Dog Walking Catawba

About: I have ample experience caring for animals of all kinds. My family and friends rely on me to care for their pets when they are away, as well as provide them with advice on how to care for said pets on their own. Personally, I have two dogs, four cats, and other types of animals at home. I am currently going into college and hoping to fit pet care into my weekly routine while being a full-time student. Caring for my own animals is a part of my daily routine, so adding a few more will be no problem. I am willing to help in any way I can. I have approximately 2 acres of fenced in yard that any pup would love to play in. Said yard comes with 2 friendly and loving dogs that would love to have a playmate. Water, shelter, and luscious grass to lay in is provided.

“Fallon, was great with the dogs, and was a pleasure to work with.”

About: I grew up with animals in my house dogs and cats. I also lived in a farm for about 5 years of my life. I love taking care of animals and playing with them. I’m currently working from home and have plenty of time to walk the dogs and play with them! I go on walks every day to have some exercise in my life. I also live in an apartment and a lot of people have animals plus there is a dog park! We have a dog park with our apartment building! I don’t have any dogs but I would love to have some company since my fiancé works 8am-7pm everyday! I’m currently working from home. I love going on walks and just playing with animals!

About: Hi! I’m Alyssa, I grew up around all kinds of animals and it’s made me a reliable and caring pet lover who enjoys spending time with them. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority! My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of time and attention. I’m available anytime after 1 PM everyday of the week for walks or drop-ins! I also work part-time throughout the week, but I still have a lot of free time and can often fit in pet care depending on the timing. Because I keep my schedule fairly open, I’m able to focus on making sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s needs, personality, and schedule so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. At this time, I do not offer boarding in my home due to the animals that already live here and the limited space. However, I’m happy to care for pets in their own home through drop-ins, walks, or house sitting where they are most comfortable in their familiar environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision. I respect your home, keep things clean, and will always keep you updated so you know your pet is safe and happy.

About: About me: I have owned dogs ever since I was little. My love and passion for their care has never stopped and I continues to show this through the work I do. I started taking care of dogs in my neighborhood and then at Piper Glen Animal Hospital. I know every dog is one of a kind and pet parents should not have to pay extra for care their pets deserve. Her passion for dogs led me to help dogs get the individualized attention they need and help pet parents get the affordable care they've been looking for. I’ve proven herself through Wag, Rover, and Care which requires a clean background check. You and your fur babies will love the fun and interactive environment offered. I have a big heart. Especially, for animals. I have a flexible schedule & lots of time & freedom to enjoy my days with your pets . We will spend lots of time together inside and outside . I go above and beyond and do what I can to make sure your pets feel relaxed, comfortable, & right at home . It’s what I love to do

About: I am a previous dog owner and have the biggest heart when it comes to animals!! I’m great with bath time and training. I love the outdoors and have no problem spending plenty of time outside running around playing catch! There is a dog park in my neighborhood and plenty of places in the area if the dog isn’t use to other animals. I live 10 minutes from river walk and other great walking trails! I also have a nice size patio for sun bathing. I use to work at a dog kennel so I have experience working with every size dog from a chihuahua to an English mastiff. Keep me in mind for all of your dog walking and over night stays! Thank you!

“I am a very anxious dog parent. I felt so safe leaving my girl in Christine's care. Our meet and greet was thorough and it was obvious that she has really good dog energy. She did a wonderful job taking care of Liza, and I loved the very detailed Rover card and cute pictures. Liza got a long walk on the greenway and was so much calmer and happier when I got home from work than she normally is. I will absolutely be booking Christine again.”

About: Hi! I’m Lorena, a dependable and caring pet sitter with a lifelong love for dogs. I work from home, so your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I also have 15 years of experience caring for my own Miniature Schnauzer from puppyhood through her senior years, including medication and special care needs. I understand how important it is to feel confident your pet is safe and loved while you’re away. I follow routines closely and provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I look forward to caring for your furry family member! I work from home so Pepper and I will have an extra friend to keep us company during the day. We go outside several times during the day. We do not have a fence, however I take Pepper on walks on the leash very often. Your dog can sleep on its bed, we also have an extra bed.

About: I have lived on a farm and owned pets my whole life! I love animals and I'm very accustomed to taking care of them. I also occasionally house-sit and pet-sit for close friends and family! I am currently a part time college student in Lynchburg and I only have a residential class one day a week. I do work part time as a server so some days I might have to take care of your pet until I go to work in the afternoon and then return in the evening. Dog/house sitting works better for me because I live on a farm with lots of other animals, which can make it tricky to keep other pets in the house.

