outside, so whether your dog enjoys leisurely neighborhood walks, playing fetch, swimming, hiking local trails, or going on new adventures, I’m happy to match their energy and personality. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments—from laid-back lap dogs to high-energy adventure companions—and I’m committed to making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently available Monday through Friday and have a flexible schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Whether it’s an early morning walk, a midday potty break, an afternoon adventure, or an evening check-in, I’m here to provide dependable, loving care whenever you need it. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special care to ensure your pet feels comfortable and safe. I live on a large property with plenty of room for dogs to explore, play, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. We also have quiet dirt roads that are perfect for walks. For dogs who love getting out and about, I’m happy to visit local parks and trails like Richmond Hill, the River Arts District Greenway, Bent Creek, and other areas throughout North and West Asheville—always with your permission and only if it’s a good fit for your dog’s personality and activity level. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, active, and well cared for.

“Isabel is great! Very friendly and responsible! She has taken such good care of my dog.”

About: I have had dogs in my house for my whole life, and worked doggy daycare for Dog-Gone Rite. I feel I have plenty of experience and I love to be around animals. I am currently working from home so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I am available all weekdays as my work is not intensive. I like to sit with pets and watch them to ensure their safety as well as keeping them on a leash at all times outside.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was five years old. I still distinctly remember the breeder of the first dog I ever owned - a chocolate lab named Ginger - looking me in the eye after seeing I was apprehensive about the dogs and telling me, "Son, some day this dog will be the best friend you ever had." Ginger and I went everywhere together. I've had dogs and cats virtually my whole life, and the animals love me. While I am employed full time, I work in a hybrid setting that includes roughly 3 remote days per week, so I can be pet sitting on site and developing as close a band as I can to alleviate the babies' separation anxiety. I aim to please - if you'd prefer for your fur baby to be crated at night, then I will make sure s/he does that. My only job, other than to make the babies' experience as smooth as possible, is to follow the directions laid out by the owners.

About: I've been around dogs most of my life and have had two of my own in recent years. I recently lost my soul dog, Kavu. He taught me so much about patience and caring for a senior dog with cognitive decline and anxiety. I have a huge soft spot for grey faces. Extremely flexible work schedule and a student. Available most afternoons and evenings for walks or check ins. I can also offer a lot of consistency. I have been trusted by friends and family to take care of, walk, and spend time with their fur babies my entire life. I pay super close attention to detail and am comfortable with things like administering medications or feeding special diets.

About: Dogs have always been a joy for me to be around. I’ve completed several dog-sitting stays, including a two-week stay and multiple week-long stays, where I cared for feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and daily routines. While I’m newer to professional dog walking, I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to giving every dog plenty of exercise, affection, and care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I work hard to make both dogs and owners feel comfortable. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I work from home on my small business and attend occasional makers markets, making it easy for me to accommodate walks, and drop-in visit needs throughout the week. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Safety is my top priority during every walk. I regularly walk my mother-in-law’s dog and am experienced with keeping dogs secure on leash while paying close attention to our surroundings. I take appropriate precautions based on the environment, including traffic, wildlife, weather conditions, and interactions with other dogs. I understand that every dog has different comfort levels and needs, and I work to ensure each walk is safe, positive, and stress-free.

About: Many years experience taking care of pets. All shape sizes ages and attitudes. Can be chill and patient with older dogs and active for the younger. I have a flexible schedule so am available to check in or pet sit anytime of the day. Weekends and nights are available as needed I take care older dog and two young cats. Can come sit with or walk or just play with your pet. Also no problem giving meds and feeding.

About: Hi! I’m Jessie, and I have always been the person who gets way too excited when there’s a dog in the room. 🐾 I absolutely love animals and genuinely believe they deserve to be treated with the same patience, kindness, and care that we want for ourselves. I have a big soft spot for animals with big personalities, nervous pups who need a little extra time to warm up, and the ones who immediately decide we are best friends. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else. They’re family, and I don’t take the trust that comes with caring for them lightly. When your pet is with me, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved—not like they’re just being “watched.” I’m happy to follow their normal routine, whether that means long walks, playing until they’re exhausted, lots of cuddles, or letting them have some quiet time in their favorite spot. I’ll also happily send you pictures and updates because I know I’d want the same thing while I was away from my own dog! More than anything, I want your pet to have a good experience while you’re gone and for you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! ❤️🐶 I work full time from 8-5 M-F, and sometimes later. However, I am free most evenings after 6 as well as weekends. I have some holidays available as well so please reach out if you want to have me look after your pets! I have one dog and one cat. I take my dog on 2 mile walks a day and she is very friendly! My cat is my dog's best friend. If I end up taking care of pets overnight, I can arrange care for my own! I try to go to the dog park at least twice a day!

About: I've had pets since I was a teenager. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 ferrets and 3 birds (2 cockatoos one quaker parrots). I've recently retired as a Project Manager from the Department of Veterans Affairs after 34 years. I just became retired and so I have plenty of time to hang out, play and entertain your pets. Almost all dogs and cats love me. As a project manager with the VA for the last 25 years I've been in a position of high public trust requiring that I have a background check every 5 years.

“Stephanie is great! Very flexible schedule and my dog loves her!”

About: I've grown up around big dogs my whole life and love all pets more than anything. I believe every pet should feel loved and happy with the humans they around no matter how old, or young, they may be. With a very open schedule, I am happy to commit however long or short needed for your special companion! I am looking to find many jobs throughout my last semester at UNCA. I plan to schedule my days around walks or sittings I may have booked since I only have a few classes. I miss being around my dogs at home so helping care for your pets brings me joy! I respect the client and pets' space- no questions asked. Never hesitate to give me lists and lists of expectations, or just tell me to have fun! Whatever you need done will be accomplished!
