Dog Walking Bookman

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep, hands-on experience with animals and a genuine commitment to their well being. I don’t just care for pet, I understand them. I own a dog who i’ve had since a puppy, i have also owned a horse who i cared for daily, and even trained my grandmother’s dog, giving me a diverse range of experience with different animal personalities and needs. I’m also currently pursuing a degree in animal behavior, which means I bring both real world experience and formal education to every pet I care for. Your pet isn’t just in good hands, they’re in knowledgeable, compassionate hands. ill be able to take care of your fur baby up to 5 days a week depending on time because of my riding lessons i have twice a week. As a dedicated pet care provider, I treat every pet as if they were my own—offering love, attention, and personalized care in a safe and nurturing environment. I focus on comfort, consistency, and trust. Each walk is tailored to your dog’s energy level and personality. I prioritize safety, using secure leashes, avoiding high-stress situations, and always cleaning up after your pet. I aim to give your dog both physical exercise and mental stimulation.

“Samira has been a jewel! She is reliable and just an awesome person. Bentley loves her and we will miss her dearly! Thank you Samira for being consistently there for Bentley! You rock!!!”

“The best dog sitter I have ever had! My dog immediately loved her. She even got my dog to walk when she was scared by loud fireworks. I highly recommend Lakotah and hope to book her again in the future.”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs from a young age, I trained hunting dogs growing up, and not surprisingly, I have always loved animals more than most people. While in middle and high school, I would pet sit for several family friends and neighbors. I have had several careers working with different animals and had a small career as a professional corporate dog trainer for about 2 years. I have an abundance of knowledge about dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, small animals, and aquatic life and I always keep emergency kitten and puppy food in my car for any strays that I come across. I am used to dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and personalities. I have kenneling, medicating, and restraint experience and I am an AKC certified dog trainer. I work with Pawmetto Lifeline Friday - Sunday 7am - 9pm, other than that, I have a pretty open schedule. Let me know what you need and I will get back to you as soon as I can😋 While in your home, I will provide your pet with all the love and attention they lovingly deserve while you're unable to be there. As long as it's specified for their health and safety, I will be happy to oblige!

About: My 1st Drop-In visit is free for multiple visits, just ask! While taking care of multiple pets in my household growing up and dogsitting for friends and family, I know the amount of care and love a dog needs to sustain a healthy and happy life. I like to stay physically active so walking, playing in the yard, or going to the park isn't a problem. I'm currently working part-time, so I do have time to spare for your pets! I am available mainly on the weekends, but during the week I am usually free for pet care/drop off/pick up. I have a fenced yard and a walking trail in my neighborhood for anytime the pups need to go out. I can keep your dog crated or let them roam free around the majority of the house if I am not home. I am available to feed and water your pets in the morning, afternoon, and evening if need be.

About: I grew up with two dogs and two cats. I now own two cats of my own and they are my world. I am certified in animal care through the CAT Center. There I learned to groom and care for many different kinds of animals. I am home for the summer trying to make some money before I move to florida for school. My schedule is pretty much completely open. At home my cats eat at 8am and 8pm I go back and forth between dry and wet food. I clean the litter once a day and completely change it once a week. I play with them as much as I can and I’m always bringing them new toys. I care for all animals like they’re my own.

“Took great care of my crazy girls while we went on vacation with our newborn!! Dogs really seemed to enjoy her presence and was very nice to not have to worry about them”

“Angela has been a great addition to my dog’s daily routine. She has always shown up on time and taken Duke for his mile long outing. She obviously cares deeply for animals. If you hire her, your furry friend will be well taken care of.”

“Caroline took great care of my baby Parker today when she came by to walk him!”

About: I love animals and know the feeling of going away and worrying about your pet and if they are happy and loved. Finding that person who you feel so confident they are loving your pet as you do, is priceless. I could be this person for you. Kennels are like daycares. They will provide the necessities and certainly care but pure volume and time doesn’t allow them to give the love like a special nanny would who is in your home. I am also a cat lover and would love to take care of your cats too. I will gladly stay in your home as well if preferred. Please consider me I work a full time job in healthcare Monday - Thur and half day on Fridays most often. If you live close to my work ( West Columbia) I can check on your pet at lunch time. I am available most weekends. I try to always keep my calendar updated so you can see my availability. I live alone so your pet would get undivided attention and love. I will cover my furniture so they can cuddle with me , as well as sleeping , if they are used to that. I will want to learn about your pet and their likes and dislikes.

“She has been amazing walking Remi! Very understanding and willing to go the extra mile.”

About: I have taken care of dogs for personal experience, family members, and friends for years. It was my duties to bathe them, feed them, walk them, and even cater to them. They have such a special place in my heart, and I am always willing to go above and beyond for them! Im a college student with a major in nursing! Im currently unavailable on Tuesdays and Thursdays until my next semester. Although, as of right now im available anytime on Mondays, Wednesdays, and the Weekends! In my home I care for pets by being with them and supervising them full time, we have a dog park in my apartment complex and a sand area for them to play in if it’s okay! In the clients home I will care for the pets however they suggest but will always make sure the pet is safe and well taken care of, fed, and walked!

