Dog Walkers in Cedar Mountain, NC

“Lindsey was great with Harper and Bailey. They are nervous around new people and she made them feel comfortable. My girls were well taken care of while I was away.”

About: I am need of full time employment and have been pet sitting for friends and family for over ten years now. I absolutely love dogs and spending time with them because their love is unconditional. I grew up helping take care of my family's dog for about fourteen years and then helped raise a puppy who is turning ten in October. I enjoy being around dogs and playing with them so I feel like this is going to be the right gig for me. I am very positive and outgoing and love spending time outside. I'm currently unemployed and hoping to pick up as many gigs as I can to get a new routine started as I settled in a new location. I adjust based on the animal's needs. Some dogs I've watched have been incredibly more active and needing of attention than others, as well as cats. It's all about hearing what the owner needs for their pets while they're away to ease any anxiety they have of leaving them.

About: Experienced with puppies to senior dogs. Love long walks and playing catch. Reliable, caring, and attentive to special diets and routines for happy, healthy pets. I’m a teacher with extra free time this summer and would love to spend it with your pup! Walking is my favorite stress relief, and since I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’m looking for some quality dog time. I’m available to walk your dog up to three times a day—or more if you'd like! I can also stay awhile to feed and pet your pup. Your dog will be in caring, dependable hands—and I’ll treat them like family. I try to keep things as normal and comfortable as possible for your pet. I follow your routine—feeding, walks, playtime, whatever they’re used to—so they feel safe and happy. I give lots of love, attention, and belly rubs, and make sure they get the care and company they need while you're away.

About: You will receive 24/7 care. I provide a continuous care service, ensuring that pets are accompanied at all times. I treat pets as if they were part of my family. I take walks, games and activities that stimulate them physically and mentally. I provide photos and videos at all times while your faithful friend is with me. I can take care of pets preferably in the mornings before 2 and on weekends. Although, I can change my work schedule whenever you need. I prefer to take care of the pets at home, I can bathe them, comb them, feed them and take them for walks, all with more comfort in my home. You will have photos and videos all the time if you prefer.

About: Howdy! My name is Grey, and i want to snuggle your dog! Once upon a time, as an aging single male with no children employed at a plant, a coworker asked me if I would mind watching her dog for a night while she left town. I obliged and from that grew several clients from my workplace, and friends told friends, dogs told dogs, and i was never in my own bed for months watching other peoples' dogs and homes. My reviews are real and recent and if dogs could write as well as they speak, they would echo the same. I'm extremely interactive with your Pooch,but I'M NOTHING SPECIAL. I do specifically what im told regarding pets, household duties, errands AND NOTHING MORE OR LESS unless circumstances absolutely called for it. Excessive dog walks? NO PROBLEM! Plant watering and mail? LEMME DO THAT! Receiving 18 Amazon packages daily that you don't want on your front porch? Perfect, I don't want them on your porch either! My goals for your booking are: 1) Total peace of mind for pet parents upon departure. 2. 100% wagalicious excitement OR cuddlicious tranquility for pet during the trip. 3) A clean and choreless home with happy pets upon arrival. I'm ultra reasonable and can work with people on pricing depending on specific scenarios BUT I am not a miracle worker nor am I a dog whisperer. I throw balls, take long walks, verbally stimulate, feed and water your furbabies. Sometimes, i let them kiss my mouth (once per day, per dog). I take them to parks. I take them on hikes. I DO NOT TRAIN THEM..... SO, if they are destructive with the owner around, they will be 10x as destructive with me around. If they pee in the house, they are going to pee in 10x as much Square footage with me around vs the actual owner. I'm not Cesar Milan....I'm YOU for a week. Please respond with some contact info, interested dates and maybe anything ultra specific needed during your excursion. I'm a solid sitter, but there is only one of me, so let's book soon! Any medical professionals specializing in male pattern baldness, TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE, please:) I do this full time, however, I'm newer to the area and I'm now discovering some of the challenges it provides, mostly that my average commute between jobs and home is over 1 hour. Ideally, i leave your house 1-2 times per day for no more than 4-5 hours. I do this with your dog's daily routine in mind, and am with them at whatever specific times needed for wake up, feedings etc. I use this time to handle other dogs, do my own errands or just a general break from sitting in the same place for 24 hours. These are obviously just guidelines and they can be altered to suit you and puppykins, and whatever is decided between us is adhered to responsibly every time. I love all dogs and 99% of cats and 95% of people. So much love to give.... I have ALWAYS, well before signing up for this app, cleaned client homes before client returns home. While not a professional, my goal is to always leave property in the same condition or better than I found it, mostly successfully. DON'T LET MY DEMOGRAPHIC FOOL YOU!!! I'm tidy and domesticated and I treat people's space and belongings with the highest level of care. I act as if there is a camera on me at work and in my personal life (and there likely is!). Pets are never unattended except for when I use restroom or quick necessity while tending to other matters of the home. Any and all protocols discussed are strictly adhered to. I take this very seriously. I watch a lot of Judge Judy and Judge Joe Brown helped raise me. I handle people's homes and pets in accordance with their exacting standards towards pet handlers and caretakers

“Maria met and exceeded expectations across-the-board and was a consummate professional. At no time did I ever feel anything other than complete confidence in the level of care she was providing my animals in my absence. I hope to be able to have her take care of my pets in the future and I highly recommend her without reservation for any pet sitting or pet care needs.”