“Nikki walked our two large Doodles every day for a week while my wife and I were away. She had good communication, was reliable, and great with the dogs. We will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of my dog growing up, always giving him the care they needed. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and even farm animals as well for family members. I am currently a college student and pet sitting aligns with my schedule because it allows me be financially stable while I continue my studies and commit to other things such as internships for my career. I will take care of my clients pet by always remaining cheerful and engaged. I will provide the care and the attention that my clients pet needs, and I will provide my fullest attention to them as well throughout the entire service.

About: I work currently for an Animal Hospital, I have 4 years of experience with Animals big or small, I own 3 pitbulls at home and care for them everyday. I also know certain allergens and certain sickness if needed. I am currently working every Mon, Tues, Wed, and Fri, and at least 1 Sat per month. I work until 6 so I can do I quick walk if needed after my schedule, otherwise I will available every Thu, Sunday, and most Sat as long as I'm not working that certain Sat. I have a fenced yard, with 2 senior pit bulls and one 3 year opd pit bull, who is a little goober. I take special care for my seniors by making sure they can safely walk outside and potty, and I have them on specific diets that consists of fiber and iron to help thier joints feel better. As far as my younger one I daily train him to keep him in line. But he usually will get a specific diet for his digestive issues, so no human food and on a gastrointestinal wet and dry food.

About: I am very passionate about animals! I have 4 fluffy fur legged babies of my own and I know how hard it is to trust someone with them. I treat every anaimal as if it were my own. While in my care I can assure you, your babies will be loved and cared for. For drop in / over night visits: You pup will always be worn out as I don’t believe in 30 min visits while that is what you will pay for. I stay until the pups are ready to rest again. I bring things like puzzles, arts and crafts and chuck it just as a few examples. For boarding at my house: I currently work from home. Your pet will hardly be in a create and will be treated just like one of mine. Many potty breaks throughout the day. I often get on the floor and play so they know I am part of the pack. Toys? Well let’s just say there is not a shortage of toys in the house. Every room we visit has a “toy box”. Treats? No shortage of those here either but, I like to make them earn them - like enforcing commands they already know and rewarding them for going potty. I have almost a half acre with a fully fenced in back yard. Your pet will go out multiple times a day. I also foster and rescue pups so I am very good with socializing new pups with mine. They have previously lived with smaller pups such as a Jack Russell and Yorkie and they loved them to pieces. They also attend “daycare” and “overnight camp” in order to keep them socialized.

About: I have had pets as long as I can remember and have personally taken care or my pets for about eight years now, I recently helped my sibling to raise their puppy and have a blind dog I care for. I currently am not employed so I should have a great deal of time to take care of your dogs. I will be shre your pets are fed, watered, and gets plenty of exercise I have a nice open yard in a cozy townhouse with a friendly puppy who should be able to keep your dogs company so they don't get lonely.

About: I have hands-on experience with dogs at every stage of life, from training energetic puppies and reinforcing good habits, to providing patient, attentive care for senior dogs. I currently care for two dogs, a 7 year old labordoodle and a 3 year old golden doodle. I also have experience with senior dogs, which has given me a deep understanding of the extra compassion, attention, and adaptability older dogs need. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs—and I take the time to understand that. Whether it’s structured walks, consistent training reinforcement, or simply making sure your dog feels safe and loved while you’re away, I treat every dog like my own. I build my schedule around consistent time blocks each day, which allows me to provide reliable, attentive care while still being flexible for my clients’ needs. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or overnight stay, I make sure every dog gets dedicated, unrushed attention. I provide attentive, structured, and loving care whether pets are in my home or their own environment. My goal is always to keep their routine as consistent, safe, and stress-free as possible. In my home, dogs have access to a secure, fenced-in backyard where they can safely run and play. I regularly spend time outside with them playing fetch and letting them burn off energy, along with taking them on walks throughout the day. I currently have two dogs of my own, so any dog in my care benefits from social interaction, supervised play, and a comfortable, home-like environment. Inside, I make sure every dog has a calm, clean space to relax, with plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I follow each owner’s instructions closely when it comes to feeding schedules, crate routines, medications, and any specific needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. This includes walks, feeding, playtime, and reinforcing any training or habits they’re used to. I also make sure the home is respected and kept tidy, and I provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. Overall, I treat every pet like my own—making sure they are safe, exercised, mentally engaged, and genuinely cared for.
