Dog Walkers in Cashiers, NC

About: I have been a pet lover my entire life. I was raised in a home where we had Ferrets, Hamsters, a Pet Skunk, a Squirrel named Boomer, as well as Dogs and Cats ... I am very loving and warm to animals and think that animals are more than pets ..they are family members. I have always been a fur mom and would be honored to help you provide the care you would want for your fur baby. Your fur baby will be cuddled, scratched, played with, and loved as if they were my own in your absence. I service Transylvania County, Jackson County and Macon County including Lake Toxaway as well as the Highlands-Cashiers area. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I am prompt and dependable and will not disappoint you or your pet. Your pets health and well being is of upmost importance to me and I will care for them as if they were my own. I am available to house sit in your home while you are away so they may stay on their normal routine. I have outstanding reviews and can provide additional references as well if needed. I water plants, can care for “off season” homes and ensure your home is safe and secure while you are away.

About: I offer calm, reliable care for both dogs and cats, tailoring my approach to each pet’s personality, routine, and needs. I have experience with energetic pets who benefit from structured exercise and enrichment, as well as senior pets who need a slower pace, patience, and gentle support. I’m also comfortable supporting anxious pets and maintaining familiar routines while their owners are away. I can administer basic medications, follow detailed care instructions, and maintain consistency with feeding, walks, litter care, and enrichment. I also have experience house sitting in a variety of homes and am comfortable maintaining discretion, care, and respect in each space as if it were my own. What sets me apart is my attentiveness and communication—I provide consistent updates so you always feel connected and reassured while you’re away. As a pet owner who has used Rover myself, I understand the importance of reliability, clear communication, and thoughtful photo updates in creating peace of mind while you’re traveling. I offer full availability throughout the week for pet care, including weekdays, weekends, and overnight stays, allowing me to provide consistent, attentive care for each booking. I can accommodate a wide range of routines and needs and prioritize reliability and clear communication for every stay. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where I prioritize maintaining each pet’s familiar routine and environment to reduce stress and ensure comfort. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication needs, and household guidelines. I approach each home with respect and care and ensure the space is left clean, organized, and well-maintained. I’m mindful of safety at all times, including secure leash handling on walks, careful attention to doors and entry points, and ongoing awareness of each pet’s behavior and needs. My goal is to provide a calm, consistent presence so pets feel secure and well cared for in their own environment while owners are away.

About: A medium dog mommy almost my whole life. If your dog ain't happy, you're not happy, so I will deliver hugs and pets when you want to but can't. I am fit and can take brisk walks, heat not withstanding. I am conscientious, timely, and will work hard to over deliver on your expectations! We have a dog, cat, and ball python. Walks and check-ins are just the start. Need to coordinate something extra once we know each other? Just ask. Looking forward to meeting you and your bff! I enjoy meeting new people and pets and helping both out. I'll treat your animals just as they are my very own, so you'll have no worries while you're away. Your instructions will be reviewed prior to departure and what is agreed upon will be followed to the letter. I want everyone to be comfortable with their own routine and environments.

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’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.

“You guys were awesome! Thank you!!”

About: Hello, my name is Nick. I have been working with dogs for a long time and it is one of my passions. I have two dogs of my own one named Nala whose breeds we don’t know but she is a sweetheart who loves everyone and another named Stewy, he is an Australian Shepherd and Husky mix and he also loves socializing with other dogs. I also have experience volunteering at a local shelter. I enjoy getting to meet and interact with new dogs and your dog will be in great hands! Pet care is a regular part of my daily and weekly routines. I have my own dogs who love socializing with other pups. I already spend much time everyday taking care of my dog and will provide the same level of care to your pet as I would mine! We have separate rooms we can put our dogs in if your pup would rather enjoy some alone time! I have a balcony which is safe and enclosed which the dogs will always have access to as well as access to a fenced in dog park. He is very sweet and playful and is not aggressive whatsoever!

“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.