About: I am a life-long animal lover and advocate. I have nearly 2 decades of pet care experience ranging across various animal species, age, temperaments, and conditions. My schedule is quite flexible and I am happy to accommodate any special needs your furmily needs! I work from home with a very flexible schedule so I am freely available for visits. I’m also generally available on weekend visits as well. From a wellness and care perspective, I aspire to treat every animal as if it were my own. Just to speak a bit about them…I have 3 fur babies at home, 1 Pyrenees mix, 1 Cattle dog mix, and 1 feline fuzzball. Each of the dogs get ample exercise, enrichment, and treats every day. I pride myself on being a cat-dad just as much as a dog-dad so the fuzzball gets his own enrichment and support each day as well :-)

About: I have been around all types of animals and pets my whole life. I don't mind taking care of any type of pet you may have from babys to seniors, cats of all breeds and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I’m also good with taking care of other domestic pets, exotic pets and farm animals. I only work part time so I have a lot of extra time to care for animals and enjoy being outdoors walking, biking and hiking. I can also just enjoy sitting on the porch with a cat in my lap and a dog at my feet. I have a fully fenced in yard for dogs to run and play in. We have a back deck that can be closed off for playtime. Inside we have room for play and crate time if needed. My house is open and available for fur babies to relax, run, play and have pet beds for sunbathing or relaxing.

About: I've had all different kinds of pets throughout my life (cats, dogs, rabbits, ducks) - and have lived on homesteads with farm animals too. Most recently I've been full time house and pet sitting over the last year while traveling. I have completed 24 assignments with glowing off the charts 5 star reviews. House/pet sitting has been one of the the most special things I've ever done. You can be sure your pup will get daily walks in local parks or trails, playtime in the yard or the dog park, and lots of cuddle time too - there will be no shortage of affection and attention. Please note that my two children do accompany me on overnight pet sitting assignments. They are wonderful with animals and under my supervision the entire time, though please be sure your pets are comfortable and okay with children prior to sending a booking request. Thank you! I'm a work from home, homeschooling mother. I have curated our lifestyle such that we have flexibility throughout the day. I always welcome an opportunity to get outside with your pups for a walk and play time. Please note that I do overnight pet sits with my two children. I supervise them at all times, and they are wonderful with animals, though please be sure your pets are comfortable and okay with children prior to sending a request for booking. I regard pet and house sitting as an honor and responsibility. Caring for what people love and cherish most. I bring my heart and presence to each assignment, insuring your pets are always in a safe loving and enriching environment, with an attentive and trustworthy caregiver.

“Raining. Walk went well. Dog pulls constantly. Must find Halty collar. Louise did everything she needed to do. Very good experience. Recommend completely but get dogwalker to stay for more than 30 minutes.”

About: Hi! I love animals and have always had them throughout my life, ranging in size from rodents to horses. Currently, I have a cat and miss having a dog in the home, so I would love nothing more than to make sure your pet has the care and attention you would give him or her yourself. As a doting pet owner, I understand the importance of knowing your pet is in good hands and well cared for and just how important updates can be when you are away. I am open to working with your schedule and learning anything particular that you and your pet may need. My services include walking, running, playing, feeding, administering medicines, or even bathing and brushing your pet. Just let me know any particulars in our meet and greet! Currently in between jobs and looking to fill in my schedule with some furry childcare. I have a flexible schedule and will only list on my calendar my availability. I am available to stay in your home since I know how important it can be for making pets feel safe. As a world traveller who uses home exchange, I will always leave your home as I found it if not neater and let you know of any issues right away.

About: What sets me apart is my deep experience and intuitive understanding of animal behavior built over 12+ years of caring for pets. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and temperaments, from playful puppies to senior pets with special needs. I’ve administered medications, handled dietary restrictions, and adapted care to suit anxious or shy animals. I take the time to bond with each pet so they feel safe, seen, and loved. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and I always prioritize communication so you can feel confident while you’re away. I’m currently working full-time Monday through Friday. Fridays I am available beginning 12:30pm and completely open on Saturdays and Sundays. Feel free to contact me if a different time is needed! At my home, pets have access to a secure yard for supervised outdoor time and a cozy indoor space to relax. I live in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of walking paths for daily walks and fresh air. I also have a small dog who will definitely keep your pup some company. Whether it’s daycare, overnight stays, or boarding, I maintain a clean, calm environment with structured routines, lots of play, and individualized attention based on your pet’s needs.

