Dog Walking Charleston Gardens

“Michael was very professional, great to work with, and spent the full, quality time with my 2 boys. When I came home, they were relaxed - happy to see me, but clearly not anxious. Now if they could just stop telling me how "Michael took them on TWO walks a day..." :D”

About: Hi! I’m Ally, an animal lover with professional animal care experience ranging from pet boarding facilities to the Oakland Zoo. My approach is calm, attentive, patient, and individualized to each animal. Animals have always been a central part of my life. I became vegetarian as a child because of my love for animals, and that value continues to guide both my personal and professional life today. Professionally, I previously worked at a pet boarding facility where I handled client communication, maintained veterinary and care records, administered medications, monitored feeding and intake, and provided daily hands-on animal care. I also worked as a Zookeeper Aide at the Oakland Zoo, where I helped prepare specialized diets and support daily animal care operations in a fast-paced environment. I’m currently completing a Master’s degree in Environmental Health Sciences at Columbia University, so I’m especially detail-oriented, responsible, communicative, and reliable. What You Can Expect From Me: -Reliability, reliability, reliability! ☺️ -Regular communication, updates, and photos -Calm, patient handling style -Attention to detailed feeding and care instructions -Lots of affection, play, and individualized attention Previous Experience: -Zookeeper Aide at Oakland Zoo -Behavioral Health worker at a California primate center -Animal care work at research centers -Wildlife rehabilitation and sanctuary volunteer experience -Pet sitting experience with a wide range of pet breeds and personalities -Pet First Aid and CPR certified I'm currently working remotely on my capstone project to finish my Master's degree, which means my schedule is quite flexible to care for your fur babies! I do have my own cat so I need to take his own care into account when considering bookings. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and consistent environment for every pet in their own home. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, routines, and household rules while paying close attention to behavior, appetite, and overall wellbeing. I understand that every animal has a different comfort level and personality, so I approach each pet with patience, attentiveness, and respect for their space and routine.

“Jordan was phenomenal with our dog! From the initial meet-and-greet to the end of the sit, she was thoroughly professional, dependable, and communicative. She followed all feeding and care instructions to the letter and constantly went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt comfortable, loved, and engaged. The updates and photos she sent gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and could not recommend Jordan highly enough. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”

“Katie was well-prepared with treats, toys, and water. I was also concerned about separation anxiety, but given the large yard and ample attention and toys, it wasn't an issue : )”

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs through both volunteer fostering and dog sitting for friends and family. I fostered 16 dogs total through Coppers Dream Rescue, gaining experience with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and individual care needs. I’ve also volunteered as a dog walker with Best Friends Animal Society and Westside German Shepherd Rescue. As a result, I’ve developed a patient, attentive, and responsible approach to dog care. My goal is to ensure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re in my care. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate dog care needs throughout the day. I can work with pet parents to find a schedule that fits their routine. I prefer to walk dogs in quiet, low-traffic neighborhood routes. Safety is my highest priority, and I want to ensure a dog feels secure in whatever environment they are in.

“Lisa is great with our senior dog. Punctual, communicates well, and makes sure he has a great walk. Would highly recommend.”

“Courtney is very professional, thoughtful and gentle, with my energetic Golden Retriever. She helped us in an over heat week. She planned routes with shade, and kept a very close eye to the dog during the walks. We will definitely book again!”

“Alexander has walked my dog for two walks so far, and he has been AWESOME. Super reliable, easy to work with, communicative, and very clearly cares for dogs. Highly recommend him, and I’m looking forward to working with him regularly! It’s my first experience using Rover, and I’m really grateful we found Alexander!”

“Caroline was very pleasant and responsive. She had a great experience with our pup and we will certainly use her again the future.”

“Maxim did a great job with Paris and Cupcake. They were a bit frightened on the meet and greet and barked, but Maxim was patient and gained their trust. He took them for a walk every visit and fed them homemade dog food. He played with them, giving them extra play time. I would definitely use Maxim again.”

Michelle T.

