Dog Walking Catawba

About: Since I can remember, my family always had pets and we loved rescuing and caring for animals. The most pets I’ve had at once was 3 dogs, 2 cats, and 3 turtles in my household and I loved it. Now my partner and I have 1 dog and 2 cats and we love our furry babies 💛 My husband and I are always available full time for your pet sitter needs for boarding or just watching your fur babies for a few hours. We have a large yard with plenty of space to run and do their business. We have 1 dog and 2 cats who love friends and company. My dog is trained and loves to have fun! I have crates and plenty of rooms if needed.

“This is the first time I have used DogVacay. I've had my puppy, Zaire, for less then a week when I had to trust in Leslie to stop by and check on him. Leslie came through for my puppy and I in the final hour. I found her the day before I needed her help. We did not have the opportunity to meet in person but we spoke on the phone which helped a LOT. Upon her arrival to my place she made sure to let me know she was there, sent me a picture of Zaire, and even cracked a window for Zaire (at my request). I will definitely use her again. Thanks Leslie.”

About: Hi! I’m Christina, and I’m passionate about animals! We are available for daily stays during your vacation, summer stays, week days, etc. I’ve been pet-sitting for over 10 years, and it’s been a wonderful way for me to combine my love of animals with a flexible schedule. I started when I began working remotely, and I’ve had extensive experience with both in-home pet sitting and dog walking. I know how hard it can be for pets and their owners when they’re apart, so I always strive to make the experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Keeping your pets active and entertained is one of my top priorities, whether it's a fun walk, playtime, or simply providing companionship. I work full-time with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to spend a lot of time with your animals during the day. Plus, my fiancé , Jeremy, assists me with my services.

I'm able to spend the majority of the weekdays with them and can spend all the time on in the evenings and weekends. I'm also available to check in or stay with your animals while you are in town for vacation and need coverage for a few hours. Their safety is my top priority while you are away. I keep a good eye on them and don't like to by physically away from them for long as I know it can be a hard transition sometimes.

About: Pet care is my full time job, so I have open availability! I am also a proud owner of a fully trained German Shepard. I’m open to doing dog walking/playtime, day sitting and overnights! I’m a full time student graduating in criminal justice with bachelor degree this coming summer 2027 who is responsible and dependable. All prices are negotiable depending on the needs. I’ve been a pet lover and caretaker since I was 10 years old. I’m 22 yrs old now and a proud owner of a 5 yr old German Shepherd who is fully trained. I believe all animals deserve one on one attention, care, & Love. I care for pets by making sure their basic needs are met first. Along with assuring each pet is happy and are enjoying their time with me. So much that I want them to be excited with just hearing my name. Whether in my home or at a clients home I follow any specific care instructions, maintain a clean space and provide consistent attentions, love and care to help pets feel safe and happy in my presence.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals and have cared for dogs, cats, and even bunnies throughout my life. I worked with dogs with all types of personalities at a dog daycare. I played with them, fed them and cleaned their kennels. I volunteered with guide-dog organizations, helping socialize puppies in training, and I’ve looked after pets of all ages and needs. I also cared for my own senior dog when she had cancer, giving her daily medicine and making sure she felt comfortable and loved. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I’m very flexible and make time each day for check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I plan my schedule around my visits so each pet gets consistent, reliable care. I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by following their normal routines and any instructions you provide. I take care to keep doors secure, clean up after them, and monitor their behavior closely. I treat every home with respect and every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I give my own.

About: My mom got me my first dog when I was 10 years old, and it was from then on that I promised to take care of him the best way I knew how. I have experience administering medication (in pill form, liquid, and gel) to both dogs and cats, even when they don’t want to take it. I have also personally trained my dog to sit, lie down, high five, and on accident, I taught him to get up on his hind legs and beg with his front paws. If there is any special care that your animal needs, I would be more than happy to quickly and efficiently learn and adapt to care for your animal the way they deserve. I am currently job searching, so I will be free almost every weekday with exception for surprise obligations that my family often come to me with. I am not available on the weekends, including friday for various extraneous responsibilities. When I first meet an animal, I get down to their level and extend my hand just enough to offer it as an option for them to investigate, but not enough to shove it it their face. I wait until the dog or cat engages with me before I try to pet them on my own to ensure that they feel comfortable and safe. If your animal has separation anxiety, I would be more than happy to comfort them with calming words and gentle hands for pets and snuggles. I will only feed or give your animal a treat if I am told to do so or given the okay beforehand as I do not want to over feed them or give them a treat you have bought without consent.