About: I have been a professional animal sitter for the past 15 years in Brevard NC and we've pretty much seen it all. I have a passion for animals and I have wonderful references. Some of my clients have been with me for all 15 of those years. I have sat for homes with cats, birds, dogs, rodents, reptiles, horses, goats, and chickens. I have one large sweet golden retriever who can stay with my brother on his farm if it is an issue for your pet(s). My husband and I work as a team to ensure all goes smoothly. Come meet us or give us a call to set up an interview and see why people come back! Hope to hear from you, Betsy Watson

“Thank you Kelsey for taking care of Piper on short notice. We'll definitely be in touch again.”

About: Fourteen years as a Kindergarten teacher and another 8 as an Elementary Art teacher should be a clue as to my patience with Little Ones (puppies) as well as Seniors (in their Golden years) and all the ages in between. I only work full time 6 months, so the other 6 I'm free to do what I love! This allows me to be a full-time pup playmate for your fur baby, not just a side hustle. Your baby is my only focus, as my two "kids" are out of the nest. Unlike the younger Sitters, I have an open schedule and can do long term stays/care if needed. I have FBI G8 Presidential Summit clearance, for peace of mind. I also taught in the Elementary school setting for 20 years. I now teach at an Environmental Education Nature Preserve. I have a Pug mix, so I'm familiar with special diets that are needed for certain breeds and don't mind chopping veggies and fruit and cooking lean meats for their meals. I do this for my pup, and would be happy to offer this service to the discerning canine parents.

About: I am currently a coveted, 5-star petsitter and housesitter through TrustedHouseSitters with 22 sits completed (and counting!) in just 7 months on the site. For over 6 years, I have been caring for pets and homes of colleagues, friends, and family. Throughout my journeys, I have made sweet and affirming connections with numerous dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, and the occasional bird, pig, chinchilla, and chicken. My petsitting responsibilities have included refilling and cleaning food and water bowls, scooping litter multiple times a day, taking dogs out for walks, engaging in nourishingly active play, and — of course — supplying snuggles, scratches, and belly rubs galore! I also have experience administering medication & shots to dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens, and have cared for senior dogs and cats as well. I have 6 years of experience housesitting. My housesitting responsibilities have included wiping down the counters, sweeping, vacuuming, washing dishes, cleaning the stove and burners, and disposing of trash/compost/recycling. My first priority is always the pets and homes I care for. I arrange my schedule according to your pets and homes in order to honor each of their specific needs at any given time, as I have a very flexible, part-time, remote job. I'm also a big homebody and am always delighted to curl up with your pets while reading, writing, or enjoying a nice cup of tea! I am a strong communicator who asks detailed questions to ensure that your pets and homes receive the care that they need. I am proactive in my care to ensure that you may go about your travels with ease. I follow all house rules and respect your home boundaries. Ultimately, I am a true lover of animals at heart who will provide tender care for your furry companions!

About: My name is Alina and I would like to take care of your beloved pet. I am willing to do many things if needed without question. This means drop-in sitting, home stays, and dog walking. I will try my best to accommodate all of your specific needs for each pet. The people that I have pet sat for have say that I am great at my job. My prices are very reasonable. I am very reasonable when it comes to money and the time of the appointments. I am also honest and trustworthy. If you need anything like this, do not hesitate to contact me thru text, call, or email. I am looking forward to taking care of your pets for you when you need it. ATTENTION: I charge a $20 fee if your home is more than 35 mins from Sylva, NC. Pet care fits into my daily and/or weekly routine quite easily because due to me being on and off jobs which are mainly at night. I care for pets in your home by following all the instructions you give especially when it comes to going outside, with a leash or whatever the client prefers me to use.

“Alan was great with the pups! He saved me in a pinch and took such great care of my babies! They loved him from the second they met him! Definitely an amazing person to have in charge of your puppies!”

About: Hi!! I’m Sky, an adventure seeker, an outdoors enthusiast and the most passionate dog person this side of the Mississippi 😆 I’m new to the area and settling into my new home. I have the PERFECT set up at home for pets (giant fenced-in yard, access to many hiking trails/dog parks, etc.) More importantly, I am extremely passionate about animals and giving them the love they deserve. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always been called on to dog sit for family & friends. Your pet will be safe, snuggled, and loved in my care! I typically have 3-4 days off in a row, every week. This makes it easy for me to give your pet the attention he/she deserves. My average work day is 6-8 hours, so if pet setting falls on a work day for me, this is the longest stretch of time your pet would be without care. I have no other pets (yet) 😆. So your dog will get my undivided attention! My home offers a large yard, many dog walking opportunities in the area, pet-friendly furniture, and an indoor camera for the kennel or dog room, so you and I can keep an eye on your dog while I’m away at work!
