Dog Walking Barclay Downs

“Linda was so helpful and flexible for this last minute walk request. She was timely and had great communication! Will certainly be using her again in the future. :)”

About: Growing up in a dog-centric household, I learned from a young age how to work with puppies and dogs of all ages. I’ve house-sat and watched family and friend’s dogs consistently over the last 10 years, all while doing volunteer work at the local animal shelter. Many times I’ve had dog owners tell me that their dogs don’t usually like strangers, but they feel at-ease with me. I have a lot of experience reading and understanding canine body language, so your pets are in good hands. I currently work full-time, but am able to work remotely when needed. Currently, Thursday-Sundays would work best for me if you need any housesitting or animal care services including walking or bathroom, but have my calendar open for other days/times. I’m very attentive to animal safety when dealing with pets. Unless otherwise instructed, I will keep pets leashed and away from other dogs. Additionally, I will strictly adhere to any nutritional requirements and understand your pet’s current dietary or medicinal needs before working with your pet. Pets have always been family to me, and the treatment of your dog will be held to my same standard.

“Weiying was awesome walking my pup! They did 30 min walks each day with good reporting on bathroom use and pictures. My pup is shy but warmed up quickly with Weiying! Great communication”

About: I have always had a dog growing up but rescued my own dog, almost 7 years ago and trained him from 1 month old. The experience intensified my love for dogs and training them! I am used to going on walks, potty training, and feeding schedules as well as accommodating quirks (my guy can be weird so I get it lol). I work full time from home so as long as I have notice of when I am needed it should work seamlessly in my life. If pet sitting at your home I want to keep your dog as comfortable and on routine as possible. I am well versed in all sorts of quirks so just let me know and I can adapt to whatever your pet needs. I will be diligent about following instructions and will give lots of attention and affection while you are away.

“Thanks so much for coming to hang out with Hubcap on such short notice! He had a great time and cannot wait to play and walk again at the next visit!”

About: I’m experienced with different dog breeds, and ages. I’m also a foster for Mecklenburg County Animal Care & Control and Union County Humane Society. Have fostered week old puppies to senior dogs and cats! I am currently in between jobs so I can work around any schedule! I am definitely a morning person but don’t have any preference time wise. I have been a foster for different shelters where I have learned how to take care of different breeds and work with their needs! I love going on walks and having play time with pets

“Nicole did a fantastic job as a dog walker. She was very engaged with updates and put us at ease while we were away. Would recommend!!”

About: As a dependable and attentive pet sitter, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I pride myself on providing personalized care, whether that means sticking to your pet’s routine, administering medication, maintaining training consistency, or making sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m highly organized, communicative, and understand that trust and peace of mind are just as important for pet parents as they are for their pets. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently in a fully remote position, so I am very flexible to your schedule and needs. I am able to house sit, stop by during the day, and take plenty of walk and play breaks with your pet! As a cat owner myself, I understand the importance of routine, comfort, and patience. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal schedule for feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, and any special care needs. I take time to learn each cat’s personality and provide the attention they need, while keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind.

“Samantha was able to walk Gemma last minute at lunch for a few days this past week. She was patient and kind with Gemma when she was very nervous at first. She kept me updated and sent photos. Would absolutely hire again. Great dog walker! Thank you !”

“Brea's professionalism and work ethic is 5-star! She was prompt and kind to our fur family. I will be more than happy if she will accept more work from me!”

About: I've been around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets. Growing up, I helped care for our family dogs, a Golden Retriever named Miley, followed by Henry and a beagle terrier mix Tippy. I did feeding, walks, playtime, and daily care. I also had two guinea pigs, which taught me the importance of consistency and attention to detail when caring for pets. Over the years, I've also helped friends and family with pet sitting, feeding, walking, and checking in on their pets while they were away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members as if they were their own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a cat owner, I spend time each day feeding, playing with, and caring for my cat, as well as keeping her environment clean and comfortable. I also enjoy being active and getting outside, so dog walks fit easily into my schedule. I work remotely, which gives me flexibility and allows me to provide attentive care, check-ins, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner's instructions and routines. In a client's home, I make sure pets stay comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and lots of attention and affection. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter approach, I'm happy to adapt to their individual personality and needs.

About: I am a college athlete, and can be ready for any kind of walk- regardless of the mileage! I’m reliable, active, and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention, and care while keeping you updated so you know they’re happy and in good hands. Because I am only home from school for a selected time, I am unemployed and can walk dogs at any time during the week currently! I will always treat your home and pet with care and respect. I’ll follow your instructions closely, make sure your dog is safe on every walk, provide plenty of attention, and send updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Megan is truly the best. She treats Mango as if he was her own. I always brag about her to friends and how much training Mango has learned from her. Thank you for everything.”

“Dawn did a wonderful job with our puppy!”

“Kim is reliable, punctual, and great with Banks! She comes twice a week to walk our dog and is always on time or early, communicates timely, and even offered to come meet us and Banks prior to establishing a recurring walk. Highly recommend!”

Becca S.

“Adam did a great job walking Cozy and I really appreciated that he came for a meet and greet and was willing to work with us to shift some of her bad habits. We’re excited to keep working with him and would recommend him to others!”

“Sam is amazing & does so great with Kobe. He’s always ready for a nap after one of their walks.”

About: I have experience spanning back to 2015 volunteering at animal shelters taking care of many different dogs. I raised and trained my own Cattle dog/Chihuahua mix with behavioral issues to be a wonderful family dog today. I have moved out and am looking to assist others with their dogs in anyway I can! I am allergic to cats so unfortunately that is a service I cannot offer. I look forward to hearing from you and your furry friend! On my available week days I work from home and am able to supervise and play with your furry friend during those hours! I enjoy caring for dogs and raised and trained my own growing up. My apartment building is very dog friendly and provides a fences in play yard as well as a dog cafe to spend time. I'm available to walk three times a day and potty/feed/give medication whenever necessary. My roommate is a girl around my age who loves animals as well. I am open to schedule adjustments based around your dogs needs. I plan to work mostly on walking dogs, however, while occasionally pet sitting I plan to create a very trusting and comfortable environment to let your dog be themselves. I have years of shelter experience and am good at adjusting to different dogs needs. Just like people, every dog is different and I love to let them go at their own pace!

“Eva is so wonderful with my big girl. Not only does she walk her but she loves on her like her own. I think Sister misses her this morning. I would recommend with absolutely no reservation. She’s the best. Jan Fries”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. My family always had 3 dogs and 2 cats growing up, and my parents raised me to treat my animals like my siblings. (My parents preferred our animals over us kids). In college, I fostered a total of 35 dogs and 7 cats over the course of 3 years. I will treat your fur baby with the upmost respect and provide them with the most loving care, as if they were my own. Because of my experience with fostering animals, I am capable of taking care of cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and health conditions. My favorite types of pets are the ones who LOVE attention. I love cuddling up and playing with them at all times. If you want a pet sitter who will show your pet unconditional love, I am the perfect sitter for you! I’m currently working full time as a medical office manager, 9am to 5pm Monday through Friday. I can take care of your pet in the morning and evenings, and any time during Saturday and Sunday I care for my pets by providing the upmost respect and love. I adjust to however your pet prefers to be cared for. If your pet loves attention and has a lot of enegry, I will be the most energetic and loving person they know! But, if they prefer a more quiet and reserved care provider, I absolutely respect their boundaries and will love them from a far.