About: My home has always had pets and I love to care for them. I currently live in a home that is on 1/3 of an acre in a neighborhood near Irmo, SC. Although the yard is very large, it is not fenced in but a huge playground for my two dogs. I have a 2 year old beagle (Cooper) who is quiet and loving and a high energy 1 year old Australian Shepard (Ashley). They are named after the Cooper and Ashley Rivers in Charleston, SC. I spend all day with my dogs as I am a stay at home dog dad for now. I take my dogs on frequent walks on leash and very much enjoy them. They are happy dogs and they love other dogs to play with. I am a stay at home dog dad so caring for my pets is simply a part of my every day life. We have a quiet home with little if any stress and a great deal of love and happiness. My dogs are well disciplined dogs, but have free run of the house and yard. When they need to be outside they are outside and when they are inside, they have comfort and care. In your home, I would care for your pets as if they are my own.

About: I have a Pekingese who is almost 20 years old and a Great Dane that is almost 9! Let me love your animals like they are my own ❤️ I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I will send all the pictures/videos you want of your furbaby(s). Work entirely remote and am home with my babies all day. I am entirely flexible to meet the needs of any client circumstance. How can I help? I have a fully fenced in backyard but am always outside with the pups playing. If it’s a rainy day, we have plenty of room inside for shenanigans.

About: I've been providing large animal care for over eight years. I have cared for many dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. I currently have a horse of my own, as well as a three year old bearded dragon. I also had my own chickens for over ten years. Pet care brings me great joy, and I love getting to know the fur babies that I am lucky enough to care for. I am a college student, but am now on summer break. I currently have extensive availability, and am flexible with dates and times. I will still be available once classes begin, but with changes depending on my schedule. I am happy to provide care and attention to pets who are highly social, but also work well with those who prefer a bit of distance or may be more uncomfortable around strangers. I take slow steps to gain the trust of new animals, and make sure they can clearly understand my intentions in order to prevent startling them. I tend to ask owners plently of questions to be sure the animal's specific needs are met to the best of my ability. I am happy to send plently of pictures and updates throughout my time caring for your critters!

About: I have been a pet owner all of my life and there is a special joy and comfort that only a dog or cat can give us! I think it is important for our pets to get daily exercise to keep them happy and healthy. I'm an avid fitness enthusiast and I love all animals so getting your dog out of the house for daily walks is the perfect fit for both me and your furry friend! It's a great way for your dog to release that playful energy while strengthening their health as well. Playtime is also important in keeping our pets happy and friendly! Getting out and throwing balls, frisbees, sticks, etc is one of my favorite things to do with my own dogs and it's another great form of exercise for your pup! All animals are precious and deserve all the love and care that they can get and I consider it a privilege for me to help you provide that for your furry family member!! I'm currently volunteering part-time which allows me a more flexible schedule which in turn makes it easier to accommodate to the scheduling needs of my Rover clients!! Every one of our beloved pets are different with wonderful, unique personalities of their own! I always offer and recommend a meet and greet to get to know you & your fuzzy friends & vise versa...as well a to taylor each visit to your pet's unique individual needs! (Eg, important medical information, personality quirks or anxites, etc) My goal is to create a dream vacation experience for your furry loved one; Full of playful fun & exercise; cuddles & belly rubs; custom meal plans with your choice of treats & toys to their liking & potty breaks galore! I love & care for each of your furry family members as If they are my own, & as a pet parent myself, I know the importance of having peace of mind by trusting that they are safe and in good hands when you are away! It is my promise that by the end of every visit, walk, overnight stay, etc....that your pet will feel Happy, Healthy, Full, Loved, & worn out from Fun!!!!!

“Samantha has been amazing so far. She has been very communicative and sends plenty of pictures of our dog during their outings. Always on time and doesn’t leave a trace after she drops him off other than adding water to his bowl which we appreciate. She does a great job of checking for accidents and other things that may be out of place during the visit and reports back if anything is found. We definitely plan to continue using her services for as long as she allows us.”

About: I have grown up with and taken care of dogs/cat/other furry creatures my whole life. I am excited to help care for yours. I have also handled dogs with various behaviors/needs. I currently work full-time as a dietitian at a hospital but am usually pretty free on the weekends and I get off at a decent time so I am able to do an evening walk or drop in on your fur baby in the evening as well if needed! My dog, Axel, is very spoiled as he sleeps in bed with us and he gets daily cuddles. He enjoys going outside so he gets plenty of walks when it is not too hot out but on the minimum, he walks twice a day every day. I will care for your animal as if they were my own and will spoil them as much as you allow me to!
