Dog Walking Beaverdam

About: I have raised a puppy from 7 weeks old to 3.5 years old, and I also took care of my childhood 15 year old senior chocolate lab, giving me firsthand experience with the full spectrum of dog ages. I have spent time training my own dogs and learning about different training techniques, which I genuinely enjoy. My experience includes working with reactive dogs, and I believe in supporting owners without judgment. I am happy to work alongside them to manage and support pets' behavior. Additionally, I have experience administering medication to dogs, so I am comfortable and capable of handling any special medical needs your pet may have. My commitment to providing attentive, personalized care ensures that your pet's well-being and happiness are my top priorities! Use my promo code to get $20 off your first booking! Linked here: https://www.rover.com/sit/inesf75094 OR use the Promo Code: INESF75094 I am currently working remotely, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available weekdays and weekends to walk dogs, do overnight stays, or drop in. I care for pets in my client's homes with the utmost dedication and attention to their individual needs. I have experience with my family dog of 15 years, a puppy I rescued and gave to my sister, and a dog I rescued from the streets who has become the light of my life. I have walked and cared for all three by taking them on regular walks, adventures, and hikes, always advocating for their space and listening to their cues. I ensure they are fed high-quality food and treats and take them to the vet as needed. I also prioritize their safety and comfort by taking them out early in the morning and late at night to avoid the heat. My approach is rooted in love and respect, and I always aim to create a nurturing environment where they feel happy and secure.

“Savanah has been great with our three pups! She is confident, friendly, and reliable. She easily takes care of our elderly dog’s needs, as well as our higher energy/younger ones. Her communication is also excellent. I felt comfortable leaving my babies with her right away. We’re so glad we found her.”

“Chanelle is thoughtful with my dog's special needs (and my anxiety!), is highly communicative, and my dog absolutely loves her.”

“Alexis was absolutely fantastic with Lula! Lula clearly had a great time with her. Had a great walk, play time and just spent time with her. From the moment she stepped into my apartment, Lula instantly took to her. I also have two cats who warned right up to her as well. Would never be able to recommend her enough to anyone who needs a pet sitter/walker.”

“I highly recommend Laina. I hired her to take and pickup Peace at daycare. Peace has anxiety and Laina was very gentle with him. She has patience, compassion and very understanding…..which is what I need when it comes to Peace. Thank you Laina! 😊👏😊👏😊👏👏👏👏❤️”

“Thanks so much for walking Loki while I was out of town. It was such a peace of mind to know she was getting some fresh air and exercise! I really appreciate you and look forward to working with you again.”

About: I've grown up with several cats. My best friend and the love of my life is a tabby cat I've had since I was 12 years old. I didn't have a dog growing up but I frequently cared for my neighbors Great Pyrenees. My first dog as an adult was a rescue coonhound mix and my current dog is a purebred Redbone Coonhound. I live in an apartment with 2 cats and a dog. I work part time at Food Lion, but I'm wanting to be a full-time pet sitter. Humans are too complicated for me. Plus it gives me the opportunity to spend more time with my dog! I live in an apartment but I'm very active. I utilize all the trails and parks in the area and I bring along my buddy Kashmir, my Redbone Coonhound puppy who loves other dogs!

“My puppies are so happy and chill after their walks with Alexis. Alexis sends me the route, distance, and a pic. Pups like her so much they wait for her on her days off! So glad I did this for us.”

About: I've been a dog lover and owner for more than 25 years and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. My first two dogs lived to be 16 years old, giving me firsthand experience with the patience, attention, and extra care senior dogs often need. Today, I share my life with Bailey Love, my 5½-year-old rescue pup and adventure buddy. We spend lots of time exploring the trails and woods around Asheville, and it's where he's happiest. Bailey is friendly, well-trained, and loves making new friends...both human and canine. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply curling up for a nap, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I treat every dog as family and will provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. Administering meds will be an additional $10-$20, depending on meds and frequency. ***For overnight stays, Bailey would be with me - he is great with cats; he has grown up in a house with 3+ cats and litters of kittens and pups.*** I own my own business and teach yoga, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. You'll often find me on the trails with my dog, Bailey Love, exploring the woods and soaking up nature. If your dog enjoys walks, hikes, sniffing every leaf, and outdoor adventures, we'll have a wonderful time together! For pets who prefer a slower pace, I'm equally happy providing cuddles, companionship, and calm care at home. 🐾💜 Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. If your pet stays in my home, they will be treated like family. While I do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised. Dogs can enjoy walks in my neighborhood, adventures on local trails, or relaxing time outside on a lead if they enjoy being outdoors. When caring for pets in your home, I will treat your space with the same respect and care I give my own. I understand the trust involved in welcoming someone into your home and caring for a beloved family member. For drop-in visits, I often have the flexibility to stay a little longer when schedules allow. As a business owner, I can sometimes bring my laptop and work from your home while spending extra time with your pet, offering additional companionship, playtime, cuddles, and comfort while you're away. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, loved, and as relaxed as possible until you're back home.

“Cassandra was great. I can tell that she really loves pets. My dog Shiloh loved her!”

