About: There's nothing more enjoyable than going on an adventure with your four-legged bestie. Whether you want an easy stroll around the neighborhood or a hike on a local dog-friendly trail, I'm your dog walker. I've been a pet parent since the age of 4 - both cats and dogs - and currently have 3 rescue dogs - Stella Blue, Nutter Butter, and Ruby Sue. I owned a very successful dog walking company before moving to North Carolina. I also worked for PetSmart as a dog trainer, and I'm certified in dog CPR. I work primarily from home as a freelance writer, so my availability is rather flexible. But to ensure I meet the needs of all my clients, a little bit of notice when booking visits would be appreciated. I will give your doggies so many belly rubs, ear scratches, and cuddles that (hopefully) they won't miss you too much while you're out. I treat every client's dog as if it were my own fur baby.
“Cheyenne was so incredibly patient and responsive! We were in from out of town and wanted someone to check in on our dog while we were hiking in the park. Our dog was in great hands and whenever we are back in the area, we’ll definitely reach out. Couldn’t recommend Cheyenne more!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old. As soon as I was trusted with the responsibility, I was all in. Dogs have been a joyful and consistent part of my life ever since. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies who need structure and patience to senior dogs who benefit from a slower pace and extra gentleness. I understand how important routine, positive reinforcement, and consistency are for helping dogs feel safe and secure. As a healthcare worker, I bring an added level of attentiveness, responsibility, and calm patience to the dogs in my care. I’m detail-oriented, observant, and committed to making sure each dog’s physical and emotional needs are met. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” dogs - I truly engage with them. Whether that’s structured walks, playtime to burn energy, or relaxed companionship, I tailor my care to your dog’s unique personality. You can expect dependable communication, photo updates, and a sitter who genuinely enjoys every tail wag along the way. 🐾 My job has me working three days a week, which means the other four days I’m fully available and dedicated to caring for pups! On my off days, I have flexible availability for walks and drop-ins. Even on my working days, I’m organized and intentional with my schedule, and I only accept bookings I know I can give proper time and attention to. I believe dogs deserve unhurried, dependable care - not just a quick stop-in. My goal is to provide consistency, communication, and peace of mind so you can feel confident your dog is well cared for. 🐾 Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to maintaining your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. Familiar environments help dogs feel secure, and I do everything I can to keep that consistency. I’m attentive during walks, mindful of surroundings, and cautious with other dogs and unfamiliar situations. Leashes, doors, gates, and feeding instructions are always double-checked. As a healthcare worker, I’m observant and quick to notice changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. You can trust that I will treat both your dog and your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. Clear communication and photo updates are always part of the experience, so you feel connected and confident while you’re away. 🐾
About: I have always found a love for pets and animals of all kinds. Starting young, family and friends have asked me to watch pets and sometimes even called me the pet whisperer. Being able to hang out with pets is a favorite past time of mine and I love being around them! I am currently a student at Western Carolina University, and I am trying my best to save up to the school years ahead of me. While at school I am always available on weekends, and during the day I am available for drop in up to four time a day. while at my home address, I have an unfenced 2.5 acre property perfect for a lot of playtime, along with a friendly 4 year old Australian shepherd poodle mix to accompany your pets.
About: I have more than 3 decades of experience with pet sitting and dog walking. I am also experienced with many animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, amphibians, other small mammals). I will care for your pet just as if it were my own. I want you to feel safe leaving your pets in my hands. If you need a dependable, kind, animal lover please contact me with your needs. I love meeting new animals. Every animal has a unique personality and I look forward to meeting you and your pet. Thank you. Im available 24/7 for all of your pet care needs. I’d love to take your dog on a walk or a hike or just drop in. Whatever your needs are. I treat each animal with love and kindness. I currently am only available for client homes. I have fostered over 100 cats and love animals of all kinds.
“Maria was great! Communicative, friendly, and reliable, good with dogs. Handled our large skittish but friendly dog very well for a productive walk (and they had never met!). Such a help when we were visiting from out of town but away for the evening. Thank you so much for the good communication and peace of mind.”
About: I have been dog training for the past 5 years slowly growing my business. I love taking care of animals as it is my passion! Message me to learn more about me and my experience! My typical schedule is 8:30-4:30 with most of my availability in the mornings and evenings! This is the most accurate schedule for the 2026 year. I do not have a fenced in yard but I have a nice neighborhood where I can take your dog for plenty of walks and exercise.
