Dog Walking Amherst

About: I’ve been caring for animals for more than 30 years, starting with pet sitting for neighbors when I was in elementary school. While attending college in Raleigh, I expanded my pet sitting work and cared for multiple families with a wide range of pets and personalities. Before moving back to this area, I worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I provided daily exercise, supervised play, administered medications—including insulin injections—and made sure each dog felt safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is simple: to give your pet dependable care, attention, and companionship while you’re away. Whether that means a walk, playtime, a midday potty break, or extra patience with senior pets, I treat every animal with the same kindness and attentiveness I’d want for my own. I understand that every pet has a different routine and comfort level, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely so your pet feels secure, happy, and well cared for. I work remotely, so my daytime schedule is flexible and easy to plan around. My weekly routine is generally very consistent, which means I know my availability well in advance and can provide dependable walks, drop-in visits, and midday care without last-minute surprises. Pet care fits naturally into my day—I’m able to step away for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, or medication visits while still keeping a reliable schedule for both pets and their owners. At this time, I’m not able to offer boarding in my home, but I take caring for pets in their own environment seriously. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would expect in my own. I always make sure doors are secure, water bowls are fresh, and pets are safe and comfortable before I leave. I also pay attention to small details—cleaning up any messes, checking that toys are safe, and moving anything that could pose a risk (for example, a torn stuffed toy that could be chewed apart). One of the best compliments I’ve received from a client came after a week-long house sit: they told me, “It never even looked like you were here.” That’s exactly the experience I aim to provide—reliable, attentive care for your pet, and complete peace of mind for you.

“Wonderful and so caring, thank you Patricia......Elijah was very happy and content”

“Iliana took great care of our dog while we were away! She was even available to drop back in when we were unexpectedly delayed getting home. We'll book her again for our future pet sitting needs!”

About: With over 40 years of experience caring for animals and people—including work as a veterinary technician and a retired CNA/caregiver—I provide dependable, detail-oriented care you can trust. At Denney’s Den, dogs enjoy doggy Airbnb-style stays in my home- a calm, cozy, low-stress environment where they’re treated like family and given personalized attention while away from their hoomans. I also offer drop-in visits in your home, ensuring your pets receive consistent, compassionate care in the space they’re most comfortable. Since retiring from healthcare, caring for animals has become my full-time work. I am home most days, allowing me to provide hands-on attention, supervision, and a calm, structured routine for the pets in my care. My home offers a calm, safe environment with a large fenced yard and two friendly dogs. I intentionally limit the number of boarding dogs so each pet receives personalized attention. Crating is used only if preferred by the owner. For drop-in visits, I take great care to respect your home while ensuring your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine.

“Jaszmyn was so great; very communicative and really intentional with Pip!”

If the customer has a fenced in yard that is great and if not I do not mind going on walks or jogs with the dogs.

About: I have owned, grown up with, and taken care of animals since I could walk. The day that I was honorably discharged from the Navy, I actually went and picked up my Pitty MIx from the shelter and we were best friends for the best 11 years. Animals are misunderstood in so many different ways, and require patience, attention to detail, and most importantly love. I am very driven, schedule oriented, can multitask, and observant in everything that I do. I have a reliable source of transportation, my own home in Morganton, and will always be just a phone call/text away. I have taken care of all age ranges from puppies to senior dogs, because I have owned dogs from birth until their final days. Its not the easiest thing some days but it is the most rewarding. I work a full time job Monday through Thursday 0600-1630, and off on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Pet care fits into my routine because I have a dog of my own that requires daily walks and interactions with others at daycare. I have a fenced in back yard, that I am able to watch from at all times. My dog is allowed on the furniture and also goes with me on car rides. My dog is everything to me and is reflective of that in my pride with other animals. They're family!

By incorporating pet care into my routine, I am able to balance my passion for animals with my work schedule, ensuring that furry friends receive the care and companionship they need while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize their safety and well-being above all else. Here are some steps I take to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your beloved animals: 1. Secure the Home: I make sure all doors, windows, and gates are securely closed to prevent pets from escaping or getting into hazardous situations. 2. Pet-Proofing: I remove any toxic plants, chemicals, or small objects that could pose a choking hazard to pets. 3. Supervision: I closely monitor pets during playtime, meals, and outdoor excursions to prevent accidents or injuries. 4. Identification: I ensure that all pets have proper identification tags with up-to-date contact information in case they were to wander off. 5. Emergency Preparedness: I have a list of emergency contacts, including your veterinarian's information, on hand in case of any unforeseen medical issues. 6. Regular Updates: I provide regular updates and photos to keep you informed of your pet's well-being and activities while you're away. By following these safety precautions and providing attentive care, you can trust that your pets are in good hands with me in your home.
