Dog Walkers in Balltown, SC

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 available on the weekends and I love the outdoors so any chance to get some sunshine is my favorite. Meeting new people and pets is something I always look forward to. 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: 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. I am currently in college at USCA and 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: Hi everyone! I live in Aiken, SC with my husband, our baby girl, and our pets. We have three 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. Starting in January, I work Monday-Friday 7:45 am to 1 pm. Outside of that, with notice, I can generally be available. I am a mom to a toddler, so I no longer do overnight care in other peoples homes. Exceptions can be made for people in my neighborhood! 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.

Be sure to check out my calendar and book before it’s too late! I meet with my clients before watching their fur babies to make sure that I can meet all of their individualized needs. I’m accommodating to all families and pets.

About: I have worked at a doggy daycare for the past year and a half in my hometown Aiken where I feed, water and give any special needs to dogs and cats. I also have experience pet sitting at peoples homes. I’m currently a full-time student at the University of South Carolina as a biology major. I have availability after all of my classes which end around noon most days. I am available most weekends and most week weekday evenings for any services and I am able to housesit with pets including stay the night at your home. I will feed your dogs and play with your dogs. Take them for walks or any special medicines your pet may have I will be able to give. if there is any special request, I would be happy to talk to you about it.

About: I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to provide more than just pet sitting, and I create a loving, comfortable environment where dogs feel safe, happy, and cared for until their family returns. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I make time each day for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and affection they need. Caring for animals is something I look forward to, and I enjoy creating a safe, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also keep their environment clean and safe, follow any special instructions from the owner, and provide regular updates so owners can feel confident their pets are being well cared for.

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.

About: I have always been around pets I love animals like they were my own and make them a priority when I can care for them! I am a missionary here in Aiken county so all my days look a bit different but very flexible and I often work from home I try to build a safe trust between me and the pet I am entering into their space to care for them and love them

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

About: I am an experienced pet care provider with years of experience having had pets of all kinds since I was born. I have some experience with obedience training and I love playing with and walking dogs. I work as a pet care provider full time and have a very flexible, generous schedule. I can’t think of any better way to spend my time than caring for animals. I spend a lot of time with pets. They are like my children. I pet them, talk with them, play with them, groom and walk them regularly. They are allowed on the sofa and our bed but our dogs do happily sleep in their crates at night. That’s not a necessity for your dog if your dog isn’t kennel trained. We are flexible.

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!

About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I can remember. I have grown up with all sizes and types of dogs and cats as well as other animals such as reptiles. Taking care of animals fills me with a sense of joy and love that you can't get anywhere else. I have a cat of my own that I take care of every single day as well as helping my partner take care of our dog and their 2 cats. I will not be bringing pets to my home, as I do not have a home adequate for pet sitting. Thank you so very much. I have my adorable loving cat that I take care of daily! I make sure he gets exercise, he has water, and his food it good to go. Weekly little box cleanings and bowl cleanings. I make sure that I take care of my pet and others pets by following the rules and guidelines that have been set forth in front of me. Whether that be your basic care for the animal or a person's personal preferences on how they would prefer their pets to be cared for.

“Lily was remarkable. She was always on time. Report cards were always filled out, pictures provided. She always worked with me to change things up on how to give the dogs their walks, etc., with very little notice, which was greatly appreciated. I would recommend her to anyone and we will definitely be a repeat customer.”
