Dog Walkers in Cedar Mountain, NC

About: I love cats. Especially the type that wants to curl up next to me. Do to my boyfriend having an allergy to cats we currently don’t have any. But I don’t mind dropping in and taking care of the fur babies. I’m currently a 911 Dispatcher for Transylvania County. I work every other week there. (Week on; week off) I will post my monthly schedules that way you can know if I’m a best fit for you. I would prefer not to have other dogs at my home. Due to one of my dogs not being all that friendly. But do not mind going to other homes and taking care of dogs through out the week.

“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.”

“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've cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, rabbits, ducks, and farm animals, and have lived on homesteads where animal care was part of daily life. Before settling in beautiful Brevard, I spent 1.5 years full-time house and pet sitting while traveling. During that time, I completed over 30 assignments with consistently 5-star reviews. That experience instilled the importance of leading with a genuine heart, trustworthiness, good communication, and consistency when caring for someone’s home and beloved pets. I especially enjoy dog walking and in-home pet care. Daily walks are one of my favorite parts of this work - whether in local parks, on trails, or simply around the neighborhood. I also provide attentive drop-in care that helps pets stay comfortable and on routine in their own home, while their owners are away. I appreciate taking the time to understand each pet’s personality, needs, and routines so they feel safe, understood, and well cared for. Whether it’s exercise, companionship, feeding, or simply keeping their day consistent, I aim to provide genuine, attentive care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. I also have experience caring for senior pets and those who need a gentler pace. For cats, I provide calm, attentive in-home visits that respect each cat’s personality and need for space. I follow their lead and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Please note that my 6-year old does accompany me on dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnights. They are very comfortable with animals and always under my supervision, but please ensure your pets are comfortable with children prior to booking. Thank you for considering me - I look forward to caring for your pets as if they were my own. I’m a homeschooling mother, which gives me a flexible daily rhythm that allows for regular walks and outdoor time. I genuinely enjoy being outside with dogs for walks and/or playtime, and ensuring each pet receives calm, attentive, and loving care. My 6-year-old does accompany me on visits and is always closely supervised and wonderful with animals. Please ensure your pets are comfortable with children prior to booking. I view pet and house sitting as a responsibility and privilege. I understand I am caring for what people value and cherish most, and I take that trust seriously. I provide attentive, reliable care and aim to ensure pets are safe, comfortable, and well looked after in a calm and enriching environment. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and care instructions so their day-to-day life remains consistent and familiar while in my care.

About: As I partner with pet parents, I look forward to welcoming and honoring each pet's spirit and unique needs. Growing up with animals taught me how to truly listen to these sacred beings and notice the subtle ways they communicate. I can promise that I will show up for every animal trusted in my care the way I'd want someone to show up for mine: with patience, presence, and a whole lot of love. I am an artist with the ability to easily move my schedule around. I look forward to walking, boarding, and supporting pet parents with any care needs that arise. I have a fenced in yard and a clean, quiet home. When caring for dogs, I look for opportunities to engage in play as often as possible both to bond with your fur baby and to ensure they are having fun!

About: Greetings! When I was two I picked out my first puppy and have cared for, trained, and loved dogs ever since. My son and I have two dogs ourselves and love to stay active-walks in the woods, runs in the neighborhood, or hikes up the mountain. I would love to offer that life to dogs whose owners may not have time to offer it to them themselves. I am a very responsible, gentle, yet stern handler who loves to see dogs thrive. Whether this is by implementing leash training, food rewards or consistant scratches to the ears, I am always engaged with your dog to know what he/she needs to have a safe and fun time. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I am currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and my son will love the new animals he will get to meet. I am highly attentive and responsible both with your home and with your beloved animals. I stick to the schedule and try to keep the animals as comfortable as possible while you’re away.

About: I’ve had pets ever since I was really young and always wanted to get into the field of working with animals. I’ve taken care of a variety of animals from dogs to bunnies to guinea pigs and almost all of them have lived a very long life. I’m always excited to see any animal and work with them no matter what kind they are. I look forward to seeing every animal that comes my way and taking care of them as if they wear my own. I am currently working a part-time job, but I hope to transition to make this my part-time job. I am available and home every day of the week except Sunday (when I make this job my only job) and I’m home almost every hour and I will always make time for your pet. Well, the yard is on a hill and not fenced. I do have one dog three years old very friendly to keep any animal company. And if your dog needs to be in a crate. I can very much do that.

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

“Our dog took to Ashlee like she was family. She was always there when she planned to be and the communication was excellent. We are so grateful for her professional approach and hometown kindness. Well done!”