“Lillie has been great working with our new dog Archie. She is very patient and gives great updates, which is very helpful when trying to figure out what behaviors we need to work on with him.”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I am a trustworthy retired RN who is looking to spoil your dogs while you are away.

About: I have always had a dog that I could share adventures with. I know the feeling when you are busy with work and need a reliable dog walker or house sitter that will care for your dog just as you would. Now that I have time, I would like to help others with that. I am available to housesit your dog most any weekend and beginning June 1 through August 15th, I am available to house sit most anytime. I have been a teacher for 20 years, so safety is always at the center of each decision. If I were caring for a dog in another family's home, I would be mindful of security, house alarms, locks, and also what the pet could possibly get into inside the home that could be dangerous. I would follow all requests and procedures in the home indicated by the family.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets including cats, dogs, ferrets, snakes, etc for over 10 years now. I love animals dearly and will do anything to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and safe. I work anytime, or any day except Mondays. I I have a part time job so I always have time to stop by in the mornings and afternoons. I love animals big and small furry or scaly claws or paws. They’re the best therapy you could ever have. And of course my favorite animal is cats
“Seth’s interaction with Iris was exactly what we were hoping for. We are looking forward to having him spend future time with her. The training that he has received working with dogs was also a very pleasant surprise.”
About: Hi! I grew up dog sitting for my neighbors, and became the local neighborhood pet sitter within my family’s neighborhood and surrounding areas in my early years. Our family had an amazing Golden Retriever named Gracie. I also had Riley, another Golden in my adult life, as well as been a caretaker for an awesome Pit named Buddy. I’d love to help be a care taker for your animals as it would not only help you to have someone there for them but quite honestly it’d be two fold in terms of a beautiful experience for me to be able to relive some memories of taking care of my own animals. I apologize for the lack of additional photos but feel free to contact me as I’m very punctual, open and honest, and understanding of the responsibility that comes with caring for beloved animals as well as ensuring your residence is safe in your absence. Thank you! I am available for day sitting as well as overnight stays. Right now based on my description I am fully available to be there when needed. I am unable to have any pets at my home, but am well prepared and versed in caring for animals and following any given instructions.
“Allyson was great. She sent loads of pictures of our elderly dog. She obviously had no trouble helping him up and down the ramp, and helping him get up from laying down. He's an old dog (age 17) so needed a little assistance and she was willing and able to do so. She judged what he could handle, as it was warm and he is an old husky, kept in good contact with us during her visits.”
“Sarah was great! Very kind and great communication. Loved seeing all the pictures she took of Enzo on his walk. He always looked so happy! Sad she’s leaving the state for a few months but definitely looking forward to working with her again when she returns.”
About: I always have loved pets! When I was growing up everyone around me wanted me to walk/care/ or watch their dog / pet Because they knew I would exceed their needs and more!

Now that my dad is back on his feet and able to walk the dogs again, we just wanted to share how grateful we are for Cheyenne’s help over the past few weeks. She has been incredibly flexible and easy to work with the entire time. Even this past week, with rainy weather and a puppy who loves puddles, she was willing to adjust her schedule to make things work. That kind of willingness to adapt really made a difference for us. Cheyenne was also good about communicating and keeping us updated, which we appreciated, especially since timing varied a bit day to day, but she kept us informed. Overall, she has been accommodating, responsive, and easy to work with through every change we threw her way, and it gave us real peace of mind knowing our dogs were in good hands. If we ever need a dog walker again, we will definitely be reaching out to Cheyenne.
Cheyenne was so incredibly patient and responsive! We were in from out of town and wanted someone to check in on our dog while we were hiking in the park. Our dog was in great hands and whenever we are back in the area, we’ll definitely reach out. Couldn’t recommend Cheyenne more!
After returning from vacation, we were so glad Cheyenne was available to help again while my dad is still recovering from knee surgery. This week brought a new wrinkle for us since we had just brought home our new rescue (a 25 lb Mountain Feist), and we realized it would be best for everyone if the dogs were walked separately. Cheyenne handled that change without hesitation and was very flexible as we figured out what worked best. Even though she wasn’t able to do a full 60 minutes for each dog, she made the most of the time she had and walked both dogs for 45 minutes each. That kind of flexibility and willingness to adjust really meant a lot to us during a hectic week. Both dogs are doing great with her, and it’s clear she’s comfortable managing different needs and personalities. She’s also been easy to communicate with and dependable throughout. We’ve already hired her again for two more days next week. Her rates are very reasonable, especially considering she’s willing to come out to my parents’ home, which isn’t close to town. That’s been a huge help for our family.
