“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: 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.
“Leah has been walking my dog for a few weeks now and my dog loves her! She is always attentive, responsive, and on time. Getting updates about my pup from Leah is the best part of my workday! She always makes sure that she does all of her business and has fresh water which is so helpful with the long hours I work. Thank you Leah!”
About: I have a love for all animals since I can remember. Especially dogs. 🐾 Having had dogs my entire life and getting my own girl named bella I rescued at 3 months old who had a beautiful long life passing a year ago. I know how to handle multiple dogs at once as i’ve watched 6 animals all together cats and dogs. I am very experienced in this. I have tended to medical needs, bathing, extra care for scared animals, walks with multiple dogs and more. I really am a natural caretaker to fur babies. I worked at a holistic pet store for a while and learned much about dog healthcare which benefited my dogs and other people's dogs lives I was able to give advice to. Walks, outside time, & play time is essential for your pup. And of course, treats if provided! I will go over each dogs needs prior to watching. I will treat your dog like my own and they will get immense love staying with me and bella. I usually also offer energy healing & massage if I notice the pup over can benefit. I currently work from home so am open and available to care for your fur baby and will be with them all the time! They will get so much care and love. I will be able to spend time with them play with them all day, walk them and make sure they eat on time. Really, they will be with me all the time. I set up a cozy space for everyone for sleeping time. They can also sun bath in our patio over looking beautiful pine trees.
“Amy was.very friendly and Bridget took to her immediately. We used her for a few days while in the Smokies vacationing. She was reliable and trustworthy. I would highly recommend Amy to watch your dog.”
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 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. I am a non-smoker and very active with walking/hikes and pickleball. I am retired now for 5 years and spend my day actively with hike/bikes/pickleball to name a few activities. I am available most days with proper notice. I do not have a fenced yard but do have a 7-year-old dog named Dori who gets her exercise walking daily. If you pup likes fenced in yards caring for your dog would be better at your home.
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats and hamsters for a couple of years first was my family dog, then my cat in college and roommate’s hamster I only work 2-3 days out of the week for only 2 hours and I am free weekends. Which gives me enough time to care for your pets and spend time with them. I can also care for smaller pets like fish or hamsters if needed. In my home,which is my dorm, I feed my cat twice a day and make sure his water bowl is always full and clean out his litter box at the beginning of each day. In case of a fire I grab my cat with his emergency bag and I have also helped my roommate get her hamster out during a fire drill. I always make sure to spend time playing with them as well. For clients I make sure to care for their pets as I would want anyone else to care for mine; providing the food as asked by the client and cleaning after the pet as asked which includes cleaning the litter box or going for walks and playing with the pets.
“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 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.
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 taken care of dogs my whole life and currently have a sweet pug puppy named Willow. I love taking dogs on walks, giving them playtime, potty breaks, snuggles, and lots of attention. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, kindness, and positive reinforcement. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or an overnight stay, your pup will feel safe, happy and deeply loved in my care I work from home as an artist and am almost always here, so your dog will get consistent walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles throughout the day. They won’t be left alone except for quick errands. 🐾 My home is very dog-friendly with a fully fenced in yard, tons of toys, comfy dog beds, and lots of space to relax. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and in my bed (just like my own pups). I treat every dog like part of the family — with lots of love, patience, and positive reinforcement. 🐾
“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.”

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.