“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: I have owned dogs my entire life with many cats in between. I have had the pleasure of sitting dogs and cats all over the country, including house sits in California, Oregon, Washington, and now North Carolina. I have experience with young puppies, as well as elderly dogs with a plethora of health problems; I also have experience with big dogs like German shepherds, Australian shepherds, and Rottweilers, to teacup Pomeranians, spitz, and many more. I have been told I’m very high energy and fun, and the animals I have looked after always seem to pick up on that great energy and can’t wait to hang out. :) I sell vintage clothing, so being self employed allows me to better accommodate to all the needs of the animals. In our own home, our dog Endo is the King. He gets to enjoy long daily walks amidst the beauty of DuPont forest, swims in the lake behind our house, and nightly fresh cooked meals. My services on house sits include obviously feeding and general care of the animals, as well as promptly following specific dietary regimens and health requirements of every animal. I have cared for very old dogs that needed assistance in bowel movements as well as simple motivation for stubborn dogs that don’t like to walk. I have also looked after countless plants and hot tubs, ensuring proper watering and chlorination.

“Lindsey is so great with my little puppy and I greatly appreciate her afternoon walks with him! Her communication is fantastic. Highly recommend!”

About: I have not only been professionally pet sitting for one year, but I have been a lifetime pet owner. I specialize in exotic pets such as rabbits, reptiles, and birds. I have been a cat owner for 13 years and I am very familiar with German Shepherds. No pet is too big, too small, or too unique. I am currently a full-time student and I work a part-time job. I am available Friday - Sunday, and certain times on weekdays, except for Tuesday. Please reach out for more specific scheduling. I will always ensure that front and back doors, fences, and yard gates are closed/secure at all times so your pet does not escape. If your pet is required to stay in a crate, I will always make sure the crate is clean and secure. Dogs will always wear a harness with a leash to ensure extra safety.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up caring for our family dog, geese and ducks! Lately, i've committed myself to helping dogs and cats feel loved, safe and secure while their pet parents are away. I worked at a local veterinary clinic in their boarding department caring for overnight and long term clients. I previously worked at a local animal shelter for a year, where I learned the true responsibility of taking care of animals. Senior animals have such a special place in my heart! Animal happiness and safety is a main priority of mine. I am looking to take care of your animals part time and as needed! I have plenty of experience with all kinds of dogs and cats! I have 3 dogs currently, a shepherd mix, husky mix and a mini pin doberman alongside 2 cats! We have a large fenced in yard which allows us to let our dogs get their energy out and enjoy some time alone outside, while we continue to keep a close eye on them. The dogs are never out of my sight, I know how mischievous they tend to be.

“We were gone for the weekend and Mallory was wonderful with our 2 pups! They are usually crazy and destructive when we leave but they loved Mallory and behaved so well! Would highly recommend for pup sitting and walking.”

About: With a lifetime of hands-on pet care experience and 9 years as a full-time professional pet sitter, I bring a level of consistency and calm that pet owners (and their pets) tend to notice quickly. Much of my work has been with long-term clients who invite me back year after year to care for both their pets and their homes. My approach is routine-based, with a focus on maintaining familiar rhythms and keeping the environment peaceful. Clear communication and reliability have always been at the center of these relationships. I’m attentive and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I pay close attention to their cues and communicate with animals in a calm, reassuring way, helping them feel safe and at ease while you’re away. I take pride in offering thoughtful, dependable care so you can travel with real peace of mind. I’m always happy to share updates and photos with you, as you prefer. My schedule varies a bit from season to season, but I maintain a high level of flexibility. I’m thoughtful about how I plan my commitments so I can be fully present and dependable for the pets in my care. Note: My overnight schedule tends to fill up 2-6+ months in advance – booking early is always a good idea if you need overnights. I typically have more flexibility for cat visits and drop-in walks, so please feel free to reach out on shorter notice for those! I customize the care I provide to closely match your pet’s daily routine. I prioritize clear communication and thoughtful planning so pets feel secure and experience as little disruption or anxiety as possible. This often includes extra rewards for good behavior, playtime, and attentive companionship as needed. I’m happy to provide excellent long-term references upon request.

About: My name is Emily and I recently just moved to Hendersonville, North Carolina. I was a full-time dog & cat sitter while in school at Texas State University in Austin, Texas. I also was a farm manager before I had my daughter. We moved to North Carolina for my husband's job & to be closed to family. I have experience with training dogs, caring for livestock, & more. I love animals & hope to have a farm of my own someday. I'm currently working part-time at the student farm! I'll have plenty of time to care for the pups and kitties. 😸🐕. We'll have fun, haha! What the owners wants / request always comes first, even if it's just backyard play. I treat all animals if they were my own. Haha.

“Stacey was punctual and my dogs loved meeting her. She has a calm and caring way which even put my anxious dog at ease. I would highly recommend Stacey!”