About: i don't have a lot of experience in dog care other than taking care of friends dogs or the last few years, but i love being around dogs and really care about getting them out and giving them the exercise and social experiences they need. I love to take dogs our on runs and give them social opportunities with other dogs. I love animals and would love to be given the opportunity to love yours. The majority of my work is all open ended and very flexible. I can work pet care into all aspects of my life. There isn’t a lot that i’m doing currently that can take my attention away from your pets. I will not be bringing any pets to my house, but i will come to yours and do over night stays, extended stays, or walk your dogs if you will be out for more than 4 hours at a time. I will make sure your dogs and cats get clean fresh water and fed by whatever times you wish. i will keep the liter box clean and the yard clean as well.

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: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for all kinds of dogs and cats, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care. I’m comfortable with large breeds, shy or anxious dogs, and managing multiple pets at once. I’ve also worked on basic puppy training like leash walking and simple commands, so I can reinforce good habits during walks or visits. I’m calm, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals, which helps pets feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own, paying close attention to their individual needs, routines, and personalities. I work early mornings at a bakery, so I’m available most afternoons and evenings throughout the week. My schedule can vary slightly, but I’m flexible, easy to reach, and can usually confirm timing at least a day in advance! While doing dog walks and drop-ins, I make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for, and that all of their needs are met while you’re away. I treat every pet with patience, love, and attention, and I also make sure your home is respected and taken care of during visits. I’m always open to communication, so you can easily get in touch with me while I’m with your pet, and I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you feel reassured and connected the whole time.

About: What sets me apart as an exceptional sitter is my unique ability to handle challenging situations. Having nurtured a rescue who struggled with trust, I understand the patience and empathy required for such cases. Moreover, my experience transitioning from Asheville to Marion equips me with diverse skills adaptable to various environments. I excel in not only basic care but also in providing specialized attention tailored to individual needs, be it working with energetic puppies or ensuring the comfort of senior animals. Given my current availability, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine. With a flexible schedule, I can ensure ample time for both your dog and cat, catering to their individual needs. My commitment to structured activities and routines guarantees a stable and enriching environment for your pets. In both my home and yours, pet safety and comfort are paramount. At my place, a secluded yard and an invisible fence guarantee a secure outdoor environment for playful activities. In your home, I prioritize creating a familiar setting, maintaining routines, and implementing any necessary safety measures, ensuring your pets feel at ease and well-cared for.

“Jared is so patient with my energetic dog, he has so much fun with him and comes home tired!”

About: Hi! I'm an experienced caregiver and sitter, and have cared for both dogs and cats of different ages, breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I've cared for up to three pets at one time, have cared for pets with medical issues, and I'm comfortable administering medication. I'm a 5-star rated sitter on Trusted Housesitters, and would be happy to provide those reviews and references! I consider myself affectionate, attentive, dependable, and I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I'm always happy to give them lots of cuddles, let them sleep in the bed with me, and of course give them time to warm up if needed. I'm clean, neat, a non-smoker, fully vaccinated, and leave homes as I've found them. I have a green thumb as well and love plants, so I'm happy to help with any plant or garden care as well while you're away as well. My schedule is typically flexible, so I'm able to accommodate most pet care arrangements. I’m able to take dogs for walks, let outdoor cats in/out and dogs in/out for potty breaks, and do feedings at different points throughout the day. And I always make time for cuddles!! As a visiting pet-sitter in your home, I follow instructions carefully and ensure that the wellbeing of the pet(s) are first priority. I ensure that pets always have their necessary food and water, get their potty breaks in, and have human time too with attention and cuddles. As a dog walker, I make an effort to familiarize myself with the area and neighborhood, make sure we're on safe routes, and always pick up after them. As a caregiver, I'm communicative and reliable when it comes to booking and scheduling, and as a guest in your home I'm clean, organized, and conscious of common spaces and noise if you're working from home. I've petsit both locally and places I've traveled and I've cared for pets in urban, rural, and suburban setting, so I'm familiar with the differences that come with each.

About: Animals are family. I have a good understanding of animals' emotions, and have grown up with many animals of all types, and have cared for, fostered, and owned many animals. I am able to respond quickly and can check in on your animals to provide food, water, and walk/run them. I live in a West Asheville with great roads to walk along. Your loved pet is always allowed to cuddle on the bed. I work from home so I will always be there for your pet. And the animals will get a bathroom break every 0- 2 hours as needed in the fenced in yard. Along with constant food and water in their bowls (or on a preferred feeding schedule), I will provide loving care to your animals and will give them everything they need to be happy and healthy until your back home. I also have a great phone plan so I can always send pictures and videos to update you on your pet. Long walks or runs are always a great way to calm a pet down who misses their families. And I will make sure that they feel calm, safe, and loved while you are away. They will return overjoyed that you are home, and excited to tell you about all of the fun adventures they have had while you were away. I will exceed expectations with care for your pet and will jump through hoops to make sure that whatever your pet loves is what we do frequently. I am work from home so I have plenty of time to give your pet my undivided attention. Anytime works for me and I am always able to drop in on your pet. This is also a no-smoking or drug area. Your animal will be around the clock cared for and loved. I will also closely monitor your pet's behavior to make sure they are healthy and happy. And will communicate any concerns or questions with the owners.

“My dog has a lot of separation anxiety, and Kristen was amazing with her. The communication, photos, and updates made such a difference, and I felt completely at ease knowing Rosie and Pete were loved and cared for. They’re my babies, and I’m so thankful to have found someone who understands that. Thank you!”

“Awesome job very reliable and flexible.”
