Dog Walkers in Clemson, SC

About: Hello! I have taken care of many different types of animals, all shapes and sizes ever since I was 15 years old. I have taken care of cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, and fish! Whether it’s just one fur baby, or even up to six at a time, I can do it! I love animals and have a cat and four fish of my own—I have had a few dogs in the past as well! I would love to get to know your pets and take care of them if you need help! :) I am typically free most week days and weekends anytime to walk, feed, or play with pets. Mondays and Wednesdays I am more busy in the morning time due to classes, however I can still do drop-ins before and after on those days as well! For my current pets I keep my fish in a 50 gallon tank since they are smaller, but love the space. For my cat, Squash, she stays in my main unit with me free to roam around and cuddle with me whenever she likes. I do not offer boarding services since my complex only allows a certain amount of pets at a time.

About: Hi i’m maddie! I am a current sophomore at Clemson University originally from Attleboro MA. I have had pets my whole life, growing up with 2 dogs and a cat. When I was 14 I began having more responsibilities with the pets, Including walking, feeding and cleaning up after them. Additionally one of my dogs had back surgery which caused him not to be able to walk very well. This gave me experience in taking care of injured pets. Changing catheters, dressing the wound and lifting my 70 pound dog when needed. I would love to be able to visit some of your pets. I am willing to walk for hours at a time and am not worried about the cold. I also have a very open schedule and could be able to visit frequently. I am a student. When I am home over break I do not have a winter job so I have complete availability. As for school. The majority of my classes are in the morning between the hours of 8-12 on tuesday’s and thursdays and 9-11 on monday wednesday friday. I would be willing to make time anytime in between or after classes. At home I walk my dogs, feed them, and make sure they are kept entertained. I let them put in the yard in between walk times if they want to go and make sure they have toys and snacks provided. For my cat, she is indoor outdoor so I make sure I always keep a lookout for when she wants to come in or out as well as changing litter when needed and feeding her

About: I have over 2 years of hands-on experience working in professional dog daycare and boarding environments, where I cared for multiple dogs at once of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. This experience has helped me become very comfortable handling high-energy dogs, shy or anxious pets, and multi-dog households. In addition to supervision and playtime, I have experience with basic grooming such as bathing, brushing, and general upkeep to keep pets clean and comfortable. I am also attentive to feeding schedules and any medications, making sure each pet’s routine and needs are followed closely. I understand how to read dog behavior and prioritize safety, structure, and a positive environment for every pet in my care. I am currently a sophomore at Clemson University. Some of my classes are online allowing myself to have more free time. I am able to house sit full time Thursday nights through Sunday nights until summertime (I will then be available everyday of the week). I can house sit early evening until mid-day on other nights. I can provide frequent walks and check ins through out the entire week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I carefully follow all instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise, to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I treat every pet and home with respect and care, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.

About: In addition to being raised with small dogs around the house, I started volunteering and dog walking at humane societies at a young age. Since then, I have fostered the sweetest pals, ranging from great danes to kittens. As a student, I cannot own or foster animals of my own, I would love to hang out with yours! I currently attend class during the weekdays. However, my schedule is convenient! After a brief class at 9AM, I’m available all the way until 3:00, and will be back to your pal by 5. While I can’t currently host at my condo, I will treat your home with the utmost respect and care. Written instructions on pet care, as well as any home tasks that you require are greatly appreciated!! I understand that you’ll want to make sure your pal is thriving, so I provide plenty of updates, pictures, and videos throughout the day!

About: I've run a dog rescue that placed 1000+ dogs in new homes in 3 years, worked as a live-in animal care taker at a dog and cat boarding facility, and trained several service dogs for a national service dog organization. I've had dogs and cats of my own for over 20 years, and am often the person's friends and family call when they have a dog/cat question instead of google. I've seen and done it all, which means I know how to manage a wide variety of dogs and cats (and more) with all their personalities and quirks. I work full time, but with pretty flexible hours with enough heads-up. I have dogs and cats of my own, so I already have an easy routine of caring for them and it's quite easy to add another. I move my work schedule around to maximize the best times for hikes/outside time for the dogs depending on the weather. I try to take at least one of my dogs for hikes at the Clemson Experimental Forest 2-3x a week. I have a fenced yard with a small (fully enclosed and secure) chicken run. Any visiting dogs would have supervised time to play in the yard or the fenced back deck several times a day. I have 3 friendly dogs who would love to play or just hang out, or can be kept fully separate from any visitor if the visitor needs their space. They are used to mixing or staying separate from any visiting dogs/cats. I also have two cats who are dog friendly, or remain completely upstairs to themselves if any visitors aren't cat friendly. Visiting pets are setup in my home office with a crate of their own (if needed), plenty of windows, and room to play or bed to nap on.

About: As a lifelong pet owner, I've cared for countless animals, including those with additional needs. I am comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and pups who need medication administration. I have volunteered at my local animal shelter everywhere I have lived, giving me lots of experience in quickly getting acquainted with new pups and making friends with them. As a full-time student, I am always happy to have a pet to play with after my lectures. Having a happy furry friend to look forward to makes long days on campus much more bearable. Because of my class schedule, my availability varies day by day, but I have a minimum of 30 minutes each day to visit with pets! While visiting with your pet, I aim to ensure the safety of your pet and your home. I will follow all specific instructions (crating, doggy gates, etc.) and work tirelessly to keep your animal happy during my visit.