“Molly has done great taking our 2 high energy golden retriever pups on walks! She’s also super communicative, friendly, and professional. She asked all the right questions, and I can tell she truly has a passion for taking care of animals! She goes the extra mile to make sure they are exercised and get all their potties out! We will definitely be using her for all of our doggie care needs :)”

Caitlin M.

“Miriam has been wonderful- prompt, reliable, professional and our dog is happy! I love that she sends us photos after every walk. So glad we found her as it has taken a lot of stress off our minds knowing we have someone to walk her that we can trust!”

About: I am a relative new comer but I make up for this with lots of time and great soul. I wish to become part of the pet-ite bourgeoisie I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm mostly available for all days of the week now that summer is in! Unfortunately, I can't bring animals over to my home without permission but I can stay and take care of animals at your place for a long while

About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! My love for animals brought me to complete a degree in animal science, as well as working as a veterinary assistant. I’ve taken care of all ages - from puppies and kittens to senior animals - and I enjoy every minute of it. I’m certified in CPR and can take care of special or medical needs animals. I can’t wait to meet your best friend! I am currently working part time, so my schedule can be flexible when needed. I’m available on the weekends, holidays, and nights. If you have a specific schedule in mind, feel free to reach out! I am not accepting stays in my home due to space. I am more than happy to do home visits at your home, where your pet is likely more comfortable. I stick to your pets schedule as best as I can and I treat pets as my own!

I love them all so much and I plan to take care of your pets just as I would mine own. I love to go on walks and play with animals, so I believe I would be a perfect fit for any household looking for a dog walker, sitter or just someone to drop in. I work remotely so that gives me a lot of flexibility and can take my work with me if possible. I do live in an apartment complex but I am surrounded by lots of parks, gated dog parks and walkable streets. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful pets! Thank you so much for you time and interest. I work from home full time. That allows me to be pretty flexible with my days and IF needed i can take my work with me. In my own home, I believe that pets are family members & deserve love, attention and care; just as we do. I would provide that same service to a clients pets in their own home. Also, I believe in treating a clients space with respect and care just as I would want someone to do for me.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up rescuing and caring for cats and dogs, and my family has always shared our home with pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for the pets of friends and neighbours, and I’ve also trained our family dog in basic commands. My calm and gentle nature helps me connect easily with cats—earning their trust and providing comfort—while my active side makes me a great match for energetic dogs. I love hiking, long walks, and outdoor play, giving dogs both exercise and mental stimulation. No matter the pet, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and understood, always respecting their unique personalities and needs. I work remotely with a team based in Europe, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time throughout the day to provide pets with exercise, attention, and care. I provide pet care both in my home and in the pet parent’s home, always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I follow each pet’s usual routine and any specific instructions closely. Whenever possible, I also like to meet pets beforehand to get to know their personality, habits, and needs.

I maintain a flexible and reliable schedule and plan my days carefully to ensure pets receive consistent attention.

About: My passion for pets and commitment to their well-being, have helped me acquire invaluable experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments. From energetic puppies who can’t get enough playtime to seniors who prefer a cozy spot by the window, I tailor my approach to meet each dog's unique needs. I understand the importance of routine, which is why I prioritize punctual feeding and walking schedules. For many dogs, these moments are the highlights of their day, and I strive to make every experience enjoyable and fulfilling. Whether it’s hiking for the adventurous or gentle leash walks for those who like to take it easy, I’m dedicated to ensuring their happiness and comfort during their time apart from their owners. Additionally, I'm attentive to the emotional needs of pets who require extra affection and support. I take pride in creating a nurturing environment that helps ease their anxiety and keeps them engaged and content while their family is away. With my pet care experience, you can trust that your furry family members will receive the love, attention, and care they deserve! My schedule allows me to be flexible enough to adapt to your pets schedule! Thursday nights are when I'm on a tighter schedule but I'm glad to talk this over! I make sure to make their time away from you as close to their daily routine as possible. I make sure to know their likes and dislike to make them feel as safe and comfortable as possible. There are some dogs that do not feel good in loud and busy areas. So I make sure to go on walk them in quieter places. Also, if I am house sitting some prefer to co-sleep and I am comfortable doing so. Every pet care experience is catered to your and your pets liking :)