About: With years of experience caring for pets, I’ve developed a deep understanding and love for animals. I currently have a dog and a cat of my own. My dog, adopted at 2 months old, is now 1 year old and I’ve trained her through all of puppyhood, and my cat is 4 years old, who I’ve cared for since she was 3 months old. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to care for their pets while they’re away, and I walk and care for a dog for an elderly lady in my town multiple times a week. I also have experience with training dogs and providing attentive care for elderly pets, ensuring each one receives the special attention they need. My dedication and hands-on experience set me apart as a compassionate and reliable pet sitter. I currently work part-time and remotely with a very flexible work schedule. I am available almost every day to care for pets, and am very flexible with my hours. In my home or yours, your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a pet-friendly, secure environment with constant supervision and plenty of affection. I follow all safety protocols, including secure leashes and harnesses for walks, and I ensure a clean, hazard-free space for your pet to explore and relax. Your pet will always receive personalized care tailored to their unique needs, ensuring a happy and stress-free experience. Trust that your furry friend is in capable and loving hands with me.

About: I have been around animals for my whole life. But one day I found the love of my life in 6th grade..my pup named Marley. I have been the one in my family that has taken care of Marley since we got him 6 years ago. I also pet sit for my moms friends on long weekends that they are out of town. And when I was younger I would go with my mom to take care of kittens and cats at our local pet store. Currently I am available Monday through Sunday. Early mornings and late evenings are definitely not a problem. I can be very flexible with whatever situation is present. I have big, fenced backyard for a lot of play time. I also have a very friendly dog that loves to keep others company. I have many toys and treats available. They would be pampered and loved on however much they want. At night they can also sleep with me in my room or any other preferred method.

About: I’ve had pets in my home ever since I was little, and 5 years ago got a dog of my own. I’ve also been pet sitting for a neighbor for over a year now, with their dog, puppy, and two cats. This year I’ve also been living with a young cat taking care of him whenever my roommate is away. I will not have any time restrictions when caring for pets while I am home. I will be available all day every day, as discussed. I am not offering my home up to care for pets as I have a dog that does not always get along with other animals.

“Accidentally booked the wrong dates and she was perfectly flexible and more than willing to check on my dog!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 3 years. I have taken care of all ages. I have stayed over night and made daily visits I currently work, but have been looking for a job to fill me free time. I want to give your dogs the attention the need I have reliable transportation and can get to your house on time. I will be attentive to your instructions and care of your pet acutely.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs in my lifetime and two as of right now. I’m known for having an all-gentle approach to any animal. Any special directions given will be followed thoroughly. I’m a very hands-on caregiver and make sure your animal gets great exercise under my care. As you can see in my gallery, I have a great experience with not only dogs and cats but horses as well. I like to think that I am a well-rounded animal caretaker. I have five dogs back in California that I love and adore. If you have multiple dogs that need to be checked on, I am very comfortable and used to providing care for up to five dogs at a time. During my pet care experience, I am comfortable giving your animal medication via pills but I am not comfortable with administering intravenous shots to your pet. I worked at a dog training facility as a trainer and volunteered at a no-kill shelter by routinely walking dogs. I am very good at de-escalating stressful situations if they arise from my experience working at these two facilities. Will crate if needed I’m a college student attending Clemson University so my schedule opens up frequently. I will be interning at a vet clinic during the summer in Visalia, Ca and will post my final schedules below when they become available to me. When dog walking I do not take dogs to dog parks because of the potential dangers that come with unleashed dogs. Your dog's safety is my priority. I would enjoy taking dogs to the lake, on a hike, or to the Clemson campus when I am back in SC. You know your dogs better than anyone so I would appreciate having you let me know of any behaviors abnormal to your dog so that I may notify you if I see it.

About: I’ve had 4 golden retrievers - one blue ribbon 2 breeders and one from shelter all were treated like they won the lottery and were spoiled I Work from home and am available most of the time. So plenty of time I can spend walking them or keeping an eye on them while I work. I keep and eye on them and play with them while I work. They will receive a lot of love and attention so no worries!

About: My high school offered veterinary science courses which I enrolled in to better care for my own pets. In these courses we were taught to care for a variety of animals, mainly cats and dogs, while also getting hands-on experience caring for foster animals at the school. The foster animals ranged from anything from newborn kittens and puppies, pregnant mothers, sick or injured animals, to animals saved from abusive homes. My family also has always had at least one dog, and at times two. From this alone I have experience with caring for dogs that are only a month old to old enough to need diapers. I am currently enrolled as a student at Clemson University and I'm happy to care for pets when I'm not completing my studies. I'm able to provide daytime pet care all days of the week, but hours will vary depending on my class schedule and extracurriculars. I'm able to house sit overnight Friday, Saturday, and Monday nights. I'm also willing to house sit the other nights if you're close enough to campus that I'll be able to make it to my 8:00 a.m. classes. I'm more than happy to do long walks, extensive play time, and as much cuddling as your pet desires. If you have a set schedule for feeding, medication, and/or walks I will follow it the best of my abilitys.

About: I love dogs more than anything and took care of my childhood dog for more than 11 years. I also have experience with dog walking. I recognize the love and attention dogs need and am more than happy to provide that. I am a college student with no outside responsibilities so my schedule is fairly free and flexible. I’m excited to help out whenever you need. When I’m around dogs I give them all my attention and love. Seeing them happy makes me happy and I’m thorough with taking care of them. I keep their routine consistent and follow all instructions given carefully. I will also send updates and treat your pet like family.
